3 million bucks for a lie…

Well…I’m not sure if you’ve been following the “audit” that is going on with the 2021 votes in Arizona, but the latest news should really, really piss off the taxpayers there…the SOS there has just revealed the every voting machine, and every tabulating machine that has been handled by the frauds who are trying to find votes for trump and overturn the certified results of the election are going to have to be replaced since the security of the machines have been ignored and any random person could have gotten access to them and rigged them to not reflect the real totals of the votes…something that the repubs doing the counts can’t be trusted to not do. So, for one (democratic) county in Arizona, the taxpayers are going to be out over 3 million dollars based on the big lie that there  was voter fraud in the election…and now the same thing is happening in Pennsylvania and other repub states across the country…I think they may try it here in Michigan but that might have been stopped by the repub senate report out last week that there was no voter fraud here in Michigan. It is just bullshit that taxpayers have to foot the bill for repubs delusional conspiracy theories…but, I can write the ads for dems about this crap….and I hope dems across the country use this waste of money to hammer the repubs in 2022…geez…

190 traitors…

Well…I wonder how many repubs in the House were actually involved with carrying out the attack on January 6th? With their vote against the January 6th commission this week, it would appear that there are 190 traitors in the house…that’s how many voted against the investigation with the disingenuous explanation that the attackers were just “tourists” that didn’t do anything wrong so the attack doesn’t need to be investigated…now, if the 500 people that have been charged in the plot didn’t do anything wrong, how have they been charged with multiple crimes? Even the idiot trump is getting into the act calling for the officer who shot and killed one of the attackers to be “lynched” at one of his fascist rallies last weekend….if I were any of these repubs, I’d be shaking a little about what is going to be found…at the very least many of them were involved in supporting the attackers through the big lie and many still spout that lie every day…get over it morons, trump lost…and you are going to when the truth comes out….

This is scary…

Well…just read a pretty scary article about the drought that has been widespread across the west where the rivers are essentially drying up with the lack of snow and rainfall and if conditions stay this way for much longer, places that depend on these rivers like Phoenix will become unlivable…and this is not something that is going to happen in the far future, but in the next decade or so. But that’s not the scary part, since droughts usually end at some point, water conservation and changes in lifestyle can get you through until the rains and snow come back….but this new study paints a much more dire picture, that climate change is causing the aridification of most of the west and the deserts that were once confined to the southwest are going to spread north to Colorado and that these changes are going to be permanent, making much of the west uninhabitable at the population density it now supports. and we have one party in this country that doesn’t even believe that any of this is happening, even though they can readily see that the Colorado river behind the Hoover dam is down almost 150 feet and towns that were flooded when the lake was filled are re-appearing since the water is so low. Soon, there won’t even be enough water to generate electricity from the dam and that will impact Las Vegas…but, they still do nothing…even repub reps from the states that are drying out still don’t care and are still blocking doing anything about it….one study says that with new information and data on the amount of heating it may already be too late to fix it even if we stop burning fossil fuels right now….but still the repubs will do nothing as the country burns…

Boy, the trumps are stupid…

Well…with the indictment of the trump organization and of the head guy Weisselberg for tax evasion on millions of dollars of cars, apartments, private schools, and lots of other things, you would think that the people who own the organization would have lawyers telling them to shut the hell up and not make it worse…but not with the whole family of idiots who are the trumps…every damn one of them has been all over tv saying that giving all this stuff to an employee for free is just how it’s done and it’s no big deal the company or Weissleberg didn’t pay taxes on this compensation….actually admitting that yep, they did break the law…even the idiot trump tried to belittle the charges by admitting that what the indictment says is true by saying it was just a car, who pays taxes on cars? Then the person who “knows more about taxes than anyone in the world” pouts and asks at his fascist rally Friday..”does anyone know about taxes?”  These are some seriously stupid people…basically admitting they broke the law but they truly think this is just a PR problem, that if they try to minimize the offenses, which are felonies by the way, they will again get off with just a few fines and they can buy their way out like they have for their whole lives….so, keep it up morons, keep admitting to breaking the law on tv and when it’s your time to be charged, these interviews will be admitted as evidence that you knew what was going on and then when you lie to the prosecutors, they can add perjury to the pile of charges that are coming…geez…what a bunch of dopes….

I hope Cy Vance knows what he’s doing…

Well…there is news leaking out of Cy Vance’s office as we wait for charges to be filed in the case against the trump organization and it doesn’t sound good for those of us who want these criminals behind bars the rest of their lives…the first charges are scheduled to be revealed tomorrow and they appear to be minor at the very least having to do with free cars and other two bit stuff that will probably not mean any jail time for anyone…and Vance has already said earlier this week that trump is not going to be charged but that the investigation is “ongoing”… but they’ve had trump’s taxes for 4 months now an that is the best they can find?  I sure hope this is not just another time where trump and his cronies break the law and there is no consequences other than fines…what happened to the money laundering that was run through cyprus? Or the estate in Florida he made 60 million dollars on when he sold it to a Russian oligarch after owning it for two years?  Or the election tampering he did in Georgia? If trump gets off from all of this, I’ll lose all faith I have in the justice system of this country…and that is not much….geez….

So, rich people can rent South Dakota’s national guard now?

Well…with all of the shrill yelping from the right about the “crisis” at our southern border, grandstanding asshole Greg Abbott of Texas is enlisting governors of other far right states to help him do something at the border…not sure what that is but he sure wants to do something and he is inviting the idiot trump to his state tomorrow to “tour” the border and to show the world the “crisis” that doesn’t exist. One of the governors he has “partnered” with, Kristi Noem of South Dakota, is even sending a contingent of their National Guard to the Texas border and she thought it would be cute to say that “private donations” are funding the deployment so people of the state wouldn’t be pissed…but that brings up an interesting question: So, can rich people now rent their national guard? I wonder who would be giving the orders for what the mission is? So now South Dakota is just like Somalia where militias sell their services to the highest bidder? I wonder what else they could rent them for? To put down a union organizing drive? To keep “those people” out of the rich people’s neighborhood? To annex land from another state to make a rich person’s ranch bigger? Noem is just another trumpist idiot who doesn’t understand how government works and will break the law if it doesn’t suit her….and, I’m sure the US military is not going to sit still for her selling the services of their soldiers to the highest bidder or for political reasons….if any of these soldiers deploy, I wonder who is going to face a court martial for ordering it? I just can’t believe the people of South Dakota are so stupid that they would let their friends and neighbors in the Guard be used like this…but it is a blood red state so I guess it’s possible…geez…

Boycott Toyota….

Well…damn just got back from riding back on another flat and I am not in a good mood….and that gets me to this…it was revealed yesterday that Toyota gave and is stll giving money to 37 of the repub insurrectionists who voted to destroy our democracy and overturn the results of the 2020 election…and when asked about it, they doubled down with this statement: “we do not believe it is appropriate to judge members of congress solely on their votes on the electoral certification” yep, they think it’s perfectly fine that these assholes tried to overturn the fair election…you know that could lead to them this…”we don’t believe it’s appropriate to judge murderers solely on their murder…” you get the point, they are justifying supporting these folks because, other than overthrowing the government, they are very fine people….now, we should expect this from a company with a huge plant in Kentucky and the fact that the American managers are all right wing assholes….but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t boycott these asses and buy other cars…after all, there are many companies that don’t give money to insurrectionists and build perfectly fine cars here in the US….from what I’ve seen on the internet today, there is  a firestorm building against these tone deaf assholes…nothing more than they deserve….geez…

Charges are going to be filed against the trump org next week…

Well….yeah, don’t get your hopes up with this news…it was announced Thursday that charges will probably be filed against the trump org next week…but the announcement didn’t say who will be indicted so that is something to look forward to….but, again, trump gets away with all of these crimes throughout his entire life so I don’t have a lot of hope that he will be included in the indictments….but, the grand jury felt that there was enough evidence of crimes being committed to approve charges and indictments…but the sparse details that have hit the news are a little disappointing in that they only deal with employees getting compensation that was not included in anyone’s taxes as income…now, that still is felony tax fraud but with all of the real estate and tax fraud that trump and his idiot kids have been doing forever, these charges don’t seem that serious…and they sure wouldn’t justify idiot boy fighting to keep his financial information secret all the way to the supreme court. I guess we just have to hope that Cy Vance is doing his job but has kept the main charges secret until they are announced….or he is just going to charge some of the small fish to get them to flip on trump…we can hope…

DOJ is suing Georgia…

Well…after Georgia passed a voter suppression law aimed at keeping dem voters from being able to vote that included making it a crime to give food and water to people standing in line to vote, there have been various lawsuits from voter protection organizations, but today, the big guns came out when the DOJ also filed suit against Georgia to get the law nullified. This law and over 250 others passed by repubs across the country are blatantly aimed at dems and the groups that normally support them and are based on the “big lie” of voter fraud that the idiot and his minions continue to spout and have no basis in fact at all…as evidenced by the report put out by the repub controlled Michigan senate that blew holes in the lies that are driving fake “recounts” in Arizona and stated bluntly that there was no fraud at all in Michigan and that people need to stop believing the lies that trump is spewing. It is about time that the DOJ got started going after these bigoted laws and start protecting the sacred right to vote…and now they need to go after every damn one of the over 250 laws that these cheaters have passed…and right now…

This is unexpected….

Well…there was a bombshell report issued by the repubs here in Michigan about their investigation into voter fraud that was alleged during the 2020 election…can you guess what it said? Nope, not that there was any fraud…it came out and bluntly said there was no fraud and the counts across Michigan were accurate…but the kicker was that it addressed all of the conspiracy theories that the idiot trump was pushing and called them what they were….lies…and that made my jaw drop…from a repub? And every repub that was on the committee agreed with the findings and actually said it out loud…they didn’t bury the report or denigrate the people on the committee…they just said plainly….no voter fraud. And the lead of the committee even said that people should wise up and stop believing the lies that are still being pushed by repubs across the country and that there is no need for an “audit” here…I can’t remember being so surprised by anything in politics in quite a while…oh, and he said that Joe Biden won Michigan fair and square…and that just blew my mind, too….but, my question now is why are they now passing all these laws here that makes it harder to vote if the current ones led to a “free and fair” election? Yeah…they are still hypocrites in my book….
