Well….after the passage of the wildly popular covid relief bill yesterday, without one repub vote in either the House or Senate, we need to make sure that the repubs don’t use the bill to lie to the American people…after all, they did nothing to pass it or to give input on what should be in it other than say that tax cuts for the rich should have been included. Just yesterday, the bullshit started with a repub senator touting the help the bill would give to small businesses when he voted no on the bill and he made it look like he was part of the approval and was taking credit for it…just another lie that flows from the mouths of repubs as easily as they breathe. So far, the rest of the repubs have been uncharacteristically silent on the bill since even they can see that going against the most popular bill in 40 years is not the smartest thing to do but the flip side of that is that our side needs to shout it that the repubs didn’t have anything do with by their own choice, they were not shut out of the negotiations by the bad old dems, they chose bad faith amendments that would gut the bill and prevent the American people from getting the help they need to survive this pandemic…again I ask this question: with more than 70% support of the bill, who are the repubs representing? This bill is the most progressive one in my lifetime and really does help most of the American people and make their lives easier and is the difference between us and the repubs…all they do is hurt people and try to restrict participation by voter suppression and the hate they level on anyone who is not a white christian is the purpose of their party…I hope Americans understand that there is only one party that cares about them…and it is not the repubs…

Do nothing whiners…
Well…let’s just stop right now trying to equate the two political parties in this country…I’ve had enough of bothsiderism that has been the bane of our exisitence for many, many years and let’s take a look at what each party is doing right now….on the dem side, they are poised to pass one of the greatest pieces of legislation to benefit the majority of Americans that includes direct payments to 80% of the people, tax credits for children,support for state and local governments that are underwater from the pandemic and a myriad of other ways to support our economy as we dig our way out of this mess…on the repub side we only see bitching and complaining and Dr. Suess…no policy suggestions other than tax cuts for the rich and voter suppression…all ways to make this country worse, not better as the dems are trying mightily to do. On the dem side, they are working on a labor bill that would get rid of the right to work laws whose only purpose was to kill unions, and would make it easier to form a union and restrict what employers can do to hurt their workers that want a union. On the repub side…I got nothin…they don’t give a damn about workers or any other Americans so it’s just all bullshit all the time…so don’t tell me the parties are the same, ever again…geez…
It’s always been a grift…
Well…damn, I have been laughing my butt off the past couple of days with what has been going on with the repubs and their war with the idiot trump…a a steady stream of those morons have been heading to the tacky HQ in Florida and kissing idiot boy’s butt for some reason when they could have kicked him to the curb after he instigated the attack on the capitol and was impeached for it…but no, for some damn unfathomable reason almost every one of the repubs is cowering from idiot boy and won’t say a word against him…and what is their reward for embarassing themselves to the world? Just the other day the grifter in chief sent a cease and disist letter to all of the repub organizations trying to raise money for other candidates and told them to stop using his name and likeness on their fundraising letters and e-mails…and the last bit of evidence that politics to idiot boy is just a grift, he then sent out a letter of his own to his cult-like followers to only give money to his super pac, not to any repubs but just his grift organization where he can control the money and use it to attack his perceived enemies while he skims of millions for himself since he is almost broke. It does make me laugh that nothing that the rest of the repubs do to kiss his ass is enough for idiot boy…it’s just his psychopathic need to hurt and control people that the repubs are falling for…geez, don’t they have any self respect? Yeah, we all know the answer to that question…nope…
Georgia is coming for trump…
Well…not sure if you read about it or not but Georgia is coming hard for trump…over the weekend it was announced by the DA who is running the case against trump for election fraud has added a lawyer who specializes in racketeering cases and who has written the book on how to do it…yep, he actually wrote the procedures on how to make a racketeering case and his job is going to be on trump’s case…and there have been other pundits who specialize in the law who have come out to say that the only evidence that is needed to convict trump and his cronies is the phone call that he made to the Secretary of State of Georgia where he asked him to “find” enough votes to give the election to him….and guess who else was in on this election fraud…ole Lindsay Graham and I really think he needs to lawyer up and soon since these state charges are all felonies that carry up to a 20 year sentence….tick tock, trump…they are coming for you….
The covid relief bill passed!
Well…just last night, the senate passed the covid relief bill that takes care of many people who have been destroyed by the pandemic, but of course, not one damn repub voted for it even though the latest polls show that 76% of the entire country supports it…and even 66% of repubs supported it….so again, who the hell are they supposed to be representing? Just on cue, McConnell sent out a big gripe letter with the usual talking points…it’s too expensive, it’s full of things not related to covid, the extension of UI benefits will make people not work…yadda, yadda…hey Moscow mitch….you didn’t bitch at all when you repubs passed that expensive tax cut of 2.0 trillion dollars that only went to the rich so you can just shut the hell up right now. The biggest complaint that the repubs have is that it actually helps Americans and they don’t give a damn about the American people at all and they are pissed that they couldn’t get more tax cuts for the rich included in this bill. Now this bill does include the 1400 dollar payment to people making less than 75K a year so I will get the entire 2 grand relief payment…but that is not why I like this bill…it is an example of what government can accomplish to move the people of this country forward and make it a just a little easier for everyday people…and that is another reason why the repubs hate it…geez…
The crap gets deeper for trump and his cronies…
Well…this one made me grin…just this morning, Rep Eric Swalwell filed suit against the idiot boy, donnie jr., rep Mo Brooks, and rudy for inciting the riot that endanger the lives of the police and members of congress…and he did it as private citizens so the idiot boy and mo brooks can’t hide behind and get their lawyers paid for by the government….and he is asking for damages for the mental anguish and danger the idiot squad put them in when they incited the riot at the “rally” the morning of Jan 6th…if this one goes to trial, there is going to be discovery where all of their phone and other records have to be surrendered to the plaintiffs…and they are going to have to sit down to be questioned on why they lied to the mob to get them to attack the capital. This is the second suit to be filed against these morons by a member of congress and these are going to tie them up in court for years and cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars…if they can even find anyone to defend them…couldn’t happen to a worse bunch of assholes…
The worst kind of pay for play…
Well…we all know how terrible the repubs are…there is not a good person in that whole bunch and Ron DeSantis, the governor of Florida is one of that basket’s most rotten apples…since vaccines have been available, ole Ron has been making sure that his rich, white buddies got to the front of the line, taking vaccines that were meant for poor, minority areas and essentially selling them to his buddies to enrich his re-election fund…and he had his best fundraising month ever in February, raising 2.7 million dollars and not a dime of it was from the repub rank and file…one rich white guy even gave him a check for a quarter of a million dollars after DeSantis got him a place in line for the vaccine. Now in any other political era this would have spelled doom for any candidate or politician to stiff the poor from the protection of the vaccine but in these times where nothing is too low for any repub politician, they just don’t care about anyone who didn’t vote for them. I wonder if there is a bottom to all of this corruption? Okay, yeah, stupid question…where there repubs are involved all there is a black hole that has not bottom and they are in a race to the bottom…geez…
I guess the repubs don’t represent anyone…
Well…yeah, I’m really late today and it has just been from busy work around here…oh, and I did get 10 miles in on the bike today for the first time in 6 weeks and that felt good…but, that’s not what this is about…as you know, or I hope you do, the dems have been trying to put together a covid relief plan that would get the economy working for everyone again and it includes some more direct payments along with money to help cities, states, and struggling businesses and help pay to re-open schools….the latest polls say the even 59% of repubs really like the bill and want it passed along with enough dems and independents tot get the support to over 70%…so, what are the repubs that represent these 70% of the country doing? Yep, doing everything they can in the senate to derail it and stop it’s passage….so who the hell do these repubs represent? If 70% of the country want this bill passed and the repubs aren’t going to help, I guess we need to look for who they really represent…and this time it’s not even business since even the damn Chamber of Commerce wants it passed…so who? I don’t think it’s anyone but their own little shitty brains that have only one mode left…oppose anything the dems want even it it will hurt the country and it’s popular…so, we need to make them pay in 2022….what a bunch of assholes…
Josh Hawley should just shut the hell up…
Well…another spectacle in the senate today when one of the chief insurrectionists, Josh Hawley, was questioning the FBI chief Chris Wray about the January 6th attack on the capital…first, why the hell did they let one of the people responsible for the attack question anyone? You remember ole Joshie…the smug little prick who gave the raised fist salute to the attackers of the capital just before the attack began? And who was one of 9 repub senators who tried to overturn the legal results of the election? One interesting line of questioning was when ole Joshie asked if there were cell tower records of the day in question and if there were social media records for that day, too, and Joshie asking for that information sounds to me that he is really worried that he is going to show up in that data with either a phone call to the attackers or cell data that would show he met with some of them before the attack. I really do hope they have that data and find that little shit in it…he deserves a felony charge for conspiracy if he does…keep sweating Joshie…
If you didn’t already know….
Well…I’m back for a political one…not sure if you know but the big conservative hate fest called CPAC was held in Florida over the weekend, and the speakers were pretty consistent with all of them spewing the same old election lies that the election was “stolen” from the idiot trump and that the attack on the capital was done by antifa and BLM and they were just disguised as trump supporters…yadda, yadda….but, within all of the lies was a tiny kernal of truth of the fascist nature of the modern repub party….if you take a look at the main stage and it’s shape you can see that it is a little familiar to those of us who have had an interest in WWII….it was shaped like the “Odal rune” that was used on Nazi SS uniforms in WWII and is widely used by white supremacists in both the US and Europe…so now we know where the modern repub party stands…okay, we knew it was a white supremacist party and hates anyone who is not a white person but damn, trump has unleashed these folks with his “fine people on both sides” bs he pulled after the Charlottesville hate riots….how can this country not see that? Geez….
