Harry Reid is a badass…

Leave a comment

Well…with the flap about James Comey of the FBI trying to influence the outcome of the election, Harry Reid just sent this letter to Comey about Trump and his cronies:

“I am writing to inform you that my office has determined that these actions may violate the Hatch Act, which bars FBI officials from using their official authority to influence an election. Through your partisan actions, you may have broken the law.”

“In my communications with you and other top officials in the national security community, it has become clear that you possess explosive information about close ties and coordination between Donald Trump, his top advisors, and the Russian government — a foreign interest openly hostile to the United States, which Trump praises at every opportunity. The public has a right to know this information. I wrote to you months ago calling for this information to be released to the public. There is no danger to American interests from releasing it. And yet, you continue to resist calls to inform the public of this critical information.”

“I led the fight to get you confirmed because I believed you to be a principled public servant,” Reid concluded. “With the deepest regret, I now see that I was wrong.”

THIS should be the story…..geez….

Trumps’s buddy Putin…

Leave a comment

Well…I guess today we know what ole Trump thinks is a “strong leader” when he describes Putin…a “strong leader” that sends missiles into the Ukraine and orders a passenger plane with 300 people on board shot down just because it was flying over the country. That is the conclusion of an international investigation that was released yesterday…that the Russian government sent the missile launcher into Ukraine and on the orders of the Russian government, launched the missile that destroyed the plane…then recalled the launcher back to Russia. This is standard fare for Putin and if Trump were to be elected, the green light will be on for Putin to ramp up his terrorism in the former states of the Soviet Union…since it has been his stated goal to reconstitute it and put those countries back under Russian control…and when you know that, you know why Trump has been attacking NATO, the only protection these states have from Russia and Putin. Never in the history of our country has a presidential candidate spouted support for a violent dictator and told him that “if I am elected, go ahead and subjugate anyone you want, I won’t do anything about it”. Trump needs to explain…but never will….geez…

Trump’s rigged polls….

Leave a comment

Well….if we didn’t know that Russia was meddling in our presidential election before, we do now with the revelation this afternoon that the Russians are rigging the online polls taken after the debate to falsely show that the idiot Donald won. All through the day today, Trump and his minions have been tweeting that all the polls except CNN (who did an actual poll that agreed with the focus groups that were run by republicans that Hillary crushed the idiot) showed that Trump won the debate…just one little problem with those polls…when research was done today on where the activity was from the “people” who voted for Trump, more than 90% of the addresses were from the St. Petersburg, Russia area…an area notorious as a hotspot for state sponsored Russian internet trolls who get paid to comment on any story etc, on the internet, and who the Russian government uses to build fake support for its policies. So, there you go, Russia is doing the same thing in our country and Trump and Fox propaganda are eating it up and doing the same thing that Putin does in Russia…using fake “information” to try to sway public opinion….I hope this comes up in the next debate…I want to know who in Trump’s campaign are collaborating with the enemy to rig the election and what they owe Putin for doing it….geez…

More from Russia with love….

Well…I wonder when ole Donnie Trump is going to have to register as an agent of a foreign state? After all, his campaign manager, who has worked for the Putin ally in Ukraine and other oligarchs  with close ties to Putin is still on the payroll of those folks to the tune of almost 13 million dollars….and Trumps people did Putin’s bidding when softening language in the repub platform on the protection of the Ukraine….and now we have ole Donnie’s wife pallin around with Putins girlfriend in Russia….not to mention the billions he owes to Putin’s cronies since he couldn’t get any business loans from banks here after all his bankruptcies. So, would you expect someone with all of these shady connections to be able to “stand up” to the Russians as he says all the time? Nope, me either….I would expect that eastern Europe would be back under Russia’s thumb within months after ole Donnie got elected…thankfully, that won’t happen since he is cratering in the polls and it gets worse every time he opens his mouth…sad….

How is this different than Watergate?

Leave a comment

Well…with the hack and spying that was done to the DNC by the Russians to try to throw the election to the idiot Trump, I have only one question: “how is this different than Watergate?” The Watergate burglars got caught breaking into and bugging the DNC to gather information for Nixon to use to against his “enemies”…and the Russians broke into and bugged the DNC..although electronically, to do essentially the same thing…to dump the e-mails to give Trump information to attack his “enemies”. Where is the difference? There isn’t any and the very idea that Trump can spout off about Islamic terrorism and the threats to the US while at the same time he colludes with Russia to hurt the US is treason pure and simple…and we can connect the dots to the influence that Putin would have with a  president Trump by looking at the only thing that Trump was interested in the repub platform…to soften the promise that we would protect the Ukraine in case of a Russian invasion…just what Putin wants. It is breathtaking to have a presidential candidate already doing the bidding of a foreign power…foreshadowing what Trump will be like if elected…the first wholly owned president of a foreign power….sad!

Something on the Ukraine…

Leave a comment

Well….still not feeling all that great but had a couple of thoughts that I wanted to get down on the Ukraine situation…I wonder where people get the idea that anything can be done? Especially by us…do the hawks here think we are going to attack Russia? And, the thing is that Putin knows it…not only because they have a real army with real tanks and attack helicopters and fighter jets…something that Afghanistan didn’t have and we are still there 13 years later and still haven’t won. Plus, you just need to look at the supply lines if you are going to consider a real shooting war…Russia has 20 divisions within a day of the Ukraine…it would take the US 6 months to get ready for any sustained attack…yeah, we could maybe lob a few cruise missles at them but all that would do would be to piss them off…so, where does that leave us? In the reality based world, it means doing just what we are doing…talking to the UN and other organizations that can levee economic sanctions to make them hurt some…like the new suggestion that Russia be expelled form the G8, making getting loans almost impossible to get and forcing them to basically go on a cash basis….will that work? Who knows? But it is better than a shooting war…geez…
