Well…as you know, there has been a huge crisis in Flint where or governor’s man allowed the city to be poisoned with lead to save a few hundred dollars a week, and now the blame shifting has started where all of the repubs that were (and still are in charge) are trying to shift the blame to the EPA saying that they didn’t do enough to prevent the problem…and not enough oversight so the water would be safe. Now, I sure hope you see the irony in this coming from the repubs…the same repubs who have spent the years since the clean water act was passed trying to gut the EPA and filing suit after suit in the courts to prevent them from ensuring that the water in this country is clean. So now, when the model that the repubs want, state control of the cleanliness of water fails, they cry and cry that it’s the EPA’s fault. I am tired of the hypocrites on the right gutting government and the programs that we need to have a safe environment to give tax cuts to the rich and then jumping up and saying “see, government doesn’t work”…..it would work if they did their damn jobs for a change instead of attacking the poor and unions…I’ve had enough of the party of “no responsibility”….geez….

It’s a tie in Iowa….
Well…not sure if you have been following the causcases in Iowa, but I’m pretty sure you’re as tired of it as I am…the cool result was that Bernie and Hillary basically tied with only two tenths of a point separating them and the policy that they stressed was what the dems wanted to hear…not like the right who are filled with crap and personal attacks that I am just tired of. I probably should mention that Ted Cruz won on the repub side with Trump being the first loser as he calls it and Rubio coming in third that he has been touting all day as a win…the delusion runs deep in this one. the one thing I want my side to remember is to not go overboard on that support…that when or if your candidate loses, we have to remember to support the other candidate on our side….to sit out to just spite the chosen candidate will hand the presidency to the repubs…and I’m not sure that damage will ever be repaired…look how long it took Obama to fix the mess left by ole GW…geez…
Snyder is such a whiner….
Well…I am just shaking my head at this latest thing from ole Snyder…our wonderful governor here in Michigan. He went on the radio a few days back to whine, whine, whine that he is being heckled in public when he goes out to eat….let that sink in for a minute….this guy who, along with his cronies, poisoned an entire Michigan city and now he is whining that he is the victim here…not the people of Flint or the rest of us who are going to be stuck with the tab for the repairs, but him. How typical is that of the repubs across the country? They screw up completely, causing untold damage to the country and then when they get called on it they whine and play the victim….hey Snyder, how about you do something about the water in Flint instead of just whining and studying it….how much more tone deaf can one person get? I guess we’ll see…..geez…
Okay…this one is filler…
Well….yeah, the title says it all…just don’t have a topic for today so this one is just going to be filler…there was one thing about ole Ted Cruz….he has vowed that he will appoint “conservative” judges to the supreme court who will then outlaw gay marriage…yeah, Ted…you are never going to be elected so that’s not going to be a problem…and the 14th amendment doesn’t change just because you want it to….another time where the repubs are shown to be the huge hypocrites they are….real law and order until they don’t get what they want and then the court ruling is “unlawful”….what the hell law school do you go to? I’m sure they taught you what the constitution means…and yet you go on and on how illegitimate it is….what a poor excuse for a human being this guy is…hmmmm…might have to change the title…nope…I think I’ll just leave it…I did make the goal for the month so I guess that’s something….
It gets worse in Flint
Well…as you should know by now, the state of Michigan and our wonderful governor (snark) poisoned the people of Flint for almost two years constantly saying that the water there was safe to drink when they knew it wasn’t…and another piece of the proof puzzle fell into place the other day when it was revealed that in January of 2015 the state offices in Flint started supplying bottled water to the employees there since they were concerned that the water was bad….something they didn’t do for the citizens of Flint until almost a year later…yep, they didn’t want their employees to be poisoned but it was just fine to poison the residents. This kind of crap happens every time there is a repub in charge…and in this case, an un-elected emergency manager who made the decision to change the water supply not to save money but I think to reward ole Snyder’s cronies that are getting sweetheart deals to build the new water system…what better way to make the new system necessary but to ruin the old one? What a bunch of crap…and typical repub crap…geez…
Okay…not sure if I want to attribute that much intelligence to those idiots…callousness, yes, but I don’t think they are that bright….
Trump skipping the debate…
Well…as you know, I have been loathe to write about old Donald…okay, I have done a few about him but this latest controversy of him skipping tonight’s debate deserved a few words from someone…and an idea that I haven’t heard in any of the news stories take on yet. To start, I find it funny that ole Donald is in a fight with Fox news who have been all Donald, all the time…but I think I also understand why he would skip the debate…after all, what would it get him to be there? He is ahead everywhere in all of the polls from the repub side and there is only downside to him being there…it could only hurt him in the polls if any of his opponents landed any punches so I guess it’s pretty smart to skip it…he is getting more press by skipping it and he just doesn’t care what anyone thinks so this appears to be logical…not that I would attribute logic to this idiot…but, this one time, it appears he has stumbled on some by accident….still going to be fun to watch….geez….
Ted Cruz is a liar…
Well…if you remember a couple of days back, I did a post here about ole Ted’s saying that he lost his health insurance due to Obamacare and the insurance company he was using getting out of the business because…Obmacare…and his premiums were going up 50%, too, because…Obamacare….guess what? None of it was true…he was just lying through his teeth like all repubs do. He never lost his coverage…just moved to an HMO since the PPO’s that the company offered were being eliminated…and the 50% increase? The insurance company can’t figure out where he got those numbers from….they are lowering their rates for that type of insurance….and if he wasn’t such a prick, he could get his insurance from the federal exchange, like the rest of senators and their staffs do and get a subsidy for it…well…maybe not subsidy since his family had income of 10 Million dollars last year. So, again, we have a repub that is so ideology driven that he will lie and lie just to try to make a political point….real presidential material…geez…
Marco Rubio is just an ass….
Well…finally found something to write about when I just read an article where ole Marco was making jokes about the blizzard that just pounded the east coast…you know the one…that killed 30 people…and this ass is making jokes about it…that it “could be one of the best thing to happen to the republic…that Obama’s executive order pen is frozen..” yeah, he actually is making light of this huge tragedy and the effects it has on 30 families…but that doesn’t matter to this crass, little idiot…the only thing that matters to him is trying to score cheap political points to show how “smart” he is….hey Marco…why don’t you try showing up for the job the American people pay you for instead of trying to out Cruz Cruz….what an ass….geez…..
Too much religion…
Well….I know it’s Iowa caucus time where the candidates are trying to woo the evangelical vote, but I mean, come on righties…this is even too much for you guys….first we have Ted Cruz coming out the other day and saying his religion is more important to him than the US is…now, this coming from someone who wants to be president? Does that mean he will put the christianists first instead of his oath to uphold and protect the constitution that builds a wall between church and state? Imagine if a Muslim candidate said that…he would be run out of town but this is just fine for a christian to say? Then you have the Donald saying the other day that christians are going to be running the country if he is elected…don’t they now? Oh, I guess he means that christians will be able to be open with their bigotry against everyone again…and he will use his power to subvert to constitution to cater to his christian followers…look, I have had way too much of these idiots believing that this is a christian country…we are not….and I take offense with having any religion jammed down my throat by having their religion codified into laws…just like the “blue laws” that kept almost every business closed on Sunday when I was a kid…and it was so bad here in West Michigan that we had the only McDonald’s in the country that was closed on Sunday…thanks Jenison….geez….
Justin Amash is just too much…
Well…if you didn’t think the tea partiers were idiots, you just have to listen to one of their “shining stars”, Justin Amash, talk about the Flint water crisis. Just today, this idiot let ideology override any humanity he may have by decrying the fact that the federal government is going to help fix the water system in Flint and he voted against it….saying since the crisis is contained within the state, the federal government CAN’T be involved since the constitution…blah, blah, blah….typical, typical tea party repub….listen Justin….the people that were hurt are also US citizens and pay federal taxes…and your interpretation of the constitution was discarded by everyone with a brain over 200 years ago….so, unless you can see past the DeVos’s asses that you kiss daily…shut the hell up…geez….
