Well…as I always do, I mark the day of the Kent State massacre every May 4th and today makes 56 years since it happened…and nothing has changed…Americans are still being killed by their government for still exercising their constitutional rights under the first amendment…I was a 16 year old kid trying to figure out how I fit in the world and these murders ripped the cloth off my eyes and I saw our government not as the benign entity for good but as a terrible one run by people who didn’t have any idea what the constitution meant and didn’t care…they thought in terms of “law and order” and anyone not toeing the line they wanted was fair game to be murdered in the streets…that started me on t he path I still follow today of a deep and abiding cynicism after seeing ordinary people murder their fellow citizens and, with what is still going on today, nothing changes…geez…

The dems are getting ready…
Well…with so many crimes and so much corruption to choose from, house dems have started to get ready for the investigations that are to come, telegraphing what it’s going to look like after the election this fall…and it’s started with the corrupt deal that the idiot trump made with Totalenergies to give them a billion dollars after idiot boy cancelled two offshore wind projects…and the money was to build pipelines and other facilities for oil and gas projects that the US does not need…and that money was stolen from a fund used to defend the US from lawsuits which Totalenergies had none..so this was a clearly a bribe to Total to get them to go along with idiot boy’s pet project to destroy renewable projects and build more dirty energy to pay back the oil companies that have bribed him for years…so all I have to say is good on them for no longer waiting and using what power they have to put the corrupt companies like Fidelity Investments, who just folded to trump and stopped taking donations to the Southern Poverty Law Center due to a trumped up indictment of misuse of funds that will get thrown out of court…maybe this will stop some of these stupid ceo’s from folding to the idiot trump…geez…
Affordability is bullshit?
Well…the senile old asshole in the WH gave up the game yesterday in a speech to his right wing enclave of the villages in Florida when he called the affordability crisis “bullshit” and said that it was just a dem scam…man, I can see the ads being written with this clip right now and if every dem running for anything doesn’t use it, it will be political malpractice…I mean 4.50 gas is bullshit? Not being able to afford beef is bullshit? And skyrocketing costs of everything is bullshit? This out of touch asshole has caused all of it with his stupid war and tariffs and the hits will keep on coming as the price of fertilizer soars by 50% since it is made from oil…and that is going to mean that all food prices are going to soar soon and there is going to be widespread choices to be made…do we eat or do we pay our other bills? That is going to hit more than 50% of America since that many people here are living paycheck to paycheck and have less than 400 dollars in the bank…so yeah, for the rich it may be bullshit but for the rest of us is certainly isn’t…and we’re going to pay for this asshole’s stupidity…geez…
This is what they’re running on now…
Well…if you didn’t know that the repubs are just awful, all you have to do is listen to their latest talking point that extends on forcing people on Medicaid to work to get their benefits…the only thing that you have to remember is that most of the people getting Medicaid are either disabled or already working…and now, some asshole repub has said that all people getting Medicare should have to work to get the benefits that we have paid for our entire lives…don’t they understand what the word retired means? How many times do we have to listen to this crap before we never vote for another repub? I paid for my Medicare benefits and to have some entitled rich asshole repub say that now we have another hoop to jump through to get our earned Medicare just pisses me off and should do the same for anyone who is 65 and has worked their whole lives…this is what SS and Medicare are for…so that seniors do have the chance to relax and enjoy what they’ve earned after paying in hundreds of thousands of dollars to the SS/Medicare pool…if anyone votes for this bullshit, they should be made to pay by never sitting on their fat asses sucking up money that belongs to us…geez…
Everybody likes dem policies…
Well…with the defeat of Janet Mills in Maine, maybe we are seeing a return to true dem policies that she did her best to destroy…and she was the hand picked candidate of the repub lite dems like schumer who think the way to electoral success is to appeal to repub voters and be like them…but there is a new wave of dems out there who are not shy about being dems and proposing policies that will help regular people who are struggling in this billionaire dominated economy…and these policies start with taxing the rich to have the money to help people have better lives with affordable child care, affordable housing, and getting billionaire money out of elections…when these ideas are polled, ever 60% of repubs like them along with 80% of dems…so with popularity like that, why is the dem leadership still hanging on to ideas no one likes? This is one reason why people really don’t like dems…and it is for the fact that they never fight for the little guy, they never take the repubs on head on and call them out for their bullshit…so now a new generation of dems are making their voices heard and they are not scared of laying out a new vision for this country where one job will support a family, where higher education is affordable to all with no crushing debt to go along with it, with a social safety net that will relieve the threat of being one crisis away from bankruptcy, and that healthcare is a right not a profit center for the rich to get richer…this is not radical stuff…it’s how things used to be until the repubs stole the country and gave it to the rich…and it can be again just as long as the new dems get a voice and schumer and company get relegated to the dustbin of history where they belong…geez…
A day of protest…
Well…not sure if you know this or not but May 1st has been designated a “day of protest” where people are being asked to forego any economic activity in protest of the idiot trump and his destruction of this country…here in Michigan the protest centers on gas prices that have increased 70 cents a gallon this week due to the idiot’s stupid war against Iran…and the repubs are trying to gaslight the country saying that gas prices were 6 bucks a gallon under Biden when they averaged less than 3 bucks a gallon…so, I’m going to do my part and not go into any store or even buy anything online…just going to the library to pick up some more books since I ran out last night and then do household stuff…let’s make a point to the asshole repubs who have gotten us into this fix that there are more of us then them and they are going to pay this fall…geez…
A lunatic running for governor…
Well…I guess we have a lunatic running for governor here in Michigan and I’m not happy with that…not sure if you’ve seen the ads for this moron, Perry Johnson, but they read like all of it crawled out of trump’s ass…starting with his promise to cut all income taxes and provide a tax cut of
4747 for all the people…yeah, I got that, too…how much more can you pander to the loser in the WH than to repeat his 47th presidency in your plans…now I’m not sure how this idiot will fund Michigan’s government with no tax revenue but he goes on and on with the old saw of “cutting waste” I guess just like doge did on the federal side that was shown to have COST money instead of saving it…but this delusional asshole goes on saying what ever damn repub has harped on for years that most government is “waste” and then cuts all the programs that help regular citizens…oh, and this idiot goes on to say that he supports ICE 100% and will give them all the cooperation they need to terrorize Michigan just like they did in Minnesota…something that no one in Michigan wants…I really do hope this delusional moron gets the repub nomination…it would be so easy to show people the modern face of the repub party in this distilled trump disciple…geez…
Good riddance, Janet Mills..
Well…it was announced this morning that the governor of Maine was stopping her campaign for senator of that state, lying it was for “financial reasons” when the truth is people have figured out she is just another corporate shill who has been vetoing all of the bills that would help the people of Maine…the latest being a moratorium on constructing new data centers for AI that use more energy than some towns and have caused water shortages across the country…and she ignored the studies that have found that there is no benefit to the towns and counties where they are located since a million square foot facility only needs about 4 people to run it…and all of the benefit and profit goes to the owners of these monstrosities…and, in areas that have these stupid data centers, electricity rates have exploded as they gobble up all the capacity in the system and use more water in one minute than a hundred houses use in a year…and they don’t pay to increase capacity of these resources, they just make them scarce so the price of both explodes, pricing residents out of the water and electricity they need to survive…so, it’s good she lost or we would have her bullshit, corporate favoritism on a countrywide scale…geez…
A license to cheat…
Well…we all know that the SC is filled with partisan hacks trying their best to give the repubs a permanent ruling majority even though 70% of the American people don’t want that at all…and yesterday, they drove the final nail in the coffin of the voting rights act that roberts has made his life work to destroy…and the asshole alito wrote for the majority that gerrymandering to take away minorities voting power is just fine with him…and he went on with roberts overriding theme that racism in the US is over even though hundreds of suits have been brought against repubs who only want white people to be able to vote…so now do you get why we need to take back the house and senate and win the WH in 2028? this is the most corrupt court in the history of the country and reform should be the first item on the dems agenda…take away robert’s power to put his thumb on the scale…after all, it was roberts ruling in citizens united that let billionaires buy elections and he has be dismantling out democracy ever since with his nakedly partisan rulings…expand the court or impeach this corrupt son of a bitch…geez…
Not a rapist or pedophile…
Well…I’m pretty sure that Obama and Biden never had to go a news show to proclaim “I’m not a rapist or pedophile” as the idiot trump did Sunday night on “60 Minutes” as he attacked Norah O’Donnell and called her names throughout the interview…now what I’d like to see from these chickenshit “journalists” is to just end the interview when the idiot starts that crap…don’t they have any self respect? Or is this part of CBS now being owned by one of the billionaires who think idiot boy is just fine and the reporters being told they just have to take it or quit? Whatever it is, there is no reason to ever interview the pedophile in chief if they just allow him to continue to lie his ass off every time he opens his mouth…geez…
