Well…as days go by the repubs get more and more sick in their treatment of women who seek to use their constitutional right to control their bodies and seek an abortion. Starting with Utah, I think, who just recently passes a new law that says that women having an abortion must undergo general anathesia when the procedure is being performed….never mind that this decision should be between the doctor and their patient, these idiots have just made it dangerous to get an abortion when it is one of the safest medical procedures that is done…much safer than colonoscopies even…now we have Arizona joining in on the hurt women bandwagon by ignoring the FDA and legislating the dosage of the common abortion drug. Over time, as drugs are used and more data is available, doctors and the FDA will frequently change the dosing recommendations to reflect the usage data. That is just what happened with the most commonly used abortion drug, doctors have tried lower doses to good effect, that the side effects are greatly reduced by the lower doses…but, what do the sadist, misogynists repubs do then? They pass a law in Arizona that forces doctors to prescribe the drug at the old dosage levels…and the only reason for that is that they truly want to punish women for getting abortion by making sure they get sick from the drug. What the hell is wrong with these assholes? And, what is wrong with the people who vote for this crap? Nevermind that this law is unconstitutional and comes from the idiots who supposedly revere the document, what business is it of theirs telling doctors what to do? What’s next? Do they bring back bleeding people to cure them of diseases? Geez….

Just some stuff…
Well….even with all that is going on in politics, I haven’t been able to distill things down to a single topic so I think I’ll just noodle around and see where it goes….had to call the guys back to work on the furnace again and this time they replaced the brain that runs the thing…has been working since they left so I have my fingers crossed….it has been interesting this week to see that ole Donald has started to self destruct and show his know nothingness on basically every topic…from foreign policy to economics, his ignorance is just breathtaking and people are starting to catch on….and, the thing we have to remember is that even if he is the candidate, his own party really doesn’t like him much with his unfavorables being in the 60% range…and no one has ever been elected with them that high…his only support is within his rabid racist base and he has no appeal to the independents that are needed to win….I guess he appeals to the same folks that used to watch his reality show….oh, one last thing…sister Sarah did a speech for Trump in Wisconsin the other day that people walked out on…maybe her schtick is finally wearing thin? Not too soon, that’s for sure….
Dem infighting and repub repbranding…
Well…it has been a busy day but I did get the ham soup made and made some cash…but, I do have one more to do to get to the goal for the month so here goes…the first thing I want to talk about is the dem infighting that is going on between the Hillary and Bernie supporters. I understand that many of the Bernie supporters are new to the political process and are more driven by idealism… but, politics is a process that needs a dose of realism as well….and that reality is the Hillary will probably win the nomination and no matter how much that hurts Bernie’s supporters (and I am one of them) we need to get back to reality and support the nominee of our party…to sit out the election will hand it to Drumpf and to any person that is based in reality, that can’t be better than having Hillary as president. The second thing is a funny article I read about the “rebranding” of the repubs that will happen if they lose the election…I laughed when I read that…rebrand to what? The repub party is JUST what they have been showing in this primary season…a group of racist, mysoginist, haters that are reflecting exactly what their base is….that no minorities need apply…that women are just things that have no rights to control their own bodies…that christians deserve special rights to discriminate against everyone they don’t like and the repubs will use the government to deliver this hate….if this is your vision of America, you sure as hell shouldn’t be here reading this….go back to redstate….geez….
Still searching…
Well…even though there are lots of things happening in politics, much of it is so ridiculous that I can’t work up any outrage about it…I mean, Drumpf giving the excuse for the manhandling of a reporter by his campaign manager that the pen she was holding could have been a bomb? Delusional to say the least…but, so was his meltdown the other day on a phone call to a Wisconsin right wing radio show where the host just drilled him on everything he said….then we had Anderson Cooper going after him for acting like a 5 year old in the debate and the slow motion destruction of Drumpf is underway….but, I can’t say more about the liar Cruz that he is any different…he really isn’t and to know about Kasich, just take a look at what he did in Ohio…not the lies that he said he did or will do…just more of the same bait and switch that all of the repubs do to trick people into voting for them…can you say right to work, Snyder? It appears that the right wing nonsense is starting to unravel, finally, but the sick thing is that it is always the dems that have to come in and fix the damage that the repubs do…and I am tired of it…okay, this one was kind of all over the place….have not been as lucid as normal over the past few days and I’m not sure why…I will try to get better…that’s all I can do….
Some hope in NC…
Well…with the passage of the new pro discrimination law in NC…the backlash has been fun to watch with company after company telling their idiot governor that they will leave the state and him trying and failing to justify the law…and now, the democratic attorney general has said that he will not defend the law in court…and there have been a number of suits already filed by the ACLU and others…I’m not sure what that will mean to getting the law repealed but there is one observation I want to make here…on every issue of expanding the rights of all the people, so everyone has equal rights, the dems are on the right side and the repubs are always on the side of oppression and keeping people from getting their rights…and, some repubs are starting to realize it….I read a quote the other day that a leading repub was lamenting that the country is leaving them behind and he is not sure what place conservatives have here anymore…I’d like to say your bigoted, cheating ways have no place in the US anymore…and I hope we show them that at the ballot box in November…geez…
The common thread….
Well….during this election year, I want everyone to remember the common thread that runs through all of the anti LGBT legislation that is being passed across the country…they are all being proposed and passed by the repubs. Every person that cares about the civil rights of all of our fellow citizens must make these asses pay at the ballot box this November…it isn’t bad enough that the repubs wreck the economy of every state they control…now they want to wreck the lives of people they hate…Kansas just went so far as to pass a law that would give anyone 2,500 dollars if they “outed” any trans person using a restroom that matches their gender identity…now, I think that the repubs should be labeled a hate group for these kind of actions…and anyone…and I have friends that do this…that purposely ignore what these idiots are doing and vote for them should be ashamed…geez…
More hypocrisy from the repubs…
Well…I know I talk about repubs hypocrisy quite a bit since there is just so much of it everywhere you look…and the latest one exposes the pure ideology that is behind the gun nut craze driven by the repubs and the NRA…who’s solution to every problem the country faces is more guns everywhere. But, not at the repub convention…yep, they want guns everywhere and feel that gun free zones are the easiest targets for a “bad guy with a gun” but that is exactly what the convention is going to be…a gun free zone. Now, this may not really be that big of a case of hypocrisy since the Secret Service is in charge of security and will not allow guns at the convention…saying that it would make security impossible…and that just points out when you divorce guns everywhere from ideology and use some common sense, the security professionals know that more guns make people less safe. I would assert that instead of a gun free zone being a magnet for killers, I think it would be open carry events that would be easiest for a gunman to attack since he could just walk in with a couple of AR-15’s and a pistol strapped to his hip and no one would even look twice….how could you tell if he was a good guy or a bad guy? This open carry nonsense goes on just because you have the NRA riling up the gun nut fringe and the rest of us aren’t pushing back….I, for one, will not set foot in any business that allows these scared shitless idiots to carry guns in them…never…ever…geez…
The backlash begins in NC….
Well…as you probably already know, the repub controlled legislature in North Carolina passed a terrible discrimination bill the other day, in special session and in one day to avoid any input from anyone…the bill would allow anyone to discriminate against the LGBT community for any reason…and now, the backlash begins…basically every national business that does business in the state has condemned this blatant piece of crap bill and the flood of criticism continues today with the NFL saying that NC can forget about getting the super bowl they were expecting…and that has been followed up by the NCAA saying they will move the college basketball playoffs scheduled for 2017 out of NC….but, unless these people follow through on the threats these asses in NC will just laugh and say that it all just “liberals” that are the problem and they are just upholding “family values” for the people of NC…but, the thing is, over 65% of the people of NC didn’t want this bill passed…so who are these idiots representing? I hope these smug asses get the smiles wiped off their faces when the state starts losing billions of dollars when companies leave….they deserve it…geez…
Republican hate…part two…
Well…if you take a look down the page, you’ll see that I did one of these yesterday on the hate filled bill in Georgia that would legalize discrimination in Georgia…so now, I have to do one of the same on North Carolina, whose repub controlled legislature just went into special session yesterday to pass another one of this heinous bills…but in this case, the governor there, Pat McCrory, gleefully signed to bill to ensure that discrimination is now part of the face of NC. The repubs there plotted this little shenanigan to take place in one day to make sure there could be no citizen opposition to the bill…and a good thing since 65% of the people polled said they didn’t want this bill passed and, as in Georgia, businesses didn’t want it passed, either. So, just like Georgia, companies such as Dow Chemical, Amgen, and other have said they will pull out of the state if the bill was passed…but, in another little twist…this bill is in violation of title IX, which does not allow discrimination in schools…and guess what you haters? You have just cost your state 4 billion, yep, that’s billion dollars in federal school funding just so you haters can hate….I hope all of you pay for this crap…especially you McCrory, all of you repubs are the same….if you can’t hate, you don’t know what to do…geez…
Are they this stupid in Georgia?
Well…another day, another “religious freedom” law is passed in a repub controlled state…this time it’s Georgia pandering to the haters in their state by allowing anyone to discriminate against anyone if they feel like it…I know they thought they were being smart by keeping their law vague so they could hide behind the vagueness and use that to say that anyone that thinks it’s a license to discriminate is wrong…but that vagueness just means that the haters can basically discriminate against anyone…don’t like interracial couples? Check, you’re covered…discriminate away…don’t like gays? Check, you’re covered…discriminate away….don’t like the color of someone’s hair? If it’s a “strongly held religious belief” you are free to discriminate against them…and if you think this is anything but a childish tantrum against the 14th amendment’s equal protection clause…you are an idiot. The delicious irony here is that many large companies…Coke, Disney, Marvel, AMC (the Walking Dead) Home Depot…among others have said that they will leave the state if the idiot governor, Deal signs this atrocious bill into law. Now, we know the so called “religious” right has sway in the south…but I applaud these companies for not using their dollars to support this backward crap…explain this to your citizens, Deal, that their jobs are now gone and 4 billion dollars in economic activity has left your state just so a small group of assholes can discriminate against your fellow citizens…I’d love to hear that conversation….geez…
