Trump’s SAVE America Act is paranoid about vote fraud that does not exist. At the same time the GOP is ignoring very real pedophile crooks that are just waiting for arrest in the Epstein Files. One person is left that has ever been charged and convicted. Skip the fantasy and get real.
Good morning.
Trump is a chaos maker. Sometimes being disruptive is good, but you have to propose an alternative solution based on reality to the system you are disrupting. Trump has no Plan about anything. He has no clue and therefore no real solutions to anything.
Also, where Epstein Files?
Evil GOP and no-spine Dems: Democrats say they don’t oppose voter ID, but argue that GOP voting bill is too strict
I grew up during the Cold War and the US Gov’t used to run PSA’s telling us that citizens having to show their papers was what evil Communist’s in the USSR required because they were not free. The GOP has made up a lie about non-citizens voting in elections and their solution is to make every US citizen jump through hoops and pay a bunch of fees to vote. Voting is our right under The Constitution. Being able to move freely in our own country without an internal passport or “papers” is also our right.
First it was RealID, now even that is not enough, we have to have either a passport or some sort of super-duper ID in order to vote. This is government paranoia. This is a government terrified of their own citizens - terrified of democracy itself.
No taxation without representation: if we law abiding citizens are suddenly denied the right to vote we no longer have to pay taxes. That’s my opinion. Without the right to vote the Social Contract of The Enlightenment (look it up you slackers) is off.
Education in the US should be about making good citizens not about making compliant workers. After the election of Trump it is evident we have failed. Correcting this is one of the many reforms we need to make.
Good morning.
New Math: Iran can attack with hundreds of cheap $30K drones that use a glorified lawnmower engine while the US has to shoot them down with defensive missiles that cost $1M each. Others can do the same. This is not sustainable by any measure.
Ohio is the designated landing area for all meteors in the Midwest.
All right, all right, the line forms here: Panama, Canada, Greenland, Venezuela, Iran and now Cuba all to be ruled by the USA. And you lot better all be grateful and say “thank you.” and wear proper suits and shoes when you get summoned to grovel before Emperor Trump.
That is all.
I think we should rename the Strait of Hormuz to the Strait of Trump.
Good morning.
Trump is ranting about withdrawing the US from NATO. Trump seems to be particularly dim about the purpose of NATO and thinks it’s his own personal empire to command. It’s not. But that won’t stop Trump from throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child, and doing something stupid.
The RFK, Jr./MAHA Food Pyramid:
Main Dish: Cheap Red Meat.
Side Dish: Meat
2nd Side: Minimally Processed Gruel
Salad: Meat.
Good morning.
Rumor: Russia has had the complete, un-redacted Epstein files for years.
Notice how Trump always blames Zelensky and Ukraine and beats up on them for not coming up with a peace agreement with Putin’s Russia. He never really blames Russia.
I think these two things are related.
Trump spreads lies about illegal voting by non-citizens so he wants the GOP Senate to pass the SAVE America Act which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote. This is a Communist style move to suppress the legitimate voting rights of citizens. Show me your papers! Trump is a Commie
Good morning.
Headlines: California passed a billionaires tax and now the news is full of billionaires fleeing to Texas and Florida like rats.
Meanwhile in Iran war, Trump has no clue what’s going on, but we get to pay the price. Will cost of war force Trump to impose his own billionaire tax?
This whole thing about Trump buying shoes for his goons is creepy. Also creepy, are said goons wearing the shoes that are obviously the wrong size. It shows how weak they are.
Meanwhile, we’re getting deeper in a war with Iran, and gas prices are soaring.
Epstein? What Epstein?
Good morning.
Headlines: Trump sending 2,500 Marines to Persian Gulf. Maybe this is a bluff, or maybe not. Once they are there the temptation is to use US forces on the ground. This is called Mission Creep. This is exactly how Forever Wars start.
Good morning.
Fun Facts:
I don’t have a podcast. I have a tendency to put my foot in my mouth so this is a Good Thing.
I’ve been asked, but have never been on a podcast. See foot in mouth above, plus I’m boring.
Technology and I don’t get along so well any more, see #’s 1 and 2 above.
RSS Feed Discovery: Feedle is a RSS feed search engine and a good place to discover good feeds.
Good morning.
I admit I was wrong. I predicted that more sports teams would take the names of cephalopods (eg. octopuses, squids, etc) but for some reason that hasn’t caught on. My bad. Maybe it will gain popularity in Japan?
Right, somebody bring Sculley and Mulder out of retirement and release those UFO files. Cos, I want to know if we are being invaded by giant frogs or not.
Good morning. Trump says he won’t sign any bills until SAVE America Act passes
Make no mistake about it, the Save Act is a power grab, a coup, designed to undermine states rights over elections and disenfranchise voters so Republicans can stay in power. It has nothing to do with aliens voting.
The local Donald Trump | British Petroleum gas station is raising gas prices like crazy.
Good morning.
I hate the time change. I have a very rigid body clock which wants to carry on with my old schedule for weeks after the change. Losing an hour in the Spring makes me feel I’m late all the time. Fie!
Good morning. Today is Frozen Pizza Friday, which is a major reoccurring event celebrated weekly by those of us who are in the know but to cheap to order pizza from a real pizza joint.
In other news, everything has gone to shit thanks to Trump and his stooges and it’s going to get worse.
Taking the audio jack out of smartphones was a huge mistake.
