Well…with the lying repubs lying again about their tax cuts for the rich and corporations; saying they will spur investment by the corporations and HUGE amounts of new jobs….well, to listen to the ceo’s. not so much….in a business forum the other day, Gary Cohn asked for a show of hands from the attendees who would be investing and adding jobs if their taxes are cut….didn’t turn out how he expected when only a few raised their hands…and this goes to how the tax cuts are ideological in nature…they have never worked to spur investment or create jobs….not from Reagan, not from Bush, not ever….all tax cuts for the rich ever do is make the rich richer…especially in this time when corporations have more retained cash on hand than ever in history….and would invest it if there was excess demand for their products…but, with how wages have stagnated even as prices rise, demand can’t rise without consumers taking on more and more debt…which they are reluctant to do….so, the ceo’s know what is going on…now, they need to tell the repubs that tax cuts are not needed….geez…

Trump supporters really are dumb…
Well…I know I’ve harped on this quite a bit since the idiot got elected, but, damn…they really are dumb and do really dumb things the end up in the news every day. The latest one made me laugh at first, then made me fear for the future of this country….last night, for a bit on Jimmy Kimmel’s show, which I never stay up late enough to see, they sent one of their producers out to ask trump voters if Hillary should be impeached…never mind that she is just a private citizen now and the people interviewed either didn’t realize this or they don’t know what impeachment is….every damn one of them, when asked said “yes” that Hillary should be impeached for e-mails, uranium, and all of the laws she has broken…never mind that she is the most investigated person in the history of the US and they never found one instance where she broke the law….they all KNEW she was guilty…I guess this is the result of the billions of dollars of smears and slanders from the right and fox news….and it is a pretty good indictment of the average trump voter…just a bunch of know-nothings…impeach….
Coal doesn’t fly in Europe…
Well…the climate change denier administration that we are currently saddled with ran up against reality in Europe the other day when booing and protesting shut down their presentation…or propaganda that coal was a “clean fuel” and everyone should use it. This coal nonsense won’t fly in the rest of the world where every country, except us, has signed the Paris climate accords and are at least doing something to try to keep the planet from frying. Why these idiots thought they would get a sympathetic hearing for dumping more and more CO2 into the skies escapes me…here in the US they have their own propaganda channel that denies that climate change is real, but in the rest of the world, fox news is known for the joke that it is….and now, with the cost of new solar/battery storage constantly falling, coal is not competitive anymore…and almost 1/2 of all coal plants even in the US have shut down in the past 10 years. I’m not sure why the idiot trump an his minions love coal so much…but, there is not a damn thing they can do to stop the downward spiral of coal…impeach…
Yes, Kellyanne is that stupid…
Well…the idiot trump’s propaganda minister, Kellyanne Conway, was on the Sunday shows yesterday, and showed once again that she is really not too bright. Commenting on the pedophile Roy Moore, she went on to say that if the allegations against Moore were true he should step aside…but then the idiot went on and said this: “if there is anyone currently in public office who has behaved that way to any girl or woman, maybe they should step aside”…now, Kellyanne….you do know that your boss has admitted to sexually assaulting at least one woman…so now you say he should step aside? No, of course not…whatever the idiot trump does is just fine…and the 13 women who have accused him are all lying…right? So much for the “family values” party…impeach…
Can we get rid of this ass already?
Well…another day, another bout of abject stupidity by the idiot trump….the idiot was shooting his mouth off yesterday at some conference in Vietnam after he was asked about Russian meddling in our elections (something they are still doing right now) and idiot boy said that he talked to Putin about it and then whined that he couldn’t keep asking Vlad about it because he may get mad….well…damn, how many times do we have to listen when this ass just lies and lies…when Putin was asked about it, he said that the topic never came up and trump didn’t ask him about it…so now, this is where we are…that the murderous former head of the KGB is more trusted than the so-called president…but that wasn’t the worst thing…in that same interview, idiot boy threw the entire US intelligence community under the bus saying that he trusts Putin more than the “political hacks” who are running our intelligence agencies…let that sink in a bit…the idiot just committed treason by favoring a foreign power over the US…and what was the response of the repubs in congress while this ass was denigrating our military…on Veteran’s Day? Yep, that’s crickets you hear…impeach this ass….
Can they be this unaware?
Well…just a short one on an article I just read about he reaction of Mike Pence on the allegations of child molestation against Roy Moore…this is what the idiot’s spokesman said that the veep felt: “found the allegations in the story disturbing and believes, if true, this would disqualify anyone from serving in office”….now, does anyone else see the blazing hypocrisy here? His boss, the admitted serial sexual assaulter is just perfectly fine since the women he assualted were of age? Can the modern repubs be so self unaware that they can say this with a straight face? I have had it with this bunch of criminals and degenerates….impeach them all….
The party of kidnappers and pedophiles…
Well…anyone else tired of all the winning already? When I asserted that the repubs were the party of criminals, I was right in more ways than one…the latest revelations hit yesterday when it was reported that Michael Flynn, the idiot trump’s first national security adviser, was offered 15 million dollars by the Turkish government to facilitate the kidnapping of a Turkish dissident who lives in the US. Yep, you heard that one right…one of trump’s inner circle was working with Turkey to set up kidnapping….I know Mueller has that one on his plate, too, and that should be making ole Flynn sing like a little birdy…and the second bombshell from yesterday was the fact that the repubs still support Roy Moore after it was revealed that he is a frickin pedophile who preyed on underage girls when he was in his 30′s….and the condemnation of the rest of the repubs was tepid at best…saying that maybe he might have to withdraw from the senate race IF he really did it…never mind that the Washington Post has interviewed 30 people that corroborate the facts that he fondled a 14 year old girl….this is the party of morality, folks…this is the party that elected an admitted sexual assualter because of Hillary’s e-mails, or uranium, or something, something….impeach…
The repubs are perfectly okay with this….
Well….have just been reading about the repubs candidate for the senate in Alabama, Roy Moore, and the allegation that he molested a bunch of teenage girls when he was in his 30′s…the youngest one being 14 years old at the time. And what is the reaction from the rest of the repubs…I’m talking to you, Mitch McConnell, nothing but crickets…which says to me that they are perfectly okay with child molestation….same sex marriage is icky but child molestation is okay. This self-righteous bigot spent his entire career in the courts of Alabama trying to force his bigoted take on christianity on the entire state…going so far as to ignore the Obergfell decision that expanded marriage equality, saying he had more authority than the supreme court…and getting removed twice for refusing to follow the law. Now, we know that, again, the law is for other people, not Roy Moore…and child molestation is just peachy with him…typical repub hypocrite…..
Tough talk…but little else….
Well…the idiot trump was all talk and bluster during the election where he bragged that he would put China in their place and stop their trade manipulation that was costing American jobs….okay, are you laughing as much as I am? After today, and his comments in China, you should be. The idiot today praised China’s predatory trade policies by saying this: “I don’t blame China for gaining the upper hand in trade deals…I give China great credit”. So, one of his tough talks about China was nothing but another lie to get his know nothing followers to vote for him and when in the presence of China’s leaders, he folds like a wet towel…just like every bully everywhere. This was then compounded by trump not taking any questions from reporters on his 180 degree about face…the first time since the early 90′s and his press secretary blamed it on the Chinese…that they insisted that there would be no questions. Now, the Chinese tried this crap on Clinton and Obama and they refused to let them muzzle them..but I guess the tough guy trump isn’t as tough as he lied he was….and what president would ever allow that to happen? The USA looks very small today in comparison to the Chinese…and it’s all trump’s fault…impeach….
I’m happy for the first time in a year…
Well….with the sound rejection of repubs and trumpism last night, I am happy politically for the first time in a year….the voters in Virginia, New Jersey, and Washington State gave us some hope for a better country…one that rejects the crass hate of the right for the inclusivity and welcoming of our side. Last night proved the mantra that I have been speaking since the depressing events of 2016…if WE vote, we win….and I am thankful for the work done at the grassroots in Virginia and the rest of the country that returned control of three states to our side….and the difference in the reactions to our side winning was stark…our winners immediately embraced the fact that they represent all of the people they were elected to serve…even those that didn’t vote for them….something that was always understood until the divisive politics of the repubs poisoned the country….so, all I have to say is keep it up dems….we are working for a better country for all of us and, with last night’s results, it just may be possible….the trump meltdown today is going to be delicious….
