Well…I am just so damn surprised today that the fascist, racist “rally” that idiot boy put on at MSG Sunday is being reported for what it was…pure hate for anyone who is not a white…calling Puerto Rico (whose residents are American citizens) a garbage dump and the people there nasty names that I won’t repeat here…so now you know who the attacks are coming for…and that is everyone who the idiot trump doesn’t like…doesn’t matter if you’re white, black, or brown…if you don’t kiss his ass, you are a target…this time it’s more than one paper that is not sanewashing any of the fascist bullshit that was on display all day Sunday…and even some repubs are backing away from the idiot…especially downballot repubs who are in fights and who know that the independents they need to get elected are just not down with full on fascism…gee…who knew? I really do hope they keep trotting trump out for this last week to remind people who he really is…cripes even Barbary Bush is out campaigning for Kamala…that’s how much some repubs hate trump…they know he’s ruining the repub party but where were they 4 years ago when they could have convicted him in either impeachment and we wouldn’t be dealing with idiot boy right now…it’s on you repubs, you did this…geez…

Selfishness on display….
Well….I didn’t know that not being able to plant flowers or get a haircut was a threat to the “freedom” of the people of Michigan. Yesterday, spurred on by fox news, you know, the network that said that the coronavirus was a hoax…a bunch of rural, white repubs decided that trying to prevent the spread of the virus was not “‘murican” and not being able to go out to bars and gun ranges was the “greatest” threat to freedom in the history of the country….and a few of them even got out of their cars to gather on the steps of the capital to wave their guns, confederate flags, and trump 2020 flags and “own the libs” by ignoring social distance recommendations…. after all they say, that most of the infections are in “urban” areas which is racist code for black areas and they just think they are immune from the virus since they live in the country….now, I’ve raged about the selfishness of repubs here for years now….that they don’t care about any crisis unless it hits their immediate family and this puts that selfishness on full display…that even minor inconvenience…well, the stay at home orders are more than a minor inconvenience to many people who have lost their jobs and their businesses, but what are their lives worth? Again, the right is trotting out the “economic anxiety” excuse for the protests, that people need to get back to work, but that is the same reason that they used to explain the election of trump that has been exploded many times…and the true reason is that unless you are straight, white, and christian, you don’t count at all and it is okay that you die or get locked up in cages since you are “the other”….what other reason would there be for waving a confederate flag? I know that this lockdown is hard on people…even for someone like me who is used to being alone…but this “protest” of these morons is going to get people killed just like the 90% of coronavirus deaths here in the US that could have been avoided if trump and his cronies had done their jobs instead of playing politics with the response…I guess we are not “in this together”…but over the past 30 years we never were….
Barr has got to go…
Well…cripes, is everyone in trump’s orbit a damn racist asshole? It sure looks like it with the screed that William Barr delivered the other day in a speech…saying that there are some “communities” that need to cooperate and support the police more or they may just not have any police at all. Yeah, my jaw dropped too with the not even thinly veiled threat against communities of color who have been abused by police since the Jim Crow era and whose abuse continues to this day…and now ole Barr wants them to be appreciative for being abused? Coming from any political party but the completely corrupt repubs, this would have resulted in huge calls for Barr to resign immediately…but not the modern repubs…nope…Barr’s screed was met with nothing but silence by repubs and the media who reported this incident on the back pages…what the hell is it going to take to get rid of Barr? Lying to congress didn’t do it, running all over the world trying to get someone to support stupid conspiracy theories didn’t do it…and now being overtly racist isn’t doing it…I just can’t anymore….
What a racist ass…
Well…are you surprised that every damn day the idiot trump reveals himself more and more as the racist asshole he is? In a bunch of deranged tweets this morning, he attacked the 4 new, young progressive women who were elected in the 2018 wave election…telling them to go back to where they came from to fix their “worst countries in the world” before they open their mouths to criticize his racist, illegal concentration camps at our southern border…geez what an asshole…first, three of the four women he bleated about were born here in the US, and the other is a Somali refugee who came here with her parents when she was 10…and, you know what else they have in common? They are all women of color…and everyone knows how much trump hates women and anyone who is not white…and a sick thing is that the racist network fox laughed about the comments and tried to explain them away as being “just a joke” and lying that idiot boy never said what his tweets spelled out clearly. Do you hear that silence? Yep, that’s the repub party’s comments that racist attacks on anyone are not acceptable…all of them are silent and complicit in this racism and have tied themselves tightly to trump the anchor…and it is going to take them down next year…they all need to go….impeach…
Hypocrisy…are you surprised?
Well…I know there are a lot of things happening in politics right now dealing with the controversy in in Virginia where the dem governor is accused of racist behavior and, to our sides credit, everyone from Pelosi on down have called for his resignation….but the thing that pisses me off is everyone on the right is doing the same thing…let’s get this straight right off…to me, any racist behavior no matter when it was by any candidate or politician is disqualifying…no grey area there at all…so I do think Northam should resign….but to see the “good folks” on the right clamoring for his resignation when they continue to give Steve King, Louie Gohmert, and the idiot boy trump a pass on even worse things they do every day is the worst kind of hypocrisy….and anyone on the right can just shut the hell up and let us handle it…and that’s another difference…on the left, we DO handle it…no one gets a pass, no one gets a smirk and a wink when they do something wrong…we have accountability on our side…how about you repubs? Clean up your own house before you open your mouths…geez…
Well done, ABC…
Well…if you haven’t already heard, ABC has just cancelled Roseanne’s show due to the racist comments she made on twitter yesterday…now, I feel for the other actors and crew on the show who aren’t racist trumpist, assholes….but, this is not new behavior from Roseanne and I’m sure they have seen this before and signed on anyway….nice job, Roseanne…your racism just lost 10 talented actors and a hundred crew people their jobs…maga…
Thank you, ABC for doing the right thing and showing us that American values shouldn’t be racist…and the open racism that trump has unleashed is not acceptable in anyone…
Trump is letting Puerto Rico die…
Well…it would be one thing if it was only incompetence that is keeping trump and his minions from doing anything to help Puerto Rico….but we have the worst kind of combination that is going to kill many, many American citizens there…the combination of incompetence, racism and indifference…and this is proven by the statement from the WH that they will be putting forward a proposal on aid to PR in the first or maybe the second week of October…who knows? By then the children in the children’s hospital there will be dead from lack of power, water, and food…and hundreds of people on dialysis will be dead from the same…and hundreds, if not thousands of people will starve to death from this callous indifference to their plight from our so-called president…the bottom line is he just doesn’t give a damn about brown skinned people…no matter if they are citizens or not…and the people he put in charge of the government feel the same damn way….what a bunch of worthless assholes….what do you say now repubs? Is this blatant disregard for his responsibilities enough for you to impeach? Nope, probably not…
Trump really is a four year old…
Well…with the racist asshole’s rant yesterday that was widely seen as support of the nazi’s that attacked and killed people in Charlottesville last week, the CEO’s that sit on his business advisory councils had started to resign enmasse and the 4 year old in the White House just couldn’t take it…so he took his ball and went home…by disbanding the councils before all of them resigned. I’ll bet there is steam rolling out of his ears with this latest in a long line of his failures…he can’t even get his buddies to still associate with him. But, I’m not going to heap too much praise on those who resigned…I still fault them for doing anything for the idiot in the first place…they knew he was a racist asshole idiot and yet they still supported him and loved the fact the Hillary lost…so what do you think now, repubs? Is this enough for you to remove this racist asshole? Nope, probably not…impeach…
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….
Thank you Captain Obvious…
Well…it is the end of the month and a Friday so that means it’s a cocktail night so I thought I’d get this one done before I retire to the couch for some relaxation…just read about a new study done on what drives the tea party…not the founding of it..we all know it was an astroturf organization founded by the Koch’s and other right wing billionaires to use to funnel money into right wing causes…but, what has been kept hidden to the mainstream media..well…not hidden but of no interest to them….is the glue that holds it together….and, a new study done at Florida state puts science to work to divine what that is…and guess what? It’s racial resentment! And racism….thank you Captain Obvious for that little nugget of truth…from the start, the tea party was a movement of white guys that just hated that there was a black guy in the White House…how else do you explain the constant effort of everyone on the right to de-legitimize the president? It’s not complex…they hate black people and this is how racists react…simple as that…..geez…
