Well…it just came across the news that the idiot trump has agreed to re-open the government for three weeks without funding for his stupid wall…and I am surprised that no one understands the real reason for this about face…could it be the arrest of Roger Stone today and the need of the idiot to get it out of the news as soon as possible? We all know that trump sees the entire world only as it relates to him…he does not give a shit about opening the government or about the damage his shutdown has done…he just needs another distraction from the tightening noose that the Stone charging papers have put around his neck…that Stone was directed to break the law by high officials in the trump campaign and the only ones he dealt with were Steve Bannon and trump…that’s why this shutdown announcement of the past few minutes is just a distraction to get the news talking about anything other than Roger Stone and his arrest and role in helping Russia install trump. Impeach….

Going left…
Well…one of the things I’ve noticed with the latest batch of dems elected last fall is that most of them were elected by running on true progressive ideas like healthcare for all and everyone paying their fair share in taxes along with protecting the dignity and rights of all Americans, and that means everyone, not just the chosen ones that the repubs think deserve representation. I am hoping this drives the final stake in the notion that you can’t win elections other than by moving to the center…but the center is where ideas go to die and you just get repub lite that can’t really move this country forward…but, I hesitate to label these ideas as left since they are only labeled that by the repubs trying to smear them and make them the “other” that they are so good at demonizing. What this new wave of progressivism is is just a returning to the values that made this country great…it is a rejection of the hate and division that the repubs have used to motivate their nativist, racist base and an embrace of the diversity that has always made this country better…and that goes for immigrants, the LGBT community, the poor and the marginalized…that is who this new group is fighting for…and for honesty and governing for the protection of all Americans and the clean air and water they need to thrive. My only advice to this new generation of dems is go left…and be proud to be a progressive dem since those ideas are American ideas that most of the country supports…go get ’em….
Clothing is speech…
Well…have been searching around for a topic for today and it just popped into my head that maybe I should talk about clothing…specifically, clothing that has a message on it, and the fallout that comes from the message it sends. In the news lately, we have the Covington Catholic school boys who were filmed harassing a Native American man while wearing MAGA hats…and justifying the hats by saying they are just hats and a fad in their community. Yeah, right…those particular hats are connected to the racism, misogyny, and hatred that the idiot trump spouts every day…and I agree that they ARE the new white hoods like those worn by the KKK to terrorize AA’s throughout our history…they are just modernized versions of those hoods and are meant for the same things…to intimidate people who are not straight, white, and christian…and these kids understand that…especially when videos have surfaced of other kids from CC in blackface screaming at an opposing black basketball player…and not one damn adult is saying anything to them…no teacher, no administrator, no parent thought there was anything wrong with it. As it was in the 70’s when those of us opposed to the Vietnam war wore peace signs on our clothing and through today when we wear articles that support women’s rights…clothing can send a message either of peace or of hate…and a MAGA hat sends just that message of hate…it’s not ironic as some defenders of the CC kids have tried to assert…it is just about hate and white privilege…things that are acceptable to the CC community…and to way too many others in this country….
When historians write…
Well…have been thinking of this a bit lately with the destruction being done to this country…when historians write about what caused the demise of America, the one answer is going to be Mitch McConnell. That’s it…everything bad that is happening is all because idiot boy Mitch cares nothing about democracy or this country…the government could be open right now if he would let the bill that passed unanimously a few weeks back to be reintroduced since it had a veto-proof majority in the senate and the same in the house…all he has to do is just let the vote happen but he won’t for some reason…oh, hell, we all know the reason…just because he can and he is an asshole…when the obituary of this country is written the cause of death is McConnell and nothing else…how can anyone hate this country so much? Impeach…
It’s time to strike…
Well….with the idiot trump’s government shutdown going into it’s 5th week, I think the best way to end it is to just get all of the workers who are working without pay to go out on strike until the asshole in chief gets the point. Imagine the chaos if all of the air traffic controllers just decided they were done working for free and walked off the job…the shutdown would end this afternoon and without idiot boy’s stupid, racist wall…the head of the controllers union was in the news this morning trying to tell McConnell and the idiot that his workers have reached the breaking point and in just a few days they are going to have no choice but to leave their jobs to try to save their houses and families…and the even more ominous fact is that they are currently working with 30% less permanent staff than they need and the long hours and stress are chewing these folks up leaving many of them no choice but to find other work…and, how easy is it going to be to fill these high stress jobs when there is always the threat from the repubs that they will shut the government again and they will have to work without pay for an extended period? Who in their right mind would take any job if their prospective boss told them that there was good likelihood that they would be working without pay at least once a year? I guess this has been a repub goal for the past 30 years or so…to make government service suck so badly that it would collapse under it’s own weight…after all, who really needs air traffic controllers, or USDA food inspectors, or the CDC, or the Coast Guard? Impeach,….
It’s Ann Coulter’s fault…
Well…how bad of a person do you have to be to revel in the fact that almost two million people are out of work because you’re an asshole? That’s exactly what Ann Coulter is doing today after her attack on the idiot trump made him abandon a deal that would have kept the government open and 800,000 federal workers plus over a million contractors working….my question is: who made her president? That’s how trump is acting…that spineless baby who is squatting in the WH caved to this right wing harpy who screeched that trump was weak if he didn’t close down the government to get his stupid, racist wall…I don’t get how bowing to this moron makes trump look stronger…it just makes him look like he is so damn needy for approval that he is ready to do any damage he can just to keep Coulter and Hannity happy…and the rest of other repubs do nothing either..,.they are so scared of the myth of their base and losing a primary that they stand by and let Coulter manipulate trump…if she can do it, why don’t they understand that anyone can and has done it? All of the repubs are traitors, let’s just say it…and they all need to go…how ugly does your soul have to be to be Ann Coulter? The blackest one I have ever seen….impeach…
I know what Nancy’s doing…
Well…with rumors that idiot boy is willing to compromise to get his wall and that Nancy is going to get relief on DACA and TPS for it, I don’t like the idea that she compromises at all with the idiot trump…but I know what she’s doing, I think…look, none of us in the reality based world want one penny spent on this stupid wall…but what Nancy understands and what trump doesn’t is that any wall that can be started, can be stopped by the next administration…and it will take them 6-9 months to get the contract let and approved…with almost 60% of voters polled saying they won’t vote for a repub for president in 2020, Nancy knows we are going to have complete control of the government and one of the things she will be doing is cleaning up the repubs mess…and that will include getting rid of the idiot’s wall…and in the long game, she can let idiot boy have his face saving “win” when she wants to get the government open now and end the pain to the 800,000 workers who have been affected. So, don’t get on her too hard for dealing with the asshole…it’s 11 dimension chess to trump’s chutes and ladders…and she is going to win for all of us….impeach…
The end is coming…
Well…cripes, this is what I get from watching Gotham and The Orville last night instead of watching Rachel…a bombshell report from Buzzfeed lays it out that there is testimony and evidence that the idiot trump told Michael Cohen to lie to congress about his trump tower project in Moscow that trump constantly lied about and said he had “no business in Russia”. So, what does this mean? To me, and to everyone else who is not a repub, it means that it is clear that idiot boy suborned perjury…meaning that he directed someone to lie on his behalf…and the second part of that is that this is clear obstruction of justice that has nothing to do with the Mueller investigation but is in addition to it…this also lays bare the leverage that Putin had on trump after trump lied and lied and lied on the campaign trail and even after he was installed as president…and it is exactly the crime that Cohen is going to prison for for more than 3 years. Now we know why trump has been kissing Putin’s ass for so long and why he has destroyed our middle east foreign policy to help Putin…he was scared that Putin would reveal that he was a criminal, and this is just normal spycraft for the Russians that they have used for years and Putin is an expert at it. So, the end is finally coming and I expect there will be articles of impeachment filed before the end of the month or idiot boy will resign…but, this won’t be the end for trump…Pence may pardon him for federal crimes, but there are so many state investigations going on of trump and his businesses that it appears he will spend the rest of his life in prison…along with his children who are neck deep in all of this, too…good riddance…impeach…
Millions more Dem voters…
Well…with the rest of the stupidity that the repubs are famous for lately, they just aren’t recognizing what the shutdown is doing for their electoral chances in 2020. There are many, many districts across the country that the repubs barely won even though the lied, cheated, and stole through gerrymandering that are now going to be in play with the millions of people are being screwed by the idiot trump’s government shutdown having any sort of memory. That includes turtle McConnell who is still counting on the calculus that his base is enough to get him re-elected…but he is just flat wrong. The media is now starting to finally shitcan the both siderism that has allowed the adults on the left to be equated with the idiots on the right and our side is starting to understand that you can’t deal with the repubs…they just need to be destroyed for the good of the country and idiot boy is helping with that destruction due to his ignorance an stupidity. We just need to stay strong and united in opposing the Russiafication of this country by the repub traitors…and impeach the sonofabitch as soon as possible….and welcome these new voters to our side and let them know that we are the party that values the dignity of work and workers…and will protect them when the repubs won’t…impeach…
Nancy shivs the idiot…
Well…to everyone who didn’t want Nancy Pelosi as speaker of the house after last fall’s election, the only thing I have to say is open your eyes an watch a master at work. Yesterday, Nancy sent a letter to idiot boy saying that trump’s State of the Union address should be postponed until after the shutdown is over due to “security” concerns with many of the people who would be responsible out on furlough due to the shutdown. Now, this is just a masterstroke and uses the speaker’s power in a new and novel way to make the point that trump is not the one in control anymore…and that he is not getting a dime for his damn, racist wall any time soon. One neat little point that was made in the letter was that, historically, there has never been a SOTU address during a shutdown…and she even stressed the fact that most of the SOTU reports were done by letters until the 20th century…basically saying that trump could do the same thing. Now, taking away idiot boy’s chance to be the center of attention is just the best response that could have been given to the narcissistic asshole for the damage his shutdown is having on the country and I applaud Nancy for playing hardball with him….he just doesn’t understand that things have changed and his bullyboy ways just aren’t going to go anymore…get the popcorn….
