Well…as you can see, took down my last post since it came to light that someone had posted from a parody account that had been picked up by news organizations as real…so, sometimes I make a mistake but I’ll always come back to fix it if I discover the facts. But, I still stand by my idea that separating children from their parents is against international law and treaties that the US has signed and trump and his cronies have opened themselves up to prosecution in the international criminal court in the Hague…..so that’s still true….more later….

Well….running a little late today and just can’t get started…again…I hope it’s not from getting old….slept okay last night and didn’t get up until almost 7 so that is sleeping in to me…still have cramps in my calves this morning so I may have damaged them on the bike yesterday….haven’t taken any ibuprofen for over a week now and that will change today…and yesterday was my left calf and that never hurts…I wonder if pain is going to be normal as I get older….I did order a new pool cue case last night after Tom’s new carbon fiber cue popped into my head…the old one is 46 years old and I am tired of repairing it….and it only cost 23 bucks so I couldn’t pass it up…I did get some cleaning done yesterday but I’m not sure about today…going to have lunch with T and that may set me on a vegging path…more later….
Evil, evil bastards…
Well…don’t believe a damn word trump and the bastards who are kidnapping children say about this new EO that supposedly is going to keep families together…it was all for show since separating them was just a policy that could have been changed with a phone call…but, idiot boy just had to put on a show about how “nice” they are by keeping families together. What about the families that have already been terrorized by separation? Nothing is going to be done to get these kids back with their parents, according to DHS…they don’t even have any records of the names of the families or the kids..and that’s because these racist pricks don’t even think of these kids as people at all…just a way for their cronies to make money and for them to look “tough”…but this isn’t “tough” it is just the kind of sadistic crap that these people live for…bullies act the same way when they torture their victims…and these assholes are nothing more than playground bullies…getting their jollies out of hurting “brown” people…ever see any white kids in any of these trump child concentration camps? Nope, didn’t think so…impeach…

Well…running a little late today with work being done on the road that leads into Meijers…what a pain…and I spent another 60 bucks on groceries and got nothing…they are rebuilding the inside of Meijers, too, and that is even more of a pain…and my damn phone has been acting up after the update over the weekend…need to run out to Verizon this morning to see if they can fix it…slept okay last night but was up at 4:54 again today so there will be a nap in my future…not sure why that has been happening so much lately but I am getting annoyed with it….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I will need to cook today and at least vacuum..but, right now I am going to have coffee and read the real paper newspaper…more later….
Part of it is about the money…
Well…with the continuing outrage (at least from us on the left) about the repubs stealing children from asylum seekers and sending them to secret concentration camps across this country…oh, remember they are “trump concentration camps”…if that is not bad enough, it has come out what these private prison companies are charging for “caring for” these children that they are putting in wire cages…800 dollars a day…yep, for each child they are abusing, you and I are paying these thugs and trump cronies 800 dollars a day. For that money, you could put each child up in a four star hotel and provide them with their own personal nanny and doctor….I think this money is part of the reason for this policy in the first part…along with trump’s racism and hatred of anyone who isn’t white, these private prison companies give millions of dollars to repubs so they will enact policies that will allow them to steal 800 dollars from you and me…we can’t afford to fix our roads or schools, but we can afford to pay private prison companies 800 dollars a day per child…these are the modern repbs folks and they need to go, now! Impeach…
June 20th
Well…woke up at 4 this morning and I am happy I was able to get back to sleep for an hour or so after that…but, after being up and down all night, I feel pretty slow this morning…and my brain isn’t working too well yet…and I forgot to set up the coffee maker last night so I had to do that this morning, too…man, I’m just off lately…I did hear from T yesterday and that made me smile a little…hadn’t heard from her since sat and that is a long time…didn’t get much done yesterday but pay bills but I will have to do more today…have to start thinking about meals for the rest of the week and get them planned…have a freezer full of food but nothing tastes good to me right now….and I know I under ate by a long margin yesterday and I am going to feel it today on the bike…my legs are quite sore from going hard the past week or so so there will be ibuprofen today….more later….
Trump’s concentration camps…
Well…I’m going to propose that whenever anyone talks about detention centers for immigrants, we rebrand them “trump’s concentration camps” to get at the real horror of them…and any administration that has to go to the media and say “we’re not Nazis” has to be pretty horrible. They might not BE Nazis, but they are doing exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews….when they got to the death camps, the children were immediately separated from their parents…and never saw them again…and let’s call this just what this human rights violation is: child abuse…plain and simple child abuse. Everyone in this administration better plan on never traveling outside of the country again…how they are treating these asylum seekers is against international treaties on human rights…and there are countries just itching to punish these assholes by arresting them and sending them to the Hague for trial….let that sink in for a minute…were any of Obama’s administration under threat from the Hague? Nope, didn’t think so…what a criminal operation…impeach…
June 19th
Well…up early again today and feel pretty crappy but that’s partly my fault…had some cocktail materials left over so I used them last night…slept okay but no dreams to speak of…again…but that is normal so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised….I did have a nice ride out and back to pool…which I lost but had lots of fun…..haven’t heard from T since Sat and I’m not sure why that is….it’s been a good ride for the past 20 years but if it’s over I understand that things change and I will look back with a smile….I think I need to take some ibuprofen before the bike ride today…my hands were cramping like crazy yesterday and the cramps in my calves came back, too….in the first 200 yards and that is really annoying…not much to do today….going to just let the coffee work…three days on one pot of coffee is weird but I couldn’t throw 4 cups out….more later….
Having some problems…
Well…no, nothing really serious…even with everything that is going on in the world, I just am having some problems figuring out a topic for today…and that started yesterday as you can see. Oh, okay…let’s talk about the world cup…have been watching quite a few of the games and there have been a lot of surprises…my adopted team from Mexico beat the Germans yesterday and that was not supposed to happen…the Germans looked slow and like they had no ideas how to cope with Mexico’s fast break and energetic defense that challenged every ball for the entire 90 minutes…I’ll surely be rooting for them the rest of the tournament. Another big surprise was when another favorite, Argentina, was tied by Iceland…yep, you heard that right, Iceland tied the powerhouse Argentina and Messi looked pretty ordinary for the best player in soccer…I am a little disappointed that England is playing this aft just when I’ll be shooting pool but they may have a replay somewhere later so I’ll have to look for that…okay, Belgium and Panama is almost ready to start so I’ll end here and try to find something political to write about later….
June 18th
Well…damn, thought I was sleeping in this morning but I got up at 6:02 and that is pretty annoying…it’s already over 80 out there and it is going to be a tough ride today…slept okay last night but had to put the air on with it getting to 87 in here yesterday evening…it took almost two hours to get the temp down 10 degrees and I’m not sure if that is normal…might have to have them come and check the new furnace….didn’t hear from any of my boys yesterday and that is a little disappointing…but, I’m not going to dwell on it…didn’t get much done yesterday and today will be the same with pool this aft…hope it is going to storm later today…haven’t had a good one in a long time and I think we can use the rain…more later….
