94 Days until the election on November 3rd

174 Days until the Inauguration on January 20, 2021

On to Mars

I feel like Alistair Cooke, sitting in a giant wing chair looking at the camera, “We are now at day one thousand two hundred and eighty nine since that cocksplat, Donald Trump took office and began with the help of the Republican Party and conspiracy theorists to ruin the country call The United States of America.”

Ah yes. Well let’s give The Donald the benefit of the doubt shall we? Let’s suppose that the intel never reached his desk that the Russians were paying to have American soldiers killed in Afghanistan. Let us further suppose that Donald is a very good reader, which he claims to be. The only paper that he subscribes to is The New York Times. They broke the story of the Russians paying to have our soldiers killed. Seems odd that he missed that article, or its reporting or the numerous reports that were put into his daily briefing if he was such good reader, or if he was watching TV. Seems odd. 

But here’s one of those little things that is also odd. The top soldier in Afghanistan reported that Afghan soldiers fighting with them brought them weapons that they said they seized from the Taliban and that they were given to the Taliban by the Russians. In fact, they can trace a particular weapon back to the person and order placed within the GRU to obtain this weapon. That was two years ago. Yet, the president says it never reached his desk.

In fact, he called the whole Russian thing fake news and a hoax. I have a fantasy, that Chuck Schumer asks for that weapon to be sent to him and he brings it to the White House and squeezes off a clip in the Oval Office and tells the president not to worry because it’s fake.

Speaking of fakes – Louie Gohmert, that lovable nut, refused to wear a mask, made all his staff not wear masks while attending meetings, which he insisted on holding in his office, has tested positive for the corona virus. He was trying to get on Air Force One when they tested him. If only they hadn’t tested him then we wouldn’t have had another case to count. 

Apparently, Congress has no mechanism to deal with this sort of thing. (Ie general precautionary measures to insure the safety of the people in the building, etc.) I wonder what is going to happen if someone in Gohmert’s staff tests positive and dies? Do the relatives get to sue over unsafe working conditions? 

It’s not only Gohmert, but many Republicans who are refusing to wear masks. Seems the Republicans should change their name to The No Common Sense Party. Maybe No Sense Party? Maybe Nonsense Party. 

Then there’s Ivanka Trump. For some reason I got to …

INTERUPTION – NASA lift off of PERSERVERANCE to Mars. 

ATLAS 5 rocket liftoff with 2 million pounds of thrust left the launch pad in 5 seconds. Launch was early. OMG! Yeah, 10ms early! Thank God we still have something we can do right. Every 26 months or so we can get to Mars within the least amount of energy. We’ll be to Mars in seven months.

Stay tuned.

Where was I? Oh yeah, Ivanka. She told people out of work to “find something else to do.” Good idea, Ivanka!  Look at you. After letting your dad paw you while you were 13 you transitioned into the family business of lying about their real estate deals. She then started a fashion business, selling clothes, shoes, and jewelry. She then helped dad get elected. Published a book, which was mainly plagiarized. Then got out to the fashion business because no one was buying her shit. She and her milk toast looking husband then moved into helping daddy run the country into the ground, all the while she and her husband were busy taking money from foreign rulers and businesses. So she certainly knows transition!

But that’s not the other little fact I wanted to mention. It’s solar! Solar in Afghanistan! Yeah baby. Turns out that the heroin farmers have been drilling wells, installing pumps powered by solar panels, which has allowed them to produce lots more acreage to grow opium poppies. They’ve manage to pretty much double the land they can grow opium poppies! Cool, huh? They can also grow tomatoes as a second crop. Maybe, even get a third crop!

So look for the price of heroin to drop as the market gets flooded.
