Well…I think I’ve watched more news this morning that I have in the past 4 years…and I still can’t get enough of the stench being cleaned out of the WH and the idiot boy finally being gone…and the genuine smiles on the faces of everyone involved in the inauguration…even the repubs appear to be happy that trump is gone and is not there to pout and stew in the background….and we don’t have to look at the grifter trump children anymore…good riddance….

More money laundering…
Well…haven’t done a placeholder in a while but I wanted to remind myself that it just hit me with the latest guilty plea, the trump inauguration was just a front for more laundering….okay…let’s talk about this for a minute…it has always been a little shady how much money was raised for the idiot trump’s inauguration…almost twice what was raised and needed for Obama’s…and trump had many fewer events and less than half the people attending those events…so, what happened to the 107 million dollars that was raised and where did it come from? We got a little taste of where some of the money came from with the guilty plea of another of Manafort’s buddies for taking Ukrainian money to wash and give to trump for his inauguration….and they used the old “straw donor” scam where a US citizen gives the money but is then reimbursed by the Ukrainians through an offshore company….the same methods that are used to launder money through real estate that trump uses. The other burning question is where did the 107 million dollars go? We know they paid an “event planner” 26 million dollars out of the pot…but where did the money go after she got it? This is again a typical money laundering technique that trump used in selling a property in Florida to a Russian oligarch for twice what he paid for it in the middle of the great recession when property values were in free fall. There never has been an outside auditors report on the financing for idiot boy’s inauguration, just an internal one that basically says “nothing to see here” and I hope that this will be the focus of the House in November when we take control…cripes, by then trump could be gone…I hope….impeach…
Predictability from the right…
Well….watched most of the inaugural speech and thought it was much more liberal than I expected…and I hope it signals a more assertive Obama that has learned that reaching out to the right and treating their crazy-assed ideas as if they have merit is the wrong path. They are never going to work with him anyway so why not push the agenda that more than 60% of the country wants…raising taxes on the rich and protecting the programs that we paid for over our lifetimes. The response from the right was a predictable as the sun rising…they bitch because he never mentioned compromising with the hostage takers on the right…they bitch because the speech is too partisan…they bitch because he uses the speech to tell the truth about gays, the economy, and the environment…and they just generally bitch because he is not Mitt Romney….and that really makes me smile. I’ve had enough of trying to compromise with the right when their idea of compromise is that all of us in the center and on the left just roll over and let them ruin this country with their Randian nonsense….and I was especially happy that Obama drove a stake into the heart of the “makers vs. takers” meme that the repubs have been pushing for way too many years. Now, I just want Obama to live up to the speech and do the things that the people want…that’s what winning elections is about.
