They are going to get his tax returns…

Well…after the supreme court ruled that no person here in the US is above the law, they tossed the suit that trump filed back to the lower courts to give trump another try to come up with reasons that his tax returns shouldn’t be given up in a criminal investigation…so idiot boy’s lawyers went back to court with exactly the same reasons that the supreme court rejected on a 7-2 vote….so, just yesterday, that court said quit the bullshit and ruled that these were the same reasons the SC rejected and trump had to produce everything that Cy Vance has subpoenaed…of course, trump’s lawyers appealed that ruling but this is the final time he will be able to do that…the appeals court has to abide by the same SC ruling that the district court had to so the result will not be any different…so, in just a few weeks, Cy Vance will have the tax returns and other financial documents from the criminal trump to go along with all of the records Vance got from Deutsche bank and he then can start to compare the records and see the huge amounts of bank and real estate fraud that trump has been doing his entire life….I wonder if an indictment can be handed down in time for the election? Probably not but this will be waiting for trump when he loses…and remember, these are state charges that trump can’t pardon himself for…he is going to be the first ex-president to go to jail and I can’t wait….

Is everything the right does a scam?

Well…how the hell did it get to be 3 o’clock already? Man this day has flown by and it even has some good news in it. Just read that Steve Bannon was arrested yesterday for stealing money from the rubes that thought they were giving to have a private wall built but the cash went to houses, cars, boats, and to pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars of Steve Bannon’s debt. He’s just the latest in a long line of grifters starting with idiot boy who look at their followers as only a money stream and spend their days thinking of ways to separate them from their cash…how about the NRA? You remember suit was filed a couple of weeks ago to dissolve that scam organization when Wayne LaPierre and his cronies were found to be using donations as their own personal piggy bank to the tune of 60 million dollars? It seems that every damn thing that these people on the right is always just a scam…remember the trump foundation? Or trump university? Or any of the mega church pastors who just have to have that third private jet or god will be sad? I wonder if the rubes on the right will ever get their heads out of their asses and stop supporting these con men? Nah…they aren’t bright enough and fox news will keep them scared and looking at the shiny new object that will keep them opening their wallets…serves them right…

Gee, there was collusion…

Well…with the release of the senate intelligence committee’s report on Russian interference in the 2016 election, what a surprise, there was collusion and coordination between the idiot trump’s campaign and Russian intelligence to help get idiot boy elected. Just as Mueller said, just as everyone has said, trump and his cronies cheated to get him elected and were directly communicating with the people who hacked  the DNC e-mails and Roger Stone was coordinating with wikileaks to use them for their advantage to damage Hillary…and the kicker is that the committee has even made criminal referrals of don jr., bannon, and others to the justice department but hey, guess who has ignored those referrals? Yep, Bill Barr has buried them as deep as he can but the dupe just doesn’t get that when trump loses, the information will still be available and the prosecutions will go forward…and Barr’s role in obstruction of justice will be revealed and I sure hope he is prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. The problem we have here is that the scandal fatigue has infected our news media and there is no interest to re-report something that everyone already knows…so trump gets away with it…again…and the rule of law disappears…and that sucks…

Watched part of the convention last night…

Well…I usually don’t watch much of political conventions since they are a little too rah, rah for me…but I was a little interested how a virtual convention was going to work so it sucked me in a little bit…and what struck me is how damn big the “big tent” that the dems speak about is…basically all the good about America was on display last night..all the people who are still trying hard to make this country a better place and who have been damaged by trump and his cronies…one of the most poignant was a woman from Arizona who lost her father to the virus and who described her father as “healthy, with only one pre-existing condition…he trusted trump when he said that the virus was under control”…after going out when Arizona reopened prematurely, he contracted the virus and died alone with a nurse holding his hand….I listened to a few of the speeches and Bernie did a good job of bringing his followers into the fold and cutting off the “Bernie or no one” crap and made sure everyone knew how important this election is. At the end, Michelle Obama did an 18 minute speech that just showed the contrast of us versus them…thoughtful and hopeful…but of course, then trump had to go off on a rage filled twitter rampage that didn’t make a bit of sense but really showed that she drew blood from the thin skinned moron..oh, then to close they had Stephen Stills and Billy Porter (still don’t know who that is but he can sing) do “For what it’s worth” and that made me smile…now, I think they could get Neil if they asked….that would be cool…

Can I have a little hope?

Well…with this entire country falling down around our heads from the asshole trump, I just want one thing…just a little hope that things will get better…that our side will win the election and I won’t have to hear from idiot boy and any of his minions ever again…that I won’t have to wake up and dread reading the news for the latest attack that comes from these traitors…like today…idiot boy and his toadies are fast tracking oil drilling in the Alaskan National Wildlife Refuge since they can see that trump is heading for a loss and they want to get long term contracts in place that means they will siphon money from the government even if they never drill a well…which they won’t when Biden is elected…but trump is giving them guaranteed contracts as a way to grift taxpayer’s money…and that is just as corrupt as it sounds…the same thing is happening with ICE which right now is signing 10 year contracts with the private prison operators that work with them so they will get paid even if ICE is disbanded after the election. This is the kind of crap that has me depressed every damn day…I just want a little hope…I want to be able to wake up and think “what good is being done today?” I want to be surprised in a good way every morning and be excited to read the news again…but right now I can’t…even though Biden is ahead, I remember that Hillary was too…and then look what happened….I just want a little hope…is that too much to ask?

Indict them all…

Well…with the idiot trump bragging about his destruction of the postal service and his purpose to effect the delivery of absentee ballots and rig the election, I was a little concerned that no one was going to do a damn thing about it…but, the backlash has started and this is going to get real for trump’s toady at the post office. Just today a congressman from New Jersey referred a criminal complaint to the AG of New Jersey requesting they empanel a grand jury to investigate what is happening and hand down indictments since it is a felony in NJ to interfere with the delivery of any ballot by any means…and the means here is the destruction of the postal service. They take this stuff really seriously in many states and I’m sure that this is just going to be the first of many investigations/grand juries…and hey postmaster general…this is a state crime that trump can’t pardon you for and Bill Barr can’t do a damn thing about…so DeJoy…you’d better lawyer up pretty damn fast….this is just the start…I’d say you would be much better off if you would just resign and run and hide…oh, and the NJ AG has said that anyone involved should be indicted if the evidence shows a crime has been committed…and guess who is involved? Yep, you guessed it, the idiot in chief…

He said it out loud…

Well…god, I just frickin hate repubs….just yesterday the idiot trump said out loud that the toady he installed to head the USPS is there explicitly to make sure that ballots sent by mail in this damn pandemic won’t be counted…and he has also said that the money that the service needs to ensure that all mail, including bills and medicines gets through won’t be approved by him…he is going to hold up any stimulus bill until the USPS doesn’t get one damn dime…all the while the toady he installed is selling mail sorting machines, cutting overtime, and has made sure that ballots of SOME folks will never get through…think about that for a minute…he just admitted to mail and election fraud and not one damn peep by any repub anywhere…not one damn senator, not one damn rep on their side has said “hey maybe we should make sure that people don’t die from not getting essential medicine through the mail”….nope, they say nothing as trump wrecks another institution that ordinary Americans depend on…and the irony is that the rural people that voted this asshole into office are going to be the ones most hurt from this crap since they really depend on the mail to do business. Once we win in November, every damn one of these criminals needs to pay for what they’ve helped trump do to this country…jail is too good for them…

Haven’t seen this in a while…

Well….look, we on the left do one thing really good and that is bitch and complain about just about everything in politics…you remember the “berniebros” who were willing to burn down the party if Bernie Sanders didn’t get the nomination and the “100 black men” who  posted a letter saying that they would sit out the election and Biden would lose if he didn’t pick a black woman for VP? And lets not get started about the hard left “progressives” who basically called Joe the same as trump and said they won’t vote because of it…we have always been the party of diversity of opinion and that sometimes erupts into “pie fights” as it’s called over on DK…but, yesterday it seems like the entire party was unified in its praise of Biden picking Kamala Harris as his VP….the good comments came from all across the spectrum that is represented by our party…from the left, the middle, and the right and they all seemed to be ready to go to work to elect the Biden/Harris ticket…okay, it’s only one day but to have no sniping at all is something I haven’t seen in  quite a while and does make me hopeful that everyone has gotten the point that they can’t get what policies they champion until trump is gone…and they at least will get the chance to make their cases with Biden…but we all need to work together to make that happen…cripes, I hope we can just this once….

It’s Kamala Harris….

Well…there has been tons of speculation on which of the supremely qualified candidates Joe Biden would pick for his VP and it was just announced it is Kamala Harris. I can get behind this choice even though Liz Warren was my first choice…Kamala is smart, tough, and accomplished and will absolutely destroy Mike Pence in the debates….and it’s about time that a woman was picked…it will make this country better when she is elected and will show little girls that yes, there is nothing they can’t strive for and achieve…and it will highlight even more that the dems are the party of the future and she will help drag Joe into that future…damn, I’m excited….

Now it’s college football players…

Well…cripes, are the repubs willing to kill everyone to get the idiot trump re-elected? First it was we old folks, then it was workers, then it was teachers and kids, and now it’s college football players. When many of the big conference players started to express reservations about this fall’s season and the haphazard preparations to protect them from death, and with most of the mid conferences already canceling their seasons and moving them to the spring, the usual suspects like idiot boy, and if you can believe it Jim Jordan…you know, the Jim Jordan who looked the other way while hundreds of athletes were sexually abused while he was a coach at Ohio State? And now he shows again that he really never cared a damn about these athletes…the only thing he and trump and the rest of the ghouls who are calling for these kids to be sacrificed to build a facade of normalcy is for trump’s re-election…how will they be able to claim that everything is just hunky dory if college football is canceled?  Look at the mess that is major league baseball where many, many players have tested positive for the virus as they are thrown back into large groups and some teams have had to suspend their part of the season since so may are infected. In major league soccer, some teams were even booted out of the tournament since they had so many infected players….and don’t use Europe as an example of sports coming back…they had a coordinated virus response that fought the virus while trump and his sychophants here are still letting the virus burn through this country and are doing nothing to stop it. so, I support these athletes who fear for their health…one dead player is too large a price to pay just for trump…hell, a dead mouse is too big a price to pay for trump…
