Well….just got the coffee working and wanted to do a short one on an article that I just read on Huff post….the company Switch is putting in a new 1GW solar installation in Arizona that will produce electricity at 4.9 cents a kilowatt hour including the cost of the installation….if you’re not sure if this is good or not, you have to just look at the average cost of electricity from various other sources in Arizona…including coal and gas fired plants that cost consumers there almost 13 cents a KW hour. Now, the repubs and the idiot trump continually bleat that the “free market” is the most wonderful thing that has ever happened but don’t really mean it…doing everything in their power to continue to support the more expensive, dirty forms of energy since they get so much of their political funding from coal and oil companies…but, with people waking up to the cost saving that are available by using solar power, nothing they can do can stop companies from looking at the bottom line and saving their companies money by buying solar power. Coal is going to die no matter what idiot by does…he may be able to delay it some but it is inevitable….

Defending an abuser…
Well….the repub party continues to sink to new lows after trying to defend the child molester Roy Moore in the Alabama senate election, and now that continues with the full throated defense of Rob Porter, a senior WH adviser who resigned yesterday after revelations of domestic abuse surfaced from both of his ex-wives. This is the party of family values, folks…the party that has beaten the dems over the head with their holier than thou attitudes for the past 30 years but now we see the reality…that they are perfectly fine with hiring abusers just as long as no one finds out about it…and even when it is found out, they continue to support these folks, with Orrin Hatch saying he would hire “as many Rob Porters as he could” and that he is a “fine man”…yeah, no, no man can be a “fine man” if he verbally and physically abuses his wife or significant other…and this is just not up for debate…any incidence of this and that disqualifies you period….and the sick thing is that trump and his cronies knew about Porter’s abuse of both of his exes before they hired him…with this latest expose of how the repubs really feel about women, they have no damn right to lecture anyone on “family values” or morality…they sacrificed that when they elected a serial sexual abuser to the WH and are perfectly fine with it…impeach….
Okay, just one more…
Well…I have never done 7 of these in a day but the topics just keep inspiring me to comment, so here goes again. Not sure if you heard the new pronouncement from the EU that they will no longer do trade deals with any country that is not in the Paris Climate Accord…yep, the “great dealmaker” and well known idiot trump shot the US in the foot by his moronic withdrawal from the Paris accords…and now, the “great deals” he was going to make with them are gone…the possibility of any deals is gone, too…and that is just another instance where this in over their heads administration didn’t think at all about the consequences of their “America first” bullshit….and the effect of their stupidity and ignorance of how the world works has essentially given leadership on trade, that used to be ours, to China and the rest of the world. I applaud the EU for putting their money where their mouths are….never in my lifetime have I seen the US get out-maneuvered on every level from diplomacy, to trade, to innovation, and leadership in science than I have in the year that trump and his minions have been destroying this country…and it continues…what are you going to do about it, repubs? Again, nothing….impeach….
A ray of hope…
Well…as I said in the personal update this morning, I was going to have a few topics this morning but I don’t remember being this prolific in a single morning. But, there is one more thing that I wanted to talk about that gives all of us who want a functioning democracy a ray of hope….yesterday, two of the objective SC justices refused to take on a case on the egregious repub gerrymandering that has damaged our democracy and has helped them rig elections across the country. What some pundits that follow the court are speculating is that this means that the Wisconsin case that has already been argued has been decided and that it will strike down partisan gerrymandering once an for all across the country; so there is no need to take on any other cases that deal with it. If this is true, this will be the death knell of the repub party that is only in power thanks to this abuse of democracy…and it will ensure fairness and restore trust in the electoral process that has been destroyed by the repubs….I’ll have my fingers crossed….
A military parade?
Well….with all of the outrages that have come out of the idiot and his administration, the latest has got to be the most un-American thing I have ever heard. The five time deferred, draft dodger, cadet bone spur *president wants to spend 30 million dollars of our money to have the military suck up to him by having a parade of military hardware through DC just so he can look *presidential….and show the world that he just like the rest of the tin pot dictators that he seems to love….never in the history of the country has there been such an insecure idiot sitting in the WH who needs his ego stroked everyday and then throws a hissy fit when it doesn’t happen to his liking…just like his complaint that it was “treasonous” that the dems didn’t applaud his bullshit at the state of the union. When, repubs? When are you going to think of this country just frickin once and put an end to this insanity? Never…it appears….impeach….
Incurious basterd….
Well….we all know that the idiot trump doesn’t read, with daily briefings having to be kept to one page with bullet points or he loses interest…unless they put idiot boys name in every paragraph…and now, with the release of the dem response to the fake Nunes memo, the idiot’s staff is saying that the 10 page response is “too long” for him to read so they will “brief” him on it…I don’t care how long it is, or if it is done in crayon, this moron won’t understand it anyway….now, in my long lifetime, I have never seen a *president that didn’t have the capacity to read 10 frickin pages and understand them…when my kids were 8 years old they could read and understand more than that….and when I was 8 years old I was explaining nuclear war to my classmates in 3rd grade…but that was back in the day when we were proud to gain new knowledge every day, and no one made excuses for the willfully ignorant….but, this is the modern repub party, folks…a party that welcomes Steve King, Devin Nunes, Darryl Issa, and the idiot in chief…impeach…
Not clapping is treason?
Well…sitting here finishing my 3rd cup of coffee and thought I’d do a little comment on the idiot trumps assertion that not clapping for a *president amounts to treason…and again, we are reminded that the repubs still don’t know that there is video tape…as absurd as the whole idea is, that not stroking the ego of the narcissist in chief is treason, I just saw a few times…well, many, many times that the repubs didn’t clap for Obama…including the idiot boy at the white house corespondents dinner and Paul Ryan at every one of Obama’s states of the union…in every one, we see Joe Biden on his feet applauding while Ryan sits there with the “smarmy granny killer” look on his face. So, let’s just agree that it is not “un-American” to stay silent for someone who is a racist asshole and is pushing policies straight out of the gilded age…it is really every American’s duty to expose their contempt for an ignorant ass who conspired with an enemy to steal the election…impeach…
Some small bites…
Well….sitting here waiting for the Falcon Heavy launch after I filed my last taxes, so I thought I’d do a few small bites instead of a long one for now….you know how fricking ridiculous the idiot trump is, but he went full Nazi yesterday in a speech from Ohio calling the dems lack of applause for idiot boy “treasonous”… again showing that this ignorant boor has no idea what treason is…but I can tell him…hey trump, treason is working with a foreign power to subvert our democracy…is that simple enough for you? Do you recognize that? We do, and you are going to jail for it….how sick do you have to be to be that needy? To just HAVE to have people applaud every idiotic thing you say and do? Oh, and it came out yesterday that idiot boy and his Huckster press secretary lied their asses off when they tried to justify firing Comey, saying that the rank and file had lost confidence in his leadership…now, this can’t be true, and it was proven to be nothing but lies from internal documents that were acquired by some news organization by the freedom of information act…and it can’t be true since trump and his minions don’t know the definition of leadership…certainly no one in his “administration” shows any….okay….that’s enough for now…might be back for another one later but I need to watch the launch first….
Dumb, dumb, dumb…
Well…we all know that trump is an ignorant idiot with an IQ barely larger than a stump, and this morning we got just another example of how stupid he really is….after his favorite show, fox and friends, lied about protests that were going on in London…saying they were against the idea of a national health service when they were really about the fact that the conservatives there won’t fund it and that has led to cutbacks….so idiot boy gets on twitter and parrots the lie in a tweet…and the response was not pretty to see…well…for those of us that see trump as one of the dumbest people in the world it WAS pretty to see….oh, and the stock market is down another 300 points…tired of all the winning yet? Impeach….
Trump is STILL working with (for?) the Russians…
Well…with all of the “memo” crap that has been filling the media for the past week, a little CIA meeting has flown under the radar and it really shouldn’t have if the media was doing their jobs. Just this past week, the head of the CIA, Mike Pompeo, met with his counterparts in the Russian GRU (KGB) for reasons that are being kept secret…and you can guess why….both of the Russians that came here to meet with this idiot were specifically named in sanctions prohibiting them from coming into the US…and do you wonder why they were under sanctions? Both of them were in charge of the GRU, and the GRU was in charge of interfering with our election and getting the idiot trump elected. I don’t remember Obama lifting sanctions and inviting the people screwing with our country to come here and discuss anything…and this invitation comes after trump decided to break the law by ignoring the law that placed new sanctions on Russia for their election interference…something he HAD to do and does not have the power to ignore….I wonder what they were bringing trump? More orders or bribes? Look, we already know the the idiot trump has broken the law hundreds of times since the Russians installed him…so what are you going to do about it repubs? Every day you protect trump you are getting deeper in the swamp of obstruction of justice…I’m talking to you “onefitty” Ryan….impeach…
