Well…I really don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t want to know how sucky the population in general thinks your leader is. With the trump cult still in full swing, now the repub house and senate election committees are withholding polling information from the other repubs as they meet to try to work out a strategy to take the house and senate next year…and the reason is that the numbers are just so bad for idiot boy trump that he is going to cost them winnable seats if he pops his ugly head out of Florida and tries out his schtick again…especially after most of the country thinks he is responsible for the attack on the capital. This brings up a question…why the hell is anyone scared of idiot boy if only a small fraction of the country even cares if they ever hear from him again? Or is the support because all of the damn repubs have the same racist views and they still like how he is so good at hating people and has liberated them from having to hide their hate? Whatever it is, there are people in the repub party (not many of them) who are becoming concerned that Biden’s great numbers on his handling of basically everything may cost them the chance to win either the house or senate…and their ever loonier candidates are appealing to an ever smaller base that works in primaries but won’t in the general election…gee, we can only hope…

Dead man walking…
Well…one of the things that happen when I get up too damn early is that I have time to fill before I can get on the weight machine and not wake up the neighbors…and I just needed to comment on the fact that William Barr was shown to be a huge liar last night on every news show…last night, it was revealed that Mueller sent Barr a scathing letter on March 27th saying that he misrepresented the findings that Mueller put in the report and in no way shape or form did he say what Barr said he did in his “summaries” or in his lie filled press conference. Mueller then followed the letter up with a 20 minute phone call to Barr to discuss what was in the letter…and that is a huge problem for Barr since he went in front of congress on April 10th and lied his ass off that he didn’t know what Mueller thought about Barr’s shenanigans with the releasing of the report and his misrepresentations of what Mueller’s conclusions were. This is a clear case of obstruction of justice and perjury by Barr and the calls for his resignation are coming more and more as time goes on…I guess my question is: don’t any of these morons know that they would be found to be lying? That there is tape of them testifying and it can’t be explained away by bullshit and bluster? This makes Barr a dead man walking and impeachment proceedings should be started if he doesn’t resign today…impeach…
There goes those talking points…
Well…just got back from washing the car to the news that Michael Flynn’s sentencing has been delayed after the judge tore him a new one for his lawyers bullshit feeding of the conspiracy theory that Flynn was entrapped into pleading guilty to lying to the FBI and didn’t know it was illegal. Giuliani and all of the shows on fox news have been pushing the lie that lying to the FBI is not even a crime for a couple of weeks now but the judge was having none of it…pointedly asking Flynn if he knew that lying to the FBI was a crime and Flynn said he knew when he did it that he was breaking the law and he was not entrapped into pleading guilty…but, that wasn’t enough for the judge as he continually asked the lawyers for Flynn if he was ready for sentencing, telegraphing that there was going to be jail time if he was…so, the lawyers asked for a delay in sentencing so Flynn could continue his cooperation and maybe take jail time off the table…one of the cool things that I read was that the judge laid into Flynn telling him he “betrayed” the US by his actions, essentially driving the last nail into the coffin of the right’s attempts to minimize Flynn’s crimes. I think Flynn’s lawyers really stepped in it by trying to pooh pooh Flynn’s crimes in the sentencing filings and I applaud the judge by not having one bit of that crap…after all, Flynn is a traitor to this country who worked to undermine the sanctions on Russia for interfering in our elections and installing idiot boy trump…no matter how much he cooperates, he should still go to jail…impeach…
One little problem for donnie jr….
Well…sitting here trying to get some coffee down and this little thought just popped into my head…donnie jr. has a problem now that his idiot father has admitted that the trump tower meeting was to get “dirt” on Hillary…the little idiot went in front of congress and lied that the meeting was about “adoptions”…now, we know that the repubs won’t do a damn thing about it since they spend most of their time covering for the most lawless administration in the history of the US….but, November is coming and, after the election, he can be referred to the justice department and charges of lying to congress can be pressed….so, it does look like everyone that has been part of this debacle will go to jail…and it can’t happen soon enough…impeach…
Erik Prince is going down….
Well…just when I thought that the news was going to overwhelm me with all of the crap coming out of the WH, a little bit of good news made me smile this morning. Reporting from a lot of news outlets today have put together the case that Erik Prince lied to congress and the FBI about his supposed “chance meeting” with the Russians in the Seychelles. Now, if you remember, one of the charges that got both Popadopoulos and Gates in this investigation was lying to the FBI and both of them are going to jail for it…so guess where this leaves ole Prince? Yep, indictments are coming for him and they need to make sure he doesn’t run to Dubai like he did when his company, Blackwater, was on trial for murdering scores of people in Iraq. The meeting that he lied about was not the “chance meeting” he said it was but was planned weeks in advance and Prince knew about it as the planning was going on…and there is new evidence coming from a person that was at the meeting that the purpose of the meeting was for Putin to get his hooks further into the idiot trump and his amateurs that were trying to conduct foreign policy in secret. Now, I m sitting here with a smile on my face that Betsy DeVos’s brother is going to jail…and that these people of privilege who have been able to cheat their entire lives and live on inherited wealth and a feeling of superiority to the rest of us are finally being shown that they are not above the law….it is another step in getting directly to the idiot trump…impeach…
This is too funny…
Well…it you needed any more confirmation that ole Trump has no relation whatsoever with the truth, you just need to look at a story on Raw Story today that says that his bankruptcy lawyers would only meet with him in pairs since they needed corroborating testimony with Trump lying to them and everybody else…all the time. Let that sink in a bit…even Trump’s lawyers knew that he was a pathological liar who would lie all the time so they had to cover their asses by having two lawyers in the room. I guess that’s really all you need to know about Trump…and it confirms the analysis done after the first debate that showed that Trump lied over 80% of the time during the debate…I wonder why anyone would ever do business with someone like Trump who can never be trusted…how could he be trusted to be president? The simple answer is he can’t….geez…
I think my brain has stopped working…
Well…I’m not sure what the heck the problem is with me lately, but I have been having real problems getting to these and having something to say…but, I have been blocked before and I’m sure I will be again…so, let’s go…I just love the word mendacity and I have been getting to use it a lot lately when I have been describing the repubs and their actions…from voter suppression to just bald faced lies in the debates across the country, I have never seen a party that is so far distanced from the truth…the latest example comes from the senate debate in Montana where the repub candidate denied vehemently that he voted to turn Medicare into a voucher program….the only problem was that he did…and it was in the congressional record…but with these guys, it just doesn’t matter, they just move on and their supporters don’t seem to mind they are being lied to….maybe it’s just not my brain that has stopped working…maybe everyone’s has…geez…
We don’t need no stinkin’ facts…
Well…I know I’ve been on the case of the repubs for their breathtaking lies over the past couple of months but it has been earned by them….starting with the Romney campaign responding to the media’s calling them out on the lies by saying “we are not going to let fact checkers run our campaign”….basically saying that they are going to continue to lie since the only other thing they have is tax cuts for the rich and benefit cuts and tax increases for everyone else. Then, we have ole Ryan’s speech last night that was all lies and misrepresentations that have been pointed out by many, many media outlets…even Fox news has called him a liar and when fox criticizes any repub, hell is certainly freezing over. The most egregious of ole Paul’s lies center on two things…the first being the GM plant that closed in Ryan’s hometown with Ryan saying it was Obama’s fault…but, the uncomfortable fact is that the closing was announced in the spring of 2008….months before Obama was elected…what was he supposed to do? Invent a time machine and go back to save the plant? The second huge lie centers on the cuts to Medicare PROVIDERS that is included in the ACA…again, Ryan lied when he said it was BENEFIT cuts that would mean there would be 716 billion dollars less in care for seniors because of the ACA. the irony here is that the repub touted Ryan budget does exactly the same thing with exactly the same cuts. These guys have taken lying to a whole new level that I have never seen in a presidential campaign….if they lie about this, what else are they lying about? Geez…
More Mitt….
Well…just a little short one on an article that was reported the other day that goes to how ethically challenged ole Mitt is….and how he has no problem lying about anything if it will further his political prospects…a few days back it was revealed that in his days as a job killer at Bain, he instructed one of his subordinates to lie to obtain information about a competitor…a great example to set for people who work for you and not a trait that anyone should want in a president. Except the right, that is, who have absolutely no problem lying, cheating, and stealing to shove their warped vision of the US down our throats. It looks like the people are starting to get an idea of who the real Mitt is and the polls are reflecting it finally….if you haven’t seen it, there was a funny arc in “Doonesberry” this week that took ole Mitt’s job creation claims to task…he created lots of jobs but those jobs were in China and the Chinese government sent a representative to give him a plaque for it…funny stuff…
August 29th part two…
Well…there was a Sunday Funday after all…but I don’t think there will more topics today since I just don’t have anything itching in my head…I do have an idea about the need for everyone (including me) to stop calling people names…but there are times when you need to do that to get your point across but, only when it is the truth…sometimes, idiots are idiots and liars are liars and need to be labeled as such…and there are so many more of them on the right…another thing that just popped into my head as I’m writing this…do we progressives lose elections while adhering to our principles or do we get down in the swamp with the righties? I lean toward principles, as you know, but it is hard to sit and watch while lies and race-baiting dupe the American people into voting for the righties. If they win this time using these tactics, I’ll probably just fold up the tent and just try to survive..but I reserve the right to say I told you so when the repubs screw everything up and give even more of the country to the rich…geez…
Only three more of these and this will be my most prolific month ever….can I say yay?
