Well….it there was any doubt that the idiot trump was a fascist, that was put to rest when when his justice department arrested and charged people who were protesting him with multiple felonies. Yeah, you heard that right…in the huge protest against trump and everything he stands for, hundreds of people were arrested for exercising their first amendment rights just because it hurt the little man’s fee fees…and the reason they used was that there was some property damage along the parade route done by someone so everyone who was at the protest was guilty, including journalists who were covering it. This nonsense was put to rest today when a jury came back with a not guilty verdict on all charges for the first 6 people charged…but my question is how could this trial even start when courts have ruled many times in the past that protesting is protected speech? This is just another instance where the idiot trump and his minions are seeking to destroy the constitution since it’s protections are inconvenient to their goal of making the US into Russia where dissent is met with jail time, murder, or worse. Trump needs to go now…impeach….

One vote….
Well….not sure if you have been following the special elections that have been going on across the country that the dems have been overperforming in, but that is not what this is about…it is a good thing that we have been crushing it…especially in Virginia where we have flipped the legislature there from a 65-35 repub majority to a 50-50 tied one…but, the stunning thing I wanted to highlight here is that every frickin vote counts…that when we vote, we win…and that was shown yesterday when a dem won her recount by one vote! That’s right…one vote took the majority away from the repubs and split the legislature down the middle….and this, along with the pickup in Wisconsin from another progressive woman, shows how important it is for all of us to make sure we vote every time…and vote for our great progressive candidates who will put the people first…not the rich or corporations…it will be a long slog but we CAN make the repubs pay for this abomination of a tax fraud that throws 13 million people off their health insurance in the next year…people are going to die to give the country to the rich and we can fight back…but, we all need to vote…get out there and do it….
This is their defense?
Well…the atrocious tax bill that the repubs are jamming through congress without any hearings or even reading it is being defended in a really strange way…not really strange but revealing….repub senators know this bill that gives 83% of the tax benefits to the 1% is a piece of crap but their defense is that future congresses will repeal it….yeah, these idiots are so cynical and hungry for any kind of legislative win that they are justifying it and saying “hey, don’t worry about it, legislators in the future will clean up our mess”…..and guess who those legislators will be? Yep, it’s always the repubs screwing things up and it’s always the dems that have to come along and fix it…and the repubs really don’t care how bad they are screwing people…the end game for most of these repub idiots who will be voted out of office next year is to take care of their donors so they can then become lobbyists being paid 7 figure salaries by the same people they are handing the country to. How much longer will you idiots who vote for repubs take this crap? No tax cut and losing your health insurance….just frickin brilliant on your part…
Now we know why….
Well….haven’t seen a lot about this on the news so I thought I’d talk about the reason none of the repubs are holding the idiot responsible for his destruction of our democracy….they know they are in it, too…in a long article in Newsweek yesterday, it was described how deeply Russian money has infiltrated the repub party…with Mitch McConnell’s PAC getting more than a million dollars from Russian billionaires that was laundered through American citizens to circumvent the ban on foreign money in our elections. And, this goes to one of the reasons that Paul Ryan is thinking about not running for re-election…he got money from the Russians that was then distributed to many, many other repubs for their campaigns. While not technically illegal since the money was run through Americans, it still came from Putin and his cronies and, while the ignorant idiots that vote for repubs won’t care, the rest of us do and they will be held responsible as the traitors they are…..impeach…
Taking it to the streets…
Well…with the criminal in the White House edging ever closer to obstructing justice even more than he already has by trying to get the justice department to fire Mueller, and with the repubs in congress ignoring their responsibilities by aiding and abetting this attack, we move on to the next phase for us as concerned citizens…and that is to take it to streets in massive protests that will shut this country down until the criminal is removed. Now, it has been many, many years since I have taken part in active protests…the last one when I was in high school and walked out to protest the Vietnam war and the lies we were being told on a daily basis…and I am no longer young, but I will be joining them next Friday when the idiot trump is going to try to subvert the rule of law by firing Mueller….and this will just be the beginning, next year we need to vote every damn repub out of office since they have shown that they don’t believe in democracy anymore….with their voter suppression, their payoffs to the 1%, and their constant lies, the cancer on this country that is the repub party needs to be cut out and I am going to do my part….I have my warm clothes out and I will be on the front lines come Friday…and every person who cares about this country should join me…it’s almost too late….impeach….
This is huge and no one noticed….
Well…with all of the election coverage of our great win in Alabama, a huge occurrence happened here in Michigan an no one really noticed. Just this week, petition signatures were approved that puts non-partisan redistricting on the ballot for 2018….yep, you heard that right, this proposal would take the 2020 redistricting out of the hands of the repubs who have cheated through gerrymandering to maintain their strangle hold on Michigan politics even though they have gotten many less votes…and now, that is going away if we can pass this citizen fueled effort on the ballot. One of the things that people must understand is the only reason that the repubs control the government is that they cheat…without the ability to cheat, they would be the minority party they deserve to be…and I don’t mind that this same gerrymandering would be prevented when the dems take control in the future…why wouldn’t anyone with ethics and honor want our elections to be fair? With the court cases across the country that are throwing out the repub drawn maps almost daily, and now with referendums that will force fairly drawn maps, we are finally turning the tide from the repub cheaters and taking back our democracy from the big money that props up these cheaters….it’s about damn time….
Yay for Alabama….
Well….as promised, I’m back with some comments on the senate election in Alabama that was held yesterday and the stunning upset that saw the dem, Doug Jones, defeat the child molester, Roy Moore. One of the problems I saw from this race was that there was almost no policy discussions during the campaign, but just the standard, cliched, demonization of Jones when the repubs tried to paint him as a tax and spend liberal…even trying to use Nancy Pelosi as the boogyman to scare voters into voting for Moore. But, none of that could overcome the fact that Moore is probably the worst candidate they could have run…being tossed out of the Alabama supreme court twice for misconduct and for his statements that being gay should be against the law among all the other bigoted crap that came out of his mouth. I think the fact that the idiot trump supported Moore also weighed in the loss and gives me hope that trump will be the anchor the sinks the repubs next year. So, let’s bask in the win for just a little while but then get back to work building a truly diverse coalition that will win us the house and possibly the senate next year…congrats Doug!
The repubs own Roy Moore…
Well…with the probable election of Roy Moore to the senate from Alabama, the repub party has now become the party of lawbreakers, pedophiles, and liars…yeah, I know, no big revelation there…they have been that way since the era of Newt Gingrich. Now the next question to be asked is “who are the people who would elect an accused child molester?” Now, I don’t want to tar all of the people of Alabama with being racist idiots, but the polls show that many of them are…and the evangelicals are the worst….with 70% of them thinking that whatever Roy Moore might have done, and that includes getting thrown off the Alabama supreme court twice for breaking the law, he is still better than the much more qualified dem running…I guess they would vote for a murderer if he would just spout that he has religion even though, like the idiot trump, he doesn’t live it. I have tried to not tar a group of people with a broad brush over the past few years, but the people of Alabama have proven to the country that they are the racist, misogynist, idiots that they appear to any rational observer….they have the chance to blow that stereotype up by voting for Doug Jones tomorrow..but they won’t…geez….
As I said…petty….
Well….as you know, I very seldom come back for second ones on the weekend since most of you read this stuff at work…but, with the one I did on the idiot trump’s pettiness the other day, and reading more about that today, I just had to come back for a short one. Over the past couple of days, it has been revealed just how petty the idiot can be when he asked Ronna Romney McDaniel to stop using Romney in her name since he is in a feud with Mitt Romney…yep the daughter of George Romney has been asked to stop using her name since it hurts the idiot’s fee fees…..never in my life have I seen such a petty, small man and the worst part is that she did it…that is the cult of trump on full display…she should have told him to go to hell….impeach…
Trump is so damn petty….
Well…if you needed any more evidence that the idiot trump is a petty, small man, you just have to look at the Hanukkah celebration that was held in the WH this week. None of the dem members of congress were invited, and neither were anyone from the progressive Jewish community…which means he held a Hanukkah celebration without any Jews…and only about 300 people showed up compared to 1700 who attended when Obama was president. I’m not sure if the turnout was from people not showing up or that the idiot didn’t think enough of Jewish citizens to even make any effort. This is the first time in history that this ceremony was used for petty, partisan payback but what does anyone expect from this petty, small man? Impeach….
