Trump’s rigged polls….

Well….if we didn’t know that Russia was meddling in our presidential election before, we do now with the revelation this afternoon that the Russians are rigging the online polls taken after the debate to falsely show that the idiot Donald won. All through the day today, Trump and his minions have been tweeting that all the polls except CNN (who did an actual poll that agreed with the focus groups that were run by republicans that Hillary crushed the idiot) showed that Trump won the debate…just one little problem with those polls…when research was done today on where the activity was from the “people” who voted for Trump, more than 90% of the addresses were from the St. Petersburg, Russia area…an area notorious as a hotspot for state sponsored Russian internet trolls who get paid to comment on any story etc, on the internet, and who the Russian government uses to build fake support for its policies. So, there you go, Russia is doing the same thing in our country and Trump and Fox propaganda are eating it up and doing the same thing that Putin does in Russia…using fake “information” to try to sway public opinion….I hope this comes up in the next debate…I want to know who in Trump’s campaign are collaborating with the enemy to rig the election and what they owe Putin for doing it….geez…

Debate wrapup…

Well…not sure if you watched the debates last night but if you didn’t, you missed a pretty sad spectacle of Trump getting gutted by Hillary and looking like an 8 year old compared to her. And, what the hell was it with all the sniffing? Trump sniffed like someone at the end of a 5 day coke binge…almost a hundred times in the hour and a half…now, if Hillary had done that, the entire right wing hate machine would be in overdrive pushing “questions” about her health. But, that was not even the worst of it for Trump, he essentially admitted that he does not pay federal taxes and he loves cheating people that do work for his companies…never have I seen such a lopsided debate…and I won’t be surprised if Trump skips the rest of them since Hillary is only going to get better and Trump is too damn lazy to prepare for the next two. To really understand how badly Trump did, even Fox noise said he failed his supporters and the country…Donald, when you’ve lost Fox propaganda, you’ve lost….geez…

September 27th

Well….it was a really busy day yesterday and I spent most of it in the car…had to meet up with a bunch of people yesterday and I made a bunch of cash so that was cool….was good last night and I shouldn’t have been with the debate on…but, that is one for another post that I will do later…have to do the normal stuff and work on the car first, though, going to grease the caliper pins and bleed the clutch first thing after I finish my coffee….the shifting was not as bad yesterday but I still think there is air in the line…or the slave cylinder is leaking again so I’ll check that, too….the allergies are really terrible this morning and I have started the day sneezing like crazy so there will have to be some medicine before I get on the bike today….other than that stuff…I am going to take an easy day today…don’t think I’m even going to cook…just use up the leftovers and then make another pork loin tomorrow….more later….

The debates start…

Well….not really sure if I’m looking forward to the debates that start tonight or not…after all, Trump has tried to rig the results by…well…almost too many things to name…starting with attacking the moderator saying he shouldn’t “fact check” anything he says…to lowering the bar for his performance to just continuing to breathe…and he has had so much help from the media to do that I’m not sure if there is any possible way that Hillary can win, even though everyone knows she will. I just can’t understand how anyone in this country can think that Trump is qualified for anything…and he shows his ignorance and hatred every day every time he opens his mouth…do people think that being a loutish asshole is qualification to be president? This country continues to sink to new lows as Trump supporters have been given a pass to reveal their true selves…and with that all dignity has gone out the window…I just shake my head…geez…

September 26th

Well…it’s dark and gloomy and I feel like crap this morning and that is not the way to start the week….and I wanted to work on the car this morning but I have other things to do so that won’t happen….I am going to make some money today so maybe that will make me feel better later….and it’s raining so I can’t get on the bike until later or put the top down on the errands and that irritates the heck out of me….didn’t get anything done yesterday…didn’t even cook so that will have to happen today….the first debate is on tonight and I am not sure I am going to watch it…it might be fun to watch Trump lie his ass off and get called on it…but the bar has been set so low for Trump that if he doesn’t bite the head off a bat, he will be declared the winner…and that is just sick….okay…more coffee is needed…more later…

September 25th

Well…not much of a day yesterday…I did get the bathroom cleaned and watched sports all day…Man U looked okay for the first time this season but it looked like they quit in the second half…but, a win is a win…two days now with the pedal not coming loose so I may leave the wrench home today…but it looks like another day of waiting for the temp to come up…it’s only 52 right now so I think I won’t get out until 10 or so….and that’s okay…not feeling it right now and want to finish up the Moto GP race….I think I have to work on the car tomorrow…want to bleed the clutch to see if that is why the shifts have gotten notchy…have to grease the pins on the brakes anyway so I think I’ll just do that all tomorrow….not much to do today…need to clean the kitchen but might not….more later…

September 24th

Well….not sure how much I like the changes that are happening as we move to fall….had to put the headlights on in the car this morning and it is cool enough that I’ll have to wait for a while to get out on the bike…it’s only 53 right now and I need it to be 57 so I can go out in a t-shirt….not ready to get the sweatshirts out yet….oh, and I did win at pool…and most of the soreness is gone even with going hard yesterday…but, today will be a no sprint day and I am puzzling on what would be the best music for that…it’s usually SD but I’m not sure about today….sitting here right now watching Man U and I’m not sure why…they have stunk up the place lately but are in the lead right now so I probably should stop here and go watch it….more later….

Live recorded music….

Well…there is good news on the bike so far…after cleaning the pedal arm and re-tightening it, no slop or anything today and it stayed tight through the entire 15 miles…but, that’s not what I wanted to talk about….just had a thing for live music this morning…”Southern Man” got me started, then into “No Quarter”, then into “Nantucket Sleighride”….all of then gave me so much energy on the bike today that I think I’m going to be sore with going so hard…and the pedal arm staying tight helped that, too…I may have to make a live music playlist this weekend…I need a CCR one, too…and maybe a Doors one? Who knows?

September 23rd

Well….feeling a little slow this morning since I went out to have one with K and J before cocktail night last night….didn’t get a damn thing done yesterday and today will be the same with shooting pool this aft…I did get a nice long ride in yesterday and went hard the entire 15 miles and that felt good…did a little work on the bike to try to get the pedal arm completely fixed…the annoyance factor has dropped from a 10 to 2 so the new bolt has had some effect…it is nice to not think about that on the ride….my back has healed it seems since the pain is just a twinge now but I hurt everywhere…just low level stuff that I can deal with….not much to do today….might clean some after I get back from the ride but probably not…more later….

Trump is still a “birther”….

Well…we all know that Trump lies like he breathes, and the disavowing of his “birtherism” is just another one of them….last week, he said that he “believes” that Obama was born in the US…a whole seven seconds in a speech…but that seven seconds doesn’t erase the 6 years of constant attack on the president, the constant racist dog whistles that were lapped up by all repubs and still are…and ole Donald admitted yesterday that his abandoning of his racist birther stance was just expediency….just to get people to stop talking about it…not that he apologized to the president for his many, many slurs over the past 6 years…nope, that won’t happen since he still is a racist piece of shit who still believes all of his own lies about Obama…I think part of this is the fact that Obama has come from nothing and, through hard work and intelligence, has made a difference in the lives of many Americans and has tried to do what is right for the entire country…while Trump was given everything…never had to work for a dime of his supposed “fortune” and has done everything in his life for one person…Trump…and has hurt thousands of people as he cut his path of damage across this country….I detect some jealousy there…after all, how could any minority do better than Trump? Trump is just one pissed off little boy trying to look like a man and failing at it…and it couldn’t happen to a worse person…geez…
