Well….have been polluting this space for quite a while with all things trump so I think today, I will not do that….there are other topics to talk about and I think I’ll do that instead. It has been heartening to see the response to the neo-nazis who have been polluting cities across the country with their hate and racism…starting in Charlottesville and then in Boston over the weekend where 40,000 people turned up to counter the 100 or so Nazis that had hunkered down in a gazebo in a park there…they Nazis called it a “freedom of speech” rally but the only speech they care about is their hate speech that has no place in any society…these Nazi idiots had been emboldened by trump having supported them and had scheduled 37 more “rallies” across the country that have since been cancelled…since these supposed tough guys as scared shitless of good Americans calling them out and that there are finally consequences to their actions…public shaming, job loss, and sunlight are the best antidote to these haters and they have crawled back under the rocks where they came from….another big miscalculation these morons made is their belief that real Americans would buy into their hate since the echo chambers they listen to convinced them they would….turns out that they are still fringe assholes and companies across the world are shutting down their hate sites and starving them of the money that supports their racism…who’d have thought that so many people and companies would do the right thing and step on these cockroaches? Keep it up….

August 22nd
Well…back to sleeping crappy again and last night was the worst one in quite a while…so, I feel a little crappy this morning even though I was good last night….don’t hurt too much today and it looks like I may have to take the day off the bike with the rain today…I am going out to get some powerball tickets this morning with the jackpot being close to 700 million….that would be cool to win…did get the shower cleaned yesterday…made the mistake of putting my glasses on when I looked at it and could see the work that needed to be done…over 2 hours of work but it looks good now…will do the rest of the bathroom today but that will only take about a half hour….other than that, not much to do today…may have lunch with T but I’m not sure about that…more later….
The eclipse…
Well…I have a little problem with all of the breathless reporting that the solar eclipse today was “rare” and a “once in a lifetime event”….since it’s not true….most every year there are at least one total eclipse…this one was a little unusual since it crossed the entire US and lots of people could see it, but it is not rare if you take the entire world into account…in 7 years there will be one that comes onshore near Texas and goes up the east coast to Maine….and in 2026, there will be a 95% eclipse here in GR…and you only have to go a little toward Detroit to see it in totality. The one today was still pretty cool and I took a look at it with a stack of 5 exposed 35 mm films and that worked like a champ…had forgotten all about that method until I saw it on twitter earlier in the day…..
Trump has broken the Secret Service…
Well…run across this little nugget in the news today….the Secret Service has already burned through it’s entire yearly budget protect trump, his family, and his cronies in only 7 months….it’s even gotten so bad that some agents have hit the ceiling of the overtime they are allowed to have and have been working for free on some weekends. At 3 million a pop to visit one of his atrocious golf courses, it’s no wonder he is burning through the cash so fast…but, it’s not his cash so I’m sure he doesn’t give a damn….now, just one question..is this making America great again? Maybe for the idiot, but not for the SS agents who are being treated as servants by trump and his family….and to think, there was that huge right wing uproar when Obama wore a tan suit…where are those voices now? Impeach….
August 21st
Well…it’s eclipse day and it looks like it will be cloudy so there won’t be much to see….I did see a little trick using your cell phone to watch it but I think I’ll make a pinhole camera, too…slept okay last night but feel a little crappy today…my son’s server has been down since yesterday and that is a little irritating….no tv to watch….oh, well…have been coughing all morning and I think it may be a bug…might be a part of why I feel crappy today….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same….I do need to clean the bathroom today but I’m not sure I will or not…one good thing is my back still doesn’t hurt and I’m not sure why….more later….oh, the powerball is up to 650 million so I am going to have to find some cash to get in on it….
Serves them right….
Well…there is a bit of delicious irony going on in the farm states around this country and all I can say is it serves them right…okay, buried the lede here but I’ve been reading about the shortage of farm labor that is leaving food rotting in the fields…and I wonder why there is a shortage? Could it be the racist asshole in the White House and his ICE gestapo? The delicious part of this is that rural/farm areas went overwhelmingly for the idiot….and these people that are now whining probably voted for trump. So, morons….elections have consequences and now maybe you can get over your dem hate and use your minds to stop voting for repubs up and down the ballot…they don’t give a damn about you and never have….I really don’t want to wish ill on anyone, but damn, this is what happens when you elect an idiot….
August 20th
Well…running late today and almost forgot to do this one before I got on the bike….had a nice day yesterday and got some cleaning done so it looks like I won’t have to do any but the bathroom today….slept okay and don’t have a lot of pain today so no pain killers before the bike ride….my back has been pain free for days now and that is really weird…..but, I’ll take it….Tom stopped over yesterday and we swapped food…it was nice to meet one of his daughters….looked at the powerball and it is 650 million for wed…might have to spend the rest of my cash in hand to buy a couple of tickets…..not much to do today….need to get on the bike in a minute and then just veg for the day…more later….
Nice job, donnie…
Well….was just sitting here reading about the fallout to the racist trump’s meltdown from Tuesday…there has been huge amounts of political damage done, with all of his rich guy buddies bailing from his advisory committees and then most of them folding so the “people waiting in line to join”, as the idiot asserted, have no place to join….but, the best, most delicious result is hitting the idiot in the pocketbook. Since Tuesday, there have been at least 15 non-profits and other companies who have cancelled events at his ugly, gaudy Mar a Lago resort….and I am sure there will be many more to follow. Now, this couldn’t happen to a worse person…while I feel for the people who work there who will be out of a job, they are crappy jobs that trump doesn’t pay anything for….I hope this will be the final straw to make the idiot see that his time is over and he’ll give up and resign…he is going to jail anyway and should spend the last year of freedom with his idiot family…oh, I guess he’ll be in prison with them so there is that…impeach…
August 19th
Well…running a little late today…woke up early and then went back to sleep…something I never do….so I didn’t get up until 7:30…and the Man U game was already on…they look pretty good but no score yet…slept okay last night and feel okay if a little slow this morning…won’t get on the bike until the match is over and that may be a good thing…I got sucked into youtube yesterday watching SD concerts…found one from this year and then another one that I saw in person from Pine Knob and that was pretty cool….and T got tickets to go see them here in GR and I am happy about that…this will be the 7th time I’ve seen them and any fan should see them at least once….not much to do today….I do need to clean the bathroom and I am going to force myself to do that….more later…
Not a bad day…
Well….was thinking of doing one on the idiot trump and his firing of Steve Bannon today..or that SB quit…who knows? Everything coming out of the WH is a lie so there is no way to know the truth…and it doesn’t really matter…just another racist asshole being fired is a good thing…now there is just one more to go and that will be the idiot trump. Oh, I guess this one is about him…damn…and the good thing about this is ole Bannon has announced he is going to war with trump with the backing of a couple of billionaires….and his Nazi rag breitbart….so, there is going to be a run on popcorn the next month or so…this could be the crack in the base that everyone has been writing was going to happen…after all, trump’s base only reads breitbart and listens to fox news and they believe all that crap….maybe this will convince them that trump really is an idiot…impeach…
