Well…I’ll bet you never thought you’d ever see a headline like that on one of my posts here, but damn…a clip I just saw made me laugh my butt off. On last night’s show, Hannity went on and on about a report in the NYT that the idiot trump had tried to fire Bob Mueller back in June of last year but the WH counsel wouldn’t do it and threatened to quit if trump went ahead with it, calling it fake news and basically shouting that none of his “sources” had confirmed the report. This was at 9:18 but by 9:58 he was backpedaling so fast his shoes were smoking…and then he did what all of the liars on fox do when caught in their lies, he tried to distract their easily distracted viewers by quick cutting to a car crash…yeah, really, he cuts to a car crash so he didn’t have to continue to talk about the idiot trump’s obstruction of justice. I laughed so hard when I saw the clip today…and I needed that…what a maroon…..

Crumbs for the workers…as always…
Well….everyone but the repubs knew that the great tax giveaway of 2018 would benefit corporations and the 1%, and now we see that we knew what was happening…and the first crumbs are being sprinkled on workers starting with the big banks. and manufacturers. The banks have been crowing that the huge tax cuts they have been given is trickling down on their workers as they announced bonuses to some of their workers of up to $1,000 dollars…but, when you look at the comparison of the size of the tax cuts to the banks, the bonuses that are going to SOME workers are equal to less than 2% of the tax cut that the top 1% is going to get…so this huge tax cut that is going to decimate tax receipts is not going to anyone but the rich…or to put it in the words of a repub senator: “We need to reward our donors or they are going to turn off the money taps”…and that is the problem…many manufacturers and banks have used the tax cuts to finance laying off thousands of workers that they would have kept on without the cuts….again, the result of the shoddy bill that no one knew what it contained….but, there is only one thing you really need to know about the cuts…that the day after the tax cuts passed, Koch industries wrote Paul Ryan a check for $500K …talk about “pay for play”….geez…
The repubs are still working with the Russians…
Well…with the increasingly desperate attempts by the repubs to undermine the Mueller investigation into trump’s conspiracy with the Russians, the latest being the “explosive” memo created out of thin air by Trey Gowdy, one thing has to be remembered…that the Russians are STILL working with the repubs to undermine our democracy. During the campaign to get some traction for the lies in Gowdy’s memo, thousands of Russian bots were active on social media planting fake stories and trying to inflate the importance of the lying memo to undermine Mueller and to get people to believe there is something to the memo…just like the lies that were spread about Hillary’s e-mails by the same Russian bots….now, it is a little too much of a coincidence that thousands of Russian bots would take this effort up independently, so the question that Mueller needs to ask is “who in the repub party is still treasonously working with the Russians to subvert our democracy”….this question is for you, Trey Gowdy and Devin Nunes…you do know this is at least obstruction of justice? Can’t wait for the perp walk for these two….
Media bias?
Well….I know you’re probably tired about anything to do with the fake media bias that the repubs keep harping about, telling everyone all the time that it is biased against the right…well…not really true…but you know that….and all you have to do is look at the coverage of the women’s marches across the country that happened this weekend…from the coverage, you would think that there were 15 or 20 women total at all the marches, and there was absolutely no coverage on the Sunday shows of any of them…yeah…this is the true media bias….over 5 million women and men took to the streets to show their resistance to trump and his cronies and the destruction that continues by their ignorant, mysoginistic policies…and to keep the momentum up for voting in November. So, the next time someone on the right cries media bias, tell them to shut the hell up…I’m tired of hearing it….more later…
Even the banks are turning on Kushner…
Well…in the category of “it couldn’t happen to a nicer guy”…it appears that even the banks are now turning on the idiot Kushner. Yesterday, I read that Deutsche Bank has turned a bunch of evidence on Kushner over to German bank regulators that shows “suspicious” bank transactions done by Kushner or one of his companies….and the bank is going to give the same info to Mueller to aid in his investigation. Now, I can understand why the bank is going after money laundering suspicions…they paid a fine of almost 650 million dollars a couple of years again for closing their eyes to the same type of stuff so I’m pretty sure they don’t want to get burned again. I wonder where that leaves little Jared now? He has been crossing the globe trying to get re-financing for his Park avenue building that he is so upside down on that no one will touch it and it is going to crash and burn the entire family fortune….Jared, just enjoy what little time you have outside of prison…Mueller is coming for you soon….and it can’t be soon enough for me….
Fusion GPS
Well…just read a great article over on Kos about the transcript of the head of Fusion GPS’s testimony to the House committee investigating trump/Russia and it is an eye opener….contrary to the senate transcripts that showed that all the repubs there wanted was to try to smear Fusion and discredit Glenn Simpson, the head of the company, the house committee appeared to be really trying to get to the bottom of the scandal. What we have to remember through all of this is that the author of the Steel dossier was working independently as a contractor and the rest of Fusions research was done by Fusion’s employees….and that staff are experts in financial research. What fusion found was that the idiot trump has been supported by and conspiring with mob figures his entire life…starting with the Italian Mafia when he was younger, and when the FBI destroyed the NY mob he was conspiring with, trump moved on the Russian mob…or the Russian government, since they are one and the same thing…all run by Putin. A couple of points that stuck out to me and that I wrote some about earlier was how Fusion discovered that the Russians have been infiltrating conservative organizations across the country, with the NRA becoming one of the money funnels they used to help steal the election for trump, and that almost all of trump’s money comes from trusts set up by daddy…he never has been the “great businessman” that he brags about all the time. What I get from Simpson’s testimony, that comes from public records only, is that there is plenty of evidence to convict the entire trump crime family, and it is only a matter of time until they are all indicted…and that day can’t come too soon….impeach….
Read the constitution, Tom Cotton…
Well….just read a jaw-dropping article where senator Tom Cotton sent out a cease and desist letter to his constituents to tell them they will be reported to the capitol police if they continue to call him to stop being a lying, racist asshole supporting the lying, racist asshole in the WH. Yeah, I can’t believe it, either….this guy doesn’t give a damn that the reason he is even in Washington is to listen to his constituents and take care of them…and Tommy boy, read the damn constitution…I’d suggest the first amendment that protects a citizen’s right to “petition the government for redress of grievances”…and how does that happen? By calling and writing to their lying, racist senator….this is what you voted for repubs…while you wave your damn pocket constitutions, you elect people who don’t give a damn about it….so, Tom Cotton, you need to go…if you don’t want to do your job, then stop getting paid for it and go back where you came from…geez….
Let’s hope the NRA goes down….
Well….the coffee has finally started to work so I thought I’d come here to talk about a little article I read this morning about the NRA…you know, the hate group that is responsible for thousands of deaths every year in the US…this morning, it was reported that the FBI is investigating where the 30 million dollars the NRA spent to help elect the idiot trump came from. Yep, and the conjecture is that it was funneled from Putin and his cronies…well…not even conjecture…there is fire where the smoke is coming from or the FBI wouldn’t be involved….it’s just like the American citizens who were instrumental in funneling Russian oligarch’s money to the repubs in the election…and this wasn’t even restricted to the idiot trump but the money went to all levels of repbus, including Ryan and McConnell. My only hope is that this investigation proves the criminality of the NRA and shatters that terrorist organization so we can finally have some sane gun laws here in the US…..geez….
17,000 dead….
Well….I know the fact that people are losing their health insurance under the idiot trump and his minions is probably a little abstract if you didn’t lose your insurance….of the 3.4 million people who have already lost their insurance since trump and his minions took over, it is estimated the lack of care will result in 17,000 Americans dying just for ideological reasons….not for any good reason, either…just that the repubs just hate anyone but the rich getting anything in this country. Now, I know that most of you who come here are not trump supporters…or repub supporters for that matter, but to sit back and let this happen means that we are no better than the thugs that are running this country right now…we have a choice to make later in the year…the choice to get out and vote these assholes out and send them back to the “shitholes” they come from and start repairing our country with true progressive dems who care about everyone, not just the rich and powerful…we can do this if we just vote…remember, if we vote, we win…it’s on us….impeach…
10 more months…
Well…as we watch the repubs systematically try to destroy this country and everything it stands for, I think we all have to remember this nightmare is only going to continue for 10 more months…looking at the generic polling for the House races, the dems are now up by an unheard of 17 points…..the last time the repubs took over the house, they were up by about 9 % in the polls and took over 40 seats….so, if they historical ratios hold, we could be looking at 50 or more seats gained when we only need 24 to take back control of the house…and when that happens, Nunes, Ryan, Gowdy and all of trump’s protectors and enablers in the house will no longer be able to protect him…if the idiot is not indicted by then. So, we need to take a deep breath, keep our heads down, and continue to resist the destruction of our country…and start making plans on how to repair it when we get back in control. Impeach….
