Well…I am just smirking a little about the trade war that the idiot trump started with China and the effect that it is going to have…a new study out yesterday by the Brookings Institute takes a look at those industries that the Chinese tariffs are going to affect, and guess what? Every damn one of them smacks trump voting areas hard…one hog farmer in Iowa ( a trump voter) is now “re-thinking” his vote since the tariffs are going to cost him over 30,000 dollars in lost profits and there are now 3,700 jobs at risk in his county alone. Now, I knew that trump voters were pretty damn dumb but I think this trade war serves them right…vote for a racist, stupid, reality show idiot just because you’re a racist, too, and this is what you get….loss of profit, loss of jobs, and the loss of the US’s standing in the world….how’s that MAGA working out for you now, idiots? Impeach…

Well…running a little late today and just can’t get started..and, I have been a little depressed…it may be that winter is still hanging on by it’s fingernails…the car is covered with snow again and I have to go out and clean it off in a few minutes so it will melt when the sun comes up….looks like another week of this cold, ugly weather so I guess I’ll just hunker down until then….I did get a ride in yesterday but won’t get out today…once I got over having to put on the full thermasuit again, it was an okay day on the bike….slept okay last night and don’t feel that badly today…worked on getting my back to crack yesterday and I think it is okay today…so far, that is….didn’t get much done yesterday but I will clean some today….it looks like my upstairs neighbors moved out and I never saw them pack….that is kind of weird since I’m here all the time…not much to do today…just going to veg it out and watch a little soccer this afternoon….more later….
Mr. Destructo….
Well…if you have been watching the antics of Mr. Destructo…aka the idiot trump, you’ve seen that he has been in a twitter feud with Jeff Bezos over some truthful coverage of the idiot in the Washington Post which Bezos owns, and the idiot has taken to trying to punish Bezos by threatening actions against Amazon…which have resulted in Amazon losing over 50 billion dollars in valuation as it’s stock has fallen. Now, none of the things that idiot boy has spouted off about, like renegotiating the Post Office’s contract to deliver for Amazon, and some nonsense about Amazon not paying enough taxes (which the repubs are responsible for with their tax cut for corporations) can be done, but to threaten a public company with government retaliation for publishing a story the idiot doesn’t like is pure impeachable offense…if the repubs would just do something about it. Who does that 50 billion loss in evaluation hurt? Basically anyone who has an IRA or 401K….you know, working people who the idiot was supposed to protect…and bought into his propaganda that he was a “great businessman”…when the reality is that he has failed at everything he has ever tried and has been bailed out every time by the Russians or the mob. What needs to happen right now is a lawsuit by some investor who has lost money by Amazon’s stock decline….it would be really easy to prove cause and effect of the idiot’s attacks and the stock price decline…and it would put just a little more pressure on Mr. Destructo and maybe we’ll see him blow…hope so….impeach….
A couple of thoughts…
Well….yeah, I know….no political one yet today but I had a thought that I wanted to share…how do you forget how to use something that you’ve used for 15 years? Let me explain….I have been having problems getting the hose on my little air compressor to seal on the bike tires for a couple of months now and I had even been looking for another one to replace it since I thought the attachment was worn out….but yesterday, while I was airing up the tires on the car in a spring ritual that I do every year when I switch them, it sealed perfectly fine without putting any extra pressure when I attached it…so, when I finished that up, I tried putting it on the bike tires and it sealed up perfectly fine….so, how could I have forgotten how to use the thing after using it for 15 years? Not sure but it was nice to figure it out….oh, the second thought…I wonder why my t-shirts always fail in the right arm? I have a bunch of them with the same hole….it’s popped into my head that my sweat is like the blood from the beast in “Alien”….acid that eats through anything…..yeah, you know I’m weird….
I have a question….
Well….with almost all of the snow gone on the trails, I have a question that popped into my head yesterday…with all of the people out there walking their dogs, and some of them even cleaning up after them…why would they do that and then just leave the bag either on the trail or next to it? I noticed that a couple of days ago…that there are many, many abandoned bags out there and I wonder why they would pick up the waste and then not put it in the trash? After all, there are trash cans along the trail just for that purpose….and the waste would break down easier if they just left it… have always wondered why they pick the stuff up when it is in the grass….hmmm….oh, well…..
April 3rd
Well…running a little early today and I am getting tired of getting up so damn early….one of these days I’m really going to sleep in at least until 7….or even 8…that would be nice…slept okay last night and I don’t feel that badly today other than I’m sore almost everywhere…probably from the long bike ride yesterday….not sure if I’m going to go out today with the temps dropping all day and that will put me into full thermasuit if I go….or I can just wait until it gets warm enough in about a week or so….not sure if I can do that…didn’t get much done yesterday but, if I don’t ride today, I’ll have to do something so I don’t feel guilty….I did get the shower cleaned yesterday so the rest of the bathroom shouldn’t take long….more later….
Boycott WWMT channel three…
Well…with the FCC not doing it’s duty to ensure that news isn’t turned into propaganda, that is exactly what has happened with a company called Sinclair. This company has been buying up tv stations across the country and has been turning them into trump propaganda machines by forcing local anchors to read from the “fake news” script and lie to the people they are supposed to serve. We have one of those stations here in West Michigan, WWMT, or channel three from Kalamazoo that is joining in…so, what we need to do is hit them where it hurts, in the pocketbook by boycotting this un-American company that is doing Russia’s work in undermining our democracy…and the person who wrote the script that the news anchors are forced to read used to work for the Russian propaganda channel RT…that should be enough for anyone who wants to help protect this country…boycott….
This is so ironic…
Well…as we all know, Jeff Sessions is a liar….he constantly lied about his contacts with the Russians during the campaign, and he also lied about the meeting where Papadopoulos told him that he could set up a meeting with the Russians and Sessions lied that he “pushed back” on the whole idea. Remember that the investigation into trump’s conspiracy with the Russians started when Papadopoulos got drunk in a London bar and told an Australian diplomat that the Russians had “dirt” on Hillary in the form of thousands of e-mails…and, in an ironic twist, the same thing happened with Papadopoulos this past Friday night in Chicago….where he was out drinking with his wife and revealed to a stranger that “Sessions encouraged him” to find out anything he could about the hacked e-mails that a Russian operative had mentioned to Papadopoulos. This means that Sessions is still lying to everyone and that Mueller knows about it…how does that feel, Jeffey? Next stop…federal prison for perjury and for lying to congress….couldn’t happen to a bigger hypocrite….
April 2nd
Well…up early again today and I’m sure I don’t like it….it just gets me started too soon and then I have to try to fill time until the temp comes up enough to ride the bike…I probably should just write this week off with it going to be so cold all week and just hunker down and survive it….slept okay last night but still feel a little off today but I’m not sure if it’s the bug or not…will probably have to wait a while to see how bad it’s going to be…didn’t get much done yesterday but a little cleaning and I’m not planning on doing much today…have an errand to run and Michigan plays later but I wonder why they have to start the game so late….probably won’t get through it but I think I’ll try…I’m hoping my back will reset itself sometime today…it has been pretty painful the past couple of days and that is annoying…more later…..
Think I’ve figured it out….
Well….as you can see from the last part of the last one, I’m trying to figure out why my brain is not working as well as it should be and I think I’ve figured it out….not, it’s not that I’m getting old…although I am…in the past hour I’ve started to feel really warm and have also started coughing so I think it’s a bug….have been really lucky this year so far with not being sick hardly at all and certainly not having the flu…but, I just read somewhere yesterday that there is another flu resurgence that is happening now here in Michigan….sure hope that is not what this is….but, I do feel kinda crappy so I guess we’ll see where this goes….
