Well…yeah, I’m running late this afternoon getting to this one…had lunch with T that turned into a laugh fest and lots of fun an just got home a bit ago…after reading an article about natural gas supplies in Europe and that the price is crashing, all I can say is I’ll bet Putin didn’t see this coming. Since the start of Putin’s illegal invasion of Ukraine, he has used the threat of cutting off natural gas to try to keep Europe and the rest of the world from supporting Ukraine…saying it was going to be “dark, cold winter” for them this year…but then, something happened and natural gas storage in the EU is at almost 94% filled which would keep the area going right through the winter even if they never got another btu…and you have to remember that Germany used to get 60% of it’s gas from Russia before the invasion happened and now it is at zero…what happened is they turned to other sources like the US and have built new LNG terminals across Europe to be able to handle the ships hauling it…and, unlike the US, the EU is undergoing a crash program for increasing renewable energy like solar and wind and even the weather is cooperating with warmer than normal temps so far this fall and winter….so now that leaves ole putie selling his gas to India and China at a 50% discount and Russia will be even more broke than it is…and all the blame is on the moron who launched this invasion…I wonder when the generals and oligarchs will get tired of this crap and say bye, bye to ole putie? It can’t come too soon…geez…

All you have to do is look…
Well…if you want to see what the proposed repub plan for the economy will do, all you have to look at Britain and the fallout from the exact same proposals that the Tories have planned for their economy…and it’s the same old bullshit…trickle down economics where tax cuts are given to the rich and they then are the engine of growth that will trickle down to the workers…and the only problem with that is has never worked anywhere in the world…and cuts to the social safety net are part of the deal since since they “can’t afford” them anymore…exactly the same thing that the repubs are saying here as they propose even bigger tax cuts for the rich that did nothing but make income inequality worse here in the US…not one damn job was created from the 2 trillion dollar giveaway that came from the trump tax cuts…other than lawyers who worked on stock buyback plans that made the rich richer and made the rest of us pay more in taxes….and let’s be blunt, we all paid for SS and Medicare our entire lives and they are not an “entitlement”…it’s something we bought with 7.5% of our income paid in from the time we got our first paycheck and all we have to do to protect it is to get the hell out and vote for the dems who will protect and expand these programs so those of us who depend on it can continue to eat and pay our bills, it’s that simple…the repubs want to kill all of us on SS so they can steal that money and give it to the rich..and voting for any repub is going to make that happen…get out and vote…and only for dems…geez…
Poor little Lindsey….
Well…if you’re like me, you feel that the wheels of justice are turning way too slowly in holding the idiot trump and his cronies responsible for trying to overturn the 2020 election….but just yesterday, there was some movement when an appeals court ruled that Lindsey Graham has to testify to the grand jury concerning his role in trying to throw out predominately black votes in Georgia…ole Lindsey was trying to use some arcane law that says that reps can’t be questioned in regard to their legislative actions to get a get out of jail free card for anything he does…but calling on the SoS of Georgia to throw out votes is not part of his job and was not done during a legislative session so the appeals court ruled unanimously that his claims were bullshit and told him he has to testify…and now that sets ole Lindsey up for one of two outcomes…either he will testify truthfully under oath which will show that he broke Georgia’s laws against election tampering, or he will take the fifth, essentially admitting that he is guilty of multiple felonies…finally, I hope these maga assholes get what they deserve…at least out of the government but they should go to jail for this attack on democracy in service of the idiot trump…do trump next…geez…
Are all of them working for the Russians?
Well…if you needed another reason to not ever vote for another repub, one popped up in the news today…as you’ve probably heard, all of the repubs have been spouting off that they will end aid to the Ukrainians if they take control of congress…and that makes me wonder, are all of them working for the Russians? What is it about Ukraine and it’s people’s struggle for freedom that is so repugnant to the repubs? Starting with the idiot trump’s attempted extortion of them that got him impeached the first time and continuing to today, the repubs have been hating on Ukraine for years and the reason could be as simple as they just love them some putin and are trying to repay him for handing the election to idiot boy and are looking for more help to make sure that a dem never gets elected again….or they could just be selfish assholes who just want the power to hurt people they hate since they show that behavior here in the US every day. As a preview of what the world can expect if repubs get elected, reps of Ukraine met with repub members of congress last week and ole mccarthy assured them that they could count on the US’s continued support…then he went to the press and told the truth when he said that they would end aid to Ukraine if they are in control…it’s taken two years of Biden for the world to trust us again, and you can be sure that the repubs will blow that up if they are in control again…so, people, get out and vote…and not for any damn repub….geez…
I just don’t understand…
Well…I know I talk about polls a lot here and sometimes they are accurate and sometimes they aren’t, depending on the structure of the poll and the selection of the sample to poll…but, just the other day, one came out that I just don’t understand…in that poll, almost 70% of the Americans polled thought that our democracy is in danger but that same poll said that most people aren’t basing their votes on that…with inflation and the economy still coming out on top…and I have one thing to say to these people: if we you vote for repubs and we lose our democracy in three weeks, inflation and the economy are going to be the least of your problems…as the repubs are now saying openly, if they take back the house, they are going to hold the world hostage by defaulting on our debts unless they get enormous cuts to Social Security and Medicare along with Medicaid…and they are not stopping there…they are coming for the affordable care act that has helped over 20 million Americans afford health insurance and all of the good things that come from the inflation reduction act like 35 dollar a month insulin for seniors will be gone and they will try to pass a nationwide abortion ban that will take women’s control of their own bodies away from even the states like Michigan who have a constitutional amendment protecting women on the ballot in November….I just don’t understand how this is not a hair on fire moment for ever damn person in this country….do you think the repubs will do anything about inflation? Or the economy that they have crashed every damn time they’ve been in control? Not a frickin chance since they will be too busy investigating their enemies and impeaching Biden to do anything for normal Americans…so get your head out of your asses voters…inflation is not the most important thing on the ballot…especially since more than half of it is just price gouging by big corporations…and do you really think that the repubs will do anything about that? Nope…geez…
What a damn crook…
Well…we all know how big of a crook the idiot trump is stealing anything that wasn’t nailed down when he was squatting in the WH, but just the other day his corruption hit another low when it was reported that idiot boy charged the secret service 5 times what a room normally goes for when they stayed at his tacky resorts…upward of 1200 dollars a night for at least 10 SS agents…and this cash went straight into his pocket and is the reason he never stayed anywhere but his own properties…so 12,000 bucks a night to protect this asshole when he’s not worth 2 cents…and it was estimated that he took yours and my tax money to the tune of over 2 million bucks and I can’t believe the SS went along with it…okay, with the revelations that the SS is full of trumpers, I guess I can believe it…and now I wonder who in the SS got kickbacks for approving this illegal expenditure? The question I have is: was the SS this corrupt before trump or did he just infect the entire government with his amorality? As this crap is uncovered, I want someone to be held responsible…the corrosive effect of idiot boy getting away with this and everything else he did is just sickening…and to have an entire political party not just approving of this corruption but participating in it at ever turn depresses the hell out of me…geez…
Are all old people stupid?
Well….after reading a poll that showed that 60% of people 65 and older are planning to vote for repubs in three weeks, the only thing I have to say is: are you stupid? What the hell is wrong with you people? Look, I know that most of us depend on Social Security to pay our bills and to stay alive, so why the hell are you voting for people who are going to take that away along with your Medicare? It makes no damn sense that this threat from the repubs that have been talking about doing for months is not even in the top ten things that people are concerned about according to this same poll…old folks are more concerned about inflation and gas prices than losing their SS that they paid for their whole lives…when the repubs take that away, you won’t have to worry about gas prices since you won’t be able to afford any of it…you will all be starving to death but I guess that is less important to you than Joe Biden…something, something socialism. I guess I’ll be going back to work at 70 and be working until I die….thank the repubs for that you old morons…geez…
Dumber than a box of rocks…
Well…just wanted to do a shorty about the Georgia senatorial debate last night and the fact that Herschel Walker proved to everybody that he’s dumber than a box of rocks…it started off with him pulling out his wallet with his fake sheriffs badge on it to make some sort of a point that I don’t think anyone has figured out yet…and then he went on to bitch about the dems trying to lower the cost of insulin saying that you don’t need it…all you have to do is eat better and lose weight and it will cure itself…I guess ole Herschel doesn’t know there are two kinds of diabetes and people who have type one need insulin to stay alive and no lifestyle change will make their pancreas start producing it…he really thought this was a “gotcha” answer but it just made him look like the ignorant fool he is…and his final bit of nonsense that shows he really doesn’t know anything is when he responded that the government shouldn’t have anything to do with healthcare, making the comment that people should just have the same healthcare as senator Warnock does…is anyone going to tell him that the senator has government healthcare? I really didn’t watch this debate since I find these stupid, ignorant maga assholes not worthy of my time…oh, and one last thing…ole Herschel tried to say that he knew more about the bible and is “more religious” that the senator Reverend Ralph Warnock who is the pastor of the same church that Martin Luther King called his home…geez, this guy is just dumb…
Elon Musk is a terrible person…
Well…it it wasn’t already bad enough that ole Elon has gone full maga and joined the rest of the Putin worshipers in the repub party, this week he showed just how terrible of a person he is…after his conversation Putin earlier in the week, ole Elon started pushing the Russian line that Ukraine should “negotiate” with Russia and let them keep all of their occupied territory…and that was bad enough but his latest support of Putins terrorism by threatening to shut off his starlink internet satellites that Ukraine depends on for communication since Putin shut down internet service to Ukraine at the start of the invasion is even worse…and he says it’s just that he doesn’t want to pay for it anymore…which he hasn’t since the US government paid for it up until now…and the cost of his starlink system is going to be there even if he cuts Ukraine off since he already launched the satellites and put they system together….so what is the reason he is threatening Ukraine now? Could it be that this subject came up in his little “talk” with Putin? No matter what the reason is, it IS a reason why to tax these asshole billionaires so they can’t affect the US’s foreign policy just because they are rich….I know I’ve called for a lot of boycotts since I started this site but can you think of a better person to make less rich that ole Elon? Yeah, with this crap, I didn’t think so…I’ve even taken to not watching any of the Space x launches anymore…and I sure wouldn’t ever buy a Tesla with how crappy their quality is….and my carbon footprint from my Miata is as low as a ICE car can go with driving less than 30 miles a week so it wouldn’t help the Earth anyway….Boycott everything Elon…
Chris Wray needs to be fired…
Well…after watching the Jan 6th hearings yesterday and with the revelations that the FBI and Secret Service knew that the attack was going to happen over 10 days before January 6th and did nothing, the head of the FBI, Chris Wray, needs to be fired and now. Did you see any FBI agents protecting the capitol that day? Nope, neither did I and knowing what they knew, both should have at least mustered a small force to help the local police defend the capitol…and that makes you ask the question, why? Is Wray just incompetent or was he in on it? It is well known that various offices of the FBI are hotbeds of trumpism and Wray was appointed by the idiot trump…and many officers of the Secret Service are hardcore trumpers and a few of them even palled around with the leaders of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers and one of them was even on trump’s staff before he went back to his job at the SS..this guy Ornato, should be fired today, too, since his support for trump trying to overthrow the government was clear to anyone with eyes…and that should go for any trumper still in either of these organization…even if they weren’t personally involved, their support and donations implicitly helped trump do what he did so they are all responsible…and that’s not a political purge that I’m calling for at all…it is a reckoning for the people who enabled trump to even try to destroy this country and are still supporting him even when they know what he did…the poison tree needs to be torn out by the root for this country to survive….geez…
