Well…I’m not sure that the maga folks know that the arguments that raiding trump’s golf club was “the first time ever that a president’s home had been raided” with breathless repetition are such good ones when you sit back and think about it for a minute…let’s turn that around a bit using the same “it’s the first time ever” as a descriptor of the idiot boy’s criminality….ooo, let’s start with taxes…it’s the first time ever that a presidential candidate lied about this tax returns being under “audit” and kept them secret from the public…here’s another one…it’s the first time ever that a president was under criminal investigation in more than one jurisdiction in the history of the country…see how this works? It’s the first time ever that a president was impeached twice in his first term…it’s the first time ever that a president conspired with a foreign power to throw the election to him…it’s the first time ever that a president led an insurrection against the constitution he has sworn to protect…it’s the first time ever that a president ignored a pandemic that killed and extra half million Americans from his inaction….I guess I could keep this up all day…oh, and let’s not forget why the FBI raided his house yesterday…idiot boy walked off with 15 boxes of highly classified papers and would not return them in direct violation of at least three felony statutes….and I’ll bet they will find he was trying to sell some of them to enemies of the US, he is just that amoral and venal…hey, maga assholes…want to play this “first time ever” game some more…no, I didn’t think so…cretins…

Isn’t threatening the AG obstruction?
Well…we all know that the repubs are not too bright but Kevin McCarthy went over the top when he actually threatened Merrick Garland by name that he will be investigated for the raid on trump if the repubs take back the house in the fall…to me, this looks like trying to derail an active investigation into the criminal trump and that is obstruction of justice…it’s not free speech that is protected by the 1st amendment that they go on and on about…imagine if a mob boss made this same threat against the Ag of the US in an active criminal investigation…he would be sitting in a jail cell right now after being charged…and don’t give me the bullshit that this is a political investigation…there had to be probable cause for the warrant to be issued that a reasonable person would look at the evidence and conclude that a crime had been committed….and Merrick Garland had to sign off on that warrant and the evidence presented along with a judge and the FBI director…all trump appointees by the way….all of this is just projection on the repubs part since they know that the Benghazi hearings and investigations were purely political and found no wrongdoing by Hillary…but that didn’t stop them from doing at least 8 investigations…and McCarthy was on record saying they were specifically to hurt Hillary’s election chances…let’s remember one other important part of the law that idiot boy has broken…if convicted, trump is barred from ever holding office again…something that needs to happen to protect this country…geez…
August 9th
Well…damn, my coffee maker just freaked out and made steam instead of water pushed into the basket for the coffee to drip…but I just turned it off and back on and it appears to be working normally again…might just have to start looking for a new one…I’ve had the Mr. Coffee for 8 years now and that is 8 times longer than any other one has lasted…but, we’ll see…it sounds right…okay, let’s go see…okay, have my coffee and all is right with the world….must have had an air lock…wonder if I should run some vinegar through it? Hmmmm…had an okay day yesterday and got a few things done but probably won’t today…I did want to get out to the beach for a swim today since I haven’t been out there since last Friday and I’m running out of summer…and my tan is fading and it needs a jumpstart so no sunscreen today….I was good last night so I feel okay this morning…lots of energy even with about 4 hours of sleep and I hope the deficit will result in getting a good night tomorrow night to make up for it….it is a little cool out there this morning but that will be a welcome change after the heat and humidity of the last week where I was sweating just sitting here…not much to do today…I really should clean some and probably will and need to launder the bedding and the couch blankets to take advantage of the cool weather….but right now I need more coffee before I get on the bike here in a few minutes…..more later….
Ha, ha, ha…the feds just raided Mar a Lago…
Well…I wonder how much evidence the feds have of the idiot trump’s crimes to be able to get a judge to sign off on a warrant to raid his tacky golf club in Florida? That just happened a little while ago…a no knock raid by the FBI who broke into idiot boy’s safe and everything…okay, I can’t stop laughing…and idiot boy is out there on his twitter clone whining his ass off that he is being persecuted and the Russia investigation and the two impeachments were all a hoax and he is the most persecuted person in the history of the country…blah, blah, blah….the feds must be getting close and I am curious which of his hundreds of crimes this is about? That should come out in a couple of days and I am going to smile all that time as I wait…ha,ha,ha…..about time…
It’s been a day…
Well…after having to wait til around 10 this morning to get out for the first ride with the rain that we got…yep, we actually got rain here last night and today…and the wind was blowing almost 25 out of the west and I looked like a damn mime trying to ride into it out on the point..all the way down to 3rd on the back sprockets which I normally only use on the steep climbs, and that went on all the way out to the beach and the waves it was making were huge but there is no way I’d ever get in the water like that out here….but the way back on both rides was fun and I got into 24th gear (high) at the top of the hill by the country club and ran that all the way back to the bottom of the hill by Heritage Landing….almost 4 miles wide open and when I got back here I was soaked with sweat and then proceeded to mow the lawn and do some other outside work that needed to be done…about 5 hours of work including the bike rides and I am dehydrated again with my toe starting to scream at me with a bit of the gout again…but, the weather has changed and the humidity that made the air thick enough to cut with a knife has dissipated…don’t even need the fan on and it is getting down into the 50′s tonight so I’ll close this joint up except for my bedroom window….it was nice to get some things done this afternoon and I even picked some tomatoes…both cherry and big ones and had one for a snack this afternoon…still aren’t going to get a lot off the plants this year so that is a little disappointing…there are still lots of cherries on the plants so I guess I’ll have lots of those….I wonder if I should cut up some of those and add them to mac salad I made this afternoon? Need to see a recipe to see if they will work before I do….end time….no more later…
Now what are they going to run on?
Well…the plan for the repubs for this fall’s election was to hammer the dems on inflation and gas prices…blaming Biden for all of it when inflation is world wide and high gas prices are a result of price gouging by the oil companies. But, guess what? With reports out this morning, the expectations for inflation to moderate back to pre pandemic values by early next year and gas prices have been falling for 60 days in a row now and are under 4 bucks a gallon out here…so now what are the repubs going to run on? Making sure diabetics have to pay thousands for insulin instead of the 35 dollars a month cap that the dems wanted? Or gutting Medicare and Social Security like ole Ron Johnson the senator from Wisconsin has just publicly stated and that is the holy grail of shredding the social safety net that the repubs want….I guess they can run on being against everything that the dems want but most of it is pretty popular so that probably won’t work….more guns on the street? 80% of the country doesn’t want that…outlawing abortion in the states? 70% of the US doesn’t want that so that won’t work…look, they have nothing but hatred to run on in this election and I think the US is getting tired of that bullshit…so maybe this could be a good election for us especially after getting the inflation act passed…once people know what is in it, they will love it…and not one repub voted for it…but that hasn’t stopped them from lying and taking credit for it and the good things it will do….it’s what they do every time…geez….
It’s 8:30 and I’m still sitting here…
Well…it’s almost 8:30 and I’m still sitting here waiting out the rain….it looks like it is going to be raining for an hour or so and that is going to put me so late for getting things done today that I’m vibrating while I wait to get started…I can’t remember the last time I’ve had to wait in the morning…was supposed to yesterday but the rain never came so I was able to get out on the bike twice before 10…but that is not going to happen today…and I need to stop whining about it…you would think that at my advanced age I would know how to relax and just take the day as it comes but I can’t…will only riding once kill me? It may…who knows? I do know that I don’t like just sitting here….more later….
August 8th
Well…hmmm…another 5:38 morning today and I wonder if that will ever change? It’s raining out there…yay! So I have an hour or so to just sit here and that’s harder than it looks….one of these days I’m going to take a day off the bike but I don’t think it will be today….need to burn those calories and keep losing weight so I can get to the goal of 170 in the next couple of months….had a wasted day yesterday where I only did the rides and nothing else and that is a little disappointing for me…I have work to do but just didn’t want to do it….but I will get the lawn mowed today after the rain and bike rides and may even clean some around here…I sure hope the damn humidity goes down some after the rain comes through…have been sweating for the past 5 days and I am getting tired of it…and I’ve had to run the fan in here all day just to make it tolerable and that gets tiring, too….not sure if I’ll get out to the beach today since I can’t get motivated for anything right now but we’ll see…..not much to do today…I really wish I could just relax for a day and have coffee and sit on the porch for a bit but that is not going to happen…I think I will read some news out there in a minute and just listen to the rain…but not for the whole day…too much to do and not enough time to do it…..more later….
The repubs just voted to let Americans die…
Well…just when you think that the repubs can’t be any worse people, they dig deeper and become even bigger assholes. Just last night, as the voting goes on about the huge inflation control bill, an amendment was put forward by the dems that would cap the cost of insulin at 35 bucks a month for anyone with private insurance…and guess how many repubs voted against it and for killing Americans who can’t afford the thousand bucks a month that insulin can cost? Yep…47 of them…47 repub senators think that it is just peachy that insulin that costs 5 bucks to make can cost so much that diabetics have to choose between eating and their life saving medicine…and at those costs, many, many diabetics report having to take less than prescribed since it just costs so damn much…but the repubs don’t care and the only reason they voted against it is that the won’t give Biden a “win” by helping people stay alive…they are perfectly okay with people dying just to spite the dems…what a bunch of assholes…that’s the only word for it…vote dem this fall and let’s get some good stuff done for the country…and cap the cost of insulin if we can keep congress…vote…
August 7th
Well…damn, have a decision to make right now….do I go out on the bike and try to get a ride in before the rain or do I take the day off? I think it’s going to be over an hour before it gets here and then I could have a ride in before ManU plays at 9 but I really don’t want to hurry right now…hmmmm….had an okay day yesterday but didn’t do much but the bike rides…I did pick my first big tomato and ate it with some chips last night and it was pretty good…but, I am so disappointed with the garden this year that I am contemplating just pulling everything up and starting over next year….not many tomatoes and they are all pretty small so I think I need to condition the soil more before I plant again….didn’t sleep for crap last night and I’m feeling it today but that seems to be the pattern that has extended for weeks now and I’m not sure what to do about it….damn, I wish it would rain right now so I don’t have to decide whether to ride or not….not much to do today….ride or not? Yeah, you know the answer to that….going to get moving and get on the bike right now so I’ll be back here to see ManU…but the rest of the day is going to be total veg…I hope, I could use the rest….more later…
