Well….with the news from this afternoon that Michael Cohen is going to plead guilty to multiple counts, and that is happening right now, the one that interests me is the campaign finance charge that he is pleading to….I’m pretty sure that is connected to all of the women that trump paid off in 2016…so, if Cohen is pleading guilty to carrying out the violations, I would guess that the person that ordered the payments would be guilty, too….and I wonder who that would be? Yeah, you know it’s the idiot trump….there is going to be an epic meltdown later today when idiot boy holds a “rally” in coal country where the idiot is celebrating new rules for coal plants that will allow them to spew 20 times more pollution into the air than they could under Obama’s rules and it will lead to almost 2,000 more Americans dying every year from it…but, I guess murdering 2,000 Americans is okay to trump and his cronies so they can give more profit to the 1%…after all, we are all expendable to them….impeach…
Waiting, waiting…
Well…another day, another fiasco of trying to find a doctor and I am getting more and more disappointed with the entire process…but, that’s not what this is about…the waiting is for the Manafort verdict that may be released this aft if the jury can work through the one count of 18 that they can’t agree on…so, is it good news that they have agreed on 17 counts or is it more ominous? With what I saw from the trial, there is no way they can acquit on the tax evasion or bank fraud charges but who knows about the rest of them? We are also waiting for more details in the Michael Cohen case where it has been reported that Cohen is working on a plea deal and will then testify against the idiot trump….after all, Cohen was in on every shady deal and all of the money laundering that trump was involved in over the past ten years….man, I’ll admit I’m a little excited for news this afternoon since trump was involved in exactly the same crime methods as Manafort…and let’s not forget that trump was broke and couldn’t get a loan in the US and the Russians rescued him from another probably bankruptcy….my big bitch is that trump has been doing this crap for his entire career and no one in the justice department did a damn thing to hold him responsible for his crimes until now…hammer time is coming…impeach…
August 21st
Well…running a little early today with getting up at 5:30….and that means I am pretty darn tired today and the tossing and turning all night didn’t help either…the allergies really kicked in yesterday and I was and still am miserable and that may have screwed up my sleep, too…had an okay day yesterday but no pool and that wasn’t a bad thing….had no energy yesterday and I’m not sure why that was but I can guess the usual suspect…but I don’t want to talk about that right now…I did get out to change my car insurance and saved a bunch of money but it took a lot of cash to pay for the whole year…but I won’t have to think about it again until next year so that is cool…I do need to get out in the next two days to find a doctor and get the health checks set up and then find a house to buy…still waiting for my life insurance to come to use for the down payment but that should happen this week….not much to do today…I do need to clean some after I get the doctor thing done but that is about it….more later…
Are all repubs morons?
Well…you know, every time I hear a repub talk one question pops into my head: “are all repubs morons?” Just over the weekend, the majority leader of the house, Kevin McCarthy, went off on a rant that twitter is censoring conservatives and he was going to haul the ceo in to testify before the house and explain why…only one little problem with that….the moron doesn’t understand how to use the settings on twitter and had them set to the under 18 setting which filters most political speech out since it can get pretty nasty. Even when it was explained to him by tens of thousands of twitter users, ole Kevin didn’t respond or change the filters…but just kept on with what I guess is this weeks talking point that the mean liberal social media sites are “censoring” conservatives and is still saying he wants to have the ceo’s of all of the social media companies come in and explain themselves…maybe one of those people will be able to explain to the idiot Kevin how to use the sites…he’s obviously not too bright so that may be a stretch….
August 20th
Well…forgot to make the coffee last night and it’s a pain having to do it in the morning…but I need it so I guess it’s not too much work…slept okay last night but still feel a little slow today so I am going to ease into it and let the coffee work for a while…I did get a good bike ride in yesterday and need to get out soon to beat the rain…it looks like we are finally going to get some storms tonight and I’m looking forward to that…this summer has been a bust..can’t remember the last time we’ve had a storm around here…didn’t get a lot done around here yesterday and probably won’t today…I do have to go out and get my new insurance paid for and get it started this morning and then pool this aft so I won’t have time to do much else…I did get out to have a couple with K yesterday and it was nice to get out for a while…and then talked to C by text last night so I guess I covered everyone….more later….
It’s “Sharknado” day….
Well…I almost forgot that today is the day that the final “Sharknado” movie is on…and I will be glued to the tv with a cocktail at 8 tonight…yeah, I know…this whole series is probably the most ridiculous set of movies that I have ever seen and this one is the 6th and last of the series…I’m not sure what has attracted me to these movies that are so bad they are….no, they are not good but I do get a few laughs from them and all of the cameos they contain….and this one is supposed to have time traveling sharks in it so the premise is even more absurd than the past ones…I may have to go back to watch the last one before the new one just to remember what happened in the last one…or not, since they will spend the first part of the new one explaining it….whatever it is…it is a guilty pleasure that I look forward to….
Trump doesn’t understand anything…
Well…over the past 18 months, we’ve all seen that the idiot trump really doesn’t understand how anything works…and this was on display, again for the umpteeth time, when he found out that the WH lawyer, Don McGahn, has been talking to Mueller for over 30 hours during the past few months…and talking about all of the meetings he has been in with trump when trump was plotting all of his obstruction. The thing is that trump really thinks that McGahn is one of his lawyers…he just doesn’t understand that McGahn’s job is to represent the office of the presidency…not the idiot president. So, everything that idiot boy has done or said over the past 18 months is in Mueller’s hands and now we can understand the trump twitter meltdown over the weekend…and idiot boy tried to say that he “approved” McGahn’s talking to Mueller…as if he had anything to say about it. One little thing you need to remember is that McGahn has stated that he talked to Mueller to make sure he wouldn’t be the scapegoat and get blamed for trump’s criminality….I wonder how long trump is going to let McGahn stay in the WH after this? If I was McGahn, I’d be turning in my credentials today and running as fast as I could away from that dumpster fire…impeach…
August 19th
Well…trying to get moving this morning so I can get out on the bike before the fog is gone…it is too cool to ride when you can see the clouds moving in front of you….slept okay last night and don’t feel too badly this morning and that is even with only one cup of coffee so far…but, I do need to have at least one more before I go…it did rain some last night and it was about time…it has been so dry around here that the poplars are turning yellow already and that is not supposed to start for another month or so….okay, need more coffee….I’m back and I am wondering when we will get a break from the humidity…everything feels damp and I’m already sweating just sitting here doing this….didn’t get a lot done yesterday and today looks the same with soccer on and the indy car race on later…so there will be some napping today…I hope….more later….
Trail stuff….
Well….politics with trump involved has gotten so tiresome that I am not going to write about it today….instead, I want to talk a little bit about trail stuff…haven’t written much about that lately since there really hasn’t been much going on that would be interesting…but today, there was a sad thing that I wanted to relate…heading up to the last water stop at the park this morning, I looked a little farther south along Eastern before I turned up the trail to the park and saw lump of something lying in the road…but it was almost 100 yards away so I just caught a little bit of the color…there are very few animals in the wild that are red and that meant it was probably a red fox that had been hit by a car…after I finished the ride, I had some errands to run and needed some tomatoes, and that led me right past where I had seen the red animal earlier…and it was a red fox that had been killed by a car….now, I know there are many more foxes in the wild around here than there ever were since I moved out here in 1980….and I have seen a half dozen of them in the past few years, but it is still a shock to see one lying in the road dead…just a little sadness temper an otherwise okay day….
August 18th
Well…running about on time today…or a little bit late now that I looked at the time…slept okay last night but feel a little slow this morning with just pouring the first cup of coffee and only having one sip so far…it is nice having soccer to wake up to but I don’t know any of the newly promoted teams so that will take some time to get up to speed on them…still think I am not eating enough with just two bowls of chili and half a chicken breast yesterday but we’ll see when I get out on the bike in a few….thought the same thing yesterday but the bike ride was okay and my legs had energy throughout the ride…but there normally is a lag between not eating and the legs being flat so today may be telling….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I do need to vacuum and clean the kitchen a little today…I may need to cook, too, but I do have leftovers that I can use if I don’t feel like it….more later…
