Well..with a settlement being reached with all three of the big three automakers and the UAW, the only conclusion that can be reached is that unions are on the rise in the US…and it really does appear that the worker are starting to get their fair share finally after sacrificing pay and benefits to keep the automakers afloat during the great recession…on average, it appears that the pay raises are going to be 25% over the next 4 years along with better retirement benefits and lower healthcare costs…and this is only fair after all of the companies announce record profits over the past 5 years…and this whole settlement is a result in a change in tactics by the UAW that saw strikes against all of the companies at once and then a continual adding of more and more plants until the companies came to the bargaining table with no bullshit this time…and with all of the union activity going on in this country across almost every industry, workers have finally realized that their employers are not going to give them what they deserve out of the kindness of their hearts so they are banding together to use the power they have as a group to be compensated for their true worth….there are still people like Jeff Bezos of Amazon and the movie/tv studios who are willing to take on hundreds of millions in lost profit just to keep from paying workers, writers, and actors and small percentage of that they are asking for….showing this is just a bunch of assholes who run these companies…keep it up folks, we need a middle class again….geez…

Where the heck do they get these lawyers?
Well…a judges ruling today actually made me laugh out loud…in the 250 million dollar fraud case in NYC against the idiot trump, his daughter Ivanka’s lawyer told the judge that since she was released as a defendant she didn’t have to testify in the case, ignoring the subpoena that the prosecutors sent for her…yeah, that’s not how this works and I really do wonder where the heck they get these lawyers? Look, even non lawyers know that you can be a witness and have pertinent information without being a defendant…cripes, what lawyer would ever try to pull this bullshit out of his ass? So, the judge said she’d better get her butt into his courtroom next week and essentially told her to get better lawyers…yeah, no one wants to work for the trump crime family…can anyone say perjury? Geez…
So now it’s evolution…
Well…damn, where the hell do they find these guys? The new speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, came out with a statement on the mass shooting yesterday in Maine where 18 people were killed and 30 more people wounded and guess what the repubs are blaming for this one? Not the easy availability of assault weapons that are flooding the streets…nope, it can be that…according to ole Mike it’s the teaching of evolution and any other science in schools…and everything can be fixed if they let god back in the schools which is against the constitution…but sine ole Mikey was in on January 6th and the attacks, we know what he thinks of the constitution…so should we be able to ignore the 2nd amendment, too? According to Mikey, we can….geez…
Is anyone surprised?
Well…if you thought the repubs in the House couldn’t get any worse, they did and they loved doing it…last night those idiots called a “press conference” to announce that some yahoo repub from Louisiana was going to be the new speaker and they all huddled behind him for some reason that I don’t get other than they just wanted their faces on tv…but, isn’t the purpose of “press conferences” to take questions from, you know, the press? Not when repubs are involved…once a reporter started asking questions about this yahoo’s role in trying to overthrow the government on January 6th, they all started shouting her down and when she tried to ask a second question about policy…they all agreed that they were not going to talk about policy of any sort…and I agreed with that since they don’t have any policy other than to kiss trump’s ass…I wonder why anyone is surprised by this behavior? After all, in 2020 they didn’t even produce a platform for their party at the convention…again just kissing trump’s ass was the only thing mentioned…geez…
Mark Meadows has flipped on idiot boy..
Well…damn I read this this afternoon and it just slipped my mind until now…it was announced today that former trump chief of staff Mark Meadows had taken and immunity deal to testify against the idiot trump…yep, this is the guy that was in every meeting that was held about stealing the election and can testify directly to what trump and everyone else said during that plot…so this time trump really is cooked and this explains the hail Mary filings his lawyers made in this case over the weekend trying to get the case thrown out…that is never going to happen so next year we’ll get the big trial that should put trump trump in jail for the rest of his life…we can hope anyway…geez…
It’s now espionage…
Well…I’m sure you’ve heard by now of the news that the idiot trump shared nuclear sub secrets with an Australian businessman who then blabbed those same secrets with almost 100 people across the world…yeah, he did it…but now we know why idiot boy did it and that has started an investigation of espionage against the idiot and the businessman…and the whole thing keys on the fact that the businessman gave trump millions of dollars and trump wanted the money to keep flowing so he blabbed secrets to him to make sure that happened even though he lost the election…the money started flowing to trump right after the Russians installed him as president and the businessman joined the idiot’s tacky Florida club…and it just kept flowing as the businessman wormed his way into the idiot’s inner circle…and the kicker here is that the businessman knew the entire relationship was transactional…that he knew that he could keep access only if the money kept flowing and even told his friends that he was buying his way in…so now the question has to be answered “what was trump going to do with all of the secrets he stole?” It is obvious he was selling info to this businessman, so who else was he doing it to? I don’t have any faith that anything will happen to idiot boy for doing this…after all, nothing he has done has put him in jail so why would anyone think this time will be different? Geez…
Another rat flees…
Well…it was just announced on the news that another rat of the trump pack has bailed and taken a plea deal to avoid a trial that was supposed to start next week…Kenneth Chesebro was the mastermind of the fake electors scheme and unlike Powell who got off with just 6 misdemeanors, he has plead to at least 1 felony and will probably be disbarred as a result…we can only hope…and, as I said yesterday, the deals will get worse and worse as time goes on and Fani Willis works her way up the food chain so tick tock, trump…they are coming for you and fast….I’ll bet this is going to be the next to last deal since now they have three witnesses who can testify that idiot boy was in the middle of the whole scheme….I can’t wait for that trial…geez…
The rats are fleeing…
Well…in a surprise move in the Georgia election case that still has the idiot trump as one of those charged, Sidney Powell, one of trump’s “lawyers” has plead guilty to 6 counts and is cooperating with the prosecutors…she is the second defendant to flip and they really only need one more to put the final nail in idiot boy’s coffin…and as every day goes by, the deals will get worse and worse for those trying to get out from under the threat of jail time…she got 6 years probation and avoided the Rico charge for her testimony…I wonder what the rest of the defendants are thinking? If they don’t do a deal by the end of the week, they are pretty much assured jail time so they need to get it in gear and flip, flip, flip…and the prosecutors can use the fact that Powell took a deal and admitted her guilt against the rest of them…so, it’s not looking good for the 16 defendants who have trials coming up starting next week…tick, tock, criminals…geez…
Super Biden…
Well…I know there are multitudes of people that are going on and on about Joe Biden’s age and some of them are still lying their asses off that he is senile…if what he has done in his term is senile, we need a lot more senile in our presidents…look, the skill that Joe shows every day is something to be seen…after the attack by Hamas on Israel, everyone said that Biden should stay out of it but he just couldn’t…and guess what? Humanitarian aid is getting into Gaza because Joe went to Israel and twisted a few arms to get Bibi to let the materiel through…do you really think the oaf trump could or would be able to do that? Not in a million years…he wouldn’t even care that people are dying in Gaza…they are “brown” after all and they have no worth to the idiot…so Joe re-energized NATO, pushed hard for aid to Ukraine that is destroying Russia’s army without one American boot on the ground, and has raised the respect that the world has for the US by being the tough, good guy that he is…and I sure want him for another term….no drama…
5 repubs need to grow a spine…
Well…with the debacle of a repub election for speaker of the House going into it’s third round and gym jordan still trying to bully the other repubs in the House to make him speaker, I think we need to understand that a fix for the country and for the dysfunction in the House is easy to do…we just need 5 repubs to grow a spine and vote for Hakeem Jeffries along with the 212 dems…that would make a good man speaker and leave the molester enabler to sit there and fume about it…but, we all know that won’t happen and a person who was in the middle of the plot to overthrow the government is going to be speaker of the House…that just shows you how far the repubs have fallen in their self made sinkhole of depravity…that the entire repub caucus is willing to go along with this criminal and elect him to a position where he is third in line to be president when he should be in prison…geez…
