Well….as a massacre that never happened, I shall always never remember the victims…the hundreds of victims that never were and my heart doesn’t break for them…I will always never remember where I was and what I was doing the minute the massacre didn’t happen….stay strong Bowling Green!
As you can tell, this is snark…if you want to know about Bowling Green, just google it…you’ll get a laugh out of it….
Well….I wonder why I can still be surprised by anything that Betsy DeVos and her minions do…after all, I have lived in the state where she has done all her damage to education and see it every day…but, here’s a new one…after the widespread opposition to her nomination to Ed Sec…and the subsequent revelation that she knows absolutely nothing about education policy and plagiarized many sources in her answers to written questions submitted to the senate, her PACs and supporters have started to PAY people to call and write to senators voicing their support…yep, the solution to every problem for Betsy and her ilk is to get out the checkbook and buy whatever position you want…and if you can’t do it by directly bribing someone, then you buy people to create fake support for you when the entire country doesn’t want you anywhere near our kid’s education…..I have seen a lot in my days of following politics but this is a new low…even for the DeVos/Prince clan…oh, remember her brother Eric, the war criminal and founder of Blackwater? That should be disqualifying enough…
Well…sitting here watching a Santana show on AXS tv and what do I see? It’s a Hammond B-3 but it is not like any one I have seen before…it looks like a portable model…doesn’t look like furniture like a normal B-3 but looks like the B-3 double keyboard and stops but sits on a metal stand…it does have “Hammond” in huge letters on the front of it and sounds like a B-3 so I’ll add another one to the B-3 count….
Well….it is pretty clear by now that trump has no idea how democracy works and he showed it again today with a tweet attacking the judge in Washington that ruled against his bigoted, illegal order on immigration. Here’s what the idiot said: “The opinion of this so-called judge, which essentially takes law enforcement away from our country, is ridiculous and will be overturned!” First, never in our history (other than Nixon) has a “president” attacked a judge when a ruling went against him…trump seems to think that whatever he does is perfectly legal since the other idiots around him kiss his ass and tell him it is…that’s not how the three independent branches of government work you moron….and the judge responded that he doesn’t care who is “president”, he only cares about the law and it’s correct interpretation. What more does trump have to do, repubs, to be impeached by you? Read the damn 25th amendment and get to work….
Well…running a little late today with having to do a grocery run to get some things I forgot and then making a marinade for some pork chops I thawed over the past few days…and, I got some ribs for only 1.49 a pound but I’m not sure when I am going to make them….had a pretty good day yesterday and slept okay last night…something weird about the day that I really can’t put my finger on…but I won at pool so that was cool….and, I’m not really sore anywhere so I am just going to enjoy that for now…it was only 5 degrees when I went out this morning so that is about the coldest it’s been this winter so far…but it’s clear so we will see some sun in a little while an that will be a good thing…it has been way too gloomy lately…I am going to try to clean my bathroom today but that will be about it…think I’ll just kind of veg it out and watch some soccer….more later….
Well….just can’t get started this morning so I am reading and watching a little tv and I ran across a Bruce Springsteen concert on AXS…and guess what, there is a Hammond B-3 on the stage…and, I just realized a weird thing with it’s placement….most of the time, the B-3 is on the left hand side of the stage when you are facing it….not all of the time but 90%…strange….so, add another one to the B-3 count…
Well….I just can’t believe the media letting trump and his gang of fascists get away with trumping up (yeah, I meant to do that) “reasons” for the ban on muslim refugees with trump gleefully tweeting about a knife attack at the Louvre in Paris the other day and his assistant liar Kellyanne Conway making up an attack in Bowling Green, Kentucky that never happened….but the thing that is so sickening is that trump never even acknowledged that one of his followers, a white guy, surprise, surprise, attacked a mosque in Quebec and killed 6 people…and that was caused by trumps hate speech that he spews every day. One thing that trump doesn’t want anyone to realize is that you are 5 times more likely to be killed by a white, right wing asshole in the US than by a muslim…and that he just stopped the federal investigations into right wing terror to reward his white supremacist base. The only thing I know is that every day, trump is competing for the worst person in the world and has won every day he has been in office….and I hope those days are numbered….
Well….it is just too damn cold out there right now…had gotten used to it being kind of mild and now shifting back to normal for Michigan in feb is kind of brutal…it even feels cold in here and I have the temp set at 75….made a little cash yesterday so that was cool…so at least I don’t have that to think about…didn’t do anything else yesterday and today will probably be the same…think I’ll let cleaning go until tomorrow….slept on my right shoulder last night and it hurts like crazy from it….will probably need to take something for it later if it doesn’t get better….but, my back is better so I guess that evens out…I should get out for more allergy stuff today since I am running really low and my allergies are really bad right now…more later…
Well….the ceo of Uber today announced he was leaving the position of advisor to the trump administration, saying that he didn’t want his helping trump to be seen as endorsing trump or his agenda…and now you can start laughing….he was perfectly fine with trump until the illegal immigration order that hurt Uber’s business when they tried to take advantage of a taxi strike in New York….what a disingenuous load of crap….the ceo, Travis Kalanick, is backpedaling so fast his shoes are smoking and it is only that he is losing money from the #deleteuber movement…not that he doesn’t agree with Trump and probably voted for him….as the rest of the assholes who have anything to do with this racist, white supremacy driven administration….you just can’t take things back when you were perfectly fine with trump and never said a word before the election…so, still delete your Uber app and use Lyft instead….
Well…as more and more world leader interact with the idiot trump, they are getting the picture of the weakest, most erratic president the US and the world has ever seen….he is revealing that he is all bullshit and bluster and so damn stupid and ignorant that he is already being taken advantage of…just take a look at what Russia did within hours after trump got off the phone with Putin. After lifting sanctions from the Russian secret service, the FSB; what used to be the KGB, and giving Putin a gift, Russia sent troops into the Ukraine…something that trump said would never happen “on his watch” and what the stupid people that voted for him thought they were going to get….how tough is it to let your adversary get and do anything they want? The kicker in this whole Russian relationship with trump is that the recording of the phone call with Putin magically disappeared so no one really knows what trump promised Putin or whether the phone call was to thank Putin for electing him…or maybe it was to set the terms of the bribe that Russia paid to make sure there would be no action when they did invade the Ukraine? The swamp keeps filling and trump is the slime on top….
