Neither Sleet, Snow, or Trump...

Let me start by giving my undying endorsement for the U.S. Post Office, one of the oldest institutions in the country. For the record, I am not alone as 91 percent of the American public has a positive opinion of the USPS. There is no American institution that has a higher approval rating. I run a small business, and have always used the post office for all my shipping needs and with few exceptions, they have performed their duties marvelously. If the post office is a success, then of course, life-long failure  and grifter Donald Trump, wants to get rid of it. 

Here are just some of the things we count on the USPS for. Some elderly citizens count on the post office for social security checks, and prescription medications. Our veterans also count on the USPS for their medications shipped out by the Veterans Administration. As I mentioned, thousands of small business ship goods through the USPS, and of course during a pandemic, many will be counting on the USPS to cast their ballots. 

This last issue is why Trump wants to slow down the Post Office. He doesn't want people voting in the mass, because as he has said, the more people vote, the less likely that Republicans will successfully win any election. King Donald I knows that if he can make the USPS look unreliable or make the mail-in ballots come in late, than he can more easily make the case that this American election will be rigged. I would just like to remind you all that he made the same claims in 2016 until he won an electoral college victory, and then the election wasn't rigged any more.  

I am so disgusted by this administration of criminals, that I will put on my mask and go to my local polling place and stand barefoot in a 10-hour line littered with broken glass if I have to in order to remove this monster from the oval office, and all of his co-conspirators and apologists from Congress, but many elderly and those who are autoimmune compromised are afraid to go stand in line and expose themselves to covid-19. YOU are guaranteed in the U.S. Constitution the right to vote, and Trump and his donor, Louis DeJoy - the new Postmaster General - can not be allowed to rob you of that right.

I have spoken to my local post office workers, and they have explained to me that the goal of DeJoy is to privatize the Post Office. NEVER Gonna happen Louis. In the history books you will be the Trump stain that destroyed this successful American institution. This sycophant, who lined his pockets thanks to the Trump tax cuts, is getting rid of mailboxes and has already dismantled thousands of mail-sorting machines. He testified before Congress that he is not going to put them back online. As a taxpayer, who paid for all of that, makes me sick. SHAME ON YOU Dumbo Donald. 

Trump understands that if the public votes, he is going to be destroyed in this election for countless reasons. See some of my previous posts for those details. That being the case, he is going to rig the election to prevent registered voters from having their votes counted or to keep them away because of their fear of getting sick. 

I have tried to minimize my use of the word treason because it is a loaded word, but preventing citizens from voting in a representative Democracy, is an act of treason. This is something dictators in foreign countries do in order to rig their re-election and remain in power.

We must defy this dictator. He must be defeated at the ballot box and soundly. If this Putin and Kim Jung Un in training wins re-election for another 4 years, America will never look the same. And my bigger fear is that if he wins, 4 more years will only be the beginning. He believes that he should be in office far longer than 8 years. He and his children know that the minute they are out of the White House, they are all going to jail for a lifetime of criminal activity. Our only option as Americans who love our country is to vote early, if voting by mail, or vote early if voting in person to avoid the lines to stay safe. VOTE AMERICA, VOTE!!!!

Liberties with executive orders? You Must be mistaken?

So the Dumbass-in-Chief, the vile monster of a man known as Donald J. Trump, decided to sign a series of executive orders related to the coronavirus pandemic. On the surface, this looks like a good thing, but in fact it is a stunt. Just like at every point in his life, the Trumpster is putting on a show for the low-information viewers, or in this case voters.

Before we get into the details of the executive orders, wasn't it Trump and his Republican storm troopers in Congress, who claimed for years that Obama took to many liberties with executive orders? YES IT WAS!!!!! Funny, but everything Trump has done with the exception of criminal justice reform  and the godforsaken tax cut for the super rich, has come via executive orders. 

Want to pollute the rivers? No problem we have an executive order for that. You want to deregulate the banks so we can rip off consumers again? We have an executive order for that. And so on and so on. 

But let's get to today's abortion! His series of executive orders do the following, so he claims. 1. extends unemployment benefits, which he is cutting to $400 dollars per week, through the end of the year. But he wants the states, which are already broke from dealing with the pandemic, to cover 25% of the cost of these benefits. What this means is that states and local communities will be firing teachers, police officers and first responders. Oh wait, he will get the money needed to red states, but not blue ones. !@#$ him!

2. He wants to extend moratorium on evictions but not on mortgages. So I can't evict my tenant, but his banking friends can foreclose on my mortgage. !#$#$ him!!

3. Suspend college loan payments owed on federal loans. Even a dumb, blind, stupid, reckless, psycho squirrel can find a nut every once in a while. 

4. Lastly, he decided in his own mind that he is going to suspend the payroll tax for anyone making under $100,000 but that doesn't mean you don't have to pay it. It just means you will pay it back at tax time. Both Republicans and Democrats oppose this, but of course, this lying, scum-sucking maggot said we will not have to pay it back if we vote his criminal ass back into office in November. I guess at that point the election would not be rigged???? @#$% him!!!! 

Alright, not that I have thoroughly offended you with all my curse words, Let's get down to business. This fake President is again violating the Constitution of the United States. If this document has no meaning, than lets have Trump, Roger Stone and Michael Flynn piss on it and then light it on fire. The power of the purse, or the power tax lies in article 1 with Congress. This guy is deciding what to do with taxpayer money without consulting Congress.

I hate to be redundant, but TRUMP IS VIOLATING THE LAW AGAIN. He is violating the Constitution again. I've read about serial killers who violated the law less frequently. Are you kidding?

I would call on Congress to reign him on but that ship has sailed.   

What can I say? Person, woman, man, camera, TV.

Down with Democracy?

There are 95 days until election day, NOVEMBER 3rd, and the biggest criminal ever to hold the office of the Presidency is now suggesting on his Twitter account that maybe we should delay the election? The answer to that idiot's suggestion is a resounding, NOOOOO!!!!

We have fought two World Wars, a Civil War and we have dealt with the Great Depression, and during all of it, we have held our scheduled elections without fail. Make no mistake, the current-occupant of the oval office is suggesting this because he believes he will be trounced in this election like "no one has ever seen before."

Besides suggesting that we delay the election, Dumbo Donald continues to question the validity of mail-in ballots. Mind you, he votes via mail-in ballot. He tells us that mail-in ballots lead to fraud, maybe we shouldn't count his mail-in ballot or that of his children or his staffers, who all vote via mail-in ballot. 

Five states already hold all of their elections completely by mail, long before the coronavirus pandemic, and so there is no reason that other states shouldn't offer mail-in ballots. Even Moscow Mitch McConnell and minority leader in the House of Representatives Kevin McCarthy finally developed a back-bone to softly tell dear leader that they will not hold up the election. Congress and Congress alone, has the ability to delay an election and they have never exercised that option in American History.

Trump is already telling us that this election will be rigged because he can see the writing on the wall. Lets not lose sight of the fact that there are millions of people like me, who would crawl across hot coal and then walk a mile over broken glass bare foot in order to vote this sorry excuse for a president out.

Dumbo Donald made the same claims in 2016 that the election was rigged because he believed a loss to Hillary Clinton was imminent. For once we agree Donald. The 2016 election was indeed rigged. You and your Russian comrades and their bots insured that the American public was force fed a litany of misinformation which led to your slight electoral victory. REMEMBER DON, you did not win the popular vote!!! 

Since your election in 2016, the American public has spoke out time and time again against you. In 2017, your party suffered defeats in Virginia and North Carolina, A Democrat was elected to the Senate in Alabama. That's right Alabama! And that win came over your hand-picked rapist that your endorsed. Then in 2018, the Republican Party, who sold its collective soul to a grifter and snake-oil salesman, paid mightily for its cowardice and treachery. It was the biggest turn out for a mid-term election in American history, and they turned out in droves to punish you Donald and your party for the caravans of immigrants. Where are those immigrants now? How long before he starts invoking that garbage again? 

Since the beginning I believed that a Republican who stood up to you would be rewarded at the ballot box because voters reward courage. However, we will never be able to test my theory because the Republican party has been in lock-step with your racist, bigoted agenda since the beginning. And as far as I am concerned, your party expressing their dismay to the media behind closed doors, is the ultimate act of cowardice. Stand up men and women of Congress and be leaders. That was what you were voted into office to do. Cowards!!!! Only one party has stood up to this monster and should be rewarded thusly.

Joe Biden, on his worst day ever, is a million times better man than Donald Trump!!! I have reservations about Biden's age, but I am also convinced that this good man will put the right people in place to stabilize the country, the economy and to finally begin seriously dealing with this pandemic. Donny, you can't deal with the economic crisis until you deal with the health crisis. FULL STOP.

Trump's 15 minutes are up. This cult leader needs to be voted out resoundingly. This needs to happen so that the forces on the right who might be sympathetic to Trumpism (Ignorance and Racism) will think twice before continuing this agenda beyond November 3rd. And worry not Donald, it will be November 3rd. America is sick of this tonic of division. It has nothing to do with mail-in ballots.       

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.
