Well…the shortsighted asshole who runs the repub party, Mitch McConnell, is going to jam through another SC justice before the election to replace RBG…never mind that the hypocrite in chief running the senate had a “rule” that said that you can’t approve a new justice in the last year of a president’s term…but we all know that only applies to dem presidents….so I say let him…and then we need to get out to vote to ensure that we take back the WH and senate…then play some damn hardball for a change…and that would mean expanding the SC to 15 justices and appointing liberal justices to all 6 of the new seats…after all, moscow mitch has been tearing the rules of the senate up to jam through unqualified judges for the past 4 years and we need to grow a spine in response. The number of SC justices is set by law, not by the constitution and all we would have to do is pass a new law saying that there are now 15…but, let’s not stop there…if the repubs want to break every convention to get their right wing asshole judges installed to go against the will of the people…especially on Roe v. Wade where 70% of the American people want it left alone…then we need to respond in kind and expand every damn court and blunt the damage that the repubs have done. Then, we need a real investigation of Brett Kavanaugh and impeach the lying sexual assaulter and get him off the court….we need to let the repubs know that if they jam through this RBG replacement, there will be hell to pay….but we need the entire government in our hands to make them pay…so, get out and vote…

RIP RBG
Well…the thing we were all hoping would not happen until after the election has happened…Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg died last night at the age of 87. I am filled with despair today for this country…no one did more to protect the rights of every American than justice Ginsburg did for the last 27 years…she was out in front fiercely protecting our LGBTQ friends and family from the discrimination and hate that the right wing justices tried and tried to codify into law by giving religious people the right to discriminate against them under the guise of “religious freedom” while RBG read the constitution as meaning equal treatment under the law is for everyone, not just rich, white, straight people….she carried the hopes of people all over this country that someone would do something to keep the hard fought gains in equality that people had bled for…and she took it upon her tiny shoulders to carry this country through these dark times but the time came to lift that burden from her shoulders and let her find the peace that we all deserve. RIP RBG….we will all miss you…and thank you for showing us what dignity and perseverence looks like…now it’s time for the rest of us to pick up the fight….
Let’s compare…
Well…have been trying to figure out what to write about today and have finally come up with a topic….there were two town halls held in the presidential campaign this week and they could not have been more different…trump’s was filled with lies and lethargy as he sat on a chair looking like he wanted to be anywhere else than listening to real people with real problems hold his feet to the fire for his incompetence and stupidity. But at Biden’s, we saw what makes Joe the best person to go up against trump. Answering all the questions with details of policy and showing his trademark depth and empathy…and if you didn’t already know it, it showed he really does care for this country and the people in it…and he made sure to emphasize that he would be president for all of the people, not just those in the blue states. Watching Biden’s performance must have sent a few of trump’s cronies into shock since they have been trying so damn hard to label him as feeble minded and out of it…and sent the debate preppers into abject terror of what trump is going to face in the debates. It was so cool to see a normal America on the stage with Biden…not the “American carnage” and hate that trump spews and foments every damn day and have hope that if we elect Biden that things could start back toward normal and not live every day as if we all have PTSD. How could anyone who watched the idiot boy this week think he gives a damn about anyone but himself? That is the contrast that Biden’s campaign need to hammer on every day…and keep it up…
Bill Barr thinks he’s king…
Well…just when you thought Bill Barr couldn’t get any worse, he open’s his mouth and spew more garbage into our air. Just the other day, Barr came out and justified his interference in the Michael Flynn case by saying that he can do anything he wants in any case in the US…and he can investigate anyone he wants and the rules that every AG in history has followed don’t apply to him….he can charge anyone he wants and the FBI, instead of being the independent investigative service that it has always been is his own personal police force that he can use any way he wants and they have a personal duty to him and not the oath they take to defend the constitution. This is some pretty fascist stuff right here and you know whey he said it…he is getting ready to announce bogus investigations into Biden with information that came from a Russian spy and he’s coordinating with Ron Johnson and rudy to get that done before the election…the so called “October surprise” that is supposed to tip the election to the idiot trump. Oh, and to show how batshit crazy Barr is, he went off at a speech at the ultra right wing Hillsdale college here in Michigan that lockdowns and requirement that people wear masks are the greatest threat to civil liberties in the history of the country to which the historian John Meachem replied that he was just so much bullshit, to paraphrase. This is what is at stake in this year’s election…fascism or our democracy….should be an easy choice, huh?
Daniel Dale should get combat pay….
Well…yeah, it has been a busy day and I am running late again…but I did want to talk about the fiasco of a town hall that ABC put on last night with the idiot trump being asked questions by a group of undecided voters…and let me interject right now…if you are an undecided voter after the last 4 years of the trump shitshow, you are not smart enough to vote and probably shouldn’t. Of course trump lied and lied and then lied some more…and that kept Daniel Dale busy, again, oh, probably should say that Dale is the fact checker for CNN who should get combat pay for covering idiot boy every day…but, his work is pretty easy at this point since trump lies about the same thing all the time…pre-existing conditions? The “great” repub plan to cover them is two weeks away just as it was in May, and as it was last year and the year before that…reminds me of the old saw about fusion power…it is always 30 years away and has been for 50 years…this time, the host of the town hall…George S actually called trump on his lies and made it clear that trump and his cronies are in court right now to remove coverage for them as they try to dismantle Obamacare…and that put everyone in shock since he is not known for actually doing journalism….oh, one jaw dropping part of the night was when asked about why he didn’t institute a mask mandate for the entire country, trump asked why Biden didn’t do it…and he had to be reminded that Biden isn’t president and he is…man, the debates are going to be lit if this is a preview of trump’s performance….let’s just leave it by saying that yes, this was shitshow and whoever thought this was a good idea in the WH is probably packing up his desk right now….geez….
Listen up, parents…
Well….yeah, I know…I said I wasn’t going to talk about the idiot trump for a while but this one just popped into my head after talking to my friend K yesterday and how hard the distance learning they have been forced to do is on her and her daughter…and I just want the rest of the parents in this country to understand this one fact as they struggle to juggle their lives and keep their children moving forward…it didn’t have to be this way…almost every other damn country that took the virus seriously and made plans and followed them are returning to their normal lives, schools are opening, people can go out to restaurants and movies, and grandparent can see their grandchildren…but not here…and it is all because of the idiot trump and his incompetence and utter disregard for the lives of Americans…including your children. I’m especially talking to the voters who wanted something different, who didn’t like Hillary and wanted to take the chance on someone else…where did that get you? Have you learned yet that trump and the repubs don’t give a damn about you? Have your lives been disrupted enough that you can help this country throw out the chaos that comes with trump? That’s what needs to happen…we need people of goodwill who made a mistake in 2016 to come back to sanity and make the good man, Joe Biden, the next president…compare the two, who do you think will help us out of this nightmare? trump? If you think that, you are too far gone to be helped or to help us rebuild this country and restore the dignity that every American should want for our country…because of trump, we are laughed at around the world and our influence is at an all time low…our ability to help the world to help ourselves is gone…and it is all trump’s and the repubs fault…remember that when you vote…don’t you want some calm back in your life? That will never happen until trump is gone…vote…
What a selfish prick….
Well…if you read any of the Woodward book or saw any excerpt from it on tv, it is perfectly clear that the idiot trump doesn’t care about anyone but himself….especially since he knew how dangerous the virus was back in Feb but decided not to do anything about it since it would “make him look bad” if he did take it seriously…and this selfishness was on full display at his racist rally in Nevada last night when asked about the virus and that it might spread to his supporters….his answer: “I’m on stage and it’s very far away…and so I’m not at all concerned” …for him that is…but for the people who packed into this factory in a state that has an 8.5% positive test rate and who are NOT far away from each other he just doesn’t give a damn if he gets his jollies and gets to chant “lock him up”…and doesn’t see the irony that it is him that will be locked up when he loses the election. You know, I need to stop writing about this selfish asshole…I am going to consciously start looking for other topics that will help my brain calm itself and not feel so polluted…I think I have PTSD…
some thoughts…
Well… with the wildfires devastating California and Oregon, don’t you think it’s a little strange that the president of the country has not had a word to say about it? Or has done nothing about it…no offer of federal aid, no visit not a frickin peep out the asshole in chief…and we know the reason why…just as he did with the blue states at the start of the pandemic, trump just doesn’t care about any state that doesn’t vote for him…never mind that he is supposed to be president of all of the people of the US, he is just so damn petty that he won’t do anything, leaving blue states to fend for themselves when a major purpose of the federal government is to help the states when they need it…I wonder what the maga assholes think about that when they live in a blue state? They are probably still cheering as they lose their homes to the fire since it will “own the libs”….what a sick, sick way to think. What else? Oh, it’s now clear that rudy and Ron Johnson are actively working with a Russian operative to get fake dirt on Joe Biden…yep, they are working with a Russian spy who is known to spread Putin’s disinformation and talking point and ole rudy and a sitting US senator are eating it up and actively cooperating with him to damage the US…what the hell happened to the repub party? Crap, they are just another arm of Putin’s party these days and care more about what Putin thinks than what is best for the US…now that IS treason when you work with the US’s enemies to harm the US….god, I hate these guys…more and more every day….
Like Churchill? No damn way…
Well…the ridiculous liar has a new talking point about why he continuously lied to the American people about the severity of the virus…and, get this, he is comparing himself to Winston Churchill, saying that Churchill lied to the English people during WWII to “soften the blow” of bad news. We all know that the idiot trump doesn’t know anything about anything and history is one of his worst subjects…I mean taking the airports in the revolutionary War? What Churchill did was not to lie at all but the make sure that the English people knew how hard it was going to be after the rest of Europe fell and that they knew the stakes…and told the unvarnished truth that it was going to be the hardest thing any of them had ever done and there were going to be sacrifices of English lives if the country and the world were going to survive Hitler. He never said “Hitler is going to go away in the spring”….or “Hitler is under control and we may lose 15 people” like the idiot did…one thing we all have to remember is Churchill never said “I don’t take any responsibility at all” as the idiot did when asked about the covid response or lack of one that he really WAS responsible for. How delusional do you have to be to compare the complete failure that trump is to a leader who led his country through WWII and helped win the war against fascism? trump delusional….and that is going to be the new descriptor for the most delusional person possible….trump delusional…fitting…
trump knew and, of course, he lied…
Well….why isn’t trump in jail right now? With the revelations from the Woodward book and tapes that he knew how dangerous the virus is and still went out every damn day for months telling people it would just “go away” and basically stopped doing anything to keep people safe, isn’t this a crime? 200,000 people dead and estimates that another 200,000 could die before the end of the year and there are still no consequences for the idiot boy….he’s still flying around the country putting on his superspreader rallies where no one wears a mask and they are jammed in should to shoulder…just last night he brought that bullshit to Michigan and in two weeks we’ll see a huge spike in cases that will keep our state partially closed for months more just so the idiot in chief can get his jollies from his spittle flecked lie fests…and I am damn tired of it…I want our state to continue to get back to normal but this event means that there will be no pool shooting until next year….and this “rally” was illegal but when did illegality mean anything to any repub? I’m just so damn tired of trump and his asshole followers shitting all over this country…people, please get out and vote…they all need to be gone…
