Well…I guess now it’s all balloon all the time with the ridiculous repubs…and my question is: “Can they get any more ridiculous?” The answer to that is yes…let’s back up a bit in case you didn’t read the news the past few days…there has been a spy balloon from China floating over Canada and the US the past week or so and the repubs were just freaking out about it…whining and crying that Joe Biden wasn’t doing anything about it even going so far as on repub house member threatening to impeach Biden for his allowing the balloon to continue collecting information and not shooting it down as soon as it was seen…other repubs told their followers to get their guns and try to shoot it down themselves…which is really stupid given that the balloon was the size of a stadium and floating at 65,000 feet in the air…but no one ever accused the repubs of being too bright…so, after the balloon floated over the ocean, Biden sent the Air Force in with an F-22 and shot it down where it wouldn’t do any damage when it fell…and after that, it was revealed that the Air Force had jammed the signals so no information could be sent back to China and we were able to read the signals and analysts are working on the data to see just what the balloon was for….oh, and the kicker? The idiot trump had three of these go over the US and did nothing…no signal jamming, no shooting them down, no nothing…and the loud mouths who are attacking Biden knew about them…didn’t hear them bitching then…geez…

Where’s the coverage?
Well…with the stunning performance of the job market adding 567,000 new jobs and an unemployment rate at 3.4%, the lowest since 1969, my question is “where’s the coverage?” I’ve seen coverage all over today about some damn Chinese balloon that is floating over the US, but maybe two articles about the best economic performance in decades…and with inflation dropping quickly, every person in the US is going to benefit from what the Biden administration is doing to steer this economy…and when you compare the US performance to the rest of the world, we have recovered better from the pandemic than any other country…but no mention of that in the news, either….but you get some asshole repubs wearing AR-15 pins in the House and it appears in every news feed that I read…the media really is broken in this country…geez…
This is why gas prices are high…
Well… as people continue to blame Biden for high gas prices, the latest report on the profitability of the big four oil companies shows who is really to blame…over the last quarter of 2022, profits at the big 4 were 140 billion dollars…yep, that’s a B as in billion dollars….over 50% higher than they have ever been, and guess where all of those dollars came from? Yep, from you and me in one of the largest transfers of wealth in history that is going right into stockholders hands…and that ain’t you and me. Now would be the time for a excessive profit tax to be levied on these crooks…it has gotten so bad in the UK that they are predicting that 3-4,000 people will die as a result of not being able to afford heat for their homes this winter…and that is just sick…people die just so stockholders can buy the fifth house, or the bigger yacht, or the hundredth car….and yet the conservatives on both sides of the pond make sure that nothing can be done about it to keep the big oil money flowing into their campaigns…I really don’t see how these people can sleep at night know that they are slopping at the oil trough while people die….geez…
Things are still happening…
Well…have been having problems finding a topic today but something just popped up that reminded me that things are still happening in all of the investigations into the idiot trump…just yesterday, a grand jury in NY asked Michael Cohen for his phones to gather more evidence into the hush money payments that idiot boy ordered Cohen to make to Stormy Daniels and that Cohen did 18 months in jail for…and I think this is a brand new GJ just seated this week so it will take some time for them to get up to speed…the one thing you have to remember is that no prosecutor would convene a GJ unless they had enough evidence to charge someone…and that someone is idiot boy. In Georgia, the GJ that was investigating idiot boy and others for election interference has finished it’s work and now we are just waiting for Fani Willis to announce any indictments and that could come this week…and another prosecutor in NY is going after the entire trump crime family with lawsuits regarding the conviction of the trump org. on 15 felony counts of fraud…so that is moving, too…but I am getting a little impatient for the multitude of shoes to drop…just indict him already…geez…
A broad conspiracy…
Well…with the arrest of the FBI traitor Mcgonigal in relation to his getting paid off by the Russians to interfere with the 2016 election and the recent disclosure that Michael Flynn also paid him 28k to lie to James Comey to get him to re-open the investigation into Hillary’s e-mails, we can see that this was a broad conspiracy to install trump in the presidency….and it was all run by the Russians…but the sick part that hasn’t been revealed yet is why the NY Times pushed the e-mail story relentlessly when there was nothing to it…were they being paid by the Russians, too? I think we need an investigation into the reporters and editors who were involved in pushing this story since they are still doing it today by pushing right wing talking points every damn day….and it’s the same cast of characters around trump who were convicted of their crimes that he pardoned and are still stirring up violence even after the January 6th attacks…what the hell does it take to bring criminals to justice in this country? And that goes for Barr and Dunham who lied to the country about the investigation into the Russia interference in the election…if no one is held accountable, all of this crap is going to happen again…or it is happening but they’ve just gotten better at hiding it….geez…
This might be good for our side…
Well…with the dysfunction in the House driven by the repub morons being in charge and the news coverage of it, this just might be good for our side especially if the media starts calling them out and gets it right that all of the economic damage that is coming is the fault of the repubs…and I think that it is a mistake by Biden to even talk to mccarthy about the hostage taking they are doing about the debt ceiling….I really don’t think they even know what the debt ceiling is if you listen to mccarthy try to explain it…he thinks it’s like using a credit card to spend more when it is really just paying for what has already been spent…it’s that simple but they just don’t get it….one tiny little bright spot that may be a preview of things to come was from Chuck Todd of all people just blasting jim jordan on MTP Sunday and not letting him lie his way through the interview…now we need the rest of the media to do the same thing every time they have one of these liars on their shows…not really confident they will but I can hope…geez…
Their latest tax scheme…
Well….the repubs are out with their latest tax scheme and it is aimed right at poor and middle class taxpayers…and for people like me who live on SS and have no income tax liability, it would raise our tax obligation to 30%. If you haven’t read about it yet, the repubs propose to get rid of the IRS and income taxes and replace them with a 30% sales tax on everything…and that would be the biggest tax increase on middle and low income taxpayers in history, and the biggest tax cut on the rich and corporations in the history of the country…as actual economists have commented, sales taxes are the most regressive type of taxes that there are and they impact the poor most since the percentage of their income taken with the sales tax is such a greater proportion than the rich…and I really don’t know how I would even be able to live if my SS was cut by 30%…but this is what the repubs always do when they are in charge…attack the poor and middle class even though they are their voters…and those idiots keep voting for them and that leads us to where we are now…with SS and Medicare in danger and the biggest tax increase in history proposed by these idiots…geez…
Trump is a murderer…
Well…a new article out this morning shows that in the last 6 months of the idiot trump’s administration, he allowed his minions across the country to execute 10 times more people than the previous 10 administrations combined…and even 6 after he lost the election… and you can guess that racist asshole was just loving it since the majority of the prisoners on death row are minorities…every damn day when you think the news coming out about this absolute waste of skin can’t get worse , it keeps getting worse….how the hell do..okay, yeah, I understand how this asshole could do something like that…after all, he let hundreds of thousands of Americans die during the pandemic and he didn’t care…and he sent a mob to the capital with the knowledge that they may kill a bunch of people..and he watched gleefully as they were doing it…god I hate that asshole and I wish he would just die already…geez…
This is what a blue state looks like…
Well…after the 2022 election and the blue takeover of our state, I had high hopes that we could return to normal and stop the repub bullshit that had polluted our political air here…and I was so happy that we have tough, capable women who live in the real world running the show here….and what you know you’ll never hear from any of them? Attacks on the LGBT community or teachers…read this quote from Dayna Polehanki, the Education Committee Chair: “At this stop, we will not participate in the demonization of teachers or LGBTQ students, and we will not give credence to fake scandals or conspiracy theories. Let me be clear that those days are over for the next four years while I hold this gavel.” Notice that she covered all of the things that repubs would be doing if they would have taken control and that we see in every damn red state…so thank you Michigan voters for turning out and voting for sanity and making Michigan a better place to live…
Where are my classified documents?
Well…with the press doing it’s best to equate Jo Biden finding some classified documents in his house to the thief trump stealing 11,000 of them, and now both Pence and McConnell saying they found some, too, my only question is: Where are my classified documents? It seems everyone else has some so why not me? I wonder why the media is still equating trump and Biden? Could it be the the stupid disease of both siderism that even the so called objective media is infected with these days? Look, I’ll speak very plainly…the only this that is the same is that both cases involve documents, that’s it…the idiot trump picked over documents that he though would make him some money and packed 11,000 of them in boxes that he stashed in an unlocked part of his tacky club…and when asked about them, it took an FBI raid to get them back after he stonewalled the government for two years…when Biden found his 11 documents, he immediately called the FBI and turned them over…and then allowed the FBI to make sure there weren’t any more…he didn’t say they were his, he didn’t say he declassified them, and he didn’t move them around so no one could find them…so do you finally get it, media…they are not the damn same and you need to get it right…geez…
