Well….there is good news that has come out this afternoon…that Michael Flynn is going to testify (or has testified) that it was the idiot trump who ordered the contacts with Russia…and it appears that ole Mike Pence was in the loop, too…let that soak in for a minute…okay, try not to grin too much since we need to save some face muscles for the indictments to come…and the way the plead deal was written states that if Flynn stops cooperating, the rest of the charges will be filed…so he has lots of incentive to spill on everyone…including donny junior, kushner, and Ivanka…they’re gonna need an entire wing in a federal prison before this is over…impeach….

Lock him up…
Well…just finished up putting the snowies on the car and came in to this bit of great news….Michael Flynn, the idiot who led the “lock her up” chant at the repub convention last year, has just been taken into custody by the FBI…and is going to plead guilty to lying to the FBI…now, with all of the things he is guilty of, for Mueller to allow him to plead way down to only one felony, Flynn has given up someone even higher up the food chain…can you say trump? This is the first bit of good news this week and the endgame is on…I am SO anticipating another shoe to drop today and for the idiot trump to start tweeting his final meltdown….let’s just do a little comparison here…Obama’s 8 years….zero indictments….the idiot trump’s first 10 months…4 indictments of top people in his administration….the most lawless, corrupt administration in this country’s history….here come the perp walks….
It’s gonna be a bloodbath…
Well…just when I thought the repubs couldn’t go any lower in their zeal to give the country away to the rich and corporations…today we had little Marco Rubio just flat come out and admit that the main thing that the repubs want to accomplish with this tax bill is to destroy Social Security and Medicare…by driving the deficits through the roof by cutting taxes, they have an excuse to gut all of what is left of the safety net….and I predict that if they do pass this bill, there will be a bloodbath that will destroy the repubs in 2018…especially since they are attacking one of the only groups that staunchly support them…old, white retirees….what is going to happen when next year they cut 25 billion from Medicare and then tell these same retirees that their cancer treatment is no longer going to be paid for. So, who are the “death panels” in this country? It is the repubs that will be killing people by cutting the Medicare and SS that retirees like me have paid for our entire lives…and now the repubs say “nevermind” we’ll keep the money you paid in and give it to the rich in the form of tax cuts…this is what you voted for you stupid repub voters…impeach,,,
They always make life worse….
Well…not sure if I have seen this in the news but this thought popped into my head on the bike today….why do the repubs always make life worse? Raising taxes on the middle class to give tax breaks to the rich makes life worse for most of the country…don’t they care? Gutting the EPA and letting big polluters get away with pushing the costs of their polluting onto the rest of us makes life worse for most of the country….don’t they care? Taking healthcare away from 13 million people makes life worse for those people….don’t they care? Letting the idiot trump destroy our standing in the world with his idiocy makes life worse for everyone in the world…don’t they care? You and I know the answer to that…they only care about their rich donors and rewarding them for keeping the money taps open….and they don’t give a damn that less than 20% of the country supports their tax scheme that is full of lies….but that is the modern repub for you folks….they really don’t care about you…even the stupid in this country that continue to vote these liars into office….they are the ones who will be hurt the most by this giveaway to the rich….but they are too stupid to understand that….impeach….
Wasn’t going to come back…
Well….I wasn’t going to come back for another one today but I am bored again so I thought I’d come back here for one more….have to work on the top on the car tomorrow…noticed that some more of the thread by the back window has failed and I have to fix it before winter…not really sure how I’ll do it but that’s for tomorrow…just watched Keith Olbermann’s last “The Resistance” that he did for GQ on twitter…he seems convinced that trump is gone soon with Mike Flynn’s lawyer working on a deal for his testimony against the idiot…it can’t happen too soon for me…and I will buy the house a round when they perp walk idiot boy out of his ugly, gaudy, golf course….this is going to be really ugly with the 30% of the country that are so stupid they still support the criminal in chief….and any changes that trump was allowed to make after his fraudulent election should be erased…shouldn’t we get a do-over after this travesty? I think once Mueller is done, the repubs will be exposed for the traitors they are since Ryan and McConnell both took Russian money for the RNC…clearly against the law and they should both go…at least there is one thing that can keep us sane…at the most, this nightmare will last only one more year…after the 2018 elections, if the trend of the past month or so holds, we’ll control at least the House and maybe even the senate….and the full force of sanity will be returned….impeach…
Person of the year?
Well…we all know that trump lies as much as he breathes…but, who would continue to lie about something that can easily be fact checked? This week, the idiot trump tweeted out that he had refused to be named time magazine’s Person of the Year since time had said he only “probably” would be named….trying to make it appear that Time had called him…but, there is just one tiny little problem with that…none of it happened..Time tweeted out a few hours later that they never talked to the idiot at all…and that the person is never told about it until the selection is made public in the early part of December. Now, let’s call trump’s delusion what it is…he is frickin mentally ill…and the media will never call him on it…every reporter should ask him about this every time he leaves his golf club where he is “working”…and keep it up until he explodes….impeach…
Flynn has flipped….
Well…was going to write about his one yesterday when the news came out but I was overdosed on turkey and just didn’t feel like it….as was reported by the NYT yesterday, Mike Flynn’s lawyers have stopped talking to the idiot trump’s lawyers and there is only one reason that that would happen…Flynn is flipping on trump and cutting a deal to keep himself and his son out of prison for the rest of their lives….I am just going to savor that for a while….and revel in the irony that the idiot that led the chants of “lock her up” at the repub convention is probably going to do some jail time and Hillary has been proven to be innocent of all of the right wing smear charges that floated around during the election….Mueller is coming for trump and has him…and there may be bombshells by the end of the year and I can’t wait to see the charges against the idiot….get the popcorn ready….impeach….
Still searching….
Well….I am still searching for today’s topic but nothing is grabbing me right now…I think I’m having outrage fatigue there are so many bad things going on…think about having your internet go away? Or going to have to pay 3 times more for it? That’s going to happen next week once the idiot trump and his cronies gut net neutrality…you know, the rule in place now that make all ISP’s treat all internet traffic the same…the new rules will allow the ISP’s to do whatever the hell they want…block a competitor’s websites? Yep…block a competitor’s browser from being used on their service? Yep…charge extra for internet traffic that is now all available to everyone? Yep…throttle down sites that they don’t agree with? Yep….kill competitors before they can challenge the big guys like ATT and Verizon? Yep…all of that and even more will happen with the new rules that give the rich companies exactly what they paid for when they bought themselves the repub party…oh, I guess I did have a topic…sometimes they sneak up on me….impeach…
Some thoughts on power…
Well…given the effort from the idiot trump to push more coal power across the US and the world, I thought I’d relate a new study that I just read about the cost of power. Done by a company called Lazard every year and called the levelized cost of energy analysis, this study deals with the relative costs for generating power from the major types; coal, nuclear, wind, solar, and natural gas….and the results this year are stunning….the cost of renewable power build and operation has fallen below the cost to just operate coal and nuclear plants…and that means that the installations are essentially free…all of those wind farms and solar cells that are sprouting across the world are essentially free to build and the electricity they generate are about half the cost of traditional methods….so maybe even the idiot’s interference in the generating market to push coal will be derailed by the simple economics of the power market…after all, who would pay twice the price just to keep a few coal miners working? And, the jobs in solar and wind pay much more and are much less dangerous than mining….just some thoughts….
Tax cuts only for the rich…
Well…just wanted to do a short one on the tax “reform” bill that is being jammed through Congress by the repubs as we speak…never mind that there have been no hearings in either the House or Senate on the effects of this crap…something that has never happened before and is all you really need to know..that the repubs are trying to hide this disaster that is specifically being done to reward their donors who have threatened to close the money taps if they don’t get huge tax cuts. And that is the problem here…the rich are the only ones that actually get a cut…anyone who makes less than 75K a year will get a tax increase…yep, you and I and most of the country is going to see their taxes go up just to give more to the rich…just like here in Michigan where taxes were raised on retirees to give tax cuts to corporations who were supposed to create jobs with it but it never happened….and that is the same nonsense that the repubs are using to justify this giveaway to the rich…that it will magically create jobs…even when damn near every ceo asked said that the tax cut wouldn’t do a thing to create jobs…but it would give them a nice pay raise. When can we get back to actual facts being used to set policy instead of ideology? When we vote the repubs out…
