Well…sitting here watching Man U play Brugge in the champions league and thought I’d try to get something out today even though I’m at the goal for the month….it has been one of those low energy days that I don’t like too much and I’m kind of sure that it is from not eating enough yesterday….just couldn’t do it….okay.. going to go look for a topic…okay, here’s a sick one…the repubs are at it again, fighting the expansion of Medicaid in Alaska since it is such a conservative value to deny poor people access to healthcare while they subsidize the hell out of business and the lawyers that will be bringing this suit…this will probably be led by Paul Clement who has been sucking the peoples money for years fighting gay marriage and anything else that would make this a better country…these fees have grown to be in the millions for this guys firm and to me is just another of the incestous forms of “wingnut welfare” where the repubs get their cronies involved to be able to bleed the taxpayers for their evil crusades….okay…that’s enough for now…need to go back to the match before my mood goes completely sour…

Gun Hypocrisy…
Well…after the latest mass shooting here in the US, the go to talking point for the right was that it was the gun free zones that caused the deaths since that’s where they occurred…not that crazies can get their hands on guns easily or that the hate spouted by the right spurred these nuts on….but the latest bit of hypocrisy is so blatant that I wonder why the media…oh, yeah, it’s the media…has not picked up on this…or at least not the people that used to do this job…while the right and the NRA are always pushing for more and more guns anywhere…even in elementary schools as they have here in Michigan…since they push the idea that “good guys with guns can stop bad guys with guns” but I guess it doesn’t apply to them…at every repub debate, meeting or event, guns are banned for a very surprising reason when you listen to the repubs normal talking points…they are banned for the “safety of the visitors at these events” so, guns everywhere else makes you safer but only at repub events do they make you less safe? The NRA even bans weapons at their conventions, a place where you would think that the “good guys with guns” would be welcomed to make that convention the safest place in the world. Look, lets be blunt…many. many studies have shown that more guns mean more killings…so,the next time you hear anyone on the right saying you should be able to carry a gun anywhere, ask them why not at their conventions? Hypocrites…but, you know that….geez…
JEB! is either stupid or evil…or both…
Well…another day, another bit of stupidity from the supposed “smart” Bush boy and this is starting to show that ole GW might just be the “smart one”….and that is just scary…just the other day, the idiot had to open his mouth since his bubble advisers think that attacking Planned Parenthood is a winning issue, even though more than 80% of the women in this country want the repubs to leave PP alone. But, to appeal to their troglodyte base, ole JEB! has to toe the hard line; destroying any chance he may have had in the general. What ole JEB! said the other day just shows that he is stupid or evil…”I don’t think that PP should get a penny…since they are not doing women’s health issues. They’re involved in something way different than that”. So, JEB! cancer screenings, contraceptive care, Pap tests, and everything else that is done for the millions of women that us PP are not “actually doing women’s health”? This whole thing just shows that ideology trumps women in the eyes of these idiots…that they just don’t give a damn about anyone but themselves…and they are proud of that, they are proud of their ignorance on issues that don’t affect them…JEB!, Just go back to Kennebunkport and leave the rest of us alone…you are one stupid AND evil MF….geez….
Ted Cruz is just sick…
Well…with all of the crazy on the right these days, I guess ole Ted has to turn it up to 11 to just be heard…but the way that he is doing it just irritates the hell out of me…in trying to capture the religious right, ole Ted has put women in the cross hairs, again, by trying to get the religious nuts in this country to try to shut down Planned Parenthood and by doing this, eliminate healthcare for over 20 million women in this country. Now, you know how I feel about religion…that is should be practiced in church and not jammed down people’s throats….or even better, not practiced….and using it to hurt people is no religion that anyone should be proud of…who gave them the right to interfere with anyone’s personal choices? I know I’ve talked about this before and, as I sit here, I am tired..tired of the daily religious crap that we have to deal with here in the US…tired of the religious playing the victim all day every day….what ole Ted wants here is a theocracy pure and simple with him as the preacher in chief….all a bunch of crap…okay, this one was a little disjointed but I tried to get the point across…
The cost of Trump’s nonsense…
Well…if you’ve heard a newscast or read the paper lately, you know of the Donalds pledge to round up and deport all the undocumented immigrants that are now in the US on “day one” if he is elected president…yeah, I never in a million years thought I’d use Trump and president in the same sentence either…kind of creepy to say the least..okay, back to the topic…one of the things that ole Donald doesn’t talk about is the cost to do this…well…there are now estimates that do put costs to this idea and that makes it even more nonsense….the latest estimates say that it would cost from 400 to 600 BILLION dollars over 20 years to get the job done….so, he thinks that spending that money just to satisfy the haters is a better deal than say, fixing the roads and bridges, or paying for college for a whole generation of Americans? It is just like a repub that they can always find money for war and hate but never to make citizens lives better…I wonder why I’m surprised at this? Shouldn’t be, it’s been this way since saint Ronnie….geez…
Another jaw dropper from the right….
Well….was reading some the past day and came across this jaw dropper from a right wing radio host…can’t find the article to get the particulars but here is the gist: his plan, which he espoused on his radio show was that we give all the undocumented people in his state….I think it was Idaho…30-60 days to ‘self deport” and after that, and here comes the jaw dropper…the state would “own” any of the undocumented that are found to be there and could be put to work doing work that needs to be done for the state for room and board…yep, the right is right back to what they still defend, slavery, for 11 million people in the US…I don’t know what to say about this one…the plan and words speak for themselves….the right still thinks slavery is a good idea….I’m shaking head….geez…
Okay, here’s an update…I didn’t want to just post this without the facts so here they are: the radio host’s name is Jan Mickleson and he is in Iowa, not Idaho….and he has hosted Walker, Fiorina, Carson, and Santorum…all repub candidates for president….and his question was” “What’s wrong with slavery”….where the hell do they get these guys?…geez…again…
Just thinking…
Well…I have been thinking of what to write about this afternoon and have come up empty…Trump hasn’t said anything today and the rest of the idiots on the right are just doing the argle bargle that they normally do…Rubio came out and said he supports what BLM is trying to do but then said that the government has no role in fixing the disparity in policing that is felt by blacks in this country…trying to have it both ways much? Just another mealy mouthed nothing from the water boy…and we have Walker saying that he would appoint a Wisconsin education activist to his cabinet and the activist saying “no frickin way” he would serve in a Walker administration and he hasn’t even talked to the idiot in over two years….another lying lie from the liar who is trying to blur his hard right hatred for education and teachers on the back of dems who are actually trying to make things better….I can’t believe there is even going to be another repub debate in September…really, what’s the point? they all read from the same talking points and are interchangeable, so why listen? The first one was for entertainment value and to laugh at their incompetence…but, that wears thin after a while so I won’t be watching the next one…geez…
Mike Huckabee IS the village idiot…
Well…I know you’ve heard all the just frickin nuts things that ole Huck has said over the past few months but yesterday just vaulted him into village idiot status when he took issue with Black Lives Matter activists and their tactics, saying that MLK would not approve of them…and then going into the right’s talking point that “all lives matter” and that no lives are any more special than any other. Where have you been living, Huck? In your bubble of white privilege, you just can’t understand what the problem is…after all, no one is trying to take black people’s vote away…oh, wait, yes you are….no one is jailing black people on trumped up charges or murdering them …oh, wait, yes you are….and there are no overt racists in your party that will do anything to ensure that blacks are second-class citizens…oh, wait, yes there are. MLK would be standing as he did through the 50′s and 60′s…standing up to the entrenched racism in this country, standing up for equal rights and opportunity for all…and that is what BLM is doing now…what do you expect, Huck? You and your ilk have treated minorities in this country like crap forever…do you expect them to just take it? I applaud the work of BLM for shining sunlight on the racists and racism in this country…keep up the good work BLM!
They’re at it again…more discrimination…
Well…just like always, the repubs are supporting new legislation that would codify the ability of the haters to discriminate against the GLBT community…again…now, we have the RNC endorsing the Orwellian sounding First Amendment Defense Act….which would prevent the government from enforcing any anti discrimination laws that protect the LGBT citizens of the US. Yeah, I know…just more of the same old crap from the right wing assholes that are running the repub party these days…but the thing is, the country has moved on from this fight after the supreme cout’s same sex marriage ruling but the repubs just can’t…they just have the need to feel put upon and to restrict the rights of their fellow citizens just to be the mean assholes they are…it is settled law that once you enter the sphere of secular business that you cannot discriminate against any group and cloak it in “religious freedom”…didn’t work when they tried it against black people… and it won’t work this time against gays…just give it up pricks..you’ve lost….geez…
Gun advertising…
Well…this one happened a couple of weeks ago but I just remembered it right now so I thought I’d say my piece so I don’t forget…lately, on one of the cable channels that I some times watch, this innocuous music comes on and the ad shows people going about their days with little stars on them that I didn’t understand…then they show them in some kind of gun training course where they are obviously training to shoot someone..oh, and did I mention that most of the people in the ad are women? Then they close it our with more daily life stuff and more stars showing a woman running, then carrying a purse with it’s own little gun pocket in it as she goes about her errands, I guess….now, you’ve heard me talk here about how I just hate these companies and extremist groups that are trying to normalize the carrying of guns everywhere..but this ad just pushed me over the edge…it was by the gunmaker Glock, and it just made me sick…I have been on this earth a long, long, time and have never once felt the need to carry a gun everywhere I go…and I don’t want to live in a society where people are encouraged to be “squirting metal all over the place” to quote Donald Fagen…..you are much more likely to be hurt or killed by some damn Rambo or Ramboina that think they can save the day than by anything else…needless to say, I will never watch the channel that ran that ad again….oh, that channel is FETV…channel 82 on Dish….geez….
