Well…if you didn’t already know, after the Nassar sex abuse scandal at Michigan State…former governor John Engler was brought in to try to fix the problems that allowed the scandal to happen…at the outset, I was aghast that they would bring that asshole in to try to fix anything…in his 8 years as governor, Engler did nothing but attack his “enemies” and reward his cronies and try to sow division across the state so he could take political advantage of what he created. I was directly involved in some of his bullshit when meeting in his office in my role as a parent lobbyist for the Kentwood school system where he tried to play the urban and suburban school districts against each other. He flat out lied to us face to face about what the effects of Proposal A would be on schools in Michigan and laughed at our concern for our kids. So now, people are surprised that his doing the same thing at State where he has said that the sexual abuse victims were “enjoying the spotlight” that was focused on one of the biggest abuse crimes in the state’s history. I agree with MSU board member Brian Mosallam when he said that “John Engler’s reign of terror is over” and I hope it is…what a useless excuse for a human being Engler is…

Getting rid of federal workers is the point…
Well…I think one of the things that people are missing with the misdirection that the government shutdown is all about the wall is that repubs hate the federal government and workers in general…and this is their way of permanently getting rid of these workers to help pay for the tax cuts they lavished on the rich and business. They don’t care if the government works and they don’t care if they hurt the people who make it work…and their base is all on board with it since they are hurting the people they hate…and believe trump’s lies that all of the people who work for the government are dems so making them work or go without pay is perfectly fine and what they deserve. I wonder if this country can survive until 2020 when we can rid ourselves of these assholes? If they think that shutting down the government is just fine and there will be no economic fallout from it, they are just the dumbest people on the face of the Earth…but the political fallout will be much, much worse for the repubs when every ad in the 2020 campaign will hang this shutdown around their necks…and maybe, just maybe, this will be the thing that cuts through the right wing bubble and starts people moving back into the reality based world….for their sake, I hope it is…impeach….
I’m not surprised…
Well…with the revelations from the NYT article Friday night that the idiot trump has been under counter intelligence investigation since there is ample evidence that he is a Russian plant being given orders by Putin, we now have the additional facts that trump has been trying to keep secret what was said in the 5 meetings he has had with Putin since he was installed…going so far as to rip the notes out of his interpreters hands and threatening her not to talk to anyone in his own administration what was said in those meetings. Now, I’m not surprised…trump is so damn corrupt and is clearly being controlled by Putin that he had to do this or Putin wouldn’t have been able to give him his orders…and this is in addition with what was reported just yesterday about the WH meeting with the Russians after trump fired Comey…that Putin TOLD trump to meet with his people in no uncertain terms. I have lost hope that the repubs will do anything about trump even though he is destroying this country since they are all guilty of taking Russian money for their campaigns laundered through the NRA…so it’s up to us to rid this country of all of them in 2020…and to resist every damn one of them until then….impeach…
Is this enough?
Well…how big of a damn bombshell do the repubs need before they remove the Russian plant from the White House? It was revealed yesterday that the FBI has had a counter-intelligence investigation going on the idiot trump since he fired Comey and has spent the first two years of his term basically doing everything that Putin and Russia want…and the NYT laid out the reasons for the probe yesterday in a piece that speculates and seemingly proves that trump was installed by Russia and continues to do their bidding. The scary part of this whole story is that is shows that trump is owned by Russia, but that’s not all…the former FBI agents that commented on the news yesterday stressed that what the NYT reported is just the tip of the iceberg and there is much, much more to this story than the information they have…and Mueller has all of it….the ball is in your court, repubs…what the hell are you going to do about this traitor….you freaked out and wanted to impeach Obama for bowing to the Japanese PM, how about trump giving away the country and the world to Putin? This is why we have to throw every damn one of these traitors out in 2020…they are just as bad as trump…impeach…
Harbor Freight against the wall…
Well…just laughed pretty hard after reading a new article about the latest prototype of the idiot trump’s “steel” wall that has replaced the “big, beautiful” concrete one in his fevered brain….okay, I’m still laughing…you know I really like Harbor Freight and the cheap tools that they sell…and we all know that most of them are throwaways at that price point…but they do work for a little while and that thought came to me when I read that the testers were able to cut a hole in the new steel “wall” prototype in minutes using a cordless angle grinder with a cutoff wheel installed…now, I looked at one of those in the latest catalog from HF that I get sent to me and they are under 10 bucks and the cutoff wheel is only about a buck and a half, so the new, millions of dollars a mile “wall” can be defeated at any point in it’s length by an $11.50 purchase from Harbor Freight….how stupid are trump and his cronies? Okay, didn’t need to ask that…they show it every day…maybe I should buy stock in HF? Impeach….
The real reason for trump on tv…
Well….now we know the real reason for the grifter in chief to go on tv last night with another one of his racist screeds…money…nothing but money…and not for the wall but to fill the coffers of his campaign. Just before he went on, his campaign blasted out an e-mail to his followers telling them they will get on trump’s “nice” list if they send money to a “wall” fund that will allow trump and his cronies to continue to “fight” for the wall…and right after they sent out another e-mail saying there was still time to get on the list and contribute to the “wall” fund if they do it right now. We all know that if the idiot is speaking he is lying…and in the fine print it is revealed that the money is not going to any “wall” fund, but straight into idiot boy’s re-election fund…so now he’s even lying to his base so he can scam more money out of them with the one issue he still has left that mobilizes them…the stupid wall that will never be built. I wonder how he will spin it when the repubs abandon him and pass government funding without the wall? should be fun to watch…impeach…
Ruh, roh…
Well…I wonder if the idiot trump is going to continue screeching “no collusion” after the revelations from today? This afternoon, Paul Manafort’s lawyers filed some paperwork in response to Mueller asserting that Manafort continued to lie to him after he agreed to cooperate fully with his investigation…only one little problem with that paperwork…there was one part that I’m sure they didn’t want to expose…and that was that Manafort went to Madrid to meet with a Russian agent to give him internal polling data from the trump campaign…hmmmm…seems to me that this is the definition of collusion with a foreign power to sway the election since this information WAS used for targeting purposes by the Russian troll farms that were all over social media spreading propaganda that helped trump win. I can’t wait for this question to be asked to trump and his cronies…I’ll bet the answer will be that they don’t know Manafort and even though he was the campaign chair, he didn’t really have anything to do with the campaign….impeach this son of a bitch already…geez…
Lying liars…
Well…everyone knows that the idiot trump is the biggest liar in the history of the world, and now the media is helping him lie some more by broadcasting an 8 minute screed tonight on the “crisis” at the Mexican border….one that only he and his idiot followers believe. Let’s look at the truth…using the government’s own statistics, it is clear that there has been a net outflow of undocumented people back to Mexico for over three years now, so what’s the “crisis”? What does idiot boy want to accomplish by lying to try to get his wall? To keep the rest of the undocumented people from Mexico from going home? I have had enough of the stupident trying to spend my taxes on a vanity project that only his rabid base of racist morons wants and that can never be built…do you think the people of Texas will stand still when he starts to use eminent domain to take their land for the stupid wall? Not going to happen and the news media needs to start calling him out on it…and on his litany of lies…tonight is as good a time as any…get on it media…impeach…
Perjury, perjury, perjury…
Well…just read with a little glee in my head that Adam Schiff, the new chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, has offered to work with Robert Mueller to determine if anyone who testified to the committee while it was under repub control committed perjury and if they were protected by the repub majority while doing it. Can you say jail time Don jr.? Schiff has said that he will provide the transcripts of all of the testimony before the committee to Mueller as soon as possible…something that the repubs conspired with trump and his cronies to prevent and that is going to put Kushner in jeopardy, too, since it is already clear that almost everyone who testified lied…including Jeff Sessions. So, the immunity that these asses felt is now gone, and Schiff is going to make it clear to everyone that lying to congress is a crime that will be prosecuted…after all, that is one of the counts that Michael Cohen is going to jail for…perp walk, perp walk, perp walk….
Is spouting Russian propaganda enough?
Well….at least trump didn’t wear a tan suit, huh? Okay…just a little attempt at humor about the absurdity of the repubs over the past 20 years or so…but, that’s not what this one is about..did anyone else notice that the idiot trump has been spouting Russian propaganda for the past two years? Rachael did a great segment on that last night that I’m sure is available on youtube….but, here’s the gist…just over the past few days, idiot boy has started to spout the Russian revisionist history attempt to change the reason they invaded Afghanistan in the late 70’s, saying that it was to fight terrorism instead of the real reason for the invasion…that they were there to prop up the puppet communist government they had installed there…and no president ever has believed that it was anything but an attempt to spread communism across the world. But not trump, in a cabinet meeting the other day, he puked up the Russian line word for word saying that the Russians were “right” to invade. This is not the only time or topic he has done Putin’s bidding since he was installed…when Montenegro was considering joining NATO, trump echoed the Kremlin’s line that they were going to start World War three if they were admitted…and this after it was revealed that Russian intelligence agents paid for and tried to instigate a coup to overthrow the government to keep them from joining since it is one of Putin’s biggest goals to destroy NATO and eliminate it’s counterbalance to Putin in Europe. Now, one of the questions I have for the new dem controlled House is “where did he get these talking points and who gave them to him?” Is there a Russian agent with direct access to idiot boy? Okay, repubs…is this enough for you to do something and support these investigations? Putin got his “useful idiot” in the WH and leaving him there is a danger to our country that needs to be removed…impeach…
