more trump madness and lies as the four horsemen get prepared

What a time to be alive!  If only this could have been foreseen in some magical way, after all, who expected such behaviour?  Even more madness from the lying money grabbing grifting would be dictator who is in Putin's pocket (and more than likely on his payroll as well). Rather sadly (but predictably) this destabilises democracy, just as Trump wants, and if the consequence of him doing away with future elections and overruling (or ignoring) judges in America has the knock on affect of further war in Europe, China taking Taiwan etc, he won't care, and will probably try to take more land and power himself.  These are dark times, especially with the online disinformation of Musk and the rise of the far right. If things continue this way, the outcome is very bleak indeed. Where the fuck are the 'normal' members of the GOP who should all be out denouncing this and thinking of the future of America rather than themselves? I won't hold my breath for much intervention from them, and as for all the voters who didn't vote Democratic, when they knew what Trump was like, they can all fuck off as well. All politicians are the same my arse. Also, expect more air crashes and harmful outbreaks of diseases, which Trump will lie about and blame on Biden. No wonder l drink, and yes, once again, l blame God.

a man with a cold - oil on canvas

 This was me earlier last week.  I've had a stinking cold for three weeks on and off, and have been trying to ignore it and get on with my life, but actually had to take a couple of days off work midweek as l felt so crap.  I even threw up on Wednesday evening, something l never do.  Thankfully (and l hope l am not counting my chickens too soon) it has now just about gone.  I (of course) blame God.

queen - now l'm here

This is the sort of Queen music l used to like.  When they were a rock band.  Albeit a very pretentious and unusual rock band, but a rock band all the same. For me, it was downhill after 'A Night at the Opera' although 'A Day at the Races' still had it's moments. Still, the surviving members are sitting around in the palatial splendour, while l'm at home typing this rubbish, so let's face it - they've won in life.

If Donald Trump is a feminist hero, l'm a fucking banana.  This is one of the many reasons why The Times newspaper can't be taken seriously any more.  What a load of crap, and how Janice Turner can defend Trump after his history of abuse, is beyond parody.

Guns N Yorkshire Roses at richmond comrades club

After a week of feeling crap with a bad cold / man flu / covid, I had some red wine at home on Friday night and then went to see Guns n Yorkshire Roses last night.  A splendid time was had by all, I got dropped off at my local pub afterwards, and ended up in there until after 01:00, when l braved the ghostly walk home yet again. Now pretty much recovered, although my lips are still cracked.  I guess when you are very very old it takes longer to recuperate, but l maintain that anyone else who had what l had would now be dead. Luckily l'm indestructible!

amazon's top notch delivery service

I've been dossing around at home expecting (yet another) album to arrive today, and of course the Amazon delivery person didn't bother knocking on my door.  My instructions if l'm not in are to leave any parcels in my shed and when l checked the website to see where the hell the parcel had got to, it was classed as delivered, and left 'in or near a shed'. However, after searching, I saw it on the floor by my garden gate, as though it had just been thrown over, which would have been fantastic for it if l had actually been out, and it started pissing down. There's also a good chance l may have been stood on it in the dark if myself or anyone else came through the gate. Their delivery photo has it balanced on the top of my gate, so l guess they took the photo and then just shoved it over.  Bastards!!!!  Luckily it was still in good nick.

elon musk versus the usaid

As the USA slides further into a fascist dictatorship, you have to remember - this is not normal, and the courts and law enforcement agencies, as well as any members of the GOP who actually have some backbone, should be preventing this, but of course things are only going to get worse, but we'll all have to suffer. No wonder l drink.
