Good Article: The world has a verdict on 100 days of Trump 2.0

From the article:

“But the lesson for Americans couldn’t be clearer, even at a moment when the domestic carnage inflicted by the Trump regime feels limitless and irreparable. To everyone else in the world, his first 100 days have been a flatulent self-own, and an unexpected boon for normie centrist politicians all over the democratic map who seemed, only months ago, to be facing Armageddon. Right-wing populists like Viktor Orbán and Marine Le Pen have begun to back away in embarrassment: Sorry, new phone. Donald who?”

Read the whole article here: The world has a verdict on 100 days of Trump 2.0: Wow, what a loser

No comments from me except that it is a good article worth the read.

Better If I Stayed Home

I am beginning to think it would be better for me not to go out of the house for the next four years.  If there were any power in prayer that four years would be much shorter, much much shorter.  Is it bad to pray to wake up the next morning and be able to read someone’s obituary?  Of course, I really do not believe in prayer power.  When I feel the urge to pray I interpret it as telling me that there is a problem I need to focus on or let go.

It is springtime and with that comes a few trips to the local Lowes, Home Depot, etc.  As I was walking into Lowes this Friday morning there was a middle-aged “gentleman” wearing a t-shirt that read “Trump Won“.  In all likelihood it was from the 2020 election cycle and the attempted coup of our democracy.

I saw that t-shirt and it was like a demon took over my body.  My face flushed with anger, the flight or fight response kicked in, mainly on the fight side.  Before I could catch myself (normally I just shake my head and try to ignore such ignorance), I found myself putting my right hand on his left shoulder and proclaiming, “most of us are sorry that fucking idiot won.”

His response, “I love this shirt.”

Fortunately I was able to control myself and not escalate the situation.  What nearly popped out was something along the lines of, “well that shirt does scream I have a  low IQ  or I lack critical thinking abilities.”

I am blaming it on the gummies.  The first week after the election I imbibed more marijuana that week than I had in the whole previous 40 years.  I have slowed down a little, but not much.  The one thing I ever had faith in or put my belief in was the United States of America.  Now El puto pendejo naranja and his gang of fascist thugs are busily dismantling this country.  There is no sane or logical reasons for what they are doing to my once beloved country and to the world to some extent.  I absolutely cannot stand reality right now.  Yeah RawDog2, I know THC does not make you violent, but it does relax inhibitions.

Pray for me.  Either I am going to end up in the hospital or in jail for battery after a confrontation of this type.

Keying Telsas – I stand corrected

In a previous post, As seen on the back of a Telsa, I stated while I had heard of Telsa dealerships being vandalized, I had not heard of individual cars being targeted. I stand corrected.

Folks are targeting individual’s Telsas: Man faces felony charge for vandalizing Tesla

While I would never do it, I have fantasized about spray painting a slogan or two on the nightmarish Telsa Cybertruck.  Has there ever been a more ill-conceived mass produced vehicle?

I would not buy a 100% electric car at this point as they do not fit my style of driving given their current range and long charge times.  And if I did it would not be a Telsa.  I decided several years Continue reading “Keying Telsas – I stand corrected”

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.

MAGA Man (A Neil Young Parody – Canada Ain’t Your 51st State)

71,000,000 of my fellow citizens voted for this horrible waste of protoplasm. And now the whole world is laughing at us… Chaos and destruction to fulfill this psychopath’s delusions of grandeur and the Evangelicals’ End Days delusion.

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”

A Sane Politician – Gov. Pritzker

Unfortunately for me, Pritzker is across the Mississippi River in Illinois.  Missouri Republicans have absolutely lost touch with reality.

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.
