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…

Tax the billionaires…

Well…with all of damage that billionaires are doing to the world and with the report that one of the idiot trump’s billionaire backers is ready to spend whatever it takes to install him back in the WH, has there ever been a better reason to tax the billionaires so they can’t destroy this country? The damage they do to the environment is just as bad when it was reported that the top 1% pollutes as much as the bottom 66% of the people in the world…if we could just tax them so much to take away their abuse of private jets, carbon pollution would drop by 25%….and they use their billions to buy the supreme court to get their far right wish list that would never get through congress…just doing this one thing would get rid of many of the problems facing this country and would fund the things we need like forgiving college debt and expanding SS and food assistance…so let’s get it done in 2024…geez…

Who else?

Well…I don’t know what is wrong with some dems on the left of our spectrum when they have turned into anyone but Biden morons…and I think a lot of it is just sour grapes since Joe hasn’t gotten them everything they wanted and they sulk because of it…hey, I have news for you…that’s how politics works…it a compromise…what would you rather have? Joe doing his best with the complex politics of the world and the country or handing the country back to the repubs so they can finish it off? Then you get nothing…but that is what these progressive purists are going to make happen if they either protest vote for the idiot trump or just not vote at all…I just want all of these morons to just grow up…Joe on his worst day if light years better than any repub…and when you look at the good that Joe’s policies have done for the country and world, my question becomes who else? Who else would you run that could be elected and do what Joe’s done? Bernie, Warren? Nope, not going to happen…so just get out and vote for Joe and then in ’28 you can have you someone new…but if you don’t vote and you let the repubs take over, there won’t be a vote in ’28…and you better frickin believe it…geez…

Compare the two…

Well…just thought of a short topic to talk about this evening…not sure if you had time to read any news today but if you do, take a look at and compare the Thanksgiving statements from Joe and the idiot trump and try to tell me that Joe is losing it compared to the orange menace…Joe’s was soothing and nice while idiot boy’s was full of hate and attacks and really didn’t make much sense…if anyone can read idiot boy’s and think he should ever be president again you need some psychiatric help…and I never want to hear from you again…

Red state brain drain…

Well…as I’ve talked about before, with the repubs running red states into the ground both economically and socially, new studies are daily showing that the college educated are fleeing red states and women of college age are not going to school in red states…and with the harsh anti abortion laws being passed in those states that criminalize women’s health care, many hospitals have stopped even delivering babies since the specialists that do those procedures have all left to avoid being charged with felonies for doing their jobs…and many other hospitals in those states are closing from not being able to staff them since these draconian laws were passed…and it’s not just doctors who are staying away from red states…in a survey done over the past few months, 67 college administrators told prospective students to stay away from their colleges because the stupid legislators are meddling in what can be taught and how…I mean how can you even get a degree in history when red states ban the teaching of it? We are quickly moving to a two tiered country when it comes to freedom and economic opportunity…every red state but one is a taker state…they get more from the federal government than they send in taxes and that means all of us blue states are paying red states welfare money and are becoming havens for freedoms that red states are working really hard to take away…so the next time you hear a repub talking about “freedom” ask them for who? Surely not women, children, or minorities….geez…

Moms for liberty?

Well…not sure if you’ve heard about these idiots who call themselves Mom’s for Liberty but boy, what a group…their main reason for being is to ban books across the country and try to flood local school boards with their members to makes sure it’s as racist and stupid as can be…in the last election a couple of weeks ago they were clobbered and not many of their candidates were elected so the US dodged a bullet there…but, as with many of repub right wing groups these days, once you dig a little into the backgrounds of these people you find all kinds of criminals that are running them…and MFL is no different…one of the “faith based” outreach leaders was convicted of felony sexual abuse of a 14 year old boy…yep, some faith they have there where it’s perfectly fine to have a guy running the place who abused a 14 year old…I guess it like jim jordan at Ohio state letting the abuse of athletes go on for years or trump “grab them by the p***y still being the front runner for the repub nomination with 91 felony counts charged against him…the modern repub party is just nothing more than a cesspool of abuse and hate…the ideas are d.o.a….geez…

What the hell is wrong with dems?

Well…I know it’s a year out from the 2024 election but I’m starting to get a little pissed at an increasing number of dems saying they won’t vote for Biden since he is too old or he supports Israel or some such bullshit…and you know what? If we don’t vote for Joe it’s the same thing as voting for the idiot trump…I know some people value ideological purity more than anything but damn, folks, no third party or protest votes this time…it’s too damn important that we keep any repub out of the WH and take back control of the House and keep the Senate….look, the only thing that will happen if we throw away our votes sine Joe is not far enough left for some people is that the rich will get richer, the environment will continue to deteriorate, and we will all lose more and more rights as the repubs trash the government and destroy programs that are keeping many of us oldsters alive…that is how important this coming election is…just look what happened here in Michigan when the people voted…things that are important to everyone has been passed…women have their rights enshrined in the constitution and we have fair voting districts in there, too…so dems, suck it up and get out to vote and protect this country…and that means no votes for any repub….geez…

Finally, they are going to expel him…

Well…I never thought I’d see it but they House is finally going to expel George Santos…it’s about time…with almost 30 felony charges against him and the new report from the Ethics Committee that says that he misused his office to try to enrich himself and broke almost every rule of the house while doing it…the only reason they are doing this to Santos when the idiot trump has done 3 times the crimes is that he doesn’t have the rabid base that probably would attack anyone (and already has) he wants them to…so the brave repubs in the House can make a show of policing their own…a cynical bit of political theater to try to limit the damage Santos is doing to their electoral prospects….but what about the other 200+ repubs who are just as crooked in the house? What about Jim Jordan who covered up sexual abuse of athletes when he was at Ohio State? Or Matt Gaetz who sexually abused underage girls in Florida? You get the picture…Santos is not the only one of these cretins that need to go but these guys think they’ve done their duty by getting rid of Santos…it’s not enough…geez…
