Dereliction of Duty

The President who claims to be the ultimate tough guy and a staunch supporter of the U.S. military has none gone an entire month after learning of intelligence that Vladimir Putin's-led Russia was paying the Taliban to take out American and coalition forces in Afghanistan, and has done nothing.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/26/us/politics/russia-afghanistan-bounties.html

Trump's cowardice in this matter rivals only his own cowardly avoidance of the draft in Vietnam. Dumbo Donald is clearly afraid to confront Putin in any way.

It started with Trump's complete subservience to the Russian dictator in Helsinki, Finland. There, in front of the entire world, Trump sided with this murderous former KGB agent about Russia's interference in the American election.

Clearly Putin and Russia attacked our election process in order to get Dumbo Donald elected President and it worked. In Helsinki, despite having evidence from 17 different U.S. intelligence agencies, Trump backed Putin.

Later, Trump withdrew U.S. troops from Syria, and left our Kurdish allies, who helped us fight terrorism in the region, to another dictator in Turkey. The Turkish leader, Erdogan, almost immediately began the ethnic cleansing of the Kurds and as our troops withdrew from Syria in shame, they were being pelted with fruit. We have become a laughing stock. 

The Republican Party is not without blame in this matter. Again, these hypocrites who spent my entire life attacking Russia and its dictatorial ways, now has nothing to say. The Party that criticized Obama for not being more forceful on Syria, allowed this President to withdraw our troops from Syria and leave our Kurdish allies to the whims of another murderous dictator.

More often than not during this administration, what use to be up, is down, and down is up. What I do know unequivocally is that this President and his administration have been a complete disaster when it comes to foreign policy. The world at first was laughing at us, but now they have stopped laughing, and instead they feel bad for America. I never though I would see the day.   

USA Today - Russia Bounty

NOT YOUR JURISDICTION!

If you knew how I felt about most issues, you would think I would lean moderate Republican, but more often than not, I do not vote that way because the modern Republican Party is filled with hypocrites.

For one, the hard-right Republicans, which includes FOX News, say they believe in limited federal government, and whenever possible, the states should have the right to govern themselves. This holds true as long as they agree with what the state is doing. When the hypocrites on the right don't agree, then the federal government should intervene. 

Hard-line Republicans will say that Health care for all provided by the federal government, is to much government, but the Federal government telling women they can't have an abortion is ok.

They will also tell you that social programs (entitlements they call them) like Medicare and Social Security is Federal overreach, but sending in federal storm troopers into Portland is appropriate. So In fact, they want limited government as long as they agree. 

Federal Gestapo agents (otherwise known as Custom's and Border Patrol and DHS) have no jurisdiction in Portland, Oregon, or any other city in America. They have jurisdiction over federal buildings and Federal land, otherwise, they should get the f--- off my lawn!

If there are actually riots going on in Portland, that is the jurisdiction of the Portland Police Department. If DHS or CBP agents want to protect that federal court house in Portland, so be it, but that is it. That is their limited jurisdiction!

Samuel Adams and John Hancock and John Adams fought a war to repel a standing British army in the United States, so I will be damned if I see an American dictator direct Federal Agents against American Citizens.

Is it ok for Federal agents to beat and then pepper spray a Navy veteran? Is it ok for Federal agents to tear gas and arrest a group of moms? MOMS? Is it ok for Federal agents to tear gas the mayor of Portland and other protestors? The answer to all these questions is a RESOUNDING NO!!!

Navy veteran Chris David, 53-year-olds, had his arm broken by these thugs. Is this how we treat our veterans now in Trump's America? Cowardly Republican leaders say nothing. And acting DHS secretary Ken Cuccinelli, says everything is being done by the book. Are you kidding me Ken? How can you say that with a straight face? Customs and Border Patrol have no business in Portland. NONE. This can not be happening in American cities!!!

 

The Nazis also deployed storm troops and agents of the government to beat, arrest and kill dissidents. Unacceptable! And Chad Wolf, the head of Department of Homeland Security, who is not Senate approved, is a Trump goon and jack-booted thugs!

Someone I know and respect today said, "at some point the Feds need to step in." I respectfully and forcefully DISAGREE. Where is that line drawn, and more importantly who gets to draw that line? Is it Donald Trump? And if that is the case, how long will it be before he turns federal agents on his political enemies like his idol Vladimir Putin does in Russia. 

Remember Republicans don't like universal health care and call it socialism, well what is turning government agents on your own people - OH yeah Communism. HYPOCRITES!!!!!

I am done with these hypocrites who wrap themselves up in the flag and then violate everything that flag stands for. Any federal agent who moves in to my city, better be prepared for the same reception British Redcoats received.

God bless America and the U.S. Constitution, which to some of us still means something.     

You're a little late to the PARTY!

Donald Trump's former National Security Advisor John Bolton's book is about to be released and the excerpts from his tell-all are not surprising. The book reveals what we all ready knew, that Trump is a criminal, incompetent, and a wanna-be dictator, who is constantly seeking foreign help in derailing our American democracy. This would have been unthinkable for any former President, but this guy isn't Presidential material.

All that be said, one must ask at this point, why did John Bolton wait? America could have used this testimony sir during the impeachment trial of 45. Bolton allowed subordinates in the defense department to put their careers on the line to do the right thing and testify against the serial criminal. It was incumbent on Bolton, if he is the patriot that he proclaims, to have been at the head of that list of witnesses. He failed his country in this regard. And worst of all, he balked it in order to make money on book sales. Shame on you.

A lot of Republicans share blame for enabling this monster to continue his criminal spree. Time and again, citizens have seen GOP member after member make excuses for this con-artist. Why do they do it? I do not know. I think most Americans reward courage and would respect a congressional leader who is willing to buck his party in favor of doing the right thing. John Kennedy wrote an entire book on this matter - Profiles in Courage. During this mess of an administration, we have seen little evidence of that - Mitt Romney being the exception.

I guess at this point, we expect our congressional and administrative leaders to be cowards and scoundrels, but it would be nice, just once, to see some of these people step up in a big moment and be guided by their principals to do the right thing. Don't hold your breath.

 

 

Impeach Barr!!!

No one who has worked for this administration should ever get a job more advanced than dog catcher, and in advance let me apologize to dog catchers. What you do is much more important than anything these idiots have done in the last 3 1/2 years. 

Whether it is Dumbo Donald suggesting that we should look into injecting bleach - bleeping IDIOT. 

Or Kellyanne Conway saying that we've had 18 Covids before Covid-19 - GOD DAMN IDIOT. 

Conway "We have this contained. You don't think it's contained?" DUMBASS responding to reporters question

Mike Pence "Thanks to you wonderful leadership Mr. President …. " IDIOTIC sycophant

The list goes on and on and on and on and on and on, but one of the most dangerous people in this administration besides DUMBO Donald himself is Attorney General Bill Barr! His job is to oversee the American justice system and to ensure that justice is administered equally throughout the United States. He has done anything but that.

Barr has stopped the prosecution against disgraced former Trump National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, who has plead guilty on three separate occasions to lying to the FBI in open court and did so to prevent being charged with more serious crimes, and yet Barr got the Justice department to drop the case. By the way, the Judge in that case, Emmet Sullivan, is having none of that, so stay tuned. 

Barr also succeeded in influencing prosecutors to ask for a lesser sentence for life-long conman and Trump associate Roger Stone. More recently, Barr got Stone released from Prison because of Covid-19 concerns. If you know anyone in Federal Prison, I wonder, have they been released? Some how, I doubt it, but that didn't stop Barr from getting this goon released from prison. 

Stone was not the only former Trump associate let out of prison for fear of Covid-19. Paul Manafort, who was in prison for countless crimes, was released a few days ago and is serving his sentence at home - must be nice. Stone and Manafort have one thing in common, they refused to turn on the President. Yet Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen, who was put in prison for leading the scheme, at Trump's direction, to pay off a pornstar with campaign finance money, remains in Prison. I guess that's because he ratted on his degenerate former boss - DUMBO Donald.

Let us not forget that Barr also tried to put his thumb on the scales of justice when he lied about the contents of the Mueller report a few days before it came out. He said that the report suggested that the President did not collude with Russia and that's not what Muller found. In fact, Mueller and his team concluded that they couldn't clear the President of collusion, but that he outlined ten separate instances of obstruction of justice by Dumbo and his goons.

Remember Barr is Dumbo Don's second Attorney General. His first was Jefferson Beauregard Sessions. Sessions, as shady as he is on issues like civil rights, recused himself from the Russia investigation, and Dumbo didn't like that, so he fired Sessions so he could find someone even more corrupt. Someone who would do his bidding, no questions asked, and he found that in Barr.

William Barr, who once enabled the pardon of six political criminals associated with Iran-Contra during the Reagan-Bush era, is the enabler-in-Chief for the most corrupt President in American History - Trump. When will Barr indict Trump for accepting $970,000 in taxpayer money that has been funneled into his pocket for room rentals at his properties during his presidency thus far? The answer is never. Barr is a life-long political hack. Any search of Barr's history will expose him as a political henchmen who does the bidding of the truly corrupt wielders of power.     

For these reasons and countless more, Barr should be impeached immediately. He is as corrupt a person as they come and he should have been out of a job yesterday.  

STOP BEING STUPID!!!!!!!!!

I am going to keep this as simple as possible for all the stupid people out there and by last count there is at least 63+ million of you in America. All around the country, moronic Trump Cult members are going out in public without masks and gathering in large groups and as a result people are getting sick with COVID-19!

So here is the simple truth:
- Covid is real and people are dying. As of this morning, 85,906 have died as a result of this disease! FACT!
- The "President" is a narcissistic sociopath who has no empathy. If he wasn't busy watching TV and tweeting, He'd be a serial killer. Oh Wait, he is responsible for nearly 86,000 deaths. He is serial killer!
- This poor excuse for a "human" wants to send the masses (the poor, working and middle class) back to work to make the 1 percent their billions. Hey Dumbo Donald, !@#$ you!
- At the same time, these wealthy financiers can go on FOX News and tell us to go back to work from behind the safety of their computer screens. I say to that - !@#$ them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is the truth, the stupid Trump voters who refuse to believe that this is a real thing with real consequences are putting the rest of us in danger. If they want to die because they are reckless, that's their business. However, I have the right to life!!!!!

What these morons and their leader don't understand is that the longer they keep making people sick by not wearing masks, and by not recognizing the danger associated with this virus, the longer this economic downfall will continue and the longer this pandemic will extend.

I am working, and the dumbass Trump voters I work with refuse to wear masks. I am going in on Monday to tell my employer to enforce their own rules and make every person wear a mask. If they don't, they can pound sand because they will never see me in there until every employee is wearing a mask like their rules posted all over the workplace are followed.

I am sick and tired of trying to reason with the ignorant people who refuse to believe facts, and only believe conspiracy theories. I am done! I don't recognize this country anymore. There was a time in this country when a crisis like this would have galvanized the public to do the right thing for all us, and in this case that would mean staying at home and keeping people safe, but that's not Dumbo's America.

The only answer is to vote out this poor excuse for "human" in November and all his lemmings in the Republican Party. We must send a message in November that this bulll!@#$ will not be tolerated any more.

Serious times call for serious people and DUMBO DONALD and your cult members, your 4 years 15 minutes are up.

Following Dear Leader over the cliff

When you follow a cult leader, it's a bad decision, and right now a number of Republican governors, hoping to please Dear Leader, are rushing to open up businesses well before the pandemic is in check, and it will lead to disastrous results.

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed, but the death toll in the United States as a result of the Covid-19 breakout, is still on the rise, and so are the cases, and President Dumbo's response is to open the nation's businesses before we have this thing under control. Trump can't even decide on a strategy.

On Thursday, Trump said that in order for states to open up to phase one, the state in question would have to have a decline in the number of cases for 14 consecutive days, then the next day he tweets that the governors should liberate their respective states. He can't even make up his mind.

But predictably governors in the Florida's and Georgia's and other Trumpian states, decided to just wing it, and it will cost countless American lives. And make no mistake, Trump will throw Kemp (Georgia) and DeSantis (Florida) under the bus when this fails miserably.

The U.S. suffered over 2,700 deaths again today and in my state we lost another 152 today. And the heroic medical professionals, doctors and nurses on the front lines, who have endured the PTSD of watching people die alone, are warning that this reckless approach could lead to an even more vicious second wave, but the leaders of the Trumpian cult refuse to acknowledge the doctors.

In fact, the cult's rank and file, are now gathering in mass outside of state houses and governor's mansions, shoulder-to-shoulder to voice their displeasure that they have not contracted Covid-19 yet I guess. Of course every one of these protests will lead to outbreaks in those states. Some of these people in two to three weeks will be fighting for their lives on a ventilator. Let's pray for them.

The great tragedy in this is that all the work done by so many Americans to bend the curve could be so quickly undone by these yahoos protesting at the statehouses.

Impeachment parade

Let's start by admitting up front that there has never, in all of United States history, a Presidency this corrupt. More amazingly, they are blatant about this corruption. They tell you to your face that they are corrupt. They admit day-in and day-out the crimes that they commit and just assume we will not care and for the most part they are right.

The United States Senate recently acquitted Donald Trump despite admitting that he was guilty of what the House managers claimed. Any of you that are parents know that if a child has no consequences when they do something wrong, they will be emboldened in the future and act out worse. A child tests the bounds of what they can get away with, and then will push that boundary further and further. There is no bigger petulant child than Trump. The Senate acquitted him and he predictably is acting even worse.

I was shocked that Senators like Susan Collins, Lamar Alexander, and Marco Rubio all believed that somehow Trump being impeached by the U.S. House was actually going to reign in his behavior. In order to believe that they would have to have been asleep for the last four years. Because anyone who has been paying attention during that time knows that Donald Trump is incapable of learning.

Since being acquitted less than 2 weeks ago, Trump has fired those who testified against him, including Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (purple heart recipient) and his own ambassador to the E.U. Gordon Sondland, and he has coerced Attorney General William Barr to impact a case that involves Trump's goon, Roger Stone. Stone was facing 7-9 years in federal prison, for among other things, ignoring a judge's order and threatening a witness, but Trump got Barr to change the guidelines.

I have believed since the beginning that Bill Barr is putting his thumb on the scale of the justice department, but this last act, which cause the four career prosecutors on the case to resign in protest, is reason enough for Barr to be removed from his post. He is looking to protect Trump's thugs and not putting justice first. It is time to remove this incredibly corrupt man.

Media outlets keep saying that Barr had a stellar reputation before joining Trump, but that simply is not true. During his time as AG during the George H.W. Bush administration, Barr did the same types of things, looking to shield the likes of Ollie North from prosecution. It is time to impeach Bill Barr.
