Well…I really like the way the idiot trump’s incompetent lawyers keep floating trial balloons on what they are going to present as a defense…first amendment was one of the first on and it was met with ridicule in the indictment from Jack Smith…and just today, after idiot boy was admonished by the judge to keep his mouth shut or there would be consequences, they have floated a new one that I’ve never heard of…they complained the that Judge Chotkan was setting a “perjury trap” for idiot boy…as if that was a thing…I think they are just admitting they can’t control what the idiot is going to say and he is going to run afoul of the judge’s rules…and by saying it now, they think it will protect the idiot when she drops the hammer on him for shooting his mouth off….it is going to be fun to watch anyway….

August 12th
Well…running about on time this morning with getting out of bed around 6 but I’m feeling pretty worn out…again…and my neck hurts on the right side so I must have slept wrong last night…damn, waking up with new pains every day is getting old…as I am…there is a nice cool breeze blowing in through the front door right now and it feels good…but we still didn’t get any rain yesterday when the rest of the state got hours of it…and that sucks…didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today will be much the same with soccer starting in a half hour or so…need to do an E check in for the video doctor visit on Monday and that will cost me another 45 bucks in co pays…and I am still waiting for the big bill to come…the new shoes came yesterday and I really like them…they have big lug soles that will be good for winter and walking around in the British rain…and I really hadn’t noticed how the memory foam in the old ones had gotten flat…don’t think I’ve ever had three pairs of usable shoes at once in my life…not much to do today…don’t have to cook today with all of the leftovers I pulled out of the freezer and I am still trying to eat more but with little success…oh, well…more later…
Chutkan is not screwing around…
Well…a real judge was on display in the courtroom this morning where Judge Chutkan took control of the case against the orange idiot…she is not fooling around and, she bluntly told idiot boy’s lawyers that whatever his job is, that will not have any effect on the trial…and she went on to say that trump is a “criminal defendant” and will be treated just like any other one in her courtroom, taking the running for president bullshit out of the mix immediately and telling them he will get no special treatment because he is running…she especially admonished trump’s lawyers when they said basically that they couldn’t control what idiot boy says at his rallies and she told them again, that he will be treated the same as any other defendant and if he reveals what the said he couldn’t, his ass will be hauled back into court to hold him in contempt…and if he keeps up trying to taint the jury pool by his loud mouth, she will take whatever “measures” are necessary to protect the case…this is going to fun to watch…idiot boy has never had to keep his mouth shut in a criminal trial and I really don’t think he can…is there a betting pool for when he is going to screw up? My bet is later today….geez…
August 11th
Well…you know, it’s a sinking feeling when you wake up at 4:04 and know that you won’t be able to get back to sleep…so I’m running a little early today and that’s okay…decided to run an errand this morning to do the DD run and get some roasted turkey for 1.30 a pound and some breaded chicken filets for 99 cents a pound…think I have room in the freezer for them and if not, I’ll make room…that will be 10 pounds of protein and that I probably don’t need…had a good day yesterday but didn’t do much…the assholes partied all day yesterday and I had to make a call on them and will again today if they keep it up…but it’s supposed to rain all afternoon so maybe I’ll get a break….have really been trying to gain some weight…yeah, you heard that right…gain some weight…something I never thought I’d ever say…and I may have gained 5 pounds or so heading for a 10 pound gain…that’s too damn weird…I do need to look at the recipes my daughter left and figure out what ones I want to make to use the peppers I have in the fridge….not much to do today…just the errand and then “staying home to watch for rain” as Pink Floyd says….more later…
Got out to the beach…
Well…I did get out to the beach today but the water was really cold and wavy so I didn’t want to chance injury by going in…after just lying on my stomach on my beach chair for 10 minutes, my abdomen started to hurt so I think it was a good decision to take it easy…there were only about 10 people on the beach so plenty of room to be away from everybody…only stayed out there for an hour and a half…got some color but no enough for me to be uncomfortable…I may just go out there tomorrow to see if the water will be warmer and less wavy to get a swim in…who knows?
Corrupt FBI…
Well…when the idiot boy was in office, we knew that the NY FBI office was a hot bed of trumpism and corruption, and just today another whistleblower came forward and said in a complaint that his supervisor told him to stop investigating rudy giuliani and to cut off contact with with any sources who reported corruption by any associates of the idiot trump…and he reported interference in his work of intelligence gathering on “certain” politically active figures and FBI agents who were connected to Russian and Ukrainian oligarchs and including anyone in the trump WH…and it looks like that supervisor is the agent who is negotiating a deal to plead guilty to working for a Russian oligarch, Oleg Deripaska when he was an FBI agent…so the fix was in at the highest levels of the FBI to protect trump and his cronies and pay for it by oligarch’s money….that’s why every damn one of the corrupt bastards need to be rooted out prosecuted…no slaps on the wrists but real jail time…geez…
August 10th
Well…running a bit early today with getting up a little before 6 but I’m not getting moving too fast….used the Voltaren on my right thumb last night and it worked pretty well…going to keep that stuff around…slept okay last night but feel worn out this morning and I think it’s not eating enough…really trying to gain some weight and haven’t been successful yet….still looking pretty gaunt and that needs to be fixed….I thinking of going out to the beach after I run an errand this morning…feeling good enough to do an easy swim today and get some sun…yeah, I know…not supposed to exert myself but I got through mowing the lawn with no damage so I guess I can try swimming….but I will just float and nothing else….didn’t get much done yesterday and I think today will be about the same…don’t have to cook today but I will need to figure out what recipe uses the peppers that are in the fridge so I can use them before they spoil….not much to do today…just the post office run and then an errand and I’ll be back here before 9 or so….then I’ll have the rest of the day to do what I want…but I don’t want to do much with how I feel right now….more later…
I think the big bill is on it’s way…
Well…got a weird phone call from Priority Health this morning where they wanted to try to enroll me in Medicaid to go with my Medicare and the only reason I can think of is they are going to send me a bill for my 5 grand copay for the surgery and they don’t think I can afford it….I make too much on SS to qualify for it so I just cut them off…it was an automated call anyway and I was just not going to spend a minute going through it when I know the outcome…what a waste of my time….
Rigging didn’t work in Ohio…
Well…the repubs know they have no ideas that anyone wants so of course they are still trying to rig elections across the country…just yesterday, their attempt to do more rigging in Ohio failed by 13 points…they knew that the abortion rights initiative that is on the ballot this fall that would change their constitution will probably pass and would make the 6 week ban the repubs jammed through after Dobbs moot…so instead of listening to the will of the people, the repubs tried to change the way citizen initiatives are run, requiring that they get 60% of the vote instead of 50% and requiring that signatures be gathered in every county…making the process so hard that no initiative would ever make the ballot again…and they scheduled the vote in the summer where they hoped that no one would show up…but, as across the rest of the US, the will of the people won and now reproductive rights will pass in the fall election…and abortion bans continue to be a loser for the repubs when over 70% of the people in the US think it should be safe and legal….so, keep it up repubs and you’ll never win another election…that would be joyous…geez…
August 9th
Well..damn, having a hard time getting going today with not getting out of bed til 6:45…and my fingers are numb so I must have slept on my shoulders wrong last night…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get a lot done but the grocery run and today is going to be much the same…just need to change the oil in the car and that only takes about 20 minutes or so and then I’m going to grill some burgers and sausages to have for the rest of the week…have a green and red pepper in the fridge that need to be used so I’ll have to look at the recipes my daughter left and see what one they are used for and make it….still don’t have much pain from the surgery even with mowing the lawn and carrying in 25 pounds of groceries yesterday….so it looks like I’m pretty much healed and I hope to continue to improve over the next 6 weeks until the UK trip…still having problems gaining weight since I don’t have any desire to eat but that is not new…had a bowl of soup and a sausage yesterday and that’s not enough even with not riding the bike…not much to do today…just working on the car and grilling but I sure don’t feel like doing any of that right now…just so damn worn out and feel old…but I am old so I guess that’s normal….more later…
