How Stupid Do You Think We Are, Barack?

So, Obama announces a massive initiative to transfer the burden of paying for the country's needs marginally back to the rich, where it belongs.

Yippee!!!

Of course, he waited six years to do this, and then did it a few days after Republicans took over both houses of Congress, making it more likely that an asteroid will hit Disneyland than that this tax change will take place.

Well, I'm sure that never occurred to him.  I'm sure that it is just an accident that he waited to make a proposal like this, until the very moment that he knew it would have zero chance of being passed by either house of Congress.

I mean, we'd never ever suspect Obama of promising good things to the American people only when he will never have to explain to the rich why someone took him seriously and actually made them happen.

Anyway, my prediction:  The Cubs will win the World Series before this becomes law.  Ten times.

It can be a campaign issue without ever having a chance of being enacted. And yes, he does think we are that stupid. However, the democrats will have to do something much worse before I will vote for a republican.

I'm not voting for any Republican, that's for sure. Still, this sense that we are so stupid that we will fall for things like this really gets to me.

The Sporting News predicts that the Cubs will win the World Series, this year. I've been a Cub fan since I saw Don Cardwell throw a no-hitter in his first start as a Cub, in 1960. I can only hope.

I remember a day a few years ago, going to a Cubs game at Dodger Stadium with a friend who was a huge Cubs fan. We had a long conversation with Ernie Banks, who was sitting at the next table at the Dugout Club. He was an incredibly nice guy, and seemed genuinely as interested in us as we were in him.

Yes, it's too bad he waiting until now to go after these initiatives. He wasted years trying to get along with these asshole republicans. Still, I think did manage to hand the democrats a campaign gift for 2016 and probably a few campaign issues too. He's also teaching them that populist issues sell well, something the last bunch of democrat loser candidates couldn't figure out.

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.

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

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 that worked so we
