I’m getting tired….

Well…I’m getting tired of talking about how much ole Trump lies, so I’m not going to talk about that much more…just one little thing that I read this morning…in a deposition, under oath, that took about two hours….it was verified that the Trumpster lied 30 times…yep, 30 times in two hours! Now, take a look at your own day, do you lie more than 30 times for the entire day? The entire month? Didn’t think so….so why would any foreign leader trust a pres….nope can’t even write that….it’s just too far afield of what the US stands for to think about the idiot running the country…let’s just leave it that no one in their right mind…even Putin would ever trust anything this moron says…how does the world work without trust?   Sad….

Attacking the “rigged election” nonsense…

Well…was just sitting here marveling (not in a good way) about how Trump and his minions have been trying to delegitimize  the election results before they happen since they are so far behind and Donald is just so damn dumb it looks like it’s hopeless for them….if I were in the Clinton campaign, I would attack these charges straight on by invoking the hard working honest poll workers, our fellow citizens that volunteer their time to do a thankless job and who are the people who make sure our elections are fair…and, I would ask Donald point blank..”why do you think your fellow citizens that run elections for all of us are dishonest?” This would shut that blowhard and all of his followers up…elections don’t just happen…thousands and thousands of our fellow citizens give their precious time to make sure our elections can’t be questioned and they do a great job…okay, go ahead and attack again Donald…sad…

Never before….

Well…the dumpster fire that is the Trump campaign hit a new low yesterday with the Donald actually threatening violence against Hillary and the judges she is going to appoint…yep, this idiot said this “Hillary wants to abolish, essentially, the second amendment. By the way, and if she gets to pick-if she gets to pick her judges, nothing you can do folks. Although the second amendment people, maybe there is, I don’t know.” Now, never before in the history of this country has a nominee of a major party actually threatened to send his “second amendment people” to kill the other candidate if they get elected and do their jobs….and never before has the secret service had to talk to a candidate and his campaign to tell them that it is against the law to do this…but, I guess nothing is out of bounds in the modern repub party….led by the idiot Trump….how can this conceited, homophobic, asshole even be polling even one percent of the vote? This is not America…or maybe it is to the repubs…geez…

The country is moving on from the repubs…

Well….with the events from the Trump dumpster fire over the past week, it is looking more and more that the country is moving on from the core beliefs of the repubs….they want to build a wall and deport 11 million immigrants when a large majority of the rest of the country want some sort of sane immigration policy that would allow these workers to stay (a policy that was embraced by both Reagan an GHW Bush)….the Trump folks are still racist at heart and fear for the loss of “white privilege”…trying mightily to hang on to their shaky place in this society and decrying the idea that they just can’t be openly racist anymore..while supporting Trump for being a racist and “telling it like it is”…maybe it is to them, but the country has moved on and is trying to ensure all of us have the same opportunities….Trump and his followers salivate at the idea of overturning Obergfell and making gays second class citizens again while the country has moved on and accept the equal rights of the LGBT community…you get my drift? Trump and his followers are the last gasp of the idea that the rights of the “others” they don’t like is up to them…but the country has moved on from that whole premise…and is leaving them behind…all I can say is good riddance…this is 2016 not 1916….geez….

One little bit of truth…

Well….if you missed it, the Donald gave what could be called an economics speech the other day in Detroit…and, in between the Hillary bad crap, there was just one little bit of truth that came through…ole Trump was going off about how bad the Michigan economy is and how it would be so much better if the dems weren’t running it…yeah, well, Donald…take another look…the dems don’t control anything here in Michigan so of course, the crappy economy is the repubs fault…that wage stagnation is a result of policies that take money from retirees and give it to CEO’s so they can buy another summer home while we struggle to pay our bills….and laws that allow the repub freeloaders to not pay their fair share of taxes, and that allow freeloading union members to reap the benefits of union representation while not paying for that representation…but that is the repub way…bitch about freeloaders and then put policies in place that allow repubs to be the freeloaders while everyone else can go to hell…sad….

Marco Rubio is still evil…

Well…with the do nothing repubs fleeing town after playing politics with funding to fight the Zika virus that has invaded the US, most strongly in Florida, little Marco Rubio has weighed in on the birth defects that come from the infection. In an interview the other day, ole Marco said that since he is “strongly pro life” (or forced birth), he thinks pregnant women who may be infected with the virus shouldn’t be able to get abortions…or any women for that matter. Never mind that babies born with the defects will need a lifetime of specialized care running into the millions of dollars or that the stress of caring for one of these kids can shorten the lives of the mothers…no, no abortion for any reason is the only thing that ole Marco can say. Having a not too bright politician determine the direction of a woman’s life is just wrong on so many levels but that is what the repubs are all about…they sure don’t give a damn about woman’s health in this country…one of little Marco’s compatriots in Florida made the statement “there have always been birth defects…what’s so special about these?” That about sums up the cruel, evil repubs these days….geez…

Breathtaking hypocrisy…

Well….I just about puked when I read a statement put out by the repubs today to commemorate the passing of the voting rights act in 1965…and to praise the people who worked hard to get it passed…and the rest of the boilerplate where they try to take credit for passing it and that it was necessary to make sure all the people had the right to vote…okay, insert a big frickin laugh right here….in every state that the repubs control, they have been doing their best for the past twenty years to undermine it an make sure that minorities, the poor, and anyone else that will never vote for a repub can’t vote…in the past week alone, there have been 5 court cases striking down these voter suppression laws and now ole Reince has the gall to praise the VRA? This is just the latest in a long, long string of breathtaking hypocrisy out of the repubs…and I’m sure it won’t be the last…I’m just shaking my head…geez…

How does that work?

Well….we all know that the Trump campaign is run by a bunch of idiots and they added just a little more proof today when ole Trump’s campaign manager, Paul Manafort, went on the morning show to spew the crazy assed talking point that Obama’s foreign policy was responsible for Captain Khan’s death…in 2004. Now, Paul, we’ve been over this before…who was president in 2004? Hmmmm…someone not named Obama…could it be GW Bush? So, now what you’re saying, Paul, is that our foreign policy was being set by the state of Illinois in 2004, and that Obama, being a state senator at the time was responsible? Let’s get right to the point, Paul, you are an idiot and a liar if you believe the crap you vomit every day on the TV box….please get some help for your delusions…and while you’re at it..get some for Donald, too…geez…

This is deranged….

Well….if you didn’t think that Obama derangement syndrome was a real thing, You just have to listen to Trump’s spokesperson Katrina Peterson the other day trying to deflect the fact that Trump has become obsessed with the Khan’s and the sacrifice their son made in 2004. And, that’s the key here…this idiot Peterson went on Wolf Blitzer’s show and said that Hillary and Obama were responsible for Capt. Khan’s death conveniently forgetting that ole GW was president when the death occurred…the worst thing here is that Wolf didn’t even push back on this obvious lie…he just let it hang in the air while he went to commercial. This is the problem with the media today….why can’t they just say “hey that’s a bald faced lie” and pressure these idiots that work for Trump…..they’re just enablers that have let the birther crap go on for years…that let the lie that tax cuts spur growth in jobs…and every other delusion on the right is allowed to stand as truth….sad….

Modern repubs…sigh…

Well….let’s add Mike Pence to those who have really relinquished their sanity to support the chief Idiot, Trump….at a Pence rally the other day, a woman asked how Pence could still support Trump when Trump attacks military families….and his response was that he has never met anyone who supports the troops more than Trump….as much as that is wrong on so many levels…basically every level…the worst part was that the crowd attempted to shout the woman down..who, by the way, has a son serving in the Air Force…she persevered and got through the question to shouts of throw her out and shut up…and, here is how ignorant the Trump/Pence supporters are…when they interviewed a few of them after the rally, they all said that the woman had “violated their rights” by asking a question they didn’t want to hear…now….I am getting really tired of pointing out what the constitution really means to these folks…the first amendment protects this woman’s right to speak out…it doesn’t protect you from hearing something you don’t want to hear….and it doesn’t give religious folks the right to discriminate in the name of religion…man…I am just shaking my head at all of the stupidity…geez…
