Well…just a short one on the stupidity that seems to be a badge of honor amongst repubs these days…and it didn’t used to be that way…I wonder why these ignorant bastards keep getting elected? Just yesterday, a repub rep from Oklahoma commented during a town meeting that he felt that there still should be a congressional investigation into Obama’s birth, birth certificate, etc. but thinks it may be too late now. I can’t keep saying this enough…there has never been a question that Obama’s mother is a US citizen and that makes Obama a “natural born citizen” of the US and makes him eligible to be president…no birth certificate needed…and just the other day, ole Ted Cruz said that he was eligible to be president even though he was born in Canada…and his reasoning? That his mother was a US citizen so that makes him one, too….I really want to go to one of these town hall meetings and have these idiots that so revere the constitution actually read it…geez…

Stupidity=Republicans…
Well…a couple of thing have come up over the past few days that just made me laugh about how stupid the republicans have become…or still are? First, we have the idiot congressman from Florida name Yoho that came out the other day to proudly say he has told ole Boehner that he thinks the 10% tax on tanning beds that is included in the law is racist against whites since “no dark-skinned people” use them…yeah, not making this up, again…and then he goes on and on about how terrible the rest of the ACA is and how he will vote to repeal it…yada, yada…statements that are just dripping with stupidity since repeal is never going to happen. Then, we have a rep from NC at a town meeting the other day boasting about how many times he has voted to repeal the ACA when his constituents asked him why he wanted to make sure that they will never be able to afford insurance and never be covered for pre-existing conditions…and then asked what he would replace the ACA with…and, of course, the idiot couldn’t answer since they really don’t care if people like me can afford insurance or not…they have theirs and anyone else can go to hell….geez…
Another reason to hate the NSA spying…
Well…if it wasn’t bad enough that the NSA is spying on Americans looking for terrorists, it was just revealed the other day that the DEA is using the same program to look for drug dealers…but that is not the worst part….the worst part is that the DEA is using this information as the core to fake cases against these people…how it works is that the DEA finds a nugget that someone is smuggling or selling drugs and then builds a fake case to make it look like they actually did the work of building a real case…lying to prosecutors, defense lawyers, and judges to make the fake case look real…and they even have official procedures on how to do it. Never mind that this crap violates many parts of the constitution, it also erodes the justice system that is supposed to protect people from this kind of crap…..if there is anything that should make people stand up and rebel against government nonsense, this should be it…anyone taking part in this crap should be arrested and prosecuted….right now….geez…
The 40th time is the charm?
Well…never in my lifetime have I seen a political party that isn’t; like the repubs are now, evidenced by the 40th vote, yep that’s right, 40th vote to repeal the ACA. When are these idiots going to get thrown out of congress for wasting the time and money of the American people? Over on the senate side, you have the same damn thing going on with Canadian Cruz vowing to shut down the government if the ACA is not defunded as part of the debt ceiling deal….he is willing to crash the entire world economy just to prevent some people, like me, from being able to get affordable health insurance, and to prevent people with pre-existing conditions from ever being able to be insured…in what twisted vision of America is that good for the people? I have just had enough of the tea partiers trying to shove their fascistic view of life on the sane ones here who believe that we need government to protect us from the Ayn Randian version of capitalism that they love so much….and the bitch of the whole thing is that the people who will benefit from the ACA continue to vote against their own interests…and for these bat shit crazy repubs…geez…
Still don’t understand it…
Well…I still don’t understand the adamant refusals to help Detroit out of it’s financial difficulties in any way…starting with, of course, repub senators, but then all the way up to Obama…what makes Detroit different than the bailouts that are regularly given for natural disasters? If the country can afford to give 60 billion dollars for repairs after Sandy, why can’t we afford a few billion to help the transition in Detroit? I contend that what has happened in Detroit is just a slow motion natural disaster that has unfolded over a few decades but it is no less devastating than a hurricane…and the people there deserve no less support than Florida get every year during hurricane season. What the hell is wrong with us as a people if we can’t help our fellow citizens in their time of need….isn’t Detroit as deserving as Iraq, or Israel, or any other country that we give foreign aid to? I just hope that we can smarten up and help…geez…
Schuette is still an idiot…
Well…with the bankruptcy filing in the city of Detroit, I was extremely surprised to hear that our AG, Bill Schuette, has come out to say that the state will defend the public sector pensions of the retirees of the city. Must have been a really hard thing for this tea party idiot to say since he normally picks and chooses which laws to enforce and almost always lets his personal beliefs dictate what those laws are. The thing is, though, the courts always slap him down and tell him he is wrong, and that is a good thing….and, I am going to make a prediction in this case that his true colors and his hatred of unions and the middle class will shine through….here’s what I predict: he will present a half-hearted defense of these constitutionally protected pensions; making sure that he he screws it up just enough so that the courts will slap him down, again…then, he will call a press conference to say that it’s not his fault…that it is the big, bad federal government that is taking the pensions and he will then go on to rail about socialism, Obamacare, and the fascist in the White House…typical tea party talking points and he will get what he wants…more talking points on how bad unions are since they can’t protect your pensions so you shouldn’t trust them or join them….I may be giving him too much credit for having the smarts to pull this off but with their drive to eliminate any power for the middle class, I would not be surprised….geez…
Couldn’t happen to a nicer guy…
Well…you should see my face, I’m grinning so much from this little piece of news that I think I’m going to hurt it…if you haven’t heard, the second largest broadcaster in the US is going to dump Rush Limbaugh since they can’t get any advertisers for his show anymore…other than natural “manhood” enhancers or gold sellers…and it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy (snark)…this idiot has been almost solely responsible for the coarsening of the political discourse in this country and his hate filled spewing has emboldened the other crazies on the right to do the same…I hope this is a harbinger of things to come for the repubs across the country so we don’t have to listen to this nonsense anymore….yay…
More republican hypocrisy…
Well…with all of the stories on Detroit’s bankruptcy, the one thing has struck me more than anything else is the height of the repub hate of the city….with Rand Paul spouting that there is no way in hell that he would ever vote to help them out and that has been echoed by the normal group of crazies on the right…and no, that’s not what I don’t understand…I have come to expect nothing but racism and meanness from the repubs…but, these are the same folks that had no problem spending hundreds of billions of dollars in Iraq and Afghanistan to rebuild those countries after we destroyed them, but they can’t see why it’s the federal government’s responsibility to help out in Detroit. Well…let me point it out to you…Detroit is part of America! The people that live there are US citizens! What the hell kind of world do the repubs want? One where…oh, yeah, that’s right…they want a world that is winner take all and to hell with everyone who is not connected, white, and Christian….this crap has got to end….geez…
The lack of outrage is doing me in…
Well…I have been working on trying to circumvent the lack of outrage lately but trying to make some faux outrage…is not working at all so I really don’t know what to write about…politics has reached the level of absurdity that I can’t top with the repubs going off the rails constantly…I really can’t believe how crazy these folks have gotten…the latest one that has me shaking my head is an editorial in the Detroit News yesterday arguing against medicaid expansion here in Michigan since when it was done in other states, not as many people signed up as was projected so we should not make it available to anyone who can’t afford insurance….or the other day, too…when ole Steven King. R from crazyland, said that he could spot an illegal immigrant from their “cantalope sized calves” that they get from carrying 75 pounds of drugs across the border…and sadly, I’m not making this up….then in another fit of the crazy…there are about 14 repub senators who say they will crash the world economy unless Obamacare is repealed…going along with ole Boehner who says that he will hold the debt ceiling hostage unless every safety net is destroyed….never mind that before Obama, the debt ceiling was raised 57 times with no drama…I wonder what the difference is now…hmmmm…could it be because the repubs are a bunch of racist hacks? No wonder the repub controlled congress is at the lowest approval rating in history…we just need to do something to throw these know-nothing idiots out in 2014…geez…
Snyder the liar strikes again…
Well…I wonder if anyone is surprised that there are new revelations that the Snyder administration here in Michigan had no intent in following the law or even good faith in the appointment of the emergency manager for Detroit…these folks went on and on that bankruptcy was the last resort for the city, but new e-mails have just been found that show that all of this was just a sham…that they wanted bankruptcy from the start and tried mightily to cover up that fact…one aide going so far as to ask how they could hold discussions that would circumvent the Freedom of Information act…that would keep their shennanigans secret from the public and allow them to cut back room deals that would lay the burden solely on retirees and workers of the city. But, do you expect anything different from the repubs? If you do after the right to work for less debacle, and all of the other shady deals that have come from this administration, I feel sorry for you…these folks are the typical repubs, jamming their extreme agenda down the peoples throats while working overtime to ignore laws they don’t like….I, for one, have had enough of these folks…they need to go…geez…
