Well…no matter how many times the bleater in chief stands in front of his minions and declares “no collusion, no collusion”, the US people just aren’t buying it…even with Bill Barr trying his damnest to try to spin the results of the Mueller probe, more than 80% of the US don’t believe him and want to see the entire Mueller report, not some “summary” or redacted version, but the entire report including the underlying evidence. Barr has been trying to create a role for the AG out of thin air when every other SC report has been released in it’s entirety…and there is no role in the SC statute for the AG to summarize, edit, or otherwise limit the information that the Intelligence committee can see so it will be interesting on Tuesday when the IC has a deadline for Barr to produce the report or they will start issuing subpoenas compelling Barr to give the entire, unredacted report to congress. Oh, back to the polls…I’ll bet the latest polls are driving the idiot in chief crazy when they say that his approval rating is back under 40%…and here’s the kicker…fully 64% of the US believes that trump committed crimes before he was installed by the Russians…and well over 50% think he’s committed crimes since he was installed. So, no…no “total exoneration” no matter how many times he shouts that to his troglodyte crowds…one other poll that I can’t find but I think it was really bad news for idiot boy here in Michigan…his approval here is only in the mid 30’s and almost 60% say they won’t vote for him if he’s not in jail before 2020…poor baby..impeach…

Q anon folks are just frickin nuts….
Well….have been thinking about doing one on this alt right fringe nonsense but was never triggered until they crawled out from under their rocks and brought this bullshit to GR…I am appalled that so many of my neighbors are so stupid they believe in the addled conspiracy theories pushed under the umbrella of Q anon….and we saw those supporters at the trump minstrel show that was inflicted upon us here in GR this past week. Now, come on, really? Do these people really believe that there is a huge conspiracy centered on the Getty museum in LA where someone, someone, Soros, is holding children in the basement there to be raped and then eaten…and they want the Marines to attack the museum and free the children. Or, how about the original conspiracy theory where Hillary Clinton was running a pedophile ring out of the basement of a pizza parlor in DC that was pushed by Hannity and other denizens of the right wing echo chamber…never mind that the parlor in question doesn’t have a basement and the only connection to Hillary is that the owner voted for her. Or, the granddaddy of them all is that trump and Mueller are working together to issue secret indictments of all of the dems in the country and that soon…really soon, they will be rounded up and executed since dems have to be traitors if they don’t worship trump. Now, in my lifetime I have seen plenty of stupidity, but until lately no one was proud of being an idiot but these folks are…they wear their ignorance as a badge of honor as they they wave their “Q” signs and continue to chant “lock her up”…what a bunch of morons…impeach…
Adam Schiff is my new hero…
Well…you just have to watch the destruction that Adam Schiff leveled on the idiot trump supporters on the House Intelligence Committee yesterday when the 9 repubs pushed the moronic idea that Schiff should resign since he had the gall to say what everyone knows…that trump and his campaign got help from the Russians during the 2016 election no matter what the trump shill Barr said in his “summary” of the Mueller report. I was almost laughing when I watched Devin Nunes sitting there thinking he had engineered a coup against Schiff, and then Schiff just eviscerated him and the rest of the repub traitors who serve on the committee with a very simple recitation of all of the times it is factually known that the trump campaign met with and tried to help the Russians during the campaign…and how the Russians helped elect trump…and he used a simple rhetorical flourish with the words “you might think” at the start of each recitation…which made it even more powerful…you really do need to go out to twitter or youtube and watch it…and watch the faces of Nunes and the rest of the repubs when they realize they have really screwed the pooch and made a huge mistake taking on a former prosecutor who is prepared for their attack…it is just beautiful to watch….
Fumigate the VanAndel….
Well…with the idiot trump in town for some reason, the thought came into my head on the bike that they are going to have to fumigate the VanAndel arena where his “rally” is being held before I’ll be able to set foot in there again….I even got a text from his re-election campaign telling me how I could get tickets…now, anyone who knows me at all knows that the last place on earth I would ever be would be listening to the most stupid, racist asshole on the planet spout off and get his moron followers worked up into a frenzy…you know, living here in West Michigan all of my life, I thought the people here were pretty okay…but I was wrong…we are infested with hateful, racist assholes as evidenced by the DeVos and Van Andel families who, while they have done some good work, are trump’s biggest enablers here in Michigan, and that alone has tarred them with nothing but contempt from people here who have more than two brain cells. So, I won’t be watching any local news today since the local stations are all controlled by repubs and will fawn all over the asshole in chief…and I don’t need to see that…impeach….
Back to politics…
Well…are the repubs just stupid or what? After the 2018 election where they just got trounced and where the dems won the healthcare voters by a whopping 52%, the repubs just can’t help themselves and are attacking the ACA through the courts again and are gleefully court shopping in hopes of taking healthcare away from 100 million Americans. If you look at the polls, the issue of healthcare is the most important one to almost 50% of the country and these people said they will vote against anyone who is trying to take away the ACA and that is the repubs only…no bullshit “bothsiderism” here, it is the nutty right wing assholes who don’t care about anyone but the rich who are doing it…and I wonder why the idiot trump is still playing to only his base by doing this…after all, his base is only about 40% of the country if that much and that is not enough to get re-elected….so, in the era of the end of the Mueller report, there are still things we need to keep our eyes open for…the repubs are going to try to do as much damage as they can before we vote them out in 2020 and it is up to us to minimize that as best we can until we become the clean up crew…again…impeach…
Are you surprised?
Well…with the 4 page summary on the Mueller investigation issued but AG Barr, are you surprised that he summarized the thousands of pages down to “trump did nothing that can be prosecuted”? I’m not, given Barr’s history as being a repub hack who I predicted would whitewash any findings against the idiot boy…after all, you just need to look at his history…Barr was instrumental in getting the Iran Contra felons their pardons from the elder Bush and has made it perfectly clear that he is a partisan hack that will do anything to protect repubs…and even said so in his confirmation hearing. So, why should we believe anything he has to say? Look, the only way we are going to get at the truth is to have house dems subpoena the entire report and the underlying evidence so impartial investigators can confirm what Barr had to say…and then summon Barr and Mueller to testify in front of the Intelligence and Judiciary committees to ensure that Barr is not able to get away with this coverup….I have confidence in the dems in the House to do their jobs and get the report released to the public…and if I were idiot boy, I’d skip the victory laps for now….the SDNY is still working on many more cases and, as I said before, the Mueller report is not the most important thing going on….it’s just one of the many things happening and trump will still go to jail after he is out of office….impeach….
but, but, but…her e-mails…
Well…the hypocrisy is reaching new, even higher levels coming of the repubs today…if that is even possible…and remembering the breathless screaming about Hillary’s private e-mail server that was endlessly investigated for years…it was revealed yesterday that both Jared and Ivanka have been using private e-mails to conduct government business for the past two years with Jared going so far as to use a little app called WhatsApp to contact diplomats in other countries so it will be kept secret and there will be no record of what he says as he tries to make “deals” with other countries. Now, we all know this is against the law but, hey, that doesn’t matter to these criminals and their enablers in the repub party…the supposed party of “law and order” are just fine with breaking the law if a repub does it. It isn’t bad enough that we have an inexperienced crook who is basically running our foreign policy, but now we can’t even know what he is saying to the murderer MBS or how he is trading on his position to make money for himself…that is exactly the purpose of the laws that were enacted for transparency in government and why there are severe penalties for breaking them…but, with trump running the justice department, you can bet there will never be any consequences for this bullshit…let’s just trash the rule of law some more so we’ll have to clean it up in 2021….impeach…
Too many topics…
Well…running late for the second one today since I had some errands to run this morning, made a homemade pizza for lunch, and then got a bike ride in which left me really, really sore…and now I’m having a problem trying to decide what to write about since there are so many topics with the crazy assed things that are going on in the world. First thing…I wonder what the hell is wrong with trump and the repubs when idiot boy goes off on John McCain in a speech and says that he “allowed” McCain’s funeral to happen when he had not one damn thing to do with it…and not one repub has said one word about how sick it is for trump to continue to slander McCain…after all, he is dead and has been for a while now and it just shows how small and petty trump is…but, we all know that….and I think we are all damn tired of hearing about it….so, I won’t talk about it…at least anymore today…MSU is playing in the tournament and I want to watch it….
Devin Nunes is such a snowflake…
Well…I think we were all amused with the antics that Devin Nunes showed when he was twisting himself into knots protecting trump from any oversight when the repubs controlled the House…other than the fact that he was protecting the biggest criminal to ever infest government…and, over the past few days, we have seen even more from the biggest snowflake in the House when his fee fees were hurt by parody twitter accounts called Devin Nunes’ Mom, and Devin Nunes’ Cow whose sole purpose is to make fun of the idiot’s behavior. Now, in about of the most snow flakey behavior I have ever seen, ole Devin has sued twitter and these two accounts for 250 million dollars alleging “emotional distress” from having these accounts make fun of his stupid behavior….now, as we see every day, the repubs don’t know what’s in the constitution and really don’t care…but this one just makes me laugh since a public figure is fair game to ridicule for his behavior, or his looks, or anything else that satirists decide is funny at the time…it’s not up to Nunes to decide what other people can say about him…so, this suit is going to explode and probably kill a judge from laughter if it ever even gets to court. One unintended consequence the ole Devin didn’t plan on was that, with his help, the devincow twitter account now has more followers than he does…and that means that instead of silencing it, the idiot Devin has just made sure that more and more people will know just how ridiculous he is….poor, poor snowflake…
It’s all pretty simple…
Well…if you’ve seen the news at all lately, you’ve seen the idiot trump’s meltdown over the weekend and everyone is trying to figure out why now? I have an idea and it appears to be connected to the latest bombshell that Deutsche bank is being investigated and is cooperating with at least two congressional committees, and various NY prosecutors who are looking into the trump attempt get Deutsche to lend him money to buy the Buffalo Bills. The undercurrent here is that trump regularly inflated and deflated his net worth to get loans and not pay taxes and that is part of what is going on…but, the big question that came up yesterday in the news was “why did Deutsche Bank continue to loans money (to the tune of over 2 billion dollars) to idiot boy after the had already defaulted on at least one loan from them along with a bond issue that Deutsche underwrote? Now, I think it’s all pretty simple why they did it…the Russian oligarchs who were using Deutsche to launder money made them a boatload of cash while doing it told them to…and trump was one of their most important conspirators here in the US and the Russians needed to keep him afloat to continue the scheme…after all, if he went bankrupt again and lost all of his properties, the new owners probably wouldn’t allow the Russians to continue to buy condos etc. which is the preferred method of laundering money into the US. So we really do know why trump is freaking out…the noose is closing and he knows it…and there is not a damn thing he can do about the state charges of bank and income tax fraud that he is staring down the barrel at…cripes, at this point, the Mueller investigation is looking more and more like it just may be irrelevant in taking down trump…it will be nice for understanding how the Russians stole the election for trump, but not necessary to ensure that trump spends the rest of his life in prison after he is gone…impeach….
