Well…with all of the repub yapping about inflation and bragging that they are going to run against Biden and the dems with it in 2022 and 2024, you would think that they would know something about it…oh, that’s right…with their lie machine of fox news, they don’t have to have any facts or know anything…just the daily talking points delivered by fox news. So, with every credible economist saying the inflation we are seeing is transitory and due mostly to shortages rather than any underlying problems with the economy…you can see that just by looking at the contracts for oil for January that have dropped to 64 dollars a barrel from 100 bucks…which converts to about 2.35 a gallon of gas…and it could go lower once the oil companies stop keeping the prices high even when their costs have plummeted….I’ve seen that food prices have started to moderate, too, with pork shoulders back down to 99 cents a pound on sale compared to the 1.49 a pound they were just a few weeks ago…and you could still get a frozen turkey at Meijers last week for 33 cents a pound on sale….so, in these unprecedented times, let’s take a breath an hope the media stops howling about inflation…after all no family drinks 15 gallons of milk a week….yeah, that was a little joke….geez…

“Potgate”
Well…you know the repubs have nothing to criticize the Biden administration about since we are in the best economy in 20 years and have the lowest number of new unemployment claims in 50 years…so what do they choose to make into a fake scandal? Kamala Harris buying a 350 dollar pot in France with her own money…yep, this coming from the party that was just fine with the the idiot trump spending 150 MILLION dollars of taxpayer money to play golf and make a profit at his tacky golf resorts….and they bray on and on about “out of control” spending by Harris when there is “economic uncertainty” for many Americans….look, she makes over two hundred grand a year in pay for being VP…should she feel guilty for spending some of her pay to buy cookware…for anyone who loves to cook, and she does, having good cookware that lasts forever is a goal and spending 350 bucks is not an “obscene” luxury as the repubs would have the world think…it just shows you that they really do have nothing to criticize…so they have to make it up like they always do….and I hereby trademark “Potgate”…it’s mine now…geez..
Modern repub party….
Well…when a rapist invites a murderer down to Florida for a photo op, you have the snapshot of the modern repub party….that’s exactly what is happening right now…the Wisconsin murderer is being showered with job offers and is making the rounds of all the right wing news shows and is being hailed as a hero by the entire party…a hero for what? Murder, I guess….so that is the new mantra for them “rape and murder is okay…vote for me today!” Look, you know what this is going to do…every pissant wannabe rambo is going to start shooting since the media they watch is treating this little murderer like the savior of the world and they are gonna want them some of that…this is where the stand your ground laws and open carry has gotten us…and I’ll predict we’ll see one of these every damn day…what a bunch of crap…
Good news on boosters…
Well…I shouldn’t have to post this one in the politics category but the damn repubs have made it that way so that’s what I’ll do…just yesterday news came out that the booster shots are much more effective than the first two shots even were…..studies put that number at 95-98% of protection against infection and that is unheard of for a new vaccine…to put that in perspective, the yearly flu shots range from 40-60% effective so you can see how well these new ones work. I will never understand why anyone would not get this vaccine that will ensure that you don’t end up in misery at the hospital…and the fact that it’s free makes me shake my head even more…I guess that’s the political part of this as it has turned into a repub disease with a direct correlation between counties that voted for trump having the highest rate of anti vax sentiment and infections…I just can’t wait for it to be approved for children under 5 so my grandkids can get vaccinated and I can finally see them…that should come by the first of the year….can’t wait…
I guess now white punks can murder people and get away with it..
Well…as the days go on, I am beginning to hate the right wingers and what they are doing to this country…the latest is that little punk asshole in Wisconsin, who I won’t mention his name, shot three people, killing two of them and the all white jury let him off because of a repub law there that broadened the self defense statutes to basically let anyone off who just says “self defense” after he kills someone….my question is how the hell can you be scared for your life when you’re standing there with an AR-15 and are confronting unarmed people? But that didn’t matter to the judge there who constantly put his thumb on the scale for that little prick or to the jury who basically was on the defense team…now, I wonder what the verdict would have been if this would have been a black 17 year old killing two people? Yeah, there wouldn’t have been a trial at all…he never would have made it out of the area….the cops sure wouldn’t have given him water and asked if he was okay like they did with that little white prick….they didn’t even arrest him until months later….it’s time for the second amendment to go…no more guns for anyone…I’ve had enough…geez…
The repubs hate everything….
Well….after Kevin McCarthy’s 8 hour stunt rant yesterday on the House floor trying to delay the vote on the BBB bill, the only conclusion that can be made is that the repubs hate everything that would help most Americans. After all, the BBB bill has a bunch of good stuff in it like universal pre-k, capping insulin cost at 35 dollars a month, lowering other prescription drug costs, expanding family leave, dealing with climate change, expanding health care availability, and cutting child poverty….but there is much more in the bill that is paid for with higher taxes on the rich…but, unless their big donors are given the whole country, the repubs don’t give a damn and won’t vote for it…while they take credit for it back in their districts. One thing that the idiot McCarthy didn’t take into account was that his stunt of delaying the vote until this morning, he guaranteed that it would be the first thing that people saw on the morning news today and the passing would get much more coverage…super genius….now on to the senate….
It seems like they’re lying…
Well….this one is going to be a little jumbled since I have a few things I wan to talk about….first, just as I predicted, the repubs are back in their districts after Biden signed the infrastructure bill touting all it’s going to do for them…conveniently lying about the fact that none of them voted for it…or I should say not many voted for it…there were a few who participated in writing the bill and then voted for it and I thank them for that…and the response of repub leadership? You can guess this one…they want to censure all of the repubs who voted to help the people of the US and get started rebuilding the crumbling bridges, roads, buildings, and other infrastructure….and most of them will be primaried by far right nutjobs who will probably win and then lose in the general…kinda smart, huh? Explain this to me….consumer sentiment is in the low 30’s even with consumer spending reaching all time high….and the economy added an additional 700,000 jobs from June to September and real wages are up as well…so what is making people think the economy sucks? Could it be that the media doesn’t know how to cover good news anymore? Sure looks that way when you see the headlines screaming about inflation and how long it took to get the infrastructure bill passed…but it did pass but not much was written about what the benefits are going to be for the country….and that is wrong….geez….
Fox news hypocrites…
Well…if you ever watch fox news…and I sure hope you don’t, you’ve seen them go on and on and on railing against mask mandates and “vaccine passports” even though everyone who works there is required to be vaccinated…and just today it was announced that they are putting on a live show in Florida with the usual suspects like hannity and carlson who have made it their mission in life to lie about everything having to do with vaccines…and, guess what? Every person who is going to pay between 150 and 500 dollars to go to the event has to show their vaccine card or a negative test within 72 hours to be admitted….yep, in desantis’ Florida, that has a law preventing requiring proof of vaccination and has a 1,000 dollar fine for everyone who is asked their vaccine status, fox news is ignoring the law, probably with desantis’ blessing since they just love them some fox propaganda….and they love them some huge hypocrites that infest the right here in the US….I wonder when we on the left are going to get some billionaire to start our own truthful media empire to make sure people know the truth since the mainstream media daily seem to be going more and more right and keep parroting fox talking points? Needs to happen now….geez…
It’s about damn time…
Well…with the indictment of Steve Bannon on charges of contempt of congress, all I have to say is it’s about damn time…these assholes have been in contempt of our country and the rule of law for way too long with no consequences…but now, the first domino has fallen and stevie boy is looking at 2 years in the klink and no trump to pardon him…and this is an open and shut case…there is no question that he did what is alleged in the indictments and the judge in the case issued an arrest warrant but stevie has said he will voluntarily surrender to the cops on Monday…I just hope they are watching him closely so he can’t make a run for it…I wonder what Mark Meadows and the rest of the refusers are thinking now? If I were them, I would be scrambling to get my interview scheduled and get the papers ready that the committee has subpoenaed and that they refused to provide….finally, Merrick Garland has seen fit to do his duty and uphold the rule of law but let’s see if that continues..it better….geez…
Explain this repubs…
Well…if you have seen the news lately, almost every damn story is about inflation and we see the repubs incessantly blaming Biden for it and the pundits wailing that it will be the end of the dems……but, a new report out today shows inflation up by about the same amount the last month everywhere it was measured…Europe, Asia, Australia, and everywhere else shows the same percentage…so I guess Joe Biden controls the entire world’s economy now…and I’ll bet that would be a surprise to the rest of the world’s leaders. Look, with the pandemic and the similar way it has been dealt with around the world, of course inflation is going to be similar…as the rise in oil prices driven by Saudi Arabia effects every country that buys oil and the supply chain bottlenecks also effect every country…so, again, we see the repubs lying their asses off again for political gain and to smear Biden since they have no truth to do it with…but the lapdog press just keeps reporting these repub talking points, giving them a free way to attack Biden and I am tired of it…geez…
