Well…gee, I wonder what happened over the past couple of weeks to get ole Mitch McConnell finally start thinking about the fate of the senate and warning the dems that they shouldn’t get rid of the filibuster to keep the senate in the “middle of the road” and not make it like the house. Yeah, first his “middle of the road” is to appoint unqualified hard right judges and allow the most criminal president in the history of the country go free without an impeachment trial in the senate by blocking any witnesses against trump…by stealing a supreme court seat with tactics that were never seen in the senate before, and supporting all of the right wing wish list that he has jammed through the senate without any input from the dems at all….so no, Mitch, no one should listen to a thing you say about the senate with the damage you have done to it and our country…oh, back to why now? ole Mitch sees the writing on the wall that the senate is going to be in dem hands come 2021 or why would he admonish them about doing something they can only do if they regain control? And by extrapolation that means that he expects trump to lose and lose badly in November and then the dems will control the entire government and if they get rid of the legislative filibuster that means the ole Mitch will have no power to effect anything in the senate anymore and he will be completely sidelined as the dems enact their agenda which includes statehood for DC and two more dem senators to add which would essentially keep the senate out of repub hands for a generation or more. The writing is on the wall and even the myopic mitch can see it…I am going to celebrate on the 4th of November…

What a clusterf****….
Well….we all saw the idiot trump’s poll numbers fall into the basement when people realized what an incompetent moron he was with not handling the coronavirus crisis at all and government agency after agency that he runs just give up even trying, but over the past two days, his approval rating has descended past the sub and into the sub-sub basement as it was revealed that he was briefed about Putin and Russia putting out and paying bounties on the murder of American soldiers in Afghanistan. Of course all they did was lie about getting that information and sitting on his fat ass and doing nothing with the press sec lying to the country that neither trump nor Pence had heard anything about it and tried to blame it on our intelligence agencies not doing their jobs or that the evidence was under “dispute” and not clear…even though commandos in the field had found stashes of money that was used for the bounties and had interrogated Taliban fighters who said “yep, that’s what the money is for”….and trump and his idiots continued to lie and say trump had never been briefed…but, in a just glorious turn, John Bolton came out with a statement yesterday saying that he told both Pence and trump last year that the bounty program was going on and that something should be done about it….we all know that trump’s reaction to anything Russia is that it is all a hoax and he trotted that same lie out yesterday…I don’t think it’s working too well this time though, as scads of former officials are all piling on trump saying his is delusional in damn near everything and yes, his malfesence is just as bad as it looks. So, keep it up donnie…the country has gotten so tired of your bullshit that every time you open your mouth you go further behind and the November election is looking more and more like a historical landslide for Biden and dems up and down the ballot…
Don’t think John Roberts has suddenly turned liberal…
Well…with today’s ruling handed down from the SC saying that a Mississippi law that requires that doctors providing abortion services must have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of their clinic is unconstitutional, the breathless pundit class is falling all over themselves to try to brand Roberts as a closet liberal who will continue to protect a woman’s right to choose…don’t believe a damn word of it…while Roberts sided with the more progressive justices in this case, his reasoning was that they had already decided this issue in an almost exact case from Texas a couple of years ago and he went out of his way to telegraph how a case needed to be brought that would pass muster and put an end to Roe v. Wade. With Kavanaugh’s vote and dissent in this case, it is clear that he lied to Susan Collins when he said that he would follow precedent in every case and it was important to the integrity of the court to do so…he was just waiting for the opportunity to set women back 50 years and his dissent and that of Clarence Thomas showed that they are chagrined to say the least that Roberts didn’t help them kill Roe. So, let’s not praise Roberts too much for following the constitution, that is his job after all and he should do it in every damn case as they all should…but, I guess we’ll have to take our wins where we can get them for now…
The do nothing president kisses Putin’s ass again…
Well…can you see the denials flying over your head yet? Cripes, they are everywhere as the NYT reports that Putin’s intelligence agencies are paying Taliban fighters to kill Americans in Afghanistan and that the idiot trump knew about it back in March and has done nothing about it…not one damn thing other than try to get Russia back into the G-7 and essentially kiss Putin’s ass….whatever Putin has on trump, it must scare the living shit out of him for him to betray our country like this…and to abandon our military for personal political gain…okay, no, trump would betray his own mother if it would get him re-elected and he knows that if he pushes back on these Russian paid murders of our troops, Putin will stop helping him….and even the idiot knows that he wouldn’t be in office if Putin hadn’t attacked our elections in 2016 and installed him…I really think that Putin can see the writing on the wall that trump is going to get crushed in November so he doesn’t need to care what trump thinks and he knows that trump is so far out of his depth that Putin has nothing to worry about…just like the rest of the troublemakers in the world who laugh at everything trump says since he has shown that he really is a fool…let’s look at the denials that trump and pence have been spouting that they were never briefed on these contracft killings…if the intelligence agencies found out that this was going on, they damn sure would have included it in the PDB for weeks…and with the DNI coming out and lying that they weren’t briefed, he confirmed that the NYT story is true and the intelligence agencies knew this was happening…any person with any logic at all would then conclude that trump knew about it, too…and did nothing about it but go golfing…how about that MAGA assholes…your messiah let Russia pay bounties on American soldiers murder…I’ll be you’re still okay with that…what a pathetic lot…
We all knew it was bullshit…
Well….remember back a few weeks when governor Whitmer extended the stay at home order here in Michigan and the militia crazies showed up at our capital with guns, confederate flags, and trump signs howling at the moon that their constitutional rights were being “violated” as they threatened lawmakers? Now we know that was all bullshit and was just for show…and guess why? The repub governor of Texas did the same thing to attack the coronavirus outbreak there and I can hear the crickets from here in Michigan…not one damn peep for any of the so called “unconstitutional resrtictions on liberty” that they howled about when there is a dem governor in charge….so it had nothing to do with “liberty” or anything but the right wing hatred of anyone who is not a racist repub….Where are the protests of Abbott or Ducey, or DeSantis who did the same thing as governor Whitmer? What a bunch of hypocritical fools…but we knew that, they show it every day….
This is what happens when you believe trump and not science…
Well….stupid, stupid repub governors…you morons believed a serial liar and your own political nonsense and look where that got you…the damn virus is not political and it can be ignored or wished away, it can’t be stopped with politics or conspiracy theories, and no matter that trump has given up trying to save American lives because he got bored…the virus doesn’t care…if you give it a chance by jamming people onto the beaches, bars, and rallies…it is going to win…if you have morons who won’t wear masks in public, it is going to win…if you have people running government who are too stupid to understand how this virus spreads and kills, it is going to win…and that is the case now in 27 states who “opened” up before meeting any of the milestones that the experts told them they would have to meet because trump said it was all a dem plot…and they don’t have the smarts or guts to buck him…or they fear losing the moronic trump base who are just a death cult at this point but who are necessary for any repub to get elected today and they have made the choice that the base is the only thing that is important…as of today, we have the highest new cases in the US since the pandemic started and the trump bleats that “but deaths are going down” as he again doesn’t understand or care that deaths lag reported cases by a couple of weeks or so…so now we have a situation where we could end up with half a million Americans dead due to trump’s and his cronies political malfeasance….and it is all on the heads of repubs who did nothing until it was too late…and who won’t use what we have learned from the dem states that went through this early just to “own” the libs…this is murder, plain and simple…when the head of the federal government just stops doing his job and lets Americans die, is is murder…trump should be impeached and removed for this but it won’t happen because the repubs in the senate don’t much care for Americans either, and getting unqualified, right wing judges is more important than American lives to them….they need to pay in November when there will be half a million less Americans who can vote….criminal…
We are officially a “shithole country” now…
Well…with trump’s blunders and stupidity over the past 4 years, the US’s standing and respect in the world is at an all time low with former allies going their own ways and enemies taking advantage of the incompetence of trump and his cronies. But, the latest coming out of the EU and the UK officially stamps us as a “shithole country”…both Europe and the UK are going to ban travel from the US since trump and his federal government have given up on fighting the coronavirus and have decided to delude themselves that the pandemic is “over” and everything is just fine…no matter that the red states that followed trump’s lead while kissing his ass have seen an explosion of cases and that explosion is just going to get worse as trump shuts down all federal testing in 9 states that are crumbling under the virus caseload. It is so bad in the south that New York is implementing a mandatory 2 week quarantine for anyone traveling from one of those failed states to keep the hard work they did to control the virus for being for nothing…and I’m pretty sure that is going to happen here in Michigan where we had under 300 new cases yesterday and only 19 deaths as compared to almost 8,000 cases in Texas and, since the liars in Florida won’t report accurate numbers, an estimated 12,000 cases in one day in Florida….all this from a virus that repubs said was just alarmist bull from dems to hurt their states. How many times do the people in red states have to bear the stupidity of the leaders they elect? Probably forever since they have shown that they can’t learn and don’t care that people are dying from this incompetence….so now, trump, welcome to the shithole country you created….
Come on Nadler, drag out a subpoena..
Well…as Bill Barr runs rampant over the rule of law in this country, the one person that can put a check on him has given up…the chair of the house judiciary committee, Jerry Nadler, said over the weekend “there’s no point in impeaching Barr, the corrupt senate will just let him go”…Jerry, Jerry, no, no, and damn no! Just because the senate repubs are corrupt, is doesn’t mean you should stop doing your job…and your job is to hold these criminals accountable…and what really sucks here is that Nadler hasn’t even used all of the tools available to him to force accountability….he could use “inherent contempt” to force Barr to show up and testify and if he doesn’t, Nadler can have the capitol police arrest him and have him brought to the house…but why not start with a subpoena? At the very least a subpoena…and then Nadler needs to make these criminals understand that the election is not a “get out of jail free card”…when trump loses…things are just getting started in bringing trump and Barr to pay for their crimes…but, these assholes don’t seem too worried even though Biden has said catergoricly that there will be no pardons for any of these criminals….if they were as smart as they think they are, they would stop criming all damn day and start trying to figure out how to minimize their jail sentences….tick, tock Barr…the noose is closing….
Call it what it is…the traitor’s flag…
Well…the fight over a stinking flag took a turn yesterday in the hotbed of traitors, Alabama, when nascar made good on banning the “traitor’s” flag from their venues…okay, and let’s call that flag what it is…it is not “the confederate battle flag”…calling it that imbues it with some sort of veneer of acceptability….remember, it is the traitor’s flag, flown by traitors who tried to tear this country apart just so they could continue to own slaves…and don’t give me the bullshit that the war was about “states rights”…in the constitution of the confederate states, it states bluntly that protection of the institution of slavery is the reason they were trying to destroy the US…and every fact based historian agrees that is the reason…and it wasn’t “brave or noble” to tear apart this country and kill almost a million Americans for slavery, so let’s cut that bullshit out too. Just yesterday, the racists in Alabama put on a show at Talladega speedway where they had a rally outside the gates with hundreds of traitors flags and they even flew a huge one over the track just to make their point that they are a bunch of racist asses…and that point was driven home by the discovery of a noose hanging in the garage of the only black driver in nascar, Darrell Wallace, whose suggestion that maybe, with the nation getting on board with the “black lives matter” movement, it would be a good idea to get rid of the racist symbol of traitors and make the sport a little more welcoming to everybody. It was heartening to see the response to this racist thuggery as swift and sure condemnation of this hate crime…and unlimited support of Darrell as he tries to do his part to make this country a better place…as I do…it’s about damn time that we have this conversation…but it is the 50th time in my life that this “conversation” has happened but just the conversation…it is past time to take on the racist assholes in this country and tell them to go back under the rocks they crawled out from….their time has passed and they deserve to be thrown on the ash heap of history along with their traitor’s flag….keep it up Bubba, we’ve got your back….
Teenagers and a grandma punked the trump campaign…
Well…a million people packed into the 19,000 seat arena in Tulsa last night for an electrifying speech by the greatest president in American history…is what the repubs wanted the headlines to say this morning but reality, that nasty thing that repubs have no relationship with, reared it’s ugly head…or beautiful head, depending on how you look at it, and the stench of failure followed the idiot boy out of his helicopter and onto the WH lawn as he did the walk of failure shame late last night. In an arena that held 19,000, the Tulsa fire department put the crowd at 6,200 people and the photos confirmed those counts showing the entire upper bowl empty and at least half of the floor empty, too…but, how could that be when trump’s campaign had crowed all week that they had a million people ask for tickets? It has started to become clear that a grandma and an army of teenagers on tiktok took it upon themselves to punk trump and his cronies by online ordering hundreds of thousands of tickets for the event and then posting videos of themselves with their 20, 50, or 100 tickets…what I found most funny about this prank is that the trump campaign didn’t even check on whether the tickets requests were real or not, they just knew that idiot boy would love the idea of a million people wanting to get into his hate rally so they went running to him to breathlessly report their huge success…and then the campaign spent money setting up an outdoor stage with video screens for the “overflow” of thousands of trumpists and scheduled trump and Pence to give speeches to the crowd…but there was no crowd and the outdoor stage was dismantled before the indoor speech took place…..and today the 10,000 rpm spin from the trump idiots went something like “we vetted everyone who requested tickets” and the requests were all valid repubs…so, how did a teenage girl in Colorado get 40 tickets? This whole “rally” was such a debacle with trump spending almost 20 minutes defending his ramp walk from West Point and getting a standing ovation for drinking water with one hand…yep, that’s what trump and his cult have come to…what’s next? Cheering when he takes a dump? I sure hope that the fact gets through his thick head that America hates his ass and wants him gone and the polls show it….hey donnie, Biden has a double digit lead over you…why not save us the trouble of throwing your ass out and just resign…no matter what happens, there is prison time in your sad future you pathetic little man….
