Bill Barr’s brownshirts…

Well…you know we’ve all been wondering when the fascist Bill Barr would use his position as AG to further corrupt the justice department but we didn’t think it would be forming his very own brownshirt army that only reports to him. You remember the brownshirts don’t you? They were Hitler’s personal army that he would sic on his enemies and many times the enemies would end up in jail, dead, or disappeared….and now Barr has his own version of the brownshirts that he has deployed around DC to “control the riots” that are only riots to him…everyone else sees that the protests have been peaceful until the police and Barr’s private army attacks the protesters…just like they did when the idiot trump just had to have his photo op of walking to a church that didn’t want him there. Never in the history of this country has an AG had his own private army that wear no insignias, who won’t identify themselves to the press or the public…cripes, the AG doesn’t even have the authority to command the police or any other group like the national guard that he has also usurped command from the normal chain of command. Now…the question I have to ask is “where is Nancy Pelosi in all of this?” It is her job to be a check on the executive branch and she can defund Barr’s private army today so why hasn’t she? this needs to be done now and Barr needs to be impeached for this abuse of power…get on it Nancy…the country may not last until trump is gone…

Impeachment is coming….

Well…finally…with the news from the past couple of days, it appears that the 6 committees that are investigating trump have agreed that they need to vote on formalizing their investigations into a single impeachment investigation…and that vote is going to happen next Wednesday…and with dem control of the house, the vote will pass. One thing to remember is that there is enough evidence to impeach trump even before the bombshell revelations this week that trump is blackmailing the Ukraine into faking evidence that trump wants to attack Biden by withholding 250 million dollars in military aid that congress passed to help Ukraine protect itself from Russia….yep, naked blackmail that is being run by Rudy Giuliana…corruption on an epic scale that can’t go unanswered and that will now be part of the impeachment investigation. But, it’s not the only recently revealed corruption that trump and his cronies have been perpetrating…just yesterday, it was reveled that trump has ordered the air force to use a failing airport near his Scotland resort for refueling to keep it from closing and making it hard to get to trump’s resort…yep, trump is buying fuel for military planes at retail using taxpayer’s money to prop up his resort in Scotland….and the cronies he has put in charge of the military are going along with it…is this enough, repubs? Is this damn enough for you to convict after this crook is impeached? In any normal time, it should be…but with Moscow Mitch in control of the senate, there won’t even be a trial and trump will be able to continue to line his pockets with taxpayer money while the repubs close their eyes and destroy the rule of law. We can use Mitch’s behavior in the 2020 election, though, and maybe send him back to turtleland…now I can say this again…impeach….

Abuse of power?

Well…c’mon folks, does trump really have to shoot someone on 5th avenue to have the congress do anything about him? The latest from the criminal in chief is as clear of an abuse of power as has ever been seen…a couple of days ago, as the idiot boy was touring his fake border wall in the southwest of the country, he told the assembled CBP officers there to ignore the judge’s ruling that said closing the border to asylum seekers was against the law….and to tell them that the “country was full” and could not take any more immigrants. Now, I’m old enough to remember Nixon and Watergate and the fact that one of the articles of impeachment was the abuse of power by Nixon by telling people who worked for him to lie to the FBI and break the law…now, how is what the idiot trump done any different? He has ordered people who work for him to break the law and to ignore a judges order to follow the law…I am getting damn tired of no one doing anything about this criminal *president who is destroying the rule of law in this country…and now, I pointing my fingers at you dems…you have plenty of evidence to impeach this asshole and you should just frickin do it…I don’t think the country will survive until the 2020 election….impeach….

No trump today…

Well….was going to write something about the looming government shutdown but since that has the idiot trump in it I just can’t do it….don’t want to even think about the idiot in chief so I won’t….Oh, I did want to talk about the good news here in Michigan that some repubs finally realized that their lame duck session shenanigans are not a good idea and have stopped them…but only after some damage was done…to them in the next election I hope. While they destroyed the citizen sponsored rise in the minimum wage, the rest of their power grab was stopped this week when the senate approved stripping of campaign finance oversight from the newly elected dem was stopped in the house…and guess why that was proposed in the first place? Yep, typical repub crap….the senator Dave Robertson has been under ethics investigations for years due to campaign finance violations and criminal embezzlement by his former campaign manager…and stripping this oversight from the secretary of state would essentially stop the investigations into Robertson….is there anything more repub than that? At least one repub here has had enough, and I applaud rep Aaron Miller for putting a stop to this un democratic bullshit….

Snyder’s abuse of power…

Well…here we go again…the repubs here in Michigan are abusing their power and rigging the system so Flint can’t make sure the state lives up to it’s responsibility to fix the damage done there by the emergency manager and the Snyder administration. As a little backstory, I’m sure you know that cost savings measures put in place by the Snyder administration led to the poisoning of Flint’s water supply and millions of dollars of damage to the water infrastructure there. To ensure that there would actually be a fix in place and not just talk, which is all we have ever gotten from Snyder, the city of Flint filed a notice of a lawsuit that would do just that…that would force the state to fix the damage that was done…but, as always with the repubs here in Michigan, they are rigging the system so that Flint can’t sue by changing the rules that requires that any suit has to be approved by a Snyder appointed board…yeah, that’s right, any suit that would hold Snyder responsible has to go through a new Snyder appointed board…now, how likely is it that any suit would be approved by Snyder’s cronies? It’s just another example of how the repubs here are abusing their power to protect their asses and not the people….we need to vote these guys out of office this fall and start making sure that Michigan has a functioning democracy again…not a third world government run by cronyism and lies…geez…
