Well… as I hear more and more from evangelicals saying that the idiot trump was “sent from god” as an answer to their prayers, another reason for god sending them trump has popped into my head…as god looked down and saw the rot and hatred that infests the evangelical religion these days, what if he said to himself “I think I’ll give them one more chance to actually follow the teachings of my son” and then sent them trump as a test…as a last chance to choose the path of morality and love over the hate, racism, and misogyny that they have embraced by their support of trump. Now, you know that I’m a big old atheist so even discussing god or religion is not a topic that I normally take on since you really can’t argue with someone in the throes of faith…but, I do know enough about religion to know that I was never taught to hate in the religion I grew up in…never taught to belittle the needy but that it was everyone’s calling to protect those less fortunate….so, the next time Pence or any one of the purported “christians” open their mouths about trump being sent by god, I want a reporter to ask if it might just be possible that trump was sent by god as a test…as test to see if the rot and hate was true and as a last chance to repudiate the immorality of trump and his minions…I would love to hear that answer as they sputter and run away…geez…

A recession is coming…
Well…as we all know, the idiot trump inherited a booming economy from Obama and has done nothing but try to screw it up ever since…tax cuts for the rich, tariffs, and trade wars even with our friends have put the economy in a precarious position with all of the signs pointing to a recession later in the year or next year…so what is trump going to run on then? Hate and racism? Yep, probably…when you hear Ken Cuccinelli, trump’s immigration chief say that the immortal words on the plaque at the Statue of Liberty were meant for Europeans only…not those icky black and brown people. The problem with a recession coming with trump and his cronies in charge is that we have lower that fourth rate minds in charge of dealing with it who have all drunk the tax cut kool aid and have no thoughts other than cuts are the only thing that is ever necessary in any situation. Now, who would have thought that having an idiot who bankrupted every business he ever had and has a fourth grade understanding of economics would be a bad thing to have in charge when the economy crashes? I do feel for the people who are going to lose their jobs because of the morons running things…but, most of them voted for trump so I have absolutely no sympathy for them…voting for someone who you watched portray a successful businessman on tv is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard..but that is your trump voter…geez…
This is just damn wrong…
Well…not sure if you read about this but when I did, it spurred a huge outpouing of outrage in me…just last week…and the week before that, and the week before that, and almost every damn week, we see a story about an elderly couple who died by murder suicide because they could no longer afford to keep themselves alive due to the cost of their healthcare…and most of these people have long term health problems that are hard enough to deal with…but, on top of that, they fall into despair as the bills and copays pile up with no end in sight and no way out of the trap for them. As an older person who is now on Medicare, I can understand that…for just routine things like a colonoscopy and some dermatology problems, it cost me almost 3K out of pocket last year as the fees and copays nickle and dimed me and I’m healthy…I can understand how someone with real health problems could be overwhelmed when the bills never stop coming in for treatments that are keeping them alive…so, many of my cohort are taking the only way out for them by ending their lives and there is something just damn wrong with that in one of the richest countries in the world where people like them and me contributed to society our entire lives…and still are. We need to fix Medicare so that, once you pay your monthly payments, any and all treatment is paid in full with no out of pocket, copays or other bullshit…and, before you say “how do we pay for that?” just look at the two trillion dollars that the repubs gave away to the rich and corporations…just a tenth of that would fully fund Medicare so no senior ever goes broke or kills themselves from despair ever again…
No politics today…okay, I guess that’s wrong…
Well…have been reading some today but haven’t been able to come up with anything to write about in the world of politics…okay…no…I did want to comment on the cynical, inhuman bullshit that the idiot trump displayed during his trip to “console” the victims of the shooting in El Paso…after none of the injured would talk to him since he is responsible for the shooting…or for spurring the shooter on with his white supremacist bullshit, he had the gall to tell his enablers to get the baby whose parents were killed protecting him brought back to the hospital for a photo op…now, I don’t know what kind of person would do something like that, other than an asshole like trump who thinks that everything is about him…and then, after the visit, idiot boy went off on his staff since people weren’t praising him enough for just showing up as the doctors were revealing a “shocking” lack of empathy they saw from trump as he was grinning and giving a thumbs up sign when posing with the baby. What a worthless piece of shit and I can’t wait for the day he is gone…so folks, get the hell out and vote to make sure we can see the asshole in chief perp walked after he leaves office….geez…
It’s official…impeachment has started…
Well…as of yesterday, it’s official…the impeachment inquiry has started and not a damn day too soon. I’m not sure why no one else has noticed it…even after Jerry Nadler went on both CNN and Rachel’s show yesterday and said bluntly that what the Judiciary committee is doing right now IS an impeachment investigation and that he predicts articles of impeachment will be filed before the end of the year….and he is not hanging his hat on only that investigation but has sued Don McGahn in federal court to compel his testimony to his committee and has also sued to get an unredacted copy of the Mueller report along with the underlying grand jury testimony and evidence. So, it appears that things are gathering speed to get a full accounting of trump’s criminality…and that is in addition to every bank that the idiot boy did business with turning over all of the records pertaining to how and who trump did business with in Russia…it appears that bringing in Bill Barr to protect the moron in chief is rapidly becoming a moot point as the House is getting information that trump has been trying to hide since the Russians installed him…and there is more and more to come…I’m waiting for the meltdown from idiot boy that will happen this weekend with him being on “vacation” and having all the time and adderal he can use…the meltdown is going to be epic…I would end this as I have for a couple of years with impeach….but I don’t have to anymore…it’s happening…about damn time…
Under the radar…
Well…taking the day off the house today and that is really needed…so that gave me the chance to read some news today and found a couple of stories that appear to be flying under the radar of the big news organizations…with the repubs in charge of the confirmation process for Brett Kavanaugh in the senate, they were able to hide almost all of the records of his time in the WH and of his confirmation hearings where it is clear that he lied his ass off both for the SC and for lower courts but the dems couldn’t do anything about it…but now, as the House gets involved, the Judiciary chair, Jerry Nadler has requested the rest of the records from the National Archive….while the repubs in the senate had been able to hide almost 95% of the records as they jammed Kavanaugh through, they can’t do a damn thing about this request and it may just lead to an impeachment inquiry for little beer loving Brett. The other story that is not getting the attention it deserves is the fact that many banks have started to turn over their records concerning trump and his ability to still get loans from Deutsche Bank even after no American bank would deal with him, and his relationships with many, many Russians who were involved in money laundering…and these records are going to both the NY AG and various House committees who are investigating the trump crime family. I’m not sure how long we are going to have to wait to see what is in these records but I have the feeling that, with trump being a criminal his entire life, there will be more bombshells of just how big of a criminal he is…impeach…
trump screws the pooch again…
Well…just read that the idiot trump has stopped listening to any of his economic advisors when it comes to trade with China and is going to go with his “gut” in announcing new tariffs that will be imposed on sept. 1st…and guess what the stock market did with that bit of idiocy? Down almost 800 points yesterday and China told idiot boy that they are not going to be bullied by the moron in chief and cut off all agriculture purchases from the US since trump broke his promise to not impose any more sanctions if the Chinese would ramp up it’s purchases…as they were doing but I guess someone on fox news told trump that in talking to the Chinese he looked weak so of course he had to try the same type of bullshit that worked with contractors when his casinos were going broke…bluster and bullshit. trump is so far out of his league in dealing with China that I think they are just screwing with him until he is voted out next year and the adults take charge again….I just hope he hasn’t tanked the entire world economy by then…impeach…
An Adderall addled POS….
Well…sniffy mc sniff face was at it again today when he gave a press conference on the murders in El Paso and Dayton and I don’t know how anyone could believe that he was not high with all the sniffing and the tongue movements that look just like someone who is near the end of a coke binge…and he just finished his 215th golf outing where he crashed a wedding and the pictures of his eyes from that one looked just like someone who has been high for a few days…and then the comments he made today are just more of the same repub bullshit where he blamed everyone and everything but the damn guns that are at the center of all of these murders….I mean, every other country in the world has mental illness, video games, drag queens, and every other scapegoat that the repubs have trotted out…but they don’t have mass murders and the reason is they don’t have guns every damn where…and they don’t have racists in chief who egg on white supremacists to violence against black and brown people every day…and they don’t have a *president who disbands the FBI department whose job it was to identify these terrorists and stop them from murdering…but those terrorists are trump’s base so he can’t have them being exposed…when is there going to be enough to remove this Adderall addled asshole from our lives forever? Today would not be too soon…impeach…
Liz Cheney sticks a shiv in irony….
Well….there was a little bit of welcome news the past week when the tribal nations of the western plains won a lawsuit against trump’s Fish and Wildlife Service that prevented them from breaking the law and removing the grizzly bear from federal protections under the ESA. The only reason Cheney and her cronies wanted to remove the bear from the list was to pave the way for high dollar trophy hunts so some guides could make a profit from the sacred bear of many of the plains tribes…but this lawsuit stopped another huge deal….the lifting of leasing restrictions on almost 34,000 square miles that is made up tribal treaty land that would make it easy for outside interests to come in and mine, log, and graze livestock on this land basically for free while the Native Americans got nothing. In a breathtaking speech that was as ignorant as it was insensitive, Cheney actually killed irony with a shiv when she said ” this suit was motivated by the plaintiffs intent on destroying our western way of life”….which to Cheney, her dad, and the rest of the repubs/conservatives mean that they should be able to come in, gut the area, clear cut the timber, and leave the taxpayers on the hook for any environmental cleanup after the companies declare bankruptcy to dodge any responsibility for their actions. Now for a fake westerner to come in and say that is to deny the history of the country where whites came in and took the Native Americans “way of life” by murdering them and taking their lands for nothing…sounds like destroying a way of life to me….how about you? Poor babies…the courts stopped them from plundering more of the country and their entitled little minds just can’t take it…I feel so bad for them….ha,ha…
Are you suprised?
Well…we all know that trump is an idiot and his trade policies are those that would be done by a 7 year old that was home schooled by goats…and has caused untold pain through the farm country by destroying markets that farmers had spent decades building…and today, with the farm welfare that is being doled out by trump that you and I are paying for, and that is supposed to help all farmers who have been affected, we see that most of the bailouts are going to the big corporate farms who have given millions to elect the asshole in chief. The report shows that the top 10% of farms in size got over 50% of the bailout money while the family farms who have been most damaged by idiot boy’s tantrum got less than 5,000 dollars each…while some of the big farms got almost 3 million dollars and are lobbying for more of our tax dollars to be paid directly to them…like the Venezuelan crony of trump’s who got millions just for buying up farms in this country and not even farming. Sounds a bit like welfare to me. As trump the idiot rails against American cities who need federal help for infrastructure and renewal and pledges not one dime to them to help, he doled out 16 billion dollars to his corporate farming buddies to continue to buy their votes and keep them donating to his election campaign. I can’t believe that this was not the purpose of the tariffs in the first place…to have just another method of looting the treasury for trump and his cronies while family farms are closing by the thousands and not one damn thing is done for them. I do have a hard time having sympathy for them, though, since they saddled this country with trump and still support him even though their farms are gone….not too bright in my book…impeach…
