A placeholder to remind me…

Well…going to do one later about ole elon not showing up for questioning in France…okay, this is pretty funny when you think about it…ole elon thinks the law doesn’t apply to him and in the US, I guess that’s true…but, in the rest of the world they really don’t care about his bullshit…in France, he ignored a summons to appear for questioning but it’s different there…failure to appear results in the same as an indictment and the investigation of his companies supporting nazis and not complying with the law that says children need to be protected when using his websites…so now I guess when he shows up in France at any point, he is going to be arrested along with at least a dozen of his top executives…and I think he’s heading to a billion dollar fine since he can be convicted even if he never shows up…and I think this extends to the entire EU so I guess all of Europe is now off limits to this asshole…and his world is shrinking as more and more countries are trying to hold him accountable…I wonder where he will go for asylum? Even south Africa doesn’t want him back…geez…

Unintended consequences…

Well…with the idiot trump causing the biggest energy crisis in history, one of the unintended consequences is that the rest of the world is now racing to build out the renewables that he hates to get out from under the oil blackmail…and this is just another incidence that proves the rule that everything the idiot trump touches turns to shit…he has tried and tried to reward his buddies in the oil business for giving him billions of dollars to get him elected but he really has just accelerated the move to clean energy after his debacle in Iran…and the smart move is to build out as much renewables as you can…after all, the price of battery storage has dropped 93% since 2010 as has solar cells at a 90% decrease along with wind power dropping 70% in the same time, making these sources the cheapest energy in the history of the world…along with the benefit of putting no carbon in the air and wrenching control of energy back from OPEC and the rest of the middle east…and we know that one of the idiot’s reasons for this stupid war is to take Iran’s oil when oil is quickly heading to the trash heap of energy history…just like what has happened to coal…so the guy who hates renewable energy is going to be the biggest factor in it’s adoption…pretty cool irony, huh? Geez…

The idiot trump is helping criminals..

Well…as you all know, everything the idiot trump touches turns to shit and that is especially true of his stupid immigration crackdowns…to support his hatred of immigrants, he has focused over 90% of the budgets of the FBI and other law enforcement agencies on rounding up and deporting immigrant who are here just to try to make a better life for themselves and their families…and guess who has benefited from this stupidity? Yep, all of the homegrown criminals who are now free to traffic drugs and murder are saying “thanks trump” since prosecution of these crimes are no longer a priority…now, the people of America beg to differ with this distortion of our law enforcement resources but this is what you get when you have a repub party that just goes along with anything this psychopath wants…so, the next time you see a murder reported in the news, you know that the idiot trump and his minions don’t care one bit about that just as long as they can keep deporting hard working immigrants…geez…

Remember this maga…

Well…as the idiot trump and his minions try to gaslight the country and put the blame for 5 dollar a gallon gas prices on Obama and Biden…I want the maga folks to remember this…it’s all the idiot trump’s fault…and I’ll say that again…it’s all the idiot trump’s fault…out here in Muskegon we were down to 2.62 a gallon before he started his stupid war…and today gas out here is 4.89 a gallon and it’s all idiot boy’s fault…without this stupid war, Spirit airlines would not have gone out of business…without this stupid war people didn’t have to choose to buy gas to get to work or to put food on the table…now that’s the daily discussion on every kitchen table here in the US…and guess who profits from all of this…trump’s cronies who run the oil companies…their costs have not gone up one penny and yet the price of gas has doubled…and the kicker is that the US produces enough oil to meet all of our needs but trump and his idiots are exporting oil to make sure the price stays high and he can count on campaign contributions or to build his stupid ballroom…have you hears one repub say that gas prices are too high? Nope, only to try to blame Biden not to criticize the idiot, who again maga folks, is the one reason you are not eating…good job for electing this asshole…I really do hope some of you starve…geez…

Bragging about cognitive tests…

Well…the idiot trump keeps bragging about “acing” the cognitive tests that his doctors are giving him saying he’s taken three of them and no other president has done even one…now, I really don’t think he’s bright enough to understands what the means…it means his doctors have seen a decline in his grasp of reality and are trying to figure out how bad it is…and no other president has taken one because they never showed the mental decline that is on display with idiot boy every day…hundreds of doctors have looked at his behavior and have said it all fits with early stage dementia and let’s remember that dementia runs through his family and it is hereditary…look, at my advance age, I have had one cognitive test for a baseline to see if there are symptoms of decline…but that was 5 years ago and my doctors take a look at me at my checkup and they don’t think I need another one…so remember, the only reason idiot boy has had three is that there are clear signs of mental decline that his doctors are concerned about…I mean bragging that he can recognize an alligator or a squirrel? That’s nothing to brag about but he’s just too stupid to understand that…geez…

Tin soldiers and Nixon coming…

Well…as I always do, I mark the day of the Kent State massacre every May 4th and today makes 56 years since it happened…and nothing has changed…Americans are still being killed by their government for still exercising their constitutional rights under the first amendment…I was a 16 year old kid trying to figure out how I fit in the world and these murders ripped the cloth off my eyes and I saw our government not as the benign entity for good but as a terrible one run by people who didn’t have any idea what the constitution meant and didn’t care…they thought in terms of “law and order” and anyone not toeing the line they wanted was fair game to be murdered in the streets…that started me on t he path I still follow today of a deep and abiding cynicism after seeing ordinary people murder their fellow citizens and, with what is still going on today, nothing changes…geez…

The dems are getting ready…

Well…with so many crimes and so much corruption to choose from, house dems have started to get ready for the investigations that are to come, telegraphing what it’s going to look like after the election this fall…and it’s started with the corrupt deal that the idiot trump made with Totalenergies to give them a billion dollars after idiot boy cancelled two offshore wind projects…and the money was to build pipelines and other facilities for oil and gas projects that the US does not need…and that money was stolen from a fund used to defend the US from lawsuits which Totalenergies had none..so this was a clearly a bribe to Total to get them to go along with idiot boy’s pet project to destroy renewable projects and build more dirty energy to pay back the oil companies that have bribed him for years…so all I have to say is good on them for no longer waiting and using what power they have to put the corrupt companies like Fidelity Investments, who just folded to trump and stopped taking donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center due to a trumped up indictment of misuse of funds that will get thrown out of court…maybe this will stop some of these stupid ceo’s from folding to the idiot trump…geez…

Affordability is bullshit?

Well…the senile old asshole in the WH gave up the game yesterday in a speech to his right wing enclave of the villages in Florida when he called the affordability crisis “bullshit” and said that it was just a dem scam…man, I can see the ads being written with this clip right now and if every dem running for anything doesn’t use it, it will be political malpractice…I mean 4.50 gas is bullshit? Not being able to afford beef is bullshit? And skyrocketing costs of everything is bullshit? This out of touch asshole has caused all of it with his stupid war and tariffs and the hits will keep on coming as the price of fertilizer soars by 50% since it is made from oil…and that is going to mean that all food prices are going to soar soon and there is going to be widespread choices to be made…do we eat or do we pay our other bills? That is going to hit more than 50% of America since that many people here are living paycheck to paycheck and have less than 400 dollars in the bank…so yeah, for the rich it may be bullshit but for the rest of us is certainly isn’t…and we’re going to pay for this asshole’s stupidity…geez…

This is what they’re running on now…

Well…if you didn’t know that the repubs are just awful, all you have to do is listen to their latest talking point that extends on forcing people on Medicaid to work to get their benefits…the only thing that you have to remember is that most of the people getting Medicaid are either disabled or already working…and now, some asshole repub has said that all people getting Medicare should have to work to get the benefits that we have paid for our entire lives…don’t they understand what the word retired means? How many times do we have to listen to this crap before we never vote for another repub? I paid for my Medicare benefits and to have some entitled rich asshole repub say that now we have another hoop to jump through to get our earned Medicare just pisses me off and should do the same for anyone who is 65 and has worked their whole lives…this is what SS and Medicare are for…so that seniors do have the chance to relax and enjoy what they’ve earned after paying in hundreds of thousands of dollars to the SS/Medicare pool…if anyone votes for this bullshit, they should be made to pay by never sitting on their fat asses sucking up money that belongs to us…geez…

Everybody likes dem policies…

Well…with the defeat of Janet Mills in Maine, maybe we are seeing a return to true dem policies that she did her best to destroy…and she was the hand picked candidate of the repub lite dems like schumer who think the way to electoral success is to appeal to repub voters and be like them…but there is a new wave of dems out there who are not shy about being dems and proposing policies that will help regular people who are struggling in this billionaire dominated economy…and these policies start with taxing the rich to have the money to help people have better lives with affordable child care, affordable housing, and getting billionaire money out of elections…when these ideas are polled, ever 60% of repubs like them along with 80% of dems…so with popularity like that, why is the dem leadership still hanging on to ideas no one likes? This is one reason why people really don’t like dems…and it is for the fact that they never fight for the little guy, they never take the repubs on head on and call them out for their bullshit…so now a new generation of dems are making their voices heard and they are not scared of laying out a new vision for this country where one job will support a family, where higher education is affordable to all with no crushing debt to go along with it, with a social safety net that will relieve the threat of being one crisis away from bankruptcy, and that healthcare is a right not a profit center for the rich to get richer…this is not radical stuff…it’s how things used to be until the repubs stole the country and gave it to the rich…and it can be again just as long as the new dems get a voice and schumer and company get relegated to the dustbin of history where they belong…geez…
