Well…I’m pretty damn disgusted today when I think of all of the crimes against this country that the dems are letting the repubs get away with…this whole attempt to overthrow the government is not being taken seriously by anyone as the dems wring their hands and “debate” whether they should subpoena a frickin justice of the supreme court’s wife for her clear role in the conspiracy…and the chief of staff for the idiot boy, Mark Meadows, is allowed to continue to commit voter fraud and ignore subpeonas from the Jan 6th committee and nothing happens…no Merrick Garland, no justice department, no nothing…and the idiot boy bribes the Manhattan DA to drop the case where one of the chief prosecutors resigned and stated that he had trump for multiple felonies…but nothing happens…and trump commits 48 felonies while in office and Garland ignores it and goes about his business tra la la….and our voters sit there whining that they didn’t get everything they wanted in the last election so they are going to not vote this time to show them…and give the country away to the repub assholes because their fee fees are hurt….and all of this could be fixed in just one election if our voters would just suck it up, stand in line, and vote….but they won’t because they think so damn small and have no memories of what the dems and Biden have done for them…ooo…gas prices are up so I’ll vote for the asshole repubs and lose all the gains we’ve worked for the past 40 years….you think it’s bad now? Just wait until you sit on your damn couch in November and let the repubs take over…it will be the last time you’ll even get a vote and the whole damn thing just disgusts me….geez…

This is a little funny…
Well…ran across this little tidbit about the Ukrainian army that struck me as a little funny…not that this invasion and murder by Putin is funny at all….a couple of days ago, when I was reading the news, someone mentioned that the Ukrainian army now has more tanks than they did when the invasion started…if you’ve been following this atrocity, you’ll understand this comment that is supported by videos of Russian tank crews running out of fuel and abandoning their tanks to have them towed away by Ukrainian farmers….and you have to admit the picture of the Russian “supermen” running away from their tanks in droves while the Ukrainians sit and wait for it to happen and then adding the abandoned tanks to their own army is a little funny…and one of the jokes going around asks: what country is the biggest donor to the Ukrainian army? Of course the answer is Russia…whether it’s true or not is not the point…it’s just another pin pricking the bubble of Russian superiority and helps the morale of Ukrainians everywhere….humor will do that…..
Rot in the supreme court…
Well..hey, and you didn’t think things could get worse at the supreme court…a little naive, huh? Damn, when have you ever heard of a SC justice’s wife being involved in trying to overthrow the government? That’s exactly what happened with Ginni Thomas, the wife of Clarence whose text messages to Mark Meadows and others in the trump crime administration were just revealed yesterday…and that makes Clarence’s vote to keep trump’s papers private (the only one on the court to do so) even more suspect…hmmm…it’s kinda like he was using his seat on the court to protect his wife since he knew that she was in on the coup attempt up to her right wing neck….look, I’ve heard all of the hot takes on this corruption of the court…or this latest corruption of the court by the repubs that started with mcconnell stealing three seats and putting right wing toadies in the in these lifelong appointments….and the breathlessness with which they are being reported…but, unless the DOJ or the House or someone does something about it, it will just be another Friday where the repubs get away with ruining another part of the government by their short sighted lust for power….and no one is held responsible. What the hell does it take? And why are the dems not appointing a special prosecutor to take this corruption on? I think this is going to be the day we lost our democracy if nothing is done….and I’m sure nothing will be…geez…
The effect of Russian bots…
Well…damn, listening to the right wing assholes in this country, you would think that there is a conspiracy to keep people from liking their bullshit on twitter and the other social media platforms…just yesterday Tulsi Gabbard whined on fox news that she normally gets 250 to 300K views on the right wing sludge she posts but in the past week that has dropped to only 15K views and she just knows it is from being censored for her views…but, hmmm….I wonder what event coincides with this drop in likes? Could it be the banning of Russian access to the internet and that includes the bots from the propaganda farms that Russia uses to amplify the craziest of the right wingers here and make them look more popular than they really are? Ole Tulsi is just not bright enough to understand that she is just not that popular and 90% of her base is made up of these Russian bots who pretend to be real “Muricans” to continue to do Putin’s work in helping the right wing assholes do more damage to the US…so poor Tulsi…her delusions have gotten the best of her…I wonder if her Russian funding is stopping, too? Too bad…geez…
Something rotten in New York…
Well…if you remember a couple of weeks ago, two of NY’s star prosecutors who were working on the case against the criminal trump abruptly resigned after the new Manhattan district attorney, Alvin Bragg, decided to not pursue an indictment against trump…and there was tons of speculation why no indictments and why the prosecutors would resign after putting in years of work on the case…well…now we know. After the NYT obtained the resignation letter of one of the prosecutors, Mark Pomerantz, it is crystal clear why he couldn’t go on in the corrupt office that Bragg has built…in the letter, Pomerantz gets bluntly to the point and says that with the evidence and case that was developed against trump, he believed that idiot boy was “guilty of numerous felony violations” and that it is a “grave failure of justice” not to hold him accountable…and the other prosecutor, a Mr. Dunne, concurred and were planning on charging trump with falsifying business records which is a felony in NY state. Now the question is “why did Bragg kill the investigation and does he have any connection to the trump crime family?” You have to remember that when Cy Vance was DA, he had both Jared and Ivanka on felony changes for the same kind of crap and, after he got a mysterious 50K campaign donation, he dropped the investigation in that case, too….so, Justice department, and Merrick Garland, what are you going to do about this corrupt bullshit that is allowing another trump to walk from felonies that anyone else would be sitting in jail for? I think this has been a repub plan from the start, to corrupt the justice system from local prosecutors to the supreme court so they can do whatever the hell they like, break any laws they like and never have to worry about being held accountable…now I hope the justice department will prove me wrong…but I don’t have any hope that will happen…geez…
Paul Manafort isn’t going anywhere…
Well…I’ll admit I had a pretty big smile on my face when I read the news that Paul Manafort was yanked off a plane this morning in Miami and his passport revoked as he was trying to make a run for it to Dubai….and it seems a little funny that this would happen to the fully pardoned trump flunky unless there are other things going on at the Justice department that are going to break soon…like more crimes in Ukraine to go with the the ones he already committed there that helped lead to Putin’s invasion….or even maybe that this could be part of a criminal complaint against the idiot boy (we can hope) that could land them both in jail and the JD is making sure he is going to be here to face the charges…and this time he will stay in jail since he doesn’t have the idiot to give him a pardon and that fact may even get him to cooperate this time. This will be an interesting one to watch over the next couple of weeks…and it couldn’t happen to a bigger crook…oh, okay…trump is a bigger crook and I hope they get him in this one, too…geez…
Who knew Kid Rock was secretary of state?
Well…damn, who knew that Kid Rock was the secretary of state for the idiot trump? It was revealed yesterday that, when he was golfing with hid great buddy trump, idiot boy asked this crappy musician his opinion what he should do with North Korea, even bringing out maps (that were probably highly classified) to point out to him what he was talking about…and no one on idiot boy’s staff said a word to him that maybe it was a little inappropriate (or even illegal) to show classified information to a civilian…again, I’ll do the imagining exercise…imagine what the repubs would have done if even Hillary had been invited to give advice to Biden? In public at a golf club in front of other civilians? You would still be hearing about it today even in the confirmation hearings for Judge Jackson and it would be in every add for the 2022 elections…but with idiot boy? Not a peep as the hypocrites in the repub party continue to ignore the 48 times that it is clear trump broke the law…typical repub bullshit…geez…
Back to the 15th century..
Well…in case you haven’t been paying attention, let’s summarize what the repubs end game is now that they have captured the supreme court by chicanery and lies…first you know they want to overturn Roe and make abortion illegal again across the repub controlled states and that is going to happen in the near future as telegraphed by the unqualified right wing assholes that trump and mcconnell stole seats for….but that’s not all they are coming for..since their ideas are so damn unpopular across the country…even with mainstream repubs, they need to have the court legislate from the bench and return this country to the 15th century where women were property and the church is the only law. We can see this by the latest repub talking point that Griswold was “improperly” decided…you know the one…that struck down all of the laws that made contraception illegal….and now their next target is the ruling that gave gay people the same rights as everyone else and that one will be struck down next year with the cases that are now wending their way through the courts with the express purpose of giving the SC the chance to overturn Obergfell…the ruling that expanded US rights to include gay people. The latest attack on rights is the idea that a state can extend it’s authority to women as they try to go to other states for legal abortions…and they are using the the SC’s non ruling in the Texas abortion case where they let stand the bounty system that allows anyone to sue any person involved with helping a woman get an abortion…and that goes against the constitution’s guarantee that the laws of one state stop at that states borders…can you imagine if all you needed was one blood red state allowing slavery again and then all states would have to abide by the laws of that state? That is exactly what the repubs are trying to do through the SC and, with the right wing hacks on the court who have no respect for precedent or the constitution, they just might get their wish even though 80% of the country doesn’t want any of this crap….now do you understand why it is essential to vote in every damn election? We need to get a big enough majority in the senate to expand the court without Manchin or Sinema or this country is doomed…geez…
Putie boy isn’t going anywhere…
Well…in a little bit of good news coming out of the atrocity that Putin has rained down on the peaceful Ukrainian people, the International Court of Justice has just designated the invasion of Ukraine a war crime and Putin a war criminal…which makes it a hanging offense if Putin ever leaves Russia again…so maybe he can go to one of the countries that are run by his puppets and have no relationship with the court, but no more UN, no more vacations to the Riviera, no nothing unless he wants to be hauled up in front of the court and sentenced to death…and this ruling makes it pretty simple…the only proof they need is that the invasion happened…and it did so they really don’t have to prove anything…and all of the idiot’s tv addresses just add to the evidence and make it even harder for outside countries to help him avoid sanctions if they don’t want to be hit with the same charges…so all of his puppets need to start looking over their shoulders and making plans to hunker down in their own countries since they can be arrested if they ever set foot outside of them…a good development amid all of the carnage Putin is raining down on innocent civilians in Ukraine…geez….
Let me get this straight….
Well…as I was reading about breathless reporting that the war in Ukraine has entered a new phase with the Russians “digging in” and making semi permanent placements of their tanks and artillery and this is a bad thing for the Ukrainian army…but, in my non military head, my take on it is a little different…sitting in a semi permanent location that can be found by any one of a number of drones and tells the Ukrainians where the Russians are seems to be a little bit on the stupid side…there are even videos already showing the tanks digging in so what is to keep the Ukrainians from shelling these emplacements with artillery or bombing them with drones or aircraft? After all, these aren’t hardened reinforced concrete structures designed to withstand bombs but they are just holes that they are parking the tanks in…and to keep them useful the turrets need to be exposed so they can aim their guns and the tops of the turrets have some of the thinnest armor on the tank, making them perfect targets for a hellfire missile or even a bomb toting drone…so, what is the thinking here? I sure as hell wouldn’t park my tanks where they couldn’t be used and could be attacked at will…and it would only take about 3 artillery shells to zero them in and kill the tanks…I wonder if they are digging in because they don’t have the fuel to drive the tanks anymore? Whatever the reason, this appears to be just another in a long line of blunders by the supposed “super” Russian army who have been fought to a standstill by the motivated Ukrainians….cripes, I would love to have my enemy just sit there while I attacked…I guess they can fill the holes with burned out tanks…geez…
