So hey ya'll happy weekend!

Whats new this week?

Bought a house this week!
This is me knowing what I had to look forward to just before closing

Mostly moving stuff out of my rental house, moving into the new house.  Lotsa room for unpacking.
Here's a pic of Jamelah and I with a house full of nothing

Did manage to get some furniture bought for the living room today, curtains are next. It's an exciting and terrifying time. Hoping to get a moving truck next weekend, get the rest of the Potterville house empty by then.

I really look forward to having a stable place where I have Jamelah and the kids all in one place.

Upon watching the usual Sunday morning news shows

Political crap ahead, you were warned...

Here are the conclusions I have from what I have seen from the politics this week, and then I will need to be done with it for the week. I spend way too much time watching this crap.

Jim Jordan, that guy is a fucking weasel and a typical Republican. He is everything their party is proud of, and they should be done with them if they care for anyone other than themselves.

Adam Schiff, also a weasel, is clearly on a path to impeach the Cheeto at any cost, even if it means the dems look petty in the process.

I am curious to know what Mueller came up with. From the morning shows and people who have been in the department of Justice it makes sense that what will come out are facts, and a lack of accusations. That's pretty professional. But it is also not some sort of bombshell that will make all dems sleep better tonight. There will be dirt, there must be. How could their not be? It will back the facts that have already been known. 6 people in the Cheetos election campaign worked with Russians, an enemy of the United States. They were his people. They reflect on him regardless of how much he wants to distance himself from this. He makes it clear he keeps his tiny hands involved in all major aspects of his affairs. He was clearly aware. Like all good gangsters, he managed to keep enough distance between himself and all the corrupt crap to avoid any indictments. A lot of people will be thrilled that no indictments of obstruction or collusion. It has not changed the truth on the Cheetos stand on racism, the environment, and furthering his own company agenda at the cost of the presidency. He is a terrible person, he has treated a majority of America terrible, the people he has sworn to protect, like absolute shit. People need to rally to get him out and every other Cheeto supporting Republican. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Walberg and Barrett. 😡

That amazing tax break Cheeto gave us the middle class that the gullables are believing.

Thanks to MSU failing to do anything to help me beat the cost of living increase this year (I can blame my union too, not just MSU) it was fairly easy to assess how much the AMAZING TAX BREAKS helped the middle class, like me. I quite simply took my change in pay from this year and compared it to last year. The only thing that changed was my tax withheld. I then compared the tax returns from the same year. The only thing that changed there was the implementation of the Cheetos tax plan

This is the result:

$29 dollars. Being that I needed to live off that money that came home every month because I am in fact broke 3 weeks into every month. It means that vacations, car repairs, all of it are not going to happen this year. The Republican devout will ramble on that I should have withheld more, and they are missing the point. He didn't do shit for the working class. He paid off his rich friends who will be doing nothing for you. You should be upset. You should vote him out.

Bullshit politics aside now...

The kids get their alterations done today for the wedding and they are really excited for it. It is now the terrifying phase of knowing it's coming so soon and there are so many little things that still need to be done. I barely got involved in the last wedding, this time I have tried much harder to be involved and I really enjoyed it. Jamelah and I are an amazing team, she's da best and I love her so much 😊

Because I really hate Facebook.

Because of that, I am back.

Here because after months, maybe years of dispising Facebook for being a bunch of dickbags over our information, I find that I am mostly sick of the misinformation that you get. That's not all Facebook's fault. It's all our fault. We only post the glowing happy shit out there, never showing all the real facets of our everyday lives. It sucks, it's so disingenuous. I am mostly sick of the news. All the shitty news, All the inaccurate news. All of the gullible people who don't do their responsibility as fucking adults to question everything, and not just be led by news sources that are really out to scare you, and those same people need to be scared to be led. It really saddens me, and it has challenged many friendships along the way. I'll get into some of this later.

Hello everyone!

Marriage

So, what's new out there for me? I'm getting married! Yeah, I am marrying Jamelah Earle, the truly better half of me that makes me a better person as a whole. My partner in all my crimes, my hiking buddy, and my voice of reason in what sometimes can be shitty days, sometimes good ones. Regardless, she is there, and it makes me very happy. The kids are really happy about the idea of having a mom and dad back in the house together, and they love Jamelah a lot. I am a really shitty cook, I think besides needing a reasonable, strong female figure in their lives, they are really hoping she will teach me to not cook like shit. I am kinda hoping for that too 😏

House

That brings the next update, Jamelah and I are getting a house together! We close on a house in Albion Monday. In my usual chaotic and "in one big holy shit pile" method we are doing all these thing together at once. The house is a terrifying thing for Jamelah, and understandably so, This is the first time on her own in literally decades, and not just picking me up as her new live-in, but 3 very noisy, but loving girls every other week will be a enormous hurdle for her to overcome. She is very used to a very quiet household. We will all have a lot to learn through this, I really hope we all find the balance to cohabitate as fast as possible.

Our wannabe Presidential Cheeto that I refuse to call by name in this blog...

So, the report we all anticipated for years made it to the Department of Justice yesterday

https://www.cnn.com/2019/03/23/politics/donald-trump-robert-mueller-report-russia/index.html

I can't believe that piece of shit didn't get indicted. I trust that Mueller did his job the best he could. The report was never going to be the smoking gun. His actions on a daily basis shown his true dickbag self. People need to take a hard look not just at the shit he says on a daily basis, but really look at what he doesn't say. He give zero shits for a majority of America and has no interest in caring for them as time goes on. He needs us all out of the way, and any cost so he and his family and friends get richer. It's frustrating. It's sad. It's not how a leader should lead. He and every Republican that enabled or ignored this NEED TO BE VOTED OUT. For your families, for your environment, and for people's well being vote against these people in 2020. I say it that way because the next election is going to require a lot of people who support a lot of good platforms to come together to vote against a 40% voter base who are very well aligned and love what they hear out of their leader, no matter what stupidity it is that falls out of his mouth. Independents, Libertarians, Green Party, Democrats are going to need to rally to get him out. I pray it happens. I pray for a majority of America to care and put whomever it is that comes out as the strongest leader to drop their convictions, and work toward a greater good, greater than that racist motherfucker in office.

But back to Facebook...

Anyway, yeah, hating Facebook and the sides of people I dislike. I am trying to get out. I know i'll relapse, but you have to start somewhere. Its shown a side of some of my family and friends I never wanted to see. Maybe I needed to see it? Maybe it showed us a side we all needed to see? Maybe it helped us to keep an eye on the people we never suspected could act and feel that way. I hate seeing the fake news I get from friends on it. It sometimes makes my day worse. And I can't stop watching it sometimes. I should stop but there I am staring at it, day after day. Hour after hour. Makes me hate myself sometimes. I feel my place to land socially down the road is Instagram for photo sharing and a blog to share my thoughts. Maybe Facebook just to connect the group I am connected to to a place I transition to. But seriously, fuck Facebook.

Those are the thoughts for now, going to try to keep this going on this page.
