Well…if you have seen the news lately, almost every damn story is about inflation and we see the repubs incessantly blaming Biden for it and the pundits wailing that it will be the end of the dems……but, a new report out today shows inflation up by about the same amount the last month everywhere it was measured…Europe, Asia, Australia, and everywhere else shows the same percentage…so I guess Joe Biden controls the entire world’s economy now…and I’ll bet that would be a surprise to the rest of the world’s leaders. Look, with the pandemic and the similar way it has been dealt with around the world, of course inflation is going to be similar…as the rise in oil prices driven by Saudi Arabia effects every country that buys oil and the supply chain bottlenecks also effect every country…so, again, we see the repubs lying their asses off again for political gain and to smear Biden since they have no truth to do it with…but the lapdog press just keeps reporting these repub talking points, giving them a free way to attack Biden and I am tired of it…geez…

They lied about unemployment, too….
Well…I’m sure you’ve heard all of the stories pushed by the repubs in the spring and summer the the “generous” unemployment benefits of 300 dollars a week were keeping the lazy workers from looking for work and there was a “labor shortage” because of it…never mind that employers that started caring about their workers and raised what they paid were swamped with applicants…the only shortage appears to be with employers who want cheap labor for their jobs that doesn’t pay enough to live on. With the reporting on the jobs reports that repubs said would be enormous after cutting of the unemployment benefits, and it wasn’t, we really do see that they were lying about why people weren’t going back to the crappy jobs with low pay and benefits….and that cutting unemployment was no incentive to work when people are still worried about the pandemic or child care, or the health problems that makes it dangerous for some unemployed to go back to work for employers who do nothing to protect them. Just like everything in economics, the repubs don’t care about facts, especially when it gets in the way of their preferred lies that they use to hurt people every day….so I wonder what the new lie is going to be? We’ll see tomorrow….geez…
They’re just not serious…
Well…with all of the talk of “bipartisanship” in trying to get an infrastructure renewal bill through the senate, you just have to look at the repub proposal to see they are not serious…almost 3 times smaller that what the dems have proposed and and with a hard no on any increase in revenue…so that means that any money spent on the serious problems we have in this country will have to be offset by cuts to other programs that are already operating at severely reduced levels….and they go on to whine about the tax increases on the rich and corporations that the dems propose to pay for their bill lying that it will mean a loss of the jobs created by their tax cuts when every damn study has concluded that the only thing the tax cuts did was make the rich richer and allow corporations to buy back their stock…no damn jobs created at all. They all know that and yet they keep lying and lying…another reason why their proposal is just not serious…but the modern repub party doesn’t operate on facts or the truth as evidenced by the hundreds of voter suppression laws based on the big lie of voter fraud that just doesn’t exist….and now an infrastructure proposal that they think is “enough” is based on hypocrisy…they never asked to pay for trump’s huge tax cuts for the rich but now it is their reason for being….I say leave them behind and fix this country without them…after all, 70% of the country support Biden’s proposal and want it passed…even 50% of repubs want it done…so do it…
Don’t let them take credit….
Well….after the passage of the wildly popular covid relief bill yesterday, without one repub vote in either the House or Senate, we need to make sure that the repubs don’t use the bill to lie to the American people…after all, they did nothing to pass it or to give input on what should be in it other than say that tax cuts for the rich should have been included. Just yesterday, the bullshit started with a repub senator touting the help the bill would give to small businesses when he voted no on the bill and he made it look like he was part of the approval and was taking credit for it…just another lie that flows from the mouths of repubs as easily as they breathe. So far, the rest of the repubs have been uncharacteristically silent on the bill since even they can see that going against the most popular bill in 40 years is not the smartest thing to do but the flip side of that is that our side needs to shout it that the repubs didn’t have anything do with by their own choice, they were not shut out of the negotiations by the bad old dems, they chose bad faith amendments that would gut the bill and prevent the American people from getting the help they need to survive this pandemic…again I ask this question: with more than 70% support of the bill, who are the repubs representing? This bill is the most progressive one in my lifetime and really does help most of the American people and make their lives easier and is the difference between us and the repubs…all they do is hurt people and try to restrict participation by voter suppression and the hate they level on anyone who is not a white christian is the purpose of their party…I hope Americans understand that there is only one party that cares about them…and it is not the repubs…
The lies and propaganda start…
Well…after the stirring and devastating presentation by the House managers in the idiot trump’s senate trial that showed in clear and ugly detail how idiot boy and his minions blackmailed Ukraine and then covered it up through preventing the House investigators from getting the witnesses who were in the room when these crimes were committed…and if you didn’t watch any of it, you DO need to go out and find Adam Schiff’s closing argument where he made it clear that the stakes in this trial are nothing less than the survival of our country….and that the repubs are all co-conspirators to this coverup since they will not look at the evidence and are going to acquit trump no matter what the truth is. And today, trump’s minions started their lie filled propaganda presentation in the senate, going back to the debunked conspiracy theories and completely ignoring the obstruction of congress charges that there is no defense from…instead pushing the lie that the president can do whatever he wants with foreign aid even though the GAO has said that trump and his cronies broke the law by withholding the Ukraine aid. So, should you watch this travesty? Either this or fox news, it’s all the same….
