Bluntness

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

Reading the Room

 Will Wednesday be wonderful?  Possibly, at least as far as the weather is concerned.  Right now our thermometers are sitting at a nice 45 (F) and it's only 0900.  If the weather forecasters are correct, we should just about hit 60 (F) today, of course, the temps will fall back to what is considered normal on Friday, still, I do think we should enjoy them while they last.

As with most Tuesdays, yesterday turned into a nappy, let's not get much done kind of day.  This doesn't mean nothing was accomplished, but that's statement is pretty much on target.  I honestly don't know why that is, but it is now a fact that Tuesdays have become a "no work, no chore, lay around the house" day.

Actually, that's not completely accurate, I started working on the back cover art for The Body in History.  This is an early conceptualization.  I might end up going with color.  I might go with the color version, but I do have to admit the black and white is rather nice.  It lends atmosphere.  The patina is from having the statue sit in the bottom of the big aquarium for several months.


And I had breakfast with my brother this morning.  He feels that if Biden had done what he said he was going to do and leave office after one term, Democrats would have had more than 3 months to prep a candidate to run against the Orange Anus.  He surprised me by telling me he thinks a ticket of Gretchen Whitmer and Josh Shapiro would have knocked the sock off the Orangie/Vance ticket.  He claims to be in the wait and see mode, though to be honest, I don't think he realizes how much damage Orange and Elonia are doing.  I doubt if he will ever understand, at least not until the damage punches him in the face.

As expected, the Republican House of Representatives passed Orangie's tax cut bill last night.  Oh, and apparently they've decided to not hold any more townhalls with their constituents.  Golly gee whiz, if these losers think those people who voted for them are angry now, give them another two weeks.  Since every day another load of shit is dumped on them.  This also goes to prove we've be wrong about Republicans.  We've always thought they were incapable of learning, and here they are demonstrating they do believe in educating themselves.  In fact, it's almost amazing that they have learned that if you don't go into the room, you don't have to read the room.

  1. I can't disagree with your brother that would have been a strong ticket. And I'm enjoying this little warm spell we're having.

  2. Oh, Shapiro was not in any way ready for the presidency, but that could be a very good ticket for 2028.
    You are right: the damage they are doing to the government is going to be astounding (they already have the world on alert with their lack of international diplomacy, so...)
    The tax cut for the rich is going to screw more than one MAGAT, I'm telling you. But again, they'll say it's 'patriotic' because it comes from Cheeto's inability to govern...

    XOXO

    1. I disagree on them saying it will patriotic, they're already forced their Congressmen and Senators to cancel Townhalls.

  3. They can stop the townhall meetings, but what will they do when their constituents demand to be heard and demand that they show up at the townhalls. You watch the repugs use it as a pretext to enact martial law and suspend the constitution, I would not put that passed them.

    1. They might like to try that, but before they can they need to get rid of a lot of the guns.

  4. MAGAts will blame Biden and believe every word The Felon says even when they can't afford food, and their MedicAid is gone, and they can't buy a house and schools fall apart.
    They're in a cult and will never get out!

    1. Agreed. Not only is he destroying the Republican party, he's destroying Christianity as well.
