So, is today gong to be the last cold day for this winter? Right now it's 15 (F) outside. That's many degrees below normal for this time of year. Sometime tonight our warm-up is predicted to begin, with the thermometer climbing up into the 30s (F) tomorrow and the 40s (F) by Friday. Those temps will feel downright balmy.
Yesterday I began assembling the new filter for the big aquarium. The process was a bit frustrating because the assembly sheet that was included was not for my filter. Nope. The directions were for a much different filter, so assembly was achieved by looking at the picture on the front of the box.
I also had lunch with my cousin who at one time was a big Orange Anus supporter. Times have changed now that Social Security might be involved. She and her husband are in the FO stage.
Otherwise yesterday was pretty much a day of slack. Well, for the most part. I did do laundry, and hand wash the dishes. I'm going to be doing that more and using the dishwasher less. Water consumption, you know? Or maybe I should say water expense. This winter is going to be very expensive when it comes to my heating expense. To compensate I want to lower my water bill.
And then yesterday this was one of the many things that happened.
Of course, that was just one of a number shit show extravaganzas that happened. The Orange Anus called Vladimir Zelensky a dictator. Even conservative Ben Shapiro is calling that lie a lie. If I might, let me play the devil's advocate and say there's probably not a lot of cohesion in Orangie's brain right now, nothing more than random thoughts trying for put forth his blow bro Putin's talking points. Let's be honest here, he's a 78 year old man who'd rather just spend the rest of his sunset years cheating at golf. Sadly, that does appear to be what he's doing while Elonia runs the government.
Let me return to my cousin and her husband, they are aged Republicans who believe a lot of the GOP's propaganda. They are very concerned about their Social Security, and not in the inane Susan Collins way, where concern is a quick wrench of her thin fingers and a momentarily furrowed brow. They are worried, though rather than blame Orangie, their ire is directed at Elonia. They were almost joyous talking about the protests, telling me how they had watched thousands of people all over the country protesting Elonia. Being the kind spirit I am, I didn't let them know that those protests were against Orangie, too. If this continues, I wouldn't be surprised if it's the MAGA leopards who end up eating Elonia's face.
His syphilitic brain is getting worse, as is his need to please his master, or masters, Leon and Vlad.
ReplyDeleteAll he wants to do is sign Executive Orders that make him look important and play golf.
DeleteIf it weren’t so scary it would be funny. I was just reading about Bannon going after Musk and $10.8 million so far this year for Orange Anus golf outings.
ReplyDeleteIt's truly surreal. This is not going to end well for either Orangie or his cultists
DeleteCheeto IS a walking, talking shitshow. Those diapers are preternaturally full.
ReplyDeletePeople have talked about his cognitive decline ever since he was president the first time. It seems that his brain can only catch the linear notes on whatever it is that's going on and then mixes and matches them in his speeches. Also, Vlad is whispering in his ear, so yeah.
And the FA/FO scenario is always fun to watch.
XOXO
His stupidity is now the brand of the Republican party, and even if they wanted to divorce themselves from him, it's too late.
DeleteA part of you can't wonder if Elon Musk is there to replace Trump. Part of me wonders if they're all going to throw a coup and knock Trump out and put musk in. I also saw an article where Trump has already spent $10 million dollars in taxpayers money on the trip to the football game and various golf games.
ReplyDeleteMusk is already doing that quietly behind the scenes, though he's failing miserably.
DeleteTrump is Putin’s little puppet and Muskrat will in time implode.
ReplyDeleteMy magat relatives believe Social Security has to be privatized to save it and are all in with Trump and Muskrat.
They believe Wall Street is good with money and will make Social Security profitable. Never mind all the bailouts through the years given to corporate America by the Federal Government and its middle class tax payers that saved Wall Street from disintegrating. Or the traders who claimed in the giddy 80’s and 90’s they were all stoked on cocaine on the Wall Street trading floor. What could possibly go wrong with a pack of fucked up coke heads running Social Security ? Social Security will become Social Unsecurity.

They tried to privatize Social Security before, under W, and luckily they failed. Wall Street is too fickle, it goes up, and then it goes down, and sometimes the bottom falls out. Anyone thinking they should tie Social Security to the stock market has evidently not been paying attention.
DeleteThey tried privatized Social Security in Chile (as advised by American neo-conservatives)tied to their borsa/stock exchange and everything went seem to go well until they had a bad
Deleterecession. Their government had to step in to save the whole private system that was at near collapse as millions faced poverty at retirement. A private system that had little oversight, corrupt handlers and investments and only covered one third of their working population.
So much for private Social Security :(

The stock market is fickle. It only works if you're extremely wealthy and can afford to take the hit when it drops.
DeleteIt so frustrating right now. But all the "I told you so" and GOP buyer's remorse aren't going to change the fact that we still have 47 months to go. We warmed up quite a bit today so I am hoping winter is done but I think this is just the first of our many false springs.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes, the pain of a the false spring. And I think everything will reach a head long before 2028.
