Well….if it wasn’t bad enough that the tasteless, classless trump hung gold all over the white house, now his staff is turning it into the trump shopping network. This morning, one of his chief idiots, Kellyanne Conway went on the air from the white house to hawk Ivanka trumps clothing line..yep, she actually did a commercial for her clothes on government time when she is being paid by the government. Not only is this the most classless thing that has ever been done in the white house, it is also illegal…so the law and order repub administration, three weeks in, has broken federal law for the umpteenth time….what are you going to do about this repubs…nothing of course, since you are a bunch of shameless hypocrites that spent 8 years crying about the lawless Obama administration that did not break the law….get on it and do something…
Don’t trust Gorsuch…it’s a front…
Well….the news is buzzing this morning with the “disagreement” that the SC nominee, Neil Gorsuch, is supposedly having with the idiot trump over trumps attacks on the judiciary after they slapped him down on his immigration fiasco…don’t believe it. Gorsuch is such a right wing corporatist who doesn’t believe in voting rights, or women’s rights to choose that they needed to do something to make him appear more moderate than he is…and what better way than to fake a disagreement with the idiot trump? This is all a front to sell his nomination to the American people and give the repub senators that are going to vote for him cover when they do…making him appear independent when he will be trump’s toady and supporting the worst of the fascist trumps ideas that will ruin this country even more than anyone can predict…..mark my words, this is all just a scam…you’ll see…
February 9th
Well…crap…thought I was going to have another nice night of good dreams and sleep last night but no…oh,well….not too sore this morning and I have been productive already with getting the grocery run done…but, it is cold out there…only 14 degrees and the wind is blowing like crazy…below zero wind chill and I froze just getting the groceries in the car…it is supposed to warm up over the next few days and I look forward to that….need to get cleaning done today and tomorrow since my son is coming in sat with my new laptop…the guys at plex did a software update yesterday and took the whole system down and that is annoying…didn’t realize how much I used it until now….I did get my fed taxes done yesterday and now I can pay my car insurance…might have to use the rest of it for a new phone since they have stopped supporting the software for the old one….can’t believe you can get a nice laptop for less than a damn phone….more later….
Add another one to the B-3 count…
Well…sitting here watching the 2016 New Orleans jazz festival and Elvis Costello and there is a B-3 being used on stage..on the left hand of the stage just like most of the rest….so, add another one to the B-3 count….
France and Yemen now school the idiot trump…
Well…another day, another couple of countries understand that there is no dealing with trump…..the president of France was just dumbfounded after a phone call with the idiot trump…he couldn’t keep a train of thought and just ranted about unrelated stuff all through the call…going off on everyone who questioned him and made a bunch of personal attacks throughout the call….real presidential and that makes one more country that doesn’t see the point of even talking to trump….and then there’s the botched raid in Yemen that killed over 30 civilians, didn’t get any of the terrorists that were the target of the raid, and that was authorized over dinner without any military people even being there…just his son-in-law, and the racist Bannon…and the result of that raid and of banning anyone from Yemen coming into the country? Yemen has just said the US can go to hell and get out of the country, not allowing any more anti terror raids there when Yemen is a hotspot for terror organizing…boy, that sure makes us more safe doesn’t it trump? What an ignorant idiot…repubs, where the impeachment?
Racism silences Elizabeth Warren…
Well…how much clearer is the overt racism of the repubs these days when they defend a known racist, Jeff Sessions, by using a senate rule that was put in place in 1902 to protect another racist in the senate from being called on advocating the murder of AA’s? And to have the turtle McConnell silence her just when she was reading a letter from Coretta Scott King from the 80’s that made clear that Sessions was a racist then and should be excluded from consideration to be the new AG. Back in the 80’s Sessions was up for a federal judgeship and had such a racist trail that he couldn’t get approved then, but in the new repub party that doesn’t matter…the only thing that matters is power to them and they really like the idea of having a racist AG who will take voting rights away from those damn minorities who vote for the dems. This one is a two fer for the repubs…they shut up an uppity woman who dares to think she is equal to the men in the senate but they then allowed two male senators to continue to read the very same letter…these actions distill what the repubs are about these days…hatred for women and minorities are at the top of their agenda…and this crap needs to be slapped down hard….
February 8th
Well….slept okay last night and had dreams of being in a movie with lots of fast cars…and here’s a weird thing, I was driving a twin turbo Corvair…all of you out there that are near in age to me remember the Corvair…not a performance car by any means and I never owned one so I’m not sure where that came from….strange….feel okay this morning after being good for three days in a row and tonight will make it four…..I did get out and get my hair cut yesterday and I really needed it…had to get more allergy stuff since they are really bad and I can’t breathe at night….not too sore this morning and that is a welcome departure from the past few weeks…actually feel pretty good this morning…think I’ll try to get my taxes in today since I just got my 1099’s yesterday….and I can use the cash….don’t have a lot to do today….I have already put some ribs in the oven to cook low and slow for lunch and then there is soccer this aft but that is about it…more later…
Trump has brought the world together…against us…
Well….the world’s assessment is in and it ain’t pretty…leaders in Germany call trump a “pathological liar” while Great Britain refuses to let him address parliament citing his “lying and racism”….and now Germany has basically abandoned any plans to work with the US for the next four years since they know it would be frustrating dealing with trump at the very least and even dangerous to Germany and Europe. So, where does that leave us? The blustering idiot has left the US isolated from it’s position of leadership in the world and has even spurred on Germany to begin shaping a world where the US has no say…working with the rest of Europe and with countries in Africa to fill the vacuum that the idiot trump has made by just being trump…and now with abandoning of trade agreements that trump says he will “re-negotiate”, the power vacuum that those actions have left elevates China to the leadership of trade in Asia and destroys any power that Obama worked so hard to build. Not bad for two frickin weeks of that idiot in charge….we are now the laughingstock of the world for “electing” this ignorant racist, facist to the presidency…and we are all going to pay for it….every damn time a repub gets elected, we dems have to come in and clean up after them…and I am getting damn tired of it….
Poor little snowflakes…
Well…with all of the crap going on with the idiot trump, and the many things to write about….I find that my outrage tank is empty today and I just can’t bring myself to write anything about the idiot or and of the other idiot repubs…okay maybe there’s a little outrage left…….the little snowflake repubs are now complaining that they have to talk to their constituents and all of them have been running away for the town hall meetings that they have scheduled…going so far as to start to talk about “alternative exits” so they don’t have to see the people they supposedly represent if they don’t ask them the softball questions that they are used to by the hand picked crowds they are used to…I have this to say to these poor little snowflakes…suck it up…you and your ilk have pissed off more than half of the country and now this kind of confrontation is going to be your new normal…if you were planning to bask in the adulation of adoring crowds you are more delusional than trump…who is basically in the bunker white house since his disapproval rating is 54% and only 42% of the people agree with how he is doing his job….and there is nowhere to go but down…we all need to resist in every way every day to make sure the damage these asses do is limited…and we can do that….
February 7th
Well….it was a Monday yesterday and I didn’t get a lot done…I did wash the car to get the salt off of it and to be able to see out of the glass again….but the rest of the day was pretty much a bust and that was okay…didn’t sleep at all last night and feel it this morning…took two hours to get to sleep and then I was tossing a turning all night….now I’m sure that is what causing the pain I feel when I get up but I’m not sure what to do about it….I may be able to get back on the bike in a few days with the rain today but that won’t happen until Friday or sat since the next two days are going to be in the teens….I do have to get my hair cut this morning and then go out and get some allergy medicine since I’m down to the last two…..the rest of the day is going to be winging it since I really don’t have anything to do…more later….
