Maybe I’m right….

Well….if you’ve been here over the past few months, you have seen that almost every time that I talk about trump, I preface it with idiot….and now, with a new poll that is out from the folks at Quinnipiac, I may be right in doing it. No, I’m right no matter what any poll shows…he is an idiot…but the poll did a word association of “what comes to mind when you think of trump?” And guess what the first answer was…that 39% of the people responded…yep, he is an idiot followed closely by liar, and incompetent…so, I guess I’m not wrong when I consistently call the idiot trump an idiot…lots of people think that….impeach…

Are we a nation of men or of laws?

Well….just listened to Keith and his latest tweetcast and there were a few pertinent points that he made that I want to comment on….I lived through the original “Saturday night massacre” when Nixon’s solicitor general fired Archibald Cox…the special prosecutor who was investigating Nixon and Watergate. A few days after the firing, Cox came out with a statement that included this question: “Are we a nation of men or of laws?” That’s a question that is still pertinent now…are we a nation of men or of laws? Is the president above the law or does he have to adhere to them as the rest of us do? In Watergate, the answer was yes, he does have to adhere to the law just like the rest of us…and I ask the repubs in congress now…does the president have to adhere to the law as the rest of us do? The answer from McConnell yesterday was that trump is above the law, that he will not be held accountable for his crimes…even the latest count of obstruction of justice by firing the person that was investigating him…and I agree with Keith…”you don’t fire the person investigating you…” it’s only happened once before…..and we all know how that turned out…impeach….

The real reason Comey was fired…

Well….forget all of the bullshit and lies that are coming from trump and his cronies about why they fired James Comey yesterday….there is only one reason, and it’s not how he handled the Clinton e-mails…a few days before he was fired, Comey went to the justice department to ask for more money and personnel to expand the trump/Russia investigation…after the preliminary work found a massive connections that he needed more money and investigators to unravel. Once sessions heard about it, he ran to trump in a panic and convinced him to do something…and that something was obstruction of justice by firing Comey. With this little tattletale move by sessions, it is clear that it was a lie that he recused himself ..from the Russian investigation, but, everyone knows that there are only liars in this administration and this is just the latest lie from the creepy Keebler elf. Sessions needs to resign right now…and the repubs in the house and senate need to start doing their damn jobs and holding trump accountable….impeach….

Trump fires Comey….

Well…did anyone else see this coming? As the noose closes around trump and his cronies, trump flails around like the wounded elephant that he is and fires the FBI director….the reaction to this obstruction of justice has been varied on the web from “we’re all screwed” to “this just shows how desperate trump is”…..I’m not sure how I feel about this just yet but I still have a little faith in our institutions and think there are enough ethical folks out there working on these investigations that won’t let this deter them from doing their jobs…like the NY AG who is working on trump money laundering and many other crimes that his gang have committed. And the grand jury in VA that has already issued RICO warrants that are yet to be served…and that is where Comey was for his last day of work….talking to that grand jury and I’m sure that is one of the reasons they fired him today…but, trump is so damn stupid and doesn’t understand how government works that he thinks that firing the director will stop all of the investigations…what does he expect all of the FBI agents to do? Just sit at their desks and play on Facebook until a new director is named? Not gonna happen…the stink of desperation is all over this….impeach…

A crime family is running this country…

Well…the day after the idiot trump extended the EB-5 visa program that allows investors that invest 500k to a million dollars in the US to get a green card and permanent residency here, guess who was in China selling the visas? Of course it has to be someone in the crooked trump administration….or related to it…Jared Kushner’s sister was hawking the visas at a meeting in China over the weekend, making the implied idea that the investment would find favor with trump and his administration…even going so far as to assert that trump himself was the “decision maker” where the visas were concerned. Now, this is such a conflict of interest since trump himself will profit from these investments that I can’t believe that there is not one person in the government ethics agencies that think this is wrong…but, that’s the new world we live in ..a crime family is now running this country…impeach,,,,

This is pretty funny….

Well…with the French elections being held today and the idiot trump’s candidate getting crushed, I had to laugh a little…not just at that but that the first phone call that the winner Macron made was not to the US *president as has been the custom until trump, but to the leader of the free world, Angela Merkel…showing the contempt that the rest of the world has for trump. And, all Trump did was tweet his congratulations…no phone call, no nothing from the sore loser baby *president. There was one more little tidbit that I read about today…..that Macron and Merkel are going to meet with trump on the 25th of May, and they are going to discuss all of the classified information before they meet trump….since they don’t trust him or his cronies…and they feel that any classified info would end up in Russia just as fast as they talked about it…this is where trump has gotten us…from the leaders of the free world who had the respect of the world under Obama to the joke of the world….having the *president of this country treated like the idiot that he is…that sure is some winning there…impeach….

The same crap in France…

Well….here we go again….after Putin and his accomplices stole our election for the idiot trump, he is doing the same thing to try to install his puppet LePen in France. Does this sound familiar? Hackers broke into the servers of the leader, Macron, and now all of his e-mails are being posted online…just the same damn thing that was done to the dems here…but there is a little twist that just came up a few minutes ago….there were rumors that alt right sites like Breitbart were colluding with the Russians…not really rumors since there are active investigations going on to define the contacts between these sites and the Russians and the speculation is that they broke the law….and now, the first release of the Macron e-mails has been traced back to an American alt right site with ties to the Russians…so an American “patriot”, as they call themselves, is now colluding with the Russians again to try to install another racist hater, this time in France. Enjoy it while you can…jail time is coming for all of you…impeach….

Run, you cowards….

Well…with the atrocity of a health bill inching it’s way through the repub controlled house, questions are being asked of it’s repub supporters whether or not they have even read the bill…and guess what? The cowards are running away from the questions…literally…since they haven’t…they will vote for a bill that will kill thousands of Americans and throw 24 million off their insurance but they haven’t even read what’s in it? I know why…they just don’t care….as long as they can give a trillion dollar tax cut to their owners, nothing else really matters since they have insulated themselves from the carnage by making it not applicable to them…now that’s some courage right there…cowards….

What if you knew her and found her dead on the ground?

Well….some years this day goes by with no recognition at all, but this year I think we need to remember what happens when the government turns on it’s citizens…especially in these days of trump. 47 years ago today, National guard troops opened fire on protesters on the campus of Kent State University…after 13 seconds, 4 young people lay dead on the ground for exercising their constitutional rights to assemble and protest….to this day, I still remember it coming over the news and Walter Cronkite reporting it…and as a 16 year old kid quickly coming up on draft age, I was still trying to understand the Vietnam war and why we were fighting there….I do remember the walkouts at my high school that followed Kent State and it did enter my mind that there may be danger there…I think Kent State was my turning point, where I went from the naivete of supporting the country no matter what to understanding that we as a country could be wrong…and those words from Neil Young’s song still bring a tear to my eye every time I hear them “…what if you knew her and found her dead on the ground…how can you run when you know?”  Peace…..

All you need to know about trumpcare….

Well….with the vote coming up this morning on throwing 24 million people off their health insurance by passing trumpcare, there is only one thing you need to know about it and the repubs that are selling it as being better than Obamacare….the repubs have exempted themselves from the crappy insurance that will come from trumpcare…yep, the great, wonderful insurance that will come from trumpcare is only for you…the idiots that voted for trump and his cronies…but not for the sociopaths that are voting for this atrocity….and there is no CBO score or even a full reading of the bill…the repubs want a vote and the bill isn’t even finished yet….just an outline but that won’t stop the idiot repubs from voting for it…no, I won’t call them idiots anymore…I’ll call them the murderers they are since thousands of American citizens are going to lose their lives from this bill…and hundreds of thousands are going to lose everything they’ve worked their entire lives for by having to declare bankruptcy being swamped by medical bills that were covered under Obamacare….we need to make these murderers pay in 2018….impeach….
