Well…does anyone else hear it? The wonderful silence of a twitterless idiot boy? I guess some his former aides are saying that trump is stewing now that Fauci is telling the truth about trying to be forced to lie for him….and you can see it in Fauci’s face that he relaxed with Biden in the WH and the re-emergence of an emphasis on science again…and trump is still really pissed that he can’t tweet to “set the record straight” when Biden told the world that there was no vaccine distribution plan that was left behind by trump’s cronies….you know what else is nice? Having competent experts being appointed to run the government instead of incompetent lackeys…oh, and no lies from the WH briefing room…just information that the country needs to know so everyone knows what is going on. I don’t cringe anymore when I get up and look at the news in the morning, either…since I know Joe is a decent man who would never do any of the crap that trump did daily…and I am even a little excited about the progress that Joe has made in just 6 days…the country looks and feels like a better place already and will continue to get better every day with Joe in charge…and now I’m a homeowner and it looks like I’ll make the deadlines for moving…all in all things are looking up…one more move…

Holy Joe….
Well…I guess Joe and his team are not screwing around and I am cheering…in the first day, wow: Killed the Muslim travel ban, restored LGBTQ rights to serve in the armed forces and be treated as equals, stopped asylum seeker deportations, stopped oil and gas drilling in the ANWR, killed the Keystone pipeline, fired the anti labor counsel of the NLRB, cleaned out many, many trump supporters civilians out of the armed forces, rejoined WHO, rejoined the Paris climate agreement, fired the trump loving head of the federal media agencies…oh, and his people are telling the truth. Gee…it’s like these guys know what they are doing and they are doing it for everyone in this country to try to make this a better place to live…imagine that…no scandals, no unqualified appointments and no golfing at his own club….and just the bestest thing is that ole Mitch is fuming along with all of the rest of the repubs calling these moves “divisive” and overreaching….it wasn’t when idiot boy did it but it surely is when we reverse it….but we all knew that was their game plan….bitch and complain about everything when they don’t get their way…tough luck, repubs…
It’s almost over…
Well…just two and a half hours to go for our national nightmare to be over and I have started to watch the news again…something that I just couldn’t do for the past 4 years and I have even allowed myself to grin a little today…there really is something palpable about what is happening today, that normalcy is going to come back and we won’t have to grit our teeth every damn day for the latest outrage from idiot boy….now to make my day even better we will hear of the first indictments of trump and his family announced around noon…not going to hold my breath but I know it’s coming so I guess I can wait a while for that and just enjoy the fact that a decent man is going to be president in under 3 hours….I wonder if I have the ability to write good things for a change? I will still criticize Joe when it’s needed but I’m sure he won’t do anything out of malice so I’ll be critical of policy….Joe is too good of a person…god, it feels good to write that about a president….good riddance to the worst person in the world….more later….
No “looking forward”
Well…damn, it only took me a month to be disappointed in the Biden administration and they haven’t even taken office yet. And it is because of the same bullshit that Obama did when he took office and even sounds the same…that the new administration is “looking forward” when asked if trump and his cronies are going to be held accountable for their crimes…no, damn it, there is no forward without making sure trump and his cronies pay for their trashing of the US and their blatant lawbreaking or everyone on the right is going to say that “how can they have committed crimes? They weren’t prosecuted so they must not have done anything wrong.” We on the left have to grow some spine no matter what the political fallout is…after all, we don’t ask what the political ramifications are in every case that comes through the justice department and then don’t prosecute if it’s going to be hard…and we can’t leave it to the states, either…most of them are cash strapped and can’t afford to mount a multi million dollar prosecution that could drag on for years…so Joe, no damn looking forward…tell your justice department to follow the evidence and charge these bastards if the evidence is there for it….we need to save the rule of law in this country that trump has trashed every damn day since he was installed by Putin…I fear that if we don’t do it now, it will be gone forever….as will our country…
I’m already bored….
Well…it’s 9:21 am and I am already bored with this day….and it’s still only 21 degrees outside so even the prospect of getting a ride in today is far, far in the future…so, let’s talk a little politics…yesterday, the electors made it official and Joe and Kamala won the election…but the stupid repubs just won’t give it up…here in Michigan, they tried to send a bunch of “alternate electors” into the state capitol to vote for the idiot trump but they were stopped at the door since they had no legal standing other than in some delusional repubs head…I do like that Joe has started to call out idiot boy’s behavior for what it is…damaging to our country and democracy but I think he is naive if he thinks he is going to be able to work with the trump cult as he said in his speech….these people are too far gone down the rabbit hole and Joe needs to see the reality of it…that none of this is normal and normal methods aren’t going to do the job…he needs to have a plan in place for the alternatives when working with them fails…but, I’m sure that they have smart people working on that problem right now since Joe’s people are competent….not like idiot boy’s whose only skills are kissing trump’s butt….still haven’t seen trump’s tweetstorm for today but it must gall the hell out of him that Putin called Joe to congratulate him on his win and there will be comments coming…that should be rich…
Medical transparency?
Well…have been looking for a political topic all day today without much luck…I could write that Arizona certified it’s vote for Joe today putting what should be the last nail in idiot boy’s voter fraud coffin…but, I’m not….I am laughing about the right and fox news going off about Joe’s doctors trying to hide his medical problems and hooting about “medical transparency” while not even noticing their abject hypocrisy on this subject…yep, Joe does have a medical problem and it is serious…he cracked a bone in his foot when he slipped playing with one of his dogs Sunday…that’s it, having fun being normal playing with his dog and he cracked a bone in his foot…and the howl about transparency? Within hours of going for x-rays for the foot, Joe’s personal doctor made a statement that he thought it was just a sprain but would update after a CT scan that is more accurate…and within minutes after getting the results the doctor reported that Joe had a broken bone in his foot and would be wearing a walking cast for a couple of weeks but would be fine. Now, let’s contrast that with idiot boy’s rush to Bethesda over a year ago….and the lies were that it was just the first part of his “physical” and they wouldn’t share any of the results or why he was really there…and trump never went back for the “second half” and wouldn’t answer any questions about it…now, which incident looks the most transparent to you? It’s all the same bullshit from the right…trump can do whatever he wants and it is okay, but Joe is going to be nitpicked for the next 8 years…after all there was 15 minutes between when his doctor got the results and when he reported them…and that is unacceptable…because Joe is a democrat…bullshit hypocrisy….typical repubs….geez…
Here’s the difference…
Well….with Joe’s cabinet picks emerging, it paints a clear difference between the two major parties here in the US…while the idiot trump appointed a bunch of assholes who thought it was a strength to treat people and the world like crap, Joe’s picks have been hailed as being just good people who really care about others and doing a good job for everyone, along with being some of the most competent people in the US. That is a comforting thought after 4 years of assholery, lawbreaking, and hate…that we are going to have good, competent people running our government again and we only have 56 days of bullshit to get through…it is so cool to see the light at the end of the tunnel…and to know that things are going to get better from day one of Biden’s administration…or even before that as the transition starts. One thing that happen on day one is that there will no longer be children in cages and refugees will be welcomed again in accordance to international law…and the DHS and CBP thugs who have been torturing asylum seekers will be held to account….would that ever happen in a repub administration? Never in a million years…and that is another difference….we have to remember that Joe and his policies are not going to be perfect, especially when Mitch McConnell is already trying to sabotage any progress that the dems will try to make, but they will be the result of trying to make things better and not just burning the country down as trump and his cronies have done. I am really looking forward to retiring the epithet “idiot boy” and never writing about trump again….I’m sure he is going to try to stay relevant, as if he ever was, so I may have to backslide some…but it will be refreshing to write about good things again for the most part…I will criticize when events or policies warrant it…but I’m pretty sure that Joe won’t ever make personal attacks or go off on rants and lie on twitter….and that will be enough for now….
Finally, I only have personal stuff to be depressed about..
Well….that’s a weird thing about depression, there doesn’t have to be a reason for it…it just is…but, sometimes there is a reason for it and that reason is going away soon….my depression about the state of this country and the people the idiot boy chose to help him plunder it is being lifted by the cabinet choices that Joe Biden has made…wow, we are talking about a dream team of people who are at the top of their fields and who will bring expertise, knowledge, and years of experience to the jobs in the cabinet….and there is not one lobbyist, CEO, or fox news talking head in the bunch….and one commentor that I read today summed it up that even the announcement of the picks is professional with no “game show” bullshit that idiot boy always did with his moronic picks…and did you notice one other thing? Not one of the picks praised Joe Biden at all but just thanked him for the opportunity to serve the country…and Joe’s short and sweet response? “Let’s get to work” It is going to be so cool to have a competent government again and not be depressed about every new outrage….and to not see a bunch of incompetent ass kissers running this country….go Joe!
Countdown…5 days to the election…
Well…a few good, high quality polls for Joe today that put him up by 6 in Florida and that means that he has an 89% chance of winning the EC according to 538, and a 95% chance of winning according to the Economist…if trump loses Florida the game is over and we should know that late on the third or the early hours of the 4th…and crucially, Joe is over 50% and that leaves only the undecideds that trump could get and he would need to get all of them to even get close…okay, I know we on the side of good have a habit of seeing the worst and remembering 2016 when Hillary was ahead (but by about 2/3rds less than Biden is now) and got almost 3 million more votes but still lost…so we need to keep working up to the night of the 3rd and then be ready to take to the streets if idiot boy and his minions try to steal the election…but, let’s also take a breath and think about all the work that has been done so far…have a drink, and get ready for the pull all the way to Tuesday…we are saving this country and that is damn hard work. Think of how good it is going to feel when we kick trump and his cronies to the curb…I have the cocktails ready…
24 seconds of decency…
Well…okay, this is going to be a short one about a video I saw yesterday of Joe Biden talking to and comforting the survivors of the Parkland shooting in Florida in 2018…after talking to Debbi Hixon whose husband died in the shooting while saving many of his students, Joe starts to walk away and you can hear Hixon’s son calling out to Joe and then you see him run into the picture as Joe turns around and Joe give him a big hug…then Joe thanks him for giving him the hug and asks if the boy is okay…when he shakes his head no, Joe kisses him on the head and reassures him that it will be okay…it will all be okay….now, I’ll admit that this small bit of decency, caring, and comfort affected me greatly after 4 years of the asshole in the WH…please go out and find it…it will warm your heart to see…
