Run, you cowards….
Well…with the atrocity of a health bill inching it’s way through the repub controlled house, questions are being asked of it’s repub supporters whether or not they have even read the bill…and guess what? The cowards are running away from the questions…literally…since they haven’t…they will vote for a bill that will kill thousands of Americans and throw 24 million off their insurance but they haven’t even read what’s in it? I know why…they just don’t care….as long as they can give a trillion dollar tax cut to their owners, nothing else really matters since they have insulated themselves from the carnage by making it not applicable to them…now that’s some courage right there…cowards….
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?
Well….some years this day goes by with no recognition at all, but this year I think we need to remember what happens when the government turns on it’s citizens…especially in these days of trump. 47 years ago today, National guard troops opened fire on protesters on the campus of Kent State University…after 13 seconds, 4 young people lay dead on the ground for exercising their constitutional rights to assemble and protest….to this day, I still remember it coming over the news and Walter Cronkite reporting it…and as a 16 year old kid quickly coming up on draft age, I was still trying to understand the Vietnam war and why we were fighting there….I do remember the walkouts at my high school that followed Kent State and it did enter my mind that there may be danger there…I think Kent State was my turning point, where I went from the naivete of supporting the country no matter what to understanding that we as a country could be wrong…and those words from Neil Young’s song still bring a tear to my eye every time I hear them “…what if you knew her and found her dead on the ground…how can you run when you know?” Peace…..
All you need to know about trumpcare….
Well….with the vote coming up this morning on throwing 24 million people off their health insurance by passing trumpcare, there is only one thing you need to know about it and the repubs that are selling it as being better than Obamacare….the repubs have exempted themselves from the crappy insurance that will come from trumpcare…yep, the great, wonderful insurance that will come from trumpcare is only for you…the idiots that voted for trump and his cronies…but not for the sociopaths that are voting for this atrocity….and there is no CBO score or even a full reading of the bill…the repubs want a vote and the bill isn’t even finished yet….just an outline but that won’t stop the idiot repubs from voting for it…no, I won’t call them idiots anymore…I’ll call them the murderers they are since thousands of American citizens are going to lose their lives from this bill…and hundreds of thousands are going to lose everything they’ve worked their entire lives for by having to declare bankruptcy being swamped by medical bills that were covered under Obamacare….we need to make these murderers pay in 2018….impeach….
May 4th
Well….running just a little late today with doing the grocery run…it was nice to make a little cash this week so I could buy groceries….feel okay this morning and my back pain is almost gone but not quite all of it…just can’t get it to crack like it normally does and that makes the pain run down my left leg…but, the rest of it is better so I’m not going to bitch too much….I did get a bike ride in yesterday but I’m not sure about today yet…it’s only going to get to 50 or so today and that is just warm enough to not wear gloves….and it’s supposed to rain so maybe I’ll take the day off and just clean a little…I need to get this place cleaned up with my son coming in Monday….but I really don’t have that much to do….more later….
Clinton and trump treated the same?
Well….have been reading a little about Comey’s testimony in the senate today and most of the response from the idiot repubs come from the WH playbook…that the only problem is that people were leaking information to the press….not that Comey put his thumb on the election scale and cost Clinton the election. When asked about that by dem senators, Comey answered that he treated both trump and Clinton the same….okay, let talk about that a minute…where was the letter to the house about trump’s ties to Russia when Comey just couldn’t wait to let the house know that they had found duplicate e-mails on someone else’s computer? In his testimony today, Comey even admitted that he knew that his letter about Clinton would be leaked to the press by the repubs…but now he is “nauseous” that it happend and the he “may” have affected the election. This is bullshit…he knew damn well what he was doing would damage Clinton and he did it anyway….being a lifelong Clinton hater he even allowed the NY office of the FBI to work openly to help elect trump…and no amount of bullshit backfilling is going to change how much damage he has done to the US and the world…what a load of crap…..
May 3rd
Well….I finally got my new stove as I was out having a couple with T…and I made the last of the cash so that was cool…think I have enough for a month or so….still feel a little worn out today and I’m not really sure what it is….I did cook yesterday but I’m not sure if it was enough….I have a rack of ribs in the oven that have to be cooked low and slow for about 4 hours and that should make for a nice lunch…and I will have to wait to get out on the bike until after lunch since it is in the 30′s right now and I just can’t be cold anymore…one good thing is that I don’t hurt as much as I did and that is even without ibuprofen….my back is better and I hope that continues….more later…..
The question was asked….
Well…with the interviews the idiot trump has done over the past few days and his totally deranged demeanor in them…the question was asked of John McCain yesterday if it was time to start talking about invoking the 25th amendment and removing trump from office since he is so obviously unfit to be president. Now, of course McCain changed the subject and didn’t give an answer, but the fact that the question is being asked shows where we are in regard to the mental illness that is trump. This is not a personality quirk or anything so benign as that, but trump has full blown delusional behavior that is indicative of something much more serious that can’t be allowed to continue….this idiot needs to be removed…now….impeach….
May 2nd
Well….what a pain in the ass day yesterday….spent a couple of hours cleaning up after the geyser and getting ready for them to deliver the new stove today…and there will be more cleaning after they leave today since it is raining and they will track more dirt in….oh, well…feel okay this morning but my back still hurts and I think I’ll take the day off the bike since it is raining and the high for the day is only going to be 45 or so and I refuse to wear gloves…I did get the bike working again after screwing with the shifter again but it took much longer than I expected…need to work on it again today to replace some shims…but I’m still not too motivated today so we’ll see…more later…..
Do they have to lie about everything?
Well…I have a question for the idiot trump and his cronies….do you have to lie about everything? With reports out there that the trump inaugural committee got almost double in donations of any other committee….and we all know why that much money was given….basically bribes to trump to get influence and/or government jobs…but now we hear that they are trying to hide who gave money by falsifying the records of the campaign….just making up people and attributing donations to them. I think Rachael broke this one back in April but no other media has picked it up and I find that to be strange in itself….of course fox wouldn’t cover it but what about the rest? I guess it’s up to the rest of us to just keep hammering away no matter the threats that the idiot trump is throwing around to “open up the libel laws” and to start suing people who write things he doesn’t like…I just say bring it on, idiot….the first amendment still exists…for now….impeach….
