Well…today’s the day for the second round of the repub debates and I am not sure if I am looking forward to them or not…and the reason for that is that it is a no cocktail night and I usually need at least a few cocktails to be able to tolerate them at all…but, it may be fun anyway just to watch who screws up since none of them are too bright…and, I am a little interested to see who tries to out-Trump Trump by veering way to the right. The one thing I don’t understand is why no one tries to stake out the center…okay, less right positions that have a little compassion on immigration and that recognize that giving everything to the rich is just not sustainable…I know, the base primary voters won’t buy any of that but it would seem that there would be a way to lie to them to make them support a candidate that is pretending to be in the center…after all, they lie to the base all the time and they just keep eating it up and voting for these idiots…yeah, idiots electing idiots and the dems not voting has gotten us to where we are…so it has been successful for the repubs….hope not this time…make some popcorn, this might be good….geez…

This is what you’ll get with ole Scotty…
Well…as much as I hate the smarmy Scott Walker, I hate him even more today as he told an audience yesterday what he will do to labor when he is elected president…if you hate unions and the great things they have done to lift workers into the middle class..you are going to just love this idiots plan to make the entire US into a right to work country, to take the right to organize and bargain for pay and benefits from all federal workers, and make it almost impossible for unions to stay certified….yep…we now hear the Koch brothers coming through loud and clear with this crap…my question to ole Scotty is: Why do you hate US workers so much? All this coming from a guy who has never held a real job in his life..since his early 20’s, ole Scotty has been in government of some form…never once having to actually work for a living like union members do…how anyone can listen to this idiot talk about destroying the middle class and still vote for him? I know, they have the rubes snowed somehow so they just keep voting against their own interests….I am just glad this moron will never be president…geez…
Bye, bye, Rick….
Well…the clown car is one person emptier today as Rick Perry has quit the race for the repub nomination…and I can’t be happier that this moron is out of the race…and even funnier is his parting comment that the repub field is the “strongest in generations”..okay, I am just laughing my butt off about that one…strong compared to him maybe but strong? When Donald Trump is the leader in the field and the rest of them are just idiots is not the definition of strong…delusional maybe, but not strong or any semblance of it…now, I am just waiting for ole Scotty to get out after the Kochs decide that he can’t win either…going to be a fun month or so….
Magical thinking…
Well…ole JEB! just came out with his tax plan he will enact if he is elected….okay, I know you laughed at that one…and that is something else we are going to laugh at since it is filled with magical thinking and based on the discredited economics that blew up the deficit under ole GW. The entire plan is just more and more tax cuts for business and the rich and makes the assumption (disproved many, many times) that cutting taxes raises revenue; the old Laffer curve nonsense that even Saint Ronnie had to abandon after the deficits exploded…he was even sane enough to follow the evidence after the cuts and to understand that the only way to raise revenue is to raise taxes…something that this new crop of repubs just won’t do with their stupid pledges to Grover Norquist to never raise taxes. I don’t wonder why ole JEB!’s tax plan looks just like his idiot brother’s…they were the fevered dreams of the same set of advisers so with JEB!, you get 4 more years of ole GW…and we know how well that worked out…geez….
The circus continues…
Well…I’m sure you’ve heard about the clerk in Kentucky who was jailed for contempt of court when she refused to issue marriage licenses to gay couples citing her “religious freedom” and the elevation of this bigot to hero status for the right…and the circus continues today with Ted Cruz and Mike Huckabee organizing a rally to support her bigotry and hate. I guess this is to be expected since these folks don’t have any idea what the constitution says or means…the first amendment and it’s protections of religious freedom DOES NOT mean that you are free to impose your religious views on others…and that is what this case is about…this religious zealot trying to impose her interpretation of faith on the entire county by not issuing and ordering her deputies to not issue marriage licenses to gay couples…that’s it…she is free to practice her religion and not marry a woman, but she is not free to tell anyone else how to live their lives…it would be the same thing as if a Muslim person, working for the county, refused to grant a restaurant a license if they are going to serve pork ribs, in accordance to his religion…or one working for the DMV refusing to give a driver’s license to woman since his sect says women shouldn’t drive. You get my drift here…and there should never be any type of “religious accommodation” that would allow these bigots to continue to collect their pay and not do their jobs…if it means that much to them, quit, and go live your religious live somewhere else….I have no tolerance for these people any more…geez…
Rick Scott is a liar and an idiot…
Well…okay…I do have to get more creative in my titles here…I know that but just reading an article about the latest nonsense out of Florida made the title seem just so appropriate….as you know, the latest thing in the minds of repubs is that Planned Parenthood needs to be shut down because some anti abortion group faked some videos that made it look like they were doing something illegal…and, it looks like repub legislators were colluding with this hate group in ginning up this outrage,,,and now, after many state investigations, there has not been one instance where PP was found to not be following the law…and this was the same in Florida but that didn’t stop ole Rick from taking the results of the investigation and changing them to make it look like they found something and then forced the investigators to say that all of the doctors that worked there were going to be investigated, too….in my day, political nonsense like this would result in a resignation of the idiot Scott…but, to Florida, it’s just business as usual and nothing will happen…what the hell happened to honesty in this country…especially from the right where lying seems to be a requirement for their politicians? How do they live with themselves? Easily, it appears…geez…
Now they’re scaring children…
Well…of course it’s a repub…again…and it’s not enough that the repubs scare adults into voting for them by lying about the world and the dangers there, now, they are going after children…a pure asshole, Matt Salmon, a rep from Arizona destroyed the innocence of a group of 2nd and third graders last Friday at their school where he was invited to speak about the legislative process and couldn’t help but go the the repubs fear talking points asking these little kids if they were aware that there are child suicide bombers and that there are schools that train kids their age to be suicide bombers? Even before that, this idiot went on a rant on nuclear weapons and the Iran agreement before the teacher in the class room reacted and cut him off. What the hell is wrong with these repub assholes? Most of these kids don’t even know the concept of suicide and they sure don’t need to know that kids their age are failed by adults who encourage them to be murderers….I am just appalled by this kind of crap where everything these repub assholes do has to be connected to their warped ideology and hate….this is the modern repub party, folks….look and learn….geez…
Religion intrudes….again…
Well…have been following the case of the country clerk in Kentucky who has been refusing to issue marriage licenses to gay couples because…Religion…even after the supreme court told her to stop that crap. In fact, every court that she has ended up in has told her to do her job or resign..that the first amendment doesn’t give her the right to impose her religious views on her county or any individual…just what she is trying to do by denying these gay couples licenses….and she admits that by saying god is the law she is following and that it trumps the supreme court…now, you’ve heard me rant about this before…that the fundies are no different than the Taliban or other religious fundamentalists…all groups who want to impose their interpretation of supposed holy books on everyone…even those that don’t believe. I’m sure in her vows of office, she promised to uphold the constitution and she should be removed from office and held in contempt if she won’t do her job…updates later…
Scott Walker is still an idiot…
Well…I know, this is like shooting fish in a barrel but I just have to do it after ole Scotty’s latest bit of genius…in case you haven’t heard, ole Scotty was trying to burnish his immigration credentials the other day and came up with just the greatest comment…he thinks that we should consider building a wall on our border with Canada…yep, a 5,500 mile wall with our northern neighbor to do what? Keep out the Canadians? Why the hell would they want to come here? Especially into Wisconsin? I am, as always, amazed at how stupid this guy is…and we’ve all seen that he can’t answer any question on the fly…and the only reason he got re-elected is that the Wisconsin media is in the tank for the repubs there and the Koch’s wallets were wide open…it is good to see that the latest polls in Iowa show him with only 8% of the votes there…I think once he gets the national media attention that is coming, he is going to implode just like sister Sarah…where do the repubs find so many dumb people to run? In my day, this guy would have been a dog catcher at best…what a maroon….geez…
Dick Cheney is still an idiot…and wrong, as always..
Well…ole Dick has crawled out from under his rock to put his two cents in on the Iran agreement…and, as you already know whenever he opens his mouth, he is wrong….he starts off his screed by saying that Obama is lying to the world about the agreement and it will guarantee that Iran will have the bomb like next week and will use it as soon as they get it for the first time since Hiroshima…yadda yadda….is anyone else tired of this idiot still being listened to? After all, he was wrong about everything in the middle east for 8 frickin years and lied his ass off to get us into the war that will end up costing 6 trillion dollars…so why would anyone that is not under Obama derangement syndrome believe him now? I guess the superman Obama is using his mind control over the negotiators in Russia, Germany, China, and the rest of the people in the agreement to make sure they don’t see his lies and his plans to hand over all of our nuclear weapons to Iran…and, after that, he is going to give the keys to the White House to Iran, too, as he implements the secret Muslim plans he has been working on since he was born. That is just how ridiculous ole Dick is…go climb back under your rock, Dick…and be thankful you’re not under arrest in the Hague…geez…
