Well…if it wasn’t embarrassing enough to just have trump alive on the Earth and from the US, the idiot trump seems to be trying to be the most ridiculous world “leader” there has ever been. As you know, yesterday the idiot hid out in his hotel room instead of going to a memorial for fallen soldiers, saying that it was raining and if he couldn’t use our helicopters, he wasn’t going to go…after all, pulling up in a car doesn’t fluff his ego like one of our helicopters does and we all know he can’t work an umbrella anyway…and today, while the rest of the world’s leaders were walking down the Champs Elysees to show their solidarity and support for veterans across the world, trump was nowhere to be found…it appears that the “healthiest president in history” can’t walk a half mile…cripes he almost can’t walk up or down stairs without falling…I’ll bet the rest of the real world leaders were glad he wasn’t there…after all, they all know he is a lying idiot and talking to him is basically worthless so why would they want him there? Just another case where the idiot in chief has embarrassed us all…impeach…

Imagine if Obama skipped a veteran’s ceremony..
Well…idiot boy trump sank to another new low today when he was supposed to join Macron and Merkel to lay wreaths at a WWI memorial in France to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the end of the war…but, it was raining so trump just skipped it…yep, you heard that right…it was raining so the whiner in chief just blew off the ceremony to stay in his warm hotel room and rage tweet about the California wildfires…that’s for another one…let’s just go to the tapes and see if Obama ever skipped a veteran’s honor ceremony because it was raining and he didn’t want to get wet…yeah, you and I both know the answer to that one…Obama respected the sacrifice our fallen veterans made and getting a little wet while doing it is a small price to pay. Now, I can imagine why trump didn’t want to go….he didn’t want to world to see that pile of shit he calls hair get wet…oh, and we all know he doesn’t know how to work an umbrella and we have the tapes to prove that. What a rotten excuse for a human being idiot boy is…how about it repubs? Where’s your tan suit outrage now? Impeach….
Count the damn votes….
Well…the damn repubs are at it again, trying to steal elections in Georgia, Florida, and Arizona by suing to stop the counting of votes in each state since their candidates are ahead so far. So, now what’s next? They want to stop counting votes in any elections where their guys are ever ahead? Hell…it worked for them when GW was installed by the SC so why not try it again? This is not democracy…in a functioning democracy every damn vote is counted and the election is not over until they are…the howls that are coming from the idiot trump and his minions are the worst kind of projection when they scream that the dems are “creating” votes out of thin air…are they pissed that their voter suppression didn’t work this time? I have had enough of this crap….we did a good job this election of turning out our side but I guess now the rule is (according to the repubs) that if you don’t win in a landslide, you didn’t win…only repubs can win close elections and dems are “un-American” if they want all votes counted…Orwell would have understood these assholes and their doublespeak and lies…impeach….
Don’t worry about Mueller…
Well…if you’re looking with alarm at the moves that the idiot trump has made in the past day to try to stop the Mueller investigation into his criminality by firing Sessions and installing a toady in his place, just stop…don’t worry about Mueller, the dems taking the house has ensured that the investigation will continue until it’s end but the idiot trump is still thinking like he has protection from his cronies in the House…got news for you, idiot…you are screwed. There are already plans in place to have Mueller appear in the house for a live hearing on the day the dems take over if trump does any more in his long running crime of obstruction of justice…and, understand this idiot boy, the act of firing Sessions in this context puts another nail in your coffin…and you are just too damn stupid to understand it. So, don’t worry about Mueller, with the dems in charge in January, there are going to be so many investigations that all of trump’s crimes are going to come to light…and he’s going to jail after he’s out of the WH…bet on that…impeach…
I should be dancing…
Well….with the results trickling in, it appears that the dems had a pretty good night last night with taking back control of the House and Whitmer winning the governor’s race here in Michigan, I should be dancing but I’m not sure why I still feel a sense of unease about the election…part of that is the fact the the repubs gained a couple of senate seats even though the dems got 10 million more votes across the country. That is a direct result of the repubs rigging the election and that will continue until we take back the senate in 2020…an election I may not even see. Yep, kind of depressed this morning and I don’t know why…I should be dancing at the fact that Scott Walker lost in Wisconsin…I should be dancing that Dana Rohrbacher, Putin’s buddy in the house, lost and will be gone….I should be dancing that the notorious vote suppressor and racist Kris Kobach lost in Kansas…and I should be dancing that all three proposals passed here in Michigan and the 2020 re-districting will be fair and out of reach of the repub gerrymanders that have allowed them to win this state with much less of the vote than the dems got in every election since 2010. I think part of my sadness this morning is that many right wing repub assholes still got elected even though they are under indictment or investigation for things that any dem would have resigned over but the repubs treat as a badge of honor….oh, well…at least there will be no more repub nonsense here in Michigan and look forward to taking both the state senate and house when the fair maps are used in 2020…then the state can move forward again…I can hope anyway…
Scott Walker needs to lose today…
Well…just a shorty on a news article that just came across my phone…one of the idiot Scott Walker’s biggest arguments for his re election is that he lured Foxconn (the Chinese electronics manufacturer) to Wisconsin and they were going to create over 15,000 jobs for the 4.1 billion dollars in state subsidies they were given by idiot boy. Almost immediately after Walker made that commitment, as Foxconn always does, the project started to change along with the number of jobs that Foxconn promised…and over the course of the year since Walker signed the check, the jobs projected have continued to shrink…it’s now down to “around” 5,000 jobs and the integrated engineering center that Foxconn promised to build as part of the project has morphed into renting a couple of buildings to house a tiny engineering staff. The kicker in the whole thing? Foxconn has just applied to the feds to be allowed to bring in the entire engineering staff from China since they can’t “find” any qualified engineers in the US…and by “find” that means any engineers that are willing to work for the slave wages that Foxconn is willing to pay. How does that 4.1 billion subsidy look now Wisconsinites? How does that 250,000 dollar subsidy for every job look now? Walker has been able to con everyone in Wisconsin for years that he and his repub cronies are the only ones who can create jobs but, at 250,000 per job, a monkey could create these jobs…and it is not clear if any jobs will ever be created there since Foxconn has a long history of promising the moon and then delivering nothing as they slink away with the subsidy cash. Today, Wisconsin, you have the chance to send Walker packing…don’t screw it up…geez…
Get out and vote…
Well…today’s the day I have been both looking forward to and dreading for months…it’s election day here in the US and it could be the most important election in the history of this country…and that is not hyperbole…if you want to stop the country’s slide into fascism and put and end to the damage the repubs have done over the past two years….get out and vote…if you want to stop the idiot trump’s agenda…that is to say the agenda of the 1%, get out and vote….if you want to start to fix the damage that the repubs have done to Michigan, get out and vote….if you want to hold politicians accountable, get out and vote…oh, did I day get out and vote? Today is the day we can re instate the rule of law in this country but only if you vote…and vote for dems up and down the ticket….so get the hell out and vote…l will be at around 10…and I have cocktails to either celebrate starting the political repair process or to mourn the death of the US….
Might be the last election one…
Okay…have been following the election a little closer that I should be but, with a chance to end the repub nightmare both in Michigan and across the country, it is really important to know what is going on. Here in Michigan, the polling is showing some good news for those of us who are tired of the repub scams and just want the chance for our state to work for everyone, not just corporations and the rich. All three proposals are ahead with more than double digit leads that I’m hoping will hold for two more days…but I am a little concerned that the DeVos’s are pouring huge amounts of money into defeating the redistricting and making it easier to vote proposals (numbers 2 and 3) that would make their money irrelevant, or make it less relevant and prevent them from buying the government like they have since at least 2010. The ads they are running are just full of lies and decry that it could cost the state 10 million dollars every 10 years to run the commission that would draw the new district lines…but, my response is that it is a cheap price to ensure that no political party can hijack our state again and implement policies like right to work that only a small sliver of the residents want. The governor’s race is still looking good for us with Whitmer up around 8 points or so in the latest aggregate of the polls done late last week and that looks good for us to get rid of Schuette permanently…any time we can make another trump lover go away it is a good day…and another good sign is that Schuette has cancelled ad buys this past week…ensuring that he at least walks away with cash when he loses….there is a possibility of picking up some seats both in the Michigan house and senate but there is not much polling out there to comment on so I won’t…let’s just say that with a dem governor, there will be a brake on any more repub shennanigans and we should be able survive until 2020 when we will take back the entire government here with the implementation of Prop2…it can’t come too soon….
Vote for Debbie…
Well…There is just one race left that I wanted to talk about before the election Tuesday and that is the one senate seat that is up for a vote…now, there is really no choice to be made here….the only person to vote for is Debbie Stabenow, who has devoted her entire life to serving the people of Michigan…both in the Michigan legislature and for the past two terms as one of our US senators. I have worked with Debbie in the past when I was a parent lobbyist for the Kentwood schools during the Prop A fight and found her to be dedicated to what is best for the people of Michigan, not for the rich or corporations like her challenger has already admitted is his focus. So, let’s not elect another trump clone to do more damage than has already been done and let’s send a good senator back to continue the great work she has done for all of the citizens of Michigan.
The proposals…
Well…as I said yesterday, with my medical procedure taking me out of commission Sunday and Monday, I am going to try to get to all of the politics that I would normally deal with on the day before the election. So, let’s start with the proposals on the ballot here in Michigan…oh, and these proposals are citizen led and deal with the fact that the repub cheaters that control the state don’t care what the people want…they just care about their donors and the rich so the people of the state took these important issues into their own hands and got the hundreds of thousands of signatures that put them on the ballot. Proposal one deals with making marijuana for personal, recreational use legal in the state…taxed and regulated like alcohol and the tax money will go towards many programs that the repubs have decimated in recent years. I have to agree that this one should be passed for no other reason than the damage the prohibition has done to the state and it’s residents…locking up thousands of people (and very disproportionately people of color) for possessing a plant that has been demonized for political purposed since it was first made illegal in the 30’s. Proposal 2 would create an independent committee to draw the state’s legislative districts, taking the control out of the hands of politicians (the repubs) who always cheat since they can’t win elections if they don’t. This control that the repubs used in last redistricting to cement their control of Michigan even when dems got more than 10% more votes than the repubs in the last election. So, this one is a yes if you think fair elections are necessary for a fair society. Really the only thing you need to know about prop 2 is that the DeVos family is spending millions to defeat it since they will no longer be able to buy the legislature if the districts are fair. Proposal 3 also deals with voting rights and makes it easier for people to register and vote…another thing that the repubs are against since they only want white repubs to vote and have done their best to make sure it stays that way even though the state is much more diverse than their power base here in West Michigan. So, a yes vote on every proposal will make this a much more fair state and get rid of the failed war on drugs….so do it, get out and vote!
