Well…hey, Wisconsin dairy farmers that voted for the idiot trump…how’s that working out for you? At least 1,200 of you are now without a farm due to the grifter in chief’s stupid tariffs and a couple of thousand more will be lost in the next year if nothing is done to fix the stupidity oozing out of the WH. But, I’m sure you still support the idiot since Hillary has something, something e-mails…right? That’s really sticking it to the libs when you lose your farm, right? Look, I do feel for ignorant people who, through no fault of their own, voted for the idiot and his policies due to trump’s lies…but, to continue to support him after losing family farms that have been in the family for generations is just pure, unadulterated stupidity that can’t be forgiven…after all, these people saddled us with the ignorant, stupid, reality show loser that shows his venality and criminality every day….and these “real Americans” deserve whatever they get…impeach…

Tin soldiers and Nixon comin’
Well…just a short one of remembrance for one of the terrible days from my youth…49 years ago today, 4 students were killed by the Ohio National Guard on the campus of Kent State University for doing nothing more than exercising their constitutional rights to protest the Vietnam war….this was a changing moment for me at 17 years old with the spectre of going to Vietnam hanging over my head and the blind allegiance to our country beginning to be questioned every day with the revelations of what was happening in our names. This may seem trite but Neil’s song still distills the event to me…”what if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?” The sad thing is this crap is still going on today in our communities of color….and I still feel the despair of that day…if these 4 students could be gunned down, then no one was safe anymore…
Wasn’t going to do politics today…
Well…have had a long day today with getting out twice and doing 30 miles on the bike and I almost gave up on politics for the day…but, a short article I just read made me have to come here to do one…idiot boy is at it again with his “private” talks with Putin…and trump didn’t say one word to put Putin on the spot for his interference in the 2016 election or his continuing efforts to screw with the US in general…nope, idiot boy only wanted to talk about Mueller and his delusional belief that he was “exonerated”…and I bet Putin was just rolling his eyes and laughing internally about how well he did his job as the spy that he is and that trump is such a moron….who the hell talks to our greatest adversary like that? Putin probably patted little donnie on the head and said “good boy” when trump confirmed to him, again, that 2016 was one of Russia’s most successful intelligence coups in it’s history and that he is not going to do anything to stop the ongoing meddling….is this enough to impeach this ass? It sure should be…impeach…
Of course he’s a criminal…
Well…with William Barr’s testimony to the Senate yesterday that was filled with lies, half truths and obstruction…even the normally circumspect Nancy Pelosi stated that he committed a crime with his lies, as did every dem that had to listen to his bullshit about his behavior with the Mueller report…and there is a chorus in the country calling for this liars resignation. That was before he blew off the House today where he was scheduled to undergo questioning by staff lawyers about the obvious lies he told even before he lied to the Senate yesterday….and that Senate testimony would be a road map for the House to get to the truth…but, Barr is so terrified of being exposed as the perjurer that he is that he is using the excuse that the House doesn’t have the authority to use lawyers to question him, it can only be done by the members themselves…I got news for you Billy, the co-equal legislative branch sets their own rules on testimony, and the executive branch has not one damn thing to say about it…you don’t get to blackmail the House by saying you won’t show up unless they conduct the hearing your way….in fact you will be held in contempt of congress and prosecuted if you don’t show…and that is where we are today…Barr blew off the House and now the vote to hold him in contempt is going to happen this afternoon…and guess what, Billy, you can be arrested if you don’t show up and held in custody until you do testify….is this what you envisioned when you decided to join the trump crime family? Oh, that’s right, you were already one of the slimiest operators in DC even before you begged trump to hire you…now, I just hope that Nadler and Pelosi follow through and restore the rule of law…and make this ass pay for his part is destroying this country…impeach…
Dead man walking…
Well…one of the things that happen when I get up too damn early is that I have time to fill before I can get on the weight machine and not wake up the neighbors…and I just needed to comment on the fact that William Barr was shown to be a huge liar last night on every news show…last night, it was revealed that Mueller sent Barr a scathing letter on March 27th saying that he misrepresented the findings that Mueller put in the report and in no way shape or form did he say what Barr said he did in his “summaries” or in his lie filled press conference. Mueller then followed the letter up with a 20 minute phone call to Barr to discuss what was in the letter…and that is a huge problem for Barr since he went in front of congress on April 10th and lied his ass off that he didn’t know what Mueller thought about Barr’s shenanigans with the releasing of the report and his misrepresentations of what Mueller’s conclusions were. This is a clear case of obstruction of justice and perjury by Barr and the calls for his resignation are coming more and more as time goes on…I guess my question is: don’t any of these morons know that they would be found to be lying? That there is tape of them testifying and it can’t be explained away by bullshit and bluster? This makes Barr a dead man walking and impeachment proceedings should be started if he doesn’t resign today…impeach…
Now we’ll see how corrupt the Justice Department has become…
Well…with the blatant, open corruption that is being led by William Barr at the Justice Department on a daily basis, we now are going to have the chance to see just how corrupt it has become…just this morning, Adam Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence committee, said he plans to make a criminal referral to the DOJ about Erik Prince’s testimony to the committee since the evidence shows that Prince lied to the committee about his meeting with the Russians in the Seychelle Islands…saying that the meeting with a Russian banker was just a “chance encounter” but Mueller evidence shows that there was preparation for the meeting with a set agenda that dealt with “improving” US and Russian relations. So, just another idiot in the trump orbit trying to work with the Russians and then lying about it to congress but with the new twist that trump now has his personal “fixer” in Barr who will find many, many bogus reasons to not bring these clear charges of perjury…and by this action, the Justice department loses a little more credibility that the dems will have to step in and fix when trump and his minions are gone…impeach…
Is there no integrity anymore?
Well…I sure hope you’re laughing at that title because you know, when we talk about anyone in trump’s orbit, there never was any integrity about anything…and you just have to look at Rod Rosenstein and William Barr to emphasize that. We all know what a shill for the idiot trump Barr is…but, just this past weekend, in a speech he gave and in some reporting, Rosenstein was revealed to be just as much in the tank for trump…regularly giving him updates on the investigation into him in direct contravention of DOJ rules and, more than that, against any bit of personal integrity that Rosenstein should have shown given the supposed independence of the DOJ. Ole rod was shown to be the worm that he is when he did all of this in fear of losing his job…yep, he helped destroy the DOJ and the US just so he could protect his pension and fawned all over trump just for that purpose, telling him he was on trump’s “team” and could “land the plane” of the Mueller report so it would not hurt trump. I know I’ve used this analogy before, but it is still pertinent to these behaviors by Barr and Rosenstein…now, when John Gotti was under investigation, would it have been proper for the FBI or the DOJ to give him “updates” on how the investigation of him was going? Yeah, we all know the answer to that one…no, no NO! Rosenstein has now cemented his place in American history as the worst deputy AG that has ever been in the DOJ and I really hope that the media will keep pounding this until he ends up an ambulance chaser in Podunk…that’s all he deserves…impeach…
Yow, Kansas!
Well…not sure if you noticed, but the supreme court of Kansas just stunned me and almost everybody else when they ruled that their state constitution protects bodily autonomy..and that means the absolute right of a woman to control her body and terminate her pregnancy. The cool thing about this ruling is that the determined that there are “inalienable rights” that are immune from government intrusion and that self determination and control of ones body is one of those rights…but the ruling didn’t stop there…it determined that all individuals are free to excise personal autonomy and are free to make choices about how to conduct their own lives. One of the parts of this ruling that I find most heartening is that it is not reviewable by the US supreme court and the right wing ideologues who have been installed there by McConnell…so this ruling affirming personal rights can’t be reversed by the legislature, either…so the repub assholes who live for taking away women’s rights to control their own bodies made a huge miscalculation by trying to make them second class citizens in Kansas and the court slapped them down….now, let’s hope that this ruling will be a challenge to the rest of us to do what we can to protect the rights of our sisters, daughters and friends…and of all women by voting the repubs out in 2020…
No collusion, no obstruction? Yeah, right…
Well…I wonder if the idiots trump and Barr think that no one in this country can read….after Barr’s lying press conference that attempted to clear trump of all charges of obstruction of justice and collusion with the Russians, idiot boy has been bleating all over the place that the report has “cleared” him and that he did nothing wrong…and the dutiful propaganda machine of fox news has been amplifying it for the mouth breathing crowd that follows them…one little problem…we can read and the Mueller report does NOT exonerate trump and his cronies…in fact, it lays out clearly that the trump campaign DID collude with the Russians many, many times but, as Mueller pointed out, the lying of everyone in the campaign and the use of encryption and just general stonewalling of Mueller is the reason why he didn’t recommend charging anyone with conspiracy with the Russians…he just didn’t have enough evidence to prevail in court. On the obstruction side, Mueller documented at least 10 times where trump attempted to obstruct justice and the only reason he wasn’t charged is that DOJ rules won’t allow it. Since the report was released a week ago…many, many former prosecutors have made it clear that if they had the evidence just from the report, they could easily get a conviction for obstruction…a fact that no repub will even acknowledge as they call for the country to “move on” from the Muller report findings. the only way to save this country is for the dems to ignore these calls and do their job to remove this unqualified ass…and then we need to make the repubs pay for their toadying support of this criminal….impeach…
Almost forgot…
Well…it’s been a busy day today and I almost forgot to come back here for another one…but, I did want to touch on one little item that I saw in the news yesterday but just didn’t have time to get to…even with all of the idiot in chief’s bluster and bullshit that he will never turn over any records of his finances to the House, he really is going to have to at some point…and I saw an article or a news show, I can’t remember which, that this type of behavior is always his pattern…he comes out and says that there is no way he will cooperate and then caves or the laws catch up and he is forced to cooperate….so, the little item….just yesterday, it was reported that Deutsche Bank has started to provide all of their records on trump and his businesses to the AG of NY who is investigating the funding for many trump projects due to the testimony of Michael Cohen and the records he provided…and this dovetails nicely with the investigations by the House financial services committee and the Intelligence committees who are also looking at money laundering through these projects….so, the bars are closing in on the idiot and his family who continue to bleat that Mueller exonerated trump in his report…once the SDNY and the NY AG get done with him, trump is going to jail….and I hope soon because the NY AG is not constrained by the Justice department’s rules that a sitting president can’t be indicted….impeach…
