Well…still getting used to the keyboard layout of the new laptop but I’ll get there soon…one of the things I can’t understand is how people think the idiot trump did anything good about the economy and how he polls almost as good as Kamala on that issue…but I think Obama put it the best the other day when he made it clear that idiot boy was riding on the coattails of his economic work for the first two years of his term and made it clear that it’s always the job of a dem president to come in and clean up after the previous repub destroys everything…and that is just what Joe and Kamala had to do when they were elected…and they did such a good job that the US economy is the envy of the entire world…and every damn credible economist has said that idiot boy’s narrow sighted reliance on tariffs to punish the world will lead to an economic recession or worse for the entire world…so, people…just remember that the repubs have screwed the pooch on the economy every time they have been in charge for the past 50 years…and it’s because they let ideology and wishful thinking guide their plans…and you can see that with their reliance on tax cuts over and over again when it has been proven that they don’t work other than to make the rich richer…oh, I guess that’s the point…geez…

Three weeks…
Well…I don’t know if I’ve ever seen the type of changes in politics that have happened in the past three weeks after Joe dropped out of the race…and about that, I want to say thank you, Joe, for doing what you’ve always done…putting the country first and starting the tidal wave of blue that I know is coming…I’ve personally gone from doom and gloom to hope with Kamala nominated and the announcement of Tim Walz for VP and I think Kamala made exactly the right pick…and he is going to fit right in and show the country that politics can be something that can give people hope and make them smile instead of the sneering, hateful crap the repubs are selling…I’ve even gone back to reading the news again and I’m pretty sure we have this…there can’t be more of a difference between parties and tickets and I agree with Kamala: “We’re not going back!” Vote, and get others to vote…the trump and repub cancer needs to be eradicated with a landslide…geez…
Let’s remember this…
Well…as the election gets closer, there is only one thing that we need to remember…the economy always does better under dems…in every measure, like growth in GDP, income, jobs, and wages are better under dems…and the negative indicators like unemployment, inflation, and interest rates are lower under dems…and any gains from economic growth are spread more evenly when dems are in charge and the social safety nets are strengthened…and this data is so lopsided the study lead can’t figure out why polling shows that people think the repubs are better with economic issues…and that gap in the polls is due to the media not covering the economy other than as a horse race and never publish anything good about the dems performance even though for 75 years dems have outperformed repubs and Joe Biden and his team never get credit for an economy that is outperforming every other G-7 country in all of the indicators…and by a large margin…so we need to shout this from the rooftops every day from now until we win the election this fall…no tax cuts for the rich or corporations…geez…
What the hell is wrong with dems?
Well…I know it’s a year out from the 2024 election but I’m starting to get a little pissed at an increasing number of dems saying they won’t vote for Biden since he is too old or he supports Israel or some such bullshit…and you know what? If we don’t vote for Joe it’s the same thing as voting for the idiot trump…I know some people value ideological purity more than anything but damn, folks, no third party or protest votes this time…it’s too damn important that we keep any repub out of the WH and take back control of the House and keep the Senate….look, the only thing that will happen if we throw away our votes sine Joe is not far enough left for some people is that the rich will get richer, the environment will continue to deteriorate, and we will all lose more and more rights as the repubs trash the government and destroy programs that are keeping many of us oldsters alive…that is how important this coming election is…just look what happened here in Michigan when the people voted…things that are important to everyone has been passed…women have their rights enshrined in the constitution and we have fair voting districts in there, too…so dems, suck it up and get out to vote and protect this country…and that means no votes for any repub….geez…
Super Tuesday…
Well…the process for picking a dem candidate is going to get a big jolt today with the super Tuesday primaries across the country that will award over a thousand delegates toward the 1600 or so that are needed for the nom….and we had three candidates drop out over the past couple of days after the the results of the SC primary saw Joe Biden win by a large margin….look, you know my choice is Liz just because she has the policy chops and the steel to get things done for our progressive agenda…okay, what is called progressive these days was mainstream stuff just a generation ago…I mean, not locking kids up in cages? Up until the idiot trump that was something everyone was in agreement with…and respecting the constitution? The only party that still does that is ours and who thought the flag wavers on the other side would abandon that? Okay, I did…they are all craven liars who do nothing but hate…one thing I have to stress and I can’t stress it enough to the Bernie bros and the Warrenites is that if your candidate doesn’t win the nom, remember what’s at stake and stop the damn whining about sitting this one out if your person doesn’t win…any one of our candidates is light years better than idiot boy…and you know that the winner is going to welcome ideas and policy from those who didn’t win…we are all in this together and the overaching goal has to be to beat trump…cripes, learn how to compromise people…the country is at stake and you’re going to throw a hissy fit? That’s the best way to ensure that none of our ideas to make this country better get enacted…so, suck it up and pull together to remove the stain of trump and his cronies….
10 more months…
Well…as we watch the repubs systematically try to destroy this country and everything it stands for, I think we all have to remember this nightmare is only going to continue for 10 more months…looking at the generic polling for the House races, the dems are now up by an unheard of 17 points…..the last time the repubs took over the house, they were up by about 9 % in the polls and took over 40 seats….so, if they historical ratios hold, we could be looking at 50 or more seats gained when we only need 24 to take back control of the house…and when that happens, Nunes, Ryan, Gowdy and all of trump’s protectors and enablers in the house will no longer be able to protect him…if the idiot is not indicted by then. So, we need to take a deep breath, keep our heads down, and continue to resist the destruction of our country…and start making plans on how to repair it when we get back in control. Impeach….
I’m happy for the first time in a year…
Well….with the sound rejection of repubs and trumpism last night, I am happy politically for the first time in a year….the voters in Virginia, New Jersey, and Washington State gave us some hope for a better country…one that rejects the crass hate of the right for the inclusivity and welcoming of our side. Last night proved the mantra that I have been speaking since the depressing events of 2016…if WE vote, we win….and I am thankful for the work done at the grassroots in Virginia and the rest of the country that returned control of three states to our side….and the difference in the reactions to our side winning was stark…our winners immediately embraced the fact that they represent all of the people they were elected to serve…even those that didn’t vote for them….something that was always understood until the divisive politics of the repubs poisoned the country….so, all I have to say is keep it up dems….we are working for a better country for all of us and, with last night’s results, it just may be possible….the trump meltdown today is going to be delicious….
Ha, ha,ha,ha,ha…..
Well…just had to do another one of these about a little bit of news that just came over twitter….the ultra right wing of the repub party has just said that if the repub “healthcare” law is going to pass, it is going to need dem support. Now, I know that some of us dems have been delusional in thinking that you can work with the repubs when it is just not possible, but our delusions are not anywhere nearly crazy as the repubs thinking any one of us would support more giveaways to the rich and gutting a law that has helped get healthcare for 30 million of our fellow Americans. Just isn’t going to happen and Paul Ryan is the most delusional of them all when he says that he will have 218 votes for the law when it is put up for a vote…not gonna happen, Paul….the crazys on your right think that any law that restricts people’s freedom to die early from a lack of healthcare is communism…and you will never get the 30 of them to go along and you can be damn sure that no dem that wants to avoid being primaried is going to help you torch the ACA….you own this turd of a law…enjoy…
Congrats HRC…
Well…it was a day to remember yesterday with Hillary winning enough delegates to clinch the dem nomination for president….I was a Bernie supporter but I can live with Hillary…she is tough, smart, and knows what she is doing and has shown that with her time as SoS….and the 20 odd years she has endured the constant scandal mongering of the repubs…including the 50 million dollar boondoggle that was Whitewater where the repubs did their best but couldn’t find a thing that she had done wrong. I think it’s a great thing for our side that we are still trying to protect the progressive values that have been the hallmark of improvement in this country…while the repubs continue to regress to the 1800′s with their racism, homophobia, and the longing to return to the gilded age where 5 families controlled most of the wealth in this country. So, congrats Hillary…nice job….
Dem infighting and repub repbranding…
Well…it has been a busy day but I did get the ham soup made and made some cash…but, I do have one more to do to get to the goal for the month so here goes…the first thing I want to talk about is the dem infighting that is going on between the Hillary and Bernie supporters. I understand that many of the Bernie supporters are new to the political process and are more driven by idealism… but, politics is a process that needs a dose of realism as well….and that reality is the Hillary will probably win the nomination and no matter how much that hurts Bernie’s supporters (and I am one of them) we need to get back to reality and support the nominee of our party…to sit out the election will hand it to Drumpf and to any person that is based in reality, that can’t be better than having Hillary as president. The second thing is a funny article I read about the “rebranding” of the repubs that will happen if they lose the election…I laughed when I read that…rebrand to what? The repub party is JUST what they have been showing in this primary season…a group of racist, mysoginist, haters that are reflecting exactly what their base is….that no minorities need apply…that women are just things that have no rights to control their own bodies…that christians deserve special rights to discriminate against everyone they don’t like and the repubs will use the government to deliver this hate….if this is your vision of America, you sure as hell shouldn’t be here reading this….go back to redstate….geez….
