Google Kowtowing to the Idiocracy

Screw Google and screw those idiots occupying the White House.  This the GULF OF MEXICO.  It is not the Gulf of America.  I am surprised El puto pendejo naranja  did not name it the Gulf of Trump.

I am so embarrassed to be a citizen of this country with such a person occupying the presidency.  I have been wanting to call this administration The Gang That Could Not Shoot Straight, but that would be a compliment for them.

When will this nightmare end?

I complained to Google about this change and it would wonderful if a lot of other folks did too.  However, they do not make it easy to send them feedback.  I hunted around for 10 minutes before I figured out how.  And then there is the fact that they really do not care what I think.

Somebody Please Explain to Me

Somebody please explain to me why tArse, President Muskrat and the dysfunctional association formerly known as the Republican Party are hell bent on destroying the American economy, the social safety net, our relationship with the rest of the world, the climate, and on and on…

A  new day, and another day of a stock market meltdown.

A  new day, and another day of other countries responding to this unfathomable trade war.

A  new day, and another day of praising dictators and disparaging anyone not genuflecting to his Royal Assness.

Someone please enlightened me.  Try as I might, none of this makes a lick of sense to me that this clown alley of misanthropic, malevolent misfits are attempting to accomplish.

Soy americana, también

Click to see bigger

I have been working with a young Ecuadorian lady, Micaela, for years for Spanish conversation practice via Skype. She is interesting, curious, and intelligent. I pay for an hour of her time on iTalki, but we frequently find ourselves still conversing 10, 15 and on occasion 20 minutes after our allotted time, if she does not have a class backed up against mine.  She does have one trait that reminds me of my son.  She frequently plays Devil’s Advocate to whatever I say.  Sometimes I think this is just her personality, but I sometimes think it is her method of keeping the conversation going.  I have mentioned Devil’s Advocate Micaela in previous posts.

Awhile back we were having a conversation of which I do not remember the theme.  For some reason I made the comment Continue reading “Soy americana, también”

Word of the Day – Doge

Word of the Day… not actually daily, but whenever I encounter one I think worth sharing and there are not too many on my landing page.  Words have always fascinated me, and I am a fan of all types of word play, especially puns.  I have a hard time not looking up a word that I am unfamiliar with or not sure of the definition. I like those authors that stretch me by throwing in unexpected terms.   

  • Noun: Doge
    1. the chief magistrate in the former republics of Venice and Genoa.
  • Synonyms:
    1. prime minister
    2. leader
    3. premier
    4. chancellor
    5. PM
    6. President
    7. head of government
    8. head of state
    9. chief of state
    10. commander in chief
    11. chief minister
    12. first minister
    13. chief executive
    14. head of the government
    15. ruler
  • Usage:
    1. The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), officially the U.S. DOGE Service Temporary Organization, is an initiative of the second tAss administration informally led by that POS Elon Musk
  • Encountered:
    1.  Okay, this has been niggling at the back of my mind for a while, so I finally looked it up.  I knew I had read this word somewhere, history being one of my prime non-occupational interest.  I am sure the POS that is Elon Musk (who probably dreamed up this name) is well aware of the double entendre. I doubt tAss has a inkling as it is doubtful he reads beyond the fifth grade level. I am clueless as to why this man is part of the government except, as impossible as it seems, tAss is the  biggest whore in his circle, a circle full of the worst possible excuses for Homo sapiens imaginable. I sometimes think that they must be blackmailing El puto pendejo naranja, except he has no shame.

I just need to get me some more gummies and go back to ignoring the demise of my once beloved country, to pretending this is really not happening.

The EASIEST countries to move to as an American.

I will never pry Señora out of St. Louis, and I am very fond of her…  If not for that, I would definitely see this as a possibility.   I thought Costa Rica was a wonderful country with very friendly people.  Panama I would have to visit to get a better feel for.  The thought of living in Spain has always intrigued me.  I hear wonderful things about Portugal.  While Italy is not on this list, it has a warm spot in my heart.  My Spanish is passable enough that it would not be an issue in 3 of the countries, although English is widely spoken in those three too. My main issue with Central America is that golf courses are few and far between, and not particularly cheap.  Of course if my back continues its downward journey, that will cease to be so important. I know that four of the six countries on the list have large ex-pat communities.  The other two might, but it would need some research.  I am sure he does not really mean it, but I have a long standing offer of housing in Honduras.

I just cannot get over the fact that 71 million of my fellow citizens voted for the monster that is tRump, especially with every sane, main stream Republican screaming at the top of their voice that the Emperor is wearing no clothes, please vote for for the Democrat.  There is something fundamentally wrong with the soul of this country. I won’t bore you with a rant about what I think that is.

I may be an American, but I am not a proud American, in fact I am the complete opposite after this election.

Racism and Misogyny have won out

Kamala Harris is infinitely more qualified to be President of the United States than the tRump.  I just do not understand how so many people could vote for this horrible, terribly horrible person except by explaining it by their fear of a woman of color holding the office – racism and misogyny.   They also rejected Hillary Clinton, who was probably the most qualified person to run for the office in my lifetime.

I am having fantasies of checking out of this world rather than living through the next four years of the cluster fuck that is going to be a second go round with this monster.  But I am not likely to do so as Señora has had enough pain in her life, plus I doubt I have the courage.  What is about to come down the road, however, might make me desperate enough.

As a military brat I always had a great love and pride of country. No more.  With tRump, Christian Nationalism, Project 2025, etc., I have come to hate what this country has become, especially since they seem to be doubling done on the awfulness.  It does seem like from all the history I have read, that in the long run, evil generally wins out over good. tRump is evil incarnate.

Truly if there is a god as detailed in the religious texts, he hates humanity, as we keep getting leaders of such low caliber.   I really thought that when tRump was elected the first time, it was one of the worst days of my life.  I was wrong.  Since we know what a monster tRump is this time around, yet he was elected, this time feels and is significantly worse.

The only positive thing to come out of last night is that Missourians did vote to repeal the draconian ban of abortion.  However, I fully expect tRump and gangsters to make a national abortion ban law.

May the Devil save us as apparently God is not going to do so.

And so it should not go.

Rev. Joe’s Random Thought #2,350

yeah I know you did not ask!

You should so be blessed – well cursed at times actually – with a mind such as mine, making all these weird connections between my rumored neurons. Just be thankful that I do not share all of my random thoughts.

Given the prevalence of the Irish curse on both sides of my family, I work very hard to monitor my drinking.  I am prone to a nightcap a few nights a week, and if we are socializing or partying I will have a few. I do this if for no other reason than the hangovers hurt like hell at my advanced age, plus it is not really how I want to live my life — in an altered state of mind.  We won’t even mention the havoc excessive alcohol consumption could have on your body.

HOWEVER, given the way this election cycle is going, I may violate my personal mandate and start drinking early election night, November 5th.  If tRump comes out the winner, I mostly likely will not stop until the next century. I cannot imagine living in a world that tRump and the Republicans with their 2025 agenda and bellying up to dictators will fashion.

May Shiva save us all.
