They have to take an oath…

Well…to show just how corrupt Mitch McConnell is, you just have to look at the oath that all senators have to take before the impeachment trial starts that requires them to be “impartial” during the proceedings. Does ole Mitch think that if he announces to one and all that he will coordinate with trump and the WH during the trial that that is okay since he announced it before the trial? How can it even appear that he is impartial if he has already made up his mind and has promised trump he has nothing to worry about with a trial? I wonder what John Roberts, the SC chief justice, is going to do when one of the dems files a complaint about ole Mitch’s “impartiality” and demands that Mitch recuse himself because there is no damn way that he is going to be impartial and is going to violate his oath as soon as he opens his mouth? Will Roberts risk what little respect he has left and his legacy just to help Mitch keep trump in office? Sadly, I think the court has been so corrupted by Mitch’s blocking of Merrick Garland from the court and it’s packing with ideologues by Mitch that Roberts is just going to give up and go along…and that is one thing I don’t understand…how supposedly respectable judges and legislators have trashed themselves for trump when they have to know he is the worst of the worst and they could actually burnish their reputations by standing up to the orange menace and protecting the constitution…but, they don’t and a more craven bunch of fools I have never seen…geez….

They’re going to lose women for a generation…

Well…I just can’t think how short sighted the old white guys are in the senate who are trying to ram the sexual assaulter Kavanaugh through to the SC…it’s not bad enough that he has lied to the senate in every damn one of his confirmation hearings and has broken the law with getting stolen information from dems in the senate, now that a  credible accuser has come forward that he tried to rape her, it is still business as usual with these old white guys who don’t give a damn about it…who don’t really care that he has led a life of abusing women and treating them like objects…they have already telegraphed that they are going to approve him no matter what his accuser says on Thursday, no matter how awful Kavanaugh is as a person, no matter how entitled this smarmy little shit is….they are going to ignore the 70% of women and 69% of the general public who say Kavanaugh should not be confirmed…and they are going to lose women voters for a generation if they cheat to confirm…as they cheated to keep Merrick Garland off the court. Not only that, they are going to lose the house and the senate, too, but they can’t see it…they have been able to lie, cheat, and steal for 40 years now without any consequences but things have changed…we are energized and are going to do everything in our power to throw these assholes out….and Kavanaugh and his cronies need to remember that the 2020 senate map is going to give us the votes necessary to remove him from the court…and we will…this crap is not going to go anymore…impeach…

Clinton and trump treated the same?

Well….have been reading a little about Comey’s testimony in the senate today and most of the response from the idiot repubs come from the WH playbook…that the only problem is that people were leaking information to the press….not that Comey put his thumb on the election scale and cost Clinton the election. When asked about that by dem senators, Comey answered that he treated both trump and Clinton the same….okay, let talk about that a minute…where was the letter to the house about trump’s ties to Russia when Comey just couldn’t wait to let the house know that they had found duplicate e-mails on someone else’s computer? In his testimony today, Comey even admitted that he knew that his letter about Clinton  would be leaked to the press by the repubs…but now he is “nauseous” that it happend and the he “may” have affected the election. This is bullshit…he knew damn well what he was doing would damage Clinton and he did it anyway….being a lifelong Clinton hater he even allowed the NY office of the FBI to work openly to help elect trump…and no amount of bullshit backfilling is going to change how much damage he has done to the US and the world…what a load of crap…..

If you hate the senate so much, Rubio, just quit…

Well…not sure if you have heard of this nonsense but I read about it a few days ago and wanted to make a short comment. In the past week or so, Marco Rubio has been telling everyone that will listen that he hates the senate and won’t run for re-election…and this has really shown in his behavior lately…having compiled the worst attendance and voting record of anyone in the senate. This coming from a person that famously said a few weeks ago about some other government official that if they won’t do their jobs, they should just quit…so, Marco, take your own advice and stop stealing your pay for the next year…pay, by the way, that is $174,000 dollars a year and that I’m sure most people wouldn’t whine about….this is the typical repub these days…bitch and complain when you have it better than most of the people in this country and make excuses for not doing your job….if the senate is too hard for you, why the hell are you running for president? So you can quit when it gets too hard like sister Sarah…what a crass little whiner…geez…

Still cheating…

Well…still not having much luck with topics today…but I did hear that the repubs are using the same tricks that they always use to try to take control of the senate….that is…don’t tell anyone anything…and lie, lie, lie….just what ole Walker did in Wisconsin and what ole Snyder did here in Michigan….try to look moderate to appeal to the independents and then unleash the war on workers, women, and immigrants when they are elected. I think they forgot for a few minutes this past week that no one wants their policies except the idiots and the rich when they said they would come out with policies they would implement….and now they are walking that back so fast their shoes are smoking….but, this is how they always operate…they know everyone hates them so they just lie, and lie, and lie…I wonder why anyone still believes anything they say? Geez…

Losing the political game…

Well…just wanted to comment a bit on the nonsense that has been going on in the senate since Obama was elected…where the repubs, as always, put political concerns of their party above the good of the American people; blocking nominees for executive positions and filibustering popular legislation just to suit their crazy assed right wing base. But, now it appears that even some of those in the crazy party are tiring of never getting anything done and have teamed up with Harry Reid to end the obstruction and start getting the people’s business done. It’s about time…Harry Reid has been bringing a knife to a gun fight for far too long…not believing he also had one…an even bigger one called the nuclear option where he can change the rules of the senate with just the dem caucus…and then, with those rule changes, he can tell the repubs to just go to hell if they don’t want to really govern…which describes most of the tea party folks. I am glad that ole Mitch McConnell played the petulant little child that he is right to the end…even going so far to show up at Reid’s office and try to get himself included in the reform, only to be told by Harry to basically “not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out..” something he deserved considering that he reneged on the January agreement about an hour after he made it with Reid. What a lying sack of crap….and now the rest of the repubs have lost the selfish political game they have been playing with the lives of all Americans and I hope that leads to more and more losses as the people understand that the repubs don’t give a crap about them…geez…
