God’s a polluter now?

Well…as we all know by now, the repubs think that all of the country’s ills are the responsibility of the EPA and getting rid of the agency that ensures that our air and water are safe is first on their agenda. The reasons they are using for gutting the agency are becoming more and more ridiculous by the day and yesterday a repub rep, Scott Perry, laid down a beaut….blaming god for pollution in the Chesapeake Bay, saying that “forests are providing a certain amount of phosphates and nitrates to the bay”. Now living in a truth free environment seems to be par for the course for repubs these days, but setting environmental policy by idiocy and fantasy is a sure way to ensure that the environment will get worse under these idiots…as will everything else….geez…

Where were you in July, Comey?

Well…there is a hearing going on in the house today with James Comey on the Russian collusion with trump to throw the election his way….there have been a few things that have come out that are eye opening to say the least….that the FBI has a counter intelligence operation going that involves Russia and the trump campaign and have had one since last July…and that means that they are pretty sure the Russians were using the trumpsters to spy here in the US…and they are sure that the Russian actions were meant to hurt Hillary and help trump…they were not the innocuous “meetings” that trump has said they were but part of a Russian intelligence gathering operation. I don’t see how that is much different from what Comey did before the election…he was trying to throw it it trump, too. But, let’s give him the benefit of the doubt for a while… a very little while….the worst part of the hearing is the sick display that the repubs are putting on, not even trying to get to the bottom of the Russian interference…they think the Huuuge crime here is that someone leaked that there was criminal behavior going on, not the criminal behavior itself. This is your modern repub party folks…party before country, party before doing the job the American people elected them to do….so much for the party of the supposed patriots…they are perfectly fine that Russia threw the election…just as long as it’s to their guy….impeach…

Team incompetence….

Well…I think there are pitfalls to filling critical government positions with golfing buddies and billionaires, and team incompetence (aka the trump administration) has just fallen into a huge one with Rex Tillersons first meeting with the Chinese. Now, this low energy idiot had to cut his trip short since he suffered from “fatigue” but not before giving the Chinese everything they wanted, basically telling them that they can do whatever they want and there won’t be any consequences from us….yep, this idiot just threw away more than 70 years of diplomatic efforts from both repub and dem administrations that had kept the Chinese in check and I’m not sure if it is just another instance of this whole administration just not giving a damn about being prepared or it is just plain stupidity on Tillerson’s part. Either way, our strategic interests in Asia have just been damaged for nothing…just from trump and his incompetent team….impeach….

Meals on wheels vs. golf….

Well…just a shorty here on what the priorities of the trump administration are…as I told you earlier, trump proposes to eliminate the Meals on Wheels program that serves some of our most needy and deserving Americans since we “just can’t afford it”….so let’s take a look at what he thinks we can afford…every time he goes to play golf it costs over 3 million dollars of taxpayer money…to put this into perspective that would pay for over 450,000 meals for our seniors delivered to their door so they can stay in their homes…but the immoral trump thinks it’s more important for him to play golf than feed our seniors…that is one of the most sick things I have ever heard…and I’ll bet quite a few of these seniors he wants to starve voted for trump….impeach…

The damage done….

Well…now that the trump gestapo has starting imposing themselves on American citizens coming back into the country by confiscating and searching their phones in direct violation of the 4th amendment, maybe there will be more outrage about what damage the Border Patrol and other immigration agents are doing in the name of trump. Over the past week, the Canadian Girl Scouts, called the Girl Guides, have issued a travel ban for any of their troops that were thinking of traveling to the US. Some would say that this is an overreaction to what is going on here but I say it is a perfectly reasonable thing to do with the horror stories of children being detained and handcuffed for hours by the INS if they were Muslim or had Muslim families. This is what this country has come to under trump…that Girl Guides from Canada are at risk of being traumatized by the INS or Border Patrol so they just won’t come here anymore…that is “freedom” to the trump followers and his gestapo but it is shameful to our country and all I can do is hang my head…I just hate these son of a bitches…impeach…

You’ve been screwed, trump voters…

Well…how do you feel now trump voters? Voting for hate and racism has gotten you this…once you got trump into office he has turned on you like the liar he is…filling his government with Goldman Sachs execs who will only pursue policies that will help the rich, not you ignorant fools. Both in his trumpcare proposal that will take healthcare away from many of you and make it un-affordable for the rest of you…leaving you to die early or go broke paying for your healthcare…to his budget which will destroy any program that helped you at all….jobs training? Gone. Environmental protections that finally gave you in coal country clean air and water? Gone. You get the picture…no, you probably don’t. You are propelled by hatred and racism and have been manipulated by trump and his cronies…aren’t you pissed about how much you’ve been lied to? Or are you too ignorant to turn off fox news and think for yourself? Your hero trump went on tv and admitted his policies will hurt the counties that voted for him most and then he said oh, well…that’s just how it is. Feeling pretty stupid yet? You should be….impeach…

The diary of Anne Frank….

Well….have been reading a few articles lately that describe the plight of immigrants in this country who have taken to hiding to avoid trump’s gestapo, and I am appalled at how much these stories mirror the Diary of Anne Frank. When I was young I read the book and saw quite a few television adaptations of the diary that showed the terror the family felt when the Gestapo got close and also the bravery of their friends in trying to keep them safe. That same thing is unfolding here in the US and I still can’t believe that we are allowing trump’s Gestapo to send these immigrants to their death as sure as the Gestapo did during WWII…and I can’t believe the media has not seen these similarities and blared headlines across the country pointing out these atrocities…this is not the country I grew up in…impeach…

Granny starver in chief….

Well…as every day goes by, the idiot trump reveals that his “I’m for the little guy” rhetoric is proven to be the sham that those of us on the left knew it was….every damn thing in the budget that he just released rewards the rich and the military/industrial complex at the expense of the people who voted for him…and the latest outrage is the elimination of a program that literally keeps many of our older citizens alive…his budget cuts the Meals on Wheels program completely…eliminating a lifeline for many older infirm folks and committing them to a slow death by starvation while he takes that money and gives it to the military that doesn’t need the money…we already spend more than the next ten countries that follow us and we don’t need to spend more money there when people are hurting across this country. This just shows that everything trump said on the campaign was a lie…he duped the gullible into thinking he cares about them…open your eyes trump voters….he does not give a damn about you…impeach….

Trump and his bullshit…

Well…ole trump was in my state of Michigan today in front of a crowd of bused in workers who were being paid their full wages to make up the crowd….let’s start with that…how many of these workers would still have a job if it wasn’t for Obama (and Bush) and the bailout of the auto companies that would never had happened if trump had been *president at the time? I know it is probably better for someone on the line to have some paid time off to just stand around instead of work, but how can they look at this sex offender, liar and be anywhere near him? Then, there was the theme of the speech, that he is going to cut the mileage requirements for American made cars….and the idiots ate that one up when it will cost them almost $2,000 dollars over the life of the car in higher fuel costs…and the relating increase in pollution and health problems. The one unintended consequence that this fool and his cronies don’t understand is that relaxing these regulations will make American manufacturers less competitive in the world and cede leadership in technology to everyone else. Do you really think the Japanese are going to go backward in technology? Nope, and cost conscious customers who are used to buying Japanese cars will buy even more of them if they ignore the relaxed regulations and deliver cars that are 20% more efficient than American cars that are built to lower fuel economy standards. This fool idea seems to be hatched in trumps 1950′s thinking about almost everything, from women’s rights to how the world works and will do nothing but gut our economy as people flee our less efficient cars. Moron…..impeach….

Paul Ryan, sooper genius….

Well…one of the great mysteries of the past few years is why anyone would think that Paul Ryan was a successful “policy wonk” and the “brains” of the repub party. Just take a look at his accomplishments since he has been in the House….he did get a post office in his district renamed….hmmm…but what else? He introduced legislation that would have privatized Social Security and been a huge giveaway to the investment community….but the real kicker of that legislation was that if converted to buying stocks for SS, the program would have owned every stock and in every company by 2050….I wonder what that is called? Could it be Communism? Where the government owns all of the means of production? Yep, this sooper genius wanted to put the country on the path to communism since he is just not bright enough to think of the long term consequences of what he proposes. Just like the turd of a healthcare law he just introduced that will kick 24 million people off their health insurance they have gained under the ACA….you could probably say that that is the purpose of the law since allowing low income and middle class people to be able to afford health insurance is something the repubs don’t give a damn about….but, given the total failure of a career that Ryan has had, it might be that he is just that stupid and didn’t see the consequences of what he is proposing…I hope this debacle once and for all puts a stake in the vampire idea that Ryan is the “brains” of the repub party….he is just a no talent hack that has played the pliant media for saps….
