Well…the FBI director showed his true colors Friday when he tried to change the election by a news release that announced that they have found “new” e-mails that might have something to do with Hillary’s e-mail server. Never mind that this goes against decades of policy at the FBI and that the Attorney General told Comey not to comment on an ongoing investigation, this idiot just had to wade in with his man Trump losing. My question here is why no releases on the 5 different investigations that Trump is under? You would think that the excuse of “transparency” would work both ways, wouldn’t you? Nope, not for the repubs…who can NEVER be trusted…ever! So resign, Comey, you have destroyed an trace of credibility that you had left and have ruined the reputation of the FBI along with it….geez…
October 29th
Well…feel like crap this morning and I think I have a cold or something…have been hacking and coughing since yesterday and I really don’t like this at all…it’s kind of weird this morning that I am waiting for it to get light so I can get out on the bike…it is already 66 degrees so I can get out in a t-shirt after the next cup of coffee…but the wind is blowing almost 20 so that will make it a little hard…probably should take the day off with feeling this crappy but how can I miss a day this warm in the end of October? I did get some stuff done yesterday and that may have contributed to the coughing but we’ll see later in the day….I do have Man U at 10 and then right into Michigan at State and then into F1 qualifying so there will be a good chance to get a nap in, too….okay, going to go back to the couch to finish the coffee and then on the bike…more later….
This makes it worse for Comey…
Well…if this latest bullshit “investigation” wasn’t enough to show that the FBI director Comey is a hyper partisan hack, the details make it even worse…three e-mails, yep just three e-mails and none of them were on Hillary’s server and it appears that the release of the letter from Comey was coordinated with the rest of the repubs since Trump started talking about it within 5 minutes of the release and Paul Ryan immediately called for Hillary’s briefings to be suspended. Now Comey really needs to go….he should resign immediately or sooner…geez…
Comey needs to be fired…
Well…if you didn’t think the director of the FBI was trying to influence the election with his grandstanding and scolding news conference about Hillary’s e-mails, now we have this hyper partisan idiot announcing he is re-opening the “investigation” since there have been “new” e-mails discovered…and here is where he is trying to influence the election: the e-mails that he has “found” were on some sort of a “device” and, as Pete Williams of NBC has reported, they have nothing to do with Hillary…and you can just guess that in the three paragraph announcement of the “re-opening” that
Comey doesn’t mention that fact…and this is on purpose…this partisan hack is trying to influence the election for his repub cronies…this is clear to anyone and he should be fired for it…I mean, what difference would it make if he waited until after the election..or god forbid that he just did his frickin job and kept it confidential until the new “investigation” is over. We know what his motives are and he should be fired…today….
October 28th
Well…okay, this is going to be a short one this morning since I have things that need to be done before 9:30….it was a cold day on the bike yesterday and I am happy that it is warmer than that already today….okay…will be back later…have some time sensitive stuff that needs to be done right now….more later….
I’m back…got everything done I needed to and now I’m waiting for the battery in the walkman to charge…it’s pretty funny that I have co2 fog pouring out of my kitchen sink…it was a tolerable day yesterday and I made a big pot of chili so that kept me busy for a couple of hours but then I really didn’t have much else to do….and today is going to be the same with no pool since Tom is busy….so I guess I’ll take a nap later since I haven’t been sleeping at all….I should clean the bathroom and I might after the bike ride…might even be able to go out without gloves since it is almost 50 already….more later….
Trump corporate welfare….
Well….if it wasn’t bad enough that Trump hasn’t paid any federal taxes in the last 20 years….now it comes to light that he has been the recipient of almost a billion dollars in corporate welfare in the same time frame. Across the country, at every building or project he has done, he has gotten property tax breaks that essentially made him never have to pay property taxes on anything he has ever owned. On one building that he owned in New York, that was appraised at 120 million dollars, he received a property tax break of almost 380 million dollars…guaranteeing that he never paid a penny in taxes on it…something that just isn’t available to anyone but the rich and shows how they have rigged the system to steal more and more from the rest of us taxpayers. I wonder if anyone who was putting an addition on their house ever got that kind of a tax break? Nope…you paid and Trump didn’t. This is the kind of country that Trump wants…that the connected and the rich get to use everything that you and I pay for through our taxes….and Trump is the biggest freeloader of them all…SAD….
October 27th
Well….I finally accomplished something yesterday…got the fridge cleaned and that just showed me how little food I have around here…I like the order and cleanliness, though, so that is cool…but, with all the rain yesterday I couldn’t put the trash out that I took out of it…and the damn bag leaked all over the floor…I wonder when trash bags got so crappy that they leak all the time? Took a half hour to clean up the pickle juice and that was not fun….other than that, the day was pretty much a veg yesterday with rain and cold all day…and it continues this morning so I’m not sure when I am going to get out on the bike today….and I should do the counters and stove top today and that will be the goal….after I finish my coffee and check out more of the news…the damn Detroit papers weren’t there this morning and that left me with the crappy GR press and that just irritates the hell out of me…..more later…
Less than two weeks to go…
Well….it’s less than two weeks to go until the election and I am happy that the season is almost over….one of the takeaways from this one is how corrosive Citizens United is to democracy….and the fact that dark money from the repub side is flooding into senate races to the tune of 25 million dollars for the last two weeks for just 6 seats just shows that they are poised to buy the election…but, the simple fact is that if we vote, we win…no matter how much money the other side spends…if we vote, we win. I really do hope that Trump is toxic for the down ballot races here in Michigan so we have at least a chance of taking back the house here to stop the tea party idiots and Snyder from doing more damage…..first they tax my retirement and give it to Ceo’s, then they poison an entire city and think it’s okay since they are not republicans….just need everyone to get out and vote…we need the supreme court to go back to following the constitution, not ideology…geez…
October 26th
Well…it was just another Tuesday yesterday but I survived it so that was a win in my book…didn’t get a lot done but I have a big project for today…going to clean the fridge for the first time in a couple of months and that will take some time…and, I’ll have it with the rain starting already and continuing the rest of the day…it’s only going to 43 today, too, so that is just too much weather for me to deal with right now….slept really crappy last night and I think I must have rolled 3 miles back and forth and I am sore for it…but that will be taken care of later….haven’t made a lot of cash lately so it looks like no groceries for next week since I have supplies that I need to buy…oh, well….looks like I clean out the freezer but there is not a lot in it…should thaw the last container of soup…..more later….
Disappearing trails….
Well…not sure what is going on with me but everything seems to be just so much damn effort today…getting out of bed, getting the papers, working out, the bike ride, and a trip out to get some allergy medicine just took everything out of me….hmmmm…but that’s not what this one is about…riding through the woods on the trail get to be pretty strange this time of the year with the leaves covering the entire thing…making it basically disappear….and it is a little disorienting to go into the woods and not remember which way the trail goes when the direction is not clear to me…pretty weird feeling today but I survived it…I may have to pay more attention on the bike since riding the same trail every day puts me on autopilot….
