Women’s control over their bodies is over this fall…

Well…now we are sure that both Kavanaugh and Barrett lied their asses off when they both said that Roe v. Wade was settled law and that they didn’t see any reason to take any more cases that deal with a women’s right to choose…both of them just signed on to take up a case on abortion from Mississippi that was designed to get to the supreme court and take women’s rights back 60 years….and it will be decided this fall and you can bet with the 6-3 right wing majority that is the court now, that will mean that any restriction that any state wants to make on abortion will be just dandy with the SC…it isn’t even enough that there is only one clinic in Mississippi that performs abortions, these repub assholes won’t be happy until they make sure that women don’t have any rights at all…after all, their bible says they don’t and that is what they use to legislate in that backwater….this is just more of the same bullshit taking of rights that is the only reason for the repubs to exist anymore…just to hate and make sure that they crap on people they don’t like…I hate these people…

All because they couldn’t get paid…

Well…I’m sure you’ve heard about the huge pipeline serving the east coast that went down last week and the hand wringing that went along with it since it was supposed to be cyber terrorism…yeah, not so much…the truth came out yesterday that the pipeline company shut the line down since their accounting system was hacked and they couldn’t be sure to be PAID correctly…yep…they caused the deaths of at least two panicked people who filled their cars with gas cans and cost consumers across the country a billion dollars in higher gas prices all because these idiots couldn’t figure out how to get paid when their automated systems stopped working…there was never anything wrong with the pipeline at all….and, of course, they couldn’t tell the truth since it was not sexy to have their accounting system hacked but it was to have a huge pipeline that supplies most of the gasoline for the east coast hacked and shut down. Of course, no one is going to be held responsible for these lies or for terrorizing half of the country…that’s just not how it works anymore…lying all of the time has become a virtue for half of the country and infests everything that happens….I’m really starting to hate these kind of people….I’m sure they could have asked their customers for their data on how much fuel was delivered since their accounting systems weren’t hacked but I guess blaming a screw up by the company on terrorists makes them feel better…and these days, that’s all that counts…geez…

It’s a trap!

Well…how many of you knew that was a often repeated line from Star Wars? This time it applies to the repub response to the infrastructure bills that the dems are proposing…while the dems have included repealing the repub tax cuts for the rich to pay for it…the repubs have made it a key to their plan to raise taxes on the middle class and poor by instituting user fees that hit those groups the hardest as a percentage of income….and the dems are letting them go on about not repealing the rich people tax cuts as they prepare to go it alone after the repubs will invariably blow up the negotiations over Joe’s insistence that no one making less than 400k a year will have their taxes raised…and that is the trap that has been set by the dems…they know that the repubs will never allow their pet tax cuts for the rich to end and they are going to allow them to whine and bitch about it for a while…as the dems then plan to go it alone to pass this popular bill repealing the tax cuts that the public wants and then will hammer the repubs with it in the 2022 election…all the while emphasizing that the repubs tried to block the plan…pretty subtle and effective…and mcconnell is going to  lose this one bigly….

Wake up, Joe…

Well…Joe, Joe, Joe…..I know you remember the bipartisanship from your time in the senate a long time ago, but are you listening to these assholes who you are trying to do a deal with? To start, turtle mcconnell has stated bluntly that his entire job is to make sure you are not successful and that any bill that will help the American people will be blocked and the tax cuts for the rich are set in stone and will not be touched…some bipartisanship, huh? Yesterday, after the idiot mccarthy walked out of the meeting you held to try to find common ground, he scurried right to the microphones and called you “corrupt Joe Biden” and promised that he would not even try to help the American people….so more bipartisanship? Look, Joe…these guys have shown you for years and years that they will never buy into anything that you are proposing so just leave them behind…your bigger problem is to get Manchin and Sinema to stop covering for ole mitch and start acting like dems…that is your real problem and is something you need to deal with and right now…or you can kiss your very popular agenda goodbye…get after it…

Don’t screw with Darth Vader…

Well…it looks the idiot trump and his minions got their way in removing Liz Cheney from her leadership post in the House…but, I think their high fives are going to be very, very short lived…do they even remember who her father is? Yeah, that Dick Cheney…the one who has overthrown governments, approved torture, and lied us into the Iraq war…and that was just on a Tuesday…the Dick Cheney who is still plugged into the old boy repub networks that control the money going into the party…do they really think Dick got the nickname Darth Vader by being a Star Wars fan? Cheney is the guy who works behind the scenes to get what he wants…and you never see him coming as he shivs you in the back…does anyone think that the idiot trump or Kevin McCarthy can go up against him? When he takes slights of his family just like an Italian mob boss does? We saw some of his behind the scenes machinations when he got over 100 former state and defense department heads to put out a letter warning trump about using the military to overthrow the election…and it is well known that he thinks trump is just a washed up game show host who never should have been president….and this diss on his daughter is going to be the last straw and he will use his power to torment trump for a while as he goes after McCarthy too…and he is going to end any possibility of McCarthy getting what he wants, and that is to be speaker of the house. Now, I hate Dick Cheney with a burning passion for what he did to harm the US while he was VP, but if his Vaderishness can be turned on idiot boy, I’ll watch that…

Traitors…

Well…why the hell are Kristin Sinema and Joe Manchin even called democrats? With the debate on federal protection for voting rights being debated in the senate today, both of these dems in name only are going along with ole mitch’s lies about it..agreeing that the bill would be a “power grab” by the federal government since elections are normally run by the states…how damn blind can these two be? Do they remember the voting rights act? Where any changes to election law in states who had constantly tried to keep minorities from voting had to be approved by the courts? Until the Roberts’ court and Roberts lied his ass off saying that racism in voting didn’t exist anymore and gutted the VRA, all of the states that now are passing hundreds of voting restrictions had to have the changes approved by the courts and never would have gotten one of their changes approved since they are just so obviously aimed at making sure that minority voters can’t vote that no court would approve them. And now we have Sinema and Manchin feigning concern that this really might be a federal takeover when this bill is just a response to all of the repub voter suppression that have happened in the states they control. If they are so damn dumb that they can’t see that McConnell is playing them, they sure don’t deserve to be in the senate and have anyone listen to them….it’s bullshit they think this way and I don’t get why they trust anything mcconnell says…no one should…geez…

They’re even lying to themselves now…

Well…I really don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to know how sucky the population in general thinks your leader is. With the trump cult still in full swing, now the repub house and senate election committees are withholding polling information from the other repubs as they meet to try to work out a strategy to take the house and senate next year…and the reason is that the numbers are just so bad for idiot boy trump that he is going to cost them winnable seats if he pops his ugly head out of Florida and tries out his schtick again…especially after most of the country thinks he is responsible for the attack on the capital. This brings up a question…why the hell is anyone scared of idiot boy if only a small fraction of the country even cares if they ever hear from him again? Or is the support because all of the damn repubs have the same racist views and they still like how he is so good at hating people and has liberated them from having to hide their hate? Whatever it is, there are people in the repub party (not many of them) who are becoming concerned that Biden’s great numbers on his handling of basically everything may cost them the chance to win either the house or senate…and their ever loonier candidates are appealing to an ever smaller base that works in primaries but won’t in the general election…gee, we can only hope…

There is no “labor shortage”

Well…damn, my stomach is feeling really queasy right now and I’m not sure why…yeah, I know I had a couple of cocktails last night, but it shouldn’t be this bad…but, that’s not what this is about…I’m sure you’ve heard the whining talking points by all the repub business owners that say that there is a “labor shortage” and that they can’t find workers since the workers can make more money with the extra UI benefits than they can working….god, don’t you just hate these people? With these assholes it’s always the workers fault for everything…I wonder if any of them have looked in the mirror to see themselves and the bullshit they’re spouting? Look, if a worker can make more money on UI than they can working for these cheapskates, isn’t it smart to not work for them? Raising the pay to lure workers to their businesses is never, ever considered since they think workers are overpaid if they make enough to pay their bills and feed their children…and that is one of the biggest markers of a “labor shortage”…that owners have to raise pay to get workers to take their jobs and they will after that happens…but, since employers would rather whine than pay their workers what they are worth, there is no labor shortage…and every economist who is not a repub hack agrees there is no shortage and workers are not just sitting on their couches eating bon bons…there are reasons that workers are not taking these crappy paying jobs just to be mistreated again…and you can see that mistreatment by how these repub employers are lying about a labor shortage…they just don’t want to pay what their workers are worth and that is their choice…as it is worker’s choice to not work for them…

This is kind of funny..

Well…I guess you have to hand it to the lawyers who are defending some of the traitors who attacked the capital on January 6th…the latest one made me laugh a little since it is something I have commented on quite a few times in the past and it is kind of satisfying to have my thoughts verified…at least a little. Just the other day, one of the lawyers presented the idea that his client was not guilty since he was forced to watch fox news for 6 months straight and even coined a new term for the malady…”foxitus and foxmania” that resulted from being fed a steady diet of lies by both fox and the idiot trump…and started to believe what he was being fed by both…and even one pundit even termed it “not guilty by reason of sean hannity” as a cute take off on insanity that this traitor is trying to plead. Now, I’ve talked about the propaganda that spews daily from fox and other right wing “news” services, and have likened them to Tass and Pravda in the old Soviet Union who did exactly the same thing as they brainwashed their people with lies about the US and the world…the only thing that penetrated this dome of lies was the work of Radio Free Europe to try to send the truth to the people under Soviet domination…but the key difference here is the people behind the Iron Curtain wanted the truth and sought it out anywhere they could find it…unlike fox news viewers who are just perfectly happy to be lied to everyday and accept these lies as the unvarnished truth that can’t be penetrated by a “radio free America” which is the rest of traditional media. I am curious to see if and when this gambit will be laughed out of a courtroom…which it will…but there may be a civil suit against fox for the lies that they still spew that I would pop popcorn and sit down and watch….cripes…

What the hell is wrong with repubs?

Well….was just sitting here thinking about the weird crap going on with the repubs these days and can’t figure out a few things…first, why the hell are they so scared of the idiot in chief who lost the last election in a landslide? Every damn one of them but Liz Cheney and ole Mitt are still parroting his lie that the election was stolen and the only reason for that has to be fear of the idiot boy and his crazy assed followers…and this rot goes from top to bottom to the point that they are trying to throw Cheney out for saying out loud that Biden won fair and square…now that is just wrong to have an entire party based upon lying about damn near everything but that is where we are now and who knows how to fix it? The only thing I can think of is to take the few sane repubs out there and turn them into independents to keep the repubs from winning the house and senate in 22. That party is just performative right now, too, they have nothing to give to the American people at all but voter suppression and death and sucking up to the idiot, as evidenced by the moron governor of Florida, DeSantis, signing a voter suppression bill this morning but only allowing fox news to cover it so the idiot trump would be sure to see that his lips are firmly attached to his white pimply ass….what the hell are wrong with these people? I can only shake my head….geez…
