Well…if it wasn’t already clear that the only purpose of any repub administration is to loot as much money as they can from yours and my tax dollars, you just have to look at the contracts being let for the idiot boy’s wall….just because the idiot stood up and brayed that the wall was an “emergency”, the rest of the government run by repubs is going along with the plunder and ignoring all of the purchasing rules that apply to government contracts. Just yesterday, it was reported that trump just gave out a contract to build 100 miles of his idiot wall for a billion dollars…yep, and the worst part is that there were no reviews, no competitive bidding and no compliance to any rules that every other contract has to meet…and this one shows the worst of crony capitalism…being given to a politically connected repub whose company has a total of 3 employees…yep, a billion dollar contract to a company that essentially doesn’t exist except in the fevered brain of the moron in chief….I wonder if this is the same company that got a 300 million dollar contract to fix the electrical grid in PR but didn’t do any work at all and just stole a hundred million dollars before their contract was terminated? There is a reason there are rules for government procurement…in every damn repub administration they treat the government like their own piggy bank to reward their friends and steal as much as they can….keep it up, folks…the day is coming when honest people will be running the government and there will be hell to pay….

Barr really, really has to go…
Well…running a little late getting here for this one today and I have good reasons for it that I’ll get to later…first, another day, another revelation that Bill Barr has used his position to try to help trump instead of upholding the law…late last year, a Turkish bank with close ties to Turkey’s strongman was under investigation for a multitude of crimes including money laundering and helping Iran get around the UN sanctions it was under for it’s nuclear program…and of course Erdogan didn’t like that so he called the idiot trump, knowing that he is a patsy who can be taken advantage of, and asked him to kill the investigation before indictments could be handed down by the SDNY…and, of course, idiot boy called up his fixer Barr and told him to kill the investigation which Barr tried mightily to do but the prosecutors at SDNY were having none of that since they had spent years building the case and it was clear that the bank was breaking the law….so before Barr could fire anyone in the SDNY office, they filed the indictments and got the case into the courts…now, from what we’ve seen lately, that doesn’t matter to Barr at all…if it benefits trump or his cronies, there is nothing Barr won’t do…and that makes me call for his resignation…again…along with 1,100 former prosecutors who signed a letter saying that Barr is corrupting the justice system and has to go….and now….
NASCAR can go right to hell…
Well…I knew that the owners of nascar and most of the drivers are trump loving morons and that was shown when he was installed and drivers like Kesolowski and Bowyer expressed their glee on twitter and I responded to them with a question…” you have young kids, would you point to trump as a role model for them?” Of course, they couldn’t defend it so they didn’t respond…and we have seen the heads of nascar, the France family, palling around with the idiot boy and wearing their MAGA hats… we’ve even seen driver Austin Dillon giving the white power “OK” hand signal in the intros to the races…so nascar is a cesspool of trump supporting, entitled, right wing assholes…even with that, I have been ignoring those facts since I am still a race fan and wanted to see the races, but, with the invite of the asshole in chief to be grand marshal of the Daytona 500 tomorrow, I have reached my breaking point…normalizing trump with this type of event is something I will not be part of…so I will not be watching the 500 tomorrow…and, being honest, I have been losing my interest in nascar for years now and have basically used the races for background noise as I take a nap on Sunday afternoons…hence the term that I use, “napcar” to describe the series. I hope the trump loving France family enjoys their little bubble of right wing assholes…but for a lot of the rest of us, nascar is dead to us with this last straw….great way to grow the series, morons…
Bill Barr is a transparent liar…
Well…one of the drawbacks of getting up so early and getting all of my work done by 8 am is that I need to find something to do to keep from getting bored…and re runs of Leave it to Beaver are just not cutting it…so, I thought I’d come here for number two before I head out to HF…so, did you see that fake outrage that Bill Barr displayed yesterday saying that the idiot trump’s tweeting is “making it impossible to do my job”? The pundits who are almost always wrong or who have and agenda immediately piped up saying it was a huge break with Barr “standing up” to trump…yeah, that sound you hear is me laughing my butt off…if anyone believes this is standing up to trump, I have a nice bridge in NY to sell you…this is nothing more than Barr reacting to the outrage of his turning the justice department into trump central and doing his best to let trump’s criminal cronies off the hook for their crimes…and I’m sure he is coordinating this “outrage” with the WH to give him cover to continue to destroy the justice department, but to do it in secret instead of in the open as trump tweets expose his behavior. I’m sure Barr has already taken his crayons to the WH and drew up some nice charts and pictures that explained to trump that he is still going to do everything he tells him to but it needs to be quiet…we’ll see if trump’s tweets change to other topics now that he has gotten what he wanted from Barr…one good thing is that quite a few commentators have seen through Barr’s lies and it is being widely reported…but that doesn’t matter to the troglodytes that support trump….
We’re not scared anymore…
Well…whether or not you like Mike Bloomberg ( and there is a lot not to like) his actions and the money he is spending shows we are no longer scared of trump tweets…okay, I don’t think anyone on our side ever were but maybe we are modeling how to react to the idiot in chief for the repubs…just this morning, idiot boy was going off on Bloomberg again about his height of 5’4″ and Bloomberg shot this one back on Twitter: …”we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you and call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune and squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence. I have the record and resources to defeat you, and I will.” Now, that’s how you respond to a con man who even bankrupted casinos he was so bad at business…and I think everyone else on our side should take a cue from Mike that now is the time to attack the bully in chief…and to make sure that Barr and the rest of his cronies know they are going to face the full measure of the law when trump is beaten like a dirty rug…and not the conspiracy theory, fascist use of the justice department that Barr is doing, but the transparent use of the law to uphold it and hold those accountable for breaking it…they should be very concerned but I think most of them are just too stupid to realize it..or have been able to get away with everything for the past twenty years under cover of the entire repub party…that is going to end in November…and not a day too soon…
A “weak” field?
Well…holy crap I am tired of the frickin media getting it wrong again in this election season…just like they did in 2016…and the latest meme is that because Bernie or anyone else didn’t get all the votes, the dems have a “weak” field and they can’t beat the idiot trump…playing right into the Russian propaganda they fell for in 2016. But, I have a different take on it than the talking heads who have been wrong so many times…and that is that not one of our candidates got a huge majority of votes because we have such a strong field of candidates and that the voters can see that any one of them would be a great president but the sorting process hasn’t happened yet…I think our side is being judicious and it is much harder picking someone when all of them are good…the ones that weren’t getting traction fell out last night just like they are supposed to, with Yang, and Bennett getting out of the race…this “weak” field is just more nonsense that the media is thinking up to make it a horserace so they have something to write about…we just need to remember that every damn one of our candidates beat the idiot boy by 5-12 points in the latest polling and even our “weak” candidates can win even before we coalesce behind the eventual nominee….one last thing to remember is that this primary in NH set a record for dems as the biggest turnout ever…and the one thing we know is that when we vote, we win…so, hey pundits…I’ll allow you to steal my ideas if you want…they sure are a better take on politics than your nonsense…
Impeach the son of a bitch again…
Well…look, did you expect that the idiot trump would be chastised at all by being only the 3 president impeached in the history of the country as Susan Collins thinks? Nope, I’m sure you didn’t…and today he is back at criming again by calling up Bill Barr and telling him to contest the sentencing recommendations for his crony Roger Stone of 7 to9 years for the 7 felonies he was convicted of, and threatening to pardon him if Barr didn’t do what he wanted. Now, in any other *presidency, this would be enough to get calls from his own party to cease and desist this unacceptable interference in the justice department or for him to resign…but no, we have Barr grinning and saying yup, I’ll help you commit more crimes to get your crony off and not one damn repub senator or rep saying word one…so now what do we do? Adam Schiff, start preparing a new set of impeachment articles and load them up with all of the times idiot boy obstructed justice…starting with the 10 times in the Mueller report, and then adding every other damn time he has done it in the past 3 years…and then send it to the senate and have mitch have to deal with it…one benefit of that is that if moscow mitch has to deal with that, he can’t get any more right wing, unqualified judges approved..since every one that he rams through has been judged unqualified by the ABA. If this is the only tool we have to work with until the election, then we have to use it to make sure the public knows how corrupt and wrong all of this crap is….
Back to politics…
Well…just got back from a quick run up to the hospital and now it’s time to get back to politics after a few days off…I’m not sure why there is so much hand wringing on our side about the “electability” of our candidates with one being too far to the left, one being to centrist, two being women (yep, that’s still a thing) and one being a real billionaire…but I think the task for our side is far simpler than anyone makes it out to be…and it is something that I’ve said here many, many times…when we vote, we win. We just need to turn out our voters and make sure they understand that of any election in the country’s history, this is one that no one on our side can sit out…and that should be our focus…turning our our voters and convincing them that no matter who the nominee is, we need to get behind them…no protest votes for a Jill Stein that gave us the idiot trump…even if you may not like Bernie, Liz, Amy, or Pete or they are not “your” nominee, you need to suck it up and still vote our side and not just the top of the ticket…we need our voters to get off their butts and vote for our side all the way down the ticket…we need to protect Gary Peters for senate here in Michigan and we need to continue to make gains in the state senate and house and we need to protect our majority in the House…we need to make every damn one of the repubs pay for their protection of the criminal trump and his cronies…and with moscow mitch destroying the senate more and more every day, we need to take that back to start the cleanup that we have to do every damn time we follow the repubs stupidity. Just vote…pretty damn simple, huh? Just frickin vote….
What do you think now, Susan Collins?
Well…is there any more worthless of a senator than Susan Collins of Maine? After all, her vote gave us Kavanaugh on the supreme court and let trump get away with all of his crimes which she justified by saying “trump has learned his lesson” after the totally rigged senate trial…what do you say today Susie? Just two days after your vote acquitted him, trump has started on his payback rampage against the law abiding citizens who testified under subpoena in the House by firing Sondland and Vindman, and for good measure he fired Vindman’s brother, too…and has turned his crowd of zombies on Mitt Romney after Mitt was the only repub to vote to convict trump in the senate…so, what lesson has he learned Susie? Not the one you were thinking of, that’s for sure…what trump learned is that he can do anything and get away with it because of people like you who tut tut and make noises that maybe, just maybe trump might have possibly kind of sort of done something wrong but then vote to allow him to continue to commit crimes and attack this country. This is going to be your legacy when you are voted out of office in the fall…of a flip flopping sycophant who talks a good game but then enables the worst of this country to destroy it…all the while trying to project the facade of a “moderate” who votes with trump 100% of the time…your time is up…
The fascism is supercharged now…
Well…we’ve witnessed the predictable damn result of the repub conspiracy to protect trump at the cost of our democracy…it’s not enough that trump is doing the rounds where the repub senators who ignored all the evidence and acquitted the idiot are giving him standing ovations, but now his cronies in the senate are now going after his enemies starting with Hunter Biden where trump has directed the IRS to release every bit of information they have on him…including his tax returns and anything that may have come up in earlier partisan investigations trying to dig up dirt on his father…and leading the charge is chief toady Lindsey Graham who telegraphed this move weeks ago, trying to curry favor with the fascist in chief. Now, folks…take a look at the modern repub party that has given up any fig leaf of legitimacy and have gone full fascist by using the power of the government to go after private citizens…no matter that three investigations have found no wrongdoing by either of the Bidens, but in the fascist state that the repubs have created that looks just like frickin Russia, it is now okay to do anything they feel like to anyone they want…what’s next? Disappearing political foes? I am so depressed by this crap that I am going to stop reading the news for a while and probably won’t post much about it unless it’s good news…just can’t take seeing my country destroyed for an asshole like trump….
