Well…with the Nunberg meltdown that took all of the oxygen out of the news media yesterday, one little story flew under the radar that is just more evidence of Russian meddling in our country and the fact that the idiot trump is not doing anything about it. This story would be shocking in any other “administration”, but with all of the scandal and cronyism coming out of the WH, it has not gotten the attention it deserves….yesterday it was reported that Christopher Steele told Bob Mueller that his contacts in Russia have told him that Russia intervened when the idiot trump wanted Mitt Romney as his Secretary of State since Romney is a noted hawk on Russia and would ensure that the sanctions on Russia were not lifted. So, who did we get when the Russians vetoed Romney? Rex Tillerson who Putin awarded the Russian Order of Friendship to for his collaboration with the Russians when he was the head of Exxon/Mobil…and someone who has so many connections to Russia that Putin thought he would be easily manipulated to support removing sanctions. Is this treason, finally? How about it repubs…are you going to do anything now when the idiot in the WH is clearly doing Russia’s bidding? What a traitorous bunch…impeach….

What a meltdown…
Well…haven’t been feeling that hot this afternoon and I thought I wouldn’t be back for a second one…but, this was just too damn delicious to pass up. This afternoon, one of the idiot trump’s campaign aides, Sam Nunberg, went into a total meltdown on every news channel there is today in response to a grand jury subpoena that was served on him by Mueller, saying that he wouldn’t turn over the e-mails and texts to and from others on the campaign and wouldn’t even show up for his meeting on Friday…basically daring Mueller to arrest him. In the multi show meltdown, there was one nugget that came out that I’ll bet has the WH crapping themselves today…talking to Jake Tapper, Nunberg said that trump knew about the meeting in trump tower with Russian spies and talked about it a week before it happened…now, I’m not sure how much you can trust someone who has clearly gone over the edge, but, if true, this will just add to the obstruction of justice evidence that Mueller already has on idiot boy…can’t wait to hear Rachel tonight…this should be fun….impeach…
Watch out…he’s gonna blow!
Well…just sitting here reading the news and, with all of the scandals that are quickly closing in on the idiot trump, the title of this one just popped into my head..”watch out, he’s gonna blow”. It is well reported today that idiot boy became “unglued” when Hope Hicks resigned and that was preceded by another blowup when he heard that she was talking to Mueller…and now, who does the idiot have to talk to who doesn’t think he’s a moron? More telling evidence that the pressure gauge is almost maxed out was the twitter rant he went on this morning attacking Alec Baldwin that was full of spelling errors and that was erased 10 minutes later…I guess one of the staff took his phone away for a few minutes….now, I normally don’t wish ill on anyone…I’m more of live and let live kind of person…but, with the idiot boy, I hope he goes into full meltdown mode soon…the country can’t take much more of his venality and stupidity…and I hope he takes all of the repubs with him….impeach….
Isn’t that wrong?
Well….as the repub tax scam’s effects continue to be reported by the press, a little noted news item from yesterday really rams home how unfair it really is…and I am going to make this a little personal. It was reported that Amazon is not going to pay a penny in taxes on income of over 5.6 billion dollars….yep, not one damn dime on 5.6 billion dollars in income…isn’t that wrong? Isn’t it wrong that all of you reading this are going to have to pay taxes and Amazon doesn’t? We all know that the tax code is slanted to favor the rich and business, but this latest cut, passed by repubs, makes that slant even higher, allowing many companies in this country to not pay anything…wouldn’t it be nice if some of that “trickled down” to you and me? I guess I shouldn’t bitch too much since Amazon and I paid the same amount of taxes to the feds this year…but, I paid some to Michigan so my taxes were higher than Amazon’s this year…isn’t that wrong? Yep….geez…
Less than 6%….
Well… we all know (at least those of us in the fact based community) that the repub “middle class tax cut” was a scam since the start…it was always driven by the need of the repubs to reward their big donors and to keep them from turning off the money taps that keep these idiots getting elected….and now the facts are in, that less than 6% of the business cuts went to workers…and the lies told by the repubs to get them passed are now objectively lies. You remember them don’t you? That the tax cuts would raise wages for workers, that the tax cuts would spur investment that would mean more jobs? that the tax cuts were targeted at workers and they would get a huge windfall? None of it is happening (are you surprised?) and, with the latest analysis, the only people who are benefiting are, of course, the 1%. Now, there are slivers of hope that the media is finally starting to do some actual, factual reporting on this issue but I still want to hear them ask idiot boy Ryan why he lied about who the beneficiaries were going to be of this budget busting monstrosity…and then do some damn follow up questions to hold his feet to the fire….geez…
Now they’re hypocrites about free markets…
Well…as the pressure mounts on the corporate supporters of the NRA to flee before permanent damage is done to their brands, we now have another huge bout of hypocrisy by the repubs in Georgia (are you surprised?). The free market is just fine, fine, fine, as long as it supports the right wing assholes in this country, but as soon as it doesn’t go their way, they screech that it’s unfair and try to use the government to force business to do what they want. The latest is the idiot repubs in Georgia threatening Delta airlines with increased taxes sine they broke with the NRA and decided to not be part of NRA sanctioned murder machine that almost daily kills children across the country. And, do you know what Delta did? They immediately started looking for a new state to move their headquarters to…putting 30,000 jobs in Georgia at risk and making real the possibility of billions of dollars of economic losses just so the lieutenant governor can earn his NRA bribes. This has fallout past just Delta moving…with the politicization of business tax breaks in Georgia, Amazon is now re-thinking putting a headquarters there citing the uncertainty of doing something that would make the idiot repubs there mad and bringing retaliation down on them. So, nice job hypocrites…I hope the bribes you got from the NRA are enough to offset the billions of dollars you are going to lose with your bullshit….and I can’t wait for you to explain to the 30,000 people who will be out of jobs that the NRA is more important than them…November is coming….geez…
Now they’re trying to kill children…
Well…can the repubs get any lower? Their continued support for the NRA and the gun manufacturers have meant that children are just fodder for their political games…they will protect the hell out of them until they are born but after that they are on their own…and that was emphasized by the announcement yesterday that the idiot running the EPA….”first class Pruitt” will be closing the lab that studies the effect of new chemicals on children…yep, idiot Pruitt can fly first class all over the world but he says the US can’t afford to ensure that the new chemicals pushed by the chemical companies don’t kill children…this is all part of the dystopian vision that these idiots have for this country, that corporations will do the right thing and not kill us in the service of profit for the rich. Remembering back to my anatomy classes when I was working on my psych degree, it was known that chemicals affect the fast growing tissues of children in completely different ways than adults….and it is necessary to study these effects before using the children across this country as guinea pigs by introducing new chemicals without study. This is the modern repub party, folks…it’s okay for corporations to profit off of the killing of our children as long as the political donations keep flowing…geez….
The NRA is a bunch of whiners…
Well…I have been laughing at the meltdown that has been coming out of the NRA over the past couple of weeks as their advertisers and partners flee them in the aftermath of the Florida murders…as people rightly assign blame to them for preventing meaningful gun control by buying repub politicians. The response from the NRA to these latest developments started out with denial…that there was no problem with losing partners since it was a only a few leaving…that changed when almost all of their corporate partners bailed over the past week and then they turned to anger at the companies that left calling them “unpatriotic” and bleating that the NRA was the only organization protecting our “freedom” and that these companies would be sorry for leaving…that one made me laugh since it was just so predictable…sounding like an 8 year old throwing a tantrum. The latest is that they are now attacking the survivors of Parkland, calling the teenagers “bullies” for working to neuter the NRA and make sure that anyone taking money from them will be voted out of office. Now, that is just too rich..the biggest bully in the political sphere is calling a bunch of teenagers bullies for standing up to the NRA and fighting their nonsense….I just love that the nuts at the NRA are finally getting a dose of their own medicine…maybe we can get some sensible gun legislation now…..geez…
Since when is Warren Buffet in the middle class?
Well…we all know that the repubs lie all the time, every damn time they open their mouths it’s a lie…and that was the case with the tax cut scam that has been foisted on the American people. They have gone on an on about how much of the cuts will go to the middle class; that it’s primary benefit will go to the middle class…my question is since when is Warren Buffet in the middle class? Just yesterday, Buffet revealed how much his tax cut was from that odious piece of crap…29 billion dollars…yep, one person, one of the richest people in the world got a gift of 29 billion dollars from the cuts…I wonder what you got? I know I didn’t get a damn dime and analysis of the law found that companies and the rich got over 95% of the cuts….so, that leaves 5% for the rest of us…I wonder what 5% divided by 330 million people is? Not jack shit, and the lie that giving companies all that money would “trickle down” to higher wages…nope wrong again….only 3.5% of the tax cuts went into wages and most of them went to “bonuses” that are one time things…not a raise in wages that are permanent. The rest went to stockholders and owners just as it was designed to do….so when you look in your paycheck and see that extra buck fifty….remember the 29 billion and how the repubs screwed you….
Let’s stop the NRA nonsense of arming teachers…
Well…yesterday, the idiot trump, under prompting by the NRA (or is it under orders from the NRA?) proposed that the solution to school massacres is to arm every teacher in the US since “the only solution to a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun” to quote the NRA. Yeah, there are a few huge problems with that…the first is that, once the shooting starts, the teachers will certainly be outgunned since there is no crazy assed proposal to give all of them an AR-15, the murder weapon of choice for school shooters, and second, according to sheriffs across the country, is that in an active shooter situation they don’t know who the good guy is so any teacher responding would be just as likely to be killed by the police than by the terrorist. This whole fallacy that “good guys with guns” can take down bad guys with guns was proven by the attack on St. Ronnie of Reagan when his 12 good guys with guns (the Secret Service) couldn’t stop the one “bad guy with a gun” that shot him three times before anyone could wrestle him to the ground. This whole nonsense is just a ploy to change the conversation away from gun control and getting rid of some of the 300 million guns in this country to how can they sell more guns and continue to normalize them in every facet of our lives….even the conservative police departments across this country don’t want more guns…they even want to end open carry and concealed carry since it makes life more dangerous for them…but, the NRA doesn’t give a shit…they just want to sell, sell, sell….geez….
