Well….here we go again….after Putin and his accomplices stole our election for the idiot trump, he is doing the same thing to try to install his puppet LePen in France. Does this sound familiar? Hackers broke into the servers of the leader, Macron, and now all of his e-mails are being posted online…just the same damn thing that was done to the dems here…but there is a little twist that just came up a few minutes ago….there were rumors that alt right sites like Breitbart were colluding with the Russians…not really rumors since there are active investigations going on to define the contacts between these sites and the Russians and the speculation is that they broke the law….and now, the first release of the Macron e-mails has been traced back to an American alt right site with ties to the Russians…so an American “patriot”, as they call themselves, is now colluding with the Russians again to try to install another racist hater, this time in France. Enjoy it while you can…jail time is coming for all of you…impeach….
May 6th
Well…running a little late this morning and there is no reason for it….no Man U today but there is soccer on and I just don’t want to get moving….I did win at pool yesterday and it was a nice ride out and back with the top down on the car….feel okay today with less pain than I have had but my back still hurts some….and my allergies have gone to defcon 1 and that is just killing me….I am irritated that is too cold to get out on the bike right now and it looks like I’ll have to wait until at least 10:30 to go…in the 30′s in May? What a bunch of crap….oh, well…that just means I can have more coffee before I go out….don’t have a lot to do today…I should clean some but I’m not sure about that….more later….
May 5th
Well….just can’t get started this morning and I feel pretty crappy…..didn’t get on the bike yesterday and that may be part of it…and I may not get on it today unless it warms up pretty quickly…it’s only 40 right now and I won’t go out unless it’s 50 or so….I do only have 300 miles to go until I get to 30K but it seems like it’s taking forever to get there…don’t hurt a lot this morning and that is a welcome change from the back pain I’ve had for quite a while now…..not sure what to cook today…have a pork loin…nope have leftover ribs that need to be used….okay…need to have some coffee and it just finished…more later…
On a lighter note….
Well….in honor of Star Wars day…May the fourth be with you!
Run, you cowards….
Well…with the atrocity of a health bill inching it’s way through the repub controlled house, questions are being asked of it’s repub supporters whether or not they have even read the bill…and guess what? The cowards are running away from the questions…literally…since they haven’t…they will vote for a bill that will kill thousands of Americans and throw 24 million off their insurance but they haven’t even read what’s in it? I know why…they just don’t care….as long as they can give a trillion dollar tax cut to their owners, nothing else really matters since they have insulated themselves from the carnage by making it not applicable to them…now that’s some courage right there…cowards….
What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?
Well….some years this day goes by with no recognition at all, but this year I think we need to remember what happens when the government turns on it’s citizens…especially in these days of trump. 47 years ago today, National guard troops opened fire on protesters on the campus of Kent State University…after 13 seconds, 4 young people lay dead on the ground for exercising their constitutional rights to assemble and protest….to this day, I still remember it coming over the news and Walter Cronkite reporting it…and as a 16 year old kid quickly coming up on draft age, I was still trying to understand the Vietnam war and why we were fighting there….I do remember the walkouts at my high school that followed Kent State and it did enter my mind that there may be danger there…I think Kent State was my turning point, where I went from the naivete of supporting the country no matter what to understanding that we as a country could be wrong…and those words from Neil Young’s song still bring a tear to my eye every time I hear them “…what if you knew her and found her dead on the ground…how can you run when you know?” Peace…..
All you need to know about trumpcare….
Well….with the vote coming up this morning on throwing 24 million people off their health insurance by passing trumpcare, there is only one thing you need to know about it and the repubs that are selling it as being better than Obamacare….the repubs have exempted themselves from the crappy insurance that will come from trumpcare…yep, the great, wonderful insurance that will come from trumpcare is only for you…the idiots that voted for trump and his cronies…but not for the sociopaths that are voting for this atrocity….and there is no CBO score or even a full reading of the bill…the repubs want a vote and the bill isn’t even finished yet….just an outline but that won’t stop the idiot repubs from voting for it…no, I won’t call them idiots anymore…I’ll call them the murderers they are since thousands of American citizens are going to lose their lives from this bill…and hundreds of thousands are going to lose everything they’ve worked their entire lives for by having to declare bankruptcy being swamped by medical bills that were covered under Obamacare….we need to make these murderers pay in 2018….impeach….
May 4th
Well….running just a little late today with doing the grocery run…it was nice to make a little cash this week so I could buy groceries….feel okay this morning and my back pain is almost gone but not quite all of it…just can’t get it to crack like it normally does and that makes the pain run down my left leg…but, the rest of it is better so I’m not going to bitch too much….I did get a bike ride in yesterday but I’m not sure about today yet…it’s only going to get to 50 or so today and that is just warm enough to not wear gloves….and it’s supposed to rain so maybe I’ll take the day off and just clean a little…I need to get this place cleaned up with my son coming in Monday….but I really don’t have that much to do….more later….
Clinton and trump treated the same?
Well….have been reading a little about Comey’s testimony in the senate today and most of the response from the idiot repubs come from the WH playbook…that the only problem is that people were leaking information to the press….not that Comey put his thumb on the election scale and cost Clinton the election. When asked about that by dem senators, Comey answered that he treated both trump and Clinton the same….okay, let talk about that a minute…where was the letter to the house about trump’s ties to Russia when Comey just couldn’t wait to let the house know that they had found duplicate e-mails on someone else’s computer? In his testimony today, Comey even admitted that he knew that his letter about Clinton would be leaked to the press by the repubs…but now he is “nauseous” that it happend and the he “may” have affected the election. This is bullshit…he knew damn well what he was doing would damage Clinton and he did it anyway….being a lifelong Clinton hater he even allowed the NY office of the FBI to work openly to help elect trump…and no amount of bullshit backfilling is going to change how much damage he has done to the US and the world…what a load of crap…..
May 3rd
Well….I finally got my new stove as I was out having a couple with T…and I made the last of the cash so that was cool…think I have enough for a month or so….still feel a little worn out today and I’m not really sure what it is….I did cook yesterday but I’m not sure if it was enough….I have a rack of ribs in the oven that have to be cooked low and slow for about 4 hours and that should make for a nice lunch…and I will have to wait to get out on the bike until after lunch since it is in the 30′s right now and I just can’t be cold anymore…one good thing is that I don’t hurt as much as I did and that is even without ibuprofen….my back is better and I hope that continues….more later…..
