It’s “exercise”?

Well…I know I need to get back to doing political ones so I think I’ll dip my toe in right now and see how it goes…as the idiot in chief goes to another one of his golf courses for the 244th time since he was installed as *president and golfs for two days in a row, the death toll from his screwed up response to the deadly coronavirus heads quickly to 100,000 Americans…and still not a peep out of him about the loss of so many Americans and the trauma the deaths are causing to the families and friends left behind. But, that lack of empathy and character is not going unnoticed….with a new ad that came out yesterday, Joe Biden hits at trump for the loser he is and for being the cause of most of the deaths…and of course idiot boy had to take to twitter to try to defend himself even though everything about him is indefensible. Trump’s defense fell back on attacking Obama for some reason…oh, for his taking a golf outing when there were 2…count ’em, two Ebola cases in the US….and…hmmm, I wonder how many hundreds of thousands died from Ebola on Obama’s watch? None….oh, back to the ad…idiot boy also tried to justify his golfing as “exercise” that everyone should do…but did you see him walking the course pulling his bag behind him….of course not, his “exercise” consists of walking 10 feet to where his ball landed and then walking 10 feet back to the cart…I guess he considers driving the cart to be “exercise” too….so Joe lands a punch that the idiot can’t dodge so he blows up like a toddler…again…..keep it up Joe, we need to see this idiot in jail next year….

Eleventy dimension chess…

Well…donald trump, super genius, is at it again…playing his eleventy dimension chess here in Michigan by attacking the women who hold the top three offices in the state. In a state that he won by around 10,000 votes 4 years ago, and that he needs for any hope of re-election, attacking a popular governor, secretary of state and attorney general is something that I guess no one but the super genius understands….or maybe his “gut” understands it but no one else does….and there is nothing that will unite us here in Michigan like some moronic outsider trying to screw with our state…but as the super genius tries to extort the SoS by withholding funds from Michigan for following our constitution which allows for absentee voting and voters need no reason to request a ballot…which is trump breaking the law…again…our repubs stay silent on the extortion and instead focus on trying to “open” the state while there are still pandemic levels of virus infections and it will kill thousands more of us. I just can’t see the strategery here….do they think bots vote? After all, more than 50% of the twitter support for “opening” is Russian bots doing just what they did in 2016 to install trump…and these folks salute and fall into line with the Russians again….and polls show that almost 70% of Americans want the isolation to continue until the scientists say it’s safe….not some damn failed game show host who is dumber than a box of rocks….

Just don’t want to talk about idiot boy….

Well….I do want to do a political one today but I don’t want to talk about the idiot boy…so, I won’t….I do want to talk about other things…like our governor here in Michigan who I think is doing a great job during this crisis…but I have one little bitch about coverage of the gradual re-opening of businesses here that starts today….the media always pairs it with the moronic protests that the rw assholes have been doing here and that needs to stop since every damn one of them imply that it is the protests that started the opening process and not the measured, logical response of Governor Whitmer….who is just doing what she said she was going to do when the science allowed it…and not because some yahoos carrying confederate flags and trump posters forced her to….so media…stop that crap…I know headlines like those are clickbait to goose traffic to your sites but attacking a woman to make her look weak when she is doing her difficult job well is just the worst kind of misogyny and wouldn’t happen if she were a man….cripes it’s 2020…not 1920….

It gets worse with Pompeo…didn’t think it could…

Well…but her e-mails! I’ll get that out of the way right now…you know that Mike Pompeo was under investigation for both using government employees as his personal servants and for helping fake a national emergency so he and the idiot trump could sell arms to their buddy and murderer, MBS of Saudi Arabia….oh, but there’s more! Over the past two years, Pompeo and his wife have been using yours and my tax dollars to lay the groundwork for a run for office of Pompeo’s own by have more than a dozen lavish dinners for big repub donors and selected foreign leaders…like MBS…where his wife collected contact information and cultivated these “heavy hitters” which was then sent to here private G-mail account…and less than 10% of the people invited had one damn thing to do with diplomacy…just with mooching on the public dime and rewarding these folks with dinners that cost the taxpayers upwards to a thousand dollars per person….while Pompeo has been helping to push the idea that there has been enough help to the working folks of this country and no more help is needed. And, guess what? The repubs in the senate are perfectly okay with it, refusing to even call Pompeo to ask him any questions about the theft of millions of dollars for his own use…okay, I know…I’ve bitched about the hypocrisy of the repubs before…many times, but damn…treating the national treasury as his own piggy bank? While Mitch and his cronies say they’ve done enough to help the little guy and there is no more help to come….remember this in November…and make them all go away…cripes…

Trump is a pissy little baby…

Well…we all know the traditions of this country that bring people together don’t mean a damn thing to trump…as evidenced by him totally ignoring the fact that the graduates of high schools and colleges didn’t get to have the normal graduations this year with the pandemic and his bungling causing the shutdowns that kept them away…and he didn’t even have the human feeling to make any kind of a statement…after all, most of these graduates won’t vote for him so he just doesn’t care about them…hmmmm…I wonder who did a virtual commencement speech for these kids? Yep, President Obama gave a heartfelt talk where he actually took a shot at the selfish assholes who are running this country as he held them up as examples of who not to be….and I guess that hit home to the idiot boy as he ranted around the WH and decided he would “show” Obama who is boss by not inviting him to the WH for his portrait unveiling as every damn president since Reagan has done. Did we expect any different from the pissy little baby in the WH? For his part, when asked Obama said he wouldn’t go…but what I think he should have said would be something like “I’ll go after my friend Joe Biden is elected this fall” ….that would have highlighted to the in over his head asshole squatting there that he is in real danger of ending up in jail in 2021…especially since Biden has already promised there will be no pardon for trump for any of the multitude of crimes he has committed when he is elected. God, what a tiny, tiny little boy trump is…knowing that he can’t hold up being in the same room with a real president he throws a fit and stomps of for Big Macs and diet coke….what a damn baby….cripes…

The real reason…

Well…just getting ready to get back on the bike and thought I’d do a follow up to one that I did yesterday concerning the idiot trump’s firing of the state department IG…the first stories that came out over the weekend said the investigations the IG was doing concerned Pompeo using federal employees to run personal errands for he and his wife…and that is bad enough and unethical, but the real reason for the investigation was a request from rep. Eliot Engel for the IG to take a look at trump’s phony emergency declaration that he used to funnel arms sales to Saudi Arabia that congress had not approved. So, it wasn’t just Pompeo that was being investigated, but trump too….and they wanted the IG gone before he could finish his report that would show that the whole thing was done just to help out his murdering buddy MBS and reward the arms manufacturers who donated so much cash to trump’s campaign.  You know, I’m getting tired of writing about the corruption of these assholes…and will we see the repubs doing anything about it…ha,ha,ha….yeah…idiot boy didn’t shoot someone on 5th avenue so it’s all good…cripes…

I promised a political one…

Well…you know, I should probably not promise to do one or more of these a day since I normally have to have a topic strike me and get me a little outraged before I can achieve whatever small amount of lucidity I can…but there was one thing that just made me shake my head this morning when I read about another firing of an inspector general by the idiot trump…I think that makes 6 of them for idiot boy in the most “transparent” administration in history…and the reasons given were just the same old bullshit that trump had “lost confidence” in this one…just like the other 5…but just today the real reason came out for Steve Linick being fired…I wonder who he was investigating? Oh, yeah, that’s right, Mike Pompeo for using government employees to run personal errands for he and his wife….and guess who “urged” trump to fire Linick? Yep, Pompeo….the swamp gets deeper every damn day when these folks even breathe…so now it’s perfectly fine with the repubs for the people under investigation to be able to just make a phone call and then poof, the investigation of their unethical bullshit just goes away….and a lifetime government employee loses his job just for doing it. Okay, do you need even more of a reason to get out to vote this fall? There it is….cripes…

This is beyond stupid…

Well….cripes, how much more stupid does the idiot trump have to get before someone has the guts to stand up to him on the repub side? Yesterday, when idiot boy was touring a plant in Pennsylvania that makes masks and other PPE, and of course trump wouldn’t wear one since it will smear the orange makeup he uses, he made a comment about testing that was just so damn stupid, even for him, that all I can do is shake my head. During his comments, he said this: “…if there was no coronavirus testing, there would be fewer cases of the virus…”  Let that one sink in for a minute…trump thinks that if you just stop testing, all of the virus will go away….and I’m sure that he made the leap to that stupidity because someone told him that recognized cases are going up because there is more testing happening….so, in his Adderal addled brain the testing is the CAUSE of the virus spread so stop testing and everything is just going to be fine. Now, hmmmm…I wonder if that works for other diseases, too…stop testing for cancer and you won’t get it….stop testing for diabetes and there will be less of it…yeah, you get my drift…come on repubs…the 25th amendment was made for exactly this situation…trump was never able to do his job with his abject stupidity…but the deterioration in even the past year is so damn clear that leaving him in place is a danger to this country…and there are already 90,000 dead that show that danger….can we last another 8 months? Who knows?

Yeah, right…”insider trading”

Well…gee, I wonder if this is a coincidence? Yesterday, the FBI raided Senator Richard Burr’s office and home…supposedly as part of an investigation into “insider trading” that a bunch of repub senators did before the pandemic hit…where he dumped a bunch of stock before the market crashed and saved himself quite a bit of money…I wonder why he was the only one that was raided? Could it be that Burr is the chairman of the senate intelligence committee who is putting the finishing touches on a 1,000 page report on Russian interference in the 2016 election…and it has already announced that Russia did it and no amount of trump lying is going to change that…and it is speculated that the rest of the report lays out how trump and his cronies actually cooperated with Russia to get the idiot trump installed…I mean, if they exonerated him, would it take 1,000 pages? Look, trump and Barr hate Burr because he has not kissed trump’s ass enough and is trying to put out an honest report…and I’m sure they have a section on Barr’s lying about Mueller and his report and it will be really hard for either of those idiots to deride the conclusions since it is being produced by the repub controlled senate. This is all part of the pattern of the idiot trump trying to get rid of anyone who tries to tell the truth about him or his incompetent bungling….but it won’t stop the report from being issued…there are many others on the committee who will continue the work…after all, Burr isn’t writing it himself, there are staff who put it together and Burr then puts his name to it…I’m sure what trump will do is try to get a toady installed as the new chair to hide the report…but right now I’m sure there are copies being made all over Washington that will be released if they try to hide it…what a bunch of criminals…

Cripes….

Well…I was going to write about the shredding of the rule of law that Barr and the idiot trump are doing right now with dropping the charges against Michael Flynn and letting Paul Manafort out of jail before he has even served a year of his 7 year sentence…along with Barr’s efforts to re-write history and destroy the Mueller investigation by making up wrongdoing by Mueller and his deputies…and the thousands of former DOJ officials who have called for Barr to resign of to be investigated for his illegal use of the justice department for political purposes…but all of this happening with the tacit approval of one of the major political parties just makes me sick….so, I’m going to leave this right here for now…oh, and the supreme court that McConnell packed for trump is going to declare him above the law even though the founders of this country specifically said that no one is above the law…even a president, but that doesn’t matter to the conservative hacks on the court…they don’t give a damn about the rule of law or what the constitution says…they are just making it up as the go along and that is going to be Roberts legacy…heading up the most lawless partisan court in the country’s history….okay, you get my drift and why I am so depressed with all this crap….you know, I should be pretty happy right now…still alive with no virus, some cash in the bank….but what the hell does that mean when these assholes are destroying this country? I need a break from all this crap….
