Well…again, sitting here thinking bout what to write about without much luck…I just can’t do more Trump…he is such a ridiculous person that I can’t make stuff up that is stranger than what he says….I did read a small article that is making me think some about the election…how do you campaign against someone who just doesn’t care what he says? Who can be on both sides of an issue within the same interview or just doesn’t see lying as a problem…it’s not anything that anyone has had to deal with in an election before so how to do it? I did want to talk a little about Paul Ryan’s ideas to fix Puerto Rico’s financial crisis since they look so similar to what ole Snyder did to Michigan with his “Emergency Managers”….basically, Ryan wants there to be an appointed board that will take over and deal with the crisis with the emphasis being on slashing more and more out of the budget for the island that already has endured draconian cuts just to make sure that hedge fund managers will get their payday….I just don’t understand this crap…after all, austerity never works for anyone except for the rich…oh, that’s it…I get it, the rich need to get paid for any crisis…even ones that they cause….what a bunch of crap…geez…

Trump and his taxes…
Well…I know I said I wasn’t going to write much more about ole Donald but I just read a little tidbit about his taxes that I just had to comment on…as you know…Donald is refusing to release his tax returns using every lie in the book to keep from doing it and there just might be a real reason for him not releasing them….in his NY state return, he took a tax credit that can only be used by someone making less than 500K a year…so, either he is lying about his huuuuge amount of money he supposedly makes, or he is committing tax fraud by taking this credit that he is not entitled to. One other reason could be that he has such good lawyers that he is not paying any taxes which would not look good, either, just making him another rich asshole who doesn’t pay his fair share….any one of the reasons should be enough to disqualify him from being president…but, the repub base just doesn’t care if he is a liar and tax cheat, he is still ‘the Donald” and I guess being a celebrity is all the qualifications you need on the right….geez…
Trump is just not too bright…
Well….was just reading some online news that confirmed what everyone should know…that ole Donald is just not too bright…and the piece of news? That Sarah Palin is on his short list for vice president….yep, the idiot half-term governor is considered to be qualified to be VP by Donald and that one piece of information should disqualify him from ever being considered for president…I am just shaking my head that ole sister Sarah, the two bit, bar fighting grifter would be considered qualified for anything…the debates would be interesting and a laugh riot but being VP is supposed to be serious business…this just shows how far the repubs have fallen….what a frickin joke…..geez….
More Donald….
Well….have been looking for a political topic all day…I am just so tired of writing about the idiot Trump that I couldn’t bring myself to do another one today…okay….maybe just a little….one of the idiot’s comments over the past day or so, pandering to the hard right religious nuts, is that he will appoint at least 5 SC justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal here in the US. Now, there are so many ways that this is wrong…first, there is no way that 4 more justices are going to retire or die in the next 4 years…and, to overturn Roe, the court would have to ignore the precedent of Roe…not that that hasn’t happened under Roberts, just look at Citizens United, that overturned hundreds of years of precedent. But the second thing we have to look at is this complete banning of abortion is only supported by about 25% of the US and if ole Donald continues to press that it is what he will do with his SC picks, he is doomed by voters who think that is not the governments business to make health care decisions for women and take away their rights to control their own bodies. Okay…this one was not supposed to be about Donald…just got sucked into it…darn….
Holy whiplash, Batman….
Well…if you are going to pay any attention to Trump and this campaign, I think you’d better stock up on neck braces to keep the whiplash from him changing his mind from hurting too much. The latest two just point out that ole Donald is just making crap up as he goes along with not one care about consistency….or as the repubs are so fond of saying “uncertainty” and the Huuuge effect it has on markets and our allies. First, over the weekend, we had the Donald say that he would have to raise taxes on the rich to make his economic “plan” work…and not more than two hours later, on another show, he said the he would never raise taxes on the rich….and just yesterday he said that Ben Carson was going to be the person vetting his VP choices…but today, ole Donald’s campaign manager said that he would be the one vetting the picks….yep…surprise, surprise…the Donald is an inconsistent blow hard who just makes it up and tells people what they want to hear with absolutely no care that, in at least one of the instances, he is lying through his teeth…but, I guess in the modern repub party, that is the game plan…promise people one thing, and then go hard right once you are elected…worked for Snyder here in Michigan and Walker in Wisconsin….but it is supposed to be kept secret until after the election…something that Donald just can’t do…geez…
Trump doesn’t represent the repub party?
Well…now that old Donald has just about locked up the repub nomination…the spooked establishment repubs and many, many of the repubs up for election this fall are running away from him like crazy…even going so far as to not mention his name…just saying ‘the nominee” instead of Trump’s name. The meme of the whole thing is that “Trump and what he said in the primaries doesn’t represent the repub party” and that you should still vote for the rest of the repubs that are running….yeah…doesn’t represent the repub party when he won the nomination? And, the majority of the rank and file repubs voted for him? The repub party is exactly the misogynist, homophobic, “other” hating party that they appear…and they have been using this hate to win elections for the past 40 years…but now that the elites of the party can’t control the hate they have spawned and that’s how they got Trump…who threw away the dog whistles and shouted that hatred from every podium starting with his announcement speech. So now, we have the repub party laid bare to expose what they have been about all along…and the base has been released by Trump to openly spew the hatred that has always been just under the surface…you reap what you sow idiots….geez…
Food fight on the right….
Well…I have been grinning all day today with the food fight that has broken out between the Donald and ole Ted Cruz over the past few days…or maybe just today…the whole thing started when the Donald quoted a less than believable story from the National Enquirer that placed Ted’s father with Oswald just before the JFK assassination…and then Donald just had to extrapolate that to mean the ole Ted’s father was partially responsible for the assassination….of course, that just was too much for ole Ted and he just blew and started talking about Donald’s venereal diseases and calling him a pathological liar, utterly amoral and the biggest narcissist ever…..adding that the country will be destroyed if Donald or Hillary get elected…now this is just another facet of what I wrote about the other day…how ole Ted just won’t be able to deal with losing…especially to the Donald and this is the manifestation of that….he is melting before our eyes and I am reveling in it…he is, after all, the worst person in the world…geez…
Just some stuff…
Well….even with all that is going on in politics, I haven’t been able to distill things down to a single topic so I think I’ll just noodle around and see where it goes….had to call the guys back to work on the furnace again and this time they replaced the brain that runs the thing…has been working since they left so I have my fingers crossed….it has been interesting this week to see that ole Donald has started to self destruct and show his know nothingness on basically every topic…from foreign policy to economics, his ignorance is just breathtaking and people are starting to catch on….and, the thing we have to remember is that even if he is the candidate, his own party really doesn’t like him much with his unfavorables being in the 60% range…and no one has ever been elected with them that high…his only support is within his rabid racist base and he has no appeal to the independents that are needed to win….I guess he appeals to the same folks that used to watch his reality show….oh, one last thing…sister Sarah did a speech for Trump in Wisconsin the other day that people walked out on…maybe her schtick is finally wearing thin? Not too soon, that’s for sure….
Dumb and dumber….
Well…with the attacks on Brussels yesterday and the loss of life there, of course we have the repub candidates spouting off what needs to happen next here in the US….yeah…an attack on Europe means that these idiots have another chance to politicize the suffering of the victims for their own benefit…starting with ole Donald this morning going on the morning shows saying that, if he was president, he would close the borders and start torturing people to try to get “information” he never said what information or who from but he was damn sure that torturing was the way to get it….then, he went on to brag that he was right about every terrorist attack ever in the history of the world and then drove down the nonsense rathole that he seems to always go down…can’t even figure out what he means most of the time…then, we have ole Ted Cruz saying that we need new laws to allow the police to “patrol and secure” Muslim areas of the country…and, I would assume, enter Muslim American homes to make sure that there is nothing going on…never mind that this is just what the English did that triggered the Revolutionary War and led to the 4th amendment that ole Ted is supposed to revere….I just can’t believe these guys are the leaders of the modern repub party…well…yeah, I can..they are the distillation of the hate and fear that the repubs have won elections on for the past 30 years….I’m just glad it’s out in the open now so the rest of us can see that reality…it’s not pretty…..geez…
Some good news….
Well…haven’t done a political one in a while since the crap that is going on over on the repub side has just gotten to be too much for me to follow…I mean, a presidential candidate telling his followers to beat up people they don’t agree with? With that, there is no room for any policy discussion on that side but we’ve heard it all…tax cuts for the rich…blah, blah…so I guess we don’t really have to hear any more….but, there was one bit of good news that came out of a national poll on the general election that was released the other day…and that is that either Bernie or Hillary would beat Drumpf by about 10 points with Bernie doing a little better….and those numbers are sure to go up as people hear more from the idiot….how far has the repub party fallen since I was young….when we had people like Vandenberg, and Ford and Bill Milliken….and now we have Drumpf, Cruz, and Rubio….have never seen a worse set of no talent hacks in my life….geez..
