Well…I think this one has kind of flown under the radar of the trump scandal tornado but it could really be an important day in getting the information that will prove just how big of a criminal trump is. Tomorrow, the accounting firm who does accounting for all of trump’s businesses will receive a subpoena from chairman Neal of the Ways and Means committee to produce all of the financial records of all of those businesses, along with all communications with trump and his criminal organization (including his children) and all underlying information that trump provided to the firm…and there is not a damn thing that trump can do to stop it…the firm even requested the subpoena in response to the letter sent by Neal just to protect themselves from liability….they can’t be sued by trump for following a legal order to turn over the information, and the adults in charge there are surely not going to die on this hill for trump since they know that he is a criminal who has tried to use this firm to break the law in the past by lying to them on financial statements he provided. So, it may be a pretty interesting meltdown day from trump tomorrow…or tonight as it always is when he is being exposed as the criminal that he is. Impeach….

The GOP is now a party of lawbreakers…
Well…hey, GOP…where the hell did your party of “law and order” go? You have been the ones harping for the past 40 years that the dems are “weak” on crime and I guess that meant that we don’t break the law enough? Over the past week, we have seen almost every damn officer in the trump administration either break the law or incite others to do it…if it isn’t Barr obstructing justice by “editing” the Mueller report, to Mnuchin directly breaking the clear law by not releasing idiot boy’s tax returns to congress, to trump blatantly ordering his CBP officers to break the law at the border and dangling a pardon to get them to do it, all of the repubs are nothing but criminals now who only mouthed their allegiance to the constitution all the while doing the bidding of the criminal in chief who squats in the WH. Now dems, it is time to use all of the power of government to bring these criminals to justice starting with Mnuchin who you can hold in contempt of Congress and actually have him arrested and held until he complies with the law…and then Nadler, you need to subpoena the Mueller report and file suit against Barr and trump to get a judge to order the complete report released to congress as is their right as part of their constitutional responsibilities of oversight of the executive branch…and then, Nadler, start the damn impeachment of this asshole…there are so many things he has done that meet the standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors” that this needs to be done…now…get after it…impeach…
April 14th
Well…running a little late today with not crawling out of bed until 6:30 and had some weird, weird dreams that had boats, meat and losing my ear buds in it…yep, as I said weird….slept pretty crappy, as normal, but don’t feel that bad today…still sore everywhere but feel okay…I may need to take something for it since I am getting the yearly tendonitis that has settled in both shoulders and both Achilles tendons and need to get the swelling down…at least I’ll get the chance to rest everything today since I won’t be getting on the bike with 3-6 inches of snow predicted for the day…so, I’m settled in here on the couch and am trying to figure out my day…don’t think I’ll be doing much but getting the turkey in the brine so I can cook it tomorrow and watching some soccer and races later…I missed the F1 race since it was on at 4 am and I was not getting up that early…so I guess I’ll have to check later to see if there is a repeat….more later….
Trail stuff….
Well…haven’t done one of these in a while and I’m really not motivated to do anything in politics right now…there is one topic but not right now…just noticed on the bike this morning that I have gone over 800 miles for the year and we are not even halfway through April so maybe my goal of 1,000 miles before the first of May is doable? I thing the whole thing is going to depend on the weather and looking out the next two weeks, it doesn’t look good with rain nearly every day…but, I’ll try…one last thing, yesterday when I was riding the diagonal trail up through Kentwood by 60th street, I saw the biggest flock of turkeys I have ever seen…or rasher of turkeys, you can call it either…there were at least 23 turkeys that just strolled across the trail as I was riding up it and only the last two males seemed to be in any way concerned that I was there…I never remember seeing even one turkey when I was a kid and I was out in the woods all day, every day….so, that was pretty cool to see…now if the damn weather would warm up and the wind would quiet down, riding may be fun again…my legs are really sore form bucking the wind today…think I’ll probably have to take something for them…
April 13th
Well…it didn’t work this morning….tried to go back to sleep after getting up before 5 but it was all tossing and turning and shoulder pain so I just gave up…and now I have a sinus headache that I am going to have to take something for pretty soon…I finally get to have some different food today with getting through all the leftovers I’ve had for a week…got really tired of bean and chicken burritos and am looking forward to some chicken thighs for lunch and then some turkey soup that I thawed for later…I do have that huge turkey that is thawing in the fridge that will need to go in the brine Monday and then will do the whole turkey dinner thing on Tuesday and I am looking for ward to that…hope I have enough room in the freezer for the carcass after I break it down…so I can make more turkey soup in the near future….I did get out on the bike in the wind yesterday and it was pretty brutal and left me sore this morning…but it is too darn cold to get out today until the afternoon and I’ll have to go back into light thermasuit again…or should I say still? I can’t wait for the weather to break and get a little of that spring smell….not much to do today…just a little light cleaning and soccer…and probably lots of vegging…more later…
Told you so…
Well…if you’ve been coming here for a while, you probably read a post that I did when the repub tax scam was passed where I predicted that the giveaway to the rich and corporations would raise taxes on the middle class to pay for it…and you heard McConnell and the rest of the repubs howl whenever anyone called them out on it…so, today…a new study just came out that said…guess what? That the majority of Americans saw their taxes go up after the passage of the law…and with the withholding shenanigans that the repubs did to snow people into thinking they were getting a tax cut, most returns are down this year and over 20% of the people filing actually owe more money to the IRS. Let’s get this straight, just like was done here in Michigan when they started taxing pensions, and then gave tax cuts to corporations and the rich to “create jobs”…it is the same thing as me writing a check to a CEO for a thousand bucks…the people who owe money this year are writing a check to a corporation or one of the 1% so they can buy another summer home or their 43rd car….and the repubs continue to lie about that scam every day…and the people who voted for them are still so damn dumb they still support them even after writing the checks….oh, and one last thing…after the tax scam, over 65 of the largest corporations in America didn’t pay a damn dime in taxes….that is what the repub party is all about…a reverse Robin Hood…robbing the poor to give to the rich….
April 12th
Well…running a little late for me this morning and it’s just from going back to bed for an hour after getting up a little after 5…I decided to start trying that instead of just getting up at all hours of the morning and I am surprised that it has been working some….almost got back to sleep before I gave up…I did get some things done around here yesterday and that felt good…my bathroom is finally cleaned and I got some bike stains out of the carpet that have been annoying me for a while…but, I skipped the bike ride yesterday with the wind blowing over 20 for most of the day and it is raining like crazy right now so it looks like I won’t be going out until this afternoon…I do have an errand to run this morning before I get to the workout…GOT starts it’s final season Sunday night and I am going to treat myself to some cheese and crackers…but, I forgot the crackers when I did the grocery run earlier and I need my Mega tickets for tonight…so, out in the rain in a bit…at least it’s not snow….more later…
Space X sticks the landing…
Well…just a shorty on the Falcon Heavy launch I just watched…another great launch and, for the first time, all three boosters landed successfully! I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of seeing rocket launches…ever since I was a little kid at the start of the space program, I have always been mesmerized by how we humans can have built these machines…and now a private company is leading the way…okay, with help from the government but still…it was never in anyone’s plans to land and re-use boosters until Space X came along…nice job…one last thing…what’s the deal, space X? My ad blocker has blocked over 350 ads in the 20 minutes I have had the live stream running…that sucks…shame on you…
Number 7,000…
Well…have reached another milestone here at my site when I noticed this morning that I have done 7,000 of these…7,000…by any measure that is one hell of a lot of posts and I wonder why I keep doing it…okay,, not really…part of it is habit but part of it is to preserve my sanity and give me an outlet for my semi lucid moments…and I am constantly gratified that quite a few people come here every day to read what I have to say…and I do feel an obligation to you to make the effort to stay relevant in these weird, weird times we live in….so, I’m going to keep it up for as long as I can and I hope you keep coming back…I may stumble onto something cool…and you won’t know unless you do….thanks….
trump’s sister…
Well…if you had any doubt that the entire trump family are crooks, the latest news should wipe that out right now…just yesterday it was announced that trump’s sister was resigning as a judge to end an investigation into…wait for it…fraudulent tax schemes that she participated in as part of the family’s tax fraud that ran all the way through the 80′s and 90′s….this is a continuation of the earlier story that the NY times ran that trump and his family manipulated their net worth to avoid paying taxes on inherited money from donnie boy’s father….and this is all under investigation by the state of NY and guess what would really help with getting to the bottom of this fraud? Yep, trump’s tax returns and it is just another reason why idiot boy is fighting so hard to keep them secret…they’re all damn crooks and need to go to jail….
