Is this lie enough trump supporters?

Well….how much lower can the asshole trump go before even on of his supporters goes “nope, no more” and abandons this racist? It’s clear that being a raging racist is not enough after idiot boy’s tweetstorm against Rep. Cummings this weekend…that I think was driven by the fact that  Cummingshas just subpoenaed Ivanka and Jared’s communications that were done with private e-mail accounts while doing government business…and trump is getting so unhinged that he has to attack everyone…but that is not what this one is about…today, in a signing ceremony at the WH for the 9/11 responders fund bill…that no democrat was invited to even though dems were the ones who wrote and introduced the legislation, and Jon Stewart spent the last two years pushing every day…trump lied his ass off and said that he was in the street on 9/11 helping the first responders who were risking their lives trying to save people…trump was nowhere near the street that day…in fact he was on a radio show bragging that after the WTC fell, he had the tallest building still standing in Manhattan…and then sat on his ass in trump tower bitching that he saw thousands of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey after the attacks. Hey trumpsters…is this lie enough…is standing on the WH lawn in front of the real first responders and saying he could be called a first responder enough? What a delusional piece of shit…impeach….

The money is there…

Well….just watched the Daily Show with Jon Stewart as guest where he was visiting the senate to try to get them to re-approve the funding for healthcare for the 9/11 first responders…now, you know how I feel about the hero worship that cops and firemen get in this country…some deserved, some not, but when they are injured on the job, it is our duty to take care of them especially when there is clear data that connects the cancers and respiratory disease they are experiencing to their work at the WTC. The thing that just galled me when they talked to Rob Portman, a senator from Ohio, was that he talked about paying for the bill, that they needed to offset the costs by cuts elsewhere….hey, Rob, I got a cut for you….take a few billions out of the bloated military budget…you know, one frickin destroyer less would pay for it…and then some…the most poignant thing from that show was the panel that was there 5 years ago trying to get this funding passed…which had 4 first responders and Jon on it….now has three empty chairs for the guys that have died or whose health has deteriorated so much they couldn’t travel….what the hell is wrong with us? Billions to bomb but no money to take care of our own? This is the modern republican, folks…geez…
