Well…as you remember back when the great repub tax scam was being rammed through congress without any scoring by the CBO, I told you that the reason the repubs were using to sell it, that it would raise wages for workers, was just a blatant lie…the only thing that was going to happen was the rich were going to get much, much richer and the deficit was going to explode…I think you can guess where this is going…yep, real wages that people like you and I earn have fallen almost a half percent in the past year…and the sick thing is that people are working longer hours and their wages are still less than they were last year…so the hourly rate has dropped and people can’t even make up for it by working more hours. Every damn bit of the rise in productivity, and every damn bit of the tax cuts went to the 1%…again, while the 99% of us that have worked for a living are being left even farther behind….I don’t think this is an accident, I think this is the direct result of the repub war on workers that they have been pushing for the past 40 years and they are sitting in their congressional offices rubbing their hands with glee that they have been able to lie, cheat, and steal to reward their rich donors…and they know the ignorant asses that elected them won’t ever catch on since not a bit of this appears on fox news….that makes this fall’s election even more important than normal…we need to take the house and senate back to start to repair the damage the repubs have done to this country….tired of all the winning yet MAGA folks? impeach….

The worst people ever…
Well…getting ready to watch the first Man U match but thought I’d come here and do a shorty first….I can’t believe how unpatriotic every damn person in the repub party is…and the latest is just more of those revelations that show the true, terrible people they are. Just a few days back, it was reported that Betsy DeVos has her 40 million dollar yacht registered in a foreign country to avoid paying the entry fees and other taxes that would accrue if it was registered in the US. This shenanigan allows them to not pay any payroll taxes for the crew, either…and that is just like the rich assholes that infest this country right now…they never pay their share like the rest of us do…they are the real “takers” in this country….the worst people ever….
Lawless republicans…
Well….the swamp keeps getting deeper and deeper with the lawless repubs finding more and more ways to show that they don’t give a damn about the laws of this country. Over the past decade, almost every damn day, there is another instance of repubs thinking that the laws of this country don’t apply to them…only to the little people like you and me. The latest comes from one of trump’s biggest supporters in the House, Chris Collins, a NY rep, was just indicted along with his son and his son’s father in law for insider trading where they used information that Collins got as part of his rep position to short sell an Australian pharma company whose new drug for MS failed in clinical trials…this was done before the information became public and saved them almost 800,000 dollars that they would have lost when the stock tanked. Collins and his family were not the only ones who benefited from this insider trading…there were a half dozen other repub reps that were in on the scheme that haven’t been charged yet…and the sick thing is that the lawbreaking phone call to Collin’s son came from the WH lawn, showing that the repub bleatings about respect for the US and it’s institutions are just BS that they spout to get the rubes to vote for them. Is every damn repub in this government a criminal? It sure looks like it….impeach…
A little politics…
Well…after yesterday’s election, I thought it would be an idea to talk a little about that before I get on to the rest of the day…first up, in the Michigan governor’s race, Gretchen Whitmer won the dem primary over Abdul and Tanedar…could have voted for Abdul with his record of progressive ideas but never for Tanedar…he contributed to Ted Cruz in the 2016 election and is a dem in name only…and he had a bunch of shady deals in his past and we don’t need compromised candidates on our side. Whitmer is up over the repub by 7-8 points in the latest poll and will be our best chance of taking the governor’s office back from the repubs…and I hope we can take one of the houses back here too, and start to repair the damage that Snyder and his cronies have done over the past 8 years. One of the big happenings in Missouri was the passing of proposal A that reversed the repubs attacks on working people by repealing their right to work for less law there…the only purpose of those laws are to attack working people and the unions that made the middle class and I think people are catching on…I hope they try that here, too…I would surely vote to keep the freeloading repubs from hurting unions….last, there was the tussle in Ohio 12 where the dem is still in the running pending the counting of provisional ballots there…this in a district that went for trump by 11 point in ’16 and that the repubs had to pour millions into to basically get a draw…at last count, the repubs outspent the dems by 5-1 and only lead by .7%…so it looks like we have a great chance to take the house this fall…and to start doing the repair work that we dems always have to do after the repubs screw everything up….geez.;…
They really are toxic and it’s spreading…
Well…I know we throw the word toxic around a lot when talking about the idiot trump’s administration…and there is no doubt it is toxic…but now, with new rules just listed by the EPA, that toxicity is going to spread across the US. Just a few days ago, in response to one of trump’s cronies request, the EPA has just said that using asbestos in building supplies is just hunky dory again…never mind that asbestos is one of the most deadly minerals ever mined and almost everyone who comes into contact with it gets mesothelioma that kills them, profit to his cronies is much more important that the lives of US citizens…as you have seen by earlier rule changes at the EPA that are going to kill hundreds of thousands of Americans with the increases of pollution that the EPA is now allowing. So now, the wonders of asbestos are going to inflicted on another generation of Americans just so the rich can get richer..it’s just frickin immoral…but that is the description of trump….impeach…
One little problem for donnie jr….
Well…sitting here trying to get some coffee down and this little thought just popped into my head…donnie jr. has a problem now that his idiot father has admitted that the trump tower meeting was to get “dirt” on Hillary…the little idiot went in front of congress and lied that the meeting was about “adoptions”…now, we know that the repubs won’t do a damn thing about it since they spend most of their time covering for the most lawless administration in the history of the US….but, November is coming and, after the election, he can be referred to the justice department and charges of lying to congress can be pressed….so, it does look like everyone that has been part of this debacle will go to jail…and it can’t happen soon enough…impeach…
Yep, trump really is this dumb…
Well….I am just shaking my head at this one…this morning the idiot came right out and admitted that donnie jr. met in trump tower with Russian agents to get dirt on Hillary…and I’m sure he thinks that just saying that “it’s totally legal and done all the time” will protect him and his demon spawn from Mueller. Yeah, idiot…it’s illegal to take help from any foreign entity to further your campaign….and the dirt on Hillary has value so..yeah, everyone that was there broke the law and then your idiot son called you and told you about it a half hour after the meeting was over…so, you knew about it, too. Now you can see the type of person trump is, willing to throw his own son under the bus to keep Mueller from getting to him…got news for you, idiot…Mueller has all the phone records and your phone number is on it from when little donnie called you…god, can anyone be any dumber than trump? Nope….impeach…
The idiot trump is witness tampering again…
Well…if you’ve been here before, and I hope you have, you’ve heard me impugn the intelligence of the idiot boy many, many times with good reason….and today, in plain sight, trump is witness tampering again. Just today, Hope Hicks was seen getting on trump’s plane for the ride to Ohio where the idiot is holding another “rally”, supposedly to support some candidate for a house seat that appears to be slipping away from the repubs in a bright, red area…but, you know he probably doesn’t even know the name of the person he is supposed to be supporting. Back to the witness tampering….trump has been warned that he can’t talk to a federal witness in the case against him…Hope Hicks in particular, but does the idiot listen? Nope…and I am just shaking my head…it appears that trump is either the dumbest person on the Earth, or he is trying to get thrown out of office…. with this little plane ride, the obstruction of justice evidence against him has gotten stronger and it just made things a lot easier for Mueller…keep it up, donnie…you are going to spend the rest of your life in jail after you’re thrown out of office…and I couldn’t be happier…impeach…
Oh, and Hicks is not too bright to get on that plane, either…it opens her up to obstruction and conspiracy to obstruct charges…geez…what a bunch of idiots…
What is it…a hoax or real?
Well…donny the idiot boy went off again yesterday at a “rally” where he called the idea of Russian interference in our elections a “hoax”, just one day after all of his cabinet stood in front of the cameras in the WH and said they were all working hard to counter the Russians in this election and that yes, there was Russian interference in the last election, too. So, what is it, a hoax or real? We all know the answer to that question and have know it for almost 2 years now…the Russians stole the election for trump and are still interfering now…it’s no damn hoax…so, I wonder who is gonna tell cheeto donnie? Doesn’t anyone else see this as dangerous? That the so-called president continues to ignore that he was installed by the Russians and the repubs continue to support him because he gave them their tax cut? I am so damn tired of this crap…that the repubs continue to put party before their oath to protect this country and the constitution….they all need to go…impeach…
Can’t any of his lawyers tell him to shut his trap?
Well….have been watching the start of the Manafort trial and the idiot trump’s twitter reaction to it and the question comes to me: Can’t any of his lawyers tell him to shut his trap? Ever since the trial has started, idiot boy has been jury tampering and trying even more to obstruct justice by calling the trial a “witch hunt” and continually saying that Mueller is “conflicted” in his investigation. Now, for anyone else in the US who had said and done one tenth of what idiot boy has said and done, there would be charges filed and we would have been treated to a “perp walk” with the big orange idiot heading for jail…I know that Mueller is looking at every tweet and using it to bolster his case of obstruction against trump, but, damn, he needs to do something now before the US is damaged even more by the orange menace. From everything I’ve read about his trial, Manafort is going down….and, as I’ve said before, trump used the same bank fraud and money laundering methods that Manafort did…I wonder if that is why trump is losing his mind over this trial? Hope he does…impeach…
