Well…you know the media is almost too far gone to save when they call the most important hearings in our lifetimes “boring” and try to dismiss them just for that opinion. What the hell are they supposed to be? Full of dancing bears and fireworks? These are damn serious times and if the hearings are “boring” to you, then you are either a trumpbot or just plain stupid…after all what was revealed yesterday by just the first two witnesses was that trump personally ordered his cronies to extort and bribe Ukraine into fabricating dirt on the Bidens and to try to say that the Russian hacking of the 2016 elections was actually done by the Ukrainians…and, guess what? Bribery is specifically mentioned as one of the actions that should get a president impeached and removed…and it doesn’t fall under the “high crimes and misdemeanors” catch all….so there is no interpretation necessary…it’s right there in black and white that trump should be removed because he tried to bribe Ukraine with military assistance that was appropriated by congress and should have not have been subject to any conditions but those in the legislation that appropriated it…look, every damn thing that trump has done since he was installed by Putin was for his own personal gain or that of Putin and Russia and it was made clear yesterday how foreign policy has been subverted for that purpose by trump….and he should be removed…now….

Just can’t watch…
Well….started watching the impeachment hearings but when the idiot repubs got their chance to question, it was so much bullshit and conspiracy theories that have been thoroughly debunked that the only explanation is that they are doing it for an audience of one…the idiot in the WH…or for the mouth breathers on fox news…not trying to get to the truth or protect the constitution but just to protect the criminal in chief who is even lying about watching today…he says that he is not watching but then tweets with comments in real time…I guess the idiot just can’t do anything but lie…so, I am going to wait for the print analysis that will come out later today and read it instead….I am really impressed with the patience of the witnesses dealing with the repubs today…having to sit there and listen to the screeds from the questioners that really don’t have a point to them…they just want the talking point to be read into the record so they can claim that it’s the truth if it’s in the House records…what a bunch of crap….
Corruption?
Well…hey, the repubs have a new talking point on trump’s extortion of the Ukraine for personal political gain…just this morning they floated the new one that trump was talking about “general corruption” and the Bidens were part of that…there was no targeting of the Bidens at all…but, trump and his idiot cronies only wanted the Ukraine to root out corruption to make their country better. Now, as I stop laughing so hard I almost choked, I wonder why Ukraine is the only country that aid was predicated on a “corruption” investigation…and I wonder why trump and his cronies wrote the statement that the president of Ukraine was supposed to say to the public when they have never required that from say Turkey, or Saudi Arabia when they pour money into those countries that are rife with corruption and murder of their own citizens. So, it’s all just more bullshit from the bullshit administration trying to keep the idiot trump in office…and it isn’t going to work….
Back to politics…
Well…this is going to be a big week in politics with the formal impeachment hearings of the idiot in chief starting Wednesday, and I’m not sure what I should think about that…while I do feel that if any president has ever warranted impeachment, trump is the one who deserves it…but, it is going to be pretty damn painful for the country when we find out just how corrupt trump and his cronies are and the collusion from the entire damn repub party that is keeping him shielded from the laws that every damn other American (who is not rich) has to follow. One of the things to look for as the process starts is going to be the flip flop that repubs are going to do with the Mueller report since it appears that Mueller was not as thorough as we assumed as the process was going on….and new information is coming out about just how deep the trump campaign was in the pocket of the Russians and it clarifies why trump and his cronies were trying so damn hard to get Ukraine to say they were the ones who hacked the 2016 election…and while the repubs have spent the past 7 months attacking the report…they are now going to pivot to saying that, if the information that the House investigation uncovers is not in the Mueller report, it can’t be true since Mueller was such and upstanding guy who did a wonderful job…at least that’s my prediction since the repubs are such hypocrites that coming down on both sides of an argument is what they do every day…it’s going to be an interesting week and I am going to block out some time for the hearings…it will be a flashback to Watergate for me…
He’s good at ignoring crimes…
Well…have been doing some fiddling around here today and almost forgot to come back here for this one…as you know, Jim Jordan has been one of the idiot trump’s biggest protectors in the House and many people are wondering how he can ignore all of the crimes the trump has committed and the answer is that he is very good at it and has lots of practice from his time as a wrestling coach at Ohio State. Just yesterday, another person has come forward to say that he told Jordan about sexual abuse that was going on by the school doctor there and Jordan just ignored that crime, too and went about his merry way, allowing the doctor to continue abusing athletes there for months after at least two people told him what was going on…and let’s be blunt, it was Jordan’s job to protect his athletes not the abusing doctor just as it is his responsibility to protect the constitution and not the lawbreaker trump. At the very least, Jordan should resign today, and if there is any justice in the world, his role in the conspiracy of silence at Ohio State should be prosecuted and this criminal should be in jail…but like all the rest of the repubs, he thinks the law doesn’t apply to trump or himself and will do his best to make sure it doesn’t with trump….
Blue wave, part two…
Well…you know, maybe trump is not the great politician that the repubs are holding him up to be…okay, we all know he’s just an idiot and any political success is due to Russia and Mitch McConnell…the rest of the country just hates trump with a passion that started to be shown in 2018 with the dems re-talking the House in a “blue wave” that saw us gain 40 seats…and last night, the blue wave part two flipped the Kentucky governor’s office over to a dem and even in Virginia, where the repubs have controlled the state for decades, the dems flipped both the house and senate to run the entire state with the dem governor. In Kentucky, idiot boy trump even held a rally for the repub, whining that if they didn’t elect Bevin, “you can’t let that happen to me”, of course since everything is about the idiot all the time. When you dive deep into the numbers from last night, the repubs really should be shaking in their boots with almost all of the suburbs going for dems everywhere and the enthusiasm to rid the country of trump and the repubs is at tsunami levels…now all we need to do is turn that into votes next year and maybe sanity can return to this country and the repubs will be gone for generations…at least until I’m dead anyway…
This should end it but it won’t…
Well…with ambassador Gordon Sondland going back to congress to “clarify” last weeks testimony and confirming in no uncertain terms that yes, he did tell the Ukraine that they wouldn’t get any military aid unless they issued a statement saying Russia had nothing to do with helping trump in the 2016 election and that they were opening investigations into the Bidens. On top of that, trump and his minions dictated the statement that they wanted Ukraine to say….I think that Sondland saw the transcripts that were released this week of the other people testifying and saw that, crap, he was in big trouble and then used the typical liars dodge that the other testimony jogged his memory and NOW he really remembers…all the while hoping that this “clarification” will keep him out of jail. Now, with this testimony that, yes indeedy, trump and his cronies did try to extort Ukraine to lie and help trump in 2020, this should be enough to end trump but it won’t be with the repubs carrying around their own moveable goalposts…and now saying that a crime isn’t a crime. One thin is certain, that even if they do keep trump from being removed and he serves out his term, he will be prosecuted after he is out of office and, with the evidence that is now public against him, a first year law student could get a conviction and send him away for the rest of his life…can’t wait for that perp walk…and for everyone else from Barr on down who will go to jail too…
Getting close…
Well…yep, running late again today getting the political one out…I wanted to get the work started on the new gate while it was not the freezing temps we are going to see for the next 3 weeks…it was not a good day for the criminal trump when a federal appeals court ruled that Mazars has to give up trump’s tax returns to a grand jury that is investigating trump’s crimes in NY…and, of course, his lawyers have said they will appeal to the SC but with losses in two courts, there is a chance that the SC may just let the appeals court ruling stand and not take the case…but, with beer boy Kavanaugh on the court now, he needs to pay trump back for getting him there and will break any precedent to do it so it appears that they are going to say that trump is above the law as his lawyers have been contending for months now. I think the first thing we need to do when we take back the government in 2020 is to codify in law all of the norms of our society that trump and the repubs have been shredding for three years now…a law an order commission that would pass a law that says that all presidential candidates must release their tax returns…and finally get rid of the DOJ guidance that says a sitting president can’t be indicted…saying that the law apply to everyone at all times and when a crime is committed, indictments come as a matter of course….at least then we wouldn’t be in the situation we are in now with a criminal running the country…
Isn’t this bribery?
Well…the stench of desperation is wafting off the orange idiot today with reporting that he is meeting with repub senators and offering to fund their campaigns with lots of cash if they don’t convict him after his impeachment. Now, I’m not a lawyer but with the repubs dodging reporter’s questions about trump’s guilt by saying they are jurors in the impeachment trial and can’t comment…this appears to be more blatant bribery on trump’s part…and I read one commentator, who is a lawyer, say that this is as blatant attempt of felony bribery he has sever seen….and it sure looks like that to me, too. Gee…doesn’t that make every damn repub that takes the money a felon, too? It looks like the idiot trump is continuing to practice his quid pro quos so he gets better at it I guess…since he was so lousy at it with the Ukraine. Look, this just shows you that the repub party is the criminal party that has no business being part of the political life of the US…they do have business with the prison industry and that’s where quite a few of them are going to end up…
As expected, they are all criminals…
Well…with the whole house vote on going forward with impeachment of the criminal trump, we found out something else about all of the damn repubs…they are all criminals just like the idiot trump…what else can you call someone who aids and abets trump’s crimes by ignoring the mountain of evidence that has already been revealed that trump and his cronies extorted Ukraine to get them to attack Joe Biden with a bogus “investigation”. Today, every damn repub voted against going forward with the impeachment and we saw them bleating all day about how it’s “illegal” for Nancy Pelosi to go forward…and now they are diving right into the trump swamp by filing ethics complaints against Nancy and Adam Schiff for doing their jobs to uphold the constitution…another bit of obstruction of congress that these criminals should pay for in the next election….and they are going to…when almost 60% of the country wants trump impeached and removed…much more than who voted for the idiot boy by the way…this is going to be a stone around the necks of all of these conspirators and are going to cost them the senate and the presidency. We just need to hammer them every day and make sure that the public knows that their support of trump is no different that of a getaway driver in a bank robbery…he is still guilty of the robbery as much as those who went inside…they need to pay for this betrayal of our country…
