Well…you know I’ve railed about the oozing hypocrisy that coats everyone on the right and gets worse every time one of these morons opens his or her mouth…and now we have the hypocrite in chief, ole moscow mitch, crying his eyes out that corporations are being mean to repubs by opposing their attempts to suppress votes of black and brown people by speaking out against them…and the hypocrisy is not just oozing from ole mitch but is flooding out as fast as the pollution from the retention ponds in Florida. Let’s take a little walk back to 2011 when mitch was full of glee that the SC ruled that corporations had free speech rights to spend as much money as they want in an election in the Citizen’s United decision….and ole mitch couldn’t heap enough praise on it since he knew that most companies would give more to repubs than dems…but now? The hypocrite mitch is howling that companies should shut up and not interfere in the political process…but only if it goes against what the repubs want…and he has gone so far as saying that companies will “pay” if they keep it up…a not so subtle or legal threat that the tax breaks, etc. that the repubs have lavished on companies over the years might be at risk if they keep telling the truth about the repubs efforts to cheat in the 2022 elections. Suck it up, mitch…you can’t have it both ways…and companies are looking at the demographics of their customer base and it is more than just the old white people that the repubs serve….and you can bet they won’t want to alienate much more than 50% of their customers who are now black, brown, and lgbt people….just keep it up mitch…you’re speeding up the death of the repub party by this crap and that death can’t happen soon enough….

What a bunch of third graders…
Well…damn, today almost got away from me again and I’m here for a political one but later than I like…so, Georgia repubs acting like 3rd graders again? Yep…after they passed their Jim Crow voter suppression law that targeted the AA community and everyone else who won’t ever vote for repubs, Delta Airlines, whose HQ is in Atlanta, came out with a mild statement that basically said they don’t think taking away the vote from anyone is a good idea….and of course, the repubs acted like the third graders they are and passed a bill that would take away some tax breaks that they granted Delta a few years back…this would cost Delta around 50 million dollars a year and these assholes were preening around in front of the cameras with pride, just like a toddler who has learned how to go potty. Now, these pricks are all about the first amendment when it comes to their side, protecting the right to lie constantly and just make stuff up, but when a company (who has donated millions to repubs over the years) takes them to task, they just have to lash out since some of them know what they are doing is wrong and they can’t stand having their noses rubbed in it…and this won’t be the last time….the tide is building for a boycott of the entire economy of Georgia and I wonder what they will do when one of these companies will just say enough and will move out of their confederate state? Explain that to the people who will lose jobs, morons…geez…
This is what deregulation does…
Well…over the years, repub governors in red states have not seen a regulation they didn’t hate and have spent a lot of time and effort doing industry’s bidding in getting rid of just about any regulation that would protect the people of their states if it would cost business even one thin dime…and we can see the results in Texas where some chemical plant or other explodes almost every week and a cold spell costs consumers there thousands of dollars each with their deregulated electricity market. Just today, we see another effect of that blind allegiance to deregulation with the declaration of a state of emergency in Florida with a retention lake filled with radioactive waste starting to collapse as the owners of the company walked away and left the millions of gallons of waste behind as they filled their pockets with cash. Deregulation is what made it profitable for these thieves to walk away rich while the people who are going to lose their homes are left holding the bag…the company was not required to do any planning or to pay for mitigation of their waste since the repubs think it would be too much of a cost for business and they would leave if they had to do even a little to stop polluting the environment….so now we have a Love Canal sized contamination event going on and no one in Florida is doing a damn thing about it except declaring a state of emergency…no shelters, no nothing for the people who are losing their homes…in Florida’s business utopia, everyone is on their own and that’s just the way the repubs want it….geez….
Mitch is not too smart…
Well…with the revelation of Joe’s infrastructure plan that would spend another 3 trillion dollars to fix everything that the repubs have left go to rot to give tax breaks to the rich, it appears that old mitch mcconnell is not the master tactician that he has been said to be…just the other day, old mitch came out and gauranteed that not one repub would vote for the bill in the senate…I don’t think that is the smartest thing he could have done; giving away his tactics and freeing up Joe to just ignore everything that mitch has to say and taking his case directly to the American people….after all the bill is pretty popular with both dems and repubs that are not in congress and the thing they like the most is having the rich and corporations pay for it. Again, I have to ask..”who the hell are repubs representing anymore?” It sure isn’t their constituents in the polls that have been done since more than half of the repubs want this bill to go through…and who can be against fixing the crappy roads, bridges, and everythnig else? I know the repubs are against it because they have been told to be by their corporate masters but corporations don’t vote and the way the repubs are pissing them off with their voter suppression bills across the country, the dollars could be drying up just as they have started to in Georgia….and Texas is next. I don’t think the repubs have realized that times have changed and the dems have changed…we are not going to believe the stalling and lies anymore and we’ll go on without them if we have to…and it’s about damn time….
We knew this was coming with Matt Gaetz…
Well…doesn’t it seem that the more holier than though a repub is, there is something in their past that makes them such a damn hypocrite? The latest one of these assholes is Matt Gaetz, the mini trump who has attacked everyone in the repub party who is not a qanon spouting moron like he is…oh, and he is the only person in congress who voted against the new sex trafficking law that was passed last year…I wonder why that would be? I guess we now know since he is under investigation for having sex with a 17 year old girl and paying for her to travel across state lines for that purpose which is a federal crime…and a felony to boot. Oh, and Gaetz is good buddies with the Florida state treasurer who has just been charged with the same crime…cripes are all repubs sex criminals? You would think it after the litany of reports from everyone from Jerry Fallwell to trump himself being accused of attacking women against their will…and then ole Gaetz goes on fox news last night denying everything and trying to lie about the investigation, saying that he is being extorted by a former DOJ official for 25 million dollars and the whole investigation is fake. I can believe that this smarmy little shit did all of this since repubs these days have no morals at all and think laws only apply to the little people…and dems, but that he and his cronies can do whatever they want to whomever they want….remember that old Matt led the charge aginst Liz Cheney when she voted to impeach trump for all of his crimes, going so far as to go to Wyoming and trying to lobby state officals to censure her and remove here from her leadership post in the House. This is how self important this little asshole thinks he is…but now he doesn’t have the trump DOJ to protect him and he is in deep shit…and I am grinning about that….bye, bye matty…
Grifters gotta grift….
Well…I wonder why a “billionaire” would do this…just today, the idiot trump and his idiot wife have put up a website that is selling personalized greetings to his idiot followers….Now, does anyone want to bet on how long this will last? The laziest person on Earth is going to sit in a studio all day recording greetings to people he has the utmost contempt for? As always, it’s just another grift from the grifter in chief…how long do you think it will take until he records 3 or four greetings and then does what the Wayne and Garth commercial for grub hub did…just superimpose him saying a name inserted into the stock greeting? Or even getting a trump impersonator to do all of the work for him since he is so damn lazy? I guess he has to raise the money for defense of all of the lawsuits and criminal charges that are circling him right now…there are even two grand juries in Georgia looking into the moron’s attempts to strong arm the SOS into “finding” the votes to give the state to him…tick tock, idiot boy…your time is almost up….
Joe has a spine…
Well…as time goes on, I am getting happier with Joe and how he’s handling the presidency….after repairing the broken vaccine system that the idiot trump left him and getting almost 150 million shots in arms by today, and then going big on the covid recovery plan to the tune of 1.9 trillion dollars ( that I still haven’t seen a dime of by the way) and now starting to work on infrastructure that has been ignored since the moronic tax cutting that started with Reagan, Joe is showing a spine behind that smile…especially when it comes to trying to get the repubs to come along and help with getting this country going again….I wonder why they are still trying to play by the obstruction playbook when the entire country wants to get things going, including almost 60% of repubs? Just the other day, Joe made the point to them that they could do something good for the country by working with him to repair the crumbling roads, bridges and electrical grid…along with helping more people who are struggling with child care and the new normal of working from home that requires high speed internet everywhere across the country….or he will do it with just the dems so get off your hands and pitch in in that folksy way that you just can’t get mad at…although the repubs are doing their best to do just that, playing to their ever shrinking base. It’s pretty damn nice that we have a functioning government again with competent people running it….but the repubs will never admit that….they are just too stupid or cynical to get onboard…geez…
Boycott everything Georgia…
Well…if you thought that the repubs could get any worse with voter suppression, man, you were wrong. Just yesterday, the repub dominated legislature and the governor, Brian Kemp, signed into law a bill that would make the architects of the old Jim Crow voter suppression laws green with envy…after minorities and suburban whites came out and voted en masse to elect two dems to the senate powered by mail in voting, the repubs couldn’t have any of that so the bill signed into law does away with all of the legal methods that the dems used to make themselves heard…and these assholes even made it illegal for people to bring food and water to people who are waiting in line for hours to vote due to the previous voter suppression tactics that the repubs installed but the dems worked their butts off to still exercise their right to vote. Now imagine that…their fellow Georgian citizens working their butts off to figure out how to navigate the previous maze of voter suppression and cast their legal votes now have to stand in the hot sun without the relief that a bottle of water or a snack would bring just because these white racists don’t have anything to offer to any Georgian so they need to make sure they can’t vote or they will lose the white supremicist domination of the state. So now, we must boycott any business that is based in Georgia to make sure that these businesses, who invariably donate to repubs, pay for this support of the revival of Jim Crow that discriminates against those who don’t vote for repubs…I’m going to start with any product that is produced by the Coca Cola company and I will not buy another thing from Home
Depot until they put pressure on these repubs to repeal this un-American law….how can this be happening in 2021?
Doesn’t this look like a bribe?
Well…I guess those of us who live in the ethical real world thought this deal was fishy from the start…but repubs were perfectly fine with it…damn, buried the lede again…okay, let’s back up…you remember last year when moscow mitch mcconnell spearheaded the removal of sanctions from the Russian aluminum company Rusal in return for the bribe of Rusal building an aluminum plant in Kentucky? The owner of Rusal, Oleg Derispaska, was under sanctions since he is part of the Russian organized crime families that support Putin in everything he does, including throwing the 2016 election to the idiot trump. So now, Rusal has pulled out of the project and you can guess why…moscow mitch is no longer in charge of the senate and the idiot trump can no longer give Putin everything he wants so this bribe will no longer work…and the Russians have cut their losses in Kentucky and are going home with the sanctions still lifted which is what they wanted anyway….they really had no intention of ever investing 200 million dollars in Kentucky and they either duped ole Mitch or he was in on it and knew that dangling the jobs from this vaporware project would help him get re-elected even if not one of them ever materialized. Now this would be a good time to start an investigation of how this all came about to go along with the investigation of mitch’s wife who used her government position at the Commerce department to help her family shipping company in China…what a damn corrupt family….geez…
trump’s cronies are still sabotaging Biden…
Well…now I know why I haven’t received any of the latest relief checks and it is worse than anyone can imagine….when the relief package was passed back in early March, even two weeks before it was passed, the IRS asked the Social Security administration to provide them with information on those of us who live on SS and who don’t make enough to file a tax return…and the trump cronies who are still in charge for some reason decided to try to hurt Biden by ignoring the request from the IRS and not sending the requested info that the IRS would use to issue checks to those of us who most need these relief checks. After 5 weeks and under pressure from the media and, of course, only dems in congress, the SSA lied that they would provide the info yesterday but not a bit of it has shown up at the IRS….and the SSA commissioner, Andrew Saul, has stopped even showing up for work so the letter to him was probably not even read since no one can find this asshole. So now my question is “why haven’t this guy and his deputy who is his right hand man in this sabotage been fired?” At least I know why I haven’t gotten the 1400 dollar check, but what about the 600 dollar on that I had to file a tax return for? That still hasn’t shown up when turbotax said it would be here by the end of March since I filed in February…I guess there are still 5 days in March that it could get here but I’m not holding my breath…crap…
