Well….haven’t done one on sports in a while so I thought I’d see what’s going on in that world…to me anyway…now, Man U is disappointing the hell out of me so far this year…I mean leading until 8 mins to go and then letting Everton back into it and settling for a draw? They just look stiff and they are not playing like a team…there were so many times the defense broke down they got lucky they didn’t lose the game…and this happens in every damn game…with all of the stars on that team, they should do better…if they don’t change something to start scoring more, they can kiss the champions league goodbye for next year. Then Michigan….again, no offense to speak of…they barely squeaked by Rutgers last week and Wisconsin is coming back against them right now and the lead is down to 3 points…not a normal Michigan team at all and it’s getting to be kind of painful to watch them…yeah, I know they are 4-0 but that looks like it’s going to end today against a 1-2 team…and that sucks…one good thing is that nascar is back on in the afternoon today and it isn’t interrupting my nights like it has the past few weeks….not a fan of having cocktails and watching races…would rather watch a movie or a show in my que instead…it just doesn’t feel the same at night with a race on…I would rather watch svengoolie and a bad scifi or horror movie on sat night….and I can do that tonight since the races will be over by then….and then Rat Patrol at 10…..back to normal…

This is unexpected….
Well…there was a bombshell report issued by the repubs here in Michigan about their investigation into voter fraud that was alleged during the 2020 election…can you guess what it said? Nope, not that there was any fraud…it came out and bluntly said there was no fraud and the counts across Michigan were accurate…but the kicker was that it addressed all of the conspiracy theories that the idiot trump was pushing and called them what they were….lies…and that made my jaw drop…from a repub? And every repub that was on the committee agreed with the findings and actually said it out loud…they didn’t bury the report or denigrate the people on the committee…they just said plainly….no voter fraud. And the lead of the committee even said that people should wise up and stop believing the lies that are still being pushed by repubs across the country and that there is no need for an “audit” here…I can’t remember being so surprised by anything in politics in quite a while…oh, and he said that Joe Biden won Michigan fair and square…and that just blew my mind, too….but, my question now is why are they now passing all these laws here that makes it harder to vote if the current ones led to a “free and fair” election? Yeah…they are still hypocrites in my book….
Protecting voting rights here in Michigan…
Well…the cancer of repub voter suppression that has infected this country from coast to coast is one of the most important problems facing us in my lifetime at least…and while we have passed anti gerrymandering constitutional amendments, with repubs still in control of the congress here, they are still trying to rig the system by making it harder to vote…and a thought came to me on the bike today how to fix that…in Michigan, you can get referendum on the ballot if you get enough voter signatures…so, why can’t we do that for a constitutional amendment that would force any change in voting laws to be voted on by the people and not just the legislature? This would keep the repubs from being able to cheat in any election and make fair representation the norm here….if you’ve lived in Michigan, you know how the repubs are spending most of their time trying to rig the next election and to make it easier for them to overturn the fair results if they don’t like the outcome as is happening in many other states, too…so, let’s get this done and stop this election meddling in it’s tracks…geez…
Got my absentee ballot application…
Well…forgot to talk about this one…but I got my first absentee ballot application for my first election here in Muskegon…and all I have to do is sign it and send it back and they will send me the ballot for the local election that is coming up….that is for now, the repubs here in Michigan are trying to make this easy, smooth process much harder in many different ways that include having to send a copy of your ID in with it…and who the hell has a copier anymore? I mean anyone who is retired and doesn’t need one…and that would mean going out to UPS or some other store and paying 1.50 for a copy…what about the people who don’t drive anymore? This is the kind of bullshit that the repubs are doing all across the country to still support the idiot trump’s big lie that mail in ballots are rife with fraud when there was absolutely none in Michigan with almost 7 million ballots cast….so, call your rep or senator and tell them to stop this crap of trying to make sure that people can’t vote…it’s the Russian playbook still in work….and the repubs are more than happy to support Putin over the US….geez…
Another reason to hate trump and his minions…
Well….god, I can’t wait til these assholes are gone and trump is walked off to jail…in one last stab at the people of Michigan, trump told his minions to limit the amount of vaccine doses sent to Michigan…we have gotten 10 times less than red states and they are not even taking appointments for them until December of this year…so just because trump hates Whitmer, more Michiganders are going to die…and I could be one of them…hey Michigan repubs, what do you think about the asshole now?
Trump loses again in Michigan….
Well…the news just came out that the Michigan board of Canvassers has certified the votes here and that makes it another loss for idiot boy. The vote was 3-1 with only the trumpiest of trumpsters refusing to do his job and that certification means that our 16 EV’s will go to Joe and there is not a damn thing idiot boy can do about it…he has lost….and with the supreme court refusing to take trump’s suit against Pennsylvania and their certification going forward after that…he is frickin done and I can’t smile big enough about that…his hand picked judges who he thought would protect him bailed on the case and that ends his bullshit there….I just can’t wait for the full bore meltdown that is going to come tonight…I am gleefully waiting for it…should be fun….hee, hee, hee…
It’s a felony to not certify…
Well…I really don’t like the fact that we here in Michigan are in the spotlight today due to repub shenanigans about the certification of the votes from the election….it seems all of the damn repubs only think elections are legal when they win them and they will break any law to make sure they do “win” them. So, today here, about 25 minutes ago, the state board of canvassers met to just count up the already certified votes from every country and then certify that count is correct….but two of them 4 on the board are repubs so do you think they are going to follow the law? Not a chance and that is why we need to prosecute every damn one of them for breaking the law…there needs to be consequences for screwing with our elections….and one way would be to prosecute the two repub members of the board for not certifying the vote under the Voting Rights Act of 1965 where it specifically says that failure to certify the votes in any state is a felony….and this was put in the law since it was one of the favorite tactics of the racists in the south to certify white votes but to not certify votes that came from predeominately black areas…and that’s just what the Wayne county repub canvassers tried to do…not certify the votes from Detroit while certifying the votes in the surrounding white suburbs. So, it’s not a “constitutional crisis” like the repubs are bleating, it’s a simple case of breaking the law by not doing their jobs that the repubs are doing here…and they need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law…and now…
We’ll see tomorrow…
Well…as everyone with a functiuonal brain and who has not been asleep for the past 30 years knows, the repub party is corrupt from top to bottom and really doesn’t give a damn about our republic other than how it can be used to enrich themselves and hurt people they don’t like. Tomorrow, we’ll see how deep that rot goes here in Michigan as the state board of canvassers meet at 1pm to certify the votes in the 2020 election…look, the only thing these people are supposed to do is do a little math to see what the votes say…and tabulate them…that’s it, they’re not supposed to look for “voter fraud” or even consider anything other than the counts…and for every year since there has been a state of Michigan, this has gone off without a hitch no matter what party affiliation the canvassers had…but with trumpism staining the repub party, the two repub members of the board are making noises that they won’t certify the vote unless there are audits…yadda yadda…and I guess until they are given ice cream and patted on the head so they will stop their tantrum. Every election official in this state has said that there is no fraud, no under count of trump votes, or any other delusion that the repubs have fished out of thin air. Trump lost the state by over 155,000 votes and no amount of “audits” or “recounts” is going to change that…so these repub canvassers need to just do their jobs and stop hurting our democracy by these lies of fraud and uncertainty int he outcome of the election…idiot boy lost and lost big and no amount of Qanon tin foil hat bullshit is going to change that…get the frick over it….
Everybody breathe…
Well…we are going to have to eradicate the stain of trumpism from all of our country after this bullshit is over…but I do have one piece of advice for our side…just breathe folks…they are not going to be able to steal the election even though they are trying really hard to do so…just yesterday, a couple of racist trump goons on the Wayne County board of canvassers refused to certify the vote despite there being absolutely no evidence of voter fraud…and idiot boy tweeted out his congratulations to these two idiots but that was, as they say, a little premature…when couple of hours later, and after an epic rant by one of the dems on the board, these racist assholes gave in and certified the election. How do I know these morons are racists?
Well, they agreed to certify the white suburbs of Detroit but not Detroit itself that is 80% AA…these two really thought they had the power to overturn all those votes in their little spasm of fascism…but, our dem Secretary of State was not having it and threatened to send state canvassers to do their job if the repubs wouldn’t….so idiot boy did his little victory dance but has been silent since the vote was certified unanimously….oh, one other thing…the repub speaker of the Michigan House has made a statement that there will be no repub electors appointed to overrule the election results….so that stops trump’s bullshit here…bye bye donnie..
Just stay the hell out of Michigan’s business…
Well….as the virus explodes again here in Michigan and our competent governor is forced to take steps again to stop the spread with closing dine in restaurants, bars, and schools for three weeks…we get the predictable comments from trump’s toady, Scott Atlas, who is supposed to be running the covid response…that the people of Michigan should “rise up” to stop the new restrictions…never mind that governor Whitman was the target of a kidnapping and murder scheme that was spurred on by the idiot’s comments on earlier restrictions and this comment will probably do the same this time for the gun-toting morons that belch “freedom” every time government tries to protect us from their stupidity. Look, trump’s cronies did nothing for Michigan when this pandemic started and are still doing nothing as we reach a million new cases a day in the US so they should just shut the hell up and stay out of Michigan’s business…and let our governor do what’s best for this state by listening to the experts and not some washed up doctor who is not an expert in anything but kissing trump’s ass….god, I can’t wait for these assholes to be gone…
