Well…you know, I have mixed feelings about the news stories that almost all trump supporters don’t believe that the coronavirus is real and are not going to take any precautions at all since they have been told by their savior and idiot trump that, if there is a virus, the virus is no worse than the flu and there have only been a few cases anyway…and the numbers are being inflated by the dems to hurt trump’s election chances in the fall. So, in my sardonic brain, that means that the outbreak is going to be worse for these idiots when it comes…I wonder what the excuse from trump will be when he has to cancel one of his hate rallies to prevent the spread of the virus? And I wonder what lie they will tell his stupid supporters to explain it? Look, I don’t normally wish anyone ill but cripes, maybe a little thinning of the stupid herd would be a good thing…no, that’s just wrong…that just doesn’t fit into my belief system to wish anyone death by stupidity….or to their families who would just be collateral damage from stupidity…maybe, finally, some people on the right in this country will finally see that government is not “the problem” and has a role to play to keep us all safe from pandemics….but it has to be be competent government…not the one we have now…

538 says it’s going to be Joe…
Well…isn’t it a breath of fresh air to not talk about the idiot trump for a change? After the wins on super Tuesday and with the pile of endorsements he has gotten just before an since then, the polling site 538 is giving Joe Biden a 94% chance of winning the dem nomination for president when you include the latest polling out of the remaining states. While Joe was not my first choice, I can get on board with this fundamentally decent man who we can count on to do the right thing where the country is concerned…and to follow the law…and to not lie all the damn time…and to be competent in appointing judges and his cabinet…not like the idiot who squats in the WH. One thing that does need to happen, though, is that some of the bigwigs in the dem party need to take him aside and destroy the delusion he has that there are people on the right he can work with…there are none and he needs to be ready to govern that way…he needs to make sure that he can get things done without them and that means we need to take the senate back, too, along with keeping the House…one other thing he needs to do is to draft Elizabeth Warren and the other wonderful candidates we had to craft the platform to be presented at the convention this summer…that will at least be a step to mending the fractures that still exist in our party…I will say thank you to Bernie for his comments the other day that he will support whom ever the candidate is…now he needs to get that word out to the berniebros who are grousing and planning to sit out the election that they need to put the country first, that winning this election is more important than their hurt feelings…there is plenty of time to bring this all together and crush idiot boy in the fall…and that has to be our message from here on out…
Elizabeth Warren drops out…
Well….the news that came out this morning that Liz is dropping out of the race for the dem nomination sure saddens me…I have been a huge fan of hers since she first came on the scene and started to get national attention…her intelligence, drive, and heart was a breath of fresh air from the same old politics as usual and just listening to her you could feel her passion for making this country a better place for everyone….and she was the anti trump in every way…fair, curious, accomplished, and with great ideas to move this country forward…and tough as nails when need be…I am going to miss her holding the rest of the candidates accountable and I really hope that there is a place for her as we go forward…she has the ideas we need to start erasing the stain of trump and his cronies and the stench they are going to leave on this country…look, I would have voted for her in a minute in the general election…but, since she didn’t make it, I will vote for whomever the dem nominee is…and I won’t “hold my nose” like some of the whiners whose candidate also didn’t make it…and, I will fully support our nominee since the alternative is just too awful to conceive…thanks Liz….
So, Roberts is just a repub hack…who knew?
Well….I guess John Roberts has a problem with getting the fee fees of the SC hurt after Chuck Schumer quoted Kavanaugh’s rant during his confirmation hearing saying that there would be payback if they didn’t vote for him…and all Schumer was trying to say is if this court ignores precedent and makes up law to ban abortion and overturn Roe, there will be electoral consequences..which is the truth. So, the hack can take all of the idiot trump’s threats to everyone and his shredding of the constitution, but if Chuck tells the truth, that is just too much and Roberts has to speak up…something that is never done by the sitting chief justice and reveals that Roberts is just a repub hack who is not the “caller of balls and strikes” as he said in his confirmation hearing but just another liar on the right who is using his court as a way to impose the ultra right wing nonsense that can’t get passed by the house and senate on the country who doesn’t want it. Especially in this case, more than 70% of the country wants Roe maintained and the access to safe abortion protected…but that doesn’t matter to this hack…he is going to be remembered as the justice who ruined the court’s reputation as being and honest arbiter of the law and turned it into just another corrupt part of the right wing machine…nice job Johnny boy….
Super Tuesday part two…
Well…the voting is over and it appears that Joe Biden is the big winner in the primaries from yesterday….just a couple of weeks ago, the pundits were all saying his candidacy was dead and Bernie was going to take the nom easily…but, guess what? The voters had other ideas and those who wanted someone who could beat trump rose up and decided that Joe was the one…and it looks like his votes were a cross section of America…bolstered by AA voters, Latinos, and even some young people who are just so damn tired of the idiot trump that they voted for pragmatism instead of progressivism. I feel a little bad that Liz didn’t do better but what a VP candidate she would make…with Joe setting the agenda and then Liz doing what she does…making a plan for that. I’m not sure if we can count on Bernie’s supporters for the general with his comments last night that were basically a rant against people in the dem party who didn’t choose him…not a good look with all of the anger..but that is Bernie and if Joe wins, we need outreach to his supporters to get some of them on board….the hard core Bernie supporters are gone…they are almost as much of cultists as trump supporters are…okay, no…that’s not right..they are tired of the status quo and they feel Bernie can deliver change that no one else can….but, if they don’t come along, there may be no change but for the worse if trump steals another election. That has got to be the message to them…that they are welcome and Bernie’s ideas are welcome…we are the big tent party after all and should welcome anyone who can help…this is going to get even more interesting in the next month or so…next we need Bloomberg gone but not his money…if it used to defeat the idiot trump….
Super Tuesday…
Well…the process for picking a dem candidate is going to get a big jolt today with the super Tuesday primaries across the country that will award over a thousand delegates toward the 1600 or so that are needed for the nom….and we had three candidates drop out over the past couple of days after the the results of the SC primary saw Joe Biden win by a large margin….look, you know my choice is Liz just because she has the policy chops and the steel to get things done for our progressive agenda…okay, what is called progressive these days was mainstream stuff just a generation ago…I mean, not locking kids up in cages? Up until the idiot trump that was something everyone was in agreement with…and respecting the constitution? The only party that still does that is ours and who thought the flag wavers on the other side would abandon that? Okay, I did…they are all craven liars who do nothing but hate…one thing I have to stress and I can’t stress it enough to the Bernie bros and the Warrenites is that if your candidate doesn’t win the nom, remember what’s at stake and stop the damn whining about sitting this one out if your person doesn’t win…any one of our candidates is light years better than idiot boy…and you know that the winner is going to welcome ideas and policy from those who didn’t win…we are all in this together and the overaching goal has to be to beat trump…cripes, learn how to compromise people…the country is at stake and you’re going to throw a hissy fit? That’s the best way to ensure that none of our ideas to make this country better get enacted…so, suck it up and pull together to remove the stain of trump and his cronies….
“Vulture” capitalism has to go…
Well….do you miss Sears, K-mart, Toys r Us, and any of the other retail operations that were doing perfectly fine until what I call “vulture” capitalists swoop in and buy companies across this country with no intent of keeping them going concerns but to strip them, sell off the parts, and walk away with millions for just a few people? This usually leaves the employees holding the bag when their healthcare and pensions disappear and they are left with maybe 10 cents on the dollar if even that much…and now, the vultures are circling around our food supply with many of these “capitalist” VC firms buying up small and large farms to hold for a while until they can figure out how to strip mine these businesses, too….and now especially with the explosion of farm bankruptcies caused by idiot boy’s tariffs, the vultures are being handed another part of this country with no concern for the damage that they have done everywhere else they have been…and this damage is not only limited to the farms they are buying, but when they consolidate small farms into large ones, they sure aren’t going to buy supplies from the local stores that supported the family farms but they will look for national contracts from other supply behemoths that they can squeeze every penny out of from the economy of scale….so a system that was working perfectly fine for small farmers until trump and these vultures came along is going to be destroyed just so the 1% can steal even more money from the rest of us….this is one of the reasons why inequality has ballooned in this country and has to be ended by any means necessary since VC really serves no role other than to transfer wealth to the 1%….okay, candidates, what’s the plan to fix this?
It’s still all about him…
Well…with taking the day off of working around here, I find I have time on my hands so I thought I’d come here for another one early with all of the economic stuff happening right now….now, you’d think with the world on the brink of a global meltdown that the idiot trump would have an “all hands on deck” moment as Obama did during the 2008 crash and would be leading a team to formulate a response…but, you’d be wrong…with crazy assed tweets this morning, idiot boy is still making it all about him…that the virus and the concern that people all over the world have about it’s effect is just a “liberal” attack on his greatness and to defeat him in the fall election…and it’s all one big conspiracy with business, stock traders, economists, and everyone else in the world in on it since they just can’t stand his greatness and are jealous of his accomplishments. Yeah, that’s a whole new level of crazy and it’s going to get worse since the idiot can’t take anyone trying to get him to read information and act on it…and that is what’s necessary to avoid a crisis…and his virus “czar”, Mike Pence has nothing on his calendar today that has anything to do with the virus response that is needed…just political bullshit at CPAC…oh, hey guys…and I mean you idiots in the WH…the dow is down another 900 points in the first hour of trading this morning as the bad economic piles up from across the world….I wonder if a tweet from idiot boy can fix that? Okay, I was wrong…in the minute it took me to post this the dow dropped another 200 points so now it’s down by almost 1100 points….tick tock, trump….
According to trump, he should resign…
Well….have been busy today and just got caught up on the news on my twitter feed and all I can say is yow! Another 1100 point drop for the Dow today bringing the week’s bloodbath to over 3000 points…something that has never been seen in the history of the country…I guess the traders and businesses are showing that they know that trump and his cronies are in no way qualified to handle the coronavirus and it is going to get much, much worse before it gets better…that puts the stock market in official correction territory by losing 10% of it’s value…and that has happened not over months but over the past 4 days…and we still have another day this week…I don’t know if idiot boy’s memory is gone but just a few years ago he spouted off at Obama, saying that “if the dow drops 1,000 points in two days the president should immediately be impeached”….and I think there is another one where he said that if he were president and that happened, he would resign….so, donnie, what’s keeping you from it? You’ve been running on Obama’s economy and the huge deficits that your repub cronies helped create but now it looks like the happy fun times are over and you just don’t have the people or smarts to do anything about it….so, moron, resign since you are just a rotting stain on this country and the stench is spreading everywhere….hey, the weekend is coming…any bets on if idiot boy goes golfing?
The “messaging” is most important?
Well…this is what you get when you have radical idiots running the WH who don’t believe in science…have you heard of one action that these morons are going to take to help prevent the spread of the coronavirus? Nope, me neither….but boy, they are sure concerned with the “messaging” about the virus…..much more than they are the about virus itself, muzzling all of the people in the CDC and the NIH and telling the world that every statement has to be approved by idiot junior pence…even though he is too damn dumb to understand anything that the scientists are saying…and how much do you want to bet that this bottleneck is going to help the virus spread instead of contain it when immediate action is needed. this is typical idiot trump bullshit…he has always cared more about himself and what people are saying about him than doing his damn job…just like a teenager having the mean girls talk about him…trump is going to get people killed with his bullshit and yet every damn repub still backs him…what a damn cult….
