Well…I’ve had this thought in my head the past couple of days and thought I’d share it…when you look at the repubs running this country and can see that, objectively, they are terrible, corrupt people…how do they live with themselves? I mean if I was Scott Pruitt or any one of the other terrible people that infest this government, how do you go home at night and not think of that stuff? Is it that they are all sociopaths who have no capability for introspection or seeing the reality of their lives? Or, is it a learned behavior since they have been getting rewarded for being terrible their whole lives? Whatever it is, I can’t believe that any of them should be held up as role models and that used to be something you could depend on…they just don’t give a damn since they are getting theirs and everyone else can go to hell….geez…

Bastard Republicans…
Well…we all know how terrible the repubs are…but, just lately they have become even worse here in Michigan. With the idiot trump and his cronies in government changing the rules on Medicaid so states can now force work requirements on the poor who are covered by this program (let’s not forget that over 80% of people who are on Medicaid already work)….but that wasn’t enough for them…to make the poor jump through more hoops is the thing that the repubs live for so they are stampeding to screw over the poor in states that the repubs control. Even that is not enough for them here in Michigan…here, the repubs are rigging the system so that the poor whites in areas that voted repub are exempt from the work requirements…but the “urban” poor will have to report into some office every two weeks to prove they are working or the government will assign them unpaid work before they can retain the healthcare that is keeping them alive in many cases. Sounds pretty racist doesn’t it? In cities where the poor live, the makeup is primarily minorities…and guess who they vote for? I have had enough of the repubs punishing the poor just for being poor and voting dem…we need to throw these assholes out in the fall…it’s hard enough being poor without the repubs making it worse…geez….
Tin soldiers and Nixon comin’….
Well…just a short one on one of the darkest days in this nation’s history…48 years ago today, 4 students were killed at Kent State University while exercising their first amendment rights to protest the actions of their government…I was 16 at the time and was staring down the barrel of the draft with the real possibility of getting sent to Vietnam….that’s all I have to say right now….just listened to “Ohio” by Neil Young and it still sends chills down my spine…..
How ya likin trump now, soybean farmers?
Well…I just loved this little bit of news that came out today that, in response to the idiot trumps tariffs on China, that China has just stopped buying American soybeans…now, I feel for the farmers that are going to be hurt by this, but they voted for the idiot and foisted him on the whole country so I don’t feel too much for them…in just the past week, China has cancelled 70,000 tons of soybean orders that are worth over 30 million dollars…and that is going to put some of them out of business and cause job losses across the red states who elected this jackass….now, I hope these morons who voted for this know nothing, ignorant, moron will remember what he has done to them come November…but, they probably won’t…just like the evangelicals that voted overwhelmingly for the serial sexual assaulter and continue to support him even after revelation after revelation of just how terrible a person trump is, these farmers are just too damn dumb to vote in their own self interest…hey, farmers…turn off fox news for a while and let your intelligence come back…maybe then you’ll vote for competency and knowledge in government…yeah, probably not….but, her e-mails….geez…
Call them what they are…traitors…
Well…not sure if you’ve read about this or not, but the higher ups in both the FBI and the Justice Department think that the reason for the repubs in the House asking for documents from the Mueller investigation is to give them to the WH to help the idiot trump defend himself in his conspiracy with the Russians to steal the election….now let that sink in a minute…and now let’s replace idiot boy with any common thug criminal (which he is) and read that again…how would you feel if the House repubs were using their investigative power to get information from an ongoing investigation of crime by the mob, and then gave it to the mob boss being investigated? That’s exactly what is happening here and only a traitor to this country would undercut the Justice department from doing their job….especially since it involves a foreign power who has attacked our country and is continuing those attacks while every damn repub in power looks the other way or actively helps them by supporting the criminal in the WH. As I said yesterday, there is a reason for all of those House repubs trying to protect trump, they are in it up to their necks in Russian collusion just as he is…and some of them will be going to jail…just as he is…impeach…
“The Justice Department won’t be extorted”
Well….this is what it has come to in the repubs and the idiot trump’s administration….Rod Rosenstein, answering questions at a forum the other day said that…that the repubs in the House are trying to extort the Justice department into stopping the investigation in trump and his ongoing lawlessness…let that sink in for a minute….did you ever hear that about Obama’s administration? Nope, you sure as hell didn’t…and you never had Eric Holder having the threat of impeachment used against him to stop an investigation into Obama…what the hell is wrong with these people? I have a theory that the Russian collusion conspiracy goes way deeper than just trump and his campaign…and is going to dive into the heart of the repub party starting with Ryan and McConnell and going down to Nunes and the rest of the house repubs…after all, the NRA funneled over 30 million Russian dollars to repubs up and down the ticket and they are now hunkering down and getting ready to have all of their dirty laundry exposed to the public…and it is really, really dirty….impeach….
Rick Snyder is not too bright…
Well…thought I’d go with a little bit of local politics today after just seeing an ad that our idiot governor has done for his underling who is running for governor. In the ad, Snyder touts the “accomplishments” of his administration and he actually uses right to work as an accomplishment…yep he’s proud of the hand he has had in killing unions in this country and the result of lower wages for the people who are left working here…I mean, who the hell is that aimed at? At best, right to work is supported by only about 40% of the people in Michigan and those are all repubs…does he think that any independent who supports working people is going to think that’s a plus? I wonder if he should put in new ads that he poisoned an entire city and has done nothing to help Flint? I wonder if another ad should be that he passed the biggest tax increase on retirees in the history of the state? Or, another one that he and his repub cronies rigged the system so even though dems got more votes total in the last election, repubs control the entire state? You get my drift…The ads against Brian Calley are going to write themselves….and Snyder is not too bright if he thinks his “accomplishments” will sway anyone to continue the policies that have screwed over workers across the state…geez…
Lies and lying liars…
Well….just got back from riding the bike (no skipping for the third day in a row!) and I thought I’d do the last one for the month. I’m sure you’ve heard by now about the White House correspondents dinner and the roasting of the trump “administration” by the comedian Michelle Wolf…and the outrage, outrage, I tell you, about her calling out Sarah Sanders for lying to us every day from the podium in the WH. Now these snowflakes can’t take being told the truth? I wonder if truth to them is like Kryptonite…that if they get too close to it it will kill them? I had the thought the other day about how they can keep doing it day in and day out…I’m not sure about you but if I lied as much as she does it would corrode my well being but it appears like she and the other lying liars in this administration thrive on the lies, and the media does, too…after all, they keep letting them get away with it…for just once, I’d like to see one of the WH correspondents just get up and leave when she lies…maybe the rest of them would follow…we can only hope…geez…
An NRA talking point dies….
Well….with the good news that the NRA is getting it’s records ready for prosecutors who are looking at the conspiracy between Russia and the NRA to funnel Russian money to repub candidates, there was another little noted story about a new study that kills one of the NRA’s talking points that open carry and their more guns everywhere makes us safer and lowers the crime rate. Just one little problem with that…it doesn’t…in fact right to carry laws actually increase the crime rates where they are passed…the study found that in the ten years after these idiotic laws are passed, the incidents of violent crime will be 13 to 15% higher than if they stayed sane and didn’t pass these laws. So, the next time this talking point comes up, we all should call bullshit on it…more guns mean more crime…period. Geez….
Trump just can’t keep his mouth shut…
Well…it has been a strange day so far and I can’t shake the feeling that it is Friday…and I can’t shake the feeling that we are only inches from the idiot boy trump doing his final meltdown….that was really, really evident today with his call in to his propaganda channel, fox news, and the consensus of people who have seen it is that he is “unhinged”….and even the folks on fox cut him off when they understood that he was getting into shaky legal territory with his meandering rant. That was confirmed when the US attorney that is working on the Cohen case filed a motion less than two hours later saying that since idiot boy said that Cohen only did a “tiny, tiny little fraction” of trump’s legal work, they should expedite the review of documents seized in the raid of Cohen’s home and offices…and that the documents are not likely to be protected by attorney-client privilege. That wasn’t the only thing the moron in chief said…he also confirmed he lied when he said he knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels hush money by saying that Cohen represented him when dealing with Daniels. I can see Daniel’s attorney just grinning since the idiot boy just can’t keep his mouth shut….I say keep it up, moron, prison is getting ever closer….impeach…
