Well….have just been reading about the repubs candidate for the senate in Alabama, Roy Moore, and the allegation that he molested a bunch of teenage girls when he was in his 30’s…the youngest one being 14 years old at the time. And what is the reaction from the rest of the repubs…I’m talking to you, Mitch McConnell, nothing but crickets…which says to me that they are perfectly okay with child molestation….same sex marriage is icky but child molestation is okay. This self-righteous bigot spent his entire career in the courts of Alabama trying to force his bigoted take on christianity on the entire state…going so far as to ignore the Obergfell decision that expanded marriage equality, saying he had more authority than the supreme court…and getting removed twice for refusing to follow the law. Now, we know that, again, the law is for other people, not Roy Moore…and child molestation is just peachy with him…typical repub hypocrite…..

Tough talk…but little else….
Well…the idiot trump was all talk and bluster during the election where he bragged that he would put China in their place and stop their trade manipulation that was costing American jobs….okay, are you laughing as much as I am? After today, and his comments in China, you should be. The idiot today praised China’s predatory trade policies by saying this: “I don’t blame China for gaining the upper hand in trade deals…I give China great credit”. So, one of his tough talks about China was nothing but another lie to get his know nothing followers to vote for him and when in the presence of China’s leaders, he folds like a wet towel…just like every bully everywhere. This was then compounded by trump not taking any questions from reporters on his 180 degree about face…the first time since the early 90’s and his press secretary blamed it on the Chinese…that they insisted that there would be no questions. Now, the Chinese tried this crap on Clinton and Obama and they refused to let them muzzle them..but I guess the tough guy trump isn’t as tough as he lied he was….and what president would ever allow that to happen? The USA looks very small today in comparison to the Chinese…and it’s all trump’s fault…impeach….
I’m happy for the first time in a year…
Well….with the sound rejection of repubs and trumpism last night, I am happy politically for the first time in a year….the voters in Virginia, New Jersey, and Washington State gave us some hope for a better country…one that rejects the crass hate of the right for the inclusivity and welcoming of our side. Last night proved the mantra that I have been speaking since the depressing events of 2016…if WE vote, we win….and I am thankful for the work done at the grassroots in Virginia and the rest of the country that returned control of three states to our side….and the difference in the reactions to our side winning was stark…our winners immediately embraced the fact that they represent all of the people they were elected to serve…even those that didn’t vote for them….something that was always understood until the divisive politics of the repubs poisoned the country….so, all I have to say is keep it up dems….we are working for a better country for all of us and, with last night’s results, it just may be possible….the trump meltdown today is going to be delicious….
Just get on with it…
Well…with the dribs and drabs coming out of the Mueller investigation, I really want to scream “get on with it” and light a fire under them to get to the big fish…I know, the wheels of justice turn slowly but the damage to the country done by the idiot trump needs to be contained and right now….and the factional war on the left continues with the big “controversy” of who favored who from the DNC…something that is in the past and needs to be kept there while we focus on the future and how we can defeat the liars and thieves on the right….isn’t that the most important thing? Here’s the thing…we on the left need to get past the purity tests and and make sure anyone who wants to help us advance the progressive ideas that have made this country great is welcomed…yeah, it may mean some arguing but that’s how ideas are formed and how everyone’s ideas are heard…so, let’s stop shooting ourselves in the foot with the idiotic protest votes that put trump in office…and let’s get the hell out and vote…after all, when we vote, we win….
Another thing that trump is ignorant of….
Well…as trump continues on the Asia embarrassment tour, one little piece of news made me just shake my head at how ignorant this asshole is…talking to the PM of Japan, he said that the Japanese should make cars in the US instead of “shipping them over”….now the stupidity and ignorance of this statement is just breathtaking….how can anyone that has lived in the US in the past 30 years not know that more than 80% of the Japanese cars that are sold here are made here? The depths of this idiots ignorance of everything is just astounding…especially coming from a ” great businessman”…at least that what he calls himself…I’d call him just unrelentingly stupid….impeach….
It is to laugh…
Well….borrowed that title from Bugs Bunny but it fits the Papa John’s/ NFL bullshit to a T….to catch you up, the owner of Papa John’s, John Schnatter, is blaming flagging sales of his pizza on the players who are taking a knee to focus attention of the fact of minorities being abused by police across this country. This idiot has pulled his advertising from NFL games as support of the idea that NFL leadership needs to “do something” about the players, just like all of his racist buddies. Now, I have different take on why sales are down for this idiot’s stores, could it be his unwavering support of the idiot trump? Or his big mouth going on and on about the ACA requiring him to provide insurance for his employees and his rants that he would cut everyone’s hours to avoid having to do that…all the while building a 30 million dollar house while he cries that he can’t afford to provide insurance? What this moron doesn’t understand is that more than 60% of this country hates trump and trumpism and many of us are trying to do something about it…and it may just be the small thing of not supporting any company whose owner supports trump by not buying his lousy pizza. So, it is to laugh that the cause of his falling sales are the NFL players…take a look in the mirror…you are the cause…and I hope it just gets worse…
The math doesn’t add up….
Well…another day, another repub tax cutting plan being exposed for the fraud that it is….their grand plan was supposed to be released today but they are still working on it..and now it will be released tomorrow…never mind that they have been “working” on their tax plan since at least 2010…and they have nothing to show for it but tax cuts for the rich and raising taxes on everyone else. And magically, deficits no longer matter…all of the scores say that this “plan” (what little is known of it) would explode the deficit by 1.5 trillion dollars a year…whatever happened to the “grave concern” that the repubs were expressing about the national debt just a few months ago? Now, we on the left knew that Paul Ryan was a fraud and his “wonkishness” and expertise on budget matters was nonsense…after all, how much expertise is needed to give more and more money to the rich and corporations? It’s just like the CEO’s that are brought in to make companies profitable again and all they do is cut jobs…not grow the company or innovate…but just cut, cut, cut while they cash their 8 figure paychecks. Ryan and his tax plan are both frauds….and we are all going to pay for it….geez…
Politics as promised….
Well…did anyone else see the desperation on the right with the indictment of 3 of trump’s cronies? Fox “news” went into overdrive trying to change the subject back to the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory of “giving away” American uranium…and here’s the thing, the sale of a Canadian uranium company to a Russian one was done completely above board and following all of the rules, approved by 9 different agencies, none of which were controlled by Hillary…so now Hillary has “given away” 20% of our uranium….just like every other lie from Fox “news” and the right, the only purpose is to protect trump until they get the giveaway to the rich done and raise taxes on the rest of us….I, for one, am going to get the popcorn ready to watch the next set of indictments come down…it is going to get to trump and Pence, and the rest of them who have lied to the FBI…..please, please…Jared next…and then little donnie…and then Ivanka…just remember this one thing…both Jared and Ivanka had a felony case bribed away for one of their real estate scams…and that one can be revived…I wonder if there will have to be a trump wing at one of the federal prisons? Hope so…impeach…
It’s Manafort to start…
Well…it has just hit the news that Paul Manafort (the idiot trump’s former campaign manager) is the first one to be charged in the trump/Russia investigation….the charges haven’t been released yet but I know what the idiot’s response is going to be “I barely know the guy…he was only around for a little while and wasn’t really a part of the campaign…” but, a really telling thing is that there haven’t been any tweets yet….hey, Donnie…he’s coming for you…impeach…
The dam is breaking…
Well…I am positively giddy that it was leaked that the first indictments have been approved in the trump/Russia investigation yesterday….and that the first arrests could take place as early as Monday…and now we know why the idiot trump was tweeting like crazy yesterday, trying to deflect the media toward the totally debunked Hillary/uranium fake scandal…and his minions across the right wing media were going nuts trying to do the same…it seems the heat is on and I really hope this dam will break next week as more and more indictments are handed down…Mueller has trump and he knows it…this meltdown is going to be lots of fun to watch…there are even some repub house members that are now saying that they were just waiting for this to happen for them to start the impeachment process (yeah, right)….maybe idiot boy won’t make a year in office? We can only hope….impeach….
