Well…have been reading quite a few articles that talk about how the pundits on the right are attacking ole Trump since he ‘doesn’t represent the republican party’s values”…and then I just have to laugh my butt off….what values are they talking about? Gutting Social Security? Hating everyone that is not a christian or white? Taking away healthcare from millions? Giving the rich more and more of the country? Having more and more guns everywhere? Closing the border to Muslims? Cheating to win elections? I hate to break it to the pundits….this is EXACTLY the repub party these days….the Donald is channeling the id of the party and has taken what were dog whistles and turned them into shouts and made it acceptable to bring all the meanness and hatred to the surface for all to see…so the next time you say this isn’t “your” repub party you are either stupid or lying…or both….just stfu…..

Still trying….
Well….I have been trying all day…again…to find a topic that will mean something…well…to me anyway…and I am still not having much luck….I do find it funny that the ultimate birther king, ole Donald has turned his sighst on Ted Cruz since he wasn’t born in the US…using the same methods he always uses to make his lies sound like there may be a grain of truth in them…the old “some people are saying” that Ted isn’t a citizen…just like he said “some people saw” thousands of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating on 9/11 when that wasn’t true either…but, I do relish the fact that he is turning on the other idiots in the repub race…this is going to need some popcorn….I did find another thing funny with the Obamacare repeal bill that was sent to the president, and the repubs all patting themselves on the back for it; knowing it would be vetoed and thinking they were super geniuses for doing it. Are they going to try to run on it this year? Taking insurance away from 20 million people? Man, I can see the ads now and even I could write them…nice job, geniuses….geez…
It’s even worse than I thought in Flint…
Well…as you know, I did a post a few weeks back on the lead poisoning of the people of Flint when the first info came in that the water source was changed to just save money…a decision made by the Snyder appointed emergency manager…but, it’s much, much worse than that….these assholes knew they were poisoning the poor people in Flint and that they were taking care of it with water treatment when they just flat lied about it with a pattern of faking the water test results that would have exposed the danger. This is typical repub crap…make decisions based on cost when the guys making the decisions know they will hurt people….and they just don’t give a damn..especially when they can go home to their nice suburbs where the water and air are clean and it has no effect on them…the water in Flint was so bad the GM stopped using the water at their engine plant since it ruined iron engine blocks…read that again…Flint was saying that there was nothing wrong with drinking the water when it was eating away iron…what do you think it would do to a person? Typical repub crap and someone needs to go to jail for this….starting with the guy that appointed them..ole Rick Snyder..I’m glad there is now a federal investigation going on and I’m sure they will find that Snyder knew what was going on…but he will use the Chris Christie defense that he didn’t know what the people he appointed were doing….and that will be a lie…geez…
Typical republicans…
Well…as I do these things every day, I just shake my head at the shameless repubs and the damage they are causing to the US. The latest one is a huge gift to their corporate masters and VW in particular by changes to the class action suit that would make it almost impossible to continue to hold corporations responsible for their misconduct and the individual damage they do to consumers. In VW’s case, the damage was done to people who bought their cars and saw the value of them destroyed by the emissions cheating that VW admitted to….but the repubs want the class action suit laws changed to say that you have to have actual physical damage to be able to file suit and that every case has to have the same physical damage to be granted class action status…so that would mean that if VW made a car that had defective brakes and lots of people got into accidents and were injured, it couldn’t be considered for class action unless everyone broke the same arm or had the same ribs broken; something that would never happen in the real world. This is your modern repub party folks…protect the corporate “people” and screw the real ones…
Armed “thugs”
Well…I am shaking my head about the response to the armed, white, right wing thugs who have taken over a federal building in Oregon…now, if these were black guys, they would all be dead and the building would be burned to the ground to get to them. Where were the “christians” that should have turned them in like the Muslims do? Look, I have had just about enough of these militia assholes being able to break whatever laws they want while the sheriff says he’s “studying” the situation. How many felonies does it take for anyone to take action? This is a direct result of letting them get away with threatening federal officers at the Bundy ranch and one of the organizers is even Cliven Bundy’s son, so the direct thread is there for anyone to see if they just open their damn eyes. All of this from the “law and order” folks that scream bloody murder about anyone in the “inner city” committing a crime, but then think they are above the law when they are committing theirs….geez…
These idiots are always wrong…
Well…as you’ve heard me say before, whenever anyone on the right predicts something, you can be sure that the opposite will happen or, at the very least, they will be wrong. Just read an article that has a few laughers in it that I thought I’d pass on…to start off, we had a real, sitting senator, Mike Lee, go on the senate floor before the 2012 election and predict that if Obama was re-elected, gas prices would be at least $6.05 a gallon or even higher by 2015…now, I can’t remember that happening, can you? The second great prediction came from ole Mitt during the election campaign when he said that, if Obama was re-elected, unemployment would be stuck at 8% forever…now, not sure exactly what the rate is right now but I think it’s around 5%…wrong again idiots. Then we have the Donald predicting that, if Obama was re-elected, stocks would crash and the country would go broke…what did happen? Hmmmmm…the stock market is up 27% since the election…..wrong again, idiots. The last one is by ole Rushbo who confidently predicted that the economy was going to crash with the Dem run California declaring bankruptcy and taking the rest of the economy with it. Now, this one is a two fer with ole Rush being wrong on both points…California, with it reality-based economic policies, is now running a 4 billion dollar surplus and we’ve had years of growth in the economy…the chief idiot being really, really wrong…but, they all are…all the time…and no one calls them on it…the media has to get off it’s ass and start asking these questions…would be fun to watch…geez….
Don’t want to write about Trump…
Well….most of the time, I really don’t know what the hell the Donald is talking about and that makes it hard to comment on…but, this past week, talking about the tragedy in San Bernadino, ole Donald went off about the Muslin culture saying that there were people that knew what the killers were going to do…that they saw “the bombs all over the floor” but no one said anything about it…and he goes on to lament that no one “turned them in” and he blamed all Muslims everywhere…lets turn that around a little to the Donald’s buddies in the financial community who crashed the economy…probably Donald himself…who saw what was going on and no one in that “culture” “turned them in”…or the white supremacists who knew what Dylan Roof was going to do and no one in that “culture” “turned him in”….this is just the typical racist crap that Trump spouts every day to gin up outrage in his racist followers….in fact, almost every time that someone from the Muslim “culture” is arrested for a terrorist plot, they were ‘turned in” by other Muslims…..so let’s just stop listening to this idiot…I’ll do my part by not writing about him anymore…geez…
Tamir Rice….
Well….try as I might, I just can’t come up with a political topic…one terrible thing that happened just a little while ago is that they are not going to charge the cops that shot Tamir Rice…I wonder how they can get away with that…a 12 year old kid standing in the park, the cops roll up and shoot him in less than three seconds…and lied their asses off about it and they don’t get charged? I guess we saw this coming when the prosecutor started dumping on the kid and his family and leaking details that were lies to poison the grand jury pool…and, this guy is still not in the slammer? I just have no words about this crap that seems to happen every day here in the US…..shoot first, cover it up and lie seems to be in all the police training manuals across this country…and that makes me sick…..geez….
Fear and more fear…
Well…have been reading a little today and on subject kept popping up as I did…fear…and how scared people are about life in general like everything is out to get them. Whether it’s Islamic terrorists or everyday crime, I am shaking my head how people who are polled are so mistaken about the likelihood of being killed by terrorists or being the victim of crime….and the rates are not high…with regular crime at it’s lowest rate in history, the chances of being a victim is lower than ever…like one half the chance of being struck by lighting, and yet we have people arming themselves to the teeth since the fear mongers that profit by that fear have convinced us we are just one minute away from being in a Mad Max movie. On the terror front….the chance of being killed by a Muslim terrorist here in the states is almost unmeasurable yet the repubs shake in their boots and spread fear and more fear since it’s all they have…I, for one, am not afraid of terrorists at all….I’m more concerned with everyone carrying guns around me and the idiots who text and drive….you are much more likely to be killed by one of those idiots than by terrorists…so, everyone, get a frickin grip and stop being such a pussy….geez…
Carly Fiorina is either a liar or just plain stupid…
Well…the repub presidential candidates have show themselves all to be liars, but one stands out in the crowd by being the best liar or just plain stupid. Carly Fiorina started her jaw dropping lies with the whopper that she saw a video that showed PP taking live babies and selling them for their parts…never taking that one back when it was a proven to be a lie….but now, she continues with a newer, better, and more delusional lie from the last debate this week. During the debate she rattled off a bunch of retired generals who she said were “retired” by Obama for telling him what he didn’t want to hear…two of the generals, Petreus, and McChrystal, were forced out for misconduct and one of the remaining, Jack Keane, retired in 2003, five years before Obama even took office and commented that he has never even spoken to Obama…but, did that stop ole Carly? Nope, she said that she didn’t “misspeak”, and that means she meant to tell this lie and didn’t give a damn that it’s not true….we all know that ole Carly is a liar, now we can also say that she is just plain stupid to go with it…geez…
