Well…I wonder what must it be like to be inside ole ted Cruz’s head today…when it is looking more and more like he will lose the nomination to the Donald tomorrow…and ole Ted was just sure that he was going to be president and that he was by far the best person for it….this is going to be a massive case of cognitive dissonance and it is going to be fun to watch him try to accept that no one wanted him other than the other religious nuts out there. Now poor Teddy is going to have to go back to the senate that is going to be controlled by the dems and try to stuff his huge ego back inside that small, small building….I, for one, am going to revel in seeing his certainty shattered and see him walk off the national stage…good riddance, Teddy….

Short and funny…
Well…yeah, I know it looks like I’m just trying to make sure I make the goal for the month but this little article I just read made me laugh out loud…as you know, John Boehner made the comment the he thinks the Ted Cruz is Lucifer embodied…and now, in a predictable reaction, a few of the satanist organizations in the US are taking offense with that comparison, saying that comparing Satan to Ted Cruz or saying that he is Lucifer disparages Satan and they won’t stand for it and want an apology…yeah, I know, this whole complaint is pretty tongue in cheek but I still think it’s pretty funny….not sure if there is a more hated person in the US….even more than Satan…yow….
More NC…
Well…I know I’ve written about North Carolina an their stupid bill that allows discrimination against the LGBT community…that’s stupid enough that they passed this thing, but with the financial fallout reaching almost a hundred million dollars and counting, you would think that the idiot legislators there would have some feeling for the people who are losing their jobs just so the extremists there can hate…but you would be wrong to think that…just the other day, one of the chief haters responsible for the legislation just blew at the question of job and financial losses, just saying that he basically didn’t give a damn if “liberal” companies left the state and that tourists stopped coming…completing that thought with the real reason for the bill…to keep NC “straight” not to protect women as they lied the reason for it was…typical repub asshollery….they don’t care about anyone’s job but their own….I don’t like it when people lose their jobs but they elected these clowns…maybe now they will think about who they vote for…geez…
This is too funny…
Well…as you know if you have read anything about Ted Cruz, that he is one of the most hated people who has ever been elected to Congress…and this was borne out today with comments when John Boehner was asked his opinion of ole Ted…and, this is a direct quote… “Lucifer in the flesh”…”I never worked with a more miserable son of a bitch in my life…and I have been able to get along with most everyone…” that just made me laugh out loud…I wonder how “Lucifer in the flesh…and the most miserable son of a bitch” would get along with the rest of the government if he got elected? Never mind that he would be in charge of foreign policy and dealing with the rest of the world…he can’t even get along with anyone here so why would he be any better at that? I am just laughing how ole Ted thinks that people hate him because he fights against Washington and the “establishment”…he is hated because he is a sanctimonious asshole….nothing more than that….geez…
Dennis Hastert and “family values”…
Well…after getting the car situation straightened out, that leaves me time to come back here and do one of these today….there have been many things happen over the past couple of days that have left me both laughing and shaking my head…where to start? Oh,let’s go with Dennis Hastert getting sentenced to prison for violating banking rules to pay off one of the kids he molested while a high school teacher…yep, the “family values” repub who led the charge to impeach Clinton for his hanky panky with an adult woman has admitted that he is a serial child molester…and the really sick thing is that all of his cronies that were in the house at the time, including Tom DeLay have written to the judge saying what a good citizen he is and to plead for leniency…only in repub world is a child molester a good citizen…just another example where the repubs don’t think the law applies to them and that “family values” trump being a pedophile….not sure if I should add anything else to this…nope, I’ll let this one stand on it’s own…but I will change the title…
Adding insult to injury…
Well….I know I’ve used this title before, but it fits this post so well I thought I’d use it again…after all there are only so many new titles…as you know…as everyone should know, the emergency manager that was appointed to oversee Flint and it’s water supply tried to save some money buy not spending the $100 a day to treat the acidic water and keep it from eating away the lead pipes and poisoning people. That would have resulted in a cost of about $36,000 a year to keep people safe…but that was just too much for Darnell Early, the idiot that made that decision….after all, austerity is one of the tenets of the repub religion that values money above all else. Well…ole Darnell is back after being removed as the Detroit Public Schools emergency manager…where he slithered after poisoning Flint…and now, he is adding insult to injury to the people of Flint by trying to charge them for his $750 an hour lawyer he needs to fight the criminal charges that he faces….now, you’ve heard of chutzpah before…but this guy’s face should be beside the definition in the dictionary…..and he shouldn’t get a damn dime…what other criminal gets the organization he worked for to pay for defense of his criminal actions? Not another dime out of my taxes for this idiot….geez…
Just some stuff….
Well…another day…and another problem with coming up with a topic for the day…I have done almost 4,500 of these so I guess that would begin to be a problem….I did read a little more of the David Koch interview where he is whining about the tone of the repub candidates and the party in general…laughed a bit a that one since he and his brother are basically responsible for what the repub party has become…the anti science, and anti everyone who is not straight and white party….the only thing I have to say to ole Dave is “you built that”….not really any more politics right now that interests me so I won’t write about it…..we do need to put the kibosh on the pie fight between Hillary and Bernie soon….Bernie can’t win so he needs to be gracious and start working on policy that can realistically be achieved with Hillary as president….and then we start looking for the VP candidate that would help put us over the top….I would love that to be Elizabeth Warren but I’m not sure where her talents would be better spent….she would probably bring along a lot of the Bernie supporters and we can sure use that…and then Bernie can take over pushing financial reform that she is doing now…hmmm….that could be a topic…for later….not now…
If the repubs lose the Kochs, what do they have left?
Well…following the batshit insane antics of the repub candidates, I thought I’d heard everything, but no, today I heard something that I never thought I’d hear…one of the Koch brothers saying that Hillary would be a better president than any of the repubs that are running. Yep, one of the most insane conservative billionaires in this country thinks that Trump and Cruz have gone too far even for him…from databases of Muslims, to “watching” Muslim neighborhoods, to building a wall on our southern border is too much for the Kochs, when they have no problems spending millions of dollars so that Cleveland couldn’t raise money for it’s zoo…or any one of the rest of the nuttiness they support. Now, that is saying something when the repubs have gone so far off the rails that David Koch thinks you are nuts and won’t spend any money to support you…but that is where the repubs are now…I would say ‘jumped the shark” but that is way too mild for what has happened…maybe “drunk the gasoline”…I’ll have to think a while to come up with the perfect description…what do the repubs have left if they have lost the Kochs? Not much….more later…
Shredding the constitution in Oklahoma…
Well…I am so damned tired of the repubs talking out of both sides of their mouths when it comes to the constitution…always waving copies in peoples faces and saying how much they revere it, and then going back to the legislatures they control and passing blatantly unconstitutional laws. This is happening across the country wherever repubs are in control…from NC to Mississippi and now Oklahoma where the latest these idiots have done is pass a law taking the medical licenses away from any doctor who performs an abortion…yeah, a perfectly legal procedure is being criminalized by idiots that just don’t understand that federal law trumps state law….this from a state that can’t educate it’s kids because of the tax cuts they have given to the rich and crying that there just isn’t any money left, but they have no problem spending millions to defend this blatantly illegal law. What the hell is wrong with the repubs in this country? When did they get so stupid? I just can’t understand why anyone votes for these idiots who obviously don’t have a clue how government works…I just can’t believe this crap….geez…
The rats are even deserting Brownback…
Well….you know the old saw that the states are the “laboratories of democracy”….if they are, the Kansas lab just blew up. You know that they have been implementing the whole wish list of tea party economics there with tax cuts for business that were supposed to increase revenues for the state? As the rest of us know, this “voodoo” economics doesn’t work…never has and never will…and the tax elimination for the almost 400,000 businesses and farmers there did absolutely nothing to create jobs…leaving Kansas 43rd out of 50 states in that measure. The latest studies there found that almost all of the tax cut money went right into the pockets of those getting the tax cuts…not used to expand business or hire since Kansas has the same problem the rest of the country has, a lack of demand and no business is going to hire or expand when there is no excess demand…and expansion follows increasing demand not proceeds it. So, the only thing these tax cuts have done, as they have done across the country, is to starve Kansas of the money it needs to educate it’s children, and pay for the services that are necessary for the state to run. Some of the repubs in Kansas, (the ones that are not too blinded by ideology) have started to revolt against the decimation that these tax cuts have wrought and are starting to float the idea that maybe they were wrong, that maybe they will have to raise taxes to fund the bare necessities of government so that Kansas is not the third world backwater that the repubs have made it…probably not but we can hope for the people of Kansas…geez…
