It’s quiet…too quiet…

Well…have been reading the news all morning trying to come up a topic but the news has been pretty quiet today…maybe a little too quiet given the unending scandals coming out to the idiot trump’s administration. You may have heard of this one, though, that Scott Pruitt didn’t think the government vehicle that he was issued was quite good or safe enough so he got them to issue him a fully bulletproof one…and that even included bulletproof seat covers…through his whole tenure, Pruitt has spent money hand over fist….more than the past three administrations combined and the question came to me..”what changed?”…what was the reason this moron feels so threatened? I wonder if it could be the fact the EPA is now being run for the companies that it is supposed to regulate and that these companies are writing new regulations that will kill thousands of people a year with the increased pollution?  Or is it just that these thieves are the typical chickenshit repubs who are scared of their own shadows and there is no reason for the increased security other than it makes them feel important? No other EPA administrator has needed a 20 person security detail or a bulletproof vehicle….and this idiot doesn’t either…geez….

The repubs are the big spenders…

Well…just found this little nugget out on the web that I thought I’d share as a rebuke to all of the repub cries of “socialist, big spender” when they talk about Obama. I know, why am I responding to what is just another in the litany of lies that the right has told about Obama,…with his “uncontrolled spending” being one of the biggest whoppers. Bloomberg (not a hotbed of liberalism) came out with an analysis today that shows with math..yeah, I know the right doesn’t believe in math….that government spending under Obama has grown slower than under any repub president since fricking Eisenhouwer…yep, that’s right the right’s biggest spender in the “history of the country” is just another lie and the percentage of spending to GDP is lower under Obama than under Reagan, Bush 1 and 2, or even Nixon…so, the next time they say big spender just think “another lie” and you will have it right….no wonder the president no longer cares to work with the right…they do nothing but lie, and lie, and lie all of the time…started with Clinton and continues to this day….geez…
