Well…those asshole repubs really do want to kill children and leading the charge is the supreme asshole, Ted Cruz. Just today when someone posted a quote from Big Bird on twitter that he had gotten his covid vaccine and the innocuous comment that it would “give his body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy”…and I’m sure this is part of the rollout of the vaccine for children 5 years old and up that started this week and is trying to put the kids at ease about it…but ole ted had to weigh in with his corrosive assholeness when he replied: “government propaganda for your 5 year old”….now, why does he and all repubs want children to die? By tweeting this out to his followers, he is going to kill at least a few children whose parents are on the fence about the vaccine…I know that if I had young children we would have been first in line to get them vaccinated just like with the MMR vaccine and the polio vaccine…and the third shot of the covid vaccine and flu vaccine that I got a few weeks back…and I didn’t do it because I’m scared of covid…although I am…but I got them because it is my duty as a citizen to help protect everyone else and stop the spread of covid…if it protects me too, so much better…how do these assholes live with themselves?

A messaging problem…
Well…I think the dems brought a knife to a gun fight…when it comes to messaging all of the good things that they have done for the country and the economy, why aren’t they shouting it from the rooftops? When exit polling shows that people don’t credit the dems for anything, we know there is a messaging problem…when they don’t even recognize that the couple of grand in stimulus money came from dem legislation, there is a messaging problem….when they don’t recognize that the economy is booming, there is a messaging problem…especially when the same exit polling from around the country show that people think the economy stinks when unemployment is down by over 10% since Biden took office and over half a million jobs were added last month…to go with the 12 million added since Biden was elected…so what do we do about it? The repubs have fox news to counter all of the good things with lies and we need to make sure the truth is out there…every damn dem needs to get with the program and tout what has been accomplished and maybe even spend some money to take out ads across the media landscape to make sure people know what is going on and what we’ve done….things have changed and we need to change to cut through the fox bullshit….geez…
The CNN sory gets worse…
Well…if it wasn’t enough for CNN to go to blood red Texas and interview a couple who says “Biden inflation” is costing them an extra 38 dollars a month just for milk for their big family…something that can’t be true if you just look at the average and local cost graphs for milk for the country and Texas…but it popped into my head that a family with 9 kids under the age of 18 (some adopted) would be getting 2700 dollars a month from the “Biden” child tax credit of 300 dollars per child…and the CNN piece is just so obviously a hit piece that they never even checked whether or not the couples story was true or to press them if they are taking advantage of the child tax credit…so they whine about 38 bucks a month while getting 2700 and sit there with their “woe is me” story about inflation impacting their way of life and the reporter just sits there and nods his head…letting these repubs bash Biden with lies. This is the problem with media these days, they don’t report facts anymore but just try to gin up “crisis” after “crisis” and try to blame it all on Biden…no wonder his approval rating is down and no wonder CNN’s is too….geez…
Everything is a “crisis” according to CNN…
Well…I am getting really tired of the media, especially CNN, having to make everything into a crisis and the worst thing that has ever happened every damn day….their latest botch job focuses on inflation and the price of milk for some reason and the reporter went nuts when the people he was interviewing said that they couldn’t afford milk anymore because of Biden’s inflation…and then, like the hack he is, the reporter then goes to the grocery store with the people so he can make it sound even worse, look, yeah there is some inflation right now and the cost of gas is high…and pork chops…pork chops!! Have gone up in price by 50 cents a pound…why doesn’t Biden do something about that? I mean he should go to the processing plants and stand on the dis-assembly line and single handidly butcher enough hogs to make the price go down…and after that, he should go drill some oil wells to get the price of gas down….yep, that was sarcasm…there’s not a damn thing that can be done about any of this right now since he can’t get legislation through the repub blockade that would help…so, for once, why don’t we blame mitch mcconnel for his obstruction? Hey CNN…here’s a story for you…think you could do some real reporting for a change? Geez…
Elections…
Well…we had an election here in Muskegon and I’m pretty happy with the result…all three progressive candidates I voted for won their races so that was cool…we are going to have a new mayor replacing the repub one that has been in office for almost 10 years and I can’t be happier about that…but, I can’t believe that only a little over 4,000 people voted and the mayor’s race was won 2200 to 2100…and that is out of 38,000 people who live here…now, I know that the number of registered voters can be half of that or less but damn, only 4,000 voters? Now, that I don’t understand…I hit the record this year of being a voter for 50 years and have never missed an election that I was eligible for….and now with the permanent absentee ballots, it is just too easy to vote so I wonder why no one does? Oh, well…I did my part…..
Why hasn’t the idiot been prosecuted?
Well…I’ve had this thought kicking around in my head a while and thought I’d try to get it out of there…whey hasn’t idiot boy been prosecuted for his malfeasance during the start of the covid pandemic? With estimates saying that his failures cost an additional 130,000 American lives, he at least should be prosecuted for negligent homicide and be locked up for the rest of his life…especially since all of their decisions were politically motivated…especially at the start when it looked like the virus was only attacking blue states and minorities and they were perfectly okay with that. What needs to happen, and I am confused why it hasn’t, is a investigation of the pandemic response from start to finish to find out what really happened…and then the doj needs to get involved to prosecute anyone who made it worse as they just did in Brazil with the investigators recommending charges against Bolsinaro…and since he is considered a mini trump, trump should be charged as well….geez…
The only difference…
Well…I’ve been around on the Earth a long time and have lived with vaccinations the entire time…I even remember doctors coming into the schools and vaccinating everyone for smallpox…and everyone can look at their right or left shoulder and still see the scar from that vaccination…and there were no teachers or parents bitching that they wouldn’t let their kids get vaccinated….or letting their kids get sick and die just because they are morons. With every one of my kids and myself, any time a new vaccine was ready to be used, we all went to the doctor and got it…and I just got my third covid vaccine to go with my flu vaccine for this year….and there are about 8 vaccines that kids have to have before they can go to school and no one bitched about that but a small group of morons who would believe the anti vaxx lies that were spread by word of mouth…the only difference between then and now is fox “news” and the anti vaxx assholes there who spew lies and facebook that does the same…they are responsible for hundreds of thousands of new deaths here in the US since, with the delta wave, over 96% of the deaths are in the unvacinated….who to a one parrot the fox news talking points when they are asked why they didn’t get vaccinated. So fox is murdering people with their lies as is facebook and this is as good a reason as any to break both of them up and hold them responsible for it…how? I don’t know but there must be something that can be done to stop their corrosive effect on our society…geez…
The newest whine…
Well…damn, repub business owners are a bunch of whiners….first they whined about not being able to find workers and pressured repub controlled states to cut off extended unemployment benefits so people would be forced to take their crappy jobs again…and, when that didn’t work, and they saw that businesses that raised wages and treated their people better were flooded with applicants, they created a new whine saying that they can’t make a profit if they raise wages or benefits. Hey guys, do you think that this is your “market” that you revere so much at work? People just aren’t going to work for slave wages anymore…and if you can’t make a profit without them, do you think you should even be in business? Look, this is just like the whining they do whenever workers get a few crumbs out of their obscene profits…just like Papa John went on and on about when Obamacare was passed and he could have provided insurance for everyone in his company by just raising his pizza prices by 30 cents each…and he was doing all this whining as he was building a 14 million dollar house…so he could have afforded to absorb the 30 cents per pizza but no, these entitled assholes just have to play the victim all the time and blame someone other than themselves….what a bunch of snowflakes…geez…
Shouldn’t they be held responsible?
Well…it’s pushing two in the aft and I still haven’t come up with a topic that I want to talk about…nope that’s not true…I have been reading a series done by Kos over at Dailykos that highlights how delusional some of the vaccine resistant folks are as they slide down into severe sickness and death…and one of the things that is not reported in the news much is how painful and awful a severe case of covid is and how it destroys these families who have be led into not taking the vaccine by fox and the rest of the right wing assholes….and the question came to me is “shouldn’t they be held accountable?” Just Tuesday, it was estimated that the idiot trump’s bungling of the response to the pandemic cost from 130,000 to 140,000 lives of our fellow Americans…shouldn’t he be held accountable for that? Families across this country are being destroyed by the right wing propaganda that oozes out of the right every damn day and I really can’t understand what the gain is for fox and the rest of them…I mean there has been hundreds of thousands of repubs who have dies and will never vote for them again and I can’t understand what the benefit is to them….or is it that they are just a bunch of psychopaths that get their jollies out of watching people suffer? Whatever it is, it is one of the most sick things I have ever seen…geez…
Rich whiners….
Well…after the details started to come out on how the new infrastructure and BBB bills are going to be paid for by making the rich and corporations pay their fair share, you could predict that the rich would come out and start whining about how much the tax increase is going to cost them…with the first whiner out of the box being Elon Musk who said that he would owe almost 10 billion dollars a year…and went on and on how it isn’t fair blah, blah, blah…I guess he didn’t think anyone would report that with the increase in the price of Tesla and spaceX stock that happened Monday, he made 36 billion dollars in one frickin day…yep, that’s billion with a B and this asshole is whining he may have to pay 10 billion in taxes for a year? He has more money reserves than most small countries and he still bitches about having to pay taxes…Elon, remember what this country did for you to make you so damn rich…don’t you think is would be fair that you pay some taxes to help pay for the infrastructure that the US government built for you? And pay some taxes for the contracts they have given SpaceX that essentially built your company? I have had enough of the rich just whining when they don’t get everything they want….and it is happening more and more and more…what the hell do they have to bitch about? geez….
