Well…if you’ve read the news out of Wisconsin over the past year, you would have seen the idiot walker and the double idiot trump wielding their golden shovels at a groundbreaking for a manufacturing plant for Foxconn, a Chinese company whose previous claim to fame is that they make most of Apple’s I-phones and the working conditions at it’s plants are so terrible that they had to put up anti-suicide nets to keep their workers from throwing themselves off the roof. trump has been touting the plant as evidence of his dealmaking prowess and this has been joined by the repubs in Wisconsin who gave Foxconn over 3 billion dollars to buy their plant for them but guess what? As of yesterday, Foxconn has said nevermind…they are not going to build a plant or hire the 15,000 people they promised….it was all just a scam and one that Foxconn has pulled in multiple locations across the world and in the US. I wonder how the idiot trump is going to spin this one? The people of Wisconsin are already on the hook for site improvements like roads, sewers, and electricity to the site and there are hundreds of families who had their property seized for this debacle who can’t go back to the nice little small town that is no longer there….and the repubs still don’t give a damn…they specifically set the whole deal up with walker and his cronies so there would be no consequences to Foxconn or anyone else involved in the “project” if it failed…they won’t fund the schools there since they claim poverty but they have hundreds of millions to invest in this scam…this is normal repub bullshit folks and they all need to go…impeach…

These new polls are making me laugh…
Well….just a shorty on some news that I just read a few minutes ago that made me laugh out loud…the question that was asked was “would you vote for trump in the next election” and the answers kind of made my faith in the American people re-kindle….almost 60% of the people asked said they would not vote for trump…and that was confirmed with another poll that said basically the same thing that 56% of those asked would not vote for trump and only 28% said they would…so his hold on his “base” is slipping and the rest of the country have had enough of the idiot boy and want him to just go away…and that makes me smile…can’t wait for the perp walk when he is indicted and arrested when he’s out of office…impeach…
Who would you believe?
Well…the stupident keeps getting more and more stupid as each day goes on…the latest is a spat with the entire intelligence service of the US after they testified in the Senate yesterday that all of the things that trump said are great accomplishment by him in foreign policy are all just he delusions of a sub-standard mind. The heads of all of the agencies agreed that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, that North Korea is never going to give up it’s nuclear program, that ISIS is not defeated, and the withdrawal of troops from Syria is a huge mistake…all things that idiot boy has used as talking points to puff himself up but the reality is that his stupid, toddler moves have made ISIS and Iran stronger…and anyone with a brain can see that. That is one thing that trump has never been accused of, having a brain that is, and he showed that with tweets this morning where he attacked his own intelligence service heads as being “naive” and implying that he knows more than they do…that is something that almost everyone knows is not true since trump really is the stupident…the question that needs to be asked is who do you believe? Intelligence professionals or the dumbest person on the face of the planet? I know who I believe…impeach…
Geez…trump is stupid…
Well…with the cold weather that is hitting the midwest, of course the stupident has to bleat out that it’s the coldest weather in history (it’s not) and then goes on to say that we could sure use some global warming right now…geez trump is stupid…and trying to score points with the idiot climate change deniers by his smug assed tweet. Okay, I’ll explain this one more time…as the arctic warms, from human action and burning fossil fuels, it disrupts the jet stream which then allows the polar vortex to split, this time into three parts that then results in cold air that would normally stay at the poles crashing down into the lower latitudes….the warming of the arctic has de-stabilized the weather patterns, making for large swings in temperatures…after this bitter cold, it is going to be 40 and raining Sunday…just showing how unstable the climate has become. But, as we know…the idiot trump only gets his “news” from fox and there must have been a denier or two on there this morning and trump just had to weigh in like a 5 year old…nope, a 5 year old in kindergarten knows more than trump….he is the most stupid person on the face of the Earth…impeach…
There is no center anymore…
Well…with the announcement the Howard Schultz, the ex CEO of Starbucks, is thinking about running for president as a “centrist” independent since he has the delusion that there is no difference between the idiot trump and the normal people on our side who have announced they are running. For some reason, he thinks that there is this huge pool of voters that still exist in the center of the political spectrum that he can tap into to get elected…I have news for you, Howie, there is no center anymore…if you look at what propelled the dems to victory in 2018, is sure wasn’t centrist bullshit that you are spouting, that you can compromise with the repubs and that they have the good of the country at heart…open your damn eyes, Howie…there is not one damn repub that negotiates in good faith anymore and the only way to get this country back on the right path is not repub light…it is the progressive policies and ideas that our candidates ran on…like healthcare for all and honesty in government…and government that works for everyone not just the 1%. So, Howie, just go back to you summer home and your yachts…if you run, you will put trump back in the WH since some deluded people will vote for you and it will split the vote and let trump win…or, is that your plan? Impeach….
Labor deserves some thanks, too…
Well…now that the idiot trump has been slapped down by Nancy Pelosi both by depriving him his SOTU and by saying no to his stupid border wall and getting the government back open, there is another group that deserves some thanks, too…and that is the good folks who labor every day to keep this country running who just said enough of working without pay and stopped air travel on the East coast. This was the straw that got the repubs back to negotiating and shows us the path forward if this ever happens again…and one of the things we need to do as dems is to give labor and unions all of the support we can on every issue since it is the right thing to do…and will be a huge factor in recreating the middle class in this country. We are all in this re-construction together and we need to welcome all groups who want to be part of it even it they have different ideas of how to get things done…and we do need to get things done, we need to start to repair the damage that the repubs have done over the past 40 years and make sure that everyone has a chance…not just the rich and entitled…and we need to get ready for 2020 when we can use our popular message to win and transform this country…that starts now…
It’s all a distraction…
Well…it just came across the news that the idiot trump has agreed to re-open the government for three weeks without funding for his stupid wall…and I am surprised that no one understands the real reason for this about face…could it be the arrest of Roger Stone today and the need of the idiot to get it out of the news as soon as possible? We all know that trump sees the entire world only as it relates to him…he does not give a shit about opening the government or about the damage his shutdown has done…he just needs another distraction from the tightening noose that the Stone charging papers have put around his neck…that Stone was directed to break the law by high officials in the trump campaign and the only ones he dealt with were Steve Bannon and trump…that’s why this shutdown announcement of the past few minutes is just a distraction to get the news talking about anything other than Roger Stone and his arrest and role in helping Russia install trump. Impeach….
Going left…
Well…one of the things I’ve noticed with the latest batch of dems elected last fall is that most of them were elected by running on true progressive ideas like healthcare for all and everyone paying their fair share in taxes along with protecting the dignity and rights of all Americans, and that means everyone, not just the chosen ones that the repubs think deserve representation. I am hoping this drives the final stake in the notion that you can’t win elections other than by moving to the center…but the center is where ideas go to die and you just get repub lite that can’t really move this country forward…but, I hesitate to label these ideas as left since they are only labeled that by the repubs trying to smear them and make them the “other” that they are so good at demonizing. What this new wave of progressivism is is just a returning to the values that made this country great…it is a rejection of the hate and division that the repubs have used to motivate their nativist, racist base and an embrace of the diversity that has always made this country better…and that goes for immigrants, the LGBT community, the poor and the marginalized…that is who this new group is fighting for…and for honesty and governing for the protection of all Americans and the clean air and water they need to thrive. My only advice to this new generation of dems is go left…and be proud to be a progressive dem since those ideas are American ideas that most of the country supports…go get ’em….
Clothing is speech…
Well…have been searching around for a topic for today and it just popped into my head that maybe I should talk about clothing…specifically, clothing that has a message on it, and the fallout that comes from the message it sends. In the news lately, we have the Covington Catholic school boys who were filmed harassing a Native American man while wearing MAGA hats…and justifying the hats by saying they are just hats and a fad in their community. Yeah, right…those particular hats are connected to the racism, misogyny, and hatred that the idiot trump spouts every day…and I agree that they ARE the new white hoods like those worn by the KKK to terrorize AA’s throughout our history…they are just modernized versions of those hoods and are meant for the same things…to intimidate people who are not straight, white, and christian…and these kids understand that…especially when videos have surfaced of other kids from CC in blackface screaming at an opposing black basketball player…and not one damn adult is saying anything to them…no teacher, no administrator, no parent thought there was anything wrong with it. As it was in the 70’s when those of us opposed to the Vietnam war wore peace signs on our clothing and through today when we wear articles that support women’s rights…clothing can send a message either of peace or of hate…and a MAGA hat sends just that message of hate…it’s not ironic as some defenders of the CC kids have tried to assert…it is just about hate and white privilege…things that are acceptable to the CC community…and to way too many others in this country….
When historians write…
Well…have been thinking of this a bit lately with the destruction being done to this country…when historians write about what caused the demise of America, the one answer is going to be Mitch McConnell. That’s it…everything bad that is happening is all because idiot boy Mitch cares nothing about democracy or this country…the government could be open right now if he would let the bill that passed unanimously a few weeks back to be reintroduced since it had a veto-proof majority in the senate and the same in the house…all he has to do is just let the vote happen but he won’t for some reason…oh, hell, we all know the reason…just because he can and he is an asshole…when the obituary of this country is written the cause of death is McConnell and nothing else…how can anyone hate this country so much? Impeach…
