Well…with the announcement of a 480 million dollar shortfall in tax revenues here in Michigan, all I can say sarcastically is surprise, surprise….I just wonder why tax cuts for the rich and business didn’t do what the repubs here had faith it would do…result in more revenue for the state. It isn’t as if they had any examples of the same tax cut nonsense not working in other states….oh, yes they do….look at any state where the repubs are in control and they used faith-based economics…like Arizona, Kansas, Louisiana or Texas where they used the fully discredited theories of Arthur Laffer and his supply side economic nonsense and the same damn thing happened…tax revenues fell drastically putting the budgets of all of those states in free fall so they have all had to decimate even basic services that people pay for….and now we see the same damn thing in Michigan and the repubs here are acting all surprised like there is just no way they could have forseen this happening. But, will they learn from this and rescind the tax cuts for business here that have led to no job creation for the 1.8 billion dollar giveaway to business? Of course not…the repubs are the anti science party after all and economics is a science….I just don’t understand why people keep voting for these idiots when they lay waste to every state they control….I’m shaking my head over that one…geez…

More Benghazi…
Well…how much is it going to take for the idiot Trey Gowdy to give up his witch hunt on Benghazi? After spending 20 million dollars of our money over the past two years, there is just nothing new that hasn’t been discovered in the previous 8 investigations and even the counsel to ole Trey’s committee said the other day that there was nothing that could have been done that wasn’t…that there was no secret plan to let the 4 Americans die for some reason and there was no culpability for Hillary in any of it. As we all know, this has been a staged witch hunt from the start to score political points and to try to keep Hillary from being elected….I think the repubs should reimburse the American people for the 20 million since they have admitted it’s partisan purpose….this from the party of limited government and torture….geez…
Trump and his taxes…
Well…I know I said I wasn’t going to write much more about ole Donald but I just read a little tidbit about his taxes that I just had to comment on…as you know…Donald is refusing to release his tax returns using every lie in the book to keep from doing it and there just might be a real reason for him not releasing them….in his NY state return, he took a tax credit that can only be used by someone making less than 500K a year…so, either he is lying about his huuuuge amount of money he supposedly makes, or he is committing tax fraud by taking this credit that he is not entitled to. One other reason could be that he has such good lawyers that he is not paying any taxes which would not look good, either, just making him another rich asshole who doesn’t pay his fair share….any one of the reasons should be enough to disqualify him from being president…but, the repub base just doesn’t care if he is a liar and tax cheat, he is still ‘the Donald” and I guess being a celebrity is all the qualifications you need on the right….geez…
Trump is just not too bright…
Well….was just reading some online news that confirmed what everyone should know…that ole Donald is just not too bright…and the piece of news? That Sarah Palin is on his short list for vice president….yep, the idiot half-term governor is considered to be qualified to be VP by Donald and that one piece of information should disqualify him from ever being considered for president…I am just shaking my head that ole sister Sarah, the two bit, bar fighting grifter would be considered qualified for anything…the debates would be interesting and a laugh riot but being VP is supposed to be serious business…this just shows how far the repubs have fallen….what a frickin joke…..geez….
Typical repub crap in NC…
Well…with the outcry by business for the repubs in NC to repeal the discriminatory HB2, the response today from the repub legislators there is just so damn typical…they won’t listen to their constituents or to the businesses that want the law gone but they will threaten businesses that are speaking out…who are exercising their first amendment right to speak out against the law with legislation that will retaliate against these business in any way they can…by rescinding tax breaks and any other means that they used to draw these businesses to their state….something that is blatantly illegal under the US constitution…but, as we have know for some time, no constitution means anything to them unless they can use it to hate and punish people they don’t like…if you had any question what the repubs are about, just look at the states they control…they operate like the thugs they are in every one of them…and NC is just the latest example….geez…
More Donald….
Well….have been looking for a political topic all day…I am just so tired of writing about the idiot Trump that I couldn’t bring myself to do another one today…okay….maybe just a little….one of the idiot’s comments over the past day or so, pandering to the hard right religious nuts, is that he will appoint at least 5 SC justices who will overturn Roe v. Wade and make abortion illegal here in the US. Now, there are so many ways that this is wrong…first, there is no way that 4 more justices are going to retire or die in the next 4 years…and, to overturn Roe, the court would have to ignore the precedent of Roe…not that that hasn’t happened under Roberts, just look at Citizens United, that overturned hundreds of years of precedent. But the second thing we have to look at is this complete banning of abortion is only supported by about 25% of the US and if ole Donald continues to press that it is what he will do with his SC picks, he is doomed by voters who think that is not the governments business to make health care decisions for women and take away their rights to control their own bodies. Okay…this one was not supposed to be about Donald…just got sucked into it…darn….
Holy whiplash, Batman….
Well…if you are going to pay any attention to Trump and this campaign, I think you’d better stock up on neck braces to keep the whiplash from him changing his mind from hurting too much. The latest two just point out that ole Donald is just making crap up as he goes along with not one care about consistency….or as the repubs are so fond of saying “uncertainty” and the Huuuge effect it has on markets and our allies. First, over the weekend, we had the Donald say that he would have to raise taxes on the rich to make his economic “plan” work…and not more than two hours later, on another show, he said the he would never raise taxes on the rich….and just yesterday he said that Ben Carson was going to be the person vetting his VP choices…but today, ole Donald’s campaign manager said that he would be the one vetting the picks….yep…surprise, surprise…the Donald is an inconsistent blow hard who just makes it up and tells people what they want to hear with absolutely no care that, in at least one of the instances, he is lying through his teeth…but, I guess in the modern repub party, that is the game plan…promise people one thing, and then go hard right once you are elected…worked for Snyder here in Michigan and Walker in Wisconsin….but it is supposed to be kept secret until after the election…something that Donald just can’t do…geez…
Trump doesn’t represent the repub party?
Well…now that old Donald has just about locked up the repub nomination…the spooked establishment repubs and many, many of the repubs up for election this fall are running away from him like crazy…even going so far as to not mention his name…just saying ‘the nominee” instead of Trump’s name. The meme of the whole thing is that “Trump and what he said in the primaries doesn’t represent the repub party” and that you should still vote for the rest of the repubs that are running….yeah…doesn’t represent the repub party when he won the nomination? And, the majority of the rank and file repubs voted for him? The repub party is exactly the misogynist, homophobic, “other” hating party that they appear…and they have been using this hate to win elections for the past 40 years…but now that the elites of the party can’t control the hate they have spawned and that’s how they got Trump…who threw away the dog whistles and shouted that hatred from every podium starting with his announcement speech. So now, we have the repub party laid bare to expose what they have been about all along…and the base has been released by Trump to openly spew the hatred that has always been just under the surface…you reap what you sow idiots….geez…
Bye, bye Teddy….
Well…I am reacting to the news that ole Ted Cruz has dropped out of the repub primary with just a little too much glee today…nope, there is not enough glee in the world to react properly to this much hated asshole dropping out of the race….I had gotten so tired of his theocracy based ideas on governance and his hatred of the LGBT community…hatred that led to his downfall in Indiana and put the final nail in this vampire’s coffin. All I have to say to this is good riddance…what kind of a person is proud that no one likes him, that his colleagues called him Lucifer and the most miserable son of a bitch in Congress? Bye, bye, Teddy…don’t let the door hit you in the ass on the way out…..or do…I just don’t give a damn….
Food fight on the right….
Well…I have been grinning all day today with the food fight that has broken out between the Donald and ole Ted Cruz over the past few days…or maybe just today…the whole thing started when the Donald quoted a less than believable story from the National Enquirer that placed Ted’s father with Oswald just before the JFK assassination…and then Donald just had to extrapolate that to mean the ole Ted’s father was partially responsible for the assassination….of course, that just was too much for ole Ted and he just blew and started talking about Donald’s venereal diseases and calling him a pathological liar, utterly amoral and the biggest narcissist ever…..adding that the country will be destroyed if Donald or Hillary get elected…now this is just another facet of what I wrote about the other day…how ole Ted just won’t be able to deal with losing…especially to the Donald and this is the manifestation of that….he is melting before our eyes and I am reveling in it…he is, after all, the worst person in the world…geez…
