Well…another day, another repub tax cutting plan being exposed for the fraud that it is….their grand plan was supposed to be released today but they are still working on it..and now it will be released tomorrow…never mind that they have been “working” on their tax plan since at least 2010…and they have nothing to show for it but tax cuts for the rich and raising taxes on everyone else. And magically, deficits no longer matter…all of the scores say that this “plan” (what little is known of it) would explode the deficit by 1.5 trillion dollars a year…whatever happened to the “grave concern” that the repubs were expressing about the national debt just a few months ago? Now, we on the left knew that Paul Ryan was a fraud and his “wonkishness” and expertise on budget matters was nonsense…after all, how much expertise is needed to give more and more money to the rich and corporations? It’s just like the CEO’s that are brought in to make companies profitable again and all they do is cut jobs…not grow the company or innovate…but just cut, cut, cut while they cash their 8 figure paychecks. Ryan and his tax plan are both frauds….and we are all going to pay for it….geez…

Politics as promised….
Well…did anyone else see the desperation on the right with the indictment of 3 of trump’s cronies? Fox “news” went into overdrive trying to change the subject back to the thoroughly debunked conspiracy theory of “giving away” American uranium…and here’s the thing, the sale of a Canadian uranium company to a Russian one was done completely above board and following all of the rules, approved by 9 different agencies, none of which were controlled by Hillary…so now Hillary has “given away” 20% of our uranium….just like every other lie from Fox “news” and the right, the only purpose is to protect trump until they get the giveaway to the rich done and raise taxes on the rest of us….I, for one, am going to get the popcorn ready to watch the next set of indictments come down…it is going to get to trump and Pence, and the rest of them who have lied to the FBI…..please, please…Jared next…and then little donnie…and then Ivanka…just remember this one thing…both Jared and Ivanka had a felony case bribed away for one of their real estate scams…and that one can be revived…I wonder if there will have to be a trump wing at one of the federal prisons? Hope so…impeach…
It’s Manafort to start…
Well…it has just hit the news that Paul Manafort (the idiot trump’s former campaign manager) is the first one to be charged in the trump/Russia investigation….the charges haven’t been released yet but I know what the idiot’s response is going to be “I barely know the guy…he was only around for a little while and wasn’t really a part of the campaign…” but, a really telling thing is that there haven’t been any tweets yet….hey, Donnie…he’s coming for you…impeach…
The dam is breaking…
Well…I am positively giddy that it was leaked that the first indictments have been approved in the trump/Russia investigation yesterday….and that the first arrests could take place as early as Monday…and now we know why the idiot trump was tweeting like crazy yesterday, trying to deflect the media toward the totally debunked Hillary/uranium fake scandal…and his minions across the right wing media were going nuts trying to do the same…it seems the heat is on and I really hope this dam will break next week as more and more indictments are handed down…Mueller has trump and he knows it…this meltdown is going to be lots of fun to watch…there are even some repub house members that are now saying that they were just waiting for this to happen for them to start the impeachment process (yeah, right)….maybe idiot boy won’t make a year in office? We can only hope….impeach….
The great dealmaker…
Well…just had to do a short one on an article that I just read about NAFTA and the “great dealmaker” who resides in the WH…after his bluster and bullshit about how bad of a deal NAFTA is and the only he can get a better deal….it was revealed the other day that with all of the idiot trump’s hatred of Mexico, they have decided to purchase all of the agricultural products that they would normally purchase from US farmers from South America. Yep, from trump running his big mouth and his racism, farmers in the US just lost almost 14 billion dollars in sales to Mexico….how do you like that farmers? These folks went for trump by almost 70% and now many of them will be put out of business…and all I can say is “votes have consequences” and this idiot and his blundering is what you voted for…I don’t have a damn bit of sympathy for you….impeach…
The PR electrical contract gets even worse…
Well…if you remember, I did one of these earlier in the week about the 300 million dollar, no-bid electrical contract that Whitefish Energy got to restore the electrical grid in Puerto Rico…you know, the company with two employees and no office anywhere that is owned by trump cronies….that’s bad enough, but it gets even worse…in the contract, there is a clause that forbids anyone from auditing anything about the costs in the contract…yep, no one can know how much profit these guys are stealing or anything else…other than what they are charging…and they ARE charging…I mean $300 dollars an hour for a lineman? And $332 dollars for accommodations and $80 bucks a day for food? So, they are billing at least $812 dollars a day for EACH of the contract people they are renting since they only have 2 full time employees….I’ve done a lot of contracts and there is no damn way I would approve one that I couldn’t know what the costs are and how much profit is in it….but this is trumpworld so I guess that’s how things are done now….they should all be locked up…..impeach…
Elon Musk to the rescue….
Well…amid the total failure of the idiot trump and his fake companies to restore electrical service to Puerto Rico…5 weeks in and over 70% of the island is still without power…there has been one bright spot that was just reported on today. The San Juan children’s hospital has been hard hit by the hurricane and it’s aftermath, trying to keep the children alive using unreliable generators and the hurculean efforts of it’s staff….enter Elon Musk of Tesla who, a couple of days after the hurricane hit, offered to start the transition of the island to renewable power using his solar panels and batteries…but trump and his minions had no interest since coal and oil are the only things they think about….oh, and trying to make profit off of this disaster….in three weeks, Musk and his team have installed and started an installation that is supplying all of the reliable power that the hospital needs…and saving the lives of the most vulnerable….Now, this is how things should operate in a caring world..but, we live in trumpworld so good luck with that…..impeach…
Stealing more money…
Well…not sure if you’ve heard about the newest scheme from friends of the idiot trump to steal more money from you and I….this is a good one….with over 70% of Puerto Rico still without power, and without any oversight…a company from interior sec Ryan Zinke’s home town has just been given a 300 million dollar no-bid contract to repair over 2400 miles of electrical wires across the island…only one little problem with that…this “company” has only 2 employees, no office, and it’s biggest job to date was to string 5 miles of wires…yep, a company working out of a post office box or somebodies basement has just had 300 million of yours and my money shoveled to them and their only presence is a FB page where one of the “owners” is proudly a trump donor and has pictures of her with many trump cronies….now we know why the governor of PR ignored the current contracts and agreements for other electric companies to help in an emergency…he left his people in the dark so he could reward trump cronies with free cash….the swamp just gets deeper and deeper…repubs, these criminals need to go…impeach…
Just noticed this the other day…
Well…it’s been a gloomy day and that has put me in a kind of gloomy mood…it’s the middle of the afternoon and it is so dark in here I had to put the lights on…but, that’s not what I wanted to talk about…on my rides lately, I’ve begun to see political signs popping up along the route for the local election that is to be held in a couple of weeks. One thing that I have noticed about the signs is that the ones for the dems proudly say they are dems but the ones for the repubs don’t mention party affiliation….I wonder why that is? Especially since this part of Michigan is a hotbed of trumpism…you would think that they would be using that on the signs. All I know is if I ever see trump or repub on a sign…I’ll never vote for that person…period.
Now he’s calling a grieving widow a liar…
Well….I’m going to quit writing about the idiot trump for a while after this one since he just frickin disgusts me….I’m sure you’ve heard about the phone call he made to the widow of a fallen serviceman where he didn’t even know the soldiers name and basically saying with no empathy that “he knew what he signed up for”….then lied about what he said and then had John Kelly go out and lie his ass off, too…well…the chief ass made it worse this morning after the widow, Myeshia Johnson, went on a news show and told them how she was “very upset and hurt” by the idiot’s phone call and reiterated that idiot boy didn’t mention her husband’s name once on the call….of course, trump couldn’t let being called out as a liar go by without tweeting about it….lying his ass off that he mentioned Sargent Johnson’s name many times from the start of the call…essentially calling a gold star wife a liar…to go along with calling Rep Wilson a liar, too, who was in the car when the appalling call took place. Now, we all know that trump is the biggest liar the world has ever seen, but this incident points out his racism, too…a black soldier gets killed in action and he doesn’t even bother to learn his name, calling him “your guy” during the call and then smearing a black representative by calling her a liar and “wacky” in tweets yesterday. Now repubs, what the hell are you going to do about him? Nothing, I’m sure…just so you can gut the safety net and give tax cuts to your owners…impeach…
