Well….this one is going to be a little jumbled since I have a few things I wan to talk about….first, just as I predicted, the repubs are back in their districts after Biden signed the infrastructure bill touting all it’s going to do for them…conveniently lying about the fact that none of them voted for it…or I should say not many voted for it…there were a few who participated in writing the bill and then voted for it and I thank them for that…and the response of repub leadership? You can guess this one…they want to censure all of the repubs who voted to help the people of the US and get started rebuilding the crumbling bridges, roads, buildings, and other infrastructure….and most of them will be primaried by far right nutjobs who will probably win and then lose in the general…kinda smart, huh? Explain this to me….consumer sentiment is in the low 30’s even with consumer spending reaching all time high….and the economy added an additional 700,000 jobs from June to September and real wages are up as well…so what is making people think the economy sucks? Could it be that the media doesn’t know how to cover good news anymore? Sure looks that way when you see the headlines screaming about inflation and how long it took to get the infrastructure bill passed…but it did pass but not much was written about what the benefits are going to be for the country….and that is wrong….geez….

Fox news hypocrites…
Well…if you ever watch fox news…and I sure hope you don’t, you’ve seen them go on and on and on railing against mask mandates and “vaccine passports” even though everyone who works there is required to be vaccinated…and just today it was announced that they are putting on a live show in Florida with the usual suspects like hannity and carlson who have made it their mission in life to lie about everything having to do with vaccines…and, guess what? Every person who is going to pay between 150 and 500 dollars to go to the event has to show their vaccine card or a negative test within 72 hours to be admitted….yep, in desantis’ Florida, that has a law preventing requiring proof of vaccination and has a 1,000 dollar fine for everyone who is asked their vaccine status, fox news is ignoring the law, probably with desantis’ blessing since they just love them some fox propaganda….and they love them some huge hypocrites that infest the right here in the US….I wonder when we on the left are going to get some billionaire to start our own truthful media empire to make sure people know the truth since the mainstream media daily seem to be going more and more right and keep parroting fox talking points? Needs to happen now….geez…
It’s about damn time…
Well…with the indictment of Steve Bannon on charges of contempt of congress, all I have to say is it’s about damn time…these assholes have been in contempt of our country and the rule of law for way too long with no consequences…but now, the first domino has fallen and stevie boy is looking at 2 years in the klink and no trump to pardon him…and this is an open and shut case…there is no question that he did what is alleged in the indictments and the judge in the case issued an arrest warrant but stevie has said he will voluntarily surrender to the cops on Monday…I just hope they are watching him closely so he can’t make a run for it…I wonder what Mark Meadows and the rest of the refusers are thinking now? If I were them, I would be scrambling to get my interview scheduled and get the papers ready that the committee has subpoenaed and that they refused to provide….finally, Merrick Garland has seen fit to do his duty and uphold the rule of law but let’s see if that continues..it better….geez…
Explain this repubs…
Well…if you have seen the news lately, almost every damn story is about inflation and we see the repubs incessantly blaming Biden for it and the pundits wailing that it will be the end of the dems……but, a new report out today shows inflation up by about the same amount the last month everywhere it was measured…Europe, Asia, Australia, and everywhere else shows the same percentage…so I guess Joe Biden controls the entire world’s economy now…and I’ll bet that would be a surprise to the rest of the world’s leaders. Look, with the pandemic and the similar way it has been dealt with around the world, of course inflation is going to be similar…as the rise in oil prices driven by Saudi Arabia effects every country that buys oil and the supply chain bottlenecks also effect every country…so, again, we see the repubs lying their asses off again for political gain and to smear Biden since they have no truth to do it with…but the lapdog press just keeps reporting these repub talking points, giving them a free way to attack Biden and I am tired of it…geez…
The idiot loses three times in one week…
Well….things appear to be closing in on the idiot trump this week when a federal judge shut down his claims of “executive privilege” as he tries to hide his role in the insurrection…and she did it three times with three rulings that slapped him down hard and opened the way to release of some of the information tomorrow. She really had to explain to idiot boy’s lawyer that executive privilege resides with the current president and knocked down trump’s assertion that privilege “exists in perpetuity” and the money quote was this one…”but presidents are not kings and plaintiff is not president” and made sure to make the point that privilege belongs to the office, not any individual and that Biden has made it abundantly clear that he will not invoke and privilege on any of the records. So, finally, we may start to see just how deeply idiot boy and his minions were involved with the planning and operation of the insurrection….and then maybe some charges will finally be brought…but with Garland as AG, I don’t hold out a lot of hope for that happening…geez…
Merrick Garland has to go…
Well…you know, I really wanted Merrick Garland to be a good AG and start restoring the rule of law in this country…but, he sits on his hands as all of trump’s cronies ignore congressional subpoenas which is braking the law…a few of them actually and yet Steve Bannon thumbs his nose at them and refuses to even acknowledge that he has received the subpoena…and what about the ten counts of obstruction of justice that Mueller had evidence for in his report? That surely should be enough to charge trump and now, the special prosecutor has shown that 13 people in the idiot’s circle broke the law by campaigning on government time…a violation of the Hatch act that makes this crap a felony….where are the charges for that? Look, I can understand getting your feet under you in new job but 10 months is enough…it’s time to start fixing our broken justice system and if he is not up to it, it’s time for him to go….geez….
It finally is infrastructure week….
Well….the dems first big bill has been passed and it is finally, really infrastructure week….not the joke that it was for the past 4 years under the idiot boy…and there was even a few repubs that voted for it, too….this 1.7 trillion dollar bill will get started on fixing the roads, bridges, airports, and every other part of the things that make this country run…along with that, there is money for lead water pipe replacement for the entire country along with broadband internet for underserved areas…but, as always, the repubs are so terrified of the dems being able to run on getting things done for the people of the country that they have started to lie about it…both taking credit for the bill while voting against it and saying that only 11% of the money is going to “real” infrastructure, whatever that is….but it just more of the same sour grapes that always comes from them when the dems get something done…just like they did for the ACA or Obamacare. Now, they need to get moving on the second bill and include the expansion of Medicare that will then cover dental, vision, and hearing care that is supported by 84% of Americans….but that doesn’t matter to Manchin and Sinema…they still don’t want to help people since their owners don’t want it…and that is pretty sick…geez…
The Koch’s are at it again….
Well….how damn dumb do you have to be to think the most important thing to do with your time is go out and protest against something that doesn’t exist? That’s just what it happening with all of the non-degreed white women who elected a trump clone for governor of Virginia….and have been polled that critical race theory was the most important thing that got them to vote for the repub….and they don’t want it taught to their children…which it isn’t in any school across the country. So, why would they think it is? It’s the Koch’s again who have set up an interlocking network of “news” organizations. podcasts, and rallies that use that non-existent theory to stir up the racist whites and keep them agitated by bombarding them with crap like “all white kids are racist” according to the theory and that is what is going to be taught to them if CRT is allowed into the schools….and one of the messages that is repeated by this network is that slavery wasn’t that bad and it wasn’t whites fault since every race has owned slaves in the past. If you remember, it was the Koch’s who were behind the astroturf tea party that came into being after Obama was elected…and that was no coincidence…they know they can gin up outrage in these people since they are primed for it by fox news, sinclair, and the rest. My question is history is history, shouldn’t kids be taught the truth? That this damn country was built on the backs of slaves and racism is still pretty prevalent…how do you fix something if you don’t let kids see the truth? I feel bad for people who are being used as foot soldiers in this war on progress in this country….but they have a responsibility to seek out the truth and it is just lazy on their part to take the easy path and just let fox news rot their brains….geez….
They really do want to kill children…
Well…those asshole repubs really do want to kill children and leading the charge is the supreme asshole, Ted Cruz. Just today when someone posted a quote from Big Bird on twitter that he had gotten his covid vaccine and the innocuous comment that it would “give his body an extra protective boost that keeps me and others healthy”…and I’m sure this is part of the rollout of the vaccine for children 5 years old and up that started this week and is trying to put the kids at ease about it…but ole ted had to weigh in with his corrosive assholeness when he replied: “government propaganda for your 5 year old”….now, why does he and all repubs want children to die? By tweeting this out to his followers, he is going to kill at least a few children whose parents are on the fence about the vaccine…I know that if I had young children we would have been first in line to get them vaccinated just like with the MMR vaccine and the polio vaccine…and the third shot of the covid vaccine and flu vaccine that I got a few weeks back…and I didn’t do it because I’m scared of covid…although I am…but I got them because it is my duty as a citizen to help protect everyone else and stop the spread of covid…if it protects me too, so much better…how do these assholes live with themselves?
A messaging problem…
Well…I think the dems brought a knife to a gun fight…when it comes to messaging all of the good things that they have done for the country and the economy, why aren’t they shouting it from the rooftops? When exit polling shows that people don’t credit the dems for anything, we know there is a messaging problem…when they don’t even recognize that the couple of grand in stimulus money came from dem legislation, there is a messaging problem….when they don’t recognize that the economy is booming, there is a messaging problem…especially when the same exit polling from around the country show that people think the economy stinks when unemployment is down by over 10% since Biden took office and over half a million jobs were added last month…to go with the 12 million added since Biden was elected…so what do we do about it? The repubs have fox news to counter all of the good things with lies and we need to make sure the truth is out there…every damn dem needs to get with the program and tout what has been accomplished and maybe even spend some money to take out ads across the media landscape to make sure people know what is going on and what we’ve done….things have changed and we need to change to cut through the fox bullshit….geez…
