Well…with little kevvie getting the gavel as speaker of the house, the moron repubs are now spouting about all of the damage they are going to do to SS, Medicare, and the ACA along with the investigations they are going to push…and all I have to say to them is bring it…everything they want to end is popular in the US, a hell of lot more popular than they are and they are going to shriek it from the rooftops and just drive even more people over to our side…and imagine the ads that are going to be run using all of this crap in 2024…and look, they control the house only so basically the only thing they are going to be able to do is investigate everyone and everything…but what they are too stupid to realize that not everyone is crooked like them, and they not going to find anything….and one of their biggest “investigations” is going to be of the January 6th committee…yep investigating an investigation…what a waste of time and our money…

Two years ago…
Well…I sure hope everyone remembers that two years ago, right wing repub thugs attacked this country to try to overthrow the duly elected government…and yet, the chief thug and his minions are still not in jail and are still running around spreading the lies that led to the attack…I know there has been some movement on the investigation and two more prosecutors were added to the 50 or so who are working on the case, but damn, with what we know from the January 6th committee, there is already plenty of evidence to charge the idiot trump and his minions with multiple crimes so why hasn’t that happened? On this dark anniversary, wouldn’t it be the perfect day to indict the ringleaders? And while they are at it, how about kicking the repubs out of congress who voted to overturn the election? As we get farther out with that happening, it just emboldens the repubs to do it again…there has to be consequences for this criminality or they will just keep doing it….geez…
Debbie Stabenow is not going to run in 24
Well…one of our dem senators has decided to not run for re-election when her term ends in 2024…not sure if it surprises me or not but she has been a good senator who has done good work not only representing the people of Michigan and was the first woman elected senator from Michigan. she has done great work as the chair of the agriculture/ nutrition committee that sets agricultural policy for the US…when she was a state senator, I worked with Debbie as the parent representative of Kentwood schools as the repub controlled legislature and Engler tried to screw over districts that wanted to spend more money on their schools….and that gave us proposal A that took school funding out of the local school districts…and is still screwing public schools to this day…and you know who backed that? Yep, the DeVos’s dirty fingers were all over it….so, thanks for your service, Senator, and good luck with the rest of your life….
What a mess…
Well…we’re up to 4 votes for a new speaker of the House with no movement at all in the vote count…so what do the repubs do? Call for another vote….the definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing but expect different results…but we didn’t need this vote to see that the repubs are insane…they have been since the astroturf tea party movement got started and the entire party took a lurch to the right and they are going farther and farther right as the minutes pass….I wonder if they can keep this up for two years? That would be a good way to avoid the bogus “investigations” they have been promising since they won the majority in November…one good thing that came out of this is that it looks like the idiot trump is losing part of his hold on what’s left of the repub party since he endorsed McCarthy yesterday and he got even less votes today….so, give it up kevvie…it looks like you’re not going to be speaker…geez…
Dumpster fire in the House…
Well…we all know what a dumpster fire the House is going to be with repubs running it and it has started that out already with just the vote for speaker….for the first time in over a hundred years no one was elected on the first vote and Kevin McCarthy is seething about it…he needs the entire repub caucus and the bomb throwers on the right just aren’t letting him have it and that is even with him giving them everything they wanted…positions of power that they should be nowhere near…and even if he is elected ole kevvie is going to be the weakest speaker in the history of the House…and it couldn’t happen to a more deserving asshole…geez….
A little thing that everyone missed….
Well…read about this last night and almost forgot to do one of these on it….in the last big piece of legislation passed that will fund the government until next September, there was a small part in there that is going to force transparency on all of the shell companies the the rich use to avoid taxes here in the US…and since most of these companies are created here in the US, that means that most of them are going to have to register who the real owner of these companies are…so no more hiding money laundering in shell inside shell…and since the idiot trump uses these kinds of companies to avoid taxes by playing a shell game with them, the IRS will have a nice new set of tools to go after rich cheats like him or they will have to leave their money offshore with no way to get it back into the US to use it…it will be interesting so see how much financial corruption this exposes…and I hope stops….
Poor babies….
Well…as I sit here with a seized up back that has me heating it again, I thought I’d do a little comment on the whining that the idiot trump’s former staff was doing during their testimony to the January 6th committee starting with Hope Hicks who cried that she would never get another job in DC…and this was a pretty common theme for others, too…and all I have to say is good! After seeing felonies being committed for 4 years and not saying a damn thing about it, how the hell could anyone trust them? It was and is their duty to report the illegal crap that was going on every damn day that idiot boy was squatting in the WH and that they didn’t says a hell of a lot about them…they knew he was plotting the January 6th attack and the overthrowing of the legally elected government and not one of these whiners said a thing….not one of them resigned until after the attack when they could have prevented it by just going public with idiot boy’s plans but not one of them did…so if none of them ever work again is not enough punishment for them….some of them should be in jail…geez…
Elon sets a record…
Well…with the cratering of Tesla stock and all of his other stupid financial moves, ole elon has set a record that I’m sure he never wanted to….he is the first person in the history of the world to lose over 200 billion dollars…yep, he’s lost half of his fortune since he bought twitter and with all of the shenanigans there expose him as being a lousy businessman and right wing troll, the sales of teslas is cratering along with the stock price and even the price of used teslas is falling like a rock as his yes men at twitter go about ruining it. So, can we just admit that when you start out with 400 million dollars in inheritance and make some money from it, it doesn’t make you a genius or even a good person…it just makes you appear to be an insufferable asshole with how you treat the people around you…I hope he goes broke….geez…
Of course trump doesn’t pay taxes…
Well…with the release of 6 years of the idiot trump’s taxes by a house committee, we can see what everyone knows…that idiot boy doesn’t pay taxes like the rest of us. He even got a 13 million dollar refund in one of the years that he used to offset taxes that he did owe…a pretty damn good trick when he doesn’t pay taxes…and let’s just remember that his company was just convicted of tax fraud and I’ll be surprised once the forensic accountants get at this paperwork that there isn’t some kind of fraud in there that he’ll blame on his accountants…on other thing we should remember that the NY times did a story of where the idiots money came from and it was shown that he helped his parents commit tax fraud and then inherited all that money when they died…oh, and he cheated his niece out of her part of the money when that happened….so to find his returns done by the book would be the first time he ever did it….geez….
Elon Musk…super genius…
Well…I sure hope none of you guys has any Tesla stock…over the past year it has lost over 75% of it’s value and musk has cost stockholders over 800 billion dollars…so, is this some sort of elevenety level chess, or is he just some right wing asshole who started out rich and got richer by accident? His moves with both tesla and with twitter seems to show that he is not the super genius that he played on tv but just another hack with too much money and too many sycophants and yes men who he has surrounded himself with….and while we’re at it, let’s just remember how SpaceX got to be successful…it was all of the government contracts and subsidies it got from NASA…without them, it wouldn’t exist so no, it wasn’t elon’s genius but yours an my money that did it…it seems that people liked tesla when he still had that undeserved veneer of genius but now that people see the true elon, they don’t want to have anything to do with him…and I don’t, either….
