Well…I don’t know why the media is not screaming about the treason the repubs are going to do this week…lots of repub lawmakers are going to meet with reps from Orban of Hungary this week to “strategize” how to cut off funding for Ukraine and help Putin take over the country…yep, you heard that right…the repubs are openly working with the dictator Orban to do putin’s dirty work and help him in his illegal invasion of Ukraine…any one of them who attend this meeting should be arrested and charged with treason for giving “aid or comfort” to our enemy which is the literal definition of treason…and with this meeting they are conducting illegal foreign policy interference but they just don’t care about any laws anymore…where the hell is Merrick Garland in this? He should be making phone calls to these folks telling them that they will be breaking the law if they attend…and then following up with charging these assholes as soon as they do…this crap can’t stand…geez…

Trains!
Well…you know I’ve had a wish that there would be trains that I could use to get around the state and the rest of the country, but that is not going to happen in my lifetime but the Biden administration just earmarked almost 8 billion dollars to go for rail extensions and upgrades so many of the rails will qualify for high speed trains…I know this is a baby step but you have to start somewhere…and it would be so cool if I could walk down to the park down the hill and get on a train to GR for the day…but then you don’t have any way other than a car to get to the suburbs…when I was young they had busses that ran from GR to Ada and my mother took me to downtown GR when I was about 6 but not now….I really like the trains in the UK since every town had a train station and other forms of transport like the trams in Manchester or Dublin…or the underground in London…that would be cool to have intercity rail again like they did back in the 40′s and 50′s…oh, well…I can dream…
Equal protection under the law…
Well…I wonder why the ACLU is not use the tack of suing red states under the 14th amendment? That’s the one that states we have a right to equal protection under the law…and in red states minorities are still getting their votes thrown out or prevented at a rate significantly higher that for whites…and that sure isn’t equal protection under federal voting laws…it used to be that no matter where you lived, you had essentially the same rights…until the bought and purchased SC allowed unlimited money into politics and gutted women’s rights, voting rights, and the right to be safe from assholes with guns…so now, if you live in a red state, you have many less rights than you do in a blue state…and that is not equal protection under the law…not sure what can be done about it other than getting rid of the corrupt SC and all of the right wing judges who lied their asses off to get on the court…and we dems have to start shouting it…geez…
Bye, bye Kevvie…
Well…this little bit of news has me smiling…kevin mccarthy announced that he is resigning his House seat at the end of the year…and all I have to sat to that is don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…as the least effective speaker of the house in history and the only one to be removed from the post, this maga asshole supported and still supports the idiot trump and like most of the other maga assholes infesting the House, ole kevvie didn’t accomplish anything other than giving the rich and corporations tax cuts that is still damaging the economy….and trying to cripple the ACA and take health insurance away from 40 million Americans…so good riddance kevvie…leave today even, that would be better…geez
Comer does it again…
Well…damn, it seems like every day the idiot james comer breathlessly says he has found the “smoking gun” that will allow the house repubs to impeach Joe Biden, and every day it blows up in his face…on Monday he was over the right wing propaganda sites hyping his latest “proof” of corruption since he found that Hunter Biden’s company paid his father “monthly” payments of 1,380 dollars…yeah, about that…his company did pay monthly payments for 3 months in repayment of Joe making Hunter’s truck payments for 3 months…and they were paid when Joe wasn’t even in office and Hunter was broke…so Joe does what a good dad does and helps out his only remaining son…and this is all they have? Look, they have been looking for anything to smear Joe with for over a year now and have come up with nothing…how about the repubs just give it up and maybe do something for the people of this country? This is just so much bullshit…geez…
They are coming for your healthcare…again
Well…don’t the repubs ever learn? No they don’t so here we go again with them starting to spout off about repealing the ACA again…never mind they had years to do it after it was passed and they even had total control of the government for some of those years…and we know what damage the last “plan” would have done if it was passed…32 million people would have lost their insurance and those who didn’t get it through their employer would have seen the cost double immediately…oh, and let’s remember that that plan would have gutted pre-existing conditions protections and it even through in a tax cut for the rich because that is all the repubs do…and one other thing that the ACA has done is lower the uninsured rate from 18% down to a low of 7.2% which is a record low…and all of that is at risk because people on the left are pissed at Biden because he didn’t give them everything on their wish list or that he still supports Israel…and they are willing to throw away this country because Biden is “too old”…and I’m tired of these whiners…look, in politics change is usually incremental when you are working for the good of the people but, like with Roe being struck down, you can lose good things in an instant…and a vote for anyone but Biden is a vote for trump….geez…
Russian bots helped kill hundreds of thousands of Americans…
Well…when the covid pandemic just started, there was a blizzard of disinformation to get people to stop masking up and to not get vaccinated…Carnegie Mellon University did a study just recently where they analyzed over 200 million tweets spouting this bullshit and it was found that over 80% of them were from Russia… it was a Russian attack on the US and part of an organized plot designed to make the pandemic worse and kill Americans…and without the attack hundreds of thousands of Americans would still be alive…now, Russia needs to pay for this…and we need ways to keep them from electing the idiot trump again…which again, was another plot to hurt the US and do damage to our society and our standing in the world that Biden is just now repairing…it doesn’t help when one of our political parties is gladly spouting Russian propaganda every day and are getting paid of by the Russians…and they don’t care if they are Russia’s stooges….anything that gets them money and power is more important to them than the US…geez…
A few things…
Well…it’s another snowy day out here so I think I’ll just sit here in the warm and do a few of these…no big topic for today so I think I’ll just noodle a bit…first, George Santos was expelled from congress today and he is only the 6th person expelled in the country’s history…and he now faces 22 felony charges for fraud and theft and should end up in the slammer in the next year…oh, and 105 repubs voted to keep him in congress…the same ones who voted to try to overturn the election in 2020….and the party of “freedom”…yeah, that’s sarcasm now wants to have the government force you to use your legal name in the workplace and everywhere else…this piece of trash was put forth by one raphael (ted) cruz, but you could probably tell it was him since it just dripping with hate for trans people….no legislation to deal with problems that people need taken care of…just hate, hate, and more hate…what a stupid shit….oh, and one last shorty…a court has ruled that firing up a mob to attack the capital on January 6th was not part of idiot boy’s official duties so he can now be sued for it…someone get on it…geez…
Dems in charge…
Well…I think this might have flown under the radar after the announcement was put out a couple of days ago that legislation has been passed by the dems here in Michigan to go completely renewable for electricity generation by 2040…no more coal, oil, or gas and if the repubs were still in charge, we would still be building coal fired power plants even though they cost more than any renewable energy…it would just be a payoff to their big donors who pollute the state. This is what happens when you put intelligent people in charge of the government…no culture wars or other bullshit…just good legislation that benefits us all…okay, dems…now do taxing the rich and let’s fund our schools and take care of those here in Michigan who need help…geez…
Why is this a surprise?
Well…damn, how obtuse does the media have to get before the owners do something about it? Or I wonder if it is because of the owners like Bezos that the media has gotten so stupid? Just yesterday the Washington Post printed an op-ed about the danger to marriage that is happening because women don’t want to date or marry maga assholes and pushes on liberal women to take another look at them and not dismiss them out of hand…that it is their responsibilities to salve the institution of marriage…how many levels of stupid is this? Why would any woman want to date or marry anyone who doesn’t think she is his equal? Or thinks she should have less rights than a man? Or thinks that she should be quiet and stay at home and not live their own life? The asshole magas have brought this on themselves by being assholes and continuing to support the idiot trump and and the destruction of this country…and who cheered when Roe was struck down by the corrupt supreme court…what kind of a life would it be for any woman without respect and dignity? So, keep on whining magas…articles like this just showcases the fact that you are deplorables and it’s your job to change, not liberal women…this is probably the dumbest take I have ever seen in a major newspaper…damn, I’m so tired of the right whining all the time…fix yourselves, assholes…geez…
