My Reaction to Obama's Speech

I don't give a damn any more what this guy has to say.  No matter what it is, it always turns out to be a cover for another sellout.

I care about what he does, and at this point, that isn't giving me much of a good feeling.

I got into the first minute when he said that since our founding we have always valued free markets and I turned it off....

We had tariffs and quotas on everything....free markets came about in the 1950's...

He said the right words. Now, we need to watch for the action. Unfortunately, most of the action will not come until after the 2012 elections, although we do have a year left to watch.

The current budget fight should be interesting.

Once again he has presented what the end of negotiations should produce as the starting point for those negotiations - exactly what the Republicans want. Now they can attack this reasonable mid-point with overwhelming media coverage of their lies (such as the entire Ryan budget plan) and make what the remaining few good, but spineless, Democrats swallow something that moves our country ever closer to the totalitarian oligarchy I expect to see in place within the next decade or two.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
