Well….not really sure if I’m looking forward to the debates that start tonight or not…after all, Trump has tried to rig the results by…well…almost too many things to name…starting with attacking the moderator saying he shouldn’t “fact check” anything he says…to lowering the bar for his performance to just continuing to breathe…and he has had so much help from the media to do that I’m not sure if there is any possible way that Hillary can win, even though everyone knows she will. I just can’t understand how anyone in this country can think that Trump is qualified for anything…and he shows his ignorance and hatred every day every time he opens his mouth…do people think that being a loutish asshole is qualification to be president? This country continues to sink to new lows as Trump supporters have been given a pass to reveal their true selves…and with that all dignity has gone out the window…I just shake my head…geez…

Trump is still a “birther”….
Well…we all know that Trump lies like he breathes, and the disavowing of his “birtherism” is just another one of them….last week, he said that he “believes” that Obama was born in the US…a whole seven seconds in a speech…but that seven seconds doesn’t erase the 6 years of constant attack on the president, the constant racist dog whistles that were lapped up by all repubs and still are…and ole Donald admitted yesterday that his abandoning of his racist birther stance was just expediency….just to get people to stop talking about it…not that he apologized to the president for his many, many slurs over the past 6 years…nope, that won’t happen since he still is a racist piece of shit who still believes all of his own lies about Obama…I think part of this is the fact that Obama has come from nothing and, through hard work and intelligence, has made a difference in the lives of many Americans and has tried to do what is right for the entire country…while Trump was given everything…never had to work for a dime of his supposed “fortune” and has done everything in his life for one person…Trump…and has hurt thousands of people as he cut his path of damage across this country….I detect some jealousy there…after all, how could any minority do better than Trump? Trump is just one pissed off little boy trying to look like a man and failing at it…and it couldn’t happen to a worse person…geez…
What does it take to disqualify Trump?
Well….you really need to read about the Trump foundation in the articles done by David Farenthold from the Washington Post where he reveals that the foundation is not a charity foundation at all, but a private slush fund that Trump has been using for personal gain, illegally. Payments to political organizations to go after the NY AG who is going after the fraudulent Trump University, buying portraits of himself to hang in his hotels, and to pay off lawsuits are just a few of the illegal things that Trump is still using his foundation for…now my question is…where are the IRS and FEC and why aren’t they doing their jobs to bring this criminal to justice? To show you just how crooked the Donald is, he held a golf tournament at one of his golf courses that had a hole in one contest that paid out a million dollars to anyone who got one. Well…of course Donald had to rig it….in the contact, it stated that the hole in one had to be of at least 150 yards…so what did Donald do? He made sure that the tees were at 149 yards so that he could renege on the contract if someone won….the problem was that a rich guy won and sued him for the million dollars…the suit was settled and where do you think the 150K to settle it came from? Yep, another illegal payment from the Trump Foundation…now, with the way that the media is letting Trump get away with all of his lies and fraud, I am truly starting to believe what Trump said…that he could stand on Fifth Avenue and shoot someone and people would still vote for him…what a sad state of affairs….geez…
Snyder’s abuse of power…
Well…here we go again…the repubs here in Michigan are abusing their power and rigging the system so Flint can’t make sure the state lives up to it’s responsibility to fix the damage done there by the emergency manager and the Snyder administration. As a little backstory, I’m sure you know that cost savings measures put in place by the Snyder administration led to the poisoning of Flint’s water supply and millions of dollars of damage to the water infrastructure there. To ensure that there would actually be a fix in place and not just talk, which is all we have ever gotten from Snyder, the city of Flint filed a notice of a lawsuit that would do just that…that would force the state to fix the damage that was done…but, as always with the repubs here in Michigan, they are rigging the system so that Flint can’t sue by changing the rules that requires that any suit has to be approved by a Snyder appointed board…yeah, that’s right, any suit that would hold Snyder responsible has to go through a new Snyder appointed board…now, how likely is it that any suit would be approved by Snyder’s cronies? It’s just another example of how the repubs here are abusing their power to protect their asses and not the people….we need to vote these guys out of office this fall and start making sure that Michigan has a functioning democracy again…not a third world government run by cronyism and lies…geez…
Bye, bye first amendment….
Well….I wonder if you have been paying attention to the asinine, dangerous crap that has been spewing out of Trumps mouth for…okay, forever….and yesterday, in the aftermath of the bombing in NYC, he let another mouth fart go…blaming the first amendment for the bombing…yeah, I know, just reading about his torturous logic make my head hurt, too, but bear with me….his reason for blaming the first amendment is that magazines and newspapers have instructions for making bombs in them and he would arrest the people running the mags since they are “accomplices”….and any website that had anything he didn’t like…arrest them, too…even though it is illegal to do…this is what the repubs have given us…the first candidate who waves the constitution with one hand and the wants to shred it with the other….now, who else thinks this is disqualifying? Yeah, I know, it really doesn’t matter what Trump says…he is the first post truth, post knowledge candidate that over 40% of the country says they’ll vote for….I knew there were lots of stupid people in this country, but not this many…geez…
The NRA can go to hell…
Well….just saw an add by the fricking NRA that basically says that if Hillary is elected, everyone is going to die by crininals since she will take away everyone’s guns….and that is just such a huge lie that it pisses me off….not once has Hillary or anyone else on the left said they are going to “take away people’s guns”…they do say that some sensible gun regulation is needed…like background checks that over 80% of the American people support and only the guns everywhere crazies are against. But, when did the truth ever matter to the right and the NRA? Never….I think the NRA should be labeled a terrorist organization since they and their guns everywhere crap is responsible for many more deaths in the US every year than all of the terrorists attacks that have ever happened on US soil….that is the definition of terror…geez…
Deplorables…
Well…unless you’ve been avoiding the news lately, you’ve heard about the controversy where Hillary called Trump’s supporters a “basket of deplorables” and with what we have seen since he started his campaign, the statement is mostly true. In it, she said that half of Trump’s supporters were deplorable for the violence and hatred they show…and being part of the “white supremacist” movement that wants the US reserved for just white people. But, I think I agree with what Keith Olbermann said on his webcast this morning that it is not true that half of Trump’s supporters are deplorable…it is 100% of Trump supporters that are deplorable. Anyone who could still follow and vote for any candidate who has said what Trump has said, is deplorable…and this deplorableness is highlighted at every Trump rally…just look the one in SC where one of his supporters sucker punched a 69 year old female protester….and at the same rally, another supporter grabbed and beat another protester inside the rally…and guess who got ejected…certainly not the violent Trump supporter…and this is the definition of deplorable….and it needs to be shouted that anyone who supports Trump IS deplorable….geez….
This is a “real” American?
Well…I am getting really tired of this BS….just the other day another one of the supposed “real” Americans threatened Hillary Clinton’s life by saying that “blood will flow in the streets” if she is elected. And this didn’t come from just any Joe Schmoe…this came for the frickiing governor of Kentucky…the idiot tea partier Matt Bevin. Now, advocating violence against the government or the president is called sedition and this idiot has certainly committed it and now the justice department needs to do their jobs to see if he is connected to the white supremacist groups that regularly spout this crap and murder people…that would be conspiracy and it is another felony. Where the hell do these idiots get off constantly wrapping themselves in the flag and then in the same breath egg their followers on to destroy the country if they don’t get their way? And, of course, these remarks were delivered at the Values Voters summit…the thinly disguised convention of hate where every repub spoke over the weekend to groups that overtly push hate of minorities, gays, immigrants and everyone else who is not a white evangelical….some religion you got there…Jesus sure wouldn’t recognize it….geez…
Here’s a scandal for you….
Well…I think it is a conscious plan for the right to make up lots of fake scandals so when a real one comes along, no one will notice. Luckily, someone did notice this one…a real one, and did a story on it last week. As you know, the right would love a country where companies can pollute as much as they want and push the cost on to the taxpayers when cleanup time comes…and that any environmental regulation is a “job killer” that has to be stopped by any means possible. To the repubs, that means suing the government any time we try to do anything to improve the environment…but this time the suits against the new carbon regulations have a buried little scandal that no one is talking about….before any repub state AG filed any suits against the new regulations, they met with all of the usual suspects to plan strategy…and that means coal companies, oil companies and every other one that poisons the people for profit. It was also revealed that these AG’s received millions of dollars in political contributions….and, of course, this didn’t have any bearing on whether the suits were brought (snark)….but, the worst part is since these repub state AG’s are bringing the suit, you and I are paying for it…yep, our taxes are paying to sue our own government to allow companies to poison us…and the companies walk away with their only cost being the donations to the repubs, not the true costs of the suits which would be hundreds of times more cost to them. Pretty normal for the repubs…use government to reward their buddies while we pick up the tab…geez…
Now pneumonia?
Well…I am so damn tired of the media these days when they ignore the slush fund that is the Trump foundation that has been used illegally to make political donations and to secretly fund lawsuits against AG’s who sued the fake Trump University…and what do they focus on? Hillary has pneumonia…every network, every news show…wall to wall today about a common sickness and the effects she showed from it. Of course, the right wing slant in the media is that having pneumonia disqualifies her from the presidency…and that has already morphed into: “what is she hiding about her health”….now, I’ve had pneumonia and the symptoms I had mirrored what Hillary had…the long term cough that drags on and then the rest manifests in quickly declining…it put me in the hospital in the course of one night after walking around with it for a couple of weeks…and yes, you do feel weak…I hit the floor after getting off the bed getting ready to go to the hospital….the really sick part is that there is no sympathy for her feeling bad…just the normal Clinton conspiracy crap that is constantly floated by the right….while Trump continues to lie, cheat, and steal and not a word about it in the press….I fear for this country if the media continues on this path….geez…
