Bluntness

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

Are you Kenough?

The rain stayed away yesterday.  We had sunshine and low humidity, the temps never broke above 90 (F) and in case anyone is wondering, these temps are saving me a bunch of $$$ on my electric bill.  Today is supposed to be more of the same - that's fine by me.  Tomorrow, on the the other hand is iffy, there's a 40% chance of rain.  Hopefully it will hold off until I get my lawn mowed.

I did almost 2 miles on the treadmill yesterday, that's the first time I've done anything physical since I did that little twitchy thing to my back with the kettlebell.  By Monday I should be back on my regular regime.  It's all part of my goal to live to be 100.  I told a friend that and he said if I live that long I'll be decrepit, so now I have 2 goals.  He's younger than me, so not only am I going to live to be that old, but I'm going to prove him wrong by still being fit.  Oh, and I'm still going to be doing the kettlebell exercises, however I've learned to do with with a little less oomph.

So, Barbie's grossed over $1.2 billion at the box office and I suppose that overly patriarchal conservatives are on the verge of going in conniptions. Remember, their 1950s based egos are rather fragile.  Anyway, I got a bit laugh this morning when I read in the Washington Post that Ryan Gosling's song "I'm Just Ken" is a surprise hit.   In spite of all the A List musicians who contributed songs to the film, I wouldn't be surprised if this is the one that gets the Oscar nod.  I can easily picture it being performed, live on Oscar night.


And what about those dipshit MAGA cultists publishing the names and addresses of the members of the Atlanta Grand Jury which indicted Trump.  In case you're wondering, this is what hatred looks like.  These nimrods are provoking thoughtless violence.  They simply do not understand that if anything happens to a single one of those jurors they will alienate themselves even more from the rest of America.  But then the cult has never really understood anything, and it is virtually impossible for them to learn.

A recent AP/IPSOS poll shows that Independent voters are moving away from Trump.  Actually, that movement is fairly rapid, increasing by 3%, from 54% to 57% in a little over three months.  This trend is fatal for the GOP since they are the minority party and rely heavily on Independent voters to win elections. 

The big question is will that 36% -37% of voters who believe Trump did nothing wrong show up to vote for him if he gets the nomination?  I don't know, they might... or they might jump ship like the rats they are.

  1. Well, the song is a bop.
    And when they all perform it together?? Dream.
    As for the 'leak' with the names of the Atlanta Grand Jury? What were you expecting? It's the MAGAt's nature to be deplorable.
    That 37% of stupid really needs to be washed away.

    XOXO

    1. I would not be surprised if the leak came from Trump's own team.

  2. Find the leakers and arrest them; try them; lock them up; make them share a cell with Thing 45.

  3. I can see a lot of those voters just plain not voting. I do have a few Republican friends who absolutely will not vote for Trump or DeSantis if they get it, but they also won't vote for Biden either.

    1. That's what think. Centrist and left leaning Republicans will sit on their hands.

  4. I still can't believe he has that much support but then again I can believe it when they publish the names of the jurors. I agree with Bob. Lock up the leakers. They don't suffer any consequences so they are going to keep doing it.

    1. Yeah, he has about 36% of the country, however the instant something happens bad, that percentage is going to drop.

  5. Barbie has just come out over here so I'm hoping to go see it this week. I LOVE Ryan Gosling anyway and we all sure could use some fun, right! And go you on turning 100 and not being decrepit. It's totally doable. See you there!

    1. Barbie is a lot of fun! We should maybe start a select group of people planning to hit 100.
