Well…just a short one on how stupid and how bad of a Russian Stooge he is…in a hearing in the senate today, Paul tried to justify Russia’s invasion of Georgia and the Ukraine by saying that they once were part of the soviet union so Russia has every right to invade and try to take them over…word by word talking points that Putin and his cronies have used to justify the invasion…so, under that logic, Russia has every right to attack and try to take back Alaska since it was once part of Russia…and England has every right to attack and try to take over the US or any one of their previous colonies like India or even China…or any country that once ruled another has the right to attack that country again…how about Germany and France? Or Italy and southern France? You see how ridiculous this moron is….and the big question is why the hell would a sitting senator try to justify the attack and genocide that Russia is doing in Ukraine? Rand Paul needs to go…he doesn’t have the brains or honor to be a senator…and he needs to go…geez…

Rand Paul is just so dumb….
Well…not sure if you read about it or saw it but Rand Paul went off on a twitter rant the other day about how you “steal” an election…but there is only one little problem about his rant…what he described was how to get people to turn out and vote for you legally….and I thought to myself “can he really be this dumb?” If you look at the loads of other stupid crap that comes out of this idiot, you would have to say yes…it seems every damn day this moron is going off on something or someone for no reason other than the attention he gets from it…I guess he is just voicing the belief of almost every repub these days that the only valid election is one they win and anything that our side does to win is “stealing” the election…..I wonder how this idiot deals with the almost constant ridicule that his “sage pronouncements” get…I mean a thousand people or more pointing out how dumb he is by responding to his tweet? We all know that repubs have no self awareness and aren’t too bright but damn, this is a whole new level of stupidity…and from a sitting US senator…I can only shake my head…geez…
A little political stuff…
Well…there have been a few developments in politics in the past few days but I’m not sure if they have given me enough to do a whole one on each, so I guess I’ll just start and see what happens. On our side, it looks like the race is tightening in Iowa with the latest polls showing it to be close…not quite a dead heat but Bernie has been gaining…or, Hillary has been sliding back and now we see what is going to happen from the Hillary camp…they are now starting to attack Bernie and I had hoped that we would have stuck to the issues instead of the nastiness that flows from the right….but, I guess it’s politics and to be expected…especially when Hillary was the anointed one back in 08 and she lost that one, too…then we have the latest where Carly and Rand have been demoted to the “kiddie” table debate and ole Rand is throwing a hissy fit about it…saying that he won’t participate…basically saying that the rules don’t apply to him…just like every other repub when they don’t get their way…what a bunch of losers…geez….
Congress is back…
Well…I have been trying to think about what to write today and it occurred to me that congress is back so tomorrow there should be some right wing nonsense to comment on…but today, I still need to think of something…maybe a grab bag one would be in order….I did laugh the other day when ole Marco Rubio declared that he is going to run for president…yep, still laughing today…there is no damn way that idiot is ever going to be president…I think it’s just a grift to get donors to give him cash so he’ll have a nice retirement fund when he gets beaten in the next election….then, there was the Hillary announcement…which I viewed as inevitable but she is not my choice…either Bernie Sanders or Elizibeth Warren would be better choices since they truly understand the struggles of normal working people and actually try to do something about it….don’t need to say anything about Rand Paul…he’s just crazy and way too thin skinned to be president…and he shows the entitled white guy attitude every time anyone questions him….people will tire of that quickly….anything else? Hmmmmm…nope, not right now….oh, Space X is going to try to land their booster again this aft around 4:30 if the weather cooperates…should be cool to see….
The republican response to their war on women…
Well…have just been reading about the new repub talking point that will try to distract voters from their war on women…a war that is clear from what they do, trying to restrict birth control access, trying insert the government into women’s healthcare decisions, and trying to charge women more for their insurance since they have “ladyparts” that are more complex than men’s parts and can cost their friends in the insurance industry more money for claims. But now, the new talking points are out and here is what they consist of: trying to say that the dems are really the ones who are pushing the war on women since Bill Clinton fooled around…yep…the false equivilency that they have been pushing in the media for years, that the haters and racists on the right are the same as the social justice folks on the left is now being rolled out to try to say that one man cheating is the same as an entire party who makes it their reason for being to restrict the rights of women. Just another bit of idiocy from one of the best idiots on the right, Rand Paul…I just can’t remember a more stupid thing to say in a long, long time…even with a bunch of these folks on the right trying hard to beat it every day…geez…
I find this so damn funny…
Well…as Christie won the governorship of NJ again on Tuesday, I find it funny that the knives have come out from the other potential ’16 candidates from the repubs already…both Rubio and Paul have attacked starting with the contention that Christie’s lopsided win has nothing to do with any future elections…basically saying that NJ is just NJ and the rest of the country just doesn’t care for Christie….and the second one I heard of today was that ole Paul, at a senate hearing the other day, laid into Christie’s use of some of the Sandy aid for commercials to get people to come back to the NJ shore to try to jumpstart tourism there because most of them had Christie in them; calling them a blatant waste of government money for personal political gain…this is where I really start to laugh since ole Paul was one of the drivers behind the gov’t shutdown that cost the country over 24 billion dollars…and, for what I can see, it was for Paul’s and Cruz’s personal political gain and fundraising, since there was never any chance of them getting Obamacare repealed. The more I listen to ole Paul, the more I think he is just another of the privileged repubs that were born on third base and think they hit a triple, and just can’t take it when his bad behavior is called out…like in the plagarism scandal…what a sorry piece of work who can’t even be bothered to do his own work…anywhere….geez…
Had to get to Rand Paul….
Well…after getting out to Kava I feel quite a bit better and might even be lucid enough to make some sense so I’m going to give it a try. I just have to comment on Rand Paul’s speech last night…where the true colors of the Tea Party have finally been allowed to come out. The gist of the speech was that Paul was going to personally block any legislation that he doesn’t like…no talk of moving the country forward, no talk of creating jobs, just a screed that stakes out the position that his vision is government of, by and for Rand Paul. If it wasn’t so dangerous, I would just laugh at this kind of thing…of the tea party’s supposed reverence for the Constitution until it get’s in the way of their radical right-wing agenda. I, for one, don’t want the senator from Kentucky setting the direction for this country, when he has stated his hatred for anything progressive…including the Civil rights act…Social Security, and basically anything that the government does. They want to go back to the days of child labor, industrial poisoning of workers, and sweatshops…the time that these nuts revere.
A thought came to me as I was mourning today…with Michigan going back to the bad old days of the repubs…that the Red Wings will still play, that it could have been worse and the Senate could have fallen, too. But, it didn’t and it may be a pretty interesting couple of years…and I know it’s going to give me a lot to write about and some of it is going to include “I told you so”, but I’m going to try to maintain the reasonableness that has been a goal…so, go about your lives…I’m going to try….more later…
Oh, one last thing, it made me feel good when I saw that the richies that tried to buy elections in many places generally failed to do it…especially in Cali where Meg Whitman lost after spending 140 million of her own dollars…and Carly Fiorina also lost…but the best news was that the know-nothings queen, Sharron Angle lost to Harry Reid in Nevada….silver linings in the cloud that now covers this country…
Okay, had to comment on Rand Paul….
Well…I guess this shows you where the tea-partiers are coming from once the skin is peeled away. Rand Paul, the Repub nominee for senate from Kentucky, in an interview with Rachael Maddow on her show, stated that the federal government has no place in halting workplace or public discrimination based on race. He feels that the marketplace would take care of those types of things; if someone discriminates based on race, gender etc. even in a public restaurant or any other business, that no one would patronize those businesses once the discrimination is revealed. What planet is this guy living on? What does he want next, the Klan coming back? The laws against discrimination were a response to people doing exactly what Paul says won’t happen. Then, to make his Republicanness even clearer, he comes out today criticizing Obama for leaning on BP after their negligence led to 11 people dying and the biggest environment disaster in decades; calling it “Un-American” to criticize them. He says that sometimes no one is to blame…that it was just an accident that is no one’s fault.
You remember what “Un-American” meant in the last Presidential election and what the crazy birthers are still apoplectic about.
Can you imagine an administration that completely defers to business and cuts them loose to do whatever they want with no regard for their responsibilities? Oh…we just had one of those…you remember…run by Ole GW…Geez…
