I live in a reddish/purple area of IN. There's a lot of FAFO going on around here....

Much of my area is proudly Independent (although right leaning) and I have never heard as much disdain for repukes in the last 15 years I've lived here as I've heard in the last few weeks. Between the redistricting attempt by Braun (people around here do not like "big gubment" telling them what to do) to the healthcare/SNAP/Farmer situation it's quite encouraging but memories and attention spans are short so we shall see.

It may not look like it but repukes are sweating. They have caught the car with but they've also sunk their canines

deep into the tires and FatAss is driving with his foot on the gas perpetually beating them against the pavement ever harder. IF we can make it another year and have midterms I think the wheels will fall off. Problem is, they know it.

Folks in the Western Caribbean and SE (including FL) Models are continuing to show a possible huirricane forming

A stalling front that is a sagging southward through the Western Caribbean could be the trigger. This is out around 10 days so it should be taken with a big grain of salt but the Models have been very persistent on this feature. Most have it forming south of Western Cuba and moving NNE very close to Jamaica then they begin to vary from up the East coast of Fl SE US and Eastern Seaboard to up through the Bahamas and out to sea.

We are also looking at a boiling hot Gulf of MEXICO and if anything forms or gets in there over the next 30-45 days (yes 45 day minimum to go!) it could explode with little warning. We've already had 2 Cat 5 hurricanes this year which is WAY above the 100 year normal but becoming the new normal. When they don't hit land people become complacent. Don't be one of those!

Hurricane season is far from over folks so keep those ears perked

Fuck the 25th amendment. A military coup may be needed to rid us of these domestic threats and protect the Constitution

Especially while there still are a majority of the military leadership that still believe in their oath to the Constitution and before they all get replaced by military toadies. Sometimes you need professional specialists to rid you of the pests eating away at the foundation of your home.

Today was an outward domestic threat from the top of the civilian power structure abusing it's powers and threatening the very existence of the Constitution itself. A scary fucking thought but I do not think we can survive 3 years after seeing that shit show and from the looks on the faces of the military brass in attendance they may not think so either. There are very real questions of who is in charge after today and him having the wind to his ass into dementia isn't an excuse.

Plus, the shit they are pulling is absolute political suicide so why are they doing it? Because they aren't real concerned about the midterms, or even if their will be any.

Maybe I'm nuts but between these crazy fucks and the nonstop hardon and muscle building commercials , everyday I wake up I feel like I'm living in a Marvel comic book without a superhero in sight
(remember the back pages of some of those comics with ads for Spanish Fly and power muscle building wristbands?)
IMHO

I'm telling you, Kegsbreath ordered this meeting when he was shitfaced and had to go through with it when he sobered up

I have no other explanation for this. And FatFuck had to show up when he heard about it because he thought it was generals from countries around the world, not ours. And when he announced that he couldn't go back on it when someone told him they were our generals. It was that insane

ICE ad's during Saturdays Xfinity Neckcar race on the CW network. This is why they're rolling out slow

and these are the people they're hiring. I like racing, any kind of it. I watch everything from Go-Karts to Airplanes. I'm not a muscle shirt mullet head beer swilling murican flag bandana wearing Neckar moron with a Dale Earnhardt is God bumper sticker (although I'm surrounded by them). But I am a race fan. Again all of it.
I watched Saturdays Xfinity Neckcar race at Kansas Motor Speedway on the CW. This last stepping stone to full blown Neckcar racing series has really gone to shit since they moved to the CW btw. But almost every commercial break was an ad with an 800 number to call to come work for ICE. NO EXPERIENCE NECASARY. 50k dollar bonus. Student debt forgiveness. The main line...
OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN INVADED, CALL TO SIGN UP NOW AND GET TO WORK CLEANING UP THE STRETTS OF THE WORST OF THE WORST.

Just my opinion but they don't have the dumb shit backyard UFC wannabe's to do this so called job and it's why when he announces moving into a city it takes awhile. Miller's probably putting pressure on them to HIRE THE WORST OF THE WORST, basically the type of idiots I mentioned above.
Probably ran 25 times.

I finally got my SSDI to go through in April but have been fighting something I feel is insane since

I struggled for nearly 3 years, food pantry's, friends, utility assistance, SNAP and I was awarded it finally in April. I didn't even have a bank account, just a prepaid card. Imagine my delight when I got a nice back pay check . In order to cash it of course I needed to open a new bank account. I also didn't want to have all that cash in my house for good reason. I qualified for extra help when they put me on Medicare thank goodness so my drugs are costing me a couple of dollars a month (I was on state Medicaid prior and they were free, still no biggie). My SSDI monthly income checks keep me below the asset requirement my state has so that they were paying my Part B premium.

Insane part? They notified me last week they were no longer going to pay my part B premium as I had exceeded the states asset/resource limit. I asked how? It was the money in the bank. I cannot believe they can count back pay as a resource, its basically a lump sum payment of my back weekly disability check, which if paid on a weekly basis would've kept me well below the resource limit. Personally I find this insane and a rip off. I don't need nursing home care but I cant work. If I put it in a Miller Trust, they will pay my premium but I will lose access to that money. How is this fair by any stretch? I am not gaming or cheating the system. I was actually told by someone at the FSSA office I should've held onto the check for 3 months then cashed it. Is that what disabled people are supposed to do? just not cash their back pay checks or if they can don't use a bank in your name? Here's your money, fuck you you cant use it without us getting it all back. I get that that happens if you have private insurance covering your disability while your waiting but I didn't. I had bare bones HIP they call it in Indiana.

Now, to top it all off while I'm fighting this, I've just turned 63 a week ago and FSSA is saying I'm not on disability, I'm on regular Social Security. When I log into my SS account it specifically states I'm getting disability (SSDI not SSI of course)) payments. And to top it off again, my state, IN, is very restrictive on who can get a Medigap plan should I need one. I have until 10/1 to straighten all of this out. I'm scared to death (literally) if I can't get a Medigap plan I will go beyond the 6 month window and when I can get one when I'm 65 they will be able to go back on me for my health issues and jack me all to hell. WTF man?

This shouldn't be this hard. And if I didn't log into all my accounts weekly to check on things because I'm new to this I wouldn't ave known anything was happening because when I get the notices in the mail they are 2 weeks behind the documents online.

Like I said, this is all insane.
