Well…it has been kind of a busy day today with cooking my 16 pound turkey for lunch and then getting out on the bike (in shorts) for a ride before I came back here…the problem is that I’m still thinking about a topic right now and haven’t been able to figure one out. So, let’s just start and see what happens…idiot boy trump is in meltdown mode today after it was announced on his teevee that the Barr report is going to be issued Thursday…you notice I didn’t say the Mueller report since it no longer is Mueller’s after Barr edited it to protect trump…and it was revealed that Barr misled the congress at least once before to justify for his bosses at the DOJ that the kidnapping of foreign nationals without the permission of the country where they lived was just peachy…and then they proceeded to grab Manuel Noriega and bring to the US…the only problem was that his “summary” in that case was misleading, according to the congressional committee who had to subpoena that background info that Barr used to write his opinion…and once misleading, always misleading when it comes to Barr…and it looks like another subpoena is going to be necessary to get the Mueller report and it’s background material…so, Barr has been a partisan hack since at least 1989…surprise, surprise…impeach…

A little Monday surprise
Well…I think this one has kind of flown under the radar of the trump scandal tornado but it could really be an important day in getting the information that will prove just how big of a criminal trump is. Tomorrow, the accounting firm who does accounting for all of trump’s businesses will receive a subpoena from chairman Neal of the Ways and Means committee to produce all of the financial records of all of those businesses, along with all communications with trump and his criminal organization (including his children) and all underlying information that trump provided to the firm…and there is not a damn thing that trump can do to stop it…the firm even requested the subpoena in response to the letter sent by Neal just to protect themselves from liability….they can’t be sued by trump for following a legal order to turn over the information, and the adults in charge there are surely not going to die on this hill for trump since they know that he is a criminal who has tried to use this firm to break the law in the past by lying to them on financial statements he provided. So, it may be a pretty interesting meltdown day from trump tomorrow…or tonight as it always is when he is being exposed as the criminal that he is. Impeach….
The GOP is now a party of lawbreakers…
Well…hey, GOP…where the hell did your party of “law and order” go? You have been the ones harping for the past 40 years that the dems are “weak” on crime and I guess that meant that we don’t break the law enough? Over the past week, we have seen almost every damn officer in the trump administration either break the law or incite others to do it…if it isn’t Barr obstructing justice by “editing” the Mueller report, to Mnuchin directly breaking the clear law by not releasing idiot boy’s tax returns to congress, to trump blatantly ordering his CBP officers to break the law at the border and dangling a pardon to get them to do it, all of the repubs are nothing but criminals now who only mouthed their allegiance to the constitution all the while doing the bidding of the criminal in chief who squats in the WH. Now dems, it is time to use all of the power of government to bring these criminals to justice starting with Mnuchin who you can hold in contempt of Congress and actually have him arrested and held until he complies with the law…and then Nadler, you need to subpoena the Mueller report and file suit against Barr and trump to get a judge to order the complete report released to congress as is their right as part of their constitutional responsibilities of oversight of the executive branch…and then, Nadler, start the damn impeachment of this asshole…there are so many things he has done that meet the standard of “high crimes and misdemeanors” that this needs to be done…now…get after it…impeach…
It’s official…Barr’s a criminal, too…
Well…welcome to the latest repub coverup of trump’s criminality…did you expect anything different from Bill Barr? He is editing the Mueller report to make sure it doesn’t say anything bad about trump and trying to keep that information from the congress who has the right to see it…this is as much obstruction of justice as anything trump has done and the congress needs to hold him accountable…and just this morning it got so, so much worse with Barr announcing that he is going to “investigate” the people in the intel community who found that the Russians were helping trump…calling these folks doing their jobs protecting the US “spies” for investigating the clear contacts between trump and Russian spies. So, this is where we’re at…we have a lawless administration using the tactics of every would be dictator in the world being aided and abetted by the entire repub party and they will destroy this country before the next election when we can throw them out…there may be too much damage to repair and I will blame the repubs for helping it happen…impeach….
Abuse of power?
Well…c’mon folks, does trump really have to shoot someone on 5th avenue to have the congress do anything about him? The latest from the criminal in chief is as clear of an abuse of power as has ever been seen…a couple of days ago, as the idiot boy was touring his fake border wall in the southwest of the country, he told the assembled CBP officers there to ignore the judge’s ruling that said closing the border to asylum seekers was against the law….and to tell them that the “country was full” and could not take any more immigrants. Now, I’m old enough to remember Nixon and Watergate and the fact that one of the articles of impeachment was the abuse of power by Nixon by telling people who worked for him to lie to the FBI and break the law…now, how is what the idiot trump done any different? He has ordered people who work for him to break the law and to ignore a judges order to follow the law…I am getting damn tired of no one doing anything about this criminal *president who is destroying the rule of law in this country…and now, I pointing my fingers at you dems…you have plenty of evidence to impeach this asshole and you should just frickin do it…I don’t think the country will survive until the 2020 election….impeach….
I guess locking kids in cages wasn’t enough for trump…
Well…I’m kind of happy to see Kirstjen Nielsen get fired from her post as head of DHS but, with trump, you just know that whomever he finds to replace her is going to be much worse. I guess locking kids in cages, lying every damn day about it, and letting over 3,000 Puerto Ricans (Americans) die just for trump’s racist hatred just wasn’t enough to keep her job. The damage that the family separation policy (yeah, she lied to congress about that, too) has done to both parents and children is not something that can ever be fixed and should be hung around Nielsen’s neck every damn day she is out in public, and every damn time she is out on the wingnut welfare circuit cashing in on being the monster she is….to see these children and see the reporting on the damage that ripping them away from their parents does to them is just heartbreaking and every damn American should be incensed that this racist bullshit is being done in our names…or in the name of Stephen Miller, the racist in chief who is the one behind the policies of hatred that has now infested this country. The only hope we have to stop this damage is in the next election since the rest of the repubs are just fine with all this bullshit…and we need to get a pledge from every damn dem running that this crap will be reversed first thing as soon as we take back the WH….impeach this son of a bitch now….
A bad day for trump…
Well…not sure if it was coordinated or not, but there was loads of bad news coming out of the House yesterday for the idiot trump and his minions. The house Ways and Means committee who deals with all tax issues, formally requested 6 years of idiot boy’s personal tax returns along with the returns of about a half dozen of his holding companies….the key here is the request went to the IRS under a law that was specifically written in the 1920’s to get the tax returns of Woodrow Wilson and others in his administration as the House was investigating corruption…sound familiar? The key thing here is that they don’t have to get trump’s permission to get them and the IRS is required to hand over any requested return to the chair of the committee….and trump is so ignorant of how this works that he spouted off yesterday with his tired old talking point that his returns are still under audit so he can’t release them…donnie, donnie, get it through your thick head, you don’t have anything to do with this process…you can’t stop it you moron. The second bit of bad news that trump got was that the Jerry Nadler, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee got a subpoena approved to send to Bill Barr for the entire, unredacted Mueller report and all of the underlying information…not the justice obstructing 4 page propaganda letter that Barr released…and Nadler is ready to go to court to get the report, but he is being nice about it and giving Barr the opportunity to do what’s right instead of obstructing justice…remember, Bill…John Mitchell went to prison for 19 months for doing just what you’re doing when he tried to protect Nixon…oh, and one last thing…investigators and prosecutors who worked on the Mueller report are calling bullshit on Barr and his summary’s conclusion that trump didn’t obstruct justice…saying that it is a total misrepresentation of what is actually in the report….so, trump had a very no good, terrible day yesterday…and that is going to continue until he’s gone and in prison….can’t wait for today’s meltdown….impeach…
Oranges and wind turbine cancer…
Well…cripes…as every day goes by, the idiot trump sinks deeper into dementia and abject craziness….just yesterday during a press conference with the head of the UN, idiot boy just had to go on and on about the Mueller report and it’s “origins”…the only problem is that trump didn’t say origins but oranges…and continued to say it until his addled brain moved on to something else as the world watched…with any other *president, that would have been enough to get him hustled off to Bethesa for mental tests to see just how addled his brain is…but that was not the worst of his day….during a fundraiser in front of other repubs, he went off on wind power again… but not his normal schtick that you won’t be able to watch your tv when the wind isn’t blowing, no, he came up with an entirely new reason why wind power isn’t good for the country…I guess now the sound from wind turbines causes cancer…yep, you heard that right..he really believes that sound causes cancer and that, if you can see a turbine from your house, your home value will plunge 75%….god, this guy is in control of our nukes? He finished up the day by repeatedly asserting that his father was born in Germany…something he has done for weeks now but guess what? He’s lying about that, too…his father was born here in the US and really shows his mental decline since the Russians installed him. What is it going to take, repubs? Is getting your radical right wing judges worth putting the entire world in danger? Okay…stupid question…it is to you….impeach….
Polls…
Well…no matter how many times the bleater in chief stands in front of his minions and declares “no collusion, no collusion”, the US people just aren’t buying it…even with Bill Barr trying his damnest to try to spin the results of the Mueller probe, more than 80% of the US don’t believe him and want to see the entire Mueller report, not some “summary” or redacted version, but the entire report including the underlying evidence. Barr has been trying to create a role for the AG out of thin air when every other SC report has been released in it’s entirety…and there is no role in the SC statute for the AG to summarize, edit, or otherwise limit the information that the Intelligence committee can see so it will be interesting on Tuesday when the IC has a deadline for Barr to produce the report or they will start issuing subpoenas compelling Barr to give the entire, unredacted report to congress. Oh, back to the polls…I’ll bet the latest polls are driving the idiot in chief crazy when they say that his approval rating is back under 40%…and here’s the kicker…fully 64% of the US believes that trump committed crimes before he was installed by the Russians…and well over 50% think he’s committed crimes since he was installed. So, no…no “total exoneration” no matter how many times he shouts that to his troglodyte crowds…one other poll that I can’t find but I think it was really bad news for idiot boy here in Michigan…his approval here is only in the mid 30’s and almost 60% say they won’t vote for him if he’s not in jail before 2020…poor baby..impeach…
Fumigate the VanAndel….
Well…with the idiot trump in town for some reason, the thought came into my head on the bike that they are going to have to fumigate the VanAndel arena where his “rally” is being held before I’ll be able to set foot in there again….I even got a text from his re-election campaign telling me how I could get tickets…now, anyone who knows me at all knows that the last place on earth I would ever be would be listening to the most stupid, racist asshole on the planet spout off and get his moron followers worked up into a frenzy…you know, living here in West Michigan all of my life, I thought the people here were pretty okay…but I was wrong…we are infested with hateful, racist assholes as evidenced by the DeVos and Van Andel families who, while they have done some good work, are trump’s biggest enablers here in Michigan, and that alone has tarred them with nothing but contempt from people here who have more than two brain cells. So, I won’t be watching any local news today since the local stations are all controlled by repubs and will fawn all over the asshole in chief…and I don’t need to see that…impeach….
