Well…isn’t anyone in the WH going to do something about the idiot trump’s worsening dementia? Over the past few days, his decline has been on full display as he has started to imagine things that never happened and has presented them to the world as true…first, he completely made up that someone, somewhere in the US is building a new billion dollar steel plant because of his tariffs…the only problem is that not one reporter or fact checker or anyone else could find it…you would think that if someone was going to build a billion dollar anything, it should be pretty easy to find the permits or the orders for steel or concrete that would be needed…nope, nothing…just another delusion from someone suffering from progressive dementia. The second instance was his assertion that the gang MS-13 had taken over towns on Long Island and that he had “watched” I.C.E. go into the towns and “liberate” them from gang control….this never happened, either, and when sheriffs from many towns on Long Island were contacted to ask about these gangs, many of them scoffed…calling them “baby bandits” since the members of MS-13 are usually in their early teens and they don’t see them as much of a threat. So, now we have a “president” who is more and more living in a fantasy world of “easy” trade wars, imaginary steel plants, and gang action that never took place…when are you going to do something about him, repubs? Yeah, I know, you won’t do a damn thing until the US is in a smoking heap…impeach…

A little good news…
Well…on a day where the stolen supreme court seat gave the repubs just what they stole it for, to gut unions across this country, there was a little good news hiding in the primary elections that were held yesterday. In every state, the dems got their turnout up by from 120-160% as compared to the repubs whose turnout was up by 30-40%. With the fact that there is more of us than them, this type of turnout, if translated to the November election, starts to telegraph that there may be something big going on…and we may even be able to take back the senate…and it that happens, there will not be another SC justice approved during idiot boy’s term…using the McConnell rule that the seat kept open until there is a dem president. There is a an enthusiasm gap and I hope we can keep it up until November…impeach…
A big deal in Michigan…
Well…not sure if any of you have heard of this since it has flown under the radar here in Michigan…there has been a ballot proposal approved for this November that takes redistricting out of the hands of politicians and puts it into the hands of an independent commission to get rid of the awful gerrymandering the repubs have done to deprive people of the vote. In every election since the repubs started to cheat and drew districts to favor them, there have been more dem votes than repub but the repubs control the entire goverment here and that is just wrong…and, we all know that they can’t win any elections without cheating since demographics are a tidal wave coming at them with the young and minority voters overwhelmingly going for the dems. This proposal would create a commission of 4 dems, 4 repubs, and 5 independents that would draw new lines in 2020 and that has the repubs sweating bullets, and, with yesterday’s SC decision that racially motivated gerrymandering is just peachy with them, the only recourse to ensure a fair vote is to take redistricting out of the hands of repubs and put it back in the hands of the people. When this happened in California, the new, fairly drawn districts took control of the state out of the hands of the minority repubs and gave it to voters which resulted in the dems having a super majority….and that can happen here, too, and we can get control of our state back from the trump loving assholes who run it now….geez…
Stupid, stupid trump…
Well…how’s that trade war working out for you now, trump voters? It was announced this morning that Harley Davidson is moving half of it’s production to the EU to avoid the tariffs that were put in place by the EU in response to the idiot trumps tariffs on them. There goes another 1500 jobs from Wisconsin and puts Harley on a path to stop producing in the US altogether and it’s all because of trump. Trade wars are easy to win, huh? trump and his cronies must be the dumbest people on the planet since they didn’t think through any of the effects that his stupid tariffs would have on the US…he is just dumb enough to think that he is punishing other countries with his tariffs when all they have done is cost jobs here and raise prices on everyone in this country…did you get a tax cut from the scam tax bill? That’s all gone and more with the price increases that are coming in a couple of months…how do you like all that winning, trump voters? Impeach….
Okay…I’m all over the map on this…
Well….if you read the previous on on Sarah Huckabee Sanders and my feelings that we have to be better than the thugs and racists that a running this country right now, and we do, but if the institutions that are supposed to make sure this country survives won’t do their jobs (I’m talking to you congress) then we the people have to do something, then we have to make the criminals and liars understand that what they are doing is unacceptable and expose their crimes to everyone….and part of that is to register the disgust we feel with all of the enablers of the thug in chief…to make sure that their behavior is not further normalized…that the lies are not normalized, that their destruction of the norms of the US is not further normalized…I can understand why the restaurant owner did what she did….that she just couldn’t bear what Sanders is helping to do to this country and did her little part to strike back…after all, this is what used to happen in this country when the leaders had a sense of shame and people called them out on their bad behavior…but that was sacrificed to the repubs lack of any morality or integrity so I guess we have to do something individually to try to protect this country…it’s all part of the resistance that many of us try to do every day…maybe we do have to bring a gun to a gunfight…and then try to fix it when we win….
Some light at the end of the tunnel?
Well…just a short little one about a snippet that I just read on Kos…last night, at a fundraiser at his home, the ranking dem member of the Senate Intelligence committee, Mark Warner, made this comment that was overheard by a reporter there: “If you get me one more glass of wine, I’ll tell you stuff that only Bob Mueller and I know. If you think you’ve seen wild stuff so far, buckle up. It’s going to be a wild couple of months.” Now, I think this may dovetail with the news from earlier in the week that Mueller may be winding down the investigative part of the case, and his adding 4 new prosecutors might be a second signal that the cases against trump and his cronies, and the Russians is entering the criminal prosecution phase. So, there may be hope after all, and with it rumored that Mueller is going to release the preliminary report in late August, it just MAY be a wild couple of months…impeach…
I’m a little torn about this…
Well…I’m sure you’ve read by now that Sarah Huckabee Sanders and her family were turned away from a restaurant in Virginia late last week as a matter of conscience by the owner, and my first reaction to that was that it served her right for being the vicious, racist liar that she is, but on second thought those of us on the left are supposed to be better than that…I realize the damage that Sanders and trump and their cronies are doing to this country but if we keep this up, we are no better than they are….and by any objective measure we are…we care about people, we care about everyone in this country, not just the rich or people who voted for us…we care about women and their continued struggle for equality and to control their own bodies…we care about fairness and good schools and equality for all of the people in this country…we care about the rule of law and revere our constitution and the right to vote. All of us are immigrants or have them in our backgrounds and we on the left understand that it is our duty to help others when they need it and to keep families that need our help together….and that brings me to the golden rule…probably the one thing that informs my moral underpinnings..”do unto others as you would have them do to you” …kicking even bad people out of a restaurant for their political views and actions is not who we are and it certainly doesn’t meet the golden rule…we need to be better…
More jobs lost to trump’s tariffs…
Well…as every damn economist predicted, jobs are being lost because of trump’s idiotic tariffs….not bringing good paying jobs back to the US as the idiot claimed, but jobs in trump voting areas are going bye bye. The latest casualty is a company called Mid Continent…the second largest nail manufacturer in the US based in Poplar Bluff Missouri, who has had to raise their prices by 19% with the 25% tariff on the steel wire that they have to import since no one makes it here in the US anymore…and, with nails being a commodity product that is extremely price sensitive, a 19% increase just can’t be done if you expect to sell anything. I’ll bet many of the people who are losing their jobs at Mid Continent voted for the “great businessman” trump and believed his lies that he would protect American workers and jobs…how does that feel now, trump voters? More than half of the jobs in Poplar Bluff are at Mid Continent and when it closes around Labor Day, the waves will swamp many other companies that depend on the paychecks of these workers to keep their businesses afloat…I hate to see anyone lose their job but maybe these idiots will stop supporting the idiot in chief when they realize that he is a fraud who doesn’t give a damn about them….impeach…
Sometimes I make a mistake….
Well…as you can see, took down my last post since it came to light that someone had posted from a parody account that had been picked up by news organizations as real…so, sometimes I make a mistake but I’ll always come back to fix it if I discover the facts. But, I still stand by my idea that separating children from their parents is against international law and treaties that the US has signed and trump and his cronies have opened themselves up to prosecution in the international criminal court in the Hague…..so that’s still true….more later….
Evil, evil bastards…
Well…don’t believe a damn word trump and the bastards who are kidnapping children say about this new EO that supposedly is going to keep families together…it was all for show since separating them was just a policy that could have been changed with a phone call…but, idiot boy just had to put on a show about how “nice” they are by keeping families together. What about the families that have already been terrorized by separation? Nothing is going to be done to get these kids back with their parents, according to DHS…they don’t even have any records of the names of the families or the kids..and that’s because these racist pricks don’t even think of these kids as people at all…just a way for their cronies to make money and for them to look “tough”…but this isn’t “tough” it is just the kind of sadistic crap that these people live for…bullies act the same way when they torture their victims…and these assholes are nothing more than playground bullies…getting their jollies out of hurting “brown” people…ever see any white kids in any of these trump child concentration camps? Nope, didn’t think so…impeach…
