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…
Part of it is about the money…
Well…with the continuing outrage (at least from us on the left) about the repubs stealing children from asylum seekers and sending them to secret concentration camps across this country…oh, remember they are “trump concentration camps”…if that is not bad enough, it has come out what these private prison companies are charging for “caring for” these children that they are putting in wire cages…800 dollars a day…yep, for each child they are abusing, you and I are paying these thugs and trump cronies 800 dollars a day. For that money, you could put each child up in a four star hotel and provide them with their own personal nanny and doctor….I think this money is part of the reason for this policy in the first part…along with trump’s racism and hatred of anyone who isn’t white, these private prison companies give millions of dollars to repubs so they will enact policies that will allow them to steal 800 dollars from you and me…we can’t afford to fix our roads or schools, but we can afford to pay private prison companies 800 dollars a day per child…these are the modern repbs folks and they need to go, now! Impeach…
Trump’s concentration camps…
Well…I’m going to propose that whenever anyone talks about detention centers for immigrants, we rebrand them “trump’s concentration camps” to get at the real horror of them…and any administration that has to go to the media and say “we’re not Nazis” has to be pretty horrible. They might not BE Nazis, but they are doing exactly what the Nazis did to the Jews….when they got to the death camps, the children were immediately separated from their parents…and never saw them again…and let’s call this just what this human rights violation is: child abuse…plain and simple child abuse. Everyone in this administration better plan on never traveling outside of the country again…how they are treating these asylum seekers is against international treaties on human rights…and there are countries just itching to punish these assholes by arresting them and sending them to the Hague for trial….let that sink in for a minute…were any of Obama’s administration under threat from the Hague? Nope, didn’t think so…what a criminal operation…impeach…
Repubs are just evil…
Well…this is what our country has come to…one of our political parties has shown itself to be nothing but evil…as evidenced by the stealing of children from asylum seeking parents. Let’s get this straight…it is not against the law to seek asylum in the US…these people are NOT breaking the law by coming here…and the lawbreaking repubs are putting them in jail, holding some of them for years without a hearing in direct violation of the 4th amendment and the repubs in congress do nothing…they just let trump’s gestapo do whatever they want when they could stop these human rights abuses today….there are treaties we have signed with the UN that makes separating children from their asylum seeking parents a crime against humanity that can be prosecuted in the world court at the Hague…..I hope someone in a country not run by evil bastards will refer this to the court and then lock up Sessions or trump when they travel outside the country….evil, evil bastards….impeach…
Bye, bye Paulie…
Well….if you haven’t heard yet, a judge just revoked Paul Manafort’s bail, sending him to jail until his trial…and that means little Paulie is going to spend the rest of his life in jail after he is convicted of even a few of the 30 felonies he is charged with. The straw that did it was the fact that they caught little Paulie trying to get witnesses against him to lie, and that was specifically laid out in his bail agreement as a big no-no….I am a little tired of the talking heads out there saying all of this is just to put pressure on him to flip on trump….I don’t think that’s the case at all, he broke the frickin law and he is being held accountable for it…to think that there is nothing to the charges is to continue to swallow trump’s line that they are just trying to get to him and it’s all fake….and we had the predictable distancing from trump this morning when he said “he only worked for me for 45 days or something” and that was just another lie in a lie strewn gaggle at the WH this morning…just remember that Manafort was trump’s campaign chair for 6 months, not 45 days….I wonder if Obama’s campaign chair was ever arrested? Nope, and no one else in Obama’s admin was either…impeach…
The trumps get sued…
Well….finally, an attorney general has noticed that the slush fund that was the trump foundation was being run like a personal piggy bank for the trump family…and they are all being sued by the NY AG for it. This all came about because David Farentold of the Washington Post smelled something foul and dug into public records of the foundation to find self dealing and huge misuse of funds with trump buying all kinds of stuff for himself and his family…and the kids, who were all on the board so they could each suck up some of that sweet graft, didn’t do a damn thing about it when it is the boards job to make sure the law is followed. The kicker here is that, not only are they being sued, but the AG has referred the case to the IRS and the FEC to see if there were any laws broken there. So, I am laughing my butt off about this today….they are going to rue the day that their idiot father was installed as president by Putin….I really do think that the whole family will look great in orange jumpsuits….impeach…
Oh, and this one makes 6,300 of these I’ve done since this thing started…yow….
