Well…As talk increases on what to do to reform the filibuster in the Senate to keep moscow mitch from killing all the legislation that country needs to move forward, he has started to threaten the dems with a “Scorched earth” policy that he will use to pass all the things the dems don’t want like militarization of the Southern border, outlawing all abortions and taking voting rights away from everyone the repubs don’t think should vote…you notice that there is not one thing in that list that does anything to move the country forward or help anyone? After the threat was made, the majority whip, Dick Durbin, basically replied with “bring it” and then asked mitch why that is any different from what he did with Merrick Garland’s nomination to the supreme court and mitch calling himself the grim reaper; making sure that popular legislation passed in the house died in the senate when he controlled it. I am happy to see that the dems are still showing a backbone and are meeting threats with promises and action that helps most of the country…and that means reforming the filibuster but doing away with it or, at the very least, making the repubs actually hold the floor by being there and speaking instead of phoning in their objections without doing any work. I’m glad to see the even Joe is getting on board to these changes to get the rest of his agenda passed to protect our democracy from the hundreds of bills that the repubs are pushing to make voting harder for dems especially…it’s about time…

Kavanaugh should be sweating…
Well…it looks like the lying drunk Kavanaugh just might have some problems in the future if a dem senator gets his way…just the other day, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse sent a letter to AG Merrick Garland asking him to conduct proper oversight in the FBI’s probe into Kavanaugh which Whithouse contends was “politcally constrained and perhaps fake” and the FBI did their best to make sure that no information detrimental to Kavanaugh was allowed into any report by ignoring witnesses and setting up a fake tip line that sent tips directly to the trash bin. Whithouse also wants to find out who was running the show and what political interference was done and by whom….while this may not get Kavanaugh off the court…it will forever taint his tenure there and maybe, just maybe we could get the senate to impeach the liar…with the repubs, we’d never get a conviction and removal, but then the whole world will know his seat is not legitimate and that will further destroy the legitimacy of the court…and maybe force some reform there? We can hope….
Not a damn one of them…
Well…I think I may have used this topic before, but I think it bears repeating and repeating and repeating….as the relief checks and child’s tax credit along with help for damn near everyone in the country except the rich starts to roll out, not one damn repub voted for help for regular Americans…they fall all over themselves to give unneeded tax cuts for the 1%, but for you and me? Nothing…and you can see how much they care about us by their posturing and bitching and complaining….and they are really going on and on about the dems doing the relief plan on their own without “bipartisanship” but I think they are just pissed that Schumer and Biden learned something about the repubs during the fight for the ACA…that no matter how much you compromise and put repub ideas into any bill, they are still going to vote against it so why take that step? Why waste that time when people are going homeless and hungry? To me, that is the best thing they are finally realizing…that repubs don’t want to govern and don’t have any ideas that would make life better for most Americans…you just have to look at the 300+ bills that are being proposed in repub controlled state legislatures that will gut the right to vote for anyone who is not a repub…that is what they are all about…so dems, kill the filibuster and get the new voting rights act passed…that will kill all of this repub cheating and make for fair elections again…geez….
Government that works again…
Well….I don’t want to gush about Joe and the changes he is bringing to almost everyone’s lives here in the US, but damn, after 4 years of bullshit lies and feeding all the money to the rich, it feels good that we have someone on our side again….and finally, the dems are bulldozing the repubs for a change and it is for the people, not for the rich. I mean the recovery act is forecast to cut childhood poverty by 50%…I can’t remember when a piece of legislation did something so well for the people who need it…and the cool thing is that the dems are not apologizing for it but are owning it and the repubs don’t know how to act with over 70% of the people supporting it….I think ole moscow mitch made a huge mistake by not allowing any senator to vote for it just as the idiot McCarthy did in the House….how do they explain voting against help for Americans? The media has even started to tear into the repubs when they whine about the “exploding” deficit by reminding them that in just 4 years of trump, the repubs added over 7 trillion dollars to the national debt and they never once bitched about it….so let’s get to work on HR1 to protect the vote in the entire country from repub voter suppression…and if it means getting ride of the filibuster, then just do it and take away the only thing that gets any repub elected…go Joe…
Don’t let them take credit….
Well….after the passage of the wildly popular covid relief bill yesterday, without one repub vote in either the House or Senate, we need to make sure that the repubs don’t use the bill to lie to the American people…after all, they did nothing to pass it or to give input on what should be in it other than say that tax cuts for the rich should have been included. Just yesterday, the bullshit started with a repub senator touting the help the bill would give to small businesses when he voted no on the bill and he made it look like he was part of the approval and was taking credit for it…just another lie that flows from the mouths of repubs as easily as they breathe. So far, the rest of the repubs have been uncharacteristically silent on the bill since even they can see that going against the most popular bill in 40 years is not the smartest thing to do but the flip side of that is that our side needs to shout it that the repubs didn’t have anything do with by their own choice, they were not shut out of the negotiations by the bad old dems, they chose bad faith amendments that would gut the bill and prevent the American people from getting the help they need to survive this pandemic…again I ask this question: with more than 70% support of the bill, who are the repubs representing? This bill is the most progressive one in my lifetime and really does help most of the American people and make their lives easier and is the difference between us and the repubs…all they do is hurt people and try to restrict participation by voter suppression and the hate they level on anyone who is not a white christian is the purpose of their party…I hope Americans understand that there is only one party that cares about them…and it is not the repubs…
Do nothing whiners…
Well…let’s just stop right now trying to equate the two political parties in this country…I’ve had enough of bothsiderism that has been the bane of our exisitence for many, many years and let’s take a look at what each party is doing right now….on the dem side, they are poised to pass one of the greatest pieces of legislation to benefit the majority of Americans that includes direct payments to 80% of the people, tax credits for children,support for state and local governments that are underwater from the pandemic and a myriad of other ways to support our economy as we dig our way out of this mess…on the repub side we only see bitching and complaining and Dr. Suess…no policy suggestions other than tax cuts for the rich and voter suppression…all ways to make this country worse, not better as the dems are trying mightily to do. On the dem side, they are working on a labor bill that would get rid of the right to work laws whose only purpose was to kill unions, and would make it easier to form a union and restrict what employers can do to hurt their workers that want a union. On the repub side…I got nothin…they don’t give a damn about workers or any other Americans so it’s just all bullshit all the time…so don’t tell me the parties are the same, ever again…geez…
It’s always been a grift…
Well…damn, I have been laughing my butt off the past couple of days with what has been going on with the repubs and their war with the idiot trump…a a steady stream of those morons have been heading to the tacky HQ in Florida and kissing idiot boy’s butt for some reason when they could have kicked him to the curb after he instigated the attack on the capitol and was impeached for it…but no, for some damn unfathomable reason almost every one of the repubs is cowering from idiot boy and won’t say a word against him…and what is their reward for embarassing themselves to the world? Just the other day the grifter in chief sent a cease and disist letter to all of the repub organizations trying to raise money for other candidates and told them to stop using his name and likeness on their fundraising letters and e-mails…and the last bit of evidence that politics to idiot boy is just a grift, he then sent out a letter of his own to his cult-like followers to only give money to his super pac, not to any repubs but just his grift organization where he can control the money and use it to attack his perceived enemies while he skims of millions for himself since he is almost broke. It does make me laugh that nothing that the rest of the repubs do to kiss his ass is enough for idiot boy…it’s just his psychopathic need to hurt and control people that the repubs are falling for…geez, don’t they have any self respect? Yeah, we all know the answer to that question…nope…
Georgia is coming for trump…
Well…not sure if you read about it or not but Georgia is coming hard for trump…over the weekend it was announced by the DA who is running the case against trump for election fraud has added a lawyer who specializes in racketeering cases and who has written the book on how to do it…yep, he actually wrote the procedures on how to make a racketeering case and his job is going to be on trump’s case…and there have been other pundits who specialize in the law who have come out to say that the only evidence that is needed to convict trump and his cronies is the phone call that he made to the Secretary of State of Georgia where he asked him to “find” enough votes to give the election to him….and guess who else was in on this election fraud…ole Lindsay Graham and I really think he needs to lawyer up and soon since these state charges are all felonies that carry up to a 20 year sentence….tick tock, trump…they are coming for you….
The covid relief bill passed!
Well…just last night, the senate passed the covid relief bill that takes care of many people who have been destroyed by the pandemic, but of course, not one damn repub voted for it even though the latest polls show that 76% of the entire country supports it…and even 66% of repubs supported it….so again, who the hell are they supposed to be representing? Just on cue, McConnell sent out a big gripe letter with the usual talking points…it’s too expensive, it’s full of things not related to covid, the extension of UI benefits will make people not work…yadda, yadda…hey Moscow mitch….you didn’t bitch at all when you repubs passed that expensive tax cut of 2.0 trillion dollars that only went to the rich so you can just shut the hell up right now. The biggest complaint that the repubs have is that it actually helps Americans and they don’t give a damn about the American people at all and they are pissed that they couldn’t get more tax cuts for the rich included in this bill. Now this bill does include the 1400 dollar payment to people making less than 75K a year so I will get the entire 2 grand relief payment…but that is not why I like this bill…it is an example of what government can accomplish to move the people of this country forward and make it a just a little easier for everyday people…and that is another reason why the repubs hate it…geez…
The crap gets deeper for trump and his cronies…
Well…this one made me grin…just this morning, Rep Eric Swalwell filed suit against the idiot boy, donnie jr., rep Mo Brooks, and rudy for inciting the riot that endanger the lives of the police and members of congress…and he did it as private citizens so the idiot boy and mo brooks can’t hide behind and get their lawyers paid for by the government….and he is asking for damages for the mental anguish and danger the idiot squad put them in when they incited the riot at the “rally” the morning of Jan 6th…if this one goes to trial, there is going to be discovery where all of their phone and other records have to be surrendered to the plaintiffs…and they are going to have to sit down to be questioned on why they lied to the mob to get them to attack the capital. This is the second suit to be filed against these morons by a member of congress and these are going to tie them up in court for years and cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars…if they can even find anyone to defend them…couldn’t happen to a worse bunch of assholes…
