Well…just read an interesting article about crime in California that the repubs keep bleating about…with their main point being that the big cities are hellholes of crime and especially the ones run by dems…so this researcher did the math and found out something that doesn’t surprise me and shows where the repubs are getting the idea that things are so bad…and they are in counties in California that are run by repubs…in those counties, the murder rate is up 65% and other major crimes mirror those numbers…but in the blue counties and big cities run by dems, the murder rate is down 37% over the past couple of years…and again, other major crimes have seen the same drops…part of the murder rate in red counties is from the fact that sheriffs there refuse to enforce the sensible gun laws that have been passed over the past few years…things like red flag laws and universal background checks that have been shown to work…but there is more than that going on…the overall lack of respect for the laws of the state in repubs that has been pounded into them by the idiot trump over the past 7 years has led to more and more crime since they feel the law doesn’t apply to them…the repubs are turning the areas they control into hell holes and they like it that way since they just love to whine about things…while the dems continue to make their states better like here in Michigan…geez…

But wait, there’s more…
Well…with all of the attention given to the miraculous supreme court decision announced yesterday that yes, LGBTQ people here in the US have the same rights as everyone else and can’t be fired or discriminated against for who they are, there were two more cases that were also decided that put the old advertising hook in my head..”but wait, there’s more!” The first one dealt with California passing legislation declaring itself a “sanctuary state” that would not cooperate with the thugs from ICE who were terrorizing the undocumented population there…some with deep roots in the state and most who are contributing members of California society…doing jobs that no one else wants to do at the pay that farm owners want to pay. After the law was passed, trump and his racist cronies sued California for not spending their tax dollars to help them carry out their racist policies of putting children in cages and separating them from their families. Every damn court upheld California’s right to determine how their state will be run and how it’s tax money will be spent…but even after losing in every court, Barr kept up appealing the ruling, thinking that their cronies on the supreme court would certainly allow them to force states to be as racist as they are…but he and the rest of trump’s racist cronies got slapped down when the court told them to go away, that California has the right to control their state. The second case is more about what the court didn’t do…they declined to take 10 cases on gun control that the second amendment nuts had shopped around to right wing trumpist judges who ignored the law to rule in their favor…but after the appeals courts ruled that reasonable restrictions on the second amendment are allowed…as with every other damn amendment, the court declined to take the cases, essentially saying the appeals courts got it right in what they ruled…so now trump is even a bigger loser today than yesterday….he has lost 99% of the cases his crooked justice department under Barr has brought but that won’t stop them for wasting more of the court’s time for the next 6 months….losers all…
Idiot boy is scared of the mail…
Well…the deranged squatter in the WH went off on another twitter rant today about the idea that there must be a scam involved since California lets people vote by mail…which they have for years…and he is so damn dumb and addled that he doesn’t get that Californians can vote in person, too if they want…..ranting that they opened A voting booth in a democratically controlled area so the dems just have to be cheating…cripes…project much? Look dimwit…if you had half a brain and weren’t so damn ignorant, you would know that most states have varied ways to vote…as here in Michigan where we have no reason permanent absentee voting where anyone can request an absentee ballot and they don’t need a reason to request it…due to a citizens initiative that passed in 2018 but we also have in person voting for those who want to vote that way…I know what you’re scared of with mail in voting…you even said the all too rare bit of truth when you commented that a repub would never be elected again if there is universal mail in voting….that the repubs can’t suppress or play their voter ID games with…with this asshole still squatting in the WH and spewing his ignorance, it feels like we’re all in an abusive relationship…and it is so damn tiring…can November come quickly?
This is a president?
Well…if you didn’t already know the the idiot trump is a racist asshole, you just need to look at his behavior toward the US citizens in Puerto Rico and his tweet from yesterday threatening to pull FEMA and all of the military personnel out with more than 50% of the island still without water and over 90% still without power. This is not how presidents act…to abandon US citizens after the greatest natural disaster ever to hit the island…and to compound that racism, he proposed that no more money will be spent to rebuild the island unless it is in the form of loans…not grants, not federal money, but loans that his cronies will profit from…but that is all the the idiot is about…sucking this country dry and enriching himself and his buddies while wildfires burn hundreds of thousands of acres across the west, and hurricanes destoy PR and the USVI….is this enough yet, repubs? Is this finally the last straw? Nope, not for these amoral assholes….impeach….
I just can’t help it…
Well…I promised that I would start talking about other topics other than ole Mitt but he is just such an easy target that I can’t help it…so, I guess I’ll do it again today…read an interesting bit of conjecture in the Post this morning on why ole Mitt won’t release his tax returns and it has nothing to do with whether he paid taxes or not…it is whether he committed felony voting fraud by faking that he was a resident of Massachusetts when he was really living in California at the time…and that would show on the address he used on his returns…if it is a California address (you know…the house with the car elevator) then another repub has committed a felony that he won’t be prosecuted for….I wonder if he’ll go back and retroactively live in MA? Here’s one other funny bit about this whole thing, the address that he was using to be able to vote in MA was the basement of his son’s house…now, you’ve got a guy that is worth 250 million dollars and he is living in his kid’s basement? It just shows you how these folks don’t think that the laws that apply to you and me apply to them….geez…
Rick Santorum is still an idiot…
Well…read this little tidbit about comment that ole Rick made that quite a few of the colleges in California no longer even offer American history courses and cites this as “indoctrination” of students that keeps them from understanding America and it conservative roots….I am paraphrasing a little there…and maybe editorializing some, too….but the facts are that all of the colleges in California offer courses in American history…except one in the hotbed of liberalism that is San Francisco….and guess what that one school teaches? Yep…I’ll bet you guessed it’s a medical school, where everyone admitted already has a bachelor’s degree of some sort where they were required to take history as one of their requirements for the degree. How can this guy continue to be wrong all of the time and still be taken seriously? Geez….
