Let’s talk about Texas…

Well…I know I talked a bit about the new Texas abortion elimination laws yesterday but I didn’t touch on the part that makes vigilantes of every citizen of Texas and allows them to sue anyone taking part in the abortion for 10,000 dollars…even a taxi driver that can’t know what the women in his or her cab is going to do…or even women that talks to their friends about having an abortion….now the right wing Taliban on the court have said that it’s all peachy keen with them to have the law go into effect right now since it is a “new and very complex law” and would take too long to study it…and this has never happened in the history of the court, they usually put it on hold until they have time to study it and judge it’s constitutionality but these 5 morons said hey, we don’t care if it’s unconstitutional…lets just let Texas try this out for a while…who cares if it infringes on the 1st amendment and many others…it’s just too complex for us to figure out. So this is why the filibuster has to go right now and we need to expand the court by at least 4 justices and Biden can pick real ones that will follow the law and the SC would no longer be the right wing heaven the repubs just love….geez…

Hypocrisy on steroids…

Well…damn, I never thought the right wingers could get worse but then two things happened that revealed them to have hypocrisy on steroids. With the passing of Texas’s new law outlawing all abortions after 6 weeks and the SC choosing to not intervene essentially saying that the state now owns women’s bodies and can control them any way they want…and the right wing protests against vaccine mandates that have appropriated the women’s rights slogan of “my body, my choice”….I can feel the tsunami of hypocrisy from here…I am confused about all of this…no, I guess I’m not…it’s the right wing evangelicals who have turned Texas into Afghanistan after the Taliban took over….and it is eerie how much the proclamations of the Taliban about controlling women and taking away their rights reads just like the Texas law banning abortion…I guess religious fanaticism is the same no matter what religion is doing it….and it is sick that in 2021 women citizens can have their rights taken away from them by a tiny minority of religious zealots who vote every time while our side has to have to perfect candidate of we sit elections out…that is what gave the American Taliban the state of Texas and the SC that thinks it’s perfectly fine for women to have less rights than the rest of us….geez…

More calls for violence…

Well…the repub party has turned into a thug mob whose only purpose is to promote violence and lies. In just the past couple of days, we have the repub county executive candidate from Pennsylvania saying the he will take “20 strong men” and go to any school board that mandates masks to protect children and forcibly remove them if they won’t resign…oh, and this guys name is Steve Lynch and I have a little info for him….doing what he says he is going to do would involve multiple felonies and would open him up to federal charges for interfering with an elected official along with civil suits from those he tried to intimidate…so this blowhard would spend the rest of his life in jail and would be broke if he ever got out…but this leads right into the other repub insurrectionist, Madison Cawthorn who persists in calling the criminals who attacked the capitol on Jan 6 “political prisoners” and told a group of his thug supporters that he is working on “busting out” these criminals and that if they are not released “blood will flow” and his supporters cheered at the threat of violence…I have had enough of these thugs lying about January 6th and the “stolen” election….and the overt threats of violence should land them in jail or at least result in sanctions from repub “leadership”…but it won’t and that’s the problem…just like the noisemakers out here, there are no consequences to their criminal actions so they just keep escalating with people ending up dead….and Jan 6th will happen again….geez…

These people will believe anything…

Well…not sure if you’ve been following the latest bit of idiocy that is going on with the right wing anti vaxxers but it is head shakingly stupid and makes me believe these idiots will believe anything….over the past couple of weeks there have been multiple stories about people buying and ingesting worm medicine that is made for horses and cows….yep, they won’t get the vaccine because they “don’t know what’s in it” but they will take a medicine made for horses that is toxic to the body and can destroy your intestines and make you even more stupid just because some guy on facbook says his brother in law said it works…and now there are thousands of calls to poison control hotlines from people who get sick from eating this stuff…again, that is made for killing worms in horses….not viruses in people. These people are so damn stupid and I think facebook has a responsibility to remove the thousands of posts and pages that push this stuff on these ignorant morons…but maybe this will clean up the gene pool some….geez…

Joe biden woke up this morning…repubs think he should resign for it..

Well…I am just amazed at what the repubs think Joe Biden should resign for….no, not really…those hypicritic idiots are all over the news baying about Afghanistan and how screwed up the withdrawal is so Biden should resign…funny, they never mentioned resigning for the previous guy when he committed treason against the US, or extorted an ally to fake some dirt on Joe…or the fact that over 100,00 people have already been evacuated and we are getting down to the last of them a week before the deadline….if idiot boy had done that Hannity and the rest of them would be proposing he get a Nobel peace prize. Look, these morons are going to keep calling for Joe’s resignation if he wakes up in the morning or has lunch…and the news has to treat it that way….as the ridiculous bullshit that it is….geez….

Eric Prince is still a war criminal…

Well…it appears that Eric Prince has a new scam he’s running out of Qatar…he’s renting planes and charging people 7400 dollars to get them out Afghanistan…you can guess that whenever there is suffering in the world, ole Eric will be there trying to make money from it…oh, and let’s not forget what his Blackwater thugs did in Iraq when they murdered more than 20 Iraqis just because they were scared…and that makes ole Eric a war criminal…I wonder who is responsible for him even being able to use the US controlled airport there? This is just bullshit that he is not in jail somewhere….he has been connected to so many sketchy things including damn near every scandal in the idiot trump years that you know he moved to Qatar just to avoid prosecution since they have no extradition treaty with the US….I think…another one of those born rich assholes who think they can do whatever they want and the law doesn’t apply to them….geez…

The anti vaxxers could cost me 5 grand…

Well….when I was on the bike this morning, a thought hit me that really, really pissed me off…with the anti vaxxers getting sick and spreading delta everywhere, these assholes could cost me 5 grand if I get sick and have to go to the hospital…see, even with my Medicare advantage plan, I am on the hook for 5 grand of co-pays if I end up in the hospital and that is pretty damn personal for me…and for the retirees who are still on regular Medicare, the plan only pays 80% of the bill and the patient is on the hook for the rest…and you know that weeks in the hospital with constant care is not  going to be cheap…it could run up to half a million bucks and that would leave the patient with a bill of 100K….and I don’t know of many retirees who could foot that bill with leaving them completely broke…so here’s another reason to hate these selfish assholes who are solely responsible for the trouble this country is in…and who are responsible for me and many others masking up again when we did everything right by getting vaccinated to help our country…I have had enough and have no sympathy for those who chose to not get vaccinated and who are killing our healthcare workers…shame on them….geez…

Just remember this…

Well…with all of the attacks on Biden about his handling of the exit from Afghanistan and the Taliban taking over…again…just remember one thing, the Taliban offered to surrender and give up all of their weapons in 2001…but ole GW and his war mongering neocons wouldn’t accept since their biggest donors needed the war to go on for the purpose of profit and to prove they were the baddest army on the planet…so, 20 years of death and destruction and 2 trillion dollars later, the idiots who gave us that war are now criticizing Biden for ending it? These chickenhawks should just shut the hell up and go away, they have been wrong on every point starting with the WMD’s in Iraq and could have gotten us out of Afghanistan 20 years ago…and the media needs to stop feeding the right wing talking points to the rest of the world…just a sordid bunch of lies to sell papers and to try to weaken Biden so they can have a “horserace” in 2024….geez…

This is child abuse…

Well…someone please tell me how what the repub governors are doing to endanger children is not child abuse? Sending them back to school with no protection at all and essentially forcing them to expose themselves to a deadly virus is the essence of child abuse…how must these kids feel when the are old enough to understand how bad this virus is or have had a family member die from covid? And the people who are supposed to protect them show them they don’t care at all…I’m amazed that most of them don’t have symptoms of PTSD and no kid should have to deal with that…but the repubs across the country are letting ideology rule and making nice with the 22% of the country who are the freaking nuts is the new order for them….in every damn district that opened with no mask mandate in place, almost all of them have closed with so many kids and teachers sick that they can’t hold classes….and this only took a week of holding these superspreader classes….in any other time, every damn one of these asses would have killed their political careers by killing children…but not now…for the modern repubs it is a badge of honor, and that makes me sick…I hate them all….

The “fraudit” ends…

Well…just got done with the lawn and thought I’d talk a little about the “fraudit” that has been going on in Arizona for almost 6 months now….I guess the auditors are going to release a report Monday that says that they found mountains of evidence that idiot boy won Arizona even though there is no such evidence…and the repub SOS and repub county election head are both out with statements warning the media not to run with the report since it is all going to be lies and conspiracy theories and there is no voter fraud for them to find…and just the past couple of days courts have ruled that even though the “cyber ninjas”, the company that is handling the “audit” is a private company, they have to turn over all of the info about their processes and everything else and that the senate has to turn over all of the correspondence they had when hiring that unqualified company in the first place….so the crap is going to hit the fan Monday and will probably determine whether or not Michigan is going to go through that crap, too…sure hope not….geez…
