Well….wasn’t going to do one on politics today, trying to keep my promise of not writing about the idiot trump…but the twitter storm from yesterday had me wondering why….there is always some reason for the idiot going nuts and I think I’ve figured this one out. Yesterday, the founders of Fusion GPS, the company who commissioned and paid for the Steele dossier on the crook trump’s Russian entanglements, had an op-ed in the NYT wondering why none of the 21 hours of testimony they gave to congress has been released and revealed the firm has been under attack by repubs since the dossier was published. One of the damning facts in the op-ed was that the committees that are “investigating” trump have not asked for any bank records except for those of Fusion GPS, trying to intimidate them and obscure the fact that Fusion did nothing wrong…and continuing the obstruction of justice that all of the repubs on these committees are guilty of. So, now we know another thing, that the rot goes deeper than just the idiot trump…that there are many repubs need to make sure the investigations go nowhere so they don’t end up being perp walked out of congress….impeach…
January 3rd
Well…running a little late today and I just have no motivation to get moving….haven’t had a lot of motivation to do anything the past few days and I’m not sure why….slept okay last night and even had a few dreams that I don’t remember…yeah, I know how that sounded…how do I know if I had dreams if I don’t remember them? Maybe I didn’t…who knows? I did have to take something for my left elbow yesterday and it seems to have helped to get the swelling down…but now my right one hurts, too, and I’m not sure what the heck is going on with that….I really do have to get something done today since I wasted the day yesterday watching soccer…and there is only one match on today so I should be able to do something before that comes on at 3….the cold weather is starting to wear on me and I do need to remember I’ve lived through worse…but the 8-9 degrees below zero the next two nights is going to be a trial…and it’s only going to be 10 degrees for a high on Friday so maybe I’ll just hibernate….more later….
Thanks for nothing, donnie…
Well….the idiot in chief is back at it again, taking credit for something that he had nothing to do with…just today, his stubby little fingers flew across the phone as he tweeted a self congratulation that no planes crashed in the US last year…saying that he was “tough” on commercial aviation and implying that it was only through his brilliance that no planes crashed. Well…got some news for you, donnie, it’s been 7 years since a commercial aircraft crashed in the US…so I guess that makes 6 years under Obama that no planes crashed…a record that you’re never going to see when they perp walk your ass out of the WH…so, what’s next? Going to thank yourself for the sun coming up? Or that the moon is still in the sky? I’ll bet this ass tries this old trick again….like taking credit for Obama’s economy when the idiot boy had nothing to do with it…getting sick of this crap yet repubs? Nope….impeach…
January 2nd
Well….running late today and there is good reason for it…feel pretty crappy today and my left elbow has gotten my attention by the tendons swelling and catching…that started yesterday and it continues this morning…thought about taking something for it but didn’t…will do that today…..didn’t get anything done yesterday and T gave me the excuse that it was a football day and you don’t have to do anything on a football day….one good thing was that Man U won their match and it was about time…way too may draws lately….and there is more soccer on this aft so I have something to look forward to….not much to do today….need to get out to buy lottery tickets today for the draws tonight and tomorrow but that is about it….more later….
Not sure…..
Well….didn’t want to make the title too long so I’ll flesh out the thought here…not sure if I’m looking forward to this year or not….we have just survived a year of the idiot trump and the only thing I’m thankful for in that is I have had lots of topics to write about but it has also made me a one note writer…and I am going to try to change that this year…after all, writing about the idiot gives him exactly what he wants, attention, and I for one don’t want to give that asshole anything…and there are lots of topics out there…science and sports for a couple and music, and weather…you get the idea. Have never been a resolution person….and the standard one of losing weight is something that I work on every day, especially in this dead time when I am off the bike…and to create stress by trying to live up to some artificial goal is not something I want to do anymore…oh, I know, I could do one about moving along on the next novel but I don’t work like that…it usually just comes to me and trying to force it is not fun…and writing is supposed to fun…to me anyway, and it comes through in the writing if it isn’t…maybe I could resolve to make guacamole today…would that work…and the second one could be to eat it…now that would set me up for some successes the first day of the year….and that is a good way to start….more later…
Oh, one last thing….you should go over to Kos and read Hunter’s rant this morning…he just kills it with righteous indignation and it made me laugh…and that’s a good thing to start the year…
January 1st
Well….I think I should start this one by saying Happy New Year….not sure if it will be, but I’m still living and breathing so that is always a good thing…slept okay last night but overdid it and I am feeling it today…but, I knew that would be the case so I am not going to complain….didn’t get anything done yesterday and with sports starting already today won’t be better….lots of soccer and football to watch so cleaning is going to wait until tomorrow….I do have a conflict with Michigan playing at noon and then Man U playing at 12:30 but, with how crappy Man U has been playing, I think I’ll stick with Michigan…..not much to do today….I bought some avocados Wednesday and I am still waiting for them to ripen enough to make some guac so I may do that today…but, not much more than that…more later….
Just one more….
Well sitting here a little bored so I thought I’d take a look at how many of these things I’ve done this year….with this one, I’ve done 910….910 times of coming here to try to have something to say and at times being able to be lucid enough to make some sense…..I’d have to take a look at the dashboard to see how many I’ve done since I started this thing…okay…maybe I will…ha, this is too funny…I must have started the year at 5,000 posts since I now have 5,910…pretty cool…and this IS the last one for the year….
Last one for the year…
Well….not sure if I need to do a summary of the year but I don’t have any other ideas so here goes….not going to touch on anything political today because, if you’ve been here before, you know how I feel about the destruction of this country by the traitorous repubs…this one will be a little more personal since quite a few things have happened…I got to see Steely Dan here in GR and it was one of the best shows I’ve seen them do even if Walter wasn’t there….still couldn’t find a job and ran out of money so I had to take my SS early to continue to pay the rent and eat….and that took a big load off and got rid of the knot that was constantly in my stomach….in my 4th month of that now and have paid all my bills and have a couple of grand in the bank but I am still in cheap mode and haven’t really bought any of the stuff that I need yet…I think I’ll wait a while for that so I can get a good sized cushion in the bank for any emergencies that may come up. Still no health problems to speak of but my back has been in pain on and off for most of the year….has been good lately so I guess I’ll not complain about that…..I have had a bunch of allergies that have been bugging me but most of the time I don’t need to take anything for it so that’s another thing to not bitch about….I have been feeling a little isolated lately with being here most of the time…but I guess it’s just another new part of life that I’ll have to get used to….and I am good at being alone…so it won’t be too hard…..Happy New Year!
December 31st
Well….running on time this morning and had to smile a little when I walked in the grocery store and “Reeling in the years” by Steely Dan was playing…had to warm the car up for almost a half hour to get the frost off the windshield but at least it started…slept okay last night but still feel a little slow today since I was not good last night….and I won’t be good tonight, either….after all, it’s New Year’s eve and I have to do something…not sure if I miss the days of going out…nope, don’t miss them at all….don’t need to spend hundreds of dollars to go out where it’s crowded and noisy….would rather buy a new bike….didn’t get a lot done yesterday but I did vacuum and get rid of some cobwebs so I guess that’s something…don’t plan on doing a lot today, either….I may clean the bathroom if the coffee works…it’s not doing much right now so I guess I’ll have to wait a while….more later….
Another reason bites the dust…
Well….I know you’ve heard all of the reasons that trump and his flunkies in congress have used to try to discredit Robert Mueller, and the favorite is that the whole thing sprang from what they think is opposition research or the “Steele Dossier” that was originally started by conservatives to hurt the idiot trump. But today, that reason went away when the NYT reported that the whole investigation was started when one of trump’s minions got drunk in London and bragged to an Australian diplomat that he knew the Russians had dirt on Hillary…and this was months before any of the e-mails were released by Wikileaks…once they were released, the Australian intelligence services reported what the idiot minion blabbed about to their counterparts in the US…and that is what started the Russian investigation…not partisan nonsense but the Australians realizing that the trump campaign working with the Russians to win was a big deal. So now, when you hear the idiot trump repeating 16 times that there was no “collusion” in his latest interview, you know he is full of crap…and I propose we stop using collusion to describe this criminal conspiracy….collusion may not be illegal ( a favorite go to the idiot boy continues to use), but criminal conspiracies and money laundering is….so idiot, keep talking…the hole is getting deeper and deeper….impeach…
