Well….as the Iran deal that the idiot and his ignorant minions negotiated is being roundly panned as a “surrender” by the US…Macron of France did something that was such an epic bit of trolling of trump and his minions who hate history that I had to laugh out loud…the venue for the signing the surrender document was the palace of Versailles and I know that the world understands the significance of Versailles in ending WWI when the Germans signed the unconditional surrender documents there…and you could see Macron grinning in the background as the idiot trump signed the papers with lil marco standing beside him…how much more trolling could you ever get? This just shows that the world is fed up with the idiot and has no respect for him at all…would this ever have happened to Obama? Never in a million years and I would have loved to be within ketchup range when someone explained this to idiot boy like the toddler he is…he is getting laughed at and his lies are getting called out loudly…as when he lied about the Italian premier “begging” him to have a photo taken with him at the G7 meeting..she came out and blasted trump for being the liar he is and said that “Italians never beg” while she cancelled a trip of her second in command to economic talks in the US…this is how you deal with this lunatic and I’m glad the entire world has had enough…geez…
June 20th
Well…how the heck can I be running late at 6:15am? But I am…normally I have this done already and I’m putting sunscreen on to get ready for the bike but not today…so I need to haul butt and get going…I did get 3 windows in the kitchen cleaned yesterday but my poor planning is going to keep me from doing more til Monday…didn’t look to see how much ammonia I had and only had enough to do one batch of windows and blinds and I’m not going to Meijers on the weekend…but it is nice to have those windows cleaned since they are the ones that I let light in when I get up in the morning…didn’t sleep much last night but the coffee is pouring down quickly so I think I can cope with it…and I made more coffee this morning to ensure I have enough to take a cup on the 2nd ride…I did break out the new earbuds that I’ve had in the drawer for almost a year now since I thought the old ones were going to fail but never did…but the sheath on the wires was falling apart and looked pretty shabby so I set the equalizer in the mp3 player to match them and they sound good…and the old pair lasted years so I may just buy another set for a spare…not much to do today…I am going to continue cleaning the kitchen today and I don’t need to cook so it will be an easy day after the rides…more later…
Got some work done…
Well…having been a slug for too long so getting some work done was necessary today…and I did…got the kitchen windows torn apart and cleaned along with the blinds on them…and now I only have 8 more to do…I did get two rides in today since the weather was much nicer than yesterday and saw a freighter I’ve never seen just cruising down Muskegon Lake and I still think that’s cool to have huge freighters in downtown Muskegon…still need to do the weight work and I’ll get to that right after I’m done with this…the US is playing it’s 2nd game against Australia right now so I’ll be watching that for a while at least…it looks like it’s going to rain again tonight but not much and then no rain for at least 10 days so the lawn goes away again…oh, well…okay, want to watch the game and get the work done…1-0 US 10 minutes in…yay!
It’s a war crime…
Well…when the idiot trump started bombing Iran, one of the places that was hit was a town of Minab and a school there where 170 children and teachers were killed…and trump and his minions keep on saying it was an “accident” and that those kinds of things happen in war…but I have a question…if this was an “accident” why was there a 2nd strike on the school 40 minutes later when the parents were digging through the rubble looking for their children? One answer is that most of the kids were children of military parents whose unit was responsible for closing the strait of Hormuz and the idiot trump and his cronies knew that…and the double tap 40 minutes after the children were killed only purpose was to kill the parents, too and that is a war crime as was targeting a school…this is how war criminals act and I truly hope these assholes end up in the Hague on trial for doing this in the name of Americans…they all knew what they were doing and it was murder plain and simple and these assholes need to be held accountable…geez…
I just noticed
Well…as I was getting to the wake up post here, I noticed that I’ve gone over 14,000 posts since I started this thing years ago and I’m not sure if that’s an accomplishment or just habit and I wonder how many hours it’s taken me to get here? I do know that when my site was down, I really missed coming here and doing this…and, while I like Mastodon and the friends I have there, my self limitation of no politics there left me with no outlet for my outrage on the state of this country…and I really need that to defuse it so it doesn’t pollute my day…so, to my readers who come here every day, thank you…and I’ll try to keep it up…
June 19th
Well…not out of bed til 5:30 this morning and I think that’s because I just didn’t get up until I saw the light starting to come through my bedroom window…tossed and turned a bunch but didn’t give up and I’m rewarded by feeling okay this morning…it looks calm out there today and it’s going to be sunny and with it already 60, the rides should be good today and I’ll be out before 7…made the first whole bean coffee in a while today and even though I can’t taste much, I can tell the difference and it tastes good…and I’ll keep looking for affordable stuff on amazon and try to buy more…I have been enjoying the world cup and the USA plays Australia this afternoon and I’m hoping it’s a good match…if we win, it’s on to the knockout round and we win the group…not sure if we’ve ever done that before…made chicken stir fry yesterday that will last me til next week so that pushes the pork shoulder back til Monday or so and I can live with that…I am going to start on the windows today and at least get the ones in the kitchen done along with scrubbing the blinds in there…and I may as well get the rest of the cleaning done, too, so that will be a couple of hours of work and one thing off my list…more later…
Another trump failure…
Well…how many more failures does idiot boy have to have before the entire country rejects his ass? The latest from this “great businessman” was the repainting of the reflecting pool in DC to get rid of the algae that was floating on it…this was supposed to be a 1.2 million dollar job that he gave to one of his cronies and the cost ballooned to over 12 million dollars…yeah, this was just another way for idiot boy to steal money for his cronies that I’m sure he got a kickback from…and here’s the kicker…3 days after the pool was refilled the paint this incompetent used is now flaking off in square foot sized chunks…and almost the entire surface is covered in algae…10 times as bad as it was before this grift…as always, everything trump touches turns to shit…and we pay for it…geez…
Bailed on the rides today…
Well…damn, I feel like a slug today after bailing on the 2nd ride this morning…got the first one done in the cold at 53 with a north wind of 25mph…a struggle but I gutted through it…and I filled my coffee cup and got back on the bike and got out about half way and it started to rain and that was the last straw…I could take the cold and the wind but I just couldn’t get wet…I still did some but it wasn’t running off me like it has in the past…reminded me I used to be tougher when I was younger…I remember being out in November at 37 degrees and it started raining so hard that I could only see about 20 feet in front of me and, by the time I got home after about 4 miles, I had to pour the rain out of my shoes I was so wet…giving up won’t happen again…I’ll put my raingear on and go anyway just to prove to myself I can still take it…so it’s been an easy day today but I did run out to aldis to get the veggies I need for the pork shoulder I’m making this weekend…made chicken stir fry today that will last 5 days or so and I baked a couple of breasts so I can have a 2nd meal of sandwiches I can eat..now it’s time to read a bit…
Biggest surrender in US history..
Well…as the details of the idiot trump’s “deal” with Iran come out, it is clear that it is the biggest surrender in US history…and that’s what happens when you have a moron who knows nothing in charge of negotiating…I talked about this the other day and said just what everyone is saying today…that this is a defeat of the US plain and simple…Iran got everything they wanted and more and the only thing idiot boy got was to stop talking about Iran so he could lie and say it was a success…I mean, bomb the heck out of Iran and then give them 300 billion dollars to rebuild all the damage? But this really isn’t a defeat of the US, it is a defeat of idiot boy personally…and it was done by the Iranians using trained psychologists to look at trump’s damaged personality and figure out ways to flatter and manipulate him to get what they wanted…and now the Iranians are laughing all the way to the bank…this is one reason why idiot boy is such a failure at everything he does…he does have a damaged personality to actually sign this piece of crap deal…and this should but at the top of the impeachments he is going to face next year along with the 30 or 40 other offenses he should be impeached for…geez…
Losing their insurance…
Well…have been reading a lot about people in this country who have had to cancel their health insurance through the ACA since the repubs cut premium subsidies…with the subsidies, many families were able to get a good healthcare plan for under 100 bucks a month…but after the repubs cut them, 500 bucks a month is a low price for the same plan and there is no way most people can afford that…after all, surveys have found that almost 60% of Americans have less than 60 bucks in savings so these increases can’t be absorbed…I feel bad for these people and have been fortunate to have health insurance for most of my life other than the 12 years or so that I was unemployed and looking for work as an overqualified old person that no one would hire…so getting to the age I qualified for Medicare was such a relief and it still is to this day when the most out of pocket I would be for a year is under 5,000 bucks…and I have been frugal my entire life so SS supports me quite well…but, what about the people who are working their asses off and can’t afford health insurance? The repubs say “tough shit” and tell them to get a 2nd or 3rd job to pay for health insurance…and if you think there is no difference between the political parties, just look who passed the ACA in the first place…not one damn repub cared enough about the American people to vote for it but the dems passed it and 25 million people had heath insurance until the repubs took it away…Medicare for all…geez…
