Well…if you have to have more evidence that the rich really are delusional, you just have to look at the Donald’s comments from the past few days…I’m not sure of the context of this one but I think he was asked how he got so successful or some such nonsense….and he responded that he got a “small” loan from his father and took that small loan and made a fortune in real estate….sounds like a typically American story…young guy starts out with a “small” loan from his father and makes good in the big city….the only teeny little problem is his definition of “small”…small to him was a million dollars that daddy gave him to dabble around and get him out of the house….he did make some money so I won’t fault him there…but on the recommendations of daddy’s business partners which really means he didn’t do crap except be the face of the investments…and he has turned that into an “empire” by defaults, bankruptcies, and screwing people…something I guess the rich really are proud of…and the largess didn’t stop there…when ole Donald was going to default on the bonds from his casino, daddy stepped in again and laundered almost 4 million dollars to bail him out, which was illegal by the way, and the Donald had to pay a 30K fine for the wrongdoing. So, as with many of the rich, the delusions run strong in this one….another richie that started life on third base and is just convinced he hit a triple…geez…

Hillary beat them like a drum…
Well..not sure if you watched any of the marathon “hearing” on Benghazi the other day so I thought I’d talk about it for a bit…not sure what the hell ole Gowdy was thinking by scheduling her…I know, trying to get to the bottom…yadda, yadda…but, from all of the rational analysis, not Fox, she just killed these idiots and made it even more likely to get elected next year…not really what you were trying to do eh, Trey? The problem here is that all of these idiots doing the inquisition live in the right wing bubble where they KNOW that Hillary is guilty of something and if they just keep digging, harder and harder, they will find it…and the sick thing is they have been working on the Clintons since the early 90’s and have not laid a glove on them…the last time…with Whitewater, the repubs spent 60 million dollars of our money and found nothing…and now, just this one committee has spent another 5 million and counting and have found nothing….this is the repubs MO these days…can’t win at the ballot box…so lets do everything else to try to hurt your enemies…I’m tired of it…geez…
The dead-eyed granny killer is their savior?
Well…it has been quite funny to watch the courting of Paul Ryan by the rest of the repubs to be speaker of the house acting like he and only he could be the savior of their party…I would laugh if it wasn’t so silly that this idiot has that kind of a reputation…after all, what has he done in his time in the house other than run for VP? Other than put together wish list budgets for the Ayn Randians that infest this country, not much. Lets remember that this guy is one of the biggest liars in the country…remember him washing clean dishes in a soup kitchen during the campaign? Remember also how Joe Biden took him apart during the debates exposing his far right nonsense that was lauded as great ideas by the repubs. Remember, too, that these great ideas included gutting Social Security, ending Medicare and every other program that benefits anyone but the rich…and now, with the batshit crazy “Freedom caucus” in the house, he is being called a liberal…since they don’t think he goes far enough…they want to eliminate everything in the government but the military and they want to give the MIC more and more money for more and more wars. so, if you think that ole Paul is going to be the “‘savior” of the repub party and the country…you are not just ill-informed..you are an idiot…..geez…
More hot water for ole Trey…
Well…just a little short one on the Benghazi czar, ole Trey Gowdy, and the connection of his committee to a super pac that has the sole purpose of defeating Hillary…to keep her from getting the nomination or to defeat her in the general election. Now we find that ole Trey has been coordinating with that super pac and the super pac has been running ads against Hillary….now, what reason would there be for this coordination if the committee was solely focused on getting the “truth” on Benghazi? Never mind that 7 previous investigations have found no blame at all for Hillary…I guess ole Trey thinks HE is the only one in the country that can get to the “real” truth of the matter…the question is why he needs a super pac’s money and advertising to get to the truth….geez…
Trey Gowdy is just so damn dense…
Well…not sure if you have been keeping up on the Benghazi committee and it’s dense, dense, dense chairman, but, I’ll try to do a little of that for you today. and, I’ll use the idiots own words to show how dense and irony challenged this guy is…I am still shaking my head after his response to criticism of his committee hit the news. In the past few days he said this: “I would say in some ways these have been among the worst weeks of my life….attacks on your character, attacks on your motives are 1,000 times worse than you can do to anyone physically…at least it’s true for me..” Okay, everyone have your irony alert working? After this idiot has done nothing for the past two years (longer than the Watergate committee was in session) than attack Hillary’s character and motives, he has the gall to whine about having his fee fees hurt since people have discovered that the entire thing has been a sham…wasting 4.5 million dollars of our money for personal attacks that should be illegal…this is your typical modern repub…small government fans until they can use the government to attack their enemies….hopefully, the media is starting to figure out that just printing the repubs lies are not as profitable as printing the truth…that’s the only thing that will get the media out of the tank for them….
One last thing, Trey…didn’t you notice that your entire state was under water a few weeks back and many people there lost everything? Now, to me, I would think that would be just a little worse than having your little feelings hurt by the bad old dems…
JEB! really and truly is the stupid one…
Well…I know I’ve done a few about ole JEB! and how unintelligent he is…even compared to his idiot brother…but there is a brand, spanking new bit of idiocy that I just had to comment on. As you know, the repubs have been using the murders in Benghazi for years now to attack Hillary while the media has allowed it, even given that 9/11 happened on their watch and they continue to act self-righteously about it in every interview…but, something changed yesterday when ole JEB! was on one of the Sunday talk shows. On CNN Sunday morning ole JEB! was asked this by Jake Tapper: “How do you respond to critics who ask if your brother and his administration bear no responsibility at all for the attacks on 9/11, how do you make the jump that President Obama and Secretary Clinton are responsible for what happened at Benghazi?”
Here is the stunningly stupid answer:
“Well, it the question on Benghazi which is hopefully now finally get the truth to it, is was that, was the place secure? They had a responsibility, the Department of State, to have proper security.”
Trying to dig himself out of the hole he dug, he went on: “It’s what you do after that matters” when it comes to leadership…
That is probably one of the most stupid things I’ve ever heard on leadership…you wait for something to happen and then react to it is leadership? I am so glad this idiot will never be president…but the rest of them are no better and none of them will be elected either…so we have that going for us…geez…
The second shoe drops on the Benghazi farce…
Well…what we have known for a long time was confirmed again by another repub…that the Benghazi hearings were nothing but a farce that would be used to hurt Hillary Clinton. The rep, John Hannah, from New York, confirmed what Kevin McCarthy let slip last week when he said the only purpose of the hearing was to hurt Hillary’s poll numbers….and, this is what we have come to expect from the repubs…they won’t do the country’s business such as raising the debt ceiling…but, they are happy to unethically spend 4.5 million dollars of our money on a political witch hunt…these guys are like the hockey player who targets an opponent to hurt them…it may not be illegal, but it is certainly unethical…but, as we all know…this group of repub idiots are the most ethically challenged group we have ever seen in congress…I can’t wait til Hillary tears them apart later in the month…geez…
Democratic debate postmortem…
Well…since I watched through the entire debate (with a few flicks over to see how the Wings were doing), I think it’s a good idea to do a postmortem on what I thought of it…to get this first thing out of the way…that the media thought that it would not be interesting and that no one would watch was just plain wrong…15 million people tuned in and what they got was an interesting debate that certainly clarified where each candidate stands on the issues…I was a little disappointed that there were some attacks by the candidates on each other…something they should just leave to the repubs…but, for the most part, they stuck to the issues and really clarified how they are different from the repubs…from gun control, to income equality, to infrastructure, these candidates set out what is different between them and the repubs…the dems think of what is possible and made it clear that the repubs only think in terms that everything that should be done to make the US a better is impossible…that we can’t afford it…when every other industrialized country can afford paid family leave…healthcare for all, and keeping their infrastructure current…and the only reason we don’t do it is that the repubs are giving the country away to the rich…there was not a more stark difference between the two parties that could have been shown and I am glad these candidates had the guts to say it…they are never going to get the right to vote for them so why pander to the crazies on the right? I will say that there are two of the five that were ont he stage that should not make the next debate…Jim Webb showed that he is basically a republican that is calling himself a democrat and is way too far to the right for the progressives…and Lincoln Chaffee who is just too mild mannered with no fire that you need to get through the general. As you know, Bernie Sanders is my favorite here..whose populist ideas to me are just what this country needs right now…but, Hillary Clinton did well, too and would eat any of the repubs alive in a debate…the surprise of the night was Martin O’Malley who started to show that he deserved to be there and would be viable alternative to the two frontrunners. All in all, it was a good night for the dems and I look forward to debate number two…more substance forAmerica is just what we need.
Circular logic on Climate change…
Well…just read a little article about climate change in Alaska that I just had to comment on since it made me shake my head in disbelief….the governor of Alaska came out in the past few days in favor of accelerated drilling for oil basically everywhere in Alaska…wildlife refuges, offshore, anywhere there may be oil…and your jaw will drop when you hear the reason for this drilling…he wants to drill and burn more oil so that Alaska will have the money to cope with climate change…he said that some villages have to be moved from thawing permafrost and the only way he can see to do that is to make climate change worse…and this is the flaw of not having a national policy on climate change…the states will be left to make the world problem worse to deal with it’s local effects…what a bit of circular logic…and I really am shaking my head…geez…
The Democratic debate…
Well…have been waiting a while for the first dem debate and I am a little excited to have them get started…it will be cool to see the adults on our side talk about policy and how they will make the average American’s lives better versus the attacks and the lies that came out of the repub debates…I still can’t believe that the moderators didn’t call ole Carly on her PP lies or really any of the others since the majority of the repub debaters lied through their teeth the entire night. If you ever have wondered if the corporate media is in the tank for the right…all you have to do is listen to the themes that are running through the reporting on the dem debate…that it is going to be boring since the dems are going to talk about policy and not personal attacks….and that the ratings are going to be small since it won’t be entertaining….well, folks, debates are not supposed to be “entertaining” they are supposed to give the voting public information about the candidates and the policies they will push when they are elected…contrary to the repubs whose only policy is to give more tax cuts to corporations and the rich and to hate on government and ensure that it is not successful…if you doubt that, just take a look at the House under repub control…they have done nothing to make the country a better place for our average citizens and have not dealt with any problem that affects them….we will see who the adults are after tonight…and it won’t be the Donald live tweeting the event……
