Well…I am so pissed off…another day, another 10 dead school kids…how many more times do I have to write this? It breaks my heart that more parents are not going to have their kids come home from school today….that’s ten more kids who will never go to school, never get to fall in love, never get to be cool…to quote Neil Young…when will we stop this?

Well…I hate it when Windows does an update on my computer….it changes things and the computer works differently…and it took almost two hours last night…slept okay last night but feel a little slow today with not being good last night…so, I am easing into the day…just put a pork shoulder in the oven at high heat to brown it some before I take the heat down and cover it for slow cooking the rest of the day….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and I don’t know how much I’ll do today….just have no motivation right now so I guess I’ll just wait to see how the day unfolds….I did remember to put the heat on last night so I didn’t freeze overnight and it is comfortable in here right now….not much to do today….just need to get out on the bike but the wind is blowing some so it will be a little work….but, that’s okay….more later….
Another witch goes down….
Well…with the idiot trump continuously calling the Mueller investigation a “witch hunt”..I just had to laugh this afternoon when another “witch” was charged and has decided to cooperate with the investigation…and this is not good news for Paul Manafort. Manafort’s ex-son in law has decided to save his skin and testify against him….and you have to remember that the daughter he was married to called her father scum and that she would never talk to him again. So now, repubs, how many witches does it take for you to take your jobs seriously and uphold the Constitution? Especially you, Devin Nunes, you’ve been shown to be a treasonous asshole with the report just released by the Senate that debunks everything you put in your cherry-picked report….there WAS collusion between trump and Russia and the IC was right in all of their allegations…so, resign already…and then sit and wait for Mueller to come after you…hope you have an nice cell picked out, Devin…you’re going to need it…impeach…
Crooks…all of them…
Well…not sure if you saw this little tidbit of news about the ongoing Michael Cohen saga, and the slush fund he was running for himself and the trumps…it appears that someone in the treasury department has been deleting the SAR reports (Suspicious Activity Reports) that describe the money inflows and outflows to Cohen’s LLC’s…one of which was used to pay off Stormy Daniels. Now, since the databases were first used in the early computer era, not one report was ever deleted from this database…not one, and now we have two that have disappeared and they just happen to be ones that deal with Cohen’s crimes….and that means the criminality of this “administration” is pernicious and has reached into the institutions we depend on to uphold the rule of law…but that doesn’t bother this group of crooks…they think the law is something that doesn’t apply to them…after all, the criminal in chief has been getting away with lying, cheating, and stealing his whole life and has never been held accountable…but, the time is coming that the idiot trump is going to be gone…and Ryan and McConnell, too, since it was revealed the other day that the NRA funneled Russian money to them, too…tick, tock….impeach…

Well…running exactly on time today and it is funny that I always get here on Thursday around 7:50…but it was slow driver day today with everyone being 15 below the speed limit and that is just damn irritating…and had to do the two store two step again today…but, it’s a nice day and I have time so I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much…slept a little iffy last night with forgetting to put the heat on and it got down to 60 before I realized it…can shut it off again this morning with the temp coming up pretty fast…didn’t do much yesterday but I do need to clean the fridge today…it’s almost empty so it’s a good time to do it….I did get some ribs and a Boston shoulder roast for cheap…they were on sale and then 20% off on top of that…got an 8 pound roast for under 8 bucks so that was cool….not sure how I’m going to cook it but I couldn’t pass it up for that price…not much to do today…can get on the bike as soon as I have my coffee and that makes it spring to me…more later….
Trump is just damn dumb…
Well…it it wasn’t already obvious that trump is the dumbest person in Washington, other than Louie Gohmert, you just need to look at the latest in the ongoing Korea saga to have it confirmed. Yesterday, North Korea threatened to call off the summit with idiot boy because of the joint US/South Korea military exercises…exercises that were first rescheduled to avoid the Olympics and that the north knew about and didn’t say a word about until now. And, trump is so ignorant of anything that didn’t include him that he didn’t know that the three previous times there was an agreement with NK, from the 90′s until today, NK pulled out of them at the last minute….and now, the WH is trying to spin it that they didn’t want the talks to happen anyway. Everyone else on the planet knew that trump was being played but his huge ego wouldn’t let him see it…just damn dumb…impeach….
May 16th
Well…running late today and I just can’t get started….again….had a nice day yesterday with C coming into town and getting out for a beer….but, I feel really slow this morning and I know it’s from only eating one meal….and my stomach is still giving me fits and I’m not sure why….I did get some stuff done yesterday and this place is clean so I guess that’s something….and it is nice outside so I can get on the bike as soon as the workout is done….I did have to wash it yesterday…it was so covered with crap from riding in the wet that I just needed to try to keep it maintained….okay, this is getting to be too much work right now so I am going to go read the news and have more coffee….more later….
It’s pay for play and it’s sickening…
Well…in case you were wondering why the idiot trump was working to end sanctions on the Chinese company ZTE, the answer was revealed this morning….it a pure pay for play…and it is sickening that the idiot boy is using the US government to line his pockets…again. The revelation today that the Chinese government is going to invest 500 million in a trump resort that is going to be built in southeast Asia…yep, you heard that right…sanctions that were put in place on ZTE for selling American technology to North Korea and Iran are now being lifted after trump got a bribe from China….nothing like this has ever happened in the history of our country and the damn repubs are just sitting there letting this idiot sell off our country’s strategic diplomacy for his own profit…and trump is probably funneling some of this cash to Ryan and McConnell to buy their silence….this is not how it is supposed to work and that makes it even more imperative that we get off our asses and vote come November…this crap has got to stop…impeach…
May 15th
Well…I guess it’s one of the effects of not sleeping again is that I’m here this early…I mean it’s not even 6:30 yet….how can I be bored this early? Oh, well….had a nice day yesterday with a top down run out and back to pool…oh, and I won for the first time in a few weeks…my stomach has settled down and I’m not sure what the problem was…still feels a little weird but it’s okay….I think I’ll have to continue to eat more to try to avoid it getting bad again….and the soreness that normally comes with the miles piling up on the bike is starting to move around…my right shoulder tendons are the starting point this year and my hands have been bad, too, so I’ll have to remember to take the ibuprofen before the bike today…and, I need to get out early with rain all around but not here right now…and, I need to clean up some here with C coming into town this aft….more later…
trump’s a job saver…just not here…
Well…despite all his promises (lies), the idiot trump has not been able to save one job here in the US as the pace of offshoring has accelerated with the huge tax giveaway to corporations….so now, he is going to try to save jobs in China. The jobs in question are with a Chinese company called ZTE who makes mobile phones and other electronic devices…the only problem is that the company is under sanctions for selling American technology to the North Koreans and Iran. So now, the most lawless *president in the history of our country is going to favor a law breaking company for some damn reason…maybe to curry favor with the Chinese? Who the hell knows? trump thinks there is no need for the state department since he makes the “best deals” and he just doesn’t care at all for the rule of law….god, I am so tired of this crap…oh, and there have been 50 people killed in Gaza today protesting the move of the US embassy in Israel that the idiot trump made to make Netenyahu happy…so much winning….impeach…
