A little nervous?

Well…I guess we now know what the response is going to be to all of the requests for documents from the trump criminal organization….bullshit and bluster that started with the idiot trump tweeting desperate “witch hunt” in all caps and then we had the spectacle of little idiot eric going on fox this morning and trying to laugh at the requests, calling them ridiculous and lying that they asked him for his correspondence with Putin when everyone knows that is not true…and that performance got to members of the committees who are investigating who calmly replied that it appears that eric is scared of something and that they are just doing the job congress should have been doing the past two years…and that’s the point here, if the repubs had been doing their jobs instead of protecting the criminal in chief, there wouldn’t be a need for congress to play catch up by asking for all of this information….it is going to be just delicious to see the trump idiots squirm when the subpoenas start to fly and it is no longer just the niceties of requests that they are getting…hey little boy eric….manafort tried the same bluster and bullshit and guess where he’s going for the rest of his life? Better get your tailor started on that orange jumpsuit…it’s what you’ll be wearing for the next 20 years…impeach…

March 7th

Well…running a little late today with doing the grocery run before this and not getting out of bed until almost 6…I did sleep okay last night and my shoulder continues to improve…slowly…and I have very little pain today so that is a welcome change even with working out yesterday…I did have to take some antihistamine last night since my head was stuffy and I had a headache that had gone on for a few days…I had forgotten how well the little red ones worked and I am still clear this morning…hadn’t taken any of those since last September since they raise your BP too much…I did take an ibuprofen to go with it and that may have something to do with my shoulder being better…need to get the swelling down in the tendons since I can feel them clicking when I move my shoulder…didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I feel okay today so I think I’ll start sorting out stuff that I don’t need anymore and get rid of it…need to simplify and streamline so I’ll have less to move when I do…it’s another leftover day today so I won’t be cooking but I do need to plan for the next stuff I need to cook and get it out of the freezer…I think I have enough in there to eat for a month so…more later….

This is kind of overwhelming…

Well…I think there is a problem with me having some time on my hands lately…I have been sliding back to watching more news than is healthy for me…or for anyone for that matter…but it seems to be important with all that is going on in this country right now…but, that doesn’t make it any less overwhelming when new scandals explode every day….I think I need to try to pace myself and limit the amount of news that I watch or read daily…but, that is me…I’ve always been a news junkie and wanted to know what the heck is going on…not sure why…on a daily basis, not much of the news has any impact on my life and really never has so I can’t explain it…but, I can remember waiting for the newspaper to come when I was about 7 or so and watching the nightly national news shows with Cronkite and Huntley and Brinkley from even earlier than that…so I wonder if it’s something in my DNA that makes me want to understand what is going on?  All I know is that this is an interesting time and I am being sucked back into the news that I have been avoiding since idiot boy got elected….and I’m not sure how I feel about that…we’ll see…

We all know what he’s hiding…

Well…just stopped laughing my butt off at the latest story of the idiot trump trying to hide his grades in school…the college stuff was bad enough when he had Michael Cohen send threatening letters to the schools saying they would be sued if they released them…but the latest one….man, what a frickin baby the idiot is…it came out today that the administration of idiot boy’s HIGH SCHOOL had been threatened by some of trump’s rich friends to not release his grades there or their donations to the private school would end and it would be bankrupted…and they even went so far as trying to get the actual transcripts from their records so there would be no copies left. Now, I wonder, wonder, wonder why the idiot wants to keep all of his transcripts secret…is it because he was just too smart and doesn’t want to be embarrassed by being called a genius? Nope…that’s not it…it’s because the narcissist in chief just can’t stand that he’s not the smartest one in the room…and to have actual records confirming that would be too big a blow to his well constructed fantasy world. Remember that one of idiot boy’s college professors called him the “dumbest damn student” he had ever had…but, we all know that by just watching the moron in chief every day….and hiding his records isn’t going to change that…impeach…

March 6th

Well…okay, this one breaks the pattern with not getting up until 6:17 and I wonder how I did that…I seem to have slept okay but feel a little slow today so I think I’ll just go with it and work into the day…it’s a fresh coffee day so I can have a little extra and that will help with getting going….it’s another cold one outside this morning and I am getting really, really tired of that…but there may be a break by Friday and the weather folks are saying that this could be the last gasp of winter…I hope it is since it is just depressing to have it be 11 degrees in March…I did have a water leak in the ceiling over my dryer yesterday and that disrupted my day since they had to cut out most of the ceiling and I had to move all of the stuff I had stored on the shelves there…ick…and they have to come back next week to replace the water lines and the ceiling so I have stuff spread out all over the place…so, I didn’t get anything done yesterday and today will be the same with Man U playing this afternoon and with me not feeling like doing anything….just want the coffee to start working so my brain function will start….or maybe it won’t, who knows? More later….

Bye, Bye Kushner…

Well…as always, when the dems get voted into office, they are the ones that have to clean up after the do nothing repubs…and, after two years of the repubs doing nothing but protecting trump and his criminals, a reckoning has started with the dem controlled congress doing it’s constitutional duty of oversight of the most criminal administration in the history of this country. Today, that oversight continued with Jared Kusher being criminally referred to the justice department by Ted Lieu for his lies and omissions on his SF-86 form that he filed to get his security clearance…the security clearance that was denied by the Intelligence community because of the many shady connections that Kushner has made around the world, and that was then ordered to be given to him by the idiot trump. Here’s the thing….the repubs are screaming that this constitutional duty that the house has taken up is some sort of a personal attack on trump and his minions…but, if there wasn’t any evidence of wrongdoing…piles and piles of evidence, there would be no investigations started….and the repubs had all of this evidence that Kushner lied on his SF-86, and that trump obstructed justice and has abused his power…with the latest revelation that he intervened in a merger deal between ATT and Time Warner just because he was mad about the negative coverage he had gotten from CNN. So, repubs, just shut the hell up…you didn’t do the job you swore an oath to…so we will do that job and root out the criminals who now infest our government….and all of you who subverted the government to protect trump, you day of reckoning is coming…buckle up…impeach…

March 5th

Well….I really don’t know how I’m running this morning but I do know that I was up at 3:17 to start the morning…but, I got all the way to 5:27 before I got out of bed…I was so worn out last night that I feel asleep on the couch 3 times before I gave up and just went to bed…and I know that is from not sleeping too well so I wonder how last night’s sleep is going to effect that? Oh, well…at least I got out of here for a while to shoot pool yesterday and we tied so that was kind of appropriate after not going for a month…woke up this morning to more depressing snow on the car but I am not going out to clean it off until I have lots of coffee and read the news….trying hard to not be depressed about March starting out so cold and crappy but I am hoping that the old adage is true this year and it will go out like a lamb…it is supposed to be 44 on Saturday so that will be a welcome change…didn’t get anything done yesterday and I don’t feel a lot of motivation right now so I may not get anything done today, either…who knows? More later…

Jerry Nadler gets it started…

Well…you know that people are starting to sweat on the right when the chair of the Judiciary committee, Jerry Nadler, issued document requests to 60 people to try to get to the bottom of the idiot trump’s obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and other crimes and the response from Jim Jordan, one of trumps most ardent supporters, slid right into anti-Semitism and personal attacks on Nadler. Let’s not forget who Jim Jordan is to put his complaints about investigations into context…when athletes were being abused at Ohio State, where Jordan was a coach at the time, Jordan was told about it and did nothing…trying to protect the abusers. This all tracks back to the lawlessness that the repub party has embraced over the past 20 years or so…that they are supposed to be immune to being held accountable wherever and whenever their lawbreaking has occurred….that same playbook is being run by the repubs right now when they try to say that trump’s crimes before being elected should be off limits since they happened “so long” ago. With the dem control of congress, those days are over and we are going to rebuild the rule of law that applies to everyone….and that includes Jim Jordan and the idiot trump….impeach….

March 4th

Well…not going to bitch today about not sleeping…it’s getting boring to me and probably to you, too…okay, just a little bitch…back to getting up at 3:30 and then up for good by 5:14…again…ick…don’t feel too crappy today even with the cold coming on and taking the day off the bike was s good idea since my legs hurt much less this morning…but, I’ll be back on it here in a  little while for more torture since I need to burn the calories I piled on with a total veg day yesterday just watching sports all day….I did get some cleaning done but that was it…and, we are having a pool day today so I won’t do anything but that today….I will have to warm up the car with it being only 8 degrees right now and the high only getting to 11 or so today…that’s 30 degrees below normal and the cold is going to stay for at least the next two weeks so no break until April it appears…and that is depressing…but, there’s nothing I can do about it so I’ll just live with it I guess…more later….

Cool stuff….

Well…with all of the criminality and idiocy coming out of the right these days, it is nice to think about something else for a change since there is some cool stuff happening. Just Saturday morning, SpaceX launched it’s first Crew Dragon on a test flight to the ISS as part of the certification process that will lead to a manned flight later in the year…and just this morning, the flight was completed with the spacecraft automatically docking with the ISS after a series of maneuvers testing the craft and it’s ability to pace the station and match it’s orbit. I didn’t stay up to watch this launch and landing since it didn’t launch until almost 3 am…but I was able to watch it Sat morning with the videos being uploaded to Youtube from SpaceX…and that just made a thought come into my head….we really don’t have many shared experiences in this world anymore…at least as related to tv, as we did when I was a kid. When the first moon landing happened in July of 1969, everyone in this country and across the world were watching it and could then discuss it the next day….and that made these events even more exciting knowing you were part of a huge community that was participating in something special…not like today where there are other things to do and watch. Now, I’m not going to go on that the “olden” days were better than today…different, yes, but they both have things that made them special…and, I’m glad I’ve lived through them both….
