Well…if you didn’t already know that Bill Barr was the most corrupt AG in US history, you just need to look at his actions from yesterday night when he tried to fire the US attorney from the SDNY, but the US. A, Berman wasn’t buying it and didn’t even know what Barr had done until he saw a press release from Barr saying Berman had “resigned” and he was going to appoint a crony of his who had never tried a case in court…one little problem is that since Berman was appointed by the district court, he can only be replaced by an attorney who is confirmed by the senate…something that will take time and it appears that Barr thinks they don’t have time to waste…I wonder why that would be? Could it be that there are indictments being prepared for Rudy Giuliani just like they were for his two partners who tried to extort Ukraine to fake some evidence against Joe Biden? Or could it be that the Jeffrey Epstein investigation has turned up something on the idiot trump himself? The attorney that Barr is trying to sideline released a statement saying the investigations will continue and he will not bow to the pressure coming from Barr…and will stay in his job until the law is followed to replace him….remember that this district is the one that is charged with investigating all of trump’s criminality when he was in NYC, but I don’t understand why this is being attempted with only 5 months til the election….is there something that bad coming out of the SDNY? Look, everyone thinks that Barr is so smart but with just a few months left in his term, why is he exposing himself to obstruction of justice charges when trump loses in November? Just because the administration changes, it’s not a free pass for crimes committed during it and when we take all three branches of government in November, you can bet Barr is going to be called to testify to the house just as soon as Biden is sworn in…and he will be arrested and forced to come if he refuses since he won’t have the most corrupt president in our history to protect him….this reeks of stupidity but stupidity is the hallmark of trump’s cronies so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised…tick tock Barr…

There’s going to be a new hotspot…
Well….I think I bitched about this before but it came back to me riding through the parking lot for John Ball park this morning…I really think the park is going to be a new hotspot for the coronavirus looking at the hundred or so people who were in the parking lot today and none of them were wearing masks…and the lots were full to overflow so how are they doing social distancing? I was going to write about how well the people of Michigan have done with wearing masks and doing everything else to help control the virus they have been asked…enough to where Michigan is one of three states who are in the green for new infections and deaths…but I think this has made people complacent…especially in this very red portion of the state that still supports the idiot trump and have sent reps to the state government who have done everything they can to keep our governor from protecting the people of this state under the guise of “freedum” or some such nonsense….I surely hope I’m wrong and there is not enough virus here to cause a spike…but, all across the country we are seeing cases explode when things “open” so I think that is probably wishful thinking….
“I guess the supreme court doesn’t like me”
Well….that statement just about sums up how the idiot trump sees the entire world…whether people like him or not is the only important thing to him, not that DACA recipients can now stay in the US, not that California can declare itself a sanctuary state, not that the second amendment can be restricted just like every other amendment to the constitution, and not that our LGBTQ friends and neighbors have the same rights as the rest of us…all things that trump and his racist cronies argued against that were just ruled by the court…but the takeaway that trump gets from this smackdown is that “the supreme court doesn’t like me”….typical narcissist thinking and revealing that everything is about trump…not the law, not rights of LBGTQ Americans, not the racist bullshit that spews out of trump every day…but it is just about if people like him or not…and shows how frickin needy this asshole is….and lays bare his worldview that everything revolves around him…not the 800,000 DACA recipients who now can breathe a sigh of relief after wondering for months if today is the day that ICE is going to show up and put them on a plane for a country they have never lived in. I am really surprised that the court ruled that trump can’t deport DACA recipients today…I expected that they would side with trump and his racist cronies and allow all of these people to be rounded up and arrested….but trump losing 4 cases this week made me so damn happy…not that trump lost, but that the right decisions were handed down and it made this country better…something that idiot boy can never say…
Bolton’s book has started to drop…
Well….even with the idiot trump’s totally corrupt justice department and Bill Barr suing him to prevent the release of excerpts from John Bolton’s tell all book on the inside workings of the trump crime administration, I’m not sure how I feel about Bolton snubbing the congress during impeachment to keep his info close so he could profit off it instead of protecting the country. I am going to relish the dribs and drabs that are going to continue to come out from now until the election…like the first revelation that idiot boy asked XI of China to help him in his 2020 re-election campaign…yep, having Russia install him in 2016 worked so well that now he is asking China to do the same thing…and what do we hear from the repubs in the senate after the sham trial where they didn’t even look into any of the evidence? Nothing but the biggest crickets you’ve ever heard…and them actually running away from reporters so they don’t have to answer why the kept this criminal in office. Oh, and the quid pro quo from the Ukraine corruption? It seems that it is trump’s go to ask since he did the same thing with Xi, asking him to buy American crops to help him win our farm states again…I wonder what he was willing to give Xi for this help? Look, I hate John Bolton with a passion since he could have faithfully executed the oath he took to protect the constitution but he didn’t do one damn thing other than set himself up to profit from his dereliction of duty…and saddled us with trump and his other minions who have killed 117,000 Americans…all he had to do was go to the congress and testify…but I guess making millions for himself is worth more than a gutted economy and hundreds of thousands of Americans dead…so FU Bolton….you fit right in with the rest of the repubs…
But wait, there’s more…
Well…with all of the attention given to the miraculous supreme court decision announced yesterday that yes, LGBTQ people here in the US have the same rights as everyone else and can’t be fired or discriminated against for who they are, there were two more cases that were also decided that put the old advertising hook in my head..”but wait, there’s more!” The first one dealt with California passing legislation declaring itself a “sanctuary state” that would not cooperate with the thugs from ICE who were terrorizing the undocumented population there…some with deep roots in the state and most who are contributing members of California society…doing jobs that no one else wants to do at the pay that farm owners want to pay. After the law was passed, trump and his racist cronies sued California for not spending their tax dollars to help them carry out their racist policies of putting children in cages and separating them from their families. Every damn court upheld California’s right to determine how their state will be run and how it’s tax money will be spent…but even after losing in every court, Barr kept up appealing the ruling, thinking that their cronies on the supreme court would certainly allow them to force states to be as racist as they are…but he and the rest of trump’s racist cronies got slapped down when the court told them to go away, that California has the right to control their state. The second case is more about what the court didn’t do…they declined to take 10 cases on gun control that the second amendment nuts had shopped around to right wing trumpist judges who ignored the law to rule in their favor…but after the appeals courts ruled that reasonable restrictions on the second amendment are allowed…as with every other damn amendment, the court declined to take the cases, essentially saying the appeals courts got it right in what they ruled…so now trump is even a bigger loser today than yesterday….he has lost 99% of the cases his crooked justice department under Barr has brought but that won’t stop them for wasting more of the court’s time for the next 6 months….losers all…
some good news from the supreme court…
Well…just a few minutes ago, the supreme court delivered a landmark decision that title VII of the 1964 civil rights act applies to LGBTQ people here in the US….and that means that no one can any longer be fired just for who they are…to say that I am surprised by this ruling is an understatement, and to have both Roberts and Gorsuch join the liberal justices in making sure that all Americans have the same rights and protections under the constitution is so surprising that it has many court watchers stunned given the outright hate that trump and his idiot minions show toward this community every damn day….as I have said for years now, this is exactly the ruling that should have been handed down…how can you uphold the 14th amendment that requires equal treatment under the laws and then carve out some Americans who are just not quite as equal as the rest of us? Do you hear those heads exploding at the WH? This is not the ruling that trump and his cronies paid for when they conspired with McConnell to put Kavanaugh and Gorsuch on the court and I wonder if Both Roberts and Gorsuch see the writing on the wall that trump will be gone in 6 months and they need to start thinking of the rule of law and the damage they have done to it…especially Roberts who is cognizant of his legacy and the damage many rulings from the conservatives have done to it. Whatever the reason, if they made the right ruling even by accident it is a good day here in the US for our LBGTQ friends and family…finally, equal rights means equal rights and I can’t be more surprised they did the right thing…
This is just pathetic…
Well…still sitting here nursing the foot after skipping the second ride and thought I’d do a short one on the most pathetic thing I have seen in the host of pathetic things that trump and his minions have done. Just last week, when idiot boy got news he didn’t want to hear from a CNN poll that showed him losing to Joe Biden by 13 points, he screamed at his trolls to send a cease and desist letter to CNN to stop publishing the poll that shows that trump is a loser….now, threatening legal action because your fe fees are hurt because you are losing big and someone is reporting it is just the head slapping stupidity everyone expects from him…and it shows how far trump’s minions have to go to keep the toddler in chief from throwing fits every hour of every damn day…I am counting the days until this criminal is sent back to one of his tasteless, gaudy golf clubs while he waits for his crimes to catch up with him and the inevitable perp walk….150 days…
They’ve just given up…
Well…I guess governing and protecting the American people is too hard for trump and his cronies so they have just given up on the pandemic and idiot boy is back at his golf course prepping for more “rallies”…the coronavirus task force doesn’t meet anymore and all of the people who were reporting on progress (what little there was) have been told to stop making trump look bad and have been forbidden to talk to the press since idiot boy feels the whole virus thing is over and it’s time to move on…the only problem with that is in the red states that did little or nothing to prevent the spread of the virus are now seeing their cases spike and their hospitals overwhelmed….doctors in Houston are saying that they are close to “disaster” as all of their ICU beds are full but cases are still rising sharply…and this is the case in Florida, Arizona, Alabama, Alaska,Arkansas….where the average increase in cases since “reopening” has been around 300% and the pandemic is still in full force…not just the smoldering dying embers as idiot boy describes it…but a full fledged emergency with the death toll across the country now over 110,000 and predicted to go to 250,000 by mid July…and trump and his cronies do nothing…this is an impeachable offense right there and every damn one of them should be in jail for malfeasance after they are thrown out of office in November since the senate repubs won’t do a damn thing to protect Americans, either. One small bright spot is here in Michigan where we had the fourth highest amount of cases and deaths in the country but now, after our science based reopening, our cases are down 64% and are still falling…gee, I wonder if using fact based decision making had something to do with that? It sure looks like basing public health decisions on politics isn’t working too well in the red states….and it is going to get worse with idiot boy crisscrossing the country to put on his hate rallies with no social distancing or any other form of protection for the attendees…but trump is protecting himself by forcing everyone going to the rallies to sign a waiver saying that if they get sick, they can’t hold trump or his campaign responsible…so, there’s no danger but you can’t blame trump for killing you…sounds like danger to me….
Another bloodbath…
Well…hey, MAGA folks…how’s your 401K looking today? Or the stocks that you poured all your money into over the past month or so since the know nothing investment “experts” and the idiot trump lied to you about where the market was going? You just lost at least 7% of it today as the stock market cratered to the tune of over 1800 points…and the real experts who have been saying there was no rational reason for the continuing increase in stock prices have been proven right…again…look, here’s how stupid these investors have been…they have bought into many, many bankrupt companies and have pumped their stocks up to the point that they were worth more than when they declared…something that has never happened before…and you know who is dumping this inflated stock? The rich guys who have been bankrolling the so called “experts” on fox business in a classic “pump and dump” scheme and they will walk away with all these moron’s money, leaving these right wing investors with worthless paper…now, I am trying really hard to have some sympathy for these folks but we all have to remember it was people like these investors that gave us trump and still support the criminal in chief…so maybe them getting some of the damage that trump has done to this country dropped in their laps is not a bad thing….
He’s even more nuts today…
Well…cripes…I think I’ve said this many, many times before but the idiot in chief is even more nuts today…reacting to a typically Seattle protest in the center of the city where the police have abandoned a station there…not because of violent protesters but to keep a protest from becoming violent, the thug in chief went nuts and called the peaceful protesters “ugly anarchists” and said they must be “stooped” IMMEDIATELY. MOVE FAST…yep that exactly what the moron in chief tweeted….I wonder if he means they must be bent over like walking with a cane? As you’ve seen, idiot boy is so threatened when anyone exercises their constitutional rights which is what these peaceful protesters are doing…and they are doing it by showing movies and making cupcakes….monstrous actions that need to be stopped….the mayor of the city, Jenny Durkan had this perfect response to trump’s rage tweeting..”Make us all safe, go back to your bunker” ….and the governor, Jay Inslee, weighed in with….”stay out of Washington State’s business…stoop tweeting”. I guess people are finally pushing back on the moron since they now know he is all talk and bluster and won’t do a damn thing because it’s too much work….the people on the ground in Seattle know their city and the people there and know what the correct response to the protest are….trump really should STFU and get another Big Mac…that’s all he’s good for….
