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…
The clown car stops in Vegas…
Well…as you know, I couldn’t bring myself to watch the creepiness that was the repub debate in Vegas last night but there were a few takeaways the came up in the news feeds this morning…the first one I’ve commented on before…the Donald’s vow that he would commit war crimes if elected by going after and killing the families of ISIS members…isn’t there a law against threatening a war crime? Isn’t that terrorism in itself? After this low point, the night degenerated into a talking point showdown…and the general consensus by pundits is that none of the people on the stage are presidential material….and that none of them can ever get elected…so, I think they should all just grift away and make money from the rubes that they lie to every day….I think that’s the purpose of most of them running anyway…or they truly are delusional and that is even worse…geez…
The repub debate…
Well…didn’t know if you knew, but there is another repub debate tonight…okay, I should have said didn’t know if you cared….I was going to do one about that but I just frickin can’t…how can anyone listen to these losers without wanting to tear your ears off so you don’t have to hear it anymore…Muslims bad, Obama worse, tax cuts, tax cuts….close the borders…built a 10 mile high wall…ISIS, ISIS, ISIS….we’re all gonna die! Yeah….I just can’t take it anymore…hope you can’t either…going back to the couch to watch tv….and no debate….
Nathan Deal is the new worst person in the world….
Well….it any of you out there are from Georgia, I really do have pity on you for your asshole of a governor. If you haven’t heard this prick signed an executive order saying that no one that deals in social services for the state of Georgia can give aid to Syrian refugees…including the food stamp program that is paid for by the feds. Not only is this illegal, and I hope the feds get right on taking this asshole to court for this illegality…but, it is also one of the most immoral and reprehensible things I have ever heard of…to single out a family who is legally allowed to come here and basically say “you can just starve” is not what America is about…maybe in the repubs world of fear and nastiness….since they have been doing that to American citizens in every state that they control….but not in our world, not in the world of compassion that their bible tells them to make either…but, I know the prick will be in the pews on Sunday being the hypocriitcal, useless POS that he is…and the rest of the “Christians” will be patting him on the back for his “principled” stand on heaping more hurt on people who have already lost everything…easily the worst person in the world…geez…
Oh Canada…
Well…with all of the posturing and bigotry by the repubs here regarding the Syrian refugees and their repeated attempts to make it harder for them to settle here, we only have to look to our north to see how the refugee crisis should be handled. You know I’ve talked about the Canadians before and how much I like and respect them for their good nature and resonableness…and yesterday was no exception. When the Syrian refugees that are going to settle in Canada arrived there yesterday, guess what he response was….not fear, not loathing, not bigotry like they see here in the US but a welcome from the prime minister in person who said “you are home” as he met them. This is the newly elected liberal PM Trudeau not the conservative ass that held the office before. What the hell is wrong with us when we can’t do that? Where is the “American exceptionalism” that the right goes on and on about? For a country with a 10th of our population and economy the Canadians are taking on more than double the refugees that we have committed to and that is just shameful…what would be a better way to show the world we care about something more than war than to do everything we can to help refugees from around the world? I salute our neighbors to the north for showing us what it means to be human at a time where we appear to have lost our way.
This IS the republican party…
Well…it is too laugh when all of the so called “establishment” repubs run to the media to complain about the Donald’s racist, homophobic, idiotic rhetoric…nope, can’t even call it rhetoric, since that would imply that there is some logic there…when there is only a foaming pit of hate. But, this is just what the repubs have been fomenting for the past 30 years but doing it in a “nicer” form with the dog whistles of “states rights” and “religious liberty” which translated mean institutional, government sponsored bigotry against anyone that doesn’t believe as they do…that every Muslim is a terrorist and every gay should be stoned to death since being gay is against “god’s law”. Now, we see the distilled essence of the repub brand being exposed by the Donald and supported by this base of ignorant haters who have been whipped into a frenzy for so long that it had to blow at some point. I really do hope the Donald gets the nomination…and we crush this nastiness that is the repubs into the dirt….it is just so un-American to want to do harm to you fellow citizens…oh, not for the repubs, I forgot…they don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves…geez…
The money is there…
Well….just watched the Daily Show with Jon Stewart as guest where he was visiting the senate to try to get them to re-approve the funding for healthcare for the 9/11 first responders…now, you know how I feel about the hero worship that cops and firemen get in this country…some deserved, some not, but when they are injured on the job, it is our duty to take care of them especially when there is clear data that connects the cancers and respiratory disease they are experiencing to their work at the WTC. The thing that just galled me when they talked to Rob Portman, a senator from Ohio, was that he talked about paying for the bill, that they needed to offset the costs by cuts elsewhere….hey, Rob, I got a cut for you….take a few billions out of the bloated military budget…you know, one frickin destroyer less would pay for it…and then some…the most poignant thing from that show was the panel that was there 5 years ago trying to get this funding passed…which had 4 first responders and Jon on it….now has three empty chairs for the guys that have died or whose health has deteriorated so much they couldn’t travel….what the hell is wrong with us? Billions to bomb but no money to take care of our own? This is the modern republican, folks…geez…
