Legal Insanity

 How did we get to the point that our DOJ is charging curious people and our President pardons violent felons who beat police officers? It is such a disappointing waste... Like usual, the stupid political charges will be tossed.

Things are Tough Out There

 When Trump got elected, I posted that I am thankful that I am a 60 year old empty nester white straight male who saved a lot for retirement. 

 And that I felt for everyone who is less fortunate than me.  It seems that I was correct, since only 33% of people approve of "his" economy...

Religious Righters are All Similar

 I had to expand on this excellent cartoon... I think our Christian religious right has more in common with the crazies over seas than they are willing to admit... Thankfully the majority of us understand that their preaching is crazy talk !!!

FISA Is Not So Important

 Last week GOPers were blaming DEMs for putting the US security at risk for letting FISA lapses, now Trump stalls it further and doubles down on this incompetent idiot...

The Stealth Removal

 

In Love with Inflation

 I bet the people who voted for Trump to lower prices are very disappointed that he seems very happy with the high prices and inflation.

One upside to my broken ankle... I have not filled gas in anything for weeks !!!

Intolerance

 This is an interesting and disturbing piece. How did so many people become so intolerant of others who have different beliefs?

Being somewhat libertarian leaning, these folks who want government controlling them and their neighbors confounds me.

Corruption Continues

 I would never do business with Trump or let him spend any time with my adult daughters... And yet some people seem fine with him representing the USA? I will never understand?

Let Them Eat Cake

 A disturbing read... MAGA / Trump's unnecessay tax cuts for the wealthy, pointless expensive wars, wasteful handouts for felons, pointless building projects, etc sure are not helping the normal US worker.

Facism and Bigotry

 I look forward to see what hell Colbert raises now that he is free of Paramont...

I always liked him better than Gutfeld, Colbert used 10 minutes to make fun of stupid things said and done by politicians. Where as Gutfeld works to promote conspiracy theories and paint people as evil. I am not sure who finds Gutfeld funny... Maybe the same folks who like to pick on the slow kid in school.

Shorts Cuts Can Cause Long Delays

Sorry I was slow in replying, I broke my ankle in 3 places like the example below...

Thursday night in the rain, I was loading boxes into my trailer.  I knew the ramp was too steep and wet, but I kept going instead of putting something under the ramp to lessen the slope. :-O :-(

Surgery on Thursday to tweak the bone positions and secure them.  Then ~4 weeks before I can put full weight on it.

Their is little pain, but using crutches to get around my 4 level home is very frustrating....  Maybe time for that ranch home... :-)

The Problem with Obsessions

 Well... Trump finally tells the truth... I hope voters punish him for his expensive thinking...

More Gerrymandering

 Trump's TX redistricting push has now led to more states having awful gerrymandered districts... What a shame...

You Shall Have No Other Gods

 Trump etal are trying to paint the Pope and Jesus as whacko Liberals... While stating unsubstantiated lies... It will be interesting to see who the Religious Right believes...

I often wonder about those who worship Trump like a Golden Calf...
