Bye, bye, Nikki…

Well…another day, another one of the “best people” in the idiot trump’s administration resigns…just the other day, Nikki Haley, the ambassador to the UN decided to call it quits for some reason that the pundit class is spending way too much time trying to figure out…it’s actually quite simple…there are two things that spurred this decision in my opinion…one, there is now an ethics investigation into Haley for using donors private planes for government travel…as an aside, is there one damn person that trump has hired that isn’t under an ethics investigation? That’s an easy one…nope. Now number two…with the election coming in fast and the probability that the dems take at least the house, the grifter window is fast closing and Haley needs to grab some of that sweet, sweet wingnut welfare that failed members of trump’s “administration” are lapping up around her..before the investigations start that will fatally tarnish anyone who is still around after the election..and that dovetails nicely with the reporting that Haley is in debt of up to a million dollars and she really can’t pay that back on an ambassador’s salary…even with the government picking up her 47,000 dollar a month apartment rental in NYC. So, don’t believe a word when trump says that her reason for resigning is “private”…it’s clear as a bell to anyone who can think just a little bit…and it looks like I still can…yay! Impeach….

The idiot trump is killing Ford…

Well…I really do hate to gloat when people are losing their jobs, okay…maybe it’s not gloating but just pointing out how badly the idiot trump sucks when trade is involved…every economist in the world has said that trump’s tariffs are just the most stupid thing he could have done, and that they would cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and billions in corporate profits…and now those projections are coming true with the announcement from Ford that the tariffs have already cost them over a billion dollars in profit just in the 6 months since the tariffs were imposed, and today Ford announced that they are going to cut 24,000 jobs that are also a direct result of the tariffs…so now, how’s that MAGA bullshit working out for you Ford workers that voted for trump? This is just the first round of damage that has been done by trump and his idiot minions and it won’t be the last….Ford is warning that, unless the tariffs are rescinded, more and more cuts are going to happen that could imperil the company’s viability going forward…and if Ford fails, that’s over 350,000 jobs gone…350,000 good jobs that pay enough to live on…but that has been the repubs plan all along…they can’t have regular working people making enough money to live on…that means taking money away from the 1% and that is just not acceptable…impeach…

All out war…

Well…let’s get this straight right out front…I hate republicans…or the modern iteration of the win at all cost republicans who see no problem with destroying this country just to hang on to power a little longer as the demographic wave builds and we get ready to take back at least the house in a month and, fingers crossed, the senate, too. While we wait for that time, it is time to declare all out war on the repubs and states controlled by them….and this means boycotts of any companies that do business in states who take a way a women’s right to choose after Kavanaugh and his cronies strike down Roe…and any state that restricts voting rights to try to keep dems from voting and, with the economic power that blue states wield, that means no more conferences, travel, or even buying goods from red states…that also means that when we learn that executives at Facebook throw huge parties to celebrate Kavanaugh being installed on the SC, that Facebook and it’s advertisers are also targeted for boycotts…or just stop damn using it…it rots your brain anyway and is just a huge waste of time not to mention they can’t be trusted…and I am tired of the calls for “dialog” with the right in this country…no damn more…I don’t want to hear a damn thing from any of them and I will never, ever listen to any of those idiots again…I mean, how stupid do you have to be to vote for trump? Or, how much of a racist? This is all out war that we need to wage on every damn front…get out to vote, support voting rights and make daily decisions that stop supporting any company or person on the right…that’s it…they wanted a war? We’ll give them one….charge…

Just damn vote…

Well…with the destruction of our democracy that we witnessed over the past couple of weeks and the impending removal of the rights of anyone who is not white and straight and male, I just want to remind everyone here that we can start to repair this damage if we just damn vote…that’s it…it’s very simple, we outnumber the assholes on the right and it we just get off our lazy asses and vote, we will win…and we will see that terrible people like Susan Collins, who betrayed every woman in this country with her vote for Kavanaugh, will be gone in 2020…as will many other repubs who only listen to the money, not to the people who elected them…in Collins case, there has already been over 3 million dollars raised for her dem challenger in the past two days and that will explode into the tens of millions to make this hypocrite Collins go away…and that is just what she deserves for all of the lies she has told and her acceptance of Kavanaugh’s sexual assault just to keep what little personal power she will get from her vote….every damn one of the repubs need to go away and we can make that happen if we just damn vote…cripes…

Everyone opposes Kavanaugh…

Well…after reading the news over the past couple of days, it appears that everyone in this damn country opposes the attempted rapist Brett Kavanaugh being elevated to the supreme court…except for the 51 repubs in the senate. At last count, over 1700 law professors have signed letters saying that Kavanaugh shouldn’t be confirmed…and that is along with two retired supreme court justices and almost 70% of the people polled on the question…and almost two million people who have signed a petition opposing him…making him the candidate with the worst polling and support of any in the history of polling….and yet, the repubs keep pushing forward with this scam that is destroying what little faith the people have in the senate…making the SC illegitimate in the eyes of most of the people and will make Kavanaugh the first sitting justice to be charged with a felony…or multiple felonies of perjury and sexual assault after the dems take back the house and do a real investigation…not the sham that has been perpetrated on the US by McConnell, Hatch, and Grassley. Anyone with any character or honor would have withdrawn with all of the crimes that have been exposed, but in his speech to the senate and yesterday’s op ed in the WSJ, it can clearly be seen that honesty, honor, and duty are foreign concepts to Kavanaugh as they are to every damn repub in this country…and again, it falls to the dems to save this country and clean up the repubs mess as we always do when we get back in control….geez…

Now trump has ruined the FBI…

Well…in keeping with the fact that the idiot trump ruins everything he touches, he has just done that to the FBI with his interference in the investigation of the sexual assaulter, Brett Kavanaugh. It has been revealed today that the FBI was limited to interviewing only 9 people and the ones they did interview were dictated by the WH and the old white guys who are ramming Kavanaugh through the senate…think of that again…the FBI, which is supposed to be an independent investigating organization was told how to do it’s job by the criminal in the WH to protect the criminal they are installing on the SC….what is going to be next from these criminal conspirators? No more elections? Outlawing dems? At this point, nothing McConnell and his criminal cronies do would surprise me…they are ruining this country and stand there grinning about how clever they are for doing it…but, they will pay at the ballot box in November…

This whole damn government is a sham…

Well…I am sitting here trying not to let the destruction of our country get to me too much but some of it is bleeding through and it pisses me off…there is not one honest person on the right in this country and trump an his minions are destroying more and more of it every day and it should piss you off, too. The latest in trump’s ongoing effort to turn the US into a third world backwater has him taking personal charge of the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh and has put so many limits on it that they can’t even talk to Dr. Ford, who brought the allegations of attempted rape against Kavanaugh…oh, and they didn’t talk to Kavanaugh, either…or to any of the more than 20 witnesses that have come forward to corroborate Ford’s allegations…so who the hell are they talking to? Not to one damn person that could shed some light on how bad of a person Kavanaugh was and is…and how many times he has lied to move up the ladder in the courts….I am starting to think that even if we take back the house, there is too much damage already done for the US to survive it…and it is all the repubs fault…I have never seen such a cynical, amoral group of people in my long lifetime…and I just hate them….

Okay Jeff Flake, you’re up…

Well…with all of the posturing that is going on with the supposed “moderate” repubs on the Kavanaugh investigation, I rally have to revisit one comment that Jeff Flake made a few days ago when he said that if Kavanaugh lied to the senate, his nomination was over..well Jeffy, in his testimony just last week, Kavanaugh lied to your face about his knowledge of the Ramirez allegations, saying that he didn’t know anything about them until he saw it in the Sept 23rd article in the New Yorker…only one small problem with that…there are witnesses and text messages that show that Kavanaugh was involved in trying to cover up this assault all the way back in July…trying to get friends (and witnesses) to go on record saying that none of it happened…my question here for Flake, Murkowski, and Collins is: is witness tampering enough for you to vote no? Kavanaugh knew there was an active investigation happening and tried to get people to lie for him…and that is subornation of perjury and another in the long line of felonies that Kavanaugh has committed just in his confirmation hearings….and just yesterday, there was an ethics complaint lodged with the current court he sits on alleging that Kavanaugh lied in his confirmation hearings for every court he has been on…and in a delicious bit of irony, the person who is charge with investigating these claims is Merrick Garland…the eminently qualified judge who was not even given a hearing for his appointment to the SC since McConnell was not going to have a judge appointed by Obama…karma is a bitch, isn’t it, Brett?

Why can’t the repubs do the right thing one damn time?

Well….with the latest revelations that trump and his cronies in the WH are interfering in the FBI investigation of Brett Kavanaugh, I have just one question: why can’t the repubs do the right thing one damn time? Trying to put the fix in on this investigation is just the latest of the repubs always doing the wrong thing…on their tax cut scam that only benefited the rich, on their continuing attempts to gut Obamacare and throw 20 million people of their health insurance, to their continued attempts to take away women’s right to control their own bodies, to gutting environmental regulations that will kill more than 20,000 Americans each and every year, the repubs are on the wrong side of every issue that the polls show Americans care about and are doing their best to destroy this country before they lose in the November elections…and, if they ram Kavanaugh through to the SC, it will de-legitimize the court so that any decisions they make will be seen in the nakedly partisan lens they should be….and the efforts of the dems to impeach and remove Kavanaugh will be the first order when we take back the house and is necessary to restore faith in our government institutions that the repubs have done their best to destroy….I just hate these assholes…

We now know why Mitchell disappeared…

Well…if you watched the rotten, craven spectacle of Brett Kavanaugh’s “testimony” to the senate yesterday, I’m sure you came away with one clear fact, that Kavanaugh is not fit to sit on any court…his raging about conspiracy theories and the underlying elite privilege that he oozed while under “questioning” would be disqualifying in any other day or age…but not with a senate run by partisan hacks that are desperate to take every right away from women in this country…there is one little detail that has flown under the radar since yesterday that needs to be exposed. I’m sure you noticed that the outside prosecutor did not come back after a hastily called break in the proceedings…and the reason for that is being widely reported today and is so damn disturbing that I can’t fathom it…during his testimony, Kavanaugh committed another felony by lying to the senate and Mitchell was going to stop the proceedings and read Kavanaugh his rights as is her responsibility to her oath in Arizona…but, when she told Graham, Hatch, and the rest of the senators, they immediately started to cover up the fact that Kavanaugh had broken the law and made sure she wouldn’t ask another question….taking over for her and turning the rest of the hearing into a love fest for Kavanaugh even though he is an accused rapist that 5 women have now come forward to tell their stories about…and who are ignored as always by the repubs. After yesterday’s debacle, the ABA has withdrawn their recommendation that Kavanaugh be confirmed and called for a full FBI investigation into the allegations…but, the repubs plow on putting this unqualified, entitle little shit on the SC…one bit of good news is that the dems have already started to build the case for impeachment in their private talks with their caucus…we just need to take back the house and senate…and now, women and young people it is up to you…you MUST turn out to vote so we can get rid of the repubs for good…impeach…
