Well…the repubs are really just a bunch of chickens who don’t want to be held responsible for anything they do…and just today the house speaker, jesus johnson, adjourned the house until after the election using some bullshit excuse that the repubs needed to go back to their districts to campaign…and that was a lie…he did it to avoid a vote on the articles of impeachment filed by repub rep massie against the drunk sec of def hegseth that would have had to be voted on by the end of Thursday’s session and he didn’t want to have repubs vote against it so it could be used in political ads…there is another reason and that is that he thinks that enough repubs would vote for it that there would be an impeachment investigation in the house that the idiot trump has told him can’t happen…how’s that for a co-equal branch of government eh, johnson? He always folds like a house of cards any time idiot boy pushes on him and he is the worst speaker in the history of the house…not a damn thing done to help the people of this country in 2 years but he jammed through tax cuts for the rich just fine…what a piece of crap..
Have to go back to the library…
Well…darn…went to the library this morning and it sucks that 2 out of the 3 books I checked out I’ve read already and that’s the problem with reading so much…I’m running out of new books to read and I’ll have to back tomorrow to get more…going to be on planes for almost 20 hours in the next 2 weeks so I need at least 2 books to keep me busy…I know I can sleep on the way over to Italy and back but I don’t sleep so I can’t count on that…oh, well…I did take the car out to the library and DD today and I can’t believe how much better the transmission is starting to get…even from cold it works better now than it did before I changed the oil…and it is supposed to get better as time goes on..can’t wait til it gets cold to see how it works…it has to be better than it was with barely being able to get it into 1st and having to warm the car up before I could drive it…worth the 65 bucks I paid for the oil…I did try to get everything into the suitcase and it all fits with just a little squishing so I’m good to go Friday…I did finally hit the balance goal in my checking account today so I can afford to pay for my trip and I’ll still be in good shape financially…I told the librarian that I was going to Italy this week and he said not to worry about when the books are due…to just bring them back when I have time after I get back…that’s some small town stuff there and it made me feel good…I do like living here…most of the time…oh, I did try the cascade effect on my rear bike light today and it’s pretty cool…nothing like just flashing and I just sat there watching it at the beach water stop…okay, time to read a bit before tv…
Is kash patel always drunk?
Well…not sure if you caught it or not, but the FBI director was at the senate yesterday after many senators were curious to why he has been lowering the standards for FBI agents to be hired…with the latest being that if you stole from your employer…perfectly fine…but the one that was the center of the hearing was that now ole kash has removed beastiality as a disqualifying factor for potential agents…and his logic was so stupid that one of the senators asked if he was drunk..this moron said that he was removing beastiality “from either side” so he could be fair to applicants…so now goat fuckers are just okay but what about the other side he spoke about…does that mean that getting screwed by a human won’t disqualify a goat from being hired? With that even the repubs were trying to figure out what the hell he was talking about…and it showed even more that this idiot is in way over his head and has no clue what he’s doing…oh, and they also asked why his girlfriend was getting escorted by 9 agent everywhere she goes…and he went on and on about danger or some such nonsense…so 9 agents at at least 300 dollars a day each…no it’s more than that since agents make 130 K a year so lets bump that to 750 dollars a day each so that is almost 7K a day and that doesn’t include the three vehicles at least that they would need…so let’s round that to 10K a day…each and every day…how does that make you feel, maga…you can’t afford to put food on your table and this asshole is burning 10K a day just so his girlfriend isn’t scared….geez…
All graft, all the time…
Well…isn’t a little suspicious that one of the idiot trump’s “closest advisors” got his wedding paid for by a criminal Russian oligarch? Yeah, I’m talking about don jr. and his wedding last week…where this Russian rented an entire island for the 50 people who were to attend the wedding…and to go to this travesty, every guest had to sign an NDA to not reveal anything that went on…and as little donnie tried to spin this huge piece of influence peddling graft, he let it slip that this criminal oligarch is one of his “best friends”…now who’s “pallin around with terrorists”? This guy is part of putin’s inner circle and is part of the influence operation that putin has been running on the US for decades as revealed in David Corn’s new book that shows that the idiot trump and repubs have been “useful idiots” that putin has used to damage the US and destroy our influence in the world…and putin could not have found a more useful idiot in trump…he is the dumbest damn person in this country that putin manipulates on a daily basis to get what he wants…thanks maga…geez…
September 16th
Well…running about on time again today with getting up at around 5am and it’s nothing worth noting…still having a hard time getting started and it will be a struggle to get on the bike by 6am along with doing the weight work…I did figure out the timer for the lamp yesterday so it will appear like someone is here…and that is a little iffy since they won’t see me here at all and I’m always moving around…get to use the light on the bike today and I am a little geeked about that…I did have the chain jam on the front sprocket a couple of days ago and I’m not sure how that happened…overshifting that pushed the chain over the big sprocket and between the sprocket and the guard…but it rode okay yesterday so I think it’s fixed with no damage…I do have everything ready to be packed and I am going to try to put everything in the suitcase today to see if I have to make decisions on what to leave out…taking a light fleece and a jacket since it’s supposed to be cool in Venice which is the first place we’re going…can’t wait to see it and be a tourist…have to charge up the battery box to put in the trunk along with the tire patching kit I bought just in case…it is a little strange to be able to sit the car for weeks and have it start but I’m not taking any chances…so, I need to get my butt moving to get the rides in before I go to the library for trip books…more later…
Done packing…
Well…damn, didn’t think I’d be done with packing three days early but there it is…I still have to put all the bags in the suitcase and lock it up and charge a few things but I’m basically done…just did the last load of laundry to get my light fleece and a jacket clean to pack…I am going to do a trial pack tomorrow to make sure I can get everything in the suitcase and I think it will be tight but doable…packing for 16 days in one suitcase is not easy and I may have overpacked a bit but if I have room, I always feel better to have everything I need…I did get out to do an outside ride after riding one indoors and I sprinted the whole 15 miles to make up for only doing 23 miles today…will be out in the dark again tomorrow so I can use my light and I think it’s cool that I can go anytime I want now without waiting for it to get light…with the rain we had and what’s coming, I went out and planted some grass seed to see if I can grow some in the bare spots in the lawn…I will be curious to see that when I get back…sure hope my ballot comes while I’m gone so I don’t have to screw with that…I may even have a cocktail tonight as I relax but I’m not sure of that yet…time to read a bit…
The baby is crying today…
Well…just a short one on the instant whining from idiot boy when the SC took away his toy of using the USPS to ruin this fall’s election…and the crybaby went on and on with his failing stupid social media calling the justices “pressured by radical dems” to make the ruling…ha,ha…
Another case of making up new laws…
Well…I know a lot of pundits are saying that the SC ruling that the USPS can’t implement it voter suppression scheme led by the idiot trump is a good thing but they need to look at the reasons they ruled that way…not that the constitution expressly sets that the states control elections and that there is no role at all for the federal government…no, their whole ruling hangs on the fact that it is too close to the election to make changes now but Alito and Thomas really want the feds to get involved in elections and even Kavanaugh and Roberts, who voted with the liberal justices to stop it didn’t make the clear ruling that the constitution forbids the feds getting involved but weasled out and left the door open for idiot boy to interfere in the next election by writing a new constitutional role for the federal government that is not in the constitution at all…just like they have made up free speech for corporations in Citizens United and again made up immunity for the idiot trump that again is not in the constitution…and we know why alito and thomas want the dems to lose this fall…they are the most corrupt justices in the history of the court…and let’s add roberts to that, too…I mean how do you get to afford to buy a private island on a 200K salary a year? Or have a 500K debt magically disappear like Kavanaugh’s did after he was confirmed? I know the conservatives on the court are scared of the dems winning this fall since SC “reform” is at the top of our agenda and they know the gravy train is going to end if we win…but, I guess I’ll take this CYA ruling for now but when we win, this bullshit has to stop…geez…
September 15th
Well…it’s raining out there so I need to decide if I’m going to do a ride indoors or try to wait the rain out and go outside later…probably do an indoor ride to keep my streak going for these last 4 days before I fly out…so that gives me time to sit here and do this and have lots of coffee…out of bed at 5:10 again today but I feel okay so I can live with that…had an okay day yesterday but didn’t get anything done but try to clear out the food so I don’t have anything to spoil when I’m gone…and I’m having problems with the timer for the living room light…it shut off fine but isn’t turning on…so I may have to use one of the other timer days to see if it works…it has 20 different ones so I can keep trying…still need to continue to pack today and should finish that up tomorrow…have one more load of laundry to de before that and I need to wash the fleeces since Venice is supposed to be cool when we’re there so I’ll need layers to be comfortable…and we are taking a boat ride to one of the islands there so that should be cool too…going to mow the lawn Thursday to make sure it won’t overgrow while I’m gone and I think I’ll still get the last ride in Friday morning since I don’t fly out til 3:20 in the afternoon…going to pour another cup of coffee and have a bagel before I do the weight work and then get on the indoor bike…looks like the rain is backed up through Illinois so it will be raining a bit….more later…
He does stink in more ways than one…
Well…just a shorty on a humorous article I saw this morning about the idiot trump and the Irish PM…after they met yesterday she admitted to an aide that she kept her distance from idiot boy because he “smelled like feces” and she couldn’t get away from it…and you could see it on her face in the photos of she and the idiot as she tried to get as far away on the couch they were sitting on…this just made me laugh out loud…I hope Natalie had an extra load of diapers in her purse for that one…and the press made fun of Biden because he misspoke at times? How do you feel about that maga? Your god king shitting his pants in front of a real world leader…and it’s not the first time…geez…
