Isn’t it nice?

Well…if you have been following the media coverage of Joe Biden’s first overseas trip as I have, I’m sure you’ve had this same thought…isn’t it nice to have a normal, competent president instead of an ignorant blowhard? No controversies, no pushing other world leaders out of the way so he could get to the front of the picture, no threats, and other world leaders actually wanting to meet Joe…and listening to him, and smiling…and accomplishing real progress on trade by solving the Airbus/Boeing problems that will level the playing field in the EU for Boeing. I don’t remember once where the idiot boy made anyone smile other than when they were mocking him for being a boorish fool…and not one person ever said they looked forward to working with the moron after they met him once…and really, no one could stand him and how much he lied….could you imagine Joe ever not visiting a military cemetery  because it was raining? Or calling the soldiers buried there “losers” and not understanding why they sacrificed for their country? I am just relieved that we don’t have to cringe anymore when the president travels and the polls show that the world is relieved that Joe Biden is president and the friends that were pushed aside for the autocrats that trump loved are the most relieved….I am, too…

The best reason to expand the court…

Well….hey, all of you dems in the senate who oppose expanding the  supreme court, listen to what moscow mitch had to say about blocking all of Biden’s supreme court picks if the repubs retake the senate…just this morning he promised that none of his picks would even get a vote…so that would mean that the court would permanently have a right wing majority built on corruption of the approval process and would slide even further into illegitimacy…and the only way to counter that is to expand the court right now and have all of the picks for the new seats be real judges who would follow the law and not legislate from the bench like the right wingers do now…so dems, do you think keeping the filibuster is more important than fixing the court? If you do, you should just resign right now and let someone into your seat that will fight for this country against moscow mitch and the rest of his traitors…geez…

So now subpoenas write themselves?

Well…another day, another group of trump toadies who can’t remember anything…and didn’t do anything…and who don’t know anything….it has been all over the news how trump used the justice department as his personal vengeance machine, investigating everyone who ever said a bad thing about him…including his own WH counsel, Don McGahn…along with Eric Swallwell and Adam Schiff. Just today, every person who was in charge of the justice department under trump said they didn’t know who authorized the subpoenas to go after the data of the dems…or who took the info to the grand jury who issued them…so now we are told to believe that the grand jury and the subpoenas just made themselves and served themselves on Apple and Google and then used that information themselves and trump’s toadies didn’t know ‘nuttin….what a load of bullshit. Every damn one of these criminals need to be hauled in front of congress, under oath, and when they lie, which they will, they need to go to jail for these and all the other times they lied to congress…which Barr did multiple times…at least there is an investigation starting into this crap and with an IG that isn’t a trump toady, we may just find out how corrupt these idiots are…and soon…

Barr and Sessions should be in jail…

Well…as the drips of information coming out about exactly how corrupt trump and his cronies were, it continues to get worse and worse…as reported by the NYT Thursday, both Bill Barr and Jeff Sessions used the justice department as trump’s vengance machine trying to get information to attack his “enemies”…but, it gets even worse…it’s not enough that Barr lied to congress about investigating people, but those people were dem members of congress like Adam Schiff who sits on the intelligence committee all the way down to his kids who Barr sent a subpoena to Apple to try to get their information…what would be the justification for that, and who the hell was the judge that approved the subpoena? This is just the start of the revelations of corruption that permeated the justice department under trump…and now the question has to be what the hell is Merrick Garland doing? Not one head has rolled for this misuse of power and many of the same investigations are still going on…why haven’t the prosecutors who lied to get these subpoenas been fired? Any and all people who supported this crap need to be rooted out and fired for violating their oath to uphold the constitution and for having no ethics…they knew this was wrong but did it anyway…and that is justification for them to be gone….geez…

WTF is Garland doing?

Well…boy, sure thought it would take me longer to be disappointed with Merrick Garland as AG but damn, defending the idiot trump against a defamation suit brought by Jean Carroll? I really thought that the justice department being the personal plaything of trump would go away after he did…but as of today, the department is still defending idiot boy in court and it is Garland’s decision to do that…he could, right now, end the justice department’s involvement by withdrawing from the case and letting the idiot pay for his defense…the justice department is no one’s personal law firm no matter who that person is…and trump is an EX president who is no longer in charge…so this defense should be dropped and let the chips fall…and why the hell Garland is still a part of it is beyond me….there are rules for the justice department and this must break a bunch of them…in my long lifetime I’ve never seen this kind of corruption and Garland was brought in as the guy to fix it….but he has chosen to continue it without any explanation for his actions…and we deserve an explanation….and fast…..geez…

Joe is finally wising up…

Well…it’s nice to see that Joe Biden is finally wising up to the modern republicans and is going to go it alone to try to get his infrastructure plan passed….just yesterday he gave up trying to “negotiate” with them and I think he is finally realizing that they don’t give a damn about making American lives better, they just want to make sure he isn’t successful…no matter who it hurts. I think Joe needs to forget all of the times in the past when he could work across the aisle…back when repubs were semi sane and at least tried to look like they cared about people other than the rich….but the crazy has taken over the party and ignorance now is a badge of honor as is lying, cheating, and stealing…oh, and hate…can’t forget the hate that oozes out of every one of those slimy bastards…so, good on ya, Joe…now try to get the other Joe to listen to you and act like a dem for a change….Manchin is almost as bad s the damn repubs…geez…

Got my absentee ballot application…

Well…forgot to talk about this one…but I got my first absentee ballot application for my first election here in Muskegon…and all I have to do is sign it and send it back and they will send me the ballot for the local election that is coming up….that is for now, the repubs here in Michigan are trying to make this easy, smooth process much harder in many different ways that include having to send a copy of your ID in with it…and who the hell has a copier anymore? I mean anyone who is retired and doesn’t need one…and that would mean going out to UPS or some other store and paying 1.50 for a copy…what about the people who don’t drive anymore? This is the kind of bullshit that the repubs are doing all across the country to still support the idiot trump’s big lie that mail in ballots are rife with fraud when there was absolutely none in Michigan with almost 7 million ballots cast….so, call your rep or senator and tell them to stop this crap of trying to make sure that people can’t vote…it’s the Russian playbook still in work….and the repubs are more than happy to support Putin over the US….geez…

Joe Manchin should just go be a republican…

Well…you know, I hate it when people who are supposed to be on our side…the side of America and democracy don’t see it that way…I’m sure you’ve seen all of the vote rigging/voter suppression laws that have been passed across this country by repubs who can only win elections when we are prevented from voting…and now Joe Manchin has come out against the for the people act that would fix all of those laws so more people can exercise their right to vote. Look, if he thinks that protecting the right to vote from partisan bullshit will only make it more partisan, then he just needs to go and join his fellow re[publicans and stop the pretense that he is a dem at all….how he came up with that convoluted logic is beyond me…like we can’t try to fix the roads since they will just wear out again? Or we can’t pass laws against murder since that will cause more people to murder? Geez…how do such stupid people get to run this government? Just go, Joe….you are just worthless to this country if you won’t protect the sacred right to vote…just frickin go…

Now will they fire DeJoy?

Well…surprise, surprise…the trump appointee Louis DeJoy who has spent the past couple of years wrecking the Post Office, is under investigation, again, for campaign finance violations…and this time, there is a grand jury empaneled to look into it along with an FBI investigation. So, why hasn’t he been fired already? You know he won’t resign because these idiots have no conscience and truly believe the law doesn’t apply to them, but he needs to go. The alleged scheme is the same one he pulled at his firm back in 2014 that he was never prosecuted for for some reason…where he got employees to donate to repub campaigns and then a miracle happened…these same employees got bonuses for the exact same amount of money they “donated”…this kind of “straw donation” is really illegal and many on the right have gone to jail for it, trying to get around campaign finance donation limits….and now this new investigation must be for new violations since the 2014 crimes are past the statute of limitations for campaign finance violations….again, why hasn’t he been fired already? DeJoy has to go if it’s only for the damage he has done to the Postal Service…but for this, it would be the icing on the cake…geez….

Ha, ha,ha…this is too funny…

Well…..I guess the media “empire” that the idiot trump was going to build is not working out so well…as of today, his blog/website that was going to be the replacement for being banned from Twitter and Facebook has been shut down and idiot boy himself has whined to his moron followers that too many people were “making fun” of the website and no one was reading what he had to say…ha,ha,ha….what the hell did he expect? That everyone would flock to his inane meanderings and racist bullshit because they used to? Hey, donnie…your time in the spotlight is over…for now anyway…get used to it…every time you open your mouth you confirm to just another sliver of your cult that you are just not worth it anymore…after all, almost 500 of your most ardent followers are going to end up in jail after listenting to you and attacking the capital…how did you expect them to react when you sit on your ass in your tacky golf club while the ones you egged on are sitting in the cooler? This is just too damn funny…and it took less than a month for another trump venture to collapse into nothingness…I wonder if the site designer is going to get paid? Probably not….why would anyone work for this welcher?
