So Long and Thanks for All the Fish

Well I sure hope my fellow Americans enjoyed their 243 years of Democracy because it just ended.

The US Senate just voted to allow the President of the United State to do whatever he pleases, including rigging elections, without having to worry about any consequences.

We are officially a dictatorship now.  Let Fascism Reign.

Well That’s Just Great

This week has seen the end of American democracy, and now tonight we’re learning that the Red Sox have agreed to trade Mookie Betts to the Dodgers.

Well isn’t that special?  Maybe the universe can just come over here and kick me in the balls while it’s at it?

Boycott

I’m not watching the State of the Union tonight.  The Union I used to know is gone.  What we used to call the Nazi party and now call the Republican party has taken over and removed the Constitution.

I am wondering one thing though… what’s the over/under on Trump having Pelosi arrested during his sham of a speech?

Aren’t You Proud

Aren’t you proud to be an American today (assuming you, dear reader, live in the United States.  If not, just roll with it)?

Today’s the day.  Today’s the day the Constitution gets used as toilet paper and flushed down the proverbial toilet.

First the Senate refused to hold confirmation for a presidential appointee for the Supreme Court.

Then the people of the United States elected a fascist to the white house.

Now the fascist has been impeached by the House of Representatives and the US Senate is going to rubber stamp the fascist’s desired outcome for the impeachment trial.

The President of the United States of America has been impeached for, among other things, coercing a foreign government into interfering in a Presidential election and the Senate impeachment trial is going to proceed without either side being able to call witnesses.

What do you call a country where the outcome of criminal trials are pre-determined based on political party membership?  A dictatorship?  A fascist regime?  I’m not sure, but you most definitely do not call it a democracy, that is for certain.  The rule of law doesn’t apply to you if you are a member of the right political party.  The Constitution of the United States of America does not apply to you if you are a member of the right political party.

We should all start rehearsing our nazi salutes, because that’s where we are headed right now.  Everyone take your personal copy of the Constitution and throw it in the trash.  That is much more polite than what McConnell is doing.  He took his copy of the Constitution, crumpled it up into a ball, shoved it up his ass, covered it with shit, and then flushed it down the toilet.

God Bless America, let fascism reign.

Representative Brian Mast (R-FL) is an Idiot – May 7, 2017 Edition

This one isn’t as bad as yesterday’s fascist collaborator moron in Congress video, but it’s got me just as pissed off.  Give it a view, it’s a quickie.

Congressman, how do you know that this bill isn’t going to destroy the lives of millions of people seeing as there was no analysis done on it by any economic or medical groups at all and there is zero evidence to show that anything it says will even come close to doing anything it’s supposed to?

“I know.”

I know things too, you fucking piece of dog shit.  I know you just raped millions of constituents in order to line the pockets of the super rich.  Hey congressman from Florida, how many of your voters are on medicaid?  You know medicaid, that thing you just gutted?  Who bought you, congressman?  Who bought your vote?  Which fascists do you answer to now?

Enjoy your stay in the US House of Representatives.  It will come to an abrupt end in just under two years.

Rep. Raul Labrador (R-ID) is an Unimaginable Schmuck – May 6, 2017 Edition

Watch this.  Beware though, you are about to see a demonstration of utter stupidity that cannot be fathomed.  Watch it anyway.

 

During a town hall meeting one of his constituents happened to mention that people will die without health insurance.  He responded by saying that no one dies from not having access to healthcare.

This friggin’ schmuck actually said that.  You alt-right fascist apologists can’t call this one fake news because it’s right there on video.  I heard it with my own ears.  This guy said the single dumbest thing I have ever heard a politician utter.  No one dies from not having access to healthcare.

Tell me, Congressman Labrador, you insulting piece of shit, what would happen to my step son if he didn’t have access to healthcare?  He’s a type one diabetic and needs insulin to live.  What would happen to him?

Tell me, Congressman Labrador, you mental midget, what would have happened to my mother if, when she developed a brain tumor, she had not had access to the healthcare that saved her life?  Tell me, you fucking tool.  Tell me what would have happened to her.

Voters in Idaho.  Come the mid-term election, you know what to do.  Kick this despicable schmuck out of office.  Send his moron ass packing.  We’re counting on you.

Distract Me

I want to be able to set up my guitar rig to run two amplifiers at once.  I need an A/B/Y switch with a phase inverter and a ground loop lift.  This looks perfect.

I want to be able to record one of the band’s upcoming shows.  I had a method in place to record rehearsals on two tracks for stereo.  One mic on the bass amp, one on the guitar amp, two on the drums.  We already had three vocal mics, but at practice I was just taking the mono out of the PA head to cover all three voices.  I don’t want to record a gig that way.  I want to record each mic onto it’s own track so that I can mix it later.  That means I need to find a way to get seven separate audio tracks into GarageBand (or maybe Logic?) simultaneously.  That means I need a new USB interface that can handle more than two inputs.  This looks perfect.

I want to learn a new programming language.  My wife and I are thinking that Ruby would be a lot of fun to learn.  I am going to set up Ruby school a couple of nights a week and we are going to learn it together.  Before we start though, we need a text book to work through.  O’Reilly usually publishes great programming books.  This might be perfect.

There are good, healthy reasons for me to want to do all of these things, as well as many more.  I want to better myself.  I want to learn new things.  All good reasons.

There’s one other reason though…

If I am working on projects like this, I won’t be thinking about how our fascist president has attacked two countries during his three months in office, and now he’s threatening to attack a third, and moving troops to face off with a fourth.

If I’m mixing a recording of the band, I won’t be thinking about how the world is about to end.

Sean Spicer Needs to Lose His Job – 4/11/17 Edition

I can’t even put it into words.  The level of stupidity is beyond anything I’ve ever witnessed by a public speaker before.  It’s astounding.  I have a hard time believing it, really.

To say that Adolf Hitler never used chemical weapons… Is Zyklon B not a chemical?  Is it not a weapon?  Is that what Mr Spicer was trying to say when he continually argued his point?  Then to say Hitler never used chemical weapons on his own people?  How many dead German Jews does it take before one accepts that he used chemical weapons on his own people?  One Thousand?  One Million?  What’s the definition, Sean?  Please share your reasoning with the rest of the Nation.

This is unforgivable.  The fact that the fascist piece of shit president didn’t fire him IMMEDIATELY tells us all we really need to know about this administration, doesn’t it?

I can’t believe that this happened today.  During Passover, no less.  I can’t believe this is what has become of my country.

Trump is a Fascist Idiot – 3/24/17 Edition

Donny Cheeto Fascist and Paul Vichy France Ryan got their political asses kicked today and I am loving every second of it.  It was beautiful.  The look on Vichy Paul’s face  as he told the nation that the great billionaire’s tax break bill that most people are calling the trumpcare healthcare bill (is “care” the right word considering 24 million or so people would lose their coverage?) didn’t have enough votes to pass so they pulled it from the House session!

Glorious!

Now I understand that the fascists and their collaborators have control of the white house, the house, and the senate and that eventually they will destroy the entire United States population.  That doesn’t matter today.  Right now… today… The fascists have failed.  They were the losers we know and hate, through and through.

Take that, you fascist cheeto piece of shit.

Trump is a Fascist Idiot – 3/23/17 Edition

I had a really busy day at work today. I didn’t have any time to spend paying attention to the outside world.  I knew that our fascist prick overlord dictator asshole was pushing for a vote on the billionaires tax break bill that everyone is calling trumpcare.  I wanted the vote to fail.  I know in the end it’s not going to make any difference.  The fascist prick will put through whatever he wants and his collaborators in Congress will bend over and give the pussy grabber whatever he wants.

Imagine my surprise when I put on the radio after work and found out that things looked so bad for the vote that the fascist collaborators actually cancelled the vote.  Take that you fascist losers.

Any time the American people can show trump what a serious loser he is, it makes me happy.  How’s that popular vote, you loser.  How’s that travel ban, you loser.  If we’re going to be stuck with this son of a bitch for another three years and 10 months then I foresee many, many losses for the loser.
