Dead man walking…

Well…one of the things that happen when I get up too damn early is that I have time to fill before I can get on the weight machine and not wake up the neighbors…and I just needed to comment on the fact that William Barr was shown to be a huge liar last night on every news show…last night, it was revealed that Mueller sent Barr a scathing letter on March 27th saying that he misrepresented the findings that Mueller put in the report and in no way shape or form did he say what Barr said he did in his “summaries” or in his lie filled  press conference. Mueller then followed the letter up with a 20 minute phone call to Barr to discuss what was in the letter…and that is  a  huge problem for Barr since he went in front of congress on April 10th and lied his ass off that he didn’t know what Mueller thought about Barr’s shenanigans with the releasing of the report and his misrepresentations of what Mueller’s conclusions were. This is a clear case of obstruction of justice and perjury by Barr and the calls for his resignation are coming more and more as time goes on…I guess my question is: don’t any of these morons know that they would be found to be lying? That there is tape of them testifying and it can’t be explained away by bullshit and bluster? This makes Barr a dead man walking and impeachment proceedings should be started if he doesn’t resign today…impeach…

Now we’ll see how corrupt the Justice Department has become…

Well…with the blatant, open corruption that is being led by William Barr at the Justice Department on a daily basis, we now are going to have the chance to see just how corrupt it has become…just this morning, Adam Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence committee, said he plans to make a criminal referral to the DOJ about Erik Prince’s testimony to the committee since the evidence shows that Prince lied to the committee about his meeting with the Russians in the Seychelle Islands…saying that the meeting with a Russian banker was just a “chance encounter” but Mueller evidence shows that there was preparation for the meeting with a set agenda that dealt with “improving” US and Russian relations. So, just another idiot in the trump orbit trying to work with the Russians and then lying about it to congress but with the new twist that trump now has his personal “fixer” in Barr who will find many, many bogus reasons to not bring these clear charges of perjury…and by this action, the Justice department loses a little more credibility that the dems will have to step in and fix when trump and his minions are gone…impeach…

Is there no integrity anymore?

Well…I sure hope you’re laughing at that title because you know, when we talk about anyone in trump’s orbit, there never was any integrity about anything…and you just have to look at Rod Rosenstein and William Barr to emphasize that. We all know what a shill for the idiot trump Barr is…but, just this past weekend, in a speech he gave and in some reporting, Rosenstein was revealed to be just as much in the tank for trump…regularly giving him updates on the investigation into him in direct contravention of DOJ rules and, more than that, against any bit of personal integrity that Rosenstein should have shown given the supposed independence of the DOJ. Ole rod was shown to be the worm that he is when he did all of this in fear of losing his job…yep, he helped destroy the DOJ and the US just so he could protect his pension and fawned all over trump just for that purpose, telling him he was on trump’s “team” and could “land the plane” of the Mueller report so it would not hurt trump. I know I’ve used this analogy before, but it is still pertinent to these behaviors by Barr and Rosenstein…now, when John Gotti was under investigation, would it have been proper for the FBI or the DOJ to give him “updates” on how the investigation of him was going? Yeah, we all know the answer to that one…no, no NO! Rosenstein has now cemented his place in American history as the worst deputy AG that has ever been in the DOJ and I really hope that the media will keep pounding this until he ends up an ambulance chaser in Podunk…that’s all he deserves…impeach…

Yow, Kansas!

Well…not sure if you noticed, but the supreme court of Kansas just stunned me and almost everybody else when they ruled that their state constitution protects bodily autonomy..and that means the absolute right of a woman to control her body and terminate her pregnancy. The cool thing about this ruling is that the determined that there are “inalienable rights” that are immune from government intrusion and that self determination and control of ones body is one of those rights…but the ruling didn’t stop there…it determined that all individuals are free to excise personal autonomy and are free to make choices about how to conduct their own lives. One of the parts of this ruling that I find most heartening is that it is not reviewable by the US supreme court and the right wing ideologues who have been installed there by McConnell…so this ruling affirming personal rights can’t be reversed by the legislature, either…so the repub assholes who live for taking away women’s rights to control their own bodies made a huge miscalculation by trying to make them second class citizens in Kansas and the court slapped them down….now, let’s hope that this ruling will be a challenge to the rest of us to do what we can to protect the rights of our sisters, daughters and friends…and of all women by voting the repubs out in 2020…

No collusion, no obstruction? Yeah, right…

Well…I wonder if the idiots trump and Barr think that no one in this country can read….after Barr’s lying press conference that attempted to clear trump of all charges of obstruction of justice and collusion with the Russians, idiot boy has been bleating all over the place that the report has “cleared” him and that he did nothing wrong…and the dutiful propaganda machine of fox news has been amplifying it for the mouth breathing crowd that follows them…one little problem…we can read and the Mueller report does NOT exonerate trump and his cronies…in fact, it lays out clearly that the trump campaign DID collude with the Russians many, many times but, as Mueller pointed out, the lying of everyone in the campaign and the use of encryption and just general stonewalling of Mueller is the reason why he didn’t recommend charging anyone with conspiracy with the Russians…he just didn’t have enough evidence to prevail in court. On the obstruction side, Mueller documented at least 10 times where trump attempted to obstruct justice and the only reason he wasn’t charged is that DOJ rules won’t allow it. Since the report was released a week ago…many, many former prosecutors have made it clear that if they had the evidence just from the report, they could easily get a conviction for obstruction…a fact that no repub will even acknowledge as they call for the country to “move on” from the Muller report findings. the only way to save this country is for the dems to ignore these calls and do their job to remove this unqualified ass…and then we need to make the repubs pay for their toadying support of this criminal….impeach…

Almost forgot…

Well…it’s been a busy day today and I almost forgot to come back here for another one…but, I did want to touch on one little item that I saw in the news yesterday but just didn’t have time to get to…even with all of the idiot in chief’s bluster and bullshit that he will never turn over any records of his finances to the House, he really is going to have to at some point…and I saw an article or a news show, I can’t remember which, that this type of behavior is always his pattern…he comes out and says that there is no way he will cooperate and then caves or the laws catch up and he is forced to cooperate….so, the little item….just yesterday, it was reported that Deutsche Bank has started to provide all of their records on trump and his businesses to the AG of NY who is investigating the funding for many trump projects due to the testimony of Michael Cohen and the records he provided…and this dovetails nicely with the investigations by the House financial services committee and the Intelligence committees who are also looking at money laundering through these projects….so, the bars are closing in on the idiot and his family who continue to bleat that Mueller exonerated trump in his report…once the SDNY and the NY AG get done with him, trump is going to jail….and I hope soon because the NY AG is not constrained by the Justice department’s rules that a sitting president can’t be indicted….impeach…

Again…this is not how it works..

Well…another day, another jaw dropping bit of stupidity by the moron in chief when he opened his mouth and farted this out…that if the dems in the House impeach him, he will go to the supreme court to stop it…and he believes his toadies that were installed there illegally by Mitch McConnell will tell the house that they can’t do it…and one of his reasons is that he already survived the Mueller investigation and that the House has no authority to investigate since he was already investigated. Yeah, the logic of a 7 year old being spouted by the so-called president…damn, do I have to keep pointing out how ignorant this ass is? That is not how any of this works…in precedent that runs almost all the way back to the founding of the country…every damn court including the supreme court has ruled that the courts cannot interfere with the constitutionally mandated powers of investigation and impeachment of the co-equal legislative branch…so, even if stupid boy tries to go there, even Kavanaugh should rule that he has no standing to bring that kind of suit…unless he has had his daily 12 pack and then all bets are off. This is what happens when someone so glaringly ignorant is put in a position of power…he thinks he can make things up as he goes along and the law is what he wants it to be…and, even the repubs have to know they need to do something to stop this idiot from nuking the entire party…impeach….

None of it was “fake news”…

Well…after having a few days to digest what is in the still redacted Mueller report, one thing stands out that is not getting enough attention and that is the “fake news” that the idiot trump has railed against in his spittle flecked tweets is NOT fake…in fact the reporting from the NYT, the Washington Post, and every other news outlet has been shown to be accurate…that trump DID get help from the Russians whether or not they did it wittingly, and they DID meet with Russians throughout the campaign, and they DID pass information to the Russians for reasons that Giuliani says is just peachy. One little thing that trump and his minions won’t acknowledge is that the counter intelligence investigation is still ongoing with the FBI still looking at Russia’s role in the election and I’ll speculate that there are still more indictments coming from that side of the investigation…let’s remember that the counter intelligence information never made it into the Mueller report but all of the information that Mueller found was handed over to embedded FBI agents who are still working on it and other prosecutors can still bring charges from that information…something that was also reported and was not “fake news”. The reporters also got most of the details right on the obstruction of justice that trump engaged in almost daily and the Mueller report confirms that, too….but, that didn’t stop the moron in chief from rage tweeting this morning that the NYT owes him an “apology” for their reporting just like he lied and said they did before…which never happened. So, I’ll ask you guys…who do you trust….the news media that got damn near everything right about trump and his crimes or the serial liar that squats in the WH? With trump’s approval rating now dropping like a rock after Mueller, it appears that people are wising up to the Russian plant in the WH….now it’s time to get started on impeachment of this criminal…

Impeach trump already…

Well…with all of the hand wringing on the dems part about the political risks of impeaching the criminal in the WH, I think that they are missing the damn point…it is the House’s job to impeach idiot boy now that there is absolutely no doubt he’s a  criminal who has committed crimes while in office…house dems have no choice but to ignore those risks if they value this country more than the repubs do and get on with impeachment…we all know that the repubs in the senate won’t convict even though trump’s crimes are clear…but, that’s not the point…the point is that we need to protect this country from trump and we cannot ignore that he is still committing crimes every day and I think the dems are misreading the political winds…the idiot’s approval rating is down to 37% with almost 68% of the country believing that he committed crimes, and I think if the dems do a good job of explaining why they are doing what they are doing in relatable terms…such as “if someone robbed your house but he was a powerful mayor, for example, who no one is holding accountable for his crimes, how would you feel?” The ads against the repubs who voted to keep a criminal in office would write themselves…such as: “you follow the law, why doesn’t the president have to?” I really don’t care for the conventional wisdom that says dems have to be careful…bullshit…it’s time to start repairing the damage the repubs and trump have done to this country..and that starts with investigations and impeachment…

Still just damn exhausted…

Well…I am not sure what is going on but even after taking a nap this afternoon, I am still damn exhausted and I’m not sure at all why…oh, well…I really was going to do one on politics this afternoon but I am not motivated to do it…I think I’m in overload after the Mueller report and the 24/7 reporting on that….one little bit of detail that has come out is that Mueller ended his report after Barr was appointed since he knew that Barr was there to protect trump and he knew that no other prosecutions would be approved…and that was another reason why Mueller didn’t indict trump for obstruction of justice…with Barr now supervising, there would be no independence for the independent counsel, just Barr breaking his oath to protect the constitution and doing nothing but protecting trump. I am looking forward to Mueller coming in front of congress next month where he’ll get the chance to expose Barr’s interference in his work and make it clear once and for all that trump is a criminal who needs to go…impeach…oh, hey, I guess I did have a political one in me…yay…
