Well…I hope you saw the grandstanding this idiot did earlier in the week when he stood on the senate floor and railed and railed against Loretta Lynch getting approved for the new AG to replace Eric Holder….saying she would never get approved if he had anything to do about it…and here’s the irony…after that little tantrum the idiot didn’t even show up for the vote today…yep, when he could no longer get his followers worked up or keep himself in the spotlight, ole Ted just stops doing his job and doesn’t even bother to show up. Now, that would make great presidential material don’t you think? If anything in his presidential duties didn’t personally benefit him, he just won’t show up…and, we all know why he did it…so his no vote wouldn’t be on the record and couldn’t be turned into a negative campaign ad. What a self centered idiot…..geez…

Not much to say…
Well…it has been a busy, busy day today and I have been going since I got up this morning at 6…I did get everything done I wanted to so that is a good thing but I am exhausted from not sleeping last night…and, I didn’t get on the bike since the wind is blowing about 25 mph and that is just too much to enjoy the day…I have been thinking about politics but congress is out of town again so the only thing to talk about is ole Ted and that is already boring so I won’t do that again today….I have never seen such a laughable candidate since sister Sarah…okay, I guess I will talk about ole Ted again…his whole rationale for why he thinks he’s qualified to be president is that he tried to do a lot of things…he tried to stop Obmacare…he tried to stop out of control debt (even though all of it was the fault of repubs he supported) or stopping executive amnesty, or stopping Iran from getting a nuclear bomb…see a pattern here? He has never really accomplished anything…he has just tried…just like I tried to be an astronaut (in my own mind) but just never really accomplished it….if that makes people qualified to be president, I guess there are 330 million more in the US that are just as qualified….I just can’t believe this crap…geez…
No more Ted….
Well…I was going to do one of these on the fact checkers that went over ole Ted Cruz’s speech at Jesus university yesterday but I really don’t need to…there is no parsing of it…it was all lies or half truths that will endear him to the right wing, fact free crowd that vote for asses like him. I can’t understand why he was so giddy about the turnout at the speech, either…the kids that were there were required to be there or be fined by the school….nope…can’t write about this idiot anymore….when I was a kid, this kind of demagogue would have been laughed off the stage just like ole tailgunner Joe McCarthy was after he flamed out…let’s just hope the same thing happens to ole Ted…and now, not later….
Ted Cruz is running…
Well…I’m not sure if I should cheer or just break out the popcorn…Ted Cruz announced he is running for president this morning. I can’t remember anything so surreal as this guy even thinking in his wildest fever dreams that he is qualified to be president….what has he ever done other than shut down the government? As his comments last week show, he doesn’t even understand how the internet works, or accept that the world is getting warmer…or believe in evolution, or know what common core is…or believes that a woman should have control over her own body. With his crazy antics in the senate where he has alienated everyone but the hard core tea party folks, where does his base come from? Where does he get the 51% he would need to get elected in the general? With the general consensus from almost all of the people that have met him that he just a just a huge asshole, this has to be his ego talking…or he is already tired of being a senator and wants to get the grift started just like the quitter from Wassila….whatever the reasons, it is going to be a lot of fun to watch…and it will give me things to write about again….yay….
Tom Cotton is an idiot…
Well…since my shoulder won’t allow me to work out, I thought I’d get to this one early as I wait for it to get warm enough to do the bike ride in shorts. If you haven’t heard, ole Tom Cotton is the ringleader of the 47 repub senators (I wonder what their fixation on the number 47 is?) that sent the ill advised letter to Iran warning that any agreement on their nuclear program with Obama could be rescinded once there is a new president…which he was wrong on by the way…and he showed even more ignorance on the Sunday news shows yesterday, trying to make the point that Iran is dangerous since they already control Tehran. Hey, Tom, do you even know that Tehran is the capital of Iran…and that they have controlled it since it was founded? That would be like saying that Germany has designs on all of Europe since they already control Berlin. It is just an indicator of the ignorance of the current crop of “brains” in the repub party who are either too stupid or too lazy to understand what they continually spout off about…another example being the Common Core standards that Ted Cruz thinks is a federal law the he thinks should be repealed…when it is a set of standards that was developed by the states that they can take or leave. Unless you know what you are talking about repubs, just shut the hell up…geez…
The right is just delusional…
Well…reading about the insane clown posse that is the yearly meeting of conservatives in DC and I have been laughing my head off with some of the ‘facts” that have been tossed around by these idiots…especially by ole Rick Perry and Calgary Cruz….first, ole Rick did a speech today saying that the red states were leading the way in economic growth because of the lack of taxes and regulation…and, if you mean leading the way to the bottom half of all states you would be right…if you look at facts…you know, those things the right doesn’t believe in…you’ll see that every state run by repubs is in the bottom 50% of economic growth with his state one of the worst…and then we have ole Cruz saying by video that we don’t have a president anymore but a dictator since he picks and chooses what laws he is going to enforce and he does things that the congress hasn’t given him permission to do…how wrong is this? As wrong as you can get…first, go back to ole GW and see how many laws he decided to not enforce…can you say torture? And, second, this idiot doesn’t even know how the government works…the executive branch does not have to be given permission by congress to carry out executive branch authority…what the hell is wrong with these ignorant idiots? geez…
Hypocrisy seems to be the theme of the day…Ted Cruz…
Well….with all of the efforts by ole Ted to try to make sure no one in the middle class or working poor get any subsidies to help make their healthcare affordable…we have this delicious little tidbit about where he gets his healthcare….turns out he is covered by his wife’s policy at Goldman Sachs where she is a managing director making over 10 million dollars a year…and, since her policy that is conservatively estimated to be worth over 20 thousand dollars a year is considered part of her compensation, she doesn’t have to pay the estimated 8,500 in taxes it would cost if it was compensation….so in effect, they are getting a tax credit or subsidy of over 8,500 dollars a year to help them purchase their health insurance. I find it so damn hypocritical that ole Ted spends all of his time trying to eliminate Obamacare and it’s subsidies to the little guy while he and his family wallow in the largess of tax breaks for their healthcare…and I bet she even has her income treated like ole Mitt’s as carried interest and pays only 8-10% while the rest of us pay up to 30%. Typical hypocrisy that is rampant from all of the repubs these days…geez…
Republicans are nothing but grifters…
Well…one of the most sickening press conferences I have ever seen was just on tv where Ted Cruz the idiot senator from Texas admitted that the only reason he damn near put the country into default and spurred the shutdown of the government was to raise money from his idiot tea party base…and he admitted that the petition on one of the conservative websites gave him two million names that he could use to grift even more money out of the rubes…all the while he knew that he could never get Obamacare repealed but he just didn’t care that he was costing the country billions of dollars….and his assertion that two million people signing his petition meant that a majority of America wanted it repealed just reveals the repubs only passing acquaintance with math…after all there are 330 million people in this country and I think that is quite a lot more than 2 million…but not on the right or in the Fox news world…what a delusional bunch…geez…
The 40th time is the charm?
Well…never in my lifetime have I seen a political party that isn’t; like the repubs are now, evidenced by the 40th vote, yep that’s right, 40th vote to repeal the ACA. When are these idiots going to get thrown out of congress for wasting the time and money of the American people? Over on the senate side, you have the same damn thing going on with Canadian Cruz vowing to shut down the government if the ACA is not defunded as part of the debt ceiling deal….he is willing to crash the entire world economy just to prevent some people, like me, from being able to get affordable health insurance, and to prevent people with pre-existing conditions from ever being able to be insured…in what twisted vision of America is that good for the people? I have just had enough of the tea partiers trying to shove their fascistic view of life on the sane ones here who believe that we need government to protect us from the Ayn Randian version of capitalism that they love so much….and the bitch of the whole thing is that the people who will benefit from the ACA continue to vote against their own interests…and for these bat shit crazy repubs…geez…
More hypocrisy and nonsense from the repubs…
Well…have been thinking about this one since last night when I heard of the repubs new talking points on why they rejected expanded background checks for gun purchases…but, first, I wanted to talk about the latest bout of hypocrisy…a breathtaking one, at that, that is coming out of the rpubs these days…you have to remember how many of these teabagger idiots voted against aid for the victims of the storm Sandy on the east coast using excuses upon excuses to punish the supposedly “liberal” east coast for whatever crazy-assed fevered reason they had….and now, we have these same teabagger idiots like Ted Cruz immediately asking for federal aid for the people affected by the fertilizer plant explosion and asking that it be done quickly with no offsets or cuts in spending that ole Eric Cantor asked for for the Sandy victims. The worst part here is that these idiots don’t see the irony in their positions and go their merry way using the government to punish those that will never vote for them.
Oh, the nonsense…the latest talking points that are coming out of the repubs on the rejection of background checks is just as breathtakingly stupid as it can be…it goes something like this: Since the background checks wouldn’t catch every person that shouldn’t have a gun, then we shouldn’t pass any law about them…yep, that’s right, if a law is not airtight it shouldn’t be passed…using that logic, there is no reason to pass any law that criminalizes any behavior….since people still murder, there should be no laws that make it illegal, since people still rob banks, there should be no law against it…you get the point…what a bunch of stupid maroons….maybe if we can ridicule these guys for their stupidity, more people will see it and start to vote them out…we can only hope….geez….
