Well…just watched a show on PBS about the hundreds of dedicated people who spend their lives protecting the Great Lakes ecosystem from pollution and invasive species and who are trying to repair the damage that has been done by both of those dangers…one thing that struck me was what one of the people in the show said about how he looks at the lakes and that is that he is part of the stewardship of the lakes, that he is taking care of them for the world, not just the people around the lakes…after all, 20% of the fresh water in the world is contained in the lakes and they include 3 of the 5 largest lakes in the world. So, when I hear that the idiot trump is going to cut all the funding for these programs, I just can’t believe the damage that will be done….when I was young the lakes were just dumping grounds for industry and they have come such a long way that I am just pissed that the morons in this country voted for the idiot who is going to take us back to the bad old days….impeach….

Noodling again….
Well…got a nice bike ride in and had the pork loin for lunch and that started the day off pretty good…but, I have been looking for topics today and just found a couple that makes me shake my head…first…the idiot trump got twice as much money as any previous *president for his inaugural fund…and the idiot is crowing about it…okay donnie…the only damn reason you got that much money is that you are so damn corrupt that the money is essentially huge bribes from these individuals and companies since they know you can be bought….the second thing is the fact that over 48,000 mental health professionals have signed a petition asking that trump be removed from office since he is clinically insane….I wonder how ole donnie is taking that? His poor little ego must be hurting a little from that one….okay, the MotoGP race is going to start so I’m going to do that….
Throttling it back a bit…
Well….after my breathless post yesterday, I wanted to come back here and ground myself back in reality in regards to Jason Chaffetz. Okay….I am going to admit I am probably wrong that he is quitting the house because of wrongdoing on his part…it’s possible, but I think there is a simpler explanation for his resignation…after doing a little reading on his career, I think the real reason is that he sees which way the wind is blowing and he doesn’t want his career derailed by association with trump…and his move yesterday to have trump explain to his committee that he is not violating the constitution with his business dealings seems to buttress that conclusion. Chaffetz also has seen much of the evidence against trump and his cronies and knows what it coming and wants to get on the right side of the law with it…and that would square with Chaffetz’s ambitions to higher office in the future. So, my return to sanity from the world of wishful thinking is complete….it was kind of fun over there, though, and I can’t promise that sanity is going to be permanent….
Yow…this is big…
Well…the pieces are falling into place on why Jason Chaffetz abruptly resigned from congress today…. money laundering for the Russians through his campaign since the Russians knew of his long term affair and were blackmailing him about it….I thought it was strange that he got a 10 million dollar donation from trump the day after he released the Comey letter before the election….and now information is coming out that the Russian connections go much wider than trump and his cronies. A source has said today that the FBI has a tape of both Ryan and McConnell talking about how to launder Russian mob money through their campaigns. Yep, you heard that right…the speaker of the house and the senate majority leader are on tape colluding to launder money for the Russians…how corrupt are the damn repubs? Can it get worse? Yep…I’ve been saying it for a long time that these were the most corrupt people ever to run this country and now it appears I was right….and the reason that ole Jason resigned so abruptly is that he is cutting a deal and that is probably part of it…I just can’t wait to see the perp walks that are going to come from this….impeach the whole lot of them….
Okay…I thought I’d better come back here for a minute to temper the breathlessness of this post…sure don’t want to be the left wing version of Breitbart or Infowars, sites that lie and lie and lie for political gain…let’s just leave this as something to watch for….and see what happens…..don’t want to hurt my credibility by going too far…and if this isn’t true, I’ll be back to say I was wrong….
Sexual harassment isn’t the worst of it…
Well….with the idiot Bill O’Reilly being fired by fox news for sexual harassment of basically every women he ever came into contact with, I want everyone to remember that this harassment wasn’t the worst of what O’Reilly did to this country…he was single-handedly responsible for a generation of people believing that opinions were the same as facts and it was perfectly acceptable to hate someone for trumped up reasons. He was personally responsible for the murder of Dr. Tiller…the doctor that provided abortions for women who needed them…railing against him 29 times on his show that he was a murderer and that someone should do something about it…and one of his deranged followers did…murdering him in his church. One of Billos chief points of destruction was the pushing of false equivalency…the both side do it but when the dems do it, it is the worst thing that ever happened to the country…his latest was trying to make Susan Rice doing her job equal to trump and his idiot minions colluding with Russia to steal the election. The damage that this idiot did to this country cannot be overstated…and I am glad he is gone…even if it’s only temporary…impeach trump….
Bye, bye Billo….
Well…those are words I have been wanting and waiting to say for many, many years…that ole Bill O’Reilly is being fired by fox news…yep, I guess they finally saw that the toxic sexual harasser who has lost almost 70% of his advertisers in the last week he was on the air was a danger to fox news and their bottom line so they are cutting him loose…but, to show how sexist and ridiculous the fox news environment really is, it wasn’t enough that they paid out 13 million dollars in settlements to the women he harassed…they were okay with that, but they were not okay with the damage that keeping him was doing to the rest of the shows and to their revenue….as always with the right and their shills, it is just fine if they act like asses and treat women like crap just as long as they are making money for the oligarchs, but when the money stops, the false outrage comes out and they grow some fake moral spine….all I have to say is bye bye Billo…don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…..impeach trump….
Here comes the trump economy…
Well…as the idiot trump boasted that his economy would be “the greatest” and some in the business community bought into those lies to make the stock market shoot up, the reality of the idiot that knows nothing being in control is finally being felt….starting with job growth that was half of predicted last month, we now have more data showing that trump being in office and the morons he has put into the government just because they are rich don’t have a clue what they are doing and the things they are doing are damaging business confidence….and that is slicing the estimates of growth in the economy to under 1%….not the bigly 4% that trump promised…but we all know how much he lies and he didn’t even know anything about the economy so why would anyone think he could deliver on those promises? So, the idiot trump can no longer blame anyone but himself when we hit the next recession that is coming this summer..;..this is what you voted for trump voters…enjoy the unemployment lines you idiots….impeach..
Bye, bye Jason…
Well…a small smile came to my face this morning when I read that the trump shill, Jason Chaffetz, won’t run for re-election in his safe Utah seat 2018. I guess he’s not cashing in enough being in congress and I’m sure he will end up on the wingnut welfare circuit and make a few million dollars a year being a lobbyist or go to work for fox news. I wonder if this has anything to do with the information he has seen concerning the trump collusion with Russia? I wonder even more if he sees himself being caught up in the investigation…after all, he was involved with the trump campaign and it seem like everyone that had a finger in that rotten pie is going to go to jail. All I have to day is good riddance….maybe the protesters who have shouting “do your job” about the trump investigation he has been stalling have had an effect…impeach trump….
That fleet heading toward NK…just another lie….
Well…you remember the tough talk by the idiot trump last week that he was sending a fleet of navy ships toward North Korea? Yeah, just another lie from the blowhard who thinks foreign policy is just a series of threats to both friend and foe alike. Today it was revealed that trump’s fleet that was being sent to intimidate North Korea was actually 3,500 hundred miles away heading for an exercise with the Australian navy…the idiot trump’s WH lied about where the ships were, where they were going and what they were doing….and they think this would deter anyone? This is “showing North Korea we mean business”? All this has done is shown the world that they have nothing to fear from the incompetent idiots in the WH…this is making america great again? Impeach….
Here’s your reward idiots…
Well….to those of you that live near the Great Lakes and like the idea that you have clean drinking water that comes from them and who voted for trump, here’s your reward idiots. Trump and his cronies are going to close the Chicago EPA office whose primary function is to ensure that no one pollutes the drinking water of 30 million people and they are going to eliminate the Great Lakes Initiative, the 300 million dollar program that was passed to help clean up the Great Lakes and to control invasive species…so, you’ve seen the pictures of the big head carp that have taken over rivers in Illinois and that jump in the air when a boat passes…imagine that enlarged to a huge scale when they get to the great lakes since the program to control them is part of the GLI. You voted for this you idiots,,,you voted to allow polluters to start the Cuyahoga river on fire again, you voted for dirtier water and air that is more polluted and that will kill more than 30,000 people every year…I cannot believe how stupid trump voters are…all of these effects will fall disproportionately on you, you idiots….and you’ll kill a bunch of us with your stupidity, too…impeach….
