Well…during the Biden administration, if you asked any man on the street if the economy was good or bad, they almost always called it bad no matter what was really going on…and a large part of it was the news media not doing their jobs in reporting the good news…but, I think that has started to change a bit with many articles about the almost nonexistent inflation that the fed has engineered…in October, there was no inflation at all and in November it was only .1 of a percent and the CBO forecast is for inflation to be right on the 2% target for the next five years and the fed has 3 interest rate decreases scheduled for 2024…and this all adds up to the vaunted “soft landing” that the fed has been working for…do you remember all the doom and gloom that we were heading for a deep recession when Biden took over? When you put competent people and not cronies in charge, it is not surprising that good things happen…but if you listen to fox news, they are still rooting for that recession saying the economy is terrible when it’s not…I guess liars gotta lie…geez…

Poor Rudy…
Well…today is going to be the day that poor rudy giuliani is going to be destroyed for attacking the mother/daughter poll workers in Georgia and lying his ass off that they were counting fake votes when the mother was just passing a tic tac to the daughter…and he got the maga assholes all riled up so both women got hundreds and hundreds of death threats…and it got so bad that both women ended up in hiding having to move out of their houses…so they sued rudy and won their case and the jury is deliberating what the penalty is going to be…the women have asked for 48 million dollars and they may just get it with the stunt rudy pulled yesterday when he again said there was “proof” they were faking votes…funny thing, he never presented that “proof” and now his lawyer isn’t even talking to rudy probably sine he is not going to get paid for his work since rudy is already broke and can’t pay his bills…poor rudy…geez…
They don’t give a damn about the “life of the mother”
Well..we know that the repubs lie about everything so I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that the “life of the mother” exception that many of the red states have written into their draconian anti abortion laws just don’t work when women have to sue for that right and it has to go through the deep red court systems…just in the past week a case in Texas shows that the repubs had no intent of allowing any abortion even if the mother’s life is at risk and the fetus has a genetic disease that is fatal every time…a woman there had doctors refuse to perform the needed procedure since they can be arrested for doing it even though she may die or lose her fertility if the abortion wasn’t done…so she sued and a lower court agreed she qualified for the exception…but then the asshole AG stepped in to object and appealed to the Texas SC and the SC said she couldn’t use the exception so she had to leave the state to save her life…now, there is no damn way that any woman should have to sue to control her healthcare…but that is what is happening in every damn red state…and the repubs just don’t care since the cruelty is the point of these laws….geez…
Mr. Smith goes to the SC…
Well…with the continued bleatings from the idiot trump’s that since he was president, he is totally immune from any type of prosecution for any laws he has broken…and it doesn’t matter how many times the ploy is knocked down in court, he continues to use it in every venue where he is being tried to delay the trial as he has in every one of the 4,000 lawsuits he has filed during his lifetime. but Jack smith has other ideas and has filed a brief with the supreme court to ask them to rule on whether or not being president confers immunity to stop these delays…now, this could be a mistake with the right wing supreme court willing to make stuff up as it goes along and ready to break the constitution whenever they can…but I know for a fact that there is nothing in the constitution that gives that immunity and for them to give it to idiot boy would be another reason to reform the court and return it to it’s traditional role of ruling on laws, not making the law like htis ruling would do…geez…
Another great thing that Joe is doing…
Well…I am so damn tired of people don’t see that Joe Biden is doing anything to help anybody and that may make them vote for trump or not voting at all…well…let me tell you about the great thing he just frickin did that is going to help the whole damn country and protect it from the greed of drug companies…the FDA is going to look at all of the drug companies and if they find that they are price gouging and if any of the research for the drug was paid for by tax money from the government, he will vacate the patent and give it to another company to produce…yep, you heard that right…finally, this one is going to have some teeth in it and it will bar the gouging company from getting any government research money for 10 years if they are guilty…so to all you doubters out there, do you think the idiot trump would do anything like this? Ha,ha…that made me laugh out loud…geez…
Why is this not treason?
Well…I don’t know why the media is not screaming about the treason the repubs are going to do this week…lots of repub lawmakers are going to meet with reps from Orban of Hungary this week to “strategize” how to cut off funding for Ukraine and help Putin take over the country…yep, you heard that right…the repubs are openly working with the dictator Orban to do putin’s dirty work and help him in his illegal invasion of Ukraine…any one of them who attend this meeting should be arrested and charged with treason for giving “aid or comfort” to our enemy which is the literal definition of treason…and with this meeting they are conducting illegal foreign policy interference but they just don’t care about any laws anymore…where the hell is Merrick Garland in this? He should be making phone calls to these folks telling them that they will be breaking the law if they attend…and then following up with charging these assholes as soon as they do…this crap can’t stand…geez…
Trains!
Well…you know I’ve had a wish that there would be trains that I could use to get around the state and the rest of the country, but that is not going to happen in my lifetime but the Biden administration just earmarked almost 8 billion dollars to go for rail extensions and upgrades so many of the rails will qualify for high speed trains…I know this is a baby step but you have to start somewhere…and it would be so cool if I could walk down to the park down the hill and get on a train to GR for the day…but then you don’t have any way other than a car to get to the suburbs…when I was young they had busses that ran from GR to Ada and my mother took me to downtown GR when I was about 6 but not now….I really like the trains in the UK since every town had a train station and other forms of transport like the trams in Manchester or Dublin…or the underground in London…that would be cool to have intercity rail again like they did back in the 40’s and 50’s…oh, well…I can dream…
Equal protection under the law…
Well…I wonder why the ACLU is not use the tack of suing red states under the 14th amendment? That’s the one that states we have a right to equal protection under the law…and in red states minorities are still getting their votes thrown out or prevented at a rate significantly higher that for whites…and that sure isn’t equal protection under federal voting laws…it used to be that no matter where you lived, you had essentially the same rights…until the bought and purchased SC allowed unlimited money into politics and gutted women’s rights, voting rights, and the right to be safe from assholes with guns…so now, if you live in a red state, you have many less rights than you do in a blue state…and that is not equal protection under the law…not sure what can be done about it other than getting rid of the corrupt SC and all of the right wing judges who lied their asses off to get on the court…and we dems have to start shouting it…geez…
Bye, bye Kevvie…
Well…this little bit of news has me smiling…kevin mccarthy announced that he is resigning his House seat at the end of the year…and all I have to sat to that is don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…as the least effective speaker of the house in history and the only one to be removed from the post, this maga asshole supported and still supports the idiot trump and like most of the other maga assholes infesting the House, ole kevvie didn’t accomplish anything other than giving the rich and corporations tax cuts that is still damaging the economy….and trying to cripple the ACA and take health insurance away from 40 million Americans…so good riddance kevvie…leave today even, that would be better…geez
Comer does it again…
Well…damn, it seems like every day the idiot james comer breathlessly says he has found the “smoking gun” that will allow the house repubs to impeach Joe Biden, and every day it blows up in his face…on Monday he was over the right wing propaganda sites hyping his latest “proof” of corruption since he found that Hunter Biden’s company paid his father “monthly” payments of 1,380 dollars…yeah, about that…his company did pay monthly payments for 3 months in repayment of Joe making Hunter’s truck payments for 3 months…and they were paid when Joe wasn’t even in office and Hunter was broke…so Joe does what a good dad does and helps out his only remaining son…and this is all they have? Look, they have been looking for anything to smear Joe with for over a year now and have come up with nothing…how about the repubs just give it up and maybe do something for the people of this country? This is just so much bullshit…geez…
