The Trump Crime Family

Wowza!  Did we get rain yesterday?  Drizzles and showers turned into torrential downpours.  We had ponding, laking, and a little flash flooding.  There was thunder and lightning, but no wind,  Believe  me, I've had enough 60 mile an hour winds to last me and my trees a lifetime.  Things are expected to dry out today, but then tomorrow we're going to have more rain.  The forecast do not bode well for yard cleanup this coming week since my big tools are all electric.

Yesterday was a very slow day, again, at the orange home improvement retailer I work for.  We do tend to be slow right now because August is vacation month.  Vacations are expensive this year; 3 days at the shore is going to cost more than a flooring installation.  When I sat down at the Flooring computer, I discovered all of my old quotes were gone.  This is a good thing.  There is a certain point in time, usually 4 weeks, when you know the customer is not going to purchase.  I've been told by our measurement services that time is actually 3 months.  I stop calling customers after a month.  At a certain point customer service ends and customer harassment begins.

Tomorrow, every specialist in my store, except for the part-timers, will be going to an 8 hour seminar down in Baltimore.  As far as I know, only 2 specialists said they were going to need a room, both are flooring associates.  Both thought this was great, they were each going to spend the night in a single room.  😂🤣😂 Yesterday I told the one I was working with that he was going to be in a double, possibly with someone he didn't know.  He did a little research and discovered I was right.  Both of these guys are... naive. 

And then this bit of news started breaking yesterday.

Whispers are saying that Jeanine Pirro dropped the reflecting pool vandalism charges because she wants to be fired, that she knows something bad is coming down and she and her box of wine will be much safer out of Orangie's orbit.

And the money laundering bit?  My understanding is that Orangie and his kin were selling excessively over-priced condos for cash... mostly Russian cash.  And  this is not the first time.  We're not just talking about Capital One.  Deutsche Bank also severed ties with Orangie's crime family in 2021.  They all know he's a crook.  Now we know why he wants he wants immunity from audits for not only himself, but his family, and his businesses.  He truly is a scourge upon America, a con man extraordinaire.  

So, is Mitch McConnell going to suddenly catch pneumonia and die tomorrow?

Dissecting Evil

 Tuesday.  This is one of those randomly scheduled days off I've been dealing with for the past couple of weeks.  My next consecutive days off, or weekend as some like to call those two days, will not happen until January 26th.  I am not excited about having to wait.  

Since I am off today, I stayed up and watched episodes 2 and 3 of The Stand.  It's entertaining, but some changes have been made.  In episode 3 Tom Cullen, a 42 year old mentally challenge man, enters the storyline and his arrival is completely different then in the novel.  The mini-series' reliance on flashbacks to tell a majority of the story is a definite weak point.  No suspense or tension builds since the good guys are already in Boulder.  While being more detailed then the first version telecast way back when, the individual story arcs lack intensity.  Ah, well, it is a monster of a book.

Tom Cullen

As might be expected, the Fallout from the 6th is continuing to grow, or, as many are want to say "this shit's getting deeper."  I don't have cable, but when I talked to my sister yesterday, she told me you can't turn it's on every channel.  My friend Betsy said that even Court TV is dissecting this evil as though it was some scurrilous rat.  Corporations are now beginning to hold their donations from Republicans, and we all know how important money is to them.  While this will in no way be permanent, think of this as a temporary assist in getting the far right extremists out of office.  

Deutsche Bank is no longer going to deal with the Idiot Jerk, and Signature Bank has closed out 2 of his personal accounts.  New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick has refused to accept the Medal of Freedom from him.  Ouch.

Supposedly, his base has other events planned for January 17, and inauguration day.  They don't understand how bad they will look if they if they do pull this shit.  This is how they write themselves out of existence.  

Size

 Biggie threw - up a white sock he'd eaten.  Dogs will eat anything.  Now I have one odd sock.

We got the treadmill up into the computer / workout room.  Very heavy.  Some touching up of the walls will be necessary.  Assembly took about 3 hours, not because of difficulties, I just decided to take my time.  There was a lot of crawling, and crouching, and kneeling in screwing together and screwing on plastic parts to prettify the angles and joints.  I did a 5 minute walk / jog and started to learn what all of the buttons do, and and then I folded it up.

Biggie doesn't like it in the folded position.  Twice last night he got off the bed to go lay in front of the door to the Computer / workout room.  The 2nd time, I lowered it down to it's running position.  That satisfied him and he went back to bed and is still sleeping.

I see the Idiot Jerk pardon a bunch of people, 2 of his accomplices in his 2016, Russian aided, election steal.  He also commuted the sentences of 3 Republicans who were serving time for corruption.  This was to be expected.

Oh, and the banker for the Idiot Jerk, the one who oversaw his personal loans at Deutsche Bank has resigned.  I liked the bit where Deutsche stepped in when most banks believed him to be radioactive.  That happens when you default on most of your loans.  I'm thinking she knows that's going to happen again.  And it wasn't only the Idiot Jerk she was financially involved with, evidently Jared was also one of her clients.  I'm thinking this does not look good for Deutsche Bank.

And finally, here's a little Christmas song from Tom Goss.  Enjoy.

First Family From Hell

 We have rain this morning.  It rained yesterday, and the day before.  It's a little late in the growing season, if you know what I mean.  I have peppers and tomatoes.  My cucumbers?  meh.  I'll probably try cucumbers again next year, however I probably won't put them in a container.  I'll probably just stick them in the ground like most people.

Yesterday I found out that Sunday will be the last day we will enjoy the presence of a certain Specialist.  How many of those days will he actually work?  Don't know.  He is neither popular, nor does he care for those of us he works with.  He desperately needed to be number one, even if it meant lying about it.  He liked telling people his sales made him the Number One Specialist in the store.  It wasn't true.  We have a kitchen designer whose sales beat his hands down.  Still, that didn't stop him from trying to impress customers with his sales tales.  He's a lot like the Idiot Jerk in the White House, a man who has no problem lying to impress.

I see Blogger is now inserting blank lines between paragraphs.  

Speaking of the Idiot Jerk... Deutsche Bank is turning over the documentation he provided from back when he filed for some very large loans.  Actually, I do believe they began complying with the subpoenas back in April, 2019.  Of course, this is one of the main reasons why he's lying to get his sorry ass re-elected.  A sitting president can not be taken into custody,  The second Biden is sworn in, however, that protection disappears.  The minute Biden wins, the exodus of evil will commence.  I, for one, would not be surprised if his future includes a Reality Show in Russia:  Who Wants to be an Ex-President.  Maybe they could do something with Ivanka Danka turning over letters... or numbers... or fashioning striped sweats suits as Mealy Mouthed Jared collects cash from the audience.  I don't know about you, but I can see Melanoma making a boatload of cash from a solid stable of hookers models.  Or, maybe the show will be similar to The Osbournes.  They could call it The First Family From Hell.

Let's end this with a parting shot of one of America's phoniest Cracker Jack Christians.  This is how you grow respect.

Deluge

Yesterday was dry, today it's going to be wet.  Isais has arrived in Central PA.  If this forecast holds true, Anne Marie in Philly will get around 2 inches, here in Harrisburg we should get about 4.  When you're talking about rain, 4 inches is a lot.

I tried to get the dogs to go out before the deluge arrives... Biggie doesn't like to get wet.  Because he's a good dog, eventually he will go out.  I keep a large towel waiting for just such occasions.  

My ride yesterday was in West Cork, Ireland, along the Atlantic coast in a place called Skibbereen.  It was very nice, but very hilly, and we know how much I love hills.

So far this year I've ridden 1490 miles, only 1010 more to hit my goal of 2500, and I'm actually ahead of where I'm supposed to be.

I saw where the Idiot Jerk called Birx pathetic because she refused to bear false witness about the pandemic.  Because it's now everywhere, people will get sick and die everywhere.  Where the virus goes, his poll numbers drop.  He will keep on lying about this, to do otherwise would make him culpable of so much death.  

Oh, and in case you didn't see, a little more information was released yesterday regarding the investigation into the Idiot Jerk's finances.  Bank and Insurance fraud... oooohhhh.  I always suspected there was more to this then just hooker payoffs.  And it's not just him.  There was an information drop about Ivanka Danka and her mealy mouthed husband, something about executives from Deutsche Bank and a property they had purchased.  The Idiot Jerk's family has gotten some serious loans from Deutsche Bank, just in case you didn't know.  Dear me, it looks like some serious rain is going to be falling on their parade.

Bank on This!

Yesterday was rather busy here:  a couple of loads of laundry, raking leaves in the back yard, a visit to my Mom thrown in with a couple of short naps with the dogs (they love that).
For those who didn't see, Russia was banned from the 2018 Winter Olympics basically because without drug enhancement, their athletes are average, and let's face it, average doesn't win Gold Medals.  I suspect this might upset some of the Idiot Jerk supporters because... this is just one more indication that Putinland is corrupt and evil - cheat, he loves it when they win by cheating.
And in Washington?  Well, we're looking at a government shut-down on Saturday.  There are no Democratic, or Independent votes offering to help the Idiot Jerk and his supplicants.  If you look back, I believe I said this was one of the reasons Chuck and Nancy jumped on board his request for a delay.  Oops.  We're about to see the 'art of the deal' fail... big time.
But the really big news was that Deutsche Bank is going to turn over the Idiot Jerk's financial records to Mueller and his Team.  I'll be honest, I was surprised to discover that when it comes to getting a loan, the Idiot Jerk doesn't go American, he goes German..  In fact it turns out he owes a fortune to Deutsche Bank.

My money says that news gave him the hot runs.  Not only does he love this bank, evidently so do all of his spawn (Kushner has what? a $200 million + loan from them).  For a Forensic Accounting this must be a ticket to the Promised Land.  This is how they got Manafort - looking at his finances.  People who were upset when he refused to release his Income Tax Returns will find these figures much, much more satisfying.  His Net Worth will probably drop... maybe dramatically, when his total debt is released... and you know it'll be released, or leaked.  Is this going to hurt the Idiot Jerk?  You can bank on it.
