Well…if the NYT reporting is accurate, it looks like the idiot trump is on the hook for extortion and bribery, too…if you haven’t read it yet, the NYT reported that idiot boy stole a lot of the classified documents so he could trade them for the material on the 2016 Russian interference in the election to try to “prove” that it was all a hoax…now it’s bad enough that he stole the documents which is a felony, but to try to extort the government and bribe them to give him other documents is another two felonies to go along with obstruction of justice that he committed by hiding the documents in the first place….and it’s not just me saying this…there have been quite a few former prosecutors that have said the same thing and same as me, they can’t figure out why he hasn’t be arrested and charged since the illegal possession of the classified documents has been proven way beyond the standard for a conviction…so come on Garland, perp walk this criminal now before he can do any more damage…geez…

Mulvaney runs on bribes…
Well….I probably shouldn’t be surprised that another repub just stood up and said that he won’t listen to anyone unless they give him cash…but damn, to come out and admit you have committed crimes throughout your political career seems to be a wee bit too much. That’s exactly what Mick Mulvaney did yesterday when he stood up in front of 1200 bankers and said this: “if you’re a lobbyist who never gave us money, I didn’t talk to you. If you’re a lobbyist who gave us money, I might talk to you.” So, Mulvaney is telling lobbyists or anyone else that wants to talk to him to pay him a bribe first or no dice….and this tells us all that he doesn’t give a damn about the people he works for, you and me, but just people who will line his pockets but doesn’t stop there…he also tells the bankers that they need to pay other repubs, too, and thinks it is “a fundamental underpinning of representative democracy” to pay-to-play and only people with money should have any say in the government. You know how I feel about this sickening revelation of how the repubs think…and, we can end this crap of government for the rich if we just vote in November….impeach…
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…
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…
Now it’s bribery…
Well…if being a racist wasn’t enough, now it is becoming clear that ole Trump is a briber, too….and he freely admits it. What will it take for someone to do something about this? As a little background, as AG’s around the country investigated the fraudulent Trump University, and it started to look bad for Trump with at least 5 investigations in different states getting to the point of proffering charges, two of the AG’s…in Florida and Texas decided that there wasn’t enough evidence to bring a suit….even though two other AG’s disagreed….now we know why they dropped the investigations….ole Trump gave campaign contributions to the AG’s of both Texas and Florida and then magically the cases were dropped. Yep…I guess now you can buy your way out of legal trouble with 25K in Florida and 50K in Texas…just as long as you have repub AG’s…I guess money talks and justice walks. Trump has even said that when he makes political contributions, he expects to get something for them in the future. And the AG that took the bribe in Texas is now the governor there…funny how that works out. One thing they didn’t count on in Texas is that one of the people that was in the office during the investigation just released 14 pages of material that shows that the case there was really strong and now the governor…Abbott is retaliating against the individual that made the scam public….just another day in the repub run justice system…grease my palms and you can do anything you want…geez…
Republicans are just evil…
Well…I’m not sure how many times I’ve said this over the years but, from their behavior, repubs are just evil, evil people who only care about ideology, not about the people they are supposed to work for. The latest example comes from Virginia, where the dem governor there is trying to get almost 400,000 people without health insurance covered under the Medicaid expansion from Obamacare, but the repubs are doing everything including bribing a dem senator to quit his job so the repubs will control the senate and block the expansion. Yep, you heard that right…this traitor dem tried to trade his senate seat for a place on some tobacco board and for his daughter getting a judgeship…bribery, plain and simple…but the thing that just galls me here is that selfishness of this guy…to trade the health and welfare of all of those Virginians and allowing some of them to die just so he can take care of his family. What about the rest of Virginia’s families, senator? Just ugly republican double dealing just like they have done everywhere they have taken power…and they continue to be returned to power by the very people they are saying “screw you” to…geez…
