Random Thoughts – August 29

  • The GOP doesn’t like the mirrored reflection that Gavin Newsom has shown them.
  • Didn’t Trump claim during J6 that only the Speaker of the House could call in the National Guard?
  • Could it be that Ron DeSantis is scared of LGBTQ+ folks because he’s still in the closet?
  • It’s a felony to throw a sandwich at law enforcement, but it’s not a felony to beat a police officer with a flagpole?
  • Slavery is part of this country’s history. You can’t erase what’s already happened.
  • I don’t care about Taylor Swift’s engagement, but I don’t wish her ill, either.
  • Donald Trump cries and lashes out like a child when someone talks bad about him or when someone succeeds, and especially when that someone is a woman or person of color or both.
  • ICE is nothing more than today’s Gestapo.
  • Republicans will go down in history as the party that let America down.
  • JFK, Jr. isn’t a doctor or a scientist. He’s an idiot. Vaccines save lives!
  • Some people say, “Guns are not the problem. People are the problem.” So, why would you let the problem have guns?
  • Some say, “If ICE picks me up, I can prove I’m a US citizen!” Who are you going to prove it to? Without due process, without going before a judge, you won’t be able to prove anything.
  • Where’s Elon? Is he our modern-day Waldo?
  • If any Democrat had ever done one thing that DJT has done, Republicans would have a lynch mob out to get him.

Well, that’s all I have for now. My mind is scrambled with all of the BS going on! I hope each and every one of you has a great Labor Day weekend. Be safe!

Ashamed

I used to feel ashamed that I was (and still am) on Medicaid. I never dreamed I’d end up disabled and dependent on anyone, let alone State Aid. It’s not my fault. I busted my ass at several jobs along the way and my last was self-employment. I had my own home business and busted my ass trying to make a living. In the end, over a decade later, I had to close my business because I just couldn’t do the work. I had to jump through hoops just to get on SSI, but I qualified for Medicaid after they verified my medical need.

So, here I sit. I am on SSI and receive a small retirement income, but the combination of the two still isn’t enough to live on if I were to live alone. I get SNAP (Food Stamps), but that’s not enough for an entire month. Seriously.

As I was saying, I used to feel ashamed that I receive any kind of aid because of the judgemental bullshit people spew. Some seem to think that “people can get a job instead of relying on taxpayers” blah, blah, blah. You’ve probably heard it all. No, what I’m ashamed of now is not that I’m on State Aid but the fact that our fucking worthless piece of shit asshole so-called president has made sure to strong-arm his party into compliance to pass that Big Beautiful Bill, that isn’t beautiful at all! So many cuts will be underway, and millions of people are going to lose whatever help they get because of it. I may lose what I get, and then what do I do? I know many people are worse off than I am, but I can’t afford to pay out of pocket for doctor visits, or the medications I need to be able to function. With soaring prices, it will be harder than ever on my measly income.

Does the Republican Party care? Hell no. They’re more worried about DJT calling them names or removing them from committees or whatever the hell they think he can do to them. Why don’t they just grow a pair and stand up to him? I think they actually like the fact that they (Republicans) have control and not the Democrats. They will do anything to keep that control. But you know what? They’re going to be voted out and replaced with Democrats come the primaries. Good. I’m sick of their bull shit. I could go on and on about what they’re doing, but that’s another post.

This post is about how ashamed I am of Republican politicians, DJT, Republican voters, and yes, even the Democrats, for allowing such a deplorable man to run for POTUS. I’m ashamed of this country for allowing that man to take such a hold on people. I’m ashamed of people for letting him brainwash them. I’m ashamed that they’re so stupid they can’t think for themselves and SEE what he is doing.

If you voted for that piece of shit, then I’m ashamed of you, too.

WTF??

MAGA folks, I hope you’re happy.

I hope you’re happy when your Social Security is cut or when your kids don’t get to eat lunch at school. I hope you ugly cry when your Medicaid or SNAP is cut. I hope you freakin’ truly begin to understand what you have done.

You have elected a narcissistic ignoramus to run this country. He has put an immigrant billionaire in charge of cutting waste – waste in their eyes, that is. They aren’t investigating and presenting proof of waste or fraud. They’re just cutting. They’re firing folks who help keep us safe, like air traffic controllers and the nuclear security folks. The latter were unfired but our country is still at risk. Every single act of firing and cutting weakens our country. I hope you’re ready for everything you’re going to lose.

The only immigrant I see taking your jobs away is Elmo Musk. Those migrant workers who are being deported were doing the jobs that YOU are too proud to take. I guess you’re ready to go out and pick your own fruits and vegetables for less than minimum wage.

Speaking of immigrants… Elmo Musk is an immigrant. Let’s deport his ass, too. Oh, wait. He’s not brown-skinned, is he?

I hope you will finally understand that your tax dollars are being wasted by this numbskull of a president. Yes, wasted. Remember the Super Bowl? It cost $15+ million to attend and he didn’t even stick around until the end. What about his trips to Maggot-lago that we pay for? What about his Daytona 500 appearances? Anytime he uses Air Force One, it is on us! All the money he has wasted boosting his own ego and trying to make us think he’s the best thing since sliced bread – that’s all GOVERNMENT WASTE but he wants to cut the things that help the people in this country.

I hope you realize your grocery and gas prices have not decreased. I hope you’ll still be able to get the medications you need. Many people aren’t that lucky. The prices of their life-saving or life-preserving medications have been so drastically raised, they aren’t able to afford them anymore. Think of your grandparents not being able to maintain their health now without the medications they need.

By the way, your narcissistic moron of a president thinks the war between Russia and Ukraine was started by Ukraine! What the literal fuck! Russia invaded Ukraine and the people of Ukraine are defending themselves! Did you notice that the “talks” to end the war didn’t even include Zelensky? Give me a freakin’ break. Who does that? Shitler is sucking up to Putin. He wants to be just like him. Open your damn eyes!!

I hope you’re sitting there with your red hat wondering what the hell you did. But I think more realistically that you’re proud of yourself. You may not have been affected yet by Shitler and Elmo’s actions. They’ll get you eventually.

The whole world is laughing at us. Every day we’re a little weaker in the eyes of the rest of the world. I hope you’re happy. I hope you’re ready for what happens.

So much to say, so little time. I just hope you’re happy with your vote, dumbass.

Mein Führer

This may not be a popular post but I don’t care. If you don’t like what I say then kindly unfollow my blog. It seems that Trump supporters can say anything they want but God forbid if anyone else has a different opinion. 

~~~

I cannot believe anyone would think that pardoning the Jan. 6 criminals is okay. I know why Mein Führer pardoned them. We all know why he pardoned them. But why would any other American citizen think it’s OK? Seriously.

They broke the law. When they stormed the Capitol that day, they disrespected those who worked there in the past, present, and future. They disrespected the police who tried to stop the escalation of violence and protect the Capitol. They disrespected this country. They disrespected our Founding Fathers. They disrespected the voting process. Their attack on the Capitol was an attack on the United States of America. It was a violent attack that led to death and serious injury. 5 Law Enforcement Officers lost their lives and there were over 140 injuries as a result of that day. Let’s not forget about the woman who was fatally shot by police as she tried to climb through a barricaded window of the building. She shouldn’t have been there in the first place but she shouldn’t have died. This all happened because Trump told them to come…and they came.

We are in for a long and unlawful 4 years of Trump’s wrath on the US Constitution, women, people of color, transgender individuals, and basically life as we know it. He will continue to get away with everything he wants to do. He doesn’t care about any of us. All he cares about is money and power. He will always look out for those with money. Always. Of those who can stop him, none of them will. They don’t have the balls to stand up to him. Why? Does Trump have something on them or do they just support him because they think Trump will help their political ambitions? 

If you voted for Trump, it will eventually fall on you. It will cost you more to take care of your family. It will cost you more for medical care. It will all eventually affect you. Trump isn’t going to look out for you. He doesn’t care about you. You’ll see. He will lead you to your own demise.

What’s Eating Aunt Debbie?

I’ve eaten at 3 different Mexican restaurants in the past month or so. Only one of them was worth going to again. I’ve eaten a lot of Mexican food over the years and no, I’ve never been to Mexico or Texas, but holy crap. When the refried beans don’t taste like beans, the enchilada sauce is like tomato sauce, and the rice tastes dirty, I won’t eat there again. I can let go of the fact that the salsa may have way too much cilantro or the tortilla chips weren’t perfect. I know that restaurants have bad days. I know there are different regions of Mexico so each restaurant may have different recipes… Maybe I’ve become too picky or my palate has just been spoiled over the many years of eating at a Tex-Mex place that has closed down. All I know is that I know what tastes good to me

Looking after Dad has been especially difficult this past month. He’s been forgetful more than usual. His gait is unsteady. He has fallen twice. His blood pressure goes high mid-day even though he takes his meds. He sleeps in his chair off and on all day long. He’s not sleeping well at night. He sleeps some but it’s not restful sleep. I worry. I stress a lot.

I don’t know about you, but I’m sick and tired and frankly pissed off to no end, of this political shitstorm! Trump is an asshole, plain and simple. Every single person he has in his entourage is an asshole. You have to be an asshole to follow an asshole. He has no morals. He wants what he wants. He is the biggest narcissist this world has ever seen. He wants to change our government to the way he wants it to be. He wants to destroy everything we have and everything we know. I could write all day about Trump and still not cover everything…

Our washing machine is being stupid. It washes fine. No problems with a load being clean. The problem is that it doesn’t just beep (a tune) when a load is finished. It decides in the middle of the night to beep off and on as if there’s an unfinished load in the machine. It needs to be serviced before I beat it to death with a baseball bat!

Well, that’s what’s eating me today. Not sure about the rest of the week. Haha. Have a great day, friends.
