Well…running a little late getting here for this one today and I have good reasons for it that I’ll get to later…first, another day, another revelation that Bill Barr has used his position to try to help trump instead of upholding the law…late last year, a Turkish bank with close ties to Turkey’s strongman was under investigation for a multitude of crimes including money laundering and helping Iran get around the UN sanctions it was under for it’s nuclear program…and of course Erdogan didn’t like that so he called the idiot trump, knowing that he is a patsy who can be taken advantage of, and asked him to kill the investigation before indictments could be handed down by the SDNY…and, of course, idiot boy called up his fixer Barr and told him to kill the investigation which Barr tried mightily to do but the prosecutors at SDNY were having none of that since they had spent years building the case and it was clear that the bank was breaking the law….so before Barr could fire anyone in the SDNY office, they filed the indictments and got the case into the courts…now, from what we’ve seen lately, that doesn’t matter to Barr at all…if it benefits trump or his cronies, there is nothing Barr won’t do…and that makes me call for his resignation…again…along with 1,100 former prosecutors who signed a letter saying that Barr is corrupting the justice system and has to go….and now….

Bill Barr is a transparent liar…
Well…one of the drawbacks of getting up so early and getting all of my work done by 8 am is that I need to find something to do to keep from getting bored…and re runs of Leave it to Beaver are just not cutting it…so, I thought I’d come here for number two before I head out to HF…so, did you see that fake outrage that Bill Barr displayed yesterday saying that the idiot trump’s tweeting is “making it impossible to do my job”? The pundits who are almost always wrong or who have and agenda immediately piped up saying it was a huge break with Barr “standing up” to trump…yeah, that sound you hear is me laughing my butt off…if anyone believes this is standing up to trump, I have a nice bridge in NY to sell you…this is nothing more than Barr reacting to the outrage of his turning the justice department into trump central and doing his best to let trump’s criminal cronies off the hook for their crimes…and I’m sure he is coordinating this “outrage” with the WH to give him cover to continue to destroy the justice department, but to do it in secret instead of in the open as trump tweets expose his behavior. I’m sure Barr has already taken his crayons to the WH and drew up some nice charts and pictures that explained to trump that he is still going to do everything he tells him to but it needs to be quiet…we’ll see if trump’s tweets change to other topics now that he has gotten what he wanted from Barr…one good thing is that quite a few commentators have seen through Barr’s lies and it is being widely reported…but that doesn’t matter to the troglodytes that support trump….
We’re not scared anymore…
Well…whether or not you like Mike Bloomberg ( and there is a lot not to like) his actions and the money he is spending shows we are no longer scared of trump tweets…okay, I don’t think anyone on our side ever were but maybe we are modeling how to react to the idiot in chief for the repubs…just this morning, idiot boy was going off on Bloomberg again about his height of 5’4″ and Bloomberg shot this one back on Twitter: …”we know many of the same people in NY. Behind your back they laugh at you and call you a carnival barking clown. They know you inherited a fortune and squandered it with stupid deals and incompetence. I have the record and resources to defeat you, and I will.” Now, that’s how you respond to a con man who even bankrupted casinos he was so bad at business…and I think everyone else on our side should take a cue from Mike that now is the time to attack the bully in chief…and to make sure that Barr and the rest of his cronies know they are going to face the full measure of the law when trump is beaten like a dirty rug…and not the conspiracy theory, fascist use of the justice department that Barr is doing, but the transparent use of the law to uphold it and hold those accountable for breaking it…they should be very concerned but I think most of them are just too stupid to realize it..or have been able to get away with everything for the past twenty years under cover of the entire repub party…that is going to end in November…and not a day too soon…
This is what Schiff needs to do…
Well…all of you people who bitched about Nancy Pelosi hanging on to the articles of impeachment until moscow mitch laid out how he plans to coverup trump’s crimes, just take a look at what mitch is doing now…planning to have only two days of presentations that will end up running into the wee hours of the morning, no tv coverage, no witnesses and no documents…so now, the ball is in Adam Schiff’s court and he needs to immediately subpoena Bolton and the rest of them and make them testify to the House…and whether or not this will lead to additional impeachment articles is not the point…the point is that if all of the repub senators lied when they took the oath to be “fair and impartial”, the only recourse for getting at the truth for the American people is to restart hearings in the house and get the subpeonas into the courts, all the while making sure that every damn news organization knows that 70% of the American people want witnesses and documents in the senate trial. Ole moscow thinks that this coverup trial is going to blow over and everything will be just peachy but we’re just getting started…and mitch and his co-conspirators are going to pay dearly for this blatant attack on this country…you listening Steyer and Bloomberg? You want to spend some money to hurt these guys? This is it…hammer it every day that the repubs hate this country and are a bunch of cheaters…and let’s get some of our folks on the news to reinforce how corrupt moscow mitch is…and do it now…
Damn, I was right about something…
Well….okay, I don’t get to say this too often but it feels good when I can….Damn, I was right about something…after the impeachment votes last night, Nancy Pelosi came out and alluded to something that I wrote about earlier…that she may delay sending the impeachment articles to the senate until she is sure that there will be a fair trial there…and by fair she means that not one rigged by moscow mitch to guarantee that the idiot trump is not removed even though he is an admitted criminal. I know she couched it in more vague language that I would have, saying that she needs to know what the playing field looked like before she could put together the team to present the prosecution, but Adam Schiff made it abundantly clear that moscow mitch is rigging the trial and that will be a consideration whether or not the articles will be sent. Now, I don’t know how much leverage this gives Nancy but the idea that they can keep hammering moscow mitch in the press for the corrupt asshole he is must be appealing since they have little else they can do. We’ll see if moscow mitch doubles down on his corruption this morning since he is having a press conference this morning at 9:30….that should be good…
Corruption?
Well…hey, the repubs have a new talking point on trump’s extortion of the Ukraine for personal political gain…just this morning they floated the new one that trump was talking about “general corruption” and the Bidens were part of that…there was no targeting of the Bidens at all…but, trump and his idiot cronies only wanted the Ukraine to root out corruption to make their country better. Now, as I stop laughing so hard I almost choked, I wonder why Ukraine is the only country that aid was predicated on a “corruption” investigation…and I wonder why trump and his cronies wrote the statement that the president of Ukraine was supposed to say to the public when they have never required that from say Turkey, or Saudi Arabia when they pour money into those countries that are rife with corruption and murder of their own citizens. So, it’s all just more bullshit from the bullshit administration trying to keep the idiot trump in office…and it isn’t going to work….
A new day…
Well…the day that those of us who value good government and truth has arrived with the swearing in of the 119th congress and I can’t be happier…well…if we would have taken the senate, too, I could have been happier but I’ll take this…now, we won’t have any more of Devin Nunes carrying water for the most corrupt president in the country’s history and the cool thing is that this new House looks so much more like the country does…the true melting pot that sees many more women elected and taking their seats today…along with many more people of color and of every religion under the sun….I can’t wait for the right’s heads to explode when one of the new Muslim women elected is sworn in with Thomas Jefferson’s copy of the Koran….wearing the traditional headscarf of her religion. One little noticed detail of the dems taking control is the fact that they will also take control of all of the money that the repubs authorized to investigate Hillary and her e-mails and that 172 million dollars is now in Nancy Pelosi’s hands to do with as she pleases…and she pleases to hire many, many more lawyers and investigators to investigate the corruption that is rampant in idiot boy’s administration….and these are not the dregs of the legal profession that trump has to hire since no one wants to work for him, nope, they are the cream of the profession who want to be part of this historic take down of the cancer that is trump…I’m pretty sure that idiot boy doesn’t understand the world of hurt he is in…and that unhinged tweets won’t protect him…get the popcorn ready…this is going to be a good show…impeach…
It’s a slush fund…
Well…now we know a little bit more about why trump is so freaked out about the raid on Michael Cohen…it looks like he has been running a slush fund where corporations and Russian oligarchs have been pouring millions of dollars to buy influence with the idiot trump and his minions. I wonder if this is like the time they caught Obama’s personal attorney running a slush fund? Nope, that never happened in any administration but this one…well…Nixon’s, too, so I guess these idiots are in good company…the next question that will be answered is where did the money go? Just like the 100 million dollars from the inauguration slush fund that just disappeared, this money has to have gone somewhere and I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up in trump’s pockets. One of the companies that were pouring cash in this slush fund was A T&T who just happened to want net neutrality repealed and just like magic, their 200K contribution got them just that….and there is a list of other companies that bought what they wanted by contributions…how much longer do we have to read about this rampant corruption every day? I am getting tired of the thinking of the ruins these assholes are going to leave when they are finally in jail where they belong….impeach…
Lock him up…
Well…just finished up putting the snowies on the car and came in to this bit of great news….Michael Flynn, the idiot who led the “lock her up” chant at the repub convention last year, has just been taken into custody by the FBI…and is going to plead guilty to lying to the FBI…now, with all of the things he is guilty of, for Mueller to allow him to plead way down to only one felony, Flynn has given up someone even higher up the food chain…can you say trump? This is the first bit of good news this week and the endgame is on…I am SO anticipating another shoe to drop today and for the idiot trump to start tweeting his final meltdown….let’s just do a little comparison here…Obama’s 8 years….zero indictments….the idiot trump’s first 10 months…4 indictments of top people in his administration….the most lawless, corrupt administration in this country’s history….here come the perp walks….
The bribery continues….
Well…reading a little bit about some reporters who have been “following the money” just like in Watergate and a couple of stunning sub stories have come up that I just have to comment on. A year or so ago, trump sold some property in Palm Springs, Florida to a Russian oligarch, a “fertilizer baron” as he has been called…and the funny thing about it it this guy paid $50 million dollars more than the property was worth that went straight into trumps pocket…hmmm…I wonder what the reason would be that someone would pay double what a piece of property was worth? Think it may have been a slush fund from the Russian government to set the stage for trump to do them favors? Sure looks like it and trump has given no other explanation for the extra $50 mil. And, the bribery or influence peddling continues with his son in law’s ( and close adviserJared Kushner) family being given a $400 million dollar profit on a building in Manhattan that is being purchased by a shady Chinese company that is said to be a front for the Chinese government. Now, what better way would there be to gain influence in an ethically challenged trump administration than to give the in-laws $400 million dollars? Just another part of the web of corruption that stinks to high heaven from trump and his administration….now, the media has been asleep at the wheel on trump but I can’t believe that there is not one journalist out there that doesn’t want a Pulitzer prize for putting the corruption/conspiracy puzzle together….impeach…
