Well…have gotten almost all the bile out of my system with today’s posts so I think it’s time to end the day on a lighter note. I got out on the bike today! I really was thinking that I was done until March of next year so today was a nice little bonus….and I can’t believe how fast my fitness level regresses…I was only off the bike for two weeks and it feels like the I’m just starting out in the spring…my legs and lungs were burning today and I can still feel the pain right now…might even have to take something for it to keep the inflammation down…but, I was still was grinning the whole time…and, I may be able to get out again tomorrow and Saturday if it doesn’t snow tonight….

“Papa John” is out….
Well….add this one to the “karma is a bitch” list….amid falling sales and the need to publicly disavow the Nazis that made Papa John’s their go to pizza, John Schnatter is out as CEO of his own company. and, it couldn’t happen to more deserving asshole….you remember one of his greatest hits as a repub moron? Where he said he would cut everyone’s hours that work for his company if Obamacare passed so he wouldn’t have to provide health insurance? The Obamacare that would raise the price of a pizza all of 9 cents? But the vindictive bastard didn’t stop there….lately he is blaming falling sales of his crappy pizzas on the NFL letting the players protest the abuse that minorities frequently suffer at the hands of police in this country…a really racist move since most of the protesters are minorities. I think he’s finally seeing that there are more people like us in this country who will use whatever small economic power we have to not support the assholes who continue to take, and take, and take and make this country worse. The bottom line is that Papa John is just an asshole prick trump lover, who builds a 30 million dollar house while figuring out ways to screw the employees that make his company successful…or the typical repub these days….good riddance….
We now know why they are attacking Meuller…
Well….with the increase in attacks on Robert Mueller and his investigation into the idiot trump and his treason against this country, we now know the reason for it….the revelation that Mueller has all of the e-mails from the idiot’s transition team, and has had them for quite some time. A long enough time that he had them before the transition team was questioned in the investigation…and you know what that means? That every time these morons lied to Mueller, and you know they all did, he has evidence that they did…and the e-mails were used to shape the questioning. Now, one of the themes that these desperate idiots are floating is that the e-mails were private and Mueller got them illegally….and that just made me laugh since they were stored on government servers and that makes them public property…and we know that Mueller has done everything by the book….and that will be proven when the charges start flying to this crime family….impeach…
It’s not illegal to protest the idiot trump…
Well….it there was any doubt that the idiot trump was a fascist, that was put to rest when when his justice department arrested and charged people who were protesting him with multiple felonies. Yeah, you heard that right…in the huge protest against trump and everything he stands for, hundreds of people were arrested for exercising their first amendment rights just because it hurt the little man’s fee fees…and the reason they used was that there was some property damage along the parade route done by someone so everyone who was at the protest was guilty, including journalists who were covering it. This nonsense was put to rest today when a jury came back with a not guilty verdict on all charges for the first 6 people charged…but my question is how could this trial even start when courts have ruled many times in the past that protesting is protected speech? This is just another instance where the idiot trump and his minions are seeking to destroy the constitution since it’s protections are inconvenient to their goal of making the US into Russia where dissent is met with jail time, murder, or worse. Trump needs to go now…impeach….
December 21st
Well…it was an okay day yesterday but the only thing I got done was the grocery run…and I think I’m getting a sore throat which will mean there is some kind of bug coming and that is a little disappointing…just got over one a week ago and that one lasted a month….slept okay last night but feel a little slow today and I’m not sure what I’m going to do today…probably some cleaning and I do have to cook today since there are no leftovers left…think I’ll make some venison tacos to have something different than the ham I’ve had for a week….and I’ll make some pork stir fry tomorrow….not much to do today…going to just ease into the day and then get a workout in to start….more later…..
One vote….
Well….not sure if you have been following the special elections that have been going on across the country that the dems have been overperforming in, but that is not what this is about…it is a good thing that we have been crushing it…especially in Virginia where we have flipped the legislature there from a 65-35 repub majority to a 50-50 tied one…but, the stunning thing I wanted to highlight here is that every frickin vote counts…that when we vote, we win…and that was shown yesterday when a dem won her recount by one vote! That’s right…one vote took the majority away from the repubs and split the legislature down the middle….and this, along with the pickup in Wisconsin from another progressive woman, shows how important it is for all of us to make sure we vote every time…and vote for our great progressive candidates who will put the people first…not the rich or corporations…it will be a long slog but we CAN make the repubs pay for this abomination of a tax fraud that throws 13 million people off their health insurance in the next year…people are going to die to give the country to the rich and we can fight back…but, we all need to vote…get out there and do it….
There are still good people…
Well…just a shorty on a video I just saw on twitter….a woman drove by a homeless man standing in the snow next to a street with no coat and then did a marvelous thing…she turned around, went to a store and bought the man a coat…..what a wonderful thing…it tells me there are still good people in the country and I have to hang onto that until next year….thank you Christina Calvo of Waterbury Conn.
December 20th
Well….running late today with already doing three errands….did get the grocery run in but had to stop and put gas in the car and then to FF for vermouth…I wonder why Meijer’s never has the stuff I like? Slept kind of okay last night and didn’t get up until almost 7 which put me scrambling since I like to get out to get the groceries by 7 am to beat the crowds…and I went today instead of Thursday just for that reason with the holiday coming up…I did get the car washed yesterday and I swung by the site of the old car wash and it’s gone as I expected….not sure if I like the one I used yesterday since the dollar bill slot wasn’t working but someone had left two dollar coins on the ground so it was free and that was cool…I did get some stuff done yesterday and today I should be able to continue that….more later….
Found my thermometer!
Well…not sure if I mentioned this or not, but a few weeks ago I lost my meat thermometer somehow…in a little place like mine, that is some doing…I had assumed that it had gotten caught up in some plastic grocery bags that I had thrown away. But, today, while I was fishing out some bags to recycle my newspapers, I found my thermometer stuck in the handle of a bag….that made my day not having to buy a new one…I know they’re not expensive but even at 10-12 bucks, I just didn’t want to spend the cash….little things can make me happy….
This is their defense?
Well…the atrocious tax bill that the repubs are jamming through congress without any hearings or even reading it is being defended in a really strange way…not really strange but revealing….repub senators know this bill that gives 83% of the tax benefits to the 1% is a piece of crap but their defense is that future congresses will repeal it….yeah, these idiots are so cynical and hungry for any kind of legislative win that they are justifying it and saying “hey, don’t worry about it, legislators in the future will clean up our mess”…..and guess who those legislators will be? Yep, it’s always the repubs screwing things up and it’s always the dems that have to come along and fix it…and the repubs really don’t care how bad they are screwing people…the end game for most of these repub idiots who will be voted out of office next year is to take care of their donors so they can then become lobbyists being paid 7 figure salaries by the same people they are handing the country to. How much longer will you idiots who vote for repubs take this crap? No tax cut and losing your health insurance….just frickin brilliant on your part…
