Well…it has been a strange day so far and I can’t shake the feeling that it is Friday…and I can’t shake the feeling that we are only inches from the idiot boy trump doing his final meltdown….that was really, really evident today with his call in to his propaganda channel, fox news, and the consensus of people who have seen it is that he is “unhinged”….and even the folks on fox cut him off when they understood that he was getting into shaky legal territory with his meandering rant. That was confirmed when the US attorney that is working on the Cohen case filed a motion less than two hours later saying that since idiot boy said that Cohen only did a “tiny, tiny little fraction” of trump’s legal work, they should expedite the review of documents seized in the raid of Cohen’s home and offices…and that the documents are not likely to be protected by attorney-client privilege. That wasn’t the only thing the moron in chief said…he also confirmed he lied when he said he knew nothing about the Stormy Daniels hush money by saying that Cohen represented him when dealing with Daniels. I can see Daniel’s attorney just grinning since the idiot boy just can’t keep his mouth shut….I say keep it up, moron, prison is getting ever closer….impeach…

Mulvaney runs on bribes…
Well….I probably shouldn’t be surprised that another repub just stood up and said that he won’t listen to anyone unless they give him cash…but damn, to come out and admit you have committed crimes throughout your political career seems to be a wee bit too much. That’s exactly what Mick Mulvaney did yesterday when he stood up in front of 1200 bankers and said this: “if you’re a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you’re a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.” So, Mulvaney is telling lobbyists or anyone else that wants to talk to him to pay him a bribe first or no dice….and this tells us all that he doesn’t give a damn about the people he works for, you and me, but just people who will line his pockets but doesn’t stop there…he also tells the bankers that they need to pay other repubs, too, and thinks it is “a fundamental underpinning of representative democracy” to pay-to-play and only people with money should have any say in the government. You know how I feel about this sickening revelation of how the repubs think…and, we can end this crap of government for the rich if we just vote in November….impeach…
I know you miss the politics…
Well…as you take a look at past issues here, this place has always been slanted toward politics since it has been something that I have been interested all my life…at least since the 1960 election which is the first one I remember. But, lately, the bad news has come so fast and hard that it is sometimes overwhelming to ingest it all…and that is one of the reasons that the political commentary has been a little sparse lately….I haven’t been feeling that I am adding to the conversation and that is a little troubling….maybe if I stay away from the idiot trump things will get better? Oh, there is one thing I did want to comment on that was in the news today about Scott Pruitt and the damage he is doing to to this country…and the latest outrage is that he is only going to use industry financed “science” for rulemaking…like oil industry research to write regulations considering pollution regulation…you get the drift…just like the tobacco industry research that continually said that smoking is good for you and was instrumental in delaying anything being done about the epidemic of lung cancer and heart disease that is still caused by smoking. So now industry shills will be writing regulations that, until now, used real science and had the goals of cleaning up the environment…remember the days of smog that used to choke this country…because they are coming back again….geez….
This makes me smile….
Well…after I just stopped laughing, I thought I’d do a shorty on the idiot trump’s non-invitation to Barbara Bush’s funeral….can you imagine how terrible a person has to be to have the Bushs not want them around? I can’t remember when a sitting president was pointedly not invited to what is essentially a state funeral…and I’m an old guy…but, it happened here…and in no uncertain terms, too, basically saying stay the hell away from us….and idiot boy tried to spin it into “I didn’t want to go anyway” saying that him being there would have been a “distraction” and his secret service protection would have been in the way…yeah, that’s a lie, too, since the Obamas, the Clintons and even Melania was there along with the Bushs who still get SS protection, too….all I know is that having the moron in chief snubbed like this makes me smile…a lot….impeach…
3 dollar a gallon gas is back..thanks, trump…
Well…I think I got lucky this morning when I decided to fill up the car at $2.69 a gallon and then noticed, when I was out on the bike, that the price has shot up to $2.95 a gallon…and since the repubs always blamed Obama for any price increases, I will do the same with the idiot trump…thanks, trump. Hey, trump voters, where’s your tax cut now? Just this price rise is over double what the tax cut was for most people…and when you couple it with the cost increases for health care that is entirely the doing of the repubs, you have been taken for the saps that you are. This doesn’t even factor in the nonsense on tariffs on Chinese steel that the Chinese have just responded to by raising tariffs on our crops by up to 156% which will put a bunch of farmers out of business this year. This is what you get when you put a moron in charge of economic policy who has no frickin clue what he is doing…cripes, he has no clue about anything…trump is just one of the most stupid people I have ever seen…and we are all paying the price for that stupidity…impeach…
Takin’ it to the streets…
Well…there seems to be something stirring out in the country where we have chiefs of police telling their officers to make sure they have their riot gear handy since there is some “intel” that Bob Mueller is going to be fired soon. As I’ve already said, the criminal in chief is going to put the final nails in the coffin of the repub party if he does it….and the protests across this country are going to be something that has never been seen if the repubs in congress let him get away with it…but, with the idiot McConnell announcing to trump yesterday that the bi-partisan bill to prevent Mueller’s firing “will never get to the floor”, he has given him the green light to do it without any consequences…and this will make McConnell the person who has done the most damage to our institutions and country than any other person but trump….we need to get ready to join the protests to shut this country down until trump is held accountable for his crimes…and then we need to vote every damn one of the repubs out of office in November…the country depends on it….impeach…
It’s quiet…too quiet…
Well…have been reading the news all morning trying to come up a topic but the news has been pretty quiet today…maybe a little too quiet given the unending scandals coming out to the idiot trump’s administration. You may have heard of this one, though, that Scott Pruitt didn’t think the government vehicle that he was issued was quite good or safe enough so he got them to issue him a fully bulletproof one…and that even included bulletproof seat covers…through his whole tenure, Pruitt has spent money hand over fist….more than the past three administrations combined and the question came to me..”what changed?”…what was the reason this moron feels so threatened? I wonder if it could be the fact the EPA is now being run for the companies that it is supposed to regulate and that these companies are writing new regulations that will kill thousands of people a year with the increased pollution? Or is it just that these thieves are the typical chickenshit repubs who are scared of their own shadows and there is no reason for the increased security other than it makes them feel important? No other EPA administrator has needed a 20 person security detail or a bulletproof vehicle….and this idiot doesn’t either…geez….
I think we have PTSD….
Well….this is just going to be a shorty on a thought that just popped into my head….I think the 62% of us that just hate the idiot in the WH and all of the scandals and crimes of the trump crime family have PTSD. The quick description of PTSD is a mental condition that results in a series of of emotional and physical reactions in those who have either witnessed or experienced a traumatic event….now I don’t mean to minimize the PTSD that our soldiers have brought back from war…but, to me, the idiot trump’s election was just that sort of an event….
Is there another reason?
Well….with the photo of Michael Cohen hanging out with his cronies taken on Friday, my initial thoughts was that he is just an idiot for doing it…but, is there another reason for the photo? Now, once one of the guys in the picture was identified as a Russian with close ties to Putin, I think the reason for the photo was a message to the idiot trump and anyone else who is under investigation for conspiring with the Russians that they can get to them anywhere and they need to be very careful. When you see the video of the “meeting”, at the very end the Russian goes up to Cohen and whispers something into his ear and Cohen’s face goes even more blank that it normally is…I think that means he just realized that he is screwed no matter what happens…he is either going to prison for many years or he will meet the fate of the Russian journalist that was reporting on Syria and “accidentally” fall off his balcony to his death….that is the Russian’s MO , after all….impeach…
Cohen’s friends….
Well…I guess it can be said that morons hang around with morons if you look at the picture of Michael Cohen and some of his cronies sitting around smoking cigars at some hotel in NY Friday….these morons know that Cohen has been under investigation for months now for his shady business dealings and yet, there they are, sitting out in public just daring the FBI to find out who they are and then investigate them, too. Now, if someone I knew was under FBI scrutiny, the last thing I would do would be pallin’ around with him, or taking his phone calls…and the thought comes to me that his biggest buddy, the idiot trump should really be worried since I’m sure there have been wiretaps involved and he just can’t shut his big trap. Here’s the kicker….even before the raid on Cohen, the FBI had enough evidence to convince a judge that Cohen was committing or had committed crimes….and, I think this really spells the end for the idiot in chief no matter what he does…after all, he can’t fire the entire justice department and even if they can’t indict him when in office, the charges will be waiting for him when he is finally thrown out…he IS going to jail….impeach…
