Well…if you need another example of how destructive the repub party has become…and you really shouldn’t…just look at the response of the two parties to the potential of a coronavirus outbreak here in the US. The dems have come out in agreement with the professionals in the government health community (what few of them are left) that we should start to prepare just in case the worst happens…which is how every damn outbreak in the country has been handled until idiot boy trump and his minions were installed by Putin…very reasonable by my estimation…but the response of the repubs and the pundits on the right are all filtered through a political lens that says that there is no problem, it’s just the dems trying to scare us for political gain and to hurt the idiot boy…so I guess that the dems got to every investor and trader on Wall Street and forced them to sell their stocks? And the dems forced ole Rushbo to call this deadly virus “just an exaggerated cold” that no one has to worry about? And the dems forced China to quarantine at least 5 major cities and shut down factories, schools, and offices for no reason other than to make trump look bad? This is the problem when your entire world is based on conspiracy theories and lies…those on the right can no longer see what is true and by minimizing the threat, they are preventing the basic steps necessary to mitigate the effects if there is a huge outbreak…let’s just ask on simple question: do the dems control the CDC, the NIH or the funding for these essential pandemic fighters? Nope, it’s all on the morons including the moron in chief and they will continue to live in their delusions as the country waits for the worst…

Hey trump lovers, how’s your 401K today?
Well…yeah, that’s a recycled title….did one of these a few months back but had to do another one today with the Dow down another 400 points after yesterday’s selloff of 1100 points…so that makes a 5 1/2 percent loss in just two days…if you had 100K in yours you now only have 94,500 dollars…I know I sometimes harp on the stock market here but it’s only because the idiot trump thinks it’s the be all and end all to the economy’s health…so you gloat when it goes up, so now you have to take the crap when it falls…especially when it is trump’s lack of concern that the coronavirus is even serious…saying “everything will be fine when April comes” and somehow the magic of the calendar changing will stop the virus from infecting anyone else while trump decimates funding for the NIH and the CDC. He also cut the US contribution to the WHO, the organization that is at the forefront of the fight against this virus….and, I said yesterday, people are going to die because trump and his cronies are shortsighted assholes and are using cuts in funding to push their anti science bullshit…does that matter to you trumpies? Yeah…probably not…after all, the people dying so far are “foreigners” and who cares about them?
The stock market weighs in…
Well…have been busy this morning and just finished up my chores for the day but I needed to come here and weigh in on the orange idiot’s ego stroking tour of India while the deadly new virus explodes around the world. Gee…I wonder if cutting funds for the NHS and the CDC is a good idea right now…yeah, we know the answer to that one…the stupident hates science and facts so he thinks that any government agency that deals in that is not necessary and an easy place to cut money so he can give it to the military…I wonder if the military has virus targeting bombs and missiles? So now, the stock market, that trump trots out to lie and say the economy is doing great, is falling like a rock…down over 1,000 points already today as business weighs in on the incompetence of trump and his minions and the prospect that not one damn person that idiot boy has appointed has any idea how to deal with any real emergency…just the ones that trump fabricates in his moldering brain. And what do we get from trump? Standing in front of the Taj Mahal with the stupid grin on his face for a photo op while his incompetence kills people around the world. It is going to get much, much worse since he is too stupid to understand anything…remember that this fall…it could be your family and friends that trump is killing….
I understand Bernie’s appeal….
Well…let’s get this straight right up front…Bernie calling himself a “Democratic Socialist” is just a label that I think he should stop using…and the label isn’t descriptive of his policies which are really mainstream dem from only a decade or so ago…and they were normal from a decade or two ago before the dems started their rightward slide under Clinton. With his performance and win in Nevada, he is the front runner right now and I can understand his appeal…after decades of the same old bullshit incremental change that the dems have tried, to be blocked at every turn by unscrupulous repubs, the people on our side are tired of small ideas, are tired of the rich running the show and getting whatever they want, and are tired of us having no voice as business as usual happens to us. What we need now is a big vision and big ideas and that is why young people are flocking to Bernie…they are the ones who are bearing the brunt of inequality and lessened opportunity that the repubs have forced on them…and they want someone who will at least listen and try to make their lives better, something that will never happen with the repubs in charge….and can you imagine a ticket with Bernie and Liz on it? Or Bernie and Amy? Now that would be something to see…Liz taking Pence apart in a debate as Bernie would with the idiot trump….but I am going to harp on this again…vote for the dem no matter who it is…no sulking Bernie Bros or anyone else if you person doesn’t earn the nomination…the stakes are too high for sitting in the corner and not voting because your favorite didn’t get there…and we need the senate back so get the hell out and vote as if your life depends on it…it really does…
Where the hell are Pelosi and Schiff?
Well….not sure if you heard yet that the idiot trump fired the DNI Joseph McGuire for following the law and reporting to the House intelligence committee that the Russians are it again…they are doing everything they can to help trump…again…and surprise this is just part of a large conspiracy with the repubs to let Putin do it…with McConnell, Nunes, Goetz, and the rest of them all in on working with the Russians to hurt our country for the dictator trump. My question right now is: where the hell are Pelosi and Schiff? The subpoenas should be flying for everyone who is involved in this criminal enterprise, and yet all we hear from Pelosi is just some innocuous tweet and not the all out hair on fire reaction that we should be seeing from both of them. I just can’t write about this anymore…at least today…our country is being attacked and no one is doing a damn thing about it….
It’s a knife fight…
Well…as per normal, I didn’t watch the dem debate last night but I have been reading about it and yow! I guess Mike Bloomberg thought his money would protect him from attacks from the other candidates but it really, really didn’t…starting with Liz, he was punched from all sides and knifed for good measure with no response but to show his disdain for having his rich ass questioned when he feels like his money should shield him from everything…and you know the one thing I find striking about Mikey is how much he is like the idiot trump…from his mistreatment of women and minorities to not releasing his tax returns (and using the trump defense that they are just too complicated to release), to having everyone he comes into contact with required to sign NDA’s, and being accused of silencing women he has harassed using those same NDA’s, he just appears to be another rich guy who thinks the rules don’t apply to him and people should just bow down to him because he is rich…but the others on the stage last night weren’t having it and I really hope that they have damaged him enough so he can’t buy the nomination…the last thing we need on our side is repub lite when we need true progressives to repair the damage the repubs have done over the past thirty years…
Barr is not resigning…
Well….okay, let’s cut through the bullshit and get to the point…I have read all of the breathless reports that the corrupt Bill Barr is “thinking” of resigning and want to stop the wishful thinking right now….Barr is not resigning…this is all part of the coordination with the WH to take the heat off Barr for their destruction of the justice department…it has nothing to do with Barr growing a conscience since he has not shown one throughout his career…it is all about misdirection and showing the new “shiny object” to the media so they will stop writing about Barr’s corruption of the justice system…after all, Barr doesn’t care about his legacy since he has cemented his place as a right wing hero and is just drooling about getting his hands on some of that sweet sweet wingnut welfare…and has stated openly that he doesn’t care about his legacy, saying that “everyone dies” and the who cares? So, let’s stop all of the speculation…Barr isn’t going anywhere…
Crony capitalism at it’s worst…
Well…if it wasn’t already clear that the only purpose of any repub administration is to loot as much money as they can from yours and my tax dollars, you just have to look at the contracts being let for the idiot boy’s wall….just because the idiot stood up and brayed that the wall was an “emergency”, the rest of the government run by repubs is going along with the plunder and ignoring all of the purchasing rules that apply to government contracts. Just yesterday, it was reported that trump just gave out a contract to build 100 miles of his idiot wall for a billion dollars…yep, and the worst part is that there were no reviews, no competitive bidding and no compliance to any rules that every other contract has to meet…and this one shows the worst of crony capitalism…being given to a politically connected repub whose company has a total of 3 employees…yep, a billion dollar contract to a company that essentially doesn’t exist except in the fevered brain of the moron in chief….I wonder if this is the same company that got a 300 million dollar contract to fix the electrical grid in PR but didn’t do any work at all and just stole a hundred million dollars before their contract was terminated? There is a reason there are rules for government procurement…in every damn repub administration they treat the government like their own piggy bank to reward their friends and steal as much as they can….keep it up, folks…the day is coming when honest people will be running the government and there will be hell to pay….
Barr really, really has to go…
Well…running a little late getting here for this one today and I have good reasons for it that I’ll get to later…first, another day, another revelation that Bill Barr has used his position to try to help trump instead of upholding the law…late last year, a Turkish bank with close ties to Turkey’s strongman was under investigation for a multitude of crimes including money laundering and helping Iran get around the UN sanctions it was under for it’s nuclear program…and of course Erdogan didn’t like that so he called the idiot trump, knowing that he is a patsy who can be taken advantage of, and asked him to kill the investigation before indictments could be handed down by the SDNY…and, of course, idiot boy called up his fixer Barr and told him to kill the investigation which Barr tried mightily to do but the prosecutors at SDNY were having none of that since they had spent years building the case and it was clear that the bank was breaking the law….so before Barr could fire anyone in the SDNY office, they filed the indictments and got the case into the courts…now, from what we’ve seen lately, that doesn’t matter to Barr at all…if it benefits trump or his cronies, there is nothing Barr won’t do…and that makes me call for his resignation…again…along with 1,100 former prosecutors who signed a letter saying that Barr is corrupting the justice system and has to go….and now….
NASCAR can go right to hell…
Well…I knew that the owners of nascar and most of the drivers are trump loving morons and that was shown when he was installed and drivers like Kesolowski and Bowyer expressed their glee on twitter and I responded to them with a question…” you have young kids, would you point to trump as a role model for them?” Of course, they couldn’t defend it so they didn’t respond…and we have seen the heads of nascar, the France family, palling around with the idiot boy and wearing their MAGA hats… we’ve even seen driver Austin Dillon giving the white power “OK” hand signal in the intros to the races…so nascar is a cesspool of trump supporting, entitled, right wing assholes…even with that, I have been ignoring those facts since I am still a race fan and wanted to see the races, but, with the invite of the asshole in chief to be grand marshal of the Daytona 500 tomorrow, I have reached my breaking point…normalizing trump with this type of event is something I will not be part of…so I will not be watching the 500 tomorrow…and, being honest, I have been losing my interest in nascar for years now and have basically used the races for background noise as I take a nap on Sunday afternoons…hence the term that I use, “napcar” to describe the series. I hope the trump loving France family enjoys their little bubble of right wing assholes…but for a lot of the rest of us, nascar is dead to us with this last straw….great way to grow the series, morons…
