Well…I’m getting tired of talking about how much ole Trump lies, so I’m not going to talk about that much more…just one little thing that I read this morning…in a deposition, under oath, that took about two hours….it was verified that the Trumpster lied 30 times…yep, 30 times in two hours! Now, take a look at your own day, do you lie more than 30 times for the entire day? The entire month? Didn’t think so….so why would any foreign leader trust a pres….nope can’t even write that….it’s just too far afield of what the US stands for to think about the idiot running the country…let’s just leave it that no one in their right mind…even Putin would ever trust anything this moron says…how does the world work without trust? Sad….

Well….just did the grocery run and I really can’t figure out how I spent 45 bucks…didn’t get anything other then some chicken…oh, well…I did get the fixings to make some more homemade pickles and I really enjoy them….and they are cheap…I can make two jars for about a buck 50 and I like the crispness of them….they didn’t have the fresh mozz that I wanted to have with some tomatoes later but I may go out again tomorrow morning to see if they have more…that stuff is so good…melt in your mouth creamy….I did get some work done around here yesterday and I am going to try to do more today after the bike ride…going to stop and get tomatoes on the bike today so I don’t have to make another trip….I did get to 4 days of not talking to anyone until I ran into Brian yesterday…it is strange how much I’m alone and how much it doesn’t matter to me….I am getting a little tired of the Olympics…so much that I had to watch some normal shows last night and I think I’ll do the same tonight…I think they need to shorten them down to like a week max…they just go on too long…more later…
Attacking the “rigged election” nonsense…
Well…was just sitting here marveling (not in a good way) about how Trump and his minions have been trying to delegitimize the election results before they happen since they are so far behind and Donald is just so damn dumb it looks like it’s hopeless for them….if I were in the Clinton campaign, I would attack these charges straight on by invoking the hard working honest poll workers, our fellow citizens that volunteer their time to do a thankless job and who are the people who make sure our elections are fair…and, I would ask Donald point blank..”why do you think your fellow citizens that run elections for all of us are dishonest?” This would shut that blowhard and all of his followers up…elections don’t just happen…thousands and thousands of our fellow citizens give their precious time to make sure our elections can’t be questioned and they do a great job…okay, go ahead and attack again Donald…sad…
Never before….
Well…the dumpster fire that is the Trump campaign hit a new low yesterday with the Donald actually threatening violence against Hillary and the judges she is going to appoint…yep, this idiot said this “Hillary wants to abolish, essentially, the second amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick-if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.” Now, never before in the history of this country has a nominee of a major party actually threatened to send his “second amendment people” to kill the other candidate if they get elected and do their jobs….and never before has the secret service had to talk to a candidate and his campaign to tell them that it is against the law to do this…but, I guess nothing is out of bounds in the modern repub party….led by the idiot Trump….how can this conceited, homophobic, asshole even be polling even one percent of the vote? This is not America…or maybe it is to the repubs…geez…
The country is moving on from the repubs…
Well….with the events from the Trump dumpster fire over the past week, it is looking more and more that the country is moving on from the core beliefs of the repubs….they want to build a wall and deport 11 million immigrants when a large majority of the rest of the country want some sort of sane immigration policy that would allow these workers to stay (a policy that was embraced by both Reagan an GHW Bush)….the Trump folks are still racist at heart and fear for the loss of “white privilege”…trying mightily to hang on to their shaky place in this society and decrying the idea that they just can’t be openly racist anymore..while supporting Trump for being a racist and “telling it like it is”…maybe it is to them, but the country has moved on and is trying to ensure all of us have the same opportunities….Trump and his followers salivate at the idea of overturning Obergfell and making gays second class citizens again while the country has moved on and accept the equal rights of the LGBT community…you get my drift? Trump and his followers are the last gasp of the idea that the rights of the “others” they don’t like is up to them…but the country has moved on from that whole premise…and is leaving them behind…all I can say is good riddance…this is 2016 not 1916….geez….
August 10th
Well…I did get to the beach yesterday…but the water was not 74 degrees as was listed on the web….more like 60 degrees…colder than heck and I still have water in my ears…there were clouds of those darn biting flies and I felt like I was in the middle of Africa….the drive out and back was fun, though, so that was something….I was going to take the day off the bike but when I got back here the guilts took over and I got out about 2:30 or so…riding is not fun without the jolt from caffeine that I get in the morning and the overhead sun was just too much…and, they had two legs of my trail shut off to do some repairs and that was just annoying….so, today I am getting back to the routine of working out and getting the ride in early….don’t need to cook today since I have leftovers but I do need to dig in the freezer to prepare for meals later in the week…and make a run out to the market to get some tomatoes….more later….
One little bit of truth…
Well….if you missed it, the Donald gave what could be called an economics speech the other day in Detroit…and, in between the Hillary bad crap, there was just one little bit of truth that came through…ole Trump was going off about how bad the Michigan economy is and how it would be so much better if the dems weren’t running it…yeah, well, Donald…take another look…the dems don’t control anything here in Michigan so of course, the crappy economy is the repubs fault…that wage stagnation is a result of policies that take money from retirees and give it to CEO’s so they can buy another summer home while we struggle to pay our bills….and laws that allow the repub freeloaders to not pay their fair share of taxes, and that allow freeloading union members to reap the benefits of union representation while not paying for that representation…but that is the repub way…bitch about freeloaders and then put policies in place that allow repubs to be the freeloaders while everyone else can go to hell…sad….
August 9th
Well…running early today since I needed to get this done before I head out to GH for my yearly beach morning and swim….yesterday was a total waste with the Olympics on but today, I think I’ll just ignore them and do the normal day after I get back here…not sure if I’ll get on the bike or not today…I could use a day off to heal the legs and with the disappointment from the past couple of days, I just don’t feel like doing much…..will fill you in on that one later once I understand what is going on….was good last night so the ride out today should be fun…it is a little cool, though, with it just breaking 60 so I think I may have to put the heat on a little with the top down….more later….
Marco Rubio is still evil…
Well…with the do nothing repubs fleeing town after playing politics with funding to fight the Zika virus that has invaded the US, most strongly in Florida, little Marco Rubio has weighed in on the birth defects that come from the infection. In an interview the other day, ole Marco said that since he is “strongly pro life” (or forced birth), he thinks pregnant women who may be infected with the virus shouldn’t be able to get abortions…or any women for that matter. Never mind that babies born with the defects will need a lifetime of specialized care running into the millions of dollars or that the stress of caring for one of these kids can shorten the lives of the mothers…no, no abortion for any reason is the only thing that ole Marco can say. Having a not too bright politician determine the direction of a woman’s life is just wrong on so many levels but that is what the repubs are all about…they sure don’t give a damn about woman’s health in this country…one of little Marco’s compatriots in Florida made the statement “there have always been birth defects…what’s so special about these?” That about sums up the cruel, evil repubs these days….geez…
Buzzardnado…
Well…out on the bike this morning, there was an odor along the whole trail that smelled like a dumpster fire…couldn’t figure out what it was until I remembered that Trump is going to give a speech on his “economic plan” in Detroit today….and that stinks even all the way to here…but, that’s not what this one is about…there were a couple of things that happened on the trail that I wanted to talk about yesterday but I forgot…so, I’ll do that today. Sitting at the park at my last water stop, I looked up as I usually do to find 11 black buzzards flying in a tight spiral that was a couple of hundred feet high…and the first thing I thought of was the “Shaknado” movies from syfy…and “Buzzardnado” popped into my head…so syfy, I have that name copyrighted….oh, one other thing…just getting to the trail today and there was a huge female red-tailed hawk just sitting on the top of the chain link fence that runs beside it…it was close enough to touch and didn’t move when I went by…pretty cool….
