Well…just laughed pretty hard after reading a new article about the latest prototype of the idiot trump’s “steel” wall that has replaced the “big, beautiful” concrete one in his fevered brain….okay, I’m still laughing…you know I really like Harbor Freight and the cheap tools that they sell…and we all know that most of them are throwaways at that price point…but they do work for a little while and that thought came to me when I read that the testers were able to cut a hole in the new steel “wall” prototype in minutes using a cordless angle grinder with a cutoff wheel installed…now, I looked at one of those in the latest catalog from HF that I get sent to me and they are under 10 bucks and the cutoff wheel is only about a buck and a half, so the new, millions of dollars a mile “wall” can be defeated at any point in it’s length by an $11.50 purchase from Harbor Freight….how stupid are trump and his cronies? Okay, didn’t need to ask that…they show it every day…maybe I should buy stock in HF? Impeach….
January 10th
Well…running early for a Thursday since I decided to do this before the grocery run due to boredom while I wait to warm the car up in a half hour…slept okay last night and was able to roll onto my right arm for a while with just a little pain but I am feeling that right now…the pain is not as bad today but it is still there and I think most of it is from cleaning the bathroom yesterday…but, I got the bathroom cleaned! That was the first time in almost three weeks that I was able to clean anything other than a little spot work for too long and this place sure needs work…and I may get to vacuuming today since the carpet needs some work just like everything else…didn’t get a bike ride in yesterday and probably won’t for a few days with the cold weather and snow that won’t be melting anytime soon…and that is going to make me grumpy with not being able to work out either…oh, well….I may be able to get out to have a couple this aft with K and C if it works out and it will be fun to get out of here for a while and hang out with people for a change….have driven so little that I haven’t put gas in the car since before christmas and still have more than half a tank left…more later….
The real reason for trump on tv…
Well….now we know the real reason for the grifter in chief to go on tv last night with another one of his racist screeds…money…nothing but money…and not for the wall but to fill the coffers of his campaign. Just before he went on, his campaign blasted out an e-mail to his followers telling them they will get on trump’s “nice” list if they send money to a “wall” fund that will allow trump and his cronies to continue to “fight” for the wall…and right after they sent out another e-mail saying there was still time to get on the list and contribute to the “wall” fund if they do it right now. We all know that if the idiot is speaking he is lying…and in the fine print it is revealed that the money is not going to any “wall” fund, but straight into idiot boy’s re-election fund…so now he’s even lying to his base so he can scam more money out of them with the one issue he still has left that mobilizes them…the stupid wall that will never be built. I wonder how he will spin it when the repubs abandon him and pass government funding without the wall? should be fun to watch…impeach…
January 9th
Well…running a little early today with going to bed a little early from pure boredom and from being good last night so I don’t have to ease into the day today….I think I have a bug of some sort since I have been coughing and my stomach has been queasy for the past day…I wonder if it may be from the ibuprofen I’ve had to take for my shoulder? It appears that my shoulder has turned the corner and I was able to sleep on it for a while last night with just a little pain and it really doesn’t hurt much at all right now…okay, my stomach is bad enough that I just took a zantac for it…and I haven’t needed any of that in over a year….didn’t get much done yesterday but cook a little chicken and I may have been under on calories again…but, who cares? I did get a nice bike ride in but I won’t be riding today with the snow last night covering the ice from the rain earlier in the evening last night….I’m sure the car will need to be melted to get the doors open later this morning but that will be a project for a little later since I am on the first cup of coffee and I need a couple more….I am going to attempt using the weight machine again today with the lessening pain in my shoulder…can’t wait to see how that goes….more later….
Ruh, roh…
Well…I wonder if the idiot trump is going to continue screeching “no collusion” after the revelations from today? This afternoon, Paul Manafort’s lawyers filed some paperwork in response to Mueller asserting that Manafort continued to lie to him after he agreed to cooperate fully with his investigation…only one little problem with that paperwork…there was one part that I’m sure they didn’t want to expose…and that was that Manafort went to Madrid to meet with a Russian agent to give him internal polling data from the trump campaign…hmmmm…seems to me that this is the definition of collusion with a foreign power to sway the election since this information WAS used for targeting purposes by the Russian troll farms that were all over social media spreading propaganda that helped trump win. I can’t wait for this question to be asked to trump and his cronies…I’ll bet the answer will be that they don’t know Manafort and even though he was the campaign chair, he didn’t really have anything to do with the campaign….impeach this son of a bitch already…geez…
Lying liars…
Well…everyone knows that the idiot trump is the biggest liar in the history of the world, and now the media is helping him lie some more by broadcasting an 8 minute screed tonight on the “crisis” at the Mexican border….one that only he and his idiot followers believe. Let’s look at the truth…using the government’s own statistics, it is clear that there has been a net outflow of undocumented people back to Mexico for over three years now, so what’s the “crisis”? What does idiot boy want to accomplish by lying to try to get his wall? To keep the rest of the undocumented people from Mexico from going home? I have had enough of the stupident trying to spend my taxes on a vanity project that only his rabid base of racist morons wants and that can never be built…do you think the people of Texas will stand still when he starts to use eminent domain to take their land for the stupid wall? Not going to happen and the news media needs to start calling him out on it…and on his litany of lies…tonight is as good a time as any…get on it media…impeach…
January 8th
Well…rolled over onto my right shoulder in bed last night and all I have to say is ow, ow, ow, ow, …ow, ow, ow…that was a huge mistake and my shoulder is howling in pain right now and it even woke me up and kept me up from about 3 or so…so, I feel like crap right now and will probably need to take something for it…at least Clemson beat Alabama last night and I was smiling how they dismantled them…but, all the god crap in the post game interviews showed me that there is a lot of delusion that is still rampant in this country and that we still have a long way to go to get to the enlightened state of rationality here….oh, I did lose at pool yesterday but it was fun to get out and do something for a change…and my new wiper blades worked like a champ without any noise so that was cool….didn’t get on the bike yesterday with the rain and wind but I am going to try to get out today before the rain starts since it is still over 40 but it looks like it is going to get cold and snow tonight so it will be a few days of hunkering down here…more later….
That was a mistake…
Well…after waiting for two weeks to get back on the weight machine after the crash, I did try it this morning and it was a mistake…only got about 5 reps in and the pain came howling back…had to even take some ibuprofen for it and I’m now waiting for the pain to subside again…it is getting better so I’ll be able to shoot pool today but damn, I need to be able to work out again with not being able to get on the bike today or tomorrow…was going to try it in the dry slot that is here right now but the wind is blowing 25 with gusts to 40 and I am not going out in those conditions….I did get out and get some winter wipers today but they are the beam type that I’m not sure I like…the ones I had on the car froze up and chattered all the time when it was cold and icy so I guess these can’t be any worse…we’ll see in the rain today….more later…yeah, I’ll try to get to politics before pool but I can’t promise anything right now…have to have lunch and get the dishes running first….
January 7th
Well…just can’t get started today and my shoulder is hurting again so that is disappointing…and I didn’t sleep for crap and that makes me a little grumpy to start the day…part of that might be that I know I won’t be getting on the bike today with all the rain we are going to get…raining right now and as far out to the west as the radar can see so I may plan to run some errands this morning instead…I am going to try to get back to the weight machine but with the pain I’m having, I’m not sure if that’s a good idea….I did get some cooking done with a new batch of turkey soup in the instant pot and it came out good but needed more carrots…I’ll have to adjust that the next time…didn’t get anything else done other than a little cleaning and I’m not sure if I’ll get to anything today…might have pool this afternoon and it will be good to get out to do something after a couple of weeks of just hanging out here….but, I need coffee now and to read some news….just feel exhausted right now and need to not think…more later…
Perjury, perjury, perjury…
Well…just read with a little glee in my head that Adam Schiff, the new chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has offered to work with Robert Mueller to determine if anyone who testified to the committee while it was under repub control committed perjury and if they were protected by the repub majority while doing it. Can you say jail time Don jr.? Schiff has said that he will provide the transcripts of all of the testimony before the committee to Mueller as soon as possible…something that the repubs conspired with trump and his cronies to prevent and that is going to put Kushner in jeopardy, too, since it is already clear that almost everyone who testified lied…including Jeff Sessions. So, the immunity that these asses felt is now gone, and Schiff is going to make it clear to everyone that lying to congress is a crime that will be prosecuted…after all, that is one of the counts that Michael Cohen is going to jail for…perp walk, perp walk, perp walk….
