I like our candidates…

Well…you know, I get damn tired of writing about the idiot’s stupidity and criminality all the time that I thought I’d do a little positive stuff today on our candidates and what I’ve seen so far, I think we’ve got a pretty good group and the vision and policy that I hear every day from them almost makes the forget what damage that the repubs are doing every day…almost…whenever I hear any of our people talk, I am reminded that there are adults in politics who really want to try to make the US a better place for all of us…and they have real policy proposals to implement these ideas…like better healthcare for all, more taxes on the rich and corporations, voting rights for all, the end of gerrymandering, getting money out of politics, repealing Citizens United…you get the idea…everything the repubs have been working for to rig the system, our candidates want to do away with. This, along with humane treatment of asylum seekers should put a dagger through the “there’s no difference between the parties” nonsense that people have in their heads for some reason like they just aren’t paying attention. So, I am going to try to let myself be a little hopeful instead of outraged all day every day…I know the outrage is warranted with what trump and his cronies are doing to this country, but I need a frickin break….

Is this enough?

Well….as every damn day goes by, I have to continue to ask that question and I am getting tired of it…yesterday, the idiot boy squatting on his golden throne in the WH told ABC news in an interview that he is just fine with getting foreign help to win an election and wouldn’t call the FBI if any offer of that foreign help was offered to him. Let that sink in for just a minute…the supposed *president of the US just broadcast to all the bad actors out there that he is “open for business” and if they want to help him get re-elected by digging up dirt on his opponents or by using social media to rig the election that’s just peachy with him. When George S. of ABC told trump that Chris Wray, the head of the FBI, said that any contacts of that sort should be reported to the FBI, just like every other damn campaign has done since there has been an FBI, the idiot trump bellowed “he’s wrong” and continued to say that he would use any source or help if it would help him get re-elected…just like he did in the 2016 election. This morning, the criminal in chief tried to justify what he said by saying that he meets with other countries all the time and they talk about everything so it’s just fine if one of them offers to interfere in our elections by giving him information….okay dems, and specifically Nancy Pelosi, it is damn past time to start impeachment proceedings against this criminal who has just promised to break the law, again, to rig another election…this is just too much…impeach…

Don’t be delusional, Joe…

Well…okay, just a short one on something that Joe Biden said the other day…that he expects to be able to “work with” repubs if he is elected…and to me that calls into question his judgment…don’t get me wrong, I like Joe and always have…he has served this country well for almost his entire life but Joe, haven’t you been paying attention for the past 40 years? Especially the past 10 where the repubs have shown quite clearly that they would prefer to burn the country down than even talk to any dem about anything. Joe, you are not magic…and these are not the people who you worked with in the House and Senate…this crop of repubs are the most ill informed, hate filled bigots who have ever defiled this country and not a damn thing you say or do is going to change that….and to talk about “working’ with them shows a lack of grasp of the political realty that now infests this country and the only thing that will change that is getting rid of every damn repub…things have changed, Joe…get with the times…

Trump just has to go…

Well…I am just pissed off about comments that idiot boy made at a veterans conference on Monday…the 5 deferment, fake bone spur chicken hawk suggested that veterans who return from combat with PTSD are not as “strong” as those who are able to “handle” it…now this is wrong on so many levels coming from a person who is afraid of everything and has been coddled his entire life…a person who would never consider serving in the military since it wouldn’t benefit him personally and even had a clause in his first divorce agreement that would disown his daughter if she ever joined the military. How can the repubs who supposedly are the strongest supporters of the military (hint: they aren’t) let this kind of disrespect for the service of injured veterans stand? I want the chicken in chief to go to a war zone and have the vehicle he’s riding in blown from under him…or face combat every day for months with no let up….or see his friends or brothers or sisters in arms killed right next to him…it’s a miracle that more of our returning soldiers are not scarred for life and that trump, of all people is calling anyone weak is one of the most sick things I have ever heard. He just has to go…he has shown he has no human feeling for anyone…he can’t console anyone because he doesn’t give a damn about anyone but himself and he doesn’t understand sacrifice…and it sure isn’t “weak” to react to the horrors of war….but the draft dodger in chief wouldn’t understand that…impeach…

They’re not even hiding being criminals anymore…

Well…we all know that trump is a criminal and has been one his entire life, but this is not about his criminality but about one of his best buddie’s criminality. Look, we know that Mitch McConnell doesn’t think that following laws or norms are for him…and this latest bit of outrage fits ole Mitch perfectly…he has been using government money to benefit his re-election campaign through his wife Elaine Chao who is the secretary of transportation. It seems that Chao has been personally taking it upon herself to approve funding for projects in Tennessee that Mitch wants and that he thinks he will be able to leverage into another term in the senate…never mind that this circumvents established ways that these grants are normally approved…and most of the projects don’t meet the criteria for approval but Chao approved them anyway…and she even hired a crony of Mitch’s as a “liaison” to Mitch’s office to make sure she knows which project that would do the most to help Mitch. Come on, repubs…there is no damn way that you can approve of using tax dollars to elect someone…oh, yeah, I guess you can since all of you are ethically challenged and would do it in a minute if you had those connections…how the hell do you live with yourselves? geez….

A bad day for the idiot..

Well…I really think the rest of the world is finally seeing what those of us in the fact-based community saw from the start…that trump truly is an idiot who can’t be trusted to even tell the truth of what day it is…and today was really a bad day for the idiot…first, his lies about the “trade agreement” with Mexico completely fell apart as news organizations reported that everything that Mexico agreed to was already in the works months ago and there was no “signed agreement” that trump shouted about on twitter…and today, the Mexican foreign minister confirmed that reporting and even went farther to say that the “agreement” for Mexico to buy “huge amounts” of farm products that trump lied about is news to him…they never even talked about it during meetings and there is no mechanism for those purchases to happen since there is no extra demand for those products.  The second part of the bad day for idiot boy was that hearings on the Mueller report started today with ex prosecutors and John Dean all saying that trump obstructed justice and would be in handcuffs if he wasn’t president…and trump’s toadies in congress made fools of themselves to the point of laughter as they tried to spew trump’s propaganda and no one was buying it anymore. This was just the start of the hearings, too, so the American people are going to hear about all of the criminality for a couple of months…and after Justin Amash said that after reading the report, he thinks trump should be impeached, the needle has moved to 50% of the people supporting impeachment…up from 40% just a couple of weeks ago. Hey, how about number three? China has been floating trial balloons that they may not even negotiate with trump on trade anymore since you can’t trust a word he says….saying that they may just wait trump out since they don’t think he can be re-elected and they can then deal with a non-delusional administration that is not run by a moron. After that, trump threw a tantrum and said that he would raise the Chinese tariffs if Xi won’t meet with him at the G-20 meetings…cripes, what a baby. There is more and more of this…but, I want to watch the race that was postponed to today…needless to say, it was a bad, bad day for the idiot…and they are just going to get worse…impeach…

The crap is going to hit the fan…

Well…with all of the stonewalling by the trump crime family that includes Bill Barr, the crap is going to hit the fan this morning with contempt of congress citations for Bill Barr and Don McGahn being presented to congress for a vote scheduled for tomorrow for their refusal to comply with legal subpoenas to turn over the unredacted Mueller report in Barr’s case, and to show up for testimony in McGahn’s case. With a change to rules that happened last week, the chairman, Jerry Nadler, can then go straight to the courts to force them to follow the law and may even knock down the rest of of the cases of stonewalling that trump and his cronies were hoping would delay the inevitable compliance with the House’s legal right to those people and that information. Oh…I get it now…that’s what the whole Mexican tariff thing was about…to distract from what is going to be a huge loss to trump this week and he was trying to crowd it out of the news cycle…what a predictable, sorry excuse for a human….impeach…

The Mexican “deal” is a scam…

Well…it is really funny to see idiot boy trump’s ass beaten on tariffs for Mexico….if you haven’t heard, trump declared victory and rescinded his threats to impose 5% to 25% tariffs, lying his ass off that he got “major” new concessions and signed a trade deal…the only problem is that the “deal” he signed has nothing new in it…the deal is for Mexico to continue doing what they were already doing? Look, we all know that trump folds like paper whenever he is put under pressure and there was a lot of it from everyone on this latest bit of stupidity….and the threats from dem senators that they will take away his power to declare emergencies and to impose any tariffs called the chicken in chiefs bluff….it appears the economy has had enough of this economic policy by tantrum and the layoffs have started in the manufacturing sectors across the country as management has had enough of not being able to plan since trump changes the economic outlook every day by his stupidity and that is introducing too much uncertainty for the economy to bear….so welcome to recession in the next 6 months…nice job trump, given the best economy in years and all you have done is screw it up…impeach…

The economy starts to sag…

Well…gee, who could have ever predicted that putting an ignorant moron in charge of the US economy would cause damage that starts to destroy the great one he was left by Obama? Ominous clouds have started to appear on the horizon with the release of the jobs numbers this morning that showed only 75,000 jobs were created and, with a revision of earlier numbers from this year, the past three months have seen no jobs created at all and in fact, layoffs across the country have started with over a 100,000 jobs lost just in the past month or so. I wonder what that cause would be? Could it be the moronic tariffs that idiot boy has imposed on friends and foes alike? That’s sure what it looks like as the taxes by tariff that have been loaded on the shoulders of the American people take effect and the higher costs cool off demand across the country…and that doesn’t even take into effect the Mexican tariffs that are slated to take effect Monday and that will slam the Michigan economy by instantly raising costs for automakers who get much of their parts from Mexico…auto sales are already slowing ominously and an extra 5% in costs that idiot boy wants to raise to 25% will mean huge layoffs that have already started with the slowing demand. So, I wonder what the idiot in chief is going to run on when the economy goes into a recession by the end of the year? He has nothing else and with being underwater in the midwest states already, a cratering economy is not going to make it better….impeach…

This is pretty funny..

Well…I wonder what it must be like to be as clueless as the idiot trump? During his England visit, hundreds of thousands of Londoners turned out to protest him even being invited for a state visit…and almost two million people signed an online petition for the same reason…and what was his response? He is so delusional he told the press that he loved all of the people that turned out to cheer for him and that the press was reporting that his was the “best” state visit ever….but that one started me laughing out loud when the general consensus in the news coverage is a sigh of relief that trump and his family are gone and “good riddance” was in more than one of them. I wonder if he realizes that meeting the Irish PM in an airport lounge is the way that the entire world see him and the respect that he deserves? This is pretty damn funny that the entire world now has trump’s number and the eye rolling at everything he says is getting so bad I think there may be injuries….just too damn funny…impeach…
