Bluntness

I've also been told I have little tact, so if this offends you simply ride on.

The $1.776 Billion Dollar Theft

Our outside temp here in Central PA is 72 (F).  Last evening, on my drive home from work, the temp was 94 (F).  Today was supposed to just as hot, but now, maybe not so much.  The forecast is for temps to be just shy of 95  (F), which is just a mite cooler than yesterday.  Tomorrow, we should be topping off in the mid 80s (F).  Then we're heading back down to more seasonable temps.

Before going to work yesterday, and after my workout, I did begin to seasonize my house for summer.  The little window A/C unit is now in the training room.  It's a Media which gets good ratings, however, I need to run it on high for it to work well.  Why put a window unit in the workout/computer room?  Because that room has a shared vent with the big bedroom.  Because of the way my vents are set up, the Central Air in my house is super great downstairs, not so great upstairs.  I blame the installer who was more interested in selling an install then in upgrading the venting.  My return vent on the second floor is on the floor.  That does absolutely nothing when it comes to circulating the air.

Flooring was slow yesterday.  After 1:30 PM, I was the only sales specialist at the flooring desk.  There was also an aisle associate, but when I left at 7, it was just him, and him alone.  Needless to say, sales were not good, so the staffing was not needed.  We did do good business in window A/C units, however.  

And yesterday this happened.


It happened just before I went to work, before it became a raging inferno of anger.  This morning, all I could do as I scanned through burning headlines, and scrolled down through the searing comments on social media, I could only wonder at the overwhelming stupidity... and greed, of this president.  And if the theft of tax payer dollars wasn't bad enough, nestled in this agreement is a statement saying that neither this president, nor any member of his family, nor his companies, can ever be audited again.  If this is allowed, he and his children will be allowed to steal and grift for all of eternity.  To say this is not sitting well with the American people would be an understatement.   Some think he's going to use this money to set up his own private army, not me.  That would mean spend money.  He only spends other people's money, never his own.  I think he and his advisors know the midterms are going to be brutal, that he's going to be impeached a third time.  I suspect that this $1.776 billion will be moved someplace safe.  After the Republicans lose badly with the midterms, I think he's going to create as much chaos as possible, and then take the money and run.  This is what he's done in the past, with his bankruptcies.

    1. Could they make the criminal factor more obvious?

    1. And the no audit bit is for future generations to grift and steal at will.

  3. You seem to be living in a lawless country right now. He might just use that money to buy votes to keep himself in power so that he can suck even more from the American people. It is eye opening to watch his manoeuvres from up here. Too bad all the so called assassin’s were such poor shots..said with a smile on my face. If they were out to kill they would not have missed. If they were for real he wouldn’t be out and about so much. Chicken that he is.
    We had some heat yesterday about 88 degrees. I called to get a quote on a ductless air split for my downstairs, if it can be done i dont think i can do another summer of heat.. I am 85 years old now and think I will spend some bucks to be more comfortable. I have an old heat pump upstairs but it never helped much because of were it was installed. It seems to have lost its ability to cool now,, such is life. Gigi

    1. Many are starting to think that the assassination attempts were staged. And we're not lawless, it just the Republican elected officials. If you can afford the split then go for it. We do reach an age where comfort becomes very important.

  4. Just when we think we’ve hit rock bottom, we find the fascoid string-pullers of Trump have taken us to a bottomless pit.

    1. Honestly, Rex, I've stopped think about a bottom, since this decline seems to be bottomless.

  5. Unbelievable.
    Truly corrupt and blatant. But the outrage is not coming from MAGAts because they would DO this. And I accept the outrage from people who voted for Kamala. The rest? I blame them. This is on brand for Cankles. I am absolutely not surprised. THIS is what he was going to do.
    He cannot die soon enough.
    This smells like desperation tho. You may be right about the elections.

    XOXO

    1. You are so right, this is totally unbelievable. This is what he and his "allies" have been planning since the first time he was elected.

    1. Our Department of Justice, run by Trump's personal lawyer, made a deal with the IRS, run by a Trump Cabinet member, to give Trump$1.8 million dollars and America's getting very angry.
