The repubs are all responsible…

Well…they are responsible for this…they are responsible for 10 people being killed in Buffalo since they all have been in bed with the white nationalist assholes in this country and push the conspiracy theory that there is a concerted effort to replace white people in this country with black and brown people…and this is pushed every damn night on Tucker Carlson’s hate show and was used in ads for the third ranking repub in the house who carpet bombed facebook with them….and then the murderer wrote in his “manifesto” exactly what tucker and Stefanik were pushing…so, if anyone tries to tell you this shooter was a “lone wolf”, it is pure bullshit….this is their plan now…to incite their followers to start killing black and brown people to terrorize them into hiding away and not voting…not different than what the KKK did when they murdered black people who tried to vote…and it will keep happening until every damn repub is thrown out of office….after all they are all responsible…and not one of them has condemned the white replacement bullshit that this idiot used as the reason for killing 10 black people…not a damn one….

Clarence Thomas is an idiot….

Well…after the interview that Clarence Thomas gave yesterday, there is no conclusion you can draw but that he is a frickin idiot…he started out saying that the credibility of the SC has been destroyed by the leak of Alito’s unhinged opinion that will overturn Roe and then went on to praise Mcconnell for keeping Garland off the court and attacked John Roberts being appointed to the chief justice chair and went off on him, saying that the appointment started the decline in the court….and that left is bad…yadda, yadda…the same old bullshit from one of the worst justices in the court’s history. Hey, Clarence, do you think part of the crisis in the court might, just might be because you have a wife who tried to overthrow the government and then you didn’t recuse yourself in cases that she was involved in? Or that you and your unqualified right wing cronies have been ignoring precedent when it gets in your way as you legislate from the bench? Or that you have decided to remove rights from half of the country for the first time in the country’s history? No…it couldn’t be that…it’s the protestors outside Kavanaugh’s house who have done the damage to the court, right? That’s what you said in this crazy assed interview that highlighted the need to expand the court to keep you from destroying this country….you are a major reason for the court losing it’s legitimacy along with all of the unqualified liars you sit on the court with…and it is you that have destroyed the court….no one or nothing else….geez…

The repubs show they truly are evil…

Well…damn, just when you think the repubs have hit peak evil, another day goes by and they are even worse…and their newest racist, evil thing is to play on the baby formula shortage, caused by the FDA shutting down the biggest plant in the US that makes it for a huge contamination problem where two babies were killed by the contamination. The equipment in this plant owned by Abbott was worn out twenty years ago and should have been replaced with new machines that are easier to keep sanitary…but, the company thought spending almost 6 billion dollars on stock buybacks was better for the stockholders and execs running the company so that’s what they did instead. I’m sure you remember that asylum seekers at the southern border come here with their children to escape the violence in their countries, and the US government buys formula by the pallet load and sends it to keep those children alive…but, that is just too much for the racist asshole repubs and they are using the fact that Biden is feeding children who we have a responsibility for to attack him…shouting that those “brown” children should be left to starve until white babies have all they need…yep, they actually said that…now, I may be off base but that sounds evil to me. And the actions of the company that is supposed to be making the formula to pay off the rich guys instead of investing to make sure there is enough for all babies is evil, too…so, do you see the difference between the parties? Our side cares about everyone and our politicians do, too…and Biden is working overtime to help this company get back in production…not sure what a repub would do…surely not give a damn….evil…

Shouldn’t the SEC investigate Musk?

Well… with ole elon manipulating the stock price of both tesla and twitter with his loud mouth, moronic proclamations, shouldn’t the SEC start an investigation into what the hell is going on? Since this moron announced he was going to buy twitter using tesla stock as collateral, the price of tesla is down almost 40% which is the trigger for elon having to pay back the entire loan immediately…and there is no way he can come up with 44 billion dollars in cash…so today, he announces that the twitter purchase is on hold for some bullshit reason, and tesla stock goes up by 10% getting him out of the danger zone….and the kicker is that twitter stock dropped by 12%, making the company worth much less than the amount that ole elon offered for it…if this is not illegal stock manipulation, than what the hell is? This is not the first time he has done this, and with the established pattern of him doing the over and over, now is the time for the SEC to launch a criminal investigation and stop another rich guy from thinking the law doesn’t apply to him…geez…

I guess repubs don’t think women deserve rights…

Well…with the vote in the senate today on codifying roe into federal law, and every repub voting against it, the only conclusion that can be drawn is that repubs don’t think women have inherent rights like men an don’t think they deserve them. The next question is what are the dems going to do about it? We really can no longer just wring our hands and blame other people for what we can’t do even though the structure of the senate puts us at a huge disadvantage and gives the small, rural states an effective veto of what over 70% of the people want…and that is to preserve the right to an abortion that was decided in Roe. So, what do we do about it? First, stop ever thinking the repubs will do the right thing for once and vote to protect their constituents…that is not going to happen…so we need to plan how to get things done without them…and we need to get the message out of who they really are and hammer them about it every day…but not the piecemeal approach that just doesn’t work in the media environment we have…but find a damn theme and pound on that daily with a set of daily talking points so that message will get reported and repeated across all media whenever any reporter talks to a dem….and then go out and talk to people and explain why the promises the dems made during the election are not being kept…that the repubs control enough of the government and the kinda dems like manchin won’t allow the filibuster to be killed so the agenda can’t be passed…and then make it clear that the only thing that will change that is for the people to elect more dems to the senate so we never have to talk about Manchin again…so dems, get after it…show some righteous outrage for a change…there is no civility left in politics and no matter what you do you are going to be attacked by the right so you might as well get something for the attacks….

Pregnancy checkpoints?

Well…don’t know if you have been following the proposed new laws attacking women that are in the pipeline in the US when Roe falls, but if you substituted China, Russia, North Korea, or Iran into the story you it would fit just as well. One of the worst of these is a proposal from a repub, of course, that forbids women from traveling out of state when they are pregnant since they could be going to a state that still allows abortions….and how would they enforce that? By pregnancy checkpoints where every car with a woman in it is stopped and the women have to prove they are not pregnant before they can leave the state…and the only way to do that would be to take a pregnancy test. Now, I’m sure you’re saying “they could never get away with that”….and maybe before the right wing takeover of the courts it would be true…but since that has happened, the treatment of women as second class citizens is the biggest goal of the right and they have no problem with allowing these restrictions…..like Mississippi that has already passed a law that makes it illegal for a woman to leave the state for an abortion and allows anyone to sue the women and anyone who helps them for 10,000 dollars…just like the Texas law the SC left in place. So now I guess the constitution means nothing anymore and it’s gutting will not stop with abortion….so if any women are here reading this today, please get out  to vote in the fall and let’s keep any more of these assholes from being elected…geez…

Poor babies…

Well…cripes I guess “the vapors” are a thing again and it has the repubs just fainting they are so aghast at the people protesting at the idiot Kavanaugh’s house for his support of the overturning of Roe…well, poor babies, get used to it…you steal three SC seats and are going to make women second class citizens in this country and you expect us to just sit there and be civil? How civil were your cronies who attacked abortion clinics and doctors across this country? How civil were you when your buddies harassed women trying to get healthcare? You ain’t seen nothing yet…when almost 70% of the country wants Roe left alone but you christian fascists want it gone so you can control women just so the “supply of infants” in this country will go up and you rich white folks can have pretty new babies…what the hell do you expect? When an illegitimate court destroys the constitution to advance one religion’s ideas of a woman being only a “vessel” for giving birth, what the hell do you expect? There will be no civility until the three “justices” appointed by trump are gone and we return this country to the rule of law and not the rule of hate….geez…

Alito’s ruling is even worse than we thought…

Well…as a day has passed and people have started to read the entire bullshit mountain that is Alito’s ruling…it is stunning that one of the reasons he uses for outlawing abortion is the fact there is not a big enough “domestic supply of infants” for rich people to adopt so the government is going to force women to give birth to supply them…so, does that mean that if there is not a big enough supply of “domestic kidneys” for transplants that the government can now force people with two good ones to give one to someone the government chooses? Once he rules that American women’s bodies no longer belong to them, it follows that no one’s body belongs to them and it can be used any way the government sees fit…does this seem familiar to you? How about Nazi Germany where anyone who was not in the Nazi party could have everything they have taken away from them and be put in camps that the Nazis would use for medical experimentation. That’s exactly what is going on here and if you think you are safe because you are a religious white guy, think again….these assholes are shredding the constitution and every damn person in this country should be in the streets…

Ron DeSantis, sooper genius…

Well…I started out to do one on the repub from Indiana that won his primary from jail after he admitted to murdering his wife and dumping her body in a creek….more typical repub than you know…but, I wanted to take on a different idiot repub this afternoon…it turns out Ron DeSantis, the repub governor of Florida, is a soooper genius when it comes to investing the money from Florida’s pension fund…this fund had almost 300 million dollars in it that genius Ron had invested…guess where? Yep, in Russian assets that he was warned about before Russia invaded Ukraine…but this soooper genius thinks he is smarter than everyone and left all 300 million invested there since Putin wouldn’t do anything to hurt repubs, would he? At least that is what genius Ron thought and now guess what happened…go on, guess. Yep, the fund has lost 200 million dollars of the 300 million that he invested and is on track to be worthless in the next month…and even with that, ole Ron still won’t even try to salvage the rest of the fund…after all, he doesn’t think that the state should provide pensions at all so who cares if the peons lose all the money they put in….I wonder what will happen when he and the state get sued by the thousands of retirees who are now going to be broke and the state is found to be liable for the losses? I guess he’ll get the money from the same place he is going to get the money to pay off Disney’s bonds that he has taken on by dissolving the special status for Disney to attack them for opposing his don’t say gay law…he is going to have to raise taxes on the entire state and Floridians still love him even after that…a state full of sooper geniuses…geez…

Alito really is nuts…

Well…as more and more comes out about Alito’s screwy ruling that there is no right to privacy or abortions in this country, it get worse and worse and shows how he is just writing anything because no one can do anything to stop him…one of his key sources for finding that the constitution doesn’t protect women’s rights is from some random guy who wrote in 1742 that abortions were evil and against god or some such nonsense…and the only thing you need to know is this same guy he reveres so much killed women who he thought were witches…and that fits right in with Alito’s contempt for women and their rights. Alito goes on to falsely assert that there are no “extra” rights and if they are not in print in the constitution, they don’t exist…and this is in direct conflict with the 9th amendment where the framers wrote that just because it’s not in the constitution, does not mean those rights don’t exist….they just assumed that as time went on, the country would figure out how to expand the rights of all citizens and use the law to guarantee them…but they didn’t count on such a corrupt court that would ignore the constitution and supplant it with their own will and corrupt thoughts…what this ruling does is put every right in the crosshairs and the repubs are salivating to get more cases to the court that would eliminated the EPA, gay marriage, women’s right to vote, and every other one that is not in the constitution…and Alito conveniently forgets the 14th amendment, too, that guarantees equal protection under the law…now, I don’t see any governmental body trying to to tell men what they can do with their bodies so how is that equal? The founders warned of a demagogue who would take power for himself and destroy this nation….and now we have one….
