Well…have been getting a few things done today so I am late coming back here for another one…did anyone watch the repub debate last night? I hope not since the sight of it would need so much brain bleach that it would probably kill you….I have never seen a group of “adults” carry on with the insults and middle school taunts that made them look as presidential as Pee Wee Herman….but nowhere near as funny….and it does look like ole Drumpf is going to be the winner no matter what he says, no matter how many lies he spouts, and no matter how much he threatens to commit war crimes…my question is if he was elected, and he ordered the military to commit war crimes, how many generals would tell him to go to hell….it is illegal, after all, to order someone to commit a war crime and that is just another reason whey Bush and Cheney should be in jail….but, I blame Obama for that…for his willingness to put the whole mess behind him so the repubs would work with him…how did that work out Obama? I am at a loss to comment more….geez…

I’m done with NASCAR…
Well…I am just a little chagrined with the news that the leadership of nascar and many of the drivers have come out and endorsed Donald Trump for president….I guess we all now know that racism is still alive and well in the south…now, people can endorse anyone they want…but I don’t have to pay or support their decision by watching them anymore….this just shows that these folks are not too bright…or they agree with all the terrible things the Donald has said and continues to say…do they really believe that all Mexicans are drug mules and rapists as Donald has said on more than one occasion? Do they really believe that all Muslims should be watched by the state? All I know is that Nascar ended for me today…and I have been watching it since the 70′s….I hope the rest of the progressive people in this country do the same….geez…
Trump vs. the Pope….
Well….I have been laughing quite a bit today with the meltdown ole Donald has had with some comment the Pope made in after his trip to Mexico this past week. When asked if Trump was a christian, the Pope said no…that if he only wants to build walls instead of bridges, he is not a christian….and that set off the Donald as to be expected and it has been gorgeous to watch…with the Donald saying that when ISIS attacks the Vatican, the pope would want to have Trump as president since he would kill them all….now, I’m not sure about you, but this could be Trump’s “jump the shark” moment…after all, how do you expect Catholic votes when you continue to insult the Pope? This is just delicious…pass the popcorn….
Trump skipping the debate…
Well…as you know, I have been loathe to write about old Donald…okay, I have done a few about him but this latest controversy of him skipping tonight’s debate deserved a few words from someone…and an idea that I haven’t heard in any of the news stories take on yet. To start, I find it funny that ole Donald is in a fight with Fox news who have been all Donald, all the time…but I think I also understand why he would skip the debate…after all, what would it get him to be there? He is ahead everywhere in all of the polls from the repub side and there is only downside to him being there…it could only hurt him in the polls if any of his opponents landed any punches so I guess it’s pretty smart to skip it…he is getting more press by skipping it and he just doesn’t care what anyone thinks so this appears to be logical…not that I would attribute logic to this idiot…but, this one time, it appears he has stumbled on some by accident….still going to be fun to watch….geez….
Too much religion…
Well….I know it’s Iowa caucus time where the candidates are trying to woo the evangelical vote, but I mean, come on righties…this is even too much for you guys….first we have Ted Cruz coming out the other day and saying his religion is more important to him than the US is…now, this coming from someone who wants to be president? Does that mean he will put the christianists first instead of his oath to uphold and protect the constitution that builds a wall between church and state? Imagine if a Muslim candidate said that…he would be run out of town but this is just fine for a christian to say? Then you have the Donald saying the other day that christians are going to be running the country if he is elected…don’t they now? Oh, I guess he means that christians will be able to be open with their bigotry against everyone again…and he will use his power to subvert to constitution to cater to his christian followers…look, I have had way too much of these idiots believing that this is a christian country…we are not….and I take offense with having any religion jammed down my throat by having their religion codified into laws…just like the “blue laws” that kept almost every business closed on Sunday when I was a kid…and it was so bad here in West Michigan that we had the only McDonald’s in the country that was closed on Sunday…thanks Jenison….geez….
Still trying….
Well….I have been trying all day…again…to find a topic that will mean something…well…to me anyway…and I am still not having much luck….I do find it funny that the ultimate birther king, ole Donald has turned his sighst on Ted Cruz since he wasn’t born in the US…using the same methods he always uses to make his lies sound like there may be a grain of truth in them…the old “some people are saying” that Ted isn’t a citizen…just like he said “some people saw” thousands of Muslims in New Jersey celebrating on 9/11 when that wasn’t true either…but, I do relish the fact that he is turning on the other idiots in the repub race…this is going to need some popcorn….I did find another thing funny with the Obamacare repeal bill that was sent to the president, and the repubs all patting themselves on the back for it; knowing it would be vetoed and thinking they were super geniuses for doing it. Are they going to try to run on it this year? Taking insurance away from 20 million people? Man, I can see the ads now and even I could write them…nice job, geniuses….geez…
Don’t want to write about Trump…
Well….most of the time, I really don’t know what the hell the Donald is talking about and that makes it hard to comment on…but, this past week, talking about the tragedy in San Bernadino, ole Donald went off about the Muslin culture saying that there were people that knew what the killers were going to do…that they saw “the bombs all over the floor” but no one said anything about it…and he goes on to lament that no one “turned them in” and he blamed all Muslims everywhere…lets turn that around a little to the Donald’s buddies in the financial community who crashed the economy…probably Donald himself…who saw what was going on and no one in that “culture” “turned them in”…or the white supremacists who knew what Dylan Roof was going to do and no one in that “culture” “turned him in”….this is just the typical racist crap that Trump spouts every day to gin up outrage in his racist followers….in fact, almost every time that someone from the Muslim “culture” is arrested for a terrorist plot, they were ‘turned in” by other Muslims…..so let’s just stop listening to this idiot…I’ll do my part by not writing about him anymore…geez…
This IS the republican party…
Well…it is too laugh when all of the so called “establishment” repubs run to the media to complain about the Donald’s racist, homophobic, idiotic rhetoric…nope, can’t even call it rhetoric, since that would imply that there is some logic there…when there is only a foaming pit of hate. But, this is just what the repubs have been fomenting for the past 30 years but doing it in a “nicer” form with the dog whistles of “states rights” and “religious liberty” which translated mean institutional, government sponsored bigotry against anyone that doesn’t believe as they do…that every Muslim is a terrorist and every gay should be stoned to death since being gay is against “god’s law”. Now, we see the distilled essence of the repub brand being exposed by the Donald and supported by this base of ignorant haters who have been whipped into a frenzy for so long that it had to blow at some point. I really do hope the Donald gets the nomination…and we crush this nastiness that is the repubs into the dirt….it is just so un-American to want to do harm to you fellow citizens…oh, not for the repubs, I forgot…they don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves…geez…
Some short takes…
Well…not sure if you have been following the news like I have time to do, so I think I’ll do one on some short takes since I am having trouble making sense of a big issue to do a whole one on….first, let’s start with the fascist, racist Donald and his comments the other day on the beating of a protester at one of his rallies….after his racist crowd set upon a BLM protester and beat him, the Donald didn’t say that they shouldn’t…he said the guy deserved it and just shrugged…seems similar to any authoritarian party around the world…dissent is not allowed and is usually met with violence….then we have the second place candidate for the idiot repubs showing his ignorance of everything again…I have a couple of those here that I want to comment on….first, he said that he doesn’t think that there are racial disparities in policing in this country, basically asking the questioner to prove it…which he did but that didn’t stop ole Ben…he just KNOWS it’s not true even though there is a mountain of evidence that shows it is….then ole Ben showed his total lack of historical knowledge by saying that Thomas Jefferson wrote the Constitution when Jefferson was in France in 1787 as the ambassador had nothing to do with it…I can understand his confusion since Jefferson did write the Declaration but cripes…do facts mean anything to this guy? Okay…that’s enough for now….there is a soccer match on and I need to clean my brain out…..
I guess there are no rules for the right…
Well….if you have been following politics for a long time as I have, you will no doubt remember the rule that the repubs used to have..”never speak ill of another repub”….looking at what is going on now, that rule has been shredded and dumped down the sewer. You only have to look at the spat between ole Donald and Ben Carson when the Donald compared ole Ben to a child molester to start and then trotted out some tried and true racist dog whistles to go after him since he is rising in the polls. Then ole Ben shot back with the comment that “he is terribly sad for Donald” and it is bad to see him “implode before our eyes”….now, I can see the ads that are going to be run if either of these idiots gets nominated and it won’t be pretty since they will use the words of other repubs to attack the nominee and the dems won’t even have to write anything. Contrast that to the deep policy discussions that are going on on our side….now, I am not naive enough to think that no one on our side will go negative…after all, negativity works in some instances and we do want to win…I am laughing at the lack of discipline on the right when they have lived by staying on the talking point message so well over the past few years…just hope they keep it up….
