Ha, ha,ha,ha,ha…..

Well…just had to do another one of these about a little bit of news that just came over twitter….the ultra right wing of the repub party has just said that if the repub “healthcare” law is going to pass, it is going to need dem support. Now, I know that some of us dems have been delusional in thinking that you can work with the repubs when it is just not possible, but our delusions are not anywhere nearly crazy as the repubs thinking any one of us would support more giveaways to the rich and gutting a law that has helped get healthcare for 30 million of our fellow Americans. Just isn’t going to happen and Paul Ryan is the most delusional of them all when he says that he will have 218 votes for the law when it is put up for a vote…not gonna happen, Paul….the crazys on your right think that any law that restricts people’s freedom to die early from a lack of healthcare is communism…and you will never get the 30 of them to go along and you can be damn sure that no dem that wants to avoid being primaried is going to help you torch the ACA….you own this turd of a law…enjoy…

A health care turd…

Well…since I’m sitting here having my third cup of coffee, I thought I’d do a short comment on the repubs new “healthcare” plan that was introduced yesterday…I think turd really is the best descriptor for this piece of hatred directed at working people and the poor. How can covering 20 million fewer people and raising costs for everyone else be considered an improvement? Oh, okay, I get it…it is an improvement for the rich and for the insurance companies since the rich will get massive tax cuts (are you surprised? Is there nothing that the repubs think massive tax cuts for the rich won’t cure?) the poor lose Medicaid, and the insurance companies get to charge much, much more for the same coverage that people get now under the ACA. The contempt for the poor is evident in comments made by the idiot Jason Chaffetz when he said that the poor will have to decide between “healthcare or a new Iphone”…this from an idiot who has us pay for his healthcare…Jason, I have news for you… the $600 dollar cost of an Iphone doesn’t pay for anything when just getting a yearly checkup costs over $1500 dollars. They also rolled out the turdish idea of health savings accounts that would let people save money tax free for their healthcare…I hope you can see the flaw in this thinking…most of the people helped under the ACA barely make their payments as it is…where the hell are they going to come up with the thousands and thousands of dollars a year they would be on the hook for if the ACA goes away?  The sick thing about all of the repub plan is that they shout “freedom” to justify screwing over the entire country (except for the rich)…how much freedom do you have when you go bankrupt from uncovered medical bills? I just hate these guys….

The meltdown begins…

Well…I am watching gleefully as the meltdown of the idiot trump begins…Friday, he blew up at his senior staff and started screaming at them that they are not doing enough to make the collusion scandal with Russia go away and that baby idiot sessions didn’t tell him that he was going to recuse himself from the Russia investigations. Then, he went on a delusional tweetstorm accusing Obama of wiretapping his phones during the election…a tidbit that he got from the conspiracy website Breitbart that is a swamp of lies and right wing propaganda. The meltdown continued at his golf course with it being reported that he was bitching to people he golfed with that he “knew” he was right on the wiretapping and the media was covering it up. The only problem…okay, one of the problems here is that if wiretapping happened, there would be records and there aren’t any…and if there are, that would mean that a judge approved it…and that would mean that there was probable cause that a crime was happening….I think the idiot trump has seen that there is evidence that he is a criminal and it is only a matter of time before he is charged with it…and no amount of lying or misdirection is going to save him….drip, drip, drip…impeach…

Trump is the dumbest person on the planet….

Well…as we all know, trump doesn’t know a damn thing about how government works…showing his ignorance every day and every time he opens his mouth and today, we know he doesn’t know a damn thing about how the justice system works either. Over the past day, cheeto donnie has been going crazy tweeting about wiretaps that were put on trump tower’s phone lines last year…screaming that it’s worse than watergate and like McCarthyism….right there, we can be sure he doesn’t know what McCarthyism is because it has nothing to do with wiretaps…but the thing the idiot donnie doesn’t understand is that if he was wiretapped, it was approved by a judge that saw that there was enough evidence that there was probable cause that a crime was being committed…and now the dumbest man on the planet goes tweet crazy calling more attention to his crimes….how much more stupid can this idiot get? Better get the pardon pen ready, idiot, you’ll need it before you and your whole administration resigns…impeach…

Oh, and one last thing..the idiot can’t even spell…adding an extra “p” to tap….tapp, tapp, tapp…

Hypocrites, all….

Well….I have not seen this many liars in government in my long lifetime…and the same goes for the repub hypocrites that infest this nation…as I’m sure you recall….the major issue of this last election was Clinton’s use of a private e-mail system that she used to conduct government business…and the drumbeat was relentless that she should be “locked up” for doing it…and one of the biggest voices was Mike Pence, who, it was just revealed, used his AOL account to conduct business when he was governor of Indiana…yeah, I know, who the hell uses AOL anymore? I am so damn tired of these hypocrites and liars getting a pass from the media and their normalization of lying as they breathe….why is there no outrage about this? Every damn one of trumps cabinet picks lied to us during their confirmation hearings….and no one thinks that is enough for them to go? This is the modern repubs folks…but I guess you like being lied to since you knew they were all liars and yet you still voted for them….I’m getting a headache thinking about this….

Jeff Sessions should be in jail….

Well…the problem with normalizing liars in our government like trump, is that everyone thinks they can get away with it because trump does. So, now we have the attorney general, Jeff Sessions, lying under oath in his confirmation hearings, which is felony perjury by the way, and he is still in office. This is just another part of the trump/Russia conspiracy where Sessions met multiple times with the Russian ambassador who, according to our intelligence services, is Russia’s top spy here in the US….and who knows what they discussed? One thing we do know is that right after one of those meetings during the repub convention, language harsh to Russia on the Ukraine was taken out of the repub platform…the only change that trump asked for. What does it take for these criminals who colluded with Russia to throw the election to be held accountable? We need a special prosecutor to get to the bottom of this…after Sessions is charged with perjury and perp walked out of the government…impeach…

The idiot always gets graded on the curve…

Well…I’ll bet you wish your performance in life or on your job was graded on the curve like the idiot trump….the damn pundits think that he sounded “presidential” since he read a speech off a teleprompter and didn’t drop his pants or piss himself….I’ve got news for you, nobody but trump gets graded on a curve that only includes the idiot….can you imagine being able to do your job like trump? Come in to work, read for an hour and then back on vacation….and no performance reviews, no need for any accomplishments, and you could be as racist or as big of an asshole that you can be and still keep your job since everyone around you protects you from the world. That is what grading on the curve is for trump….he didn’t bite the head off a bat so that makes him a statesman….but only in trumpworld….impeach…

Where’s the investigation into trump’s botched Yemen raid?

Well…with today’s revelations of what happened during trumps’s botched raid in Yemen where there was no intelligence gathered and no operative captured, where are the investigations of how he screwed the pooch? And how a Navy Seal died and how almost 30 women and children were killed. Today, we found out that the Seals knew that their element of surprise was compromised when they were more than 5 miles away from the objective but they were ordered to continue…probably just so trump could act like the badass he isn’t. The next question that needs to be answered is how were the Seals compromised? Who tipped the terrorists off to the raid where the Seals were ambushed? Could it have been someone that worked with the US that was then told he couldn’t come to the US because of trump’s Muslim travel ban? The limited thinking of trump and his inability to see the consequences of his stupid actions killed that Navy Seal and those women and children just the same as him pulling the trigger himself….this isn’t a game that can be played by a moron and his moron advisers…he needs to be impeached….

Boycott trump tonight…

Well..the idiot in chief is going to give another self congratulatory speech tonight in congress and all I have to say is that any sane American needs to boycott the speech to make it the lowest rated one in the history of the country…and, to those of you that are still giving the idiot the benefit of the doubt in respect to the office of the president I call bullshit…trump has no respect for the office or he wouldn’t be using it to enrich himself in direct violation of the constitution….trump has no respect for the rule of law or anything else, especially you idiots that voted for him and unleashed his racist, white supremacy hate on the rest of us….so the only thing a sane person can do is to boycott the address and anything else trump…he needs to be isolated like a cancer and cut out of the body politic before he kills it….and that is coming….

Betsy DeVos truly is an idiot….

Well…as you know, repubs will say or do anything to push their agendas and Betsy DeVos laid down a whopper yesterday in a press release that sounds like a 7th grader wrote it, in trying to justify the privatization of public schools and school choice that has been her calling card here in Michigan and that has destroyed our schools here. What this idiot did yesterday was jaw dropping in its ignorance and stupidity…praising the necessity of historically black colleges and universities as on the vanguard of “school choice” that gave blacks “options” that legal segregation and Jim Crow laws created…now, how many ways is this twisted, convoluted justification of school choice just plain wrong? First, there is no “school choice” in play here…minorities ONLY option in this segregated country at the time was to go to a HBCU school…any minority that tried to enroll in any “white” college or university was met with lynch mobs and gunfire as was James Meredith when he tried to enroll in the University of Mississippi in 1962 and 20,000 soldiers of the National Guard had to be called out to protect him and put down the riots by whites who would have killed him if they could….some choice, huh? All of this is just a new piece of evidence of the ignorance of history of ole Betsy and that she will use any lie to push her for profit school schemes that will reward her rich buddies and hurt every child here in the US…after all, she has lived in her rich girl bubble her entire life and has no idea what normal people have to do to get by….and she sure doesn’t give a damn about anyone but her rich, white cronies…and that press release shows it…
