It’s all just vanity…

Well…I know you’ve all heard the stories of how people have tried and tried and tried to get trump to learn anything, with the head of the naval war college going so far as saying that he thinks that trump has a learning disability and a mental block that doesn’t allow him to take in any facts or data that are in conflict with his “beliefs” on any issue, whether or not his “beliefs” are driven by delusion on the idiot’s part…what I think is that idiot boy knows or has started to realize that his inability to perform his job is making him look bad and his vanity is driving him to reject intelligence or reality just to relieve the cognitive dissonance that this creates. Now, we all know trump is not bright enough to understand cognitive dissonance….remember one of his college professors who stated bluntly that trump was by far the the dumbest student he ever had? But, you don’t have to understand CD to react to it’s effects…oh, and if you’re wondering, yes, I do have a degree in psychology so I understand the terms I’m commenting on…it all comes back to the inflated self worth that trump displays every day that has no basis in reality…but his construct of the false reality needs to be supported by his delusions of success…and thinking he knows more than anyone about everything is all just part of his vanity that has been on display his entire life….let’s impeach the MF before he kills us all…cripes…

Boycott the super bowl…

Well…we all know by now that trump lies, and lies and lies…and he is constantly given tv time to spew them every damn day…and today, the owners of the teams in the NFL are giving him another platform to lie to America with a captive audience at the Super Bowl. From what I’ve read, reporters who have seen the text of the filmed segment, the whole thing is just more of his racist bullshit where he will try to convince people that there is a “crisis” at our southern border when everyone in this country other than trump and his cronies know that’s a blatant lie…and he is going to use this lie filled screed to attack Nancy Pelosi since she has told him there is never going to be money for his damn, stupid wall….never mind that this is not the place for that sort of bullshit, I blame the trump loving owners for allowing this asshole to pollute the airwaves with his racist bullshit…so I, for one will not take part in it…I am going to boycott the Super Bowl and I think every other progressive in this country should, too…we don’t need to reward the NFL and the owners for supporting this corrupt, lying asshole….impeach…

Hypocrisy…are you surprised?

Well…I know there are a lot of things happening in politics right now dealing with the controversy in in Virginia where the dem governor is accused of racist behavior and, to our sides credit, everyone from Pelosi on down have called for his resignation….but the thing that pisses me off is everyone on the right is doing the same thing…let’s get this straight right off…to me, any racist behavior no matter when it was by any candidate or politician is disqualifying…no grey area there at all…so I do think Northam should resign….but to see the “good folks” on the right clamoring for his resignation when they continue to give Steve King, Louie Gohmert, and the idiot boy trump a pass on even worse things they do every day is the worst kind of hypocrisy….and anyone on the right can just shut the hell up and let us handle it…and that’s another difference…on the left, we DO handle it…no one gets a pass, no one gets a smirk and a wink when they do something wrong…we have accountability on our side…how about you repubs? Clean up your own house before you open your mouths…geez…

Stupid people…climate is not weather…

Well…there are a bunch of memes going round out there about the polar vortex cold we’ve been having in the midwest over the past week or so and a lot of them show Lake Michigan freezing in one frame and then scenes from “the Day After Tomorrow” disaster film where the oceans freeze in the other…and they invariable try to use the cold weather as proof that climate change isn’t happening…and this crap is an ignorant right wing staple that starts with the idiot trump and winds it’s way through fox news and into the quite stupid trump followers. Hey, stupid people…weather is not climate…they are not the same thing and if you think climate change is not happening, give someone in Australia a call…and ask them about how hot it is this winter down under…..every damn record for high temps has been broken this winter all across Australia and most people there understand that this is not just weather that will change, as ours is here…when it is going to be 50 degrees with thunderstorms Monday…but it is long term, human caused climate change that will make a lot of Australia uninhabitable. Yes, it has been cold here…but any one weather event is just that…weather…which can be affected by climate change but no one that understands science would ever base conclusions on a sample size of one…something the science deniers on the right always do…just dumber than a box of rocks…geez…

Where are the jobs now?

Well…if you’ve read the news out of Wisconsin over the past year, you would have seen the idiot walker and the double idiot trump wielding their golden shovels at a groundbreaking for a manufacturing plant for Foxconn, a Chinese company whose previous claim to fame is that they make most of Apple’s I-phones and the working conditions at it’s plants are so terrible that they had to put up anti-suicide nets to keep their workers from throwing themselves off the roof. trump has been touting the plant as evidence of his dealmaking prowess and this has been joined by the repubs in Wisconsin who gave Foxconn over 3 billion dollars to buy their plant for them but guess what? As of yesterday, Foxconn has said nevermind…they are not going to build a plant or hire the 15,000 people they promised….it was all just a scam and one that Foxconn has pulled in multiple locations across the world and in the US. I wonder how the idiot trump is going to spin this one? The people of Wisconsin are already on the hook for site improvements like roads, sewers, and electricity to the site and there are hundreds of families who had their property seized for this debacle who can’t go back to the nice little small town that is no longer there….and the repubs still don’t give a damn…they specifically set the whole deal up with walker and his cronies so there would be no consequences to Foxconn or anyone else involved in the “project” if it failed…they won’t fund the schools there since they claim poverty but they have hundreds of millions to invest in this scam…this is normal repub bullshit folks and they all need to go…impeach…

These new polls are making me laugh…

Well….just a shorty on some news that I just read a few minutes ago that made me laugh out loud…the question that was asked was “would you vote for trump in the next election” and the answers kind of made my faith in the American people re-kindle….almost 60% of the people asked said they would not vote for trump…and that was confirmed with another poll that said basically the same thing that 56% of those asked would not vote for trump and only 28% said they would…so his hold on his “base” is slipping and the rest of the country have had enough of the idiot boy and want him to just go away…and that makes me smile…can’t wait for the perp walk when he is indicted and arrested when he’s out of office…impeach…

Who would you believe?

Well…the stupident keeps getting more and more stupid as each day goes on…the latest is a spat with the entire intelligence service of the US after they testified in the Senate yesterday that all of the things that trump said are great accomplishment by him in foreign policy are all just he delusions of a sub-standard mind. The heads of all of the agencies agreed that Iran is not pursuing nuclear weapons, that North Korea is never going to give up it’s nuclear program, that ISIS is not defeated, and the withdrawal of troops from Syria is a huge mistake…all things that idiot boy has used as talking points to puff himself up but the reality is that his stupid, toddler moves have made ISIS and Iran stronger…and anyone with a brain can see that. That is one thing that trump has never been accused of, having a brain that is, and he showed that with tweets this morning where he attacked his own intelligence service heads as being “naive” and implying that he knows more than they do…that is something that almost everyone knows is not true since trump really is the stupident…the question that needs to be asked is who do you believe? Intelligence professionals or the dumbest person on the face of the planet? I know who I believe…impeach…

Geez…trump is stupid…

Well…with the cold weather that is hitting the midwest, of course the stupident has to bleat out that it’s the coldest weather in history (it’s not) and then goes on to say that we could sure use some global warming right now…geez trump is stupid…and trying to score points with the idiot climate change deniers by his smug assed tweet. Okay, I’ll explain this one more time…as the arctic warms, from human action and burning fossil fuels, it disrupts the jet stream which then allows the polar vortex to split, this time into three parts that then results in cold air that would normally stay at the poles crashing down into the lower latitudes….the warming of the arctic has de-stabilized the weather patterns, making for large swings in temperatures…after this bitter cold, it is going to be 40 and raining Sunday…just showing how unstable the climate has become. But, as we know…the idiot trump only gets his “news” from fox and there must have been a denier or two on there this morning and trump just had to weigh in like a 5 year old…nope, a 5 year old in kindergarten knows more than trump….he is the most stupid person on the face of the Earth…impeach…

There is no center anymore…

Well…with the announcement the Howard Schultz, the ex CEO of Starbucks, is thinking about running for president as a “centrist”  independent since he has the delusion that there is no difference between the idiot trump and the normal people on our side who have announced they are running. For some reason, he thinks that there is this huge pool of voters that still exist in the center of the political spectrum that he can tap into to get elected…I have news for you, Howie, there is no center anymore…if you look at what propelled the dems to victory in 2018, is sure wasn’t centrist bullshit that you are spouting, that you can compromise with the repubs and that they have the good of the country at heart…open your damn eyes, Howie…there is not one damn repub that negotiates in good faith anymore and the only way to get this country back on the right path is not repub light…it is the progressive policies and ideas that our candidates ran on…like healthcare for all and honesty in government…and government that works for everyone not just the 1%. So, Howie, just go back to you summer home and your yachts…if you run, you will put trump back in the WH since some deluded people will vote for you and it will split the vote and let trump win…or, is that your plan? Impeach….

Labor deserves some thanks, too…

Well…now that the idiot trump has been slapped down by Nancy Pelosi both by depriving him his SOTU and by saying no to his stupid border wall and getting the government back open, there is another group that deserves some thanks, too…and that is the good folks who labor every day to keep this country running who just said enough of working without pay and stopped air travel on the East coast. This was the straw that got the repubs back to negotiating and shows us the path forward if this ever happens again…and one of the things we need to do as dems is to give labor and unions all  of the support we can on every issue since it is the right thing to do…and will be a huge factor in recreating the middle class in this country. We are all in this re-construction together and we need to welcome all groups who want to be part of it even it they have different ideas of how to get things done…and we do need to get things done, we need to start to repair the damage that the repubs have done over the past 40 years and make sure that everyone has a chance…not just the rich and entitled…and we need to get ready for 2020 when we can use our popular message to win and transform this country…that starts now…
