Well…I really do wonder if most of the media are just stupid or if they are getting paid off to push the repub candidates. Just today, Andrea Mitchell went on her show to tout the fact that the dementia suffering trump raised 45 million dollars in the last quarter of 2019 and that it is more than any dem candidate and the dems are in trouble…yadda yadda…first…apple and damn oranges Andrea…trump is raising money for the general election while the dems are raising it for the primary season but, lets do some math and lump all of the dems together and see what the results are…with just the three that have reported so far, the dems have raised over 77 million dollars and that is without either Biden or Warren included…and their number should be close to 25 million each so, again, do we need to give the media a math lesson? Which is larger, dementia sufferer trump’s 45 million or 77 million+50 million? I’ll give you a guess but just one…yep, you got it…127 million is larger than 45 million but it seems that the media doesn’t get it. I think it’s just more of the “horserace” bullshit that the media has to push to keep the right wingers happy and continue to get access to the repubs…and that’s it….this isn’t a damn horserace, it’s the future of our country and the future of truth in our country…media, quit this bullshit and report dementia trump’s fundraising as anemic as it is….something like “dems smash trump in fundraising” would do it….and the bonus? It’s the truth so it’s a two-fer….geez….

The dems need to get in front…
Well…with the constant lies coming from the repubs and their tax cut exploding the budget deficit which is on track to hit a trillion…yep, with a t next year, the dems need to start hammering home the message of the repubs stealing every damn thing and giving it to the rich…and not caring about the deficit until they lose next year…then you will hear the typical yammering that nothing can be done about it but cut social programs that the 99% have paid for. And they need to do it now, not next year and they need to keep hammering it every damn time they get asked any question from any reporter…like: “you know what is going to happen when we win next year, the repubs are going to then get really concerned about the deficit and try to destroy SS and Medicare to pay for it…just remember, they are the ones who created the deficit with their tax cuts for the rich and now they whine that something needs to be done”….and the same goes with the “great” economy that is being propped up by the fed by them pouring trillions of dollars of no cost loans to the big banks so they can continue to buy stocks and support the unsustainable prices that we see now…and the dems need to point out that this economy is a house of cards that is going to come crashing down when this handout to the banks ends. Most of all, though, we need message discipline from our side where we all talk about the same facts about the economy, the environment, and every other subject that the public cares about…and the progressive ideas that will make life better for the 99% and not the 1% who have stolen most of this country with the repubs help….
Every damn economist knew…except for right wing hacks…
Well…damn, I can’t find the article where I read this earlier today so I’ll just have to wing it…as the title says, every respected mainstream economist predicted that “trade wars are easy to win” was one of the most boneheaded statements in the litany of boneheaded statements by the idiot in chief….the latest government assessment shows that idiot boy’s tariffs have resulted in just what good economists said it would…job losses in manufacturing and higher costs for basically everything for the American consumer…and this is compounded by the generational loss of agricultural markets across the world that have been destroyed by retaliation by the Chinese and their switch to south American markets for soybeans, corn, and other products. And now we have the moron in chief today opening his stupid hole to threaten even more tariffs that will do even more damage to the economy…but do we hear a peep from the repubs? Nope…and this truly shows the only people they give a damn about are the people who can write them million dollar checks for bribes…oh, I mean campaign contributions. I would say that I can’t believe how stupid these folks are on the economy but I have been watching the repubs do this stupid shit for decades now and they are never held to account…why would now be any different?
What a damn baby…
Well…sitting here trying to recover from doing two rides today and just read the most ridiculous article about the most ridiculous person ever to be installed as president…we have a true baby as president, there is no other description…over the past day or so, the idiot trump and his demon spawn have been going on and on about what they are bleating is a conspiracy against the idiot in chief…and you know why that is? The Canadian broadcast company ran an edited version of “Home Alone 2” where idiot boy had a small cameo part but the CBC edited it out…with the perfectly rational explanation that they wanted to make room for more commercials and the cameo really had nothing to do with the plot…so, of course, the right wing snowflakes in this country just know it was a conspiracy against trump since the Canadians hate him and will do anything to erase him from his rightful place as a huuuuuge star….now, how damn ridiculous is that? Especially since the edit was done in 2014 and the edited version has been shown every year since then. but that doesn’t matter to the professional victims on the right…who are just such a huge damn bunch of whiny babies that I wonder how they do anything else…oh, that’s right, they don’t…they just whine and whine and whine…..cripes…
“I never understood wind…”
Well…just got back from running errands that have finished up everything I have to do before the holiday, and as I wait for the temp to come up so I can ride without a stocking hat, I just had to comment on the idiot in chief’s comments at another of his damn rallies that you and I are paying for. As we all know from the idiot’s speeches and actions on renewable energy, he just hates wind and solar with a passion that is just not understandable…okay, it is when you know that repubs everywhere hate it, too…and it has been a platform plank of theirs forever…but just yesterday, the idiot was just jaw droppingly stupid when he went off on a rant where he said he “never understood wind…but I know windmills very much…I have studied it better than anybody…when they are manufactured, tremendous fumes and gasses are spewing into the atmosphere…you know we have a world, right?” Okay…first, this idiot has never studied anything in his life except his daughter’s body…and knows absolutely nothing about “windmills”….especially since a windmill is a wind powered machine that is used to mill grain…hence the word “windmill” and it is not a wind powered generator that is used to produce electricity. Second, almost every damn manufacturing process emits some gasses to the atmosphere…but in the lifecycle of wind generators, even with manufacturing factored in their pollution is less than .1% of a coal fired plant for the same amount of generation capacity…so it is painfully obvious that he hasn’t studied this or anything else. Then, moron boy went on to dredge up his old rant about “windmills” are going to kill all the birds but especially bald eagles, like they are bald eagle seeking robots that stride the land looking for eagles to mash with their blades….and yes, I will admit that there are birds killed by wind turbines, but the numbers are no more than against any other building that is built where birds fly…and to put the deaths in context, even it’s a million birds, cats kill billions of birds every year and no one is saying to kill all of the cats to protect the birds…or to tear down every city where birds fly. If anyone else had given this disjointed rant, they would have been referred to a psychiatrist to get them some help…but the repubs just keep on saying this level of stupidity/delusion is just peachy with them…
They found their spine….
Well….as you know I’m not a religious person and I have railed at the hypocrisy of the evangelical movement…wholeheartedly supporting the amoral idiot trump just to get judges who would enshrine their hate for a generation…but, just yesterday, the evangelical magazine Christianity Today, a magazine started by Billy Graham, published a scathing editorial calling for trump’s removal from office for his amorality and criminality…but he goes on to say that trump needs to go so that “they” can be saved…that the damage they are doing to their faith by supporting this waste of a human being will resonate for a generation or more and will do more damage than any secular attacks…and he goes on to remind them who they really serve…and it’s not supposed to be this amoral piece of shit trump but the god they profess to follow and love. But, this is only one publication and only one voice and my take is “what took you so long?” It has been clear for three years now…and even longer…who trump is and it hasn’t mattered at all to these folks who are still comparing trump to Jesus as recently as Wednesday during the impeachment debate. So, as the old saying goes “actions speak louder than words” so what are you folks in that community going to do about it? Are you still going to support the criminal trump or are you going to live by the principles that trump craps on every day? I’m not holding my breath…
Damn, I was right about something…
Well….okay, I don’t get to say this too often but it feels good when I can….Damn, I was right about something…after the impeachment votes last night, Nancy Pelosi came out and alluded to something that I wrote about earlier…that she may delay sending the impeachment articles to the senate until she is sure that there will be a fair trial there…and by fair she means that not one rigged by moscow mitch to guarantee that the idiot trump is not removed even though he is an admitted criminal. I know she couched it in more vague language that I would have, saying that she needs to know what the playing field looked like before she could put together the team to present the prosecution, but Adam Schiff made it abundantly clear that moscow mitch is rigging the trial and that will be a consideration whether or not the articles will be sent. Now, I don’t know how much leverage this gives Nancy but the idea that they can keep hammering moscow mitch in the press for the corrupt asshole he is must be appealing since they have little else they can do. We’ll see if moscow mitch doubles down on his corruption this morning since he is having a press conference this morning at 9:30….that should be good…
It’s impeachment day…one last chance repubs…
Well…today is the day that the totally unfit lying cheater is going to be impeached for his total obstruction of the lawful duty of the House to do it’s job of oversight of the executive branch…and covering up his crimes and extortion in Ukraine to get them to help him cheat in the 2020 election…and you know I have talked about the 50 other things he could be impeached for…I mean, paying a 2 million dollar fine for using his “charity” as a slush fund for his campaign, something that should be enough to throw anyone out of office but his protectors in the senate are just as corrupt so he will escape conviction and removal. I have only one thing to say to the repubs that are fully behind trump and his criminality…today is your last chance…your last chance to uphold your oath to the constitution…your last chance to show that you put the country ahead of your own power and party…and your last chance to show you are a true patriot, no matter what the consequences. This is something that only one of the parties in this country understands…and it is the dems to a person who understand the danger that trump and his criminality poses to this country and even those in trump leaning districts are going to do their duty even though it may mean they will lose their seats in 2020. What this means to us in the fact based world is that we need to work even harder to protect these protectors of the constitution and to make sure that the idiot trump’s enablers, Moscow Mitch and Lindsey Graham are sent to the scrap heap where they belong…and their legacies are only that the two of them helped trump damage this country every damn day….they all need to go if they can’t escape the cult of the repub party….this is the last time I’ll say this…impeach!
Putin got everything he wanted…
Well….sitting here waiting to go out and get my hair cut and thought I’d talk about how successful Putin’s operation about Ukraine has been…but first, Russian state tv has been openly mocking the idiot trump for being the stupid dupe that he is and for doing Russia’s work in the Ukraine…they have even taken to saying they have a place for trump to escape to after he is out of office so he can avoid criminal prosecution…just like the corrupt past president of Ukraine did when the people there rose up and threw him out. Ukraine experts from around the world are marveling at how Putin has accomplished his entire Ukraine wish list with trump and his cronies help….he has gotten Giuliani and his criminal conspiracy to continue to cast doubt on the new Ukraine regime’s legitimacy by his constant hammering about corruption there…and ole Rudy has re elevated all of the corrupt, Russian backed conspirators that were thrown out when they were found to be the criminals they are…and by trump telegraphing his Russia bias by not inviting the Ukrainian president to the oval office, and by inviting Lavrov to grin and continue to spread the lies that it was Ukraine and not Russia that interfered in the 2016 election, Putin got exactly the diversion he planned and used the stupident to reinforce those lies…and trump just grinned along not knowing or caring what it looked like to the people of Ukraine…just as long as it benefitted him personally. Man, I can’t wait for this moron to be gone…
Don’t send the articles…
Well….with the promises by “Moscow” Mitch McConnell that he is going to rig the impeachment trial in the senate and “coordinate” everything with the defendant, I think the dems should not play his game and keep the articles of impeachment in the House…and re-open the investigations into trump and his minions criminality. If they want to not do their duty to the constitution and protect this country, we don’t need to go along with it…we can drag the impeachment out until the election if necessary and continue to expose just how corrupt trump and the repubs are…and that would allow us time to get subpoenas through the courts…and even if the trump packed courts destroy the constitution by refusing to enforce them, the process will expose the black heart of the repub party and give us a better chance to win in 2020. I think what is necessary now is to use all of the tools that we have available to take the long view…the impeachment inquiry hasn’t hurt the dems one bit and being able to show that we are the serious party just trying to protect this country will resonate with the people in our party that we need to turn out in 2020….and if we do turn out, we will win…
