Well…it looks the idiot trump and his minions got their way in removing Liz Cheney from her leadership post in the House…but, I think their high fives are going to be very, very short lived…do they even remember who her father is? Yeah, that Dick Cheney…the one who has overthrown governments, approved torture, and lied us into the Iraq war…and that was just on a Tuesday…the Dick Cheney who is still plugged into the old boy repub networks that control the money going into the party…do they really think Dick got the nickname Darth Vader by being a Star Wars fan? Cheney is the guy who works behind the scenes to get what he wants…and you never see him coming as he shivs you in the back…does anyone think that the idiot trump or Kevin McCarthy can go up against him? When he takes slights of his family just like an Italian mob boss does? We saw some of his behind the scenes machinations when he got over 100 former state and defense department heads to put out a letter warning trump about using the military to overthrow the election…and it is well known that he thinks trump is just a washed up game show host who never should have been president….and this diss on his daughter is going to be the last straw and he will use his power to torment trump for a while as he goes after McCarthy too…and he is going to end any possibility of McCarthy getting what he wants, and that is to be speaker of the house. Now, I hate Dick Cheney with a burning passion for what he did to harm the US while he was VP, but if his Vaderishness can be turned on idiot boy, I’ll watch that…

Traitors…
Well…why the hell are Kristin Sinema and Joe Manchin even called democrats? With the debate on federal protection for voting rights being debated in the senate today, both of these dems in name only are going along with ole mitch’s lies about it..agreeing that the bill would be a “power grab” by the federal government since elections are normally run by the states…how damn blind can these two be? Do they remember the voting rights act? Where any changes to election law in states who had constantly tried to keep minorities from voting had to be approved by the courts? Until the Roberts’ court and Roberts lied his ass off saying that racism in voting didn’t exist anymore and gutted the VRA, all of the states that now are passing hundreds of voting restrictions had to have the changes approved by the courts and never would have gotten one of their changes approved since they are just so obviously aimed at making sure that minority voters can’t vote that no court would approve them. And now we have Sinema and Manchin feigning concern that this really might be a federal takeover when this bill is just a response to all of the repub voter suppression that have happened in the states they control. If they are so damn dumb that they can’t see that McConnell is playing them, they sure don’t deserve to be in the senate and have anyone listen to them….it’s bullshit they think this way and I don’t get why they trust anything mcconnell says…no one should…geez…
They’re even lying to themselves now…
Well…I really don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to know how sucky the population in general thinks your leader is. With the trump cult still in full swing, now the repub house and senate election committees are withholding polling information from the other repubs as they meet to try to work out a strategy to take the house and senate next year…and the reason is that the numbers are just so bad for idiot boy trump that he is going to cost them winnable seats if he pops his ugly head out of Florida and tries out his schtick again…especially after most of the country thinks he is responsible for the attack on the capital. This brings up a question…why the hell is anyone scared of idiot boy if only a small fraction of the country even cares if they ever hear from him again? Or is the support because all of the damn repubs have the same racist views and they still like how he is so good at hating people and has liberated them from having to hide their hate? Whatever it is, there are people in the repub party (not many of them) who are becoming concerned that Biden’s great numbers on his handling of basically everything may cost them the chance to win either the house or senate…and their ever loonier candidates are appealing to an ever smaller base that works in primaries but won’t in the general election…gee, we can only hope…
There is no “labor shortage”
Well…damn, my stomach is feeling really queasy right now and I’m not sure why…yeah, I know I had a couple of cocktails last night, but it shouldn’t be this bad…but, that’s not what this is about…I’m sure you’ve heard the whining talking points by all the repub business owners that say that there is a “labor shortage” and that they can’t find workers since the workers can make more money with the extra UI benefits than they can working….god, don’t you just hate these people? With these assholes it’s always the workers fault for everything…I wonder if any of them have looked in the mirror to see themselves and the bullshit they’re spouting? Look, if a worker can make more money on UI than they can working for these cheapskates, isn’t it smart to not work for them? Raising the pay to lure workers to their businesses is never, ever considered since they think workers are overpaid if they make enough to pay their bills and feed their children…and that is one of the biggest markers of a “labor shortage”…that owners have to raise pay to get workers to take their jobs and they will after that happens…but, since employers would rather whine than pay their workers what they are worth, there is no labor shortage…and every economist who is not a repub hack agrees there is no shortage and workers are not just sitting on their couches eating bon bons…there are reasons that workers are not taking these crappy paying jobs just to be mistreated again…and you can see that mistreatment by how these repub employers are lying about a labor shortage…they just don’t want to pay what their workers are worth and that is their choice…as it is worker’s choice to not work for them…
This is kind of funny..
Well…I guess you have to hand it to the lawyers who are defending some of the traitors who attacked the capital on January 6th…the latest one made me laugh a little since it is something I have commented on quite a few times in the past and it is kind of satisfying to have my thoughts verified…at least a little. Just the other day, one of the lawyers presented the idea that his client was not guilty since he was forced to watch fox news for 6 months straight and even coined a new term for the malady…”foxitus and foxmania” that resulted from being fed a steady diet of lies by both fox and the idiot trump…and started to believe what he was being fed by both…and even one pundit even termed it “not guilty by reason of sean hannity” as a cute take off on insanity that this traitor is trying to plead. Now, I’ve talked about the propaganda that spews daily from fox and other right wing “news” services, and have likened them to Tass and Pravda in the old Soviet Union who did exactly the same thing as they brainwashed their people with lies about the US and the world…the only thing that penetrated this dome of lies was the work of Radio Free Europe to try to send the truth to the people under Soviet domination…but the key difference here is the people behind the Iron Curtain wanted the truth and sought it out anywhere they could find it…unlike fox news viewers who are just perfectly happy to be lied to everyday and accept these lies as the unvarnished truth that can’t be penetrated by a “radio free America” which is the rest of traditional media. I am curious to see if and when this gambit will be laughed out of a courtroom…which it will…but there may be a civil suit against fox for the lies that they still spew that I would pop popcorn and sit down and watch….cripes…
What the hell is wrong with repubs?
Well….was just sitting here thinking about the weird crap going on with the repubs these days and can’t figure out a few things…first, why the hell are they so scared of the idiot in chief who lost the last election in a landslide? Every damn one of them but Liz Cheney and ole Mitt are still parroting his lie that the election was stolen and the only reason for that has to be fear of the idiot boy and his crazy assed followers…and this rot goes from top to bottom to the point that they are trying to throw Cheney out for saying out loud that Biden won fair and square…now that is just wrong to have an entire party based upon lying about damn near everything but that is where we are now and who knows how to fix it? The only thing I can think of is to take the few sane repubs out there and turn them into independents to keep the repubs from winning the house and senate in 22. That party is just performative right now, too, they have nothing to give to the American people at all but voter suppression and death and sucking up to the idiot, as evidenced by the moron governor of Florida, DeSantis, signing a voter suppression bill this morning but only allowing fox news to cover it so the idiot trump would be sure to see that his lips are firmly attached to his white pimply ass….what the hell are wrong with these people? I can only shake my head….geez…
The idiot doesn’t deserve any credit…
Well…with all of the lies the repubs are telling to try to give the idiot trump credit for “operation warp speed” being responsible for the vaccines that are available for covid, let’s take a look at the reality. The timeline for development of the vaccines starts to put the picture together that the repubs really are lying about the whole thing…the vaccines from both Pfizer and Moderna were in the works and being tested three months before warp speed was even announced…and that means that not one dime of government money went into that development, contrary to the story that the repubs trying to sell…and why they are doing it, who knows? To made idiot boy feel better? So the two most widely used vaccines had not one damn thing to do with trump or his stupid minions…but, what about the companies that did take the warp speed cash? The two biggest recipients of all that cash, Sanofi-GlaxoSmithKline and Novavax have taken billions and have not produced one dose of a viable vaccine…gee, could this just be another grift by cronies of trump? It sure looks that way since, as time goes by, the need for any vaccine from either company becomes less and less with the other four big companies having made more than a billion doses so far. So, whenever you hear that idiot boy deserves credit for anything to do with the vaccines, remember that he had not one damn thing to do with any of it…and I wouldn’t be surprised that some of that grifted cash found it’s way back into his pocket…geez…
They have nothing but hate…
Well…after getting the yard work done this morning, I have been reading a bunch of news as I finish off my last cup of coffee and one thing strikes me after that reading…the repub party has nothing left but hate to offer anyone…and that revelation was spurred by an article where an army of the asshole tucker’s minions were standing outside a damn middle school in California screaming at the kids and their parents for wearing masks to keep them safe from transmission of the virus…I mean, how would you feel if your kid was walking to school and a bunch of crazy assed adults started getting right into their faces…trying to use fear and hate just to intimidate them…and what kind of an adult would do that to other people’s kids? This is the modern repub party folks…when was the last time you read anything positive that the repubs are doing for you and me? Yeah, me either…all there is now is hate and trying to make the “libs” uncomfortable by passing laws targeting trans kids, by restriciting the votes of people of color, and now passing laws that would allow for voter intimidation at polling places with the same angry mob that was at that middle school this morning….they have nothing but hate…and that isn’t good for our country…
No herd immunity thanks to the repubs…
Well…this is a little disturbing…news reports all over the internet today are giving the US the bad news that, because of the idiot repubs not getting vaccinated, the holy grail of herd immunity that would allow us get our society back to normal is just not going to happen if 30+ percent of the population refuses to get vaccinated…and that means that this damn virus and it’s variants and even new variants will be with us for “a generation” and that means that the disruption to our lives will due to spikes in infections and mutations that are sure to come is going to become permanent, along with the slow, painful deaths that come from it….and this will mean yearly vaccinations for those of us who don’t have their heads up their asses and rolling restrictions that will be re-applied whenever a new variant comes along….and all because these morons won’t get a tiny little jab in the arm. We all know that repubs are the most selfish people on the planet, but this is beyond the pale…putting people at risk of death or serious illness just because idiots like tucker and the rest of fox news are still telling them everything is about “freedumb” and they are lapping it up like the dogs they are. At least some companies have had enough of this bullshit and are requiring their employees to be vaccinated or they are out of a job…and no stupid excuse is going to work…either get the jab or leave….I wonder how the repubs will react to this? Not well, I’ll bet…
Grasping at straws in Arizona…
Well…to see just how far the repub party has fallen, you just have to look at the debacle going on in Arizona where they brought in a firm to “recount” the votes in just one county…and guess why it’s just that county? Yep, because Joe won it and those votes put him over the top in Arizona…and the company the repubs brought in has never had anything to do with elections before and it’s run by a Qanon spouter who truly believes that trump won the election…so guess how it’s going to come out? Look, if I were one of the people in that county whose votes are being questioned and the repubs are trying so hard to discard, I would be talking to a lawyer right now to sue these assholes….especially since the re counters don’t have a clue what they are doing and ballot experts are certain they are ruining them as they use UV light and are also using blue pens that are the same color as the ones used to mark the ballots in the election…gee…I wonder why they would want to use the same color pens? Yep, I’ll bet these morons are changing the ballots as they “count” them…..and these “counters” are looking at the thickness of the ballots and whether or not they have been folded….not that either has anything to do with the election but lying is all the repubs do these days and you can just about guarantee that this “count” is going to show trump as the winner…lying bastards…
