Well…just had to do a short one on an article that I just read about NAFTA and the “great dealmaker” who resides in the WH…after his bluster and bullshit about how bad of a deal NAFTA is and the only he can get a better deal….it was revealed the other day that with all of the idiot trump’s hatred of Mexico, they have decided to purchase all of the agricultural products that they would normally purchase from US farmers from South America. Yep, from trump running his big mouth and his racism, farmers in the US just lost almost 14 billion dollars in sales to Mexico….how do you like that farmers? These folks went for trump by almost 70% and now many of them will be put out of business…and all I can say is “votes have consequences” and this idiot and his blundering is what you voted for…I don’t have a damn bit of sympathy for you….impeach…

The PR electrical contract gets even worse…
Well…if you remember, I did one of these earlier in the week about the 300 million dollar, no-bid electrical contract that Whitefish Energy got to restore the electrical grid in Puerto Rico…you know, the company with two employees and no office anywhere that is owned by trump cronies….that’s bad enough, but it gets even worse…in the contract, there is a clause that forbids anyone from auditing anything about the costs in the contract…yep, no one can know how much profit these guys are stealing or anything else…other than what they are charging…and they ARE charging…I mean $300 dollars an hour for a lineman? And $332 dollars for accommodations and $80 bucks a day for food? So, they are billing at least $812 dollars a day for EACH of the contract people they are renting since they only have 2 full time employees….I’ve done a lot of contracts and there is no damn way I would approve one that I couldn’t know what the costs are and how much profit is in it….but this is trumpworld so I guess that’s how things are done now….they should all be locked up…..impeach…
Elon Musk to the rescue….
Well…amid the total failure of the idiot trump and his fake companies to restore electrical service to Puerto Rico…5 weeks in and over 70% of the island is still without power…there has been one bright spot that was just reported on today. The San Juan children’s hospital has been hard hit by the hurricane and it’s aftermath, trying to keep the children alive using unreliable generators and the hurculean efforts of it’s staff….enter Elon Musk of Tesla who, a couple of days after the hurricane hit, offered to start the transition of the island to renewable power using his solar panels and batteries…but trump and his minions had no interest since coal and oil are the only things they think about….oh, and trying to make profit off of this disaster….in three weeks, Musk and his team have installed and started an installation that is supplying all of the reliable power that the hospital needs…and saving the lives of the most vulnerable….Now, this is how things should operate in a caring world..but, we live in trumpworld so good luck with that…..impeach…
Stealing more money…
Well…not sure if you’ve heard about the newest scheme from friends of the idiot trump to steal more money from you and I….this is a good one….with over 70% of Puerto Rico still without power, and without any oversight…a company from interior sec Ryan Zinke’s home town has just been given a 300 million dollar no-bid contract to repair over 2400 miles of electrical wires across the island…only one little problem with that…this “company” has only 2 employees, no office, and it’s biggest job to date was to string 5 miles of wires…yep, a company working out of a post office box or somebodies basement has just had 300 million of yours and my money shoveled to them and their only presence is a FB page where one of the “owners” is proudly a trump donor and has pictures of her with many trump cronies….now we know why the governor of PR ignored the current contracts and agreements for other electric companies to help in an emergency…he left his people in the dark so he could reward trump cronies with free cash….the swamp just gets deeper and deeper…repubs, these criminals need to go…impeach…
Just noticed this the other day…
Well…it’s been a gloomy day and that has put me in a kind of gloomy mood…it’s the middle of the afternoon and it is so dark in here I had to put the lights on…but, that’s not what I wanted to talk about…on my rides lately, I’ve begun to see political signs popping up along the route for the local election that is to be held in a couple of weeks. One thing that I have noticed about the signs is that the ones for the dems proudly say they are dems but the ones for the repubs don’t mention party affiliation….I wonder why that is? Especially since this part of Michigan is a hotbed of trumpism…you would think that they would be using that on the signs. All I know is if I ever see trump or repub on a sign…I’ll never vote for that person…period.
Now he’s calling a grieving widow a liar…
Well….I’m going to quit writing about the idiot trump for a while after this one since he just frickin disgusts me….I’m sure you’ve heard about the phone call he made to the widow of a fallen serviceman where he didn’t even know the soldiers name and basically saying with no empathy that “he knew what he signed up for”….then lied about what he said and then had John Kelly go out and lie his ass off, too…well…the chief ass made it worse this morning after the widow, Myeshia Johnson, went on a news show and told them how she was “very upset and hurt” by the idiot’s phone call and reiterated that idiot boy didn’t mention her husband’s name once on the call….of course, trump couldn’t let being called out as a liar go by without tweeting about it….lying his ass off that he mentioned Sargent Johnson’s name many times from the start of the call…essentially calling a gold star wife a liar…to go along with calling Rep Wilson a liar, too, who was in the car when the appalling call took place. Now, we all know that trump is the biggest liar the world has ever seen, but this incident points out his racism, too…a black soldier gets killed in action and he doesn’t even bother to learn his name, calling him “your guy” during the call and then smearing a black representative by calling her a liar and “wacky” in tweets yesterday. Now repubs, what the hell are you going to do about him? Nothing, I’m sure…just so you can gut the safety net and give tax cuts to your owners…impeach…
He’s no president…
Well….with the four living real presidents spending last night in Houston at a concert/fundraiser for hurricane relief that raised over 35 million dollars….where was the fake president? Golfing, of course, for the 72nd time since the Russians stole the election for him….trump is not only the worst human being on this Earth…he is no president…he is just a selfish asshole whose sole purpose seems to be to make this country worse as he steals everything that is not nailed down….get moving Mueller, this idiot has to go…impeach…
It’s trump’s fault…
Well…as more details come out about our four Green Berets who were killed in Niger a month ago, it becomes more and more clear that it really is trump’s fault. First some background….we have been working with Chad (the country) on anti terrorism operations for quite some time in Niger with the Chadian army doing most of the heavy lifting while our soldiers were there to advise on tactics….but, what does the idiot trump do with the last “Muslim ban”? Yep, not being able to think past his next meal, trump put Chad on the list of countries that are banned from getting US visas…essentially saying that they are not good enough to be able to come here even to visit. So, Chad said the hell with that and pulled all of it’s troops out of Niger, leaving our soldiers to fend for themselves which got four of them killed…so yep, the idiot trump is at fault with this moronic Muslim ban that does nothing but allow him to hate on Muslims…and now our soldiers die for his hatred…nice job, idiot…impeach…
Another thing about Kelly…
Well…if you haven’t yet seen Lawrence O’Donnell comment from last night about Kelly’s screed and attack on Congresswoman Wilson, you should go out and find it…it really put some background to the racist attack…but, that’s not what I wanted to talk about now….one little detail of Kelly’s speech flew under the radar and I think I need to make sure it doesn’t…during the speech, Kelly basically said that the only people that have the right to comment on anything about the military are people who have served or lost a family member who was serving in the military…now, to use Kelly’s favorite word, I am “stunned” that a person who has sworn an oath to protect the constitution would so casually discard the protections that come from the first amendment…we ALL get to talk about anything we want and being in the military doesn’t make you better or give you more rights than the rest of us…which is what he implied when trying to smear Congresswoman Wilson…this is just bullshit…I have had enough of the military fetishism in this country and that soldiers are to be “revered”…yeah, they do a tough job at times but so do a lot of people….so enough of this crap…a line from one of Graham Nash’s songs just ran through my head as I was writing this…”military madness is killing this country”.
Kelley is no different than trump…
Well….I know there have been many in the media that said that the idiot trump’s chief of staff, John Kelly, was going to be the adult in the room that would rein in trump but that was just so much bullshit. With his nasty, lying press conference yesterday, he has shown that he is no different than trump…going out there with the pure intent of smearing Congresswoman Wilson, who was in the car when the idiot trump said “he knew what he signed up for” to the widow of a soldier killed a month ago in Africa. His smear included that he was “shocked” that she listened to the phone call…but the one thing that Kelly purposely ignores in his smear campaign is that they were in a car heading to the airport to pick up the slain soldiers body and the phone was on speaker….what was Congresswoman Wilson supposed to do? Put her fingers in her ears and go la, la, la so she wouldn’t hear it? This entire debacle was caused by trump starting the lying when he said he never said “he knew what he signed up for” when there were at least 4 people in the car that heard him….but it was the ugly, poisoned trump administration and it’s attack dog Kelley that made it so much worse….these people are not fit to even live in the US let alone run it….just damn resign already…all of you…impeach…
