Well…if you needed more reason to vote for Joe in the fall than all of the good stuff he’s gotten done, just think about the damage the idiot trump has done to the courts and the resulting damage to our democracy….for the first time in history, the supreme court has taken rights away from US citizens and it’s all because of the corrupt justices that idiot boy put on the bench…and just this week they were up to the same corrupt antics again when the conservatives voted that the states couldn’t enforce the 14th amendment by keeping the criminal in chief off the ballot after he led the insurrection on January 6th…that amendment is plain and was used to keep hundreds of confederates from running for office and yet this supreme court ignored precedent, as they always do, making trump more equal than anyone else…so if you want that fixed, vote for dems up and down the ballot so we can take back the house, keep the senate and return one of the most effective presidents in the last 100 years to the WH…it’s up to us to save this country…so vote…geez…

We could win this fall….
Well…the general consensus is that the president’s party loses seats in the midterm election in normal years…but this is is far from normal and the polls are showing some surprising changes that none of the pundits saw coming…and those changes can be seen in the vote in Kansas Tuesday where almost 70% of voters turned out to ensure that women’s rights were not destroyed by the repub majority…and the overall turnout was higher than any midterm in history….and that is all we need to keep the senate and house…turnout of our side since there are a lot more of us than there are of them. In three senate races, our side is ahead and if that holds, we end up with a Manchin proof majority in the senate where we can expand the supreme court to make Alito and his other liar colleagues shut the hell up…and prevent them from doing any more damage. So, folks…get out and vote, that’s all we need to do to make sure the adults are running this country and we can have nice things again…and the rich assholes start paying their fair share of taxes….so vote…vote…vote…
Dropped my ballot off….
Well…I’m finding it pretty darn hard to just sit here and do nothing while I wait for the temp to come up enough to get out on the bike in shorts…so, I decided to take a quick trip over to the Leonard street library to drop my ballot off and complete my voting for the election in November. It was a little more work doing the research for the non-partisan part of the ballot than normal since the GR press doesn’t do a voter’s guide anymore and the Mlive site that is supposed to replace it won’t let you access it if you have an ad blocker on and I won’t look at the damn ads and pop ups they try to force you to see….but, I did find the information in other places so no big deal. I think it’s really cool that they have a way to circumvent the post office with all of the damage that trump’s cronies have done to it…and look, voting frickin counts…if we had a repub SOS, there wouldn’t be any drop boxes anywhere in the state or just a few….just like the governor of Texas who decreed that there is only going to be one drop box for every county, a voter suppression method that shows clearly that the repubs will do anything to make sure people can’t vote…and that is because when we vote, we win…so, vote…
Got my ballot…
Well…in a nice surprise, my ballot for the November election came in the mail yesterday….I am a little excited about getting it filled out and dropped back off but I’m not sure where yet…there are drop boxes right over on Leonard but with the assholes that infest the repub party these days, I wouldn’t put it past them to pour gasoline in the boxes to make sure the ballots can’t be counted. So, I think I may just take a ride downtown and drop it off at the city clerks office in person so no one can screw with it. Okay…that may be hyperbole..a little…look, you have heard me plead with people to get out to vote…and with how easy Michigan has made it with dems in control of the SOS’s office, there really isn’t any reason to not vote…and if you’re here reading this…you probably hate the idiot trump with the white hot passion that I do, and there is still time to get an absentee ballot if you don’t want to vote in person…but damn, you need to vote…just in this election…just this one…this one will determine the fate of this country and everyone should do what they can to save it….and that is NOT hyperbole…please vote….
What a pathetic little man…
Well…as the idiot trump tries to use his go to racism to get re-elected, that pathetic little man has now attacked Bubba Wallace in a tweet calling the noose incident in the garage area a “hoax” and screeching that Bubba should apologize for his part in getting rid of the confederate traitors flag from nascar events and for elevating the idea that black lives do matter in the nascar community. Look, there are people giving trump a pass today on this racist piece of crap he spewed out of his twitter hole but I won’t…he knew exactly what he was doing…playing to his dwindling racist base and trying to use the bullshit tactics that helped putin install him. Let’s get the facts straight here….Bubba didn’t find or report the noose, that information was brought to him by nascar management and it was nascar management who called in the FBI, Bubba had nothing to do with it and not once did he do anything to exacerbate the problem…and nascar made the decision to ban the traitor’s flag not Bubba, in response to their recognition that nascar had a racism problem. I think the idiot trump is just going nuts because he had lots of support from the brass at nascar back in 2016 and that support has evaporated as it becomes widely known that he is an incompetent racist who is responsible for the deaths of over 100,000 Americans by his abdication of his responsibilities to go and play golf and have hate rallies. If any other *president had attacked a private citizen this way the calls for his resignation would have shaken the roof of congress…but the repubs give this moron a pass on all of his egregious behavior…but the voters won’t…tick tock…
Not this time…
Well…with Joe Biden’s performance in the primaries held yesterday, his path to the nominations seems assured and all of us who had another candidate as our primary need to mourn a little, but then step back and look at the big picture…and that has to be getting behind our ticket to beat trump and his cronies and fumigate our government of him, moscow mitch, and the rest of these amoral, hypocrite assholes once and for all…and we can’t let the Russian misinformation, lies and bullshit affect our determination to throw trump out on his ass. If you remember 2016…the Russian backed ‘independent” candidate Jill Stein took enough “protest” votes from our side to give trump the election…and we all need to think, not this time. No more purity votes, no protest votes, no holding our nose votes, but votes for our side that will end the trump national nightmare that we have been living through for the past 3 1/2 years…I know I harp on this a lot, but this is the most important thing that any of you are going to do maybe in your lifetime…I mean isn’t saving our country worth voting for the one person who can do it? That person is our candidate…and there are going to be a group of happy people on our side when the VP slot is offered to another one of our great candidates…so, cry a little but then let’s get back to work and frickin vote….
Back to politics…
Well…just got back from a quick run up to the hospital and now it’s time to get back to politics after a few days off…I’m not sure why there is so much hand wringing on our side about the “electability” of our candidates with one being too far to the left, one being to centrist, two being women (yep, that’s still a thing) and one being a real billionaire…but I think the task for our side is far simpler than anyone makes it out to be…and it is something that I’ve said here many, many times…when we vote, we win. We just need to turn out our voters and make sure they understand that of any election in the country’s history, this is one that no one on our side can sit out…and that should be our focus…turning our our voters and convincing them that no matter who the nominee is, we need to get behind them…no protest votes for a Jill Stein that gave us the idiot trump…even if you may not like Bernie, Liz, Amy, or Pete or they are not “your” nominee, you need to suck it up and still vote our side and not just the top of the ticket…we need our voters to get off their butts and vote for our side all the way down the ticket…we need to protect Gary Peters for senate here in Michigan and we need to continue to make gains in the state senate and house and we need to protect our majority in the House…we need to make every damn one of the repubs pay for their protection of the criminal trump and his cronies…and with moscow mitch destroying the senate more and more every day, we need to take that back to start the cleanup that we have to do every damn time we follow the repubs stupidity. Just vote…pretty damn simple, huh? Just frickin vote….
Let’s get pissed off….
Well…you would think that the “law and order” repubs, at least one of them would have voted to hear the evidence against the criminal trump…but, even the naive of us who still believe in the inherent goodness of people have been surprised by the overt corruption of the Mcconnell senate and the fact that not one of them other than the ones who have been given permission by moscow mitch have voted to uphold the law and remove the most corrupt president in the history of this country. But, we knew this didn’t we? We have known for some time now that the repubs are all corrupt criminals and we have been wringing our hands about how they are shredding the constitution and feeling pretty bad about the destruction of our democracy…but, what good will that do? What we need to do it get pissed off about it…since the only thing the criminal repubs have left us after their craven display is the election this fall…and the only way we can fix what they have destroyed is to get pissed, get to work, and make sure that we all vote every damn one of them out of office…and that means you Bernie bros, and Biden supporters, and Warrenites…once the candidate is selected, we all need to put aside our differences and pull with all our might for our candidate…and that means money, too…I’m even going to donate money that I can’t afford to help…and we need to support Gary Peters for his re-election to the senate here in Michigan…and we need to make sure every damn repub senator has his or her vote tied around their necks and will pay for their role in allowing trump to continue to break the law….and we need to welcome anyone that wants to be part of saving this country…liberal, conservative, independent, young, old, suburban, country, urban…every damn person that is part of the 80% who want this whitewash in the senate stopped and the rule of law restored….now is the time to get pissed and get going…as the founders said, protecting democracy is hard work and it’s our responsibility as a people to do…let’s go…
