Well…just read that Bernie Sanders just endorsed Joe Biden in the online forum that Joe was using to talk about some of the issues today…and it was exactly what I was looking for, asking his followers, independents, greens, and even sane repubs to support Joe and return this country to sanity….and Joe talked directly to Bernie’s supporters and thanked them for their ideas and enthusiasm and promised to earn their votes in the fall…now, this is exactly what I was hoping would happen…but I would have gone a little further even and had Joe promise that Bernie is going to be an integral part of the campaign and administration that Joe puts together…here’s the thing, too…even when being attacked during the campaign, Joe was always the gracious, decent human being that this country needs right now…but that is Joe…no flash or soaring rhetoric but an innate goodness that trump and his cabal of idiots just don’t possess…and that needs to go into lots of ads starting now…split screen with Joe consoling an American and trump screaming at one of his “rallies”…cripes I could write a hundred of them…again…thanks Bernie…

Now they’re trying to kill the postal service?
Well….what the hell is wrong with trump and his cronies? Well..yeah, everything but now they are trying to kill the US Postal Service with the idiot in chief bleating out of his pie hole that he won’t sign anything that helps the postal service in this depression…half a trillion dollars to bail out his business buddies but not a dime to fix one of the most essential services that the government performs….and the problems the service is having is directly from repub shenanigans that forced the postal service to pay for 75 years of pension obligations upfront….a debt load that no business could survive and that has never been imposed on any other business…but the repub hatred of their unionized workforce is driving all of the attempts to kill it…along with the fact that the repubs don’t want everyone voting by mail because if that happens, they will lose all across the country and their voter suppression schemes will no longer work. Everyone in this country depends on the postal service, including these idiots business buddies….what happens to people who live in red areas who voted for trump and who have no internet access who depend on the service for their SS checks? I can go on and on about the damage that losing the postal service would do but everyone knows what that would be so I won’t repeat that here…just remember that the postal service was one of the most important things that the founders of this country set up…even before there was a constitution there was a postal service…and it should be here after we throw the repubs out…
The hidden damage…
Well….after seeing the videos from the doctors, nurses, and other hospital workers on tv and their heart wrenching pleas for help and their deep, deep fear that they too will die from the virus…the thing that hits me like a gut punch is the question of who is going to help with the hidden damage that this work is causing to these people? Every damn one of them who survives is going to have the debilitating affects of PTSD that will always be with them…who is going to take care of them and help them? As a society that operates on the profit motive in healthcare, there is no mechanism, no program, no money that is available to mitigate this hidden disaster…and who is going to replace these people who have given everything to protect their fellow human beings? I don’t even hear any discussion on this terrible human toll…just the same old bullshit on how to “open” the economy and how to give money to corporations that don’t need it…and once the pandemic subsides will we go back to the same old crap where hospitals close and doctors and nurses are expected to take pay cuts to protect the profit of the corporations who see healthcare as just another profit center? Who are we as a country if we allow this to happen? This is our chance to make this a better country as the virus exposes the rotten foundations that have been patched with cheap plaster for so long…we just need the will to do it…but I don’t hold out much hope that will happen…and that makes me sick.
The new stupidist thing I’ve ever heard…
Well…if you’re still listening to anything the moron in chief says, you’ve heard some pretty stupid crap come out of his face…but just yesterday, the stupidest thing I have heard come out of anyone’s mouth came out of idiot boy’s pie hole….I need to quote it so you’ll believe it: “the germ has gotten so brilliant the antibiotic can’t keep up with it….there’s a whole genius to it…not only is it hidden, but it’s very smart…”…okay…I’m shaking my head at the stupidity packed into those few sentences…a brilliant virus? The antibiotic can’t keep up with it? Cripes, the ignorant moron has just shown that there is another thing to add to the long list of things he doesn’t understand….first, viruses can’t be “brilliant” they don’t have brains, they can’t think…they are just pieces of RNA that can hijack host cells to replicate…and that is the only thing they do….they don’t look around and see “antibiotics” and run away from them….and second…doesn’t every second grader know that antibiotics don’t work on viruses? It’s even in in it’s name….let’s spell this out…anti means against something…and biotic means living things, which viruses aren’t….viruses exist in a gray area and are considered to be non-living until they infect living cells….god, I am so tired of stupid people running this country and killing people with their stupidity….this is the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard….until later today when the idiot opens his yap again….
Looting doesn’t have to be permanent….
Well…with the idiot trump firing everyone who was charged with making sure the bailout money went to the right places, to quote Neil Young “the looting has begun” as trump and his cronies just steal everything that is not nailed down….almost half a trillion dollars has disappeared with no oversight…even though oversight is written into the spending bill but the repubs are helping idiot boy give the cash to whoever he wants. Let’s remember one thing that these folks are too stupid and venal to understand…that the looting is not permanent…it’s only going to last until we beat trump in the fall and then the investigations of who got what and who did what and who broke what laws will start….and with a dem in the WH, there will be unfettered cooperation with both the house and senate committees who will find out where the money went and will “claw back” all of the stolen loot…with interest and I would bet that there will be criminal referrals, too….so hey, morons…it may look good right now that you can buy a few more yachts with the stolen money…but we’re going to take it back after November after your cronies are consigned to the ash heap of history….and you will be, too…
They’re not even faking it anymore…
Well…it’s harder than I thought it was going to be to take the day off and want to get out to mow the lawn for the first time but using an electric mower when it’s sprinkling doesn’t seem like too good of an idea…so, I thought I’d come here and do this instead. Okay, it looks like the idiot in chief with the attention span of a gnat has gotten tired of this whole virus thing and has decided to not even fake caring about it anymore…just this morning, the WH announced that they are going to stop funding and running all testing for the virus across the country and are leaving it the states to pick up the slack if they want to…now it does seem a little stupid to unilaterally stop the one thing that would allow us to get a handle on the spread of the virus and to help apply resources where it would do the most good but that would take an understanding of science…something that not one of trump’s cronies has at all…and they’ve run out of PPE in the federal stockpiles so what’s the point of testing if you don’t have the material to help at all? This is just another instance where trump and his moron brigade are treating the supplies that were purchased by all of us as if they paid for it out of their own pockets and are trying mightily to figure out how they can make money off of these supplies for themselves and their business buddies. And now, the first trial balloons are being floated by these morons that they want to start “opening” the country back up and sending people back to work May 1st even though the pandemic still rages across the country…and this says that these assholes never took the federal response seriously but more as just a “PR” problem that could be solved by lies and propaganda…no matter how many people will die, these assholes are tired of having to work at all and want to take the easy (to them) way out…murderers all…
Thanks, Bernie…
Well…with the news today the Bernie Sanders is dropping out of the race for the dem nomination, all I have to say is thanks Bernie….look, I’ve been a fan of Bernie’s for a long time with his core being always trying to look out for the little guy and trying to rein in the corporations who are sucking this country dry. Bernie was not my choice in the primary, I voted for Liz Warren since I think she has the best combination of empathy, tact and steel and would make a great president…but, she didn’t win and am I sitting here pouting and saying that I’ll vote for trump if Liz is not the nominee? I’m looking at you Joe Rogan…you pea-brained idiot…you’d give us 4 more years of trump just because your fee fees are hurt that your guy didn’t get enough votes to win…I’ve got news for you, moron…that’s how it works…Joe got more votes so he is the nominee…with no rigging of the primaries or any other bullshit conspiracy theories that you and the rest of the “Bernie Bros” have been spouting….okay Bernie, now is the time to tell your followers in no uncertain terms that you will back Joe completely and you expect your followers to do the same…to do anything else is to be collaborators in the destruction of this country…and no, destruction is not necessary for the country to be rebuilt…it makes it so much damn harder to get the society you say you want….so, swallow your pride and understand that Joe Biden, with Bernie, Liz, Kamala, Amy, and Pete working together can start that repair process…and get us all to the country we can be if we just shoulder the repubs aside…
Murder and a supreme court seat…
Well….repubs across this country continue to show that they will stop at nothing to steal supreme court seats even if it results in the murder of their people. There is an election today in Wisconsin that the repubs there have been doing everything they can to make sure that the people of Milwaukee (who are predominately African American) don’t get to vote for a dem SC justice candidate since she will win if they can….there are normally 155 polling places in Milwaukee and the repubs in control of the state congress have cut that down to only 5…making up every damn excuse in the book to disenfranchise the people who they know won’t vote for them…and when the dem governor tried to get them to agree to expanded vote by mail for everyone during the pandemic, the repubs said no and took it all the way to the SC where Kavanaugh and Gorsuch delivered what they were installed for…to make sure that the repubs can continue to steal elections. But, during this pandemic, it is even worse because the repubs in Wisconsin are essentially sentencing voters there to choose between voting and death…and the repubs will be responsible for murdering hundreds of their people…but, this doesn’t matter to them at all…the corrupt repub party doesn’t give a damn about anyone but themselves…and they are going to get away with it….
Evolution…
Well…okay, am starting to get back into politics in the news and the evolution of the right’s response to the virus is just frickin stunning….if you remember 6 weeks or so ago everyone from rush to trump to hannity were bleating out of their mouths that the virus is just a hoax that the dems were using to attack trump since they couldn’t convict him in the senate….then they moved to “it’s just like the flu” and 40,000 people die from the flu int he US so no big deal if a few people die…then the classic “don’t make the cure worse than the disease” that trump picked up from some idiot on fox “news” was the excuse that trump was going to use to “open the country” by Easter Sunday…remember that gem? The next evolution was that only old people are going to die and they are old and are takers anyway so they aren’t worth anything…then the spin got up to 10,000 rpm when trump and his enablers on fox declared that “only” 100,000 dead meant that trump did just the bestest job that any president had ever done or ever could do so he should be congratulated and fawned over forever…now, in the sickest thing I have ever seen in my lifetime, the right is now saying that dying is the greatest thing that can happen to you and the people who live are the unlucky ones….now, did you have any question that the repubs have become a death cult and will do anything to protect the worst leader in the history of the world just so they can continue to get their unqualified judges rammed through the senate by the grim reaper McConnell? How many dead is that worth? A quarter of a million? A million? Every damn repub has blood on their hands….I guess trump CAN kill someone on 5th Avenue and his followers well stay with him….
Where did the idea of “backup” come from…
Well…listening to the whiner in chief talk the past few days and his assertion that the federal government is only “backup” for the states, it made me wonder where that whole idea came from. In my lifetime it has always been the feds who have taken the lead in disaster relief…until idiot boy, that is…I wonder if “backup” is just trump’s shorthand for “I’m just too lazy or stupid to do anything” so don’t expect anything from me or anyone around me…now I’m going to play golf. And the latest whine from the laziest *president in history is that hospitals are “asking for too much” as if the money for the PPE and other equipment they need is coming out of his own pocket….and the lack of federal response boils down to only one thing…trump just doesn’t want to work that hard and even telling other people to do something is too much work for him…so he just won’t do it…and that is killing people all over the country and your friends and family, and me could be next….
