Well…with the trump white house and the house trying to sell the spin that the problem with trump and his collusion with the Russians to fix the election is not the actual fixing but people leaking the information that it was fixed…the senate has taken up the mantle of investigating this lawbreaking and we have Chuck Grassley to thank for it…he and Dianne Feinstein have sent a letter to the FBI and justice department telling them they want all of the information they have on the trump collusion with the Russians, the first step in a full investigation that the house has refused to do…trying to protect trumps’s lawbreaking and attacking the people who are letting the American people know just how corrupt trump and his cronies are….I hope this is just the first step in the process that will make this American nightmare go away…and maybe even put trump in jail…we can hope…

We’re all immigrants…
Well…with trump’s immoral crackdown and rounding up of immigrants since his Russian fueled election, I have a few thoughts on the day that many cities are seeing an “immigrant strike” where many places that depend on immigrant labor are closing for the day to emphasize how much immigrants contribute to this society. Unless you are Native American, you and your family are immigrants and came here for the very same reasons that current immigrants do…for opportunity and to make a better life for their families…many escaping the prospect of death in their home countries. When my family emigrated to the US in the late 1800′s, we were demonized for being Irish, and were relegated to slums and the worst jobs as were most immigrants at the time…but there was significant difference then…as soon as immigrants set foot on US soil, they were on the path to citizenship and a way to integrate themselves into the US society, something that immigrants in this society can’t do with the current “hate the immigrants” culture that has been fanned by trump and that was instrumental in his hate filled campaign. Over the course of this country, immigrants have been reviled and scapegoated over and over again…and their contributions ignored…I hope this day of resistance does something to end that….
Three provocations in one month…
Well…if you need any more evidence that the world and especially Putin has absolutely no respect for trump, you just have to look at the three provocations that Putin has done just since the idiot was kind of elected…first, he upped his attacks on the Ukraine knowing that there would be no response from trump since he had already promised to remove sanctions from Russia…second, Putin deployed a missile system that is illegal under treaty with the UN and what was trump’s response? Go ahead Vladdie, you don’t have to worry about me doing anything about it…we’re friends, after all. Third, just over the weekend, Putin has parked a spy ship 30 miles off the east coast to listen in on our communications…something that would never have happened under the “weak” Obama…again, trump does nothing about it but say “good job Vladdie old pal”….and goes back to his resort in Florida to hang out with his billionaire buddies….this is just the start…and you, repubs, need to do something about this idiot…I wonder why trump isn’t doing anything about Putin? Do you think it may have something to do with the dirt Putin has on trump? It sure appears that Putin is blackmailing trump to keep him from doing his job….so repubs, do your job and impeach this idiot…
868 days…
Well…if you had any doubt that the repub house is full of partisan hacks that will do anything to protect a criminal president from their party, you just have to look at the length of time that Jason Chaffetz took to “investigate” Benghazi and Hillary’s e-mails where he found no wrongdoing at all…868 days and 10′s of millions of dollars that turned up nothing…not a damn bit of lawbreaking and yet he persisted in wasting the house’s time and our money…and when three investigative agencies tell him (and he HAS been briefed on their findings) that trump and his cronies broke the law and colluded with the Russians to throw the election, what is his response? That he is not going to do a damn thing about it…and I will keep hammering this home….if Obama had done one of the many things that trump has done and continues to do, Chaffetz would have been leading the charge for impeachment….why not now Jason? Do your damn job….
Partisan hacks…
Well…with the revelations that the trump team colluded with the Russians to throw the election, a fact borne out by investigations done by the CIA, the NSA, and the FBI, the response from the repubs that should be investigating this blatant disregard for our democracy is nothing but crickets….not one of them…not Jason Chaffetz whose job in the house is government oversight, nor Jeff Sessions, the attorney general whose job it is to root out lawbreaking has said they are going to do anything about it…it would be as if we found out about Nixon’s lawbreaking in Watergate and the government watchdogs just said huh and then never did anything about it…and this is much worse than Watergate, this is a foreign country throwing an election to a compliant toady who they have under the thumb of blackmail….and the partisan hacks that the repubs have become will do nothing about it…if Chaffetz was in charge when Nixon broke the law, Nixon would have served out his second term and lived the life of senior statesman instead of the crook that he was…shame on you Jason…watch the tapes of the Watergate hearings if you don’t know how to do your job….
Trump the weak…
Well…if you wanted to see the result of the weakest, most ignorant, and stupid president in the history of the country, you just have to look at the actions of Putin over the past few days where he deployed a new missile system that is specifically prohibited by treaty to go along with his invasion of the Ukraine. Where is the tough guy trump who said that none of this would happen under his watch? As the idiot trump fiddles, the rest of the world has his measure and is taking advantage of his stupidity….across the globe, every country has seen that trump is just an idiot and they are going it alone since they know there is no US leadership with trump in charge…..this is who you voted for repubs…in less than one month trump has made the US much less safe and much less respected in the world…cripes even Iran is laughing at him…and Yemen, and Germany, and Russia, and the list goes on….repubs, impeach this idiot before he does even more damage….
Jason Chaffetz…do your damn job…
Well…with Mike Flynn resigning and with it the tacit admission that he broke the law by colluding with the Russians against the Obama administration, the only thing I have to say is “Jason Chaffetz, do your damn job” and investigate how deep the Russians influence is in the trump administration…it wasn’t enough for you to investigate when trump’s campaign manager was found to be on the Russian’s payroll, is it enough now that trump and his cronies have been working with the Russians to undermine our democracy? And that it is clear that they have broken the law? Not for you if your comments from this morning are any indicator…that the Flynn affair is “working itself out” and you see no need to investigate while you are still investigating Hillary’s e-mails? Do your damn job, Jason…or you are complicit in this lawbreaking and you should resign along with the rest of them….
Flynn resigns…trump and bannon should be next…
Well…woke this morning to the good news that Mike Flynn has resigned from his post of NSA after it was revealed he was colluding with Russia to undermine the Obama administration and the sanctions that were applied to them when it was revealed that the Russians were meddling in our election. But, this contact with the Russians was not done by some rogue agent as the spin will start to say today, but was done under orders from someone that Flynn worked for…say either trump or bannon…and that means that either one or both of them broke the law and put our democracy in danger…so the next two to go should be those two idiots…but, will they be held accountable? Nope, not from this amoral repub party who really don’t care about democracy or doing their jobs…after all, there are still Hillary’s e-mails to investigate….geez…
Flynn should be in jail….
Well….as more and more details come out of Mike Flynn’s traitorous connections to the Russians, it is quite clear that he has broken the law and violated the Logan act that prohibits anyone from working against the US for a foreign country. Flynn, before he was legally able to contact the Russians, did just that…talking to the Russian ambassador about the sanctions that Obama had imposed as punishment for Putin’s invasion of the Ukraine, and asking them to delay any response to them until after trump was in office….and guess what? Putin did just that….and after Putin made the delay, trump tweeted basically “good job Vladdie” which shows he knew about the foreign policy meddling and that makes him just as guilty as Flynn…but, will the repubs do anything about it? Nope, they will let the trumpistas get away with any lawbreaking just as long as they get to keep power and cut taxes on the rich….and the country continues to circle the drain as the repubs refuse to do their jobs…
The looting has begun…
Well…we all know that trump is breaking the law every day by still being in control of his businesses….and the past two weeks pointed out why presidents should not be able to profit off the government….over the past two weeks as trump took two weekends at his resort in Florida…at a cost of 2 million dollars for each weekend that went straight into trump’s pocket….now, I don’t know about you but I sure don’t want any of my tax dollars going to that idiot…and we can be sure that over the course of this year alone, trump will loot the federal government of close to 50 million dollars…just the kind of grift that the law was meant to prevent…where are you repubs? Impeach….
