Hey Whitey

White supremacists/nationalists (aka racist assholes) marching in Virginia. Unfuckingbelievable. This is the culture that Donald Trump inspires. This is the society his ilk, generally speaking, desires and/or tolerates. This is not what America is about. This is not what the vast majority of people in our country are like. 

 Free speech is one thing. Hateful, bigoted speech is another. 

The leaders of a people who seceded from our country because they wanted to enslave an entire race of people should not be memorialized in shrines and statues. While they are most certainly of historical significance/interest, they represent an era in our society that never should have happened. 

Claiming that these statues/shrines/memorials represent the heritage of today's Americans is disingenuous. They may be of interest to those whose ancestors they are, and that’s fine, but to insist that your ancestors’ bad decisions (i.e. slavery) be on display for everyone to see is presumptuous and offensive. I have German ancestors, some of whom may have been Nazis; I can’t imagine why I’d want a shrine in my public square memorializing them and their horrific deeds. Would it be interesting to me? Absolutely. Would I want to preserve it in my family history? Absolutely. But I wouldn’t for a second pretend to believe that anyone else besides genealogists, historians, and family would give a shit about it. 

Seriously – If you enjoy the history of our country, are sincerely interested in your heritage and ancestors, and want to make sure this history of our country is preserved, and not whitewashed, get involved in a historical society, a museum, your local libraries. 

I find our country’s history extremely interesting – The good and the bad, but I don’t glorify the enslavement of human beings and that it’s something everyone should see. 

 So snap the fuck out of it, and do something good for your country, your state, your city, your community, your neighborhood. Don’t be an uninvolved leech that thrives on conflict.

Just Fuck Trump

I’m no economist, but I’m pretty sure Trump’s fucked in the head…and we’re just plain fucked.

1. We’re going to pay out the ass for the wall/fence/whatever, since Congress is Republican controlled and Mexico isn’t paying for shit.

2. We’re going to pay for 10,000 more border patrol agents to round up those evil, dangerous undocumented immigrants. Who's going to do the jobs they work so hard at?  Not Americans, that's for sure.  Ask tomato farmers in Alabama about that.

3. In addition to that, we’re going to have to pay for bigger holding facilities for detained immigrants.

4. Federal courts are going to have to be beefed up to handle the increased workload.

5. Trump and the GOP-controlled Congress are surely going to slash public assistance. What will happen to our working poor citizens?

6. He’s also going to increase tariffs on Mexican imports that we’ll end up paying for, so we’ll pay for the wall twice because Mexico will surely pass on the increased cost of doing business with us to American consumers.

7. The administration and all the GOP dunces in Congress are against raising minimum wage, but for reducing corporate tax rates. 8. The Christian hypocrites’ war on a women’s choice is going to cost everyone more money, whether it’s trying to find homes for unwanted children, or paying medical costs for women injured or killed getting illegal abortions.

 Again – I’m no economist or mathematician, but something just doesn’t add up.

Gospel

To Hell With Trump

History will show Toddler in Chief Donald J. Trump and his herd of fascist ideologues to be the worst administration in the history of our country.  Further, it will show how seriously these irresponsible, pathetic individuals damaged our democracy.

Today Trump is whining about his firing of former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn.  He fired the man, then promptly blamed the Intelligence community and the media.  Flynn, whether he acted alone or on direction of Trump or his minions, acted irresponsibly. And he got fired for that.  Trump fired him.  Donald J. Trump fired him.  President Trump fired him.  The media didn’t fire him. The IC didn’t fire him.  The Donald fired him.

This so-called leader and deal-maker is a shyster.  A huckster.  A flimflam artist.  A con man.  A liar without a moral compass.  A narcissistic pansy, who can’t take responsibility for his own actions.  Act and blame…lather, rinse repeat.

This man needs to be removed from office.  He is a disgrace to the office, the country, our government, and to all the men and women who have dedicated their lives building this country’s democracy, government, and way of life over the last 238 years.

I hope our Congress isn’t sitting back doing nothing.  I hope their work is taking place behind the scenes and is focused on keeping this cretin from further damaging our country.

Mr. Trump – You claimed to be a unifier and that you would work for everyone.  Your actions say – no, scream, otherwise.  The world doesn’t revolve around you.  This country isn’t yours; it’s ours.  There are nearly 320 million of us in the United States with different political and social views.  Start serving all of us.  That means compromise, and doing that negotiating stuff you claim to be so good at.

Until you grow the hell up and start acting like a respectable, responsible adult and President, I will do everything I can to have you removed from office.  I’m only one person, with limited resources, but I’ll do what I can because I despise you and the way you and your administration conduct yourselves.

De Dumbass

The Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) had a web site once upon a time.  Then Toddler in Chief Donald J. Trump appointed painfully unqualified Billionaire Betsy DeVos to head the Department of Education.  Shortly after she was confirmed, the IDEA site was magically taken down.

Here it is before it was taken down, thanks to the Internet Wayback Machine.  Now if you try to go there now, you’ll find it gone, dead, kaput. 

Great job Betsy, you fuck!

Department of Dumbass

Republican turd from Kentucky Thomas Massie has introduced legislation to eliminate the Federal Department of Education.  Brace yourself, the language in the bill is pretty high falutin’ by Kentucky standards:

“The Department of Education shall terminate on December 31, 2018.”

Whew.  Thank you Mr. Massie – You’ve improved my vocabulary and reading comprehension tenfold!

Those of you who are so-inclined, should write your Congressmen to complain about this fuckin’ imp. 

Oh, and if you want to send him a little love note or call him, here’s his contact information:

Twitter:  @RepThomasMassie

WebMail:  Link

Telephone:  (502) 265-9119

And if your kids growing up to have the intellect of Kellyanne Conway or, God forbid, Donald Trump doesn’t piss you off…

…You should definitely be pissed that the party of dumbassery (That’s the GOP for you GOPers) is contributing to our country’s unemployed population.  Poor, poor Betsy DeVos will be unemployed if this cruel legislation passes through the wickets, and is signed into law by our Toddler in Chief, His Sensitivity, Donald “Big Fuckin’ Pussy” J. Trump.

Votee Fraud

Hey dummy, and by dummy, I mean Donny - Start your investigation here, you tiny-brained egomaniacal cunt.

Birds of a Feather

So I was feeling a little masochistic this morning and decided to peruse VP Pence’s Twitter feed. I hate to admit I was surprised because, despite his awful politics, he seemed a little more measured and thoughtful than Herr Trump. But…I can admit that I’m wrong when I’m wrong, and boy was I wrong. This clown is as divisive and caustic as Mr. Trump. Here are a few examples. In one post, he placed a couple of pics of the idiots in Berkeley vandalizing property and generally behaving like idiots. To that Pence said, “Liberals say "Trump will destroy America." but according to this pictures they're the ones doing it.” This, from the party that derides blacks when they express their distrust and fear of the police by saying, “One bad cop doesn’t mean all cops are bad,” and that kind of stuff that most people get. In another post he says, “It's so cold in Washington D. C. today that I've seen liberals with their hands in their own pockets.” Holy sheep shit! Really? Not only is that a lame, old joke – It’s really quite hypocritical coming from the party of graft, blowing lobbyists, and People United. Then he tries to honor slain former Army Sniper Chris Kyle by posting a meme with the following text: It takes 43 muscles to frown, and 17 muscles to smile, but only 3 for a sniper to pull the trigger. RIP Chris Kyle, 1974-2013. While I absolutely respect and admire every person who joins the military and serves their country, I take issue with Pence’s “tribute.” What Christ Kyle did in the military was his job. He happened to be very good at it, but he was more than a sniper. He was a father, a husband, a son, and probably a pretty damned good citizen and person. Why the Right continues to perpetuate a society of firearms, killing and death is beyond me, and this narrow tribute does nothing to honor the man, and disrespects him in my opinion. And finally (Because I’m getting tired of reading his bullshit), he posts, “Here is the Video of 2006 were 45 Democrats Helped Unanimously Confirm #NeilGorsuch (incl. @SenSchumer, and Obama).” They helped confirm Gorsuch as a U.S. Circuit judge. A video is included. The sad part about this is that, while he knows God damned well the Right did the exact same thing with Merrick Garland, it is totally lost with [probably] most of his and Trump’s loyal followers, who don’t have time to research facts or history. They believe only their Dear Leader and their talking automatons. Okay, one more. This one nearly made me choke on my coffee: “Most Americans support Trump's Refugee ban, The protests are only by the radical left who love terrorism.” What strikes me most about this administration is that, despite Trump’s promise to work for all citizens and the whole country, they are clearly not demonstrating that by a long shot. They continue to divide, needle, and deride anyone who disagrees with them politically. These times are so much more than simple political differences. It’s about finding common ground and bringing the citizens of this country to a place where they agree on a compromise. We were not a country built on a “my way or the highway” philosophy. We were born of the people, by the people, and for the people. It's the responsibility of our public servants to serve us – All of us. Where we disagree, we compromise. We have to, or we’ll live in strife and unrest until a leader gets elected that is truly a leader. We certainly don’t have any in this administration. The divisive rhetoric and unilateral upheaval of policies and ideals does nothing to improve our way of life and the prospects of a stable, happy future. #TheResistance #NeilGorsuch #SenSchumer #ChuckSchumer #VP #MikePence #VPOTUS #Divisiveness #Trump #DonaldTrump

Tangerine Dreams

The latest wind emitting from Herr Trump’s blatherhole, is his promise to “destroy” the Johnson Amendment.  The Johnson Amendment regulates what tax-exempt churches can do in politics. 

The Amendment also applies to other tax-exempt entities, and says in part that they:  “…are absolutely prohibited from directly or indirectly participating in, or intervening in, any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office,"

Churches should always have been taxed to some degree but If Tangerine in Chief Trump succeeds in abolishing the amendment, he damned well better start taxing them – Immediately.  Somehow, I can’t imagine that’ll happen.  If he goes that route, we need to barrage our representatives.  Don’t be idle; be involved.

Onward Christian Dumbass

Well, Dumbass in Chief Donald J. Trump (aka DonDon) and his faux-Christian band of little dumbasses can’t seem to get through a full day without fucking something up and/or causing some controversy or another. This time around it’s a ban on Muslims from a few Middle-Eastern countries, all in the name of protecting us from them thar evil terrorists, who are coming here in droves to establish a Muslim caliphate and enact sharia law to enslave and slay all of us God-fearing ‘Murcans. Hey shit heads – You really wanna protect us? See if you can do something about reducing the thousands of us who are murdered every year by mentally unstable idiots with guns. Start pressuring states to enact stricter laws for violent crimes. Release all citizens in prison for possession of drugs for personal use, and keep violent criminals in longer. They have no right to be free. And, since you and your wall-building, refugee-hating followers claim to be devout Christian, which is dubious, I offer a passage from the Bible: Matthew 25:31-46
The Sheep and the Goats 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left. 34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink?38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’ 41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’ 46 “Then they will go away to eternal punishment, but the righteous to eternal life.”

Pants on Fucking Fire

After watching Meet the Press interview Kellyanne Conway this past Sunday, and listening to White House press secretary Sean Spicer's first press briefing, my opinion of this administration, though already very low, has sunk to even lower depths.

The lies these despicable despots and hacks spew, and the people that enable them, are a disgrace to our country, our way of life, and the great democracy our Founding Fathers envisioned for our country.

Here's KellyAnne Lying.  The "dishonest media" can't be blamed for this one - They're her own words:


And now for Spicer

Illiterate in Chief

Mkay, guys - Don't use apostrophes in plurals, unless the plural is a possessive plural. Sheesh.

They're All Nucking Futs

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was sent to the White House Press Room by Herr Trump (Heil Trump!) to scold the media about misrepresenting the size of the crowds at yesterday’s inauguration.  He also said, “This was the largest audience to witness an inauguration. Period!”  And that it was “shameful and wrong” for the media to make that “misrepresentation.” 

Here’s what I think is shameful and wrong, Mr. Spicer:

1. The President talks about unity and serving all the people, yet offers no olive branch or words of inclusion in his inauguration speech. He is divisive, caustic, and unstable to the point that I don’t believe he is capable of finishing his term in office without some major internal government/Constitutional crisis.

2. The President spoke to the CIA today and talked more about himself and the media than he did about embracing the intelligence community, which serves us all, silently and honorably.

3. The fact that you had a press conference to whine about the media’s portrayal of crowd size.  It doesn’t matter how right or wrong the estimates were; what matters to me is that you have as poor judgment as Trump.  Would a sane person show their face to millions and millions of people and serve as a proxy crybaby for someone the likes of Trump over something so minor?  This administration’s pettiness is unnerving.  Grow the fuck up and start running the country, not trying to prove that you’ve got bigger dicks than the other guy?  Jesus.

You guys won. Stop the crying and fretting over little shit.  Serve us all, not just your constituency.  Compromise is critical if we are to function as a cohesive republic.

The End is Near

One of the first official steps toward a fascist government. This story is pretty hypocritical coming from the (disgraceful) Tweeter in Chief.

I'm curious how his White House Press changes will pan out. It doesn't look good.

Trump Around, Motherfuckers
