Freaked Out Friday will be delayed due to illness

Kath here-
Sorry folks no freaked out Friday today and possible not this week.

Not that there is nothing to freak out about

Net Neutrality is going bye-bye on Dec 14th barring a Hanukkah miracle.

The tax bill is a total balls up and Yurtle the Turtle sorry Mich McConnel has said that it must be voted on and THEN he will let people see what they voted on which I believe is illegal.

Not to mention what happened today with Micheal Flynn.

Then there was the code breakers who saved so many American lives with their work who found themselves dealing with having to look at Andrew Jackson’s face while Trump rambled on and managed to distract us from something else going on.

But due to illness, we cannot post our usual musings.

Feel free to chime in with what’s freaking you out.

  1. As a Brit I am bloody annoyed (our phrase for freaking out) about your idiot president retweeting ‘Britain First’ videos. This group is just like Isis but diametrically opposed to them. Taking videos and editing them and putting their own spin on them. Let me make it clear these people are terrorists. One of their supporters murdered Jo Cox MP during the run up to the EU referendum. Thankfully Theresa May found her back bone and made it quite clear that what Trump had done was completely unacceptable. Not quite Hugh Grant in Love Actually but about as close as we are likely to get. Makes you proud to be British.

  3. “…what’s freaking you out.”

    The biggest thing? When people I know are completely unaware of anything that’s happening. I have a lot of stuff going on, most people I know do, but they at least are paying some attention. Still, there are some, “Oh, that’s just Washington, I never pay attention, I don’t care….”

  4. “The tax bill is a total balls up and Yurtle the Turtle sorry Mich McConnel has said that it must be voted on and THEN he will let people see what they voted on which I believe is illegal.”

    Actually, I don’t think it is illegal but, with the GOP “leadership,” it’s par for the course. If the Democrats pulled such a maneuver, the GOP would be blasting it (as they did MANY times when that Black guy was in the White House). I even seem to recall a GOP PROMISE in 2010 that, if they got a majority in the House and/or Senate, they would NEVER put up a bill for a vote without vetting by both the Congress and the public.

    1. For practical purposes it might not matter all that much, given that politicians (at least up here) have admitted there really isn’t the time to read all the items they vote on anyway. They just follow Party line and go with the flow. Democracy in action. Ain’t it grand?

  5. While there’s plenty that’s freaking me out, I’ll just wish PAD and his family good health and better times.

    1. Two wrongs dont make a right… but at the same time, you dont get to claim it’s unfair when your opponents use your own tactics against you. This is straight out of Obama’s playbook.

      1. “This is straight out of Obama’s playbook.”
        .
        Because we all know this bit of BS is in reference to the Affordable Care Act:
        .
        -Introduced in the House as the “Service Members Home Ownership Tax Act of 2009” (H.R. 3590) by Charles Rangel (D–NY) on September 17, 2009
        .
        -Committee consideration by Ways and Means
        Passed the House on November 7, 2009 (220-215)
        .
        -Passed the Senate as the “Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act” on December 24, 2009 (60–39) with amendment
        .
        -House agreed to Senate amendment on March 21, 2010 (219–212)
        .
        -Signed into law by President Barack Obama on March 23, 2010
        .
        Don’t you people ever get tired of lying all the time?

      2. Not to mention, MordWa, that the one quote Republicans and conservatives love throwing around (“We have to pass the bill so that you can find out what is in it”) is yanked so far out of context as to basically be a lie.
        .
        Bills were not rammed through so that no one could see them or see what was in them under Obama. As a matter of fact, the bill conservatives like to lie about the most when this tactic under Obama is falsely brought up, the healthcare bill, had much of the bills-in-progress (such as H.R. 3200) as it was being rewritten and debated on online from the middle of 2009 through to becoming law. As a matter of fact, I was keeping up with a number of the bills I was interested under Obama’s time in office online either as they were being worked on or in the week before they would go to him to be signed.
        .
        The short version of all that? You’re full of it.

      3. Not only did congress have plenty of time to read the text of the ACA, it was online where anybody could read it. I remember the email to all the staff at my library explaining how the current text had been added to the government documents linked to our catalog, and letting us know that using the exact title was the easiest way to pull it up.

  7. I’m sorry for Peter and anyone else in the David household who are so sick that even a keyboard is too much. That is indeed worrisome. Many wishes here for quick recovery and no lasting ill effects.

      1. Hospitals? Ouch, that’s worse that simple sick. Glad to hear you and yours are feeling better (at least I hope you’re all feeling better)

  8. I’m rather freaked out that Trump’s tweet-rants against CNN are having a dangerous effect on Libya. CNN’s reports on their revival of the slave trade are being discredited by the government, which is citing Trump’s claims as evidence that they’re lying.

  9. I hope everyone is feeling better. Had the flu myself recently, on account of my not getting the flu shot, on account of my being an idiot.

    (But “hospitals” sounds like something worse. Here’s hoping this finds everyone on the mend.)

    1. If it makes you feel any better, I often get the flu even if I’ve had the shot. So far it seems to be working, knock on wood.
