Well….just saw an add by the fricking NRA that basically says that if Hillary is elected, everyone is going to die by crininals since she will take away everyone’s guns….and that is just such a huge lie that it pisses me off….not once has Hillary or anyone else on the left said they are going to “take away people’s guns”…they do say that some sensible gun regulation is needed…like background checks that over 80% of the American people support and only the guns everywhere crazies are against. But, when did the truth ever matter to the right and the NRA? Never….I think the NRA should be labeled a terrorist organization since they and their guns everywhere crap is responsible for many more deaths in the US every year than all of the terrorists attacks that have ever happened on US soil….that is the definition of terror…geez…

Deplorables…
Well…unless you’ve been avoiding the news lately, you’ve heard about the controversy where Hillary called Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables” and with what we have seen since he started his campaign, the statement is mostly true. In it, she said that half of Trump’s supporters were deplorable for the violence and hatred they show…and being part of the “white supremacist” movement that wants the US reserved for just white people. But, I think I agree with what Keith Olbermann said on his webcast this morning that it is not true that half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable…it is 100% of Trump supporters that are deplorable. Anyone who could still follow and vote for any candidate who has said what Trump has said, is deplorable…and this deplorableness is highlighted at every Trump rally…just look the one in SC where one of his supporters sucker punched a 69 year old female protester….and at the same rally, another supporter grabbed and beat another protester inside the rally…and guess who got ejected…certainly not the violent Trump supporter…and this is the definition of deplorable….and it needs to be shouted that anyone who supports Trump IS deplorable….geez….
This is a “real” American?
Well…I am getting really tired of this BS….just the other day another one of the supposed “real” Americans threatened Hillary Clinton’s life by saying that “blood will flow in the streets” if she is elected. And this didn’t come from just any Joe Schmoe…this came for the frickiing governor of Kentucky…the idiot tea partier Matt Bevin. Now, advocating violence against the government or the president is called sedition and this idiot has certainly committed it and now the justice department needs to do their jobs to see if he is connected to the white supremacist groups that regularly spout this crap and murder people…that would be conspiracy and it is another felony. Where the hell do these idiots get off constantly wrapping themselves in the flag and then in the same breath egg their followers on to destroy the country if they don’t get their way? And, of course, these remarks were delivered at the Values Voters summit…the thinly disguised convention of hate where every repub spoke over the weekend to groups that overtly push hate of minorities, gays, immigrants and everyone else who is not a white evangelical….some religion you got there…Jesus sure wouldn’t recognize it….geez…
Here’s a scandal for you….
Well…I think it is a conscious plan for the right to make up lots of fake scandals so when a real one comes along, no one will notice. Luckily, someone did notice this one…a real one, and did a story on it last week. As you know, the right would love a country where companies can pollute as much as they want and push the cost on to the taxpayers when cleanup time comes…and that any environmental regulation is a “job killer” that has to be stopped by any means possible. To the repubs, that means suing the government any time we try to do anything to improve the environment…but this time the suits against the new carbon regulations have a buried little scandal that no one is talking about….before any repub state AG filed any suits against the new regulations, they met with all of the usual suspects to plan strategy…and that means coal companies, oil companies and every other one that poisons the people for profit. It was also revealed that these AG’s received millions of dollars in political contributions….and, of course, this didn’t have any bearing on whether the suits were brought (snark)….but, the worst part is since these repub state AG’s are bringing the suit, you and I are paying for it…yep, our taxes are paying to sue our own government to allow companies to poison us…and the companies walk away with their only cost being the donations to the repubs, not the true costs of the suits which would be hundreds of times more cost to them. Pretty normal for the repubs…use government to reward their buddies while we pick up the tab…geez…
Now pneumonia?
Well…I am so damn tired of the media these days when they ignore the slush fund that is the Trump foundation that has been used illegally to make political donations and to secretly fund lawsuits against AG’s who sued the fake Trump University…and what do they focus on? Hillary has pneumonia…every network, every news show…wall to wall today about a common sickness and the effects she showed from it. Of course, the right wing slant in the media is that having pneumonia disqualifies her from the presidency…and that has already morphed into: “what is she hiding about her health”….now, I’ve had pneumonia and the symptoms I had mirrored what Hillary had…the long term cough that drags on and then the rest manifests in quickly declining…it put me in the hospital in the course of one night after walking around with it for a couple of weeks…and yes, you do feel weak…I hit the floor after getting off the bed getting ready to go to the hospital….the really sick part is that there is no sympathy for her feeling bad…just the normal Clinton conspiracy crap that is constantly floated by the right….while Trump continues to lie, cheat, and steal and not a word about it in the press….I fear for this country if the media continues on this path….geez…
Shame on you, Matt Lauer…
Well…not sure if you watched the debacle of the commander in chief forum last night, I did watch part of it and all I have to say is shame on you Matt Lauer. What a poor excuse for moderating this idiot did…the difference in how he treated Hillary vs. Trump was just stunning…going on for almost half of Hillary’s time about the stupid e-mail “controversy” that has been ginned up by Fox news with Matt interrupting Hillary constantly and showing her no respect at all…but when ole Trump came on, it was an ass kissing festival where Lauer let Trump lie and lie and lie and never called him on any of them…even the easily proven lies; never interrupting Trump once…just letting him go on and on spewing his ignorant nonsense and basically kissing Putin’s ass through the whole thing…lavishing praise on his “leadership”…when his “leadership” meant the murder of thousands and causing a war in the Ukraine. The ironic thing here is that he treated Hillary like some kind of criminal when she has never been charged or convicted of anything but completely ignoring the bribes, bankruptcies, and cheating that Trump does on a regular basis…along with the scam school of Trump U whose only purpose was to steal money from the rubes. I have lost all respect for Matt Lauer and think he should just go back to fluff pieces on Today…he has shown that he doesn’t have what it takes for serious political journalism…shame on you Matt Lauer…geez…
Not going to watch…
Well…have been feeling better today after being kind of queasy for the entire weekend so I thought I’d do one now and maybe another later….the first big event for both candidates is tonight and I’m not going to watch it…it’s a serial forum on military matters and I know for a fact that Trump doesn’t know anything about that so there is no need to watch…and we all know Hillary’s views so there will be no surprise there…and, I can’t stand the sound of Trump’s voice….it makes me ill just to hear him mangle the English language….oh, I did want to talk just a little about another…not sure if I can call it a flip flop by Trump since he really doesn’t seem to have any positions that last longer that a sentence…but, earlier in the campaign ole Trump said that he knows more about Isis than any of the generals in our armed forces…and then yesterday he said that he would let the generals plan how to attack them….this is the frustrating thing that I will keep harping on until the election…not one reporter called him on it or asked any follow ups….. and Trump gets to go his merry, delusional way….geez…
Just trying…
Well…not sure why I am not creative at all when I don’t feel well but you can see it with me missing post number two the past few days….now, there is one thing that just makes me furious with my fellow Americans…over 40% of them want the idiot Trump to be president…just let that sink in for a while….that there are millions of people that have bought the fox news bs so totally that they could run a Saint Bernard and they would vote for it…..I am at a loss why that could be other than they really enjoy hate and they really do hate gays, AA’s, and anyone that has a thought that is to the left of Ghengis Khan….I wonder what it would be like to live in that world? Now, I used to be angry quite a bit, but it was a righteous anger aimed at the inequities and stupidity in the world…and mostly at the idiot GW since he did so much damage to this country…damage that would look like a tea party compared to what Trump would do…but, I got better over time and I find myself more bemused most of the time since I realize that there isn’t a damn thing I can do about anything….much easier on my psyche….
The DeVos family buy themselves a legislature…
Well…are you as damned tired of the DeVos family buying themselves laws here in Michigan as I am? Their latest interference in the basic operation of Michigan’s government came during the reform of the Detroit Public Schools that was working it’s way through the legislature in the spring, and included reform of the charter school laws that let basically any idiot start a school with no oversight. But, no, making the schools better by holding them responsible for outcomes is not part of these idiots ultra right wing, free market delusions…so, they did what they always do…they spread almost 2 million dollars around to the repubs through their charter school lobbying firm and poof, that pesky oversight was gone from the law…basically guaranteeing that the 50% of kids in Detroit who are enrolled in charter schools will get substandard educations…but, do they care? Hell no, as long as their cronies who run these for-profit schools get their cut of the tax money that supports them. Just another example where the repubs think that government is a tool to be used to push their agendas or to transfer more money from the taxpayers to the 1%…..I just hate the rich these days…they won’t even allow us to TRY to make things better for the majority….they can all go to hell….
This isn’t equivalent…
Well….with the news media trying it’s best to gin up some scandal about the Clinton Foundation, they are ignoring a real, true scandal happening at the Trump Foundation…a scandal that, if it happened by the efforts of the Clintons, would spawn a least a dozen congressional investigations. The particulars of the Trump scandal is that they actually laundered money through the foundation to bribe the AG of Florida to drop her investigation of Trump U….and the Trump folks admitted they did it and paid a fine…now, how are these two things equivalent? The Clinton Foundation gets the highest ranking by two different organizations that rate non-profits for it’s work and transparency, while the Trump slush fund makes illegal donations (bribes) and gives money to Trump’s cronies and the media treat it if they are doing the same things….who are running these news organizations to have them act this way? I am really tired of this crap going on….where the repubs can do whatever they want and never get called on it and then the media (I’m talking to you AP) fakes “scandals” that supposedly involve dems and run with those stories….geez…
