Republican Terrorists

We have snowfall!!  Our temp is 9 (F) and it's been snowing since around 1 AM.  They have updated our forecast and are now calling for between 8 and 12 inches.  Right now, a heavy snow band is passing over head so the white stuff is really coming down.  We have around 4 inches outside, so if this storm does continue into tomorrow, we will probably have more than 12 inches.

The neighbor with the pickup truck has parked it somewhere else.  The neighbors across the street who own 3 vehicles, have moved them up onto their yards.  It's only my neighbors, who have a lot of space on their lawn, and a driveway to boot who have left their cars front to be plowed in.  You really can't fix stupid.

And I did take a personal day today.  I knew this was pretty much a done deal yesterday.  Many associates were planning on calling off.  This will not be an historic snowfall, but it will be decent, so many are taking advantage of having a day off.  

What am I going to do today?  Well, I've got a load laundry in the washer and two more ready to go.  This afternoon, I think I might bake bread.  Oh, and probably work on the book.

The Guardian has an article this morning about the groundswell of anger rising in America.  I think groundswell might be an understatement.  The murder of Renee Good was horrific.  Yesterday's murder of Alex Pretti has compounded the rising tide of anger in the United States.  Instead of trying to alleviate this anger by throwing one of their own to the wolves, this administration is brazenly lying.  But then this is how Orangie has always lived his life.  Never doubt, simply lie.  The growing backlash is going to be horrific, and even his billionaire buddies are going to be effected.  As an example, here's the lead headline of the Washington Post, owned by Orangie loyalist Jeff Bezos.

While I didn't check all of the Main Stream Media outlets, those I checked have the same lead story, that the videos contradict the lies this administration is pushing.  Because Orangie has surrounded himself with idiot loyalists who have never been the brightest colors in the box, they will continue this tact.  The videos prove that Alex Pretti was not domestic terrorist,  that he was holding a camera, not a gun, and that he didn't charge with the intent of creating maximum damage.  Millions upon millions are watching that video over and over again.  It's on the front page of the Washington Post, slowed down so you can see every graphic second of this murder.  This is going to end badly for Orangie, for the Republican Party, and for the conservatives who so desperately want to dictate how Americans live.  It is they who are the domestic terrorists.  Soon, they will start to cut their losses and run because they have never had a spine.  They have always been stinking cowards.  

The Odd Neighbor

Here in Central PA we have a very chilly 7 (F)  outside.  This afternoon, we may hit a high of 18 (F)  Woo Hoo!  These temps are the reason why we are getting snow, while a number of states to our south will be getting Ice.  There!  I said it!  The Department of Justice wants weather forecasters to say "freezing rain" because ICE is getting such a terrible rap.  Awww.  As for how much snow we're going to be getting?  We are still in the MAJOR category with total accumulations between 10 and 18 inches.  I don't know about you, but when I see a spread that great I tend to think they're pulling these numbers out of their ass.

And, as you can seen, Blogger has fixed the Replies.  What was really screwy about that whole thing was that if I signed into Riding On through my phone, I could reply to comments, but not when I signed in with either my laptop or PC.  

There are four apartments in the blue house across the street, one of which is rented by a throuple.  One of the young men parks his pick-up truck in front of my house, so yesterday I told him that if we do get as much snow as they're predicting they will plow his truck in.  Plowed snow is difficult to shovel; with these cold temps it will turn to ice quickly.  I also tried to tell the wife of the loud neighbors next to me, and her response was... oddly rude.  As I started explaining about the snowplows, she cut me off, saying "You need to talk to Mike (her husband) about that.  You can't talk to me."  And with that she quickly went inside.  So, was she telling me I simply couldn't talk to her, or that I couldn't talk to her about the snowplows.  They park their 2 cars in front of their house.  If we get 18 inches of snow, they will be buried by the plows.  So it goes.

I work this afternoon.  The store will no doubt be busy with people buying snow shovels, salt, and snow blowers... oh, that's right, they want us to call them snow throwers because blowers might be construed as having sexual connotations.  This is what I use to take advantage of all of the free cardio.

There was a big walk out/shut down in Minneapolis yesterday.  Surprisingly, main stream media covered it... except for Fox Entertainment, and possibly what used to be CBS.  I suppose this is because while they believe that kowtowing to the administration will give them better access to the insanity, it's the reality of the terrible things going on which will get them the clicks.  You see, it will always boil down to revenue.  There is a growing contingent of Independent News Media out there and it's growing fast.  The only way for MSM to get those clicks is to compete and puff and fluff stories about Orangie just ain't makin' it.  For example, no one is buying tickets to the new Melanoma biography.  Perhaps if they had included some of bit about her sex work, tickets might have sold better.  Let's be honest, no one wants to sit through 2 hours watching an old Russian sex worker talking about everything except the one thing she was good at.  My understanding is that it cost Bezos $40 million to make, and it's going to cost him another $35 million in advertising.  Experts are saying that this piece of fluff propaganda might gross, let me repeat that, might gross $5 million worldwide.  Bezos should have known that everything Orangie, and Melanoma as well, touches dies.  Good for Jeff.
