The “happiest place in the world” is a fraud….

Well…not sure if you’ve been following what has been happening in Florida with deSantis and his troglodyte followers passing the “don’t say gay” law that would prevent any teacher there from mentioning that gay people exist or even children from talking about their gay parents and their family…and would allow any asshole parent to sue teachers if they even hear if they might have slipped and mentioned that gay people exist….and one of the biggest donors to these assholes is the Disney corporation who continue to pour money into these cretins to help them get elected….and they explain it by saying that they can’t speak out against the law or stop their donations or the extreme right wing assholes may boycott Disney and cost them money….but that is all just an excuse…what they are really doing is protecting their sweetheart tax deals they’ve gotten from Florida that allows them to essentially pay no taxes at all….and that is what concerns them more than laws that codify discrimination against the LGBT community….after all, Disney is run by a MAGA apologist who donates only to right wing assholes like trump and he is just fine with gays being treated like crap….so he fakes that Disney is being blackmailed by the red hats out there when he really doesn’t want to do anything to support the gay community anyway…it’s all just a convenient way for him to wave away the cynical calculus he is making to keep the cash pouring into his own pocket…the happiest place in the world, my ass…boycott Disney until they show that they care about all humans, not just the ones that line their pockets…geez…

What a bunch of third graders…

Well…damn, today almost got away from me again and I’m here for a political one but later than I like…so, Georgia repubs acting like 3rd graders again? Yep…after they passed their Jim Crow voter suppression law that targeted the AA community and everyone else who won’t ever vote for repubs, Delta Airlines, whose HQ is in Atlanta, came out with a mild statement that basically said they don’t think taking away the vote from anyone is a good idea….and of course, the repubs acted like the third graders they are and passed a bill that would take away some tax breaks that they granted Delta a few years back…this would cost Delta around 50 million dollars a year and these assholes were preening around in front of the cameras with pride, just like a toddler who has learned how to go potty. Now, these pricks are all about the first amendment when it comes to their side, protecting the right to lie constantly and just make stuff up, but when a company (who has donated millions to repubs over the years) takes them to task, they just have to lash out since some of them know what they are doing is wrong and they can’t stand having their noses rubbed in it…and this won’t be the last time….the tide is building for a boycott of the entire economy of Georgia and I wonder what they will do when one of these companies will just say enough and will move out of their confederate state? Explain that to the people who will lose jobs, morons…geez…

Boycott everything Georgia…

Well…if you thought that the repubs could get any worse with voter suppression, man, you were wrong. Just yesterday, the repub dominated legislature and the governor, Brian Kemp, signed into law a bill that would make the architects of the old Jim Crow voter suppression laws green with envy…after minorities and suburban whites came out and voted en masse to elect two dems to the senate powered by mail in voting, the repubs couldn’t have any of that so the bill signed into law does away with all of the legal methods that the dems used to make themselves heard…and these assholes even made it illegal for people to bring food and water to people who are waiting in line for hours to vote due to the previous voter suppression tactics that the repubs installed but the dems worked their butts off to still exercise their right to vote. Now imagine that…their fellow Georgian citizens working their butts off to figure out how to navigate the previous maze of voter suppression and cast their legal votes now have to stand in the hot sun without the relief that a bottle of water or a snack would bring just because these white racists don’t have anything to offer to any Georgian so they need to make sure they can’t vote or they will lose the white supremicist domination of the state. So now, we must boycott any business that is based in Georgia to make sure that these businesses, who invariably donate to repubs, pay for this support of the revival of Jim Crow that discriminates against those who don’t vote for repubs…I’m going to start with any product that is produced by the Coca Cola company and I will not buy another thing from Home
Depot until they put pressure on these repubs to repeal this un-American law….how can this be happening in 2021?

NASCAR can go right to hell…

Well…I knew that the owners of nascar and most of the drivers are trump loving morons and that was shown when he was installed and drivers like Kesolowski and Bowyer expressed their glee on twitter and I responded to them with a question…” you have young kids, would you point to trump as a role model for them?” Of course, they couldn’t defend it so they didn’t respond…and we have seen the heads of nascar, the France family, palling around with the idiot boy and wearing their MAGA hats… we’ve even seen driver Austin Dillon giving the white power “OK” hand signal in the intros to the races…so nascar is  a cesspool of trump supporting, entitled, right wing assholes…even with that, I have been ignoring those facts since I am still a race fan and wanted to see the races, but, with the invite of the asshole in chief to be grand marshal of the Daytona 500 tomorrow, I have reached my breaking point…normalizing trump with this type of event is something I will not be part of…so I will not be watching the 500 tomorrow…and, being honest, I have been losing my interest in nascar for years now and have basically used the races for background noise as I take a nap on Sunday afternoons…hence the term that I use, “napcar” to describe the series. I hope the trump loving France family enjoys their little bubble of right wing assholes…but for a lot of the rest of us, nascar is dead to us with this last straw….great way to grow the series, morons…

Boycott the super bowl…

Well…we all know by now that trump lies, and lies and lies…and he is constantly given tv time to spew them every damn day…and today, the owners of the teams in the NFL are giving him another platform to lie to America with a captive audience at the Super Bowl. From what I’ve read, reporters who have seen the text of the filmed segment, the whole thing is just more of his racist bullshit where he will try to convince people that there is a “crisis” at our southern border when everyone in this country other than trump and his cronies know that’s a blatant lie…and he is going to use this lie filled screed to attack Nancy Pelosi since she has told him there is never going to be money for his damn, stupid wall….never mind that this is not the place for that sort of bullshit, I blame the trump loving owners for allowing this asshole to pollute the airwaves with his racist bullshit…so I, for one will not take part in it…I am going to boycott the Super Bowl and I think every other progressive in this country should, too…we don’t need to reward the NFL and the owners for supporting this corrupt, lying asshole….impeach…

Nike’s online sales up 31% this week…

Well…after Nike announced that Colin Kaepernick was going to be the face of it’s new ad campaign, the MAGA idiots out there went nuts cutting up their Nike clothing and burning their Nike shoes…just brilliant to destroy something you’ve already paid for just to “own” the libs that they think run everything….and then came the usual calls from the righties to boycott Nike since they support Kaepernick “disrespecting” the national anthem…but, let’s get this straight..the protest are not against the flag, or the military, or the national anthem as the right has lied and lied about…they are about the unfair treatment that minorities still get every damn day by police in this country…and it is Kaepernick’s right under the first amendment to do it. So, today…Nike announced that it’s online sales have exploded by 31% since the ad campaign was announced…and what I have to say about that is ha, ha….and, would you MAGA shits please announce a boycott of my site? I could use a 31% increase in readership….geez….

Boycott Sam Adams…

Well…sitting here waiting to feel better and just read an article about the founder of Sam Adams beer kissing trump’s ass about the tax cut that gave away the country to the rich…so, of course, I call for a boycott of every damn Sam Adams beer there is….there has to be a cost for these assholes supporting the racist, idiot in chief just to make themselves richer….don’t they understand that taxes go to make this country a better place to live? That they pay for schools, roads, and infrastructure that makes brewing and distributing his crappy beer possible? As part of my silent protest against these guys, I will never buy or drink another Sam Adams beer….and, I hope you won’t either….

Boycott WWMT channel three…

Well…with the FCC not doing it’s duty to ensure that news isn’t turned into propaganda, that is exactly what has happened with a company called Sinclair. This company has been buying up tv stations across the country and has been turning them into trump propaganda machines by forcing local anchors to read from the “fake news” script and lie to the people they are supposed to serve. We have one of those stations here in West Michigan, WWMT, or channel three from Kalamazoo that is joining in…so, what we need to do is hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook by boycotting this un-American company that is doing Russia’s work in undermining our democracy…and the person who wrote the script that the news anchors are forced to read  used to work for the Russian propaganda channel RT…that should be enough for anyone who wants to help protect this country…boycott….

Boycott “Roseanne” part two…

Well….just when you thought Roseanne couldn’t be any worse of a person, it comes to light that she has been attacking the Parkland shooting survivors, David Hogg, specifically by re-tweeting the right wing conspiracy that claims that David Hogg gave a Nazi salute during his March for Our Lives address…and this is just one of the harassments and conspiracies that the right has been pushing since these brave kids said enough to school murders and have started doing something about it. To have someone like Roseanne personally attack  and slur a 17 year old kid for speaking his mind and expressing his first amendment right to speak, is just frickin wrong and the execs at ABC who support this person need to do something about it…a fake apology is not enough…we need to boycott this rotten to the core person and ensure that this hate is not rewarded…after all, boycotts work…just look at Laura Ingraham, whose advertisers are abandoning her show on fox after she also attacked David Hogg on Twitter….this type of hate can’t go unpunished in a civil society…and I hope Roseanne pays with the loss of her show….geez…

Boycott “Roseanne”

Well….I’m not sure where the media and the right come up with the idea that Hollywood has a “liberal bias” when crap like “Roseanne” and “The Ranch” keep getting made. I wonder why the producers or the studio heads would approve of this trump fluffing nonsense if they are so liberal….probably because money trumps anything…money trumps the truth…money trumps morality…get the idea? Just read an article with Roseanne where she was asked about trump’s anti gay bias, his affairs, his criminality, and she just let it all go saying that she didn’t “believe” that trump has done anything wrong…giving him a pass during the week where he and Pence rolled out their new trans bashing policy that would throw all trans people out of the military…and where Pence spoke at a conference saying that gays shouldn’t have the same rights as the rest of us and that he will work for a constitutional amendment to permanently make them second class citizens. That’s not homophobia, or bigotry, or wrong…at least not in Roseanne’s eyes…and that is just the kind of normalization of trumpism that these shows are all about…that’s it’s perfectly fine to hate the “others” and live with no moral character at all…the only response to this whitewash is to boycott this toxic brew and make sure that this hate is not rewarded….geez….
