Well…as one of the things that I read about on Mastodon is the frequent comparisons by people who have lived in Europe for a while and then come back to the US…and one of the things that gets the most comments is the difference in how healthcare is run in the EU versus the US and the comparison is not flattering to the US…one comment came today is how easy it is to get medical care in the EU…you just walk in the door and they treat you since everyone is covered even if you’re not a citizen…no bills, no nothing for whatever you need…they consider good healthcare a human right over there…but when this person came back here, he ran into the normal bullshit and saw the same gofundme pleas from people trying to be able to afford their medicine or treatment bills that I see at least 20 of every day….and there is just something wrong with that…and I say that with the prospect of a 5K bill coming my way for my cancer treatment…that never happens in the EU….you just get treated and then go home to live…and being retired and on medicare who has to pay 200 dollars a month for what healthcare I do have, I think there just has to be a better way….especially when the insurance companies make billions of dollars every year that they are siphoning off to pay their ceos 20 million dollars a year…there just has to be a better way than what we are doing…geez…

Elon better watch out…
Well…with the news yesterday that ole elon shut down the starlink internet connection that Ukraine was going to use to attack Russian warships that have been launching missiles at Ukrainian civilians, I think he has now branded himself a war criminal for helping Russia continue to murder…and he better not be traveling anywhere or he could end up in the Hague being tried for those crimes….now do you understand why I really hate this asshole? Anyone who helps elon in any way is a partner to helping Russia and that includes anyone who buys a tesla or uses SpaceX and I think NASA should be punishing him for this crap…say maybe nationalizing both starlink and SpaceX…no one should have the power to murder just because they are rich….so take it away from him…and tax the billionaires until they’re not one anymore…geez…
Not indicted in Georgia…
Well…as we follow the criminal indictments in the case of the idiot boy trying to overturn the 2020 election in Georgia, I have been a little confused why some of the people who are known to have been in on the plot were nowhere to be seen…and today the entire list of those who the Grand Jury recommended charges against and I am even more confused…I mean we know that Lindsey Graham was involved and now we know that the GJ said he should be charged but Fani Willis decided not to…the same goes for the traitor Flynn and senators Perdue and Loeffler…so why haven’t they been charged? I think she just couldn’t take on any more than the 19 people already charged and have a good chance at conviction for all of them…and because these other people haven’t been charged now, it doesn’t mean that they won’t be charged later after these 19 trials are over…and I sure hope that happens since flynn is still trying to overthrow the government right now and is still pushing the “big lie” and that is corrosive to our country…geez…
A bad week for idiot boy…
Well…I had to laugh this week when it was reported that trump continued to lose in court, not once but twice…in NY a judge entered a summary judgement in the second defamation case against idiot boy by E. jean Carroll…the judge said the earlier case had enough evidence for this one, too so he said the only thing they need a trial for is to set the damages in the case…the last one cost him 5 million dollars so this one will probably be more…oh, and in Florida, one of the little fish that trump was trying to make a fall guy has flipped and is testifying against the idiot in the stolen documents case…and to have a live witness to go with the mountains of other evidence is the last nail in that coffin…so a no good, very bad week for idiot boy…and I couldn’t be happier…
About time, Joe…
Well…for some reason, the media doesn’t want to report on how good the economy is and how most of what is happening is related to the legislation passed in Joe Biden’s first two years….but now, finally, Joe is going to start to go around the media by spending 25 million dollars on ad buys starting with the NFL games tomorrow and I can’t wait to see it since it is going to run during the Lions/Chiefs game that I will watch…the themes are going to be that the legislation fixed supply chains, that he is fighting corporate greed, making medicine more affordable, bringing back manufacturing jobs, and keeping unemployment at a 40 year low…and the billions of dollars that the law authorized to fix our crumbling infrastructure…and I think this advertising will start to crowd out the wall to wall coverage of the idiot trump that the media did in 2016 and are repeating this year….I think he needs to add that the repubs in control of the house are do nothing idiots and have wasted two years that we could have used to fix more problems…but they don’t want to fix problems…they just want to sit there and screech like the howler monkeys they are…geez…
Meadows really blew it…
Well…with the trump crony Mark Meadows trying to get his trial for his part in stealing the election in Georgia moved to federal court and severed from the 18 other defendants, he made such a huge mistake as a lot of them do these days by thinking he was smarter than the prosecutors and waived his 5th amendment rights and testified in the hearing about his role…yow, what a mistake…don’t any of these guys remember anything? During the hearing, Meadows testified he didn’t know anything about the plot but then later said that he was in every meeting with the idiot trump…and Fani Willis has memos that Meadows wrote talking about the plot and to deny it on the stand is perjury…so he just added another potential charge to his long list of them…and he tried to get the judge to agree that everything he did was protected by the fact that it was all the duties of his job…but there is no job in the federal government that has overthrowing the government in it’s job description….so he really blew it by his hubris, by his thinking he was smarter than anyone else in the room and he is going to pay for it…and none too soon…trial in October…
Ron DeSantis is a tiny little prick..
Well… with the hurricane that went through Florida last week, Joe Biden and his team are doing everything they can to help the state recover including making a visit there to talk to the people on the ground and see for himself what they need…and it’s SOP for the president to visit these places in person…so he did, he didn’t withhold aid or throw paper towels at them and he didn’t whine that he was supposed to be golfing…you know, like a normal president…what isn’t normal is the tiny little prick desantis the asshole governor, wouldn’t meet with Biden since he doesn’t want to hurt his failing presidential campaign by having photos of him with the Bidens….ha, as if that is going to help when he’s polling at about 12%…this ugly little prick even had a 15 year old kid bullied by his security guards for asking ole ronnie a tough question….yep, that’s how small this prick is…always punching down…what a tiny, tiny, prick…geez…
Trump is so damn dumb…and so are his followers…
Well…grifters gotta grift…and there is no more of a stupid grifter as the idiot trump….with reports out for a week or so saying that he is just about broke, the grifter in chief came up with the latest one which is a picture of his mugshot on t-shirts that he is selling to pay his legal bills…but that’s not the worst of it…under the mugshot he has printed “never surrender”…but the stupid part is that he was literally surrendering when he had that picture taken…but that doesn’t matter to his stupid followers who are just eating the shirts up and giving him even more of their money for him to squander….it is just breathtaking how stupid these people are…who in their right minds would walk around with the ugly mug of the idiot on it? Oh, yeah…other idiots…geez…
Ha, ha, ha…Rudy…
Well…how far is ole rudy giuliani going to fall? All the way to his final resting place in hell I hope…and the latest is that the judge overseeing the civil suit the Georgia poll workers filed against him has just ruled a default judgement against rudy since he didn’t provide any of the discovery that the judge ruled he had to…so now the suit still goes to trial to determine how much he is going to have to pay them…oh, and rudy even admitted that he defamed them repeatedly so it’s going to be more money than he has even if he sells his 6 million dollar NY house…I wonder how he looks in the mirror in the morning….he could have had a pretty nice life if he wouldn’t have hooked up with trump…and again, everything that trump touches dies….bye, bye, rudy….geez…
The two parties are not the same…
Well…you know, I am so damn tired of people saying they are not going to vote at all since both political parties are the same…I wonder if it is willful ignorance or if it is just them trying to fake being cynical that will make them look cool…and you just have to look at the news announced today to see how wrong they are…just today, the Biden administration announced the first ten drugs that Medicare is going to start negotiating prices on…in just those ten drugs, Medicare spends 50 billion dollars a year…yep, that’s billion with a b so if they can get a 50% reduction, or to the price in other countries who don’t allow the price gouging that the repubs have written into the laws here, this one thing could save people on Medicare 25 billion dollars a year since a lot of these are barely covered as it is…have you ever seen a repub support saving ordinary citizens this much money? No, you haven’t…I’ll save you the work of going out to look…if it doesn’t give tax cuts to the rich or corporations, they hate it…so voters, just vote on this one issue if it’s too much work for you to look for all the ways the Biden administration is working for you and me…but don’t vote for any damn repub…geez…
