Freeze Congressional and White House Pay During Shutdowns

I can't be the only one who thought of this.

I propose that any time the leaders of the greatest country on earth have an impasse temper tantrum and shut down the government because they can't have their way, they don't get their paychecks as long as the government is shut down, AND NO BACK PAY. And while we're at it, stop their medical coverage. That goes for all congress men and women and White House officials.

Even though they are rich and it's not the same, particularly if they now have to go find and obtain their own health care coverage, that way they might just understand just a smidgeon of normal people's pain and suffering.

Somebody start a petition.

Where's the Itemization for $5 Billion for The Wall?

OK, even the Trumpster on The Apprentice would be smart enough to demand a breakdown of costs from one of his contestants if they insisted they needed $5 billion to build their wall, before he declared them winner.

Where did that figure come from, somebody's butt? I want to see the breakdown of costs. Not to mention, will The Wall really stop illegal immigrants.

Ever heard of tunneling, or flying, or um, just using the normal border crossings?

Oh, That Avenatti

Is this a comedy skit?!

So Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti is arrested on suspicion of domestic violence.

And he's thinking about running for President in 2020. He spoke at some "Democratic Wing Ding."

Sound like he's highly qualified with the latest of his many escapades. Sound like a humdinger of a candidate.

Should the Democrats be worried or rejoice?

Said Trump Never

"How can Hillary run the economy when she can't even send emails without putting entire nation at risk," Trump tweeted in June 2016. A month later, he tweeted this: "The invention of email has proven to be a very bad thing for Crooked Hillary in that it has proven her to be both incompetent and a liar!"

"How can Ivanka run the whatever she runs from the White House when she can't even send emails without putting entire nation at risk," Trump tweeted some day in the future. A month later, he'll tweet this: "The invention of email has proven to be a very bad thing for Crooked Ivanka in that it has proven her to be both incompetent and a liar!"

Khashoggi's Disappearance

#roguekillers mighta done it.
#themartiansdidit
that 400 pound election hacker guy sitting on his bed mighta crafted it.

after all, we should all believe dictators, because they always tell the truth, when they say "I didn't do it."

AND, do ya think being a Washington Post reporter has anything to do with the President siding with Saudi Arabia?

Kinda makes you wonder what would have happened if it had been a Fox News reporter.

Can you imagine the possibilities!?

Hiring a Contract Killer?

Dear Mr Pope,

I hear you saying that having an abortion is like 'hiring a contract killer.'

I reckon that Catholic (and other religious) priest raping children is like being your own contract killer.

Just sayin'.

#WhiteMenDontGetIt #WhiteMenDontCare

With the exception of the very few, White Men don't get sexually assaulted.

They don't get it. They don't know how it feels, and they never will. They don't get the fear. They don't get the mental and physical pain. They don't get the humiliation. They don't get the terrifying memories that stick with you, forever.

They excuse themselves by saying, "Aw, poor lady, it may have happened to her, but somebody else did it. She's wrong." Somehow she's wrong. She is a victim and she gets the death threats. People feel sorry for him.

White men don't get it. (or... they don't care?)

They don't get it.

They. Don't. Get. It.

The standard of the presidency and now the Supreme Court (well... again the Supreme Court) has reached a terribly low standard.

Farewell McCain

August 27 2018

He had just about everything you wish a real President had.

"We weaken our greatness when we confuse our patriotism with rivalries that have sown resentment and hatred and violence in all the corners of the globe. We weaken it when we hide behind walls rather than tear them down, when we doubt the power of our ideals rather than trust them to be the great force for change they have always been."

"Do not despair of our present difficulties, we believe always in the promise and greatness of America because nothing is inevitable here. "

Amen, McCain. Rest in Peace.

Just Keep On Tweeting On: #justkeeptweeting

August 23 2018

I so love it when the President tweets. Sometimes I need a dictionary. Or a spell check. Or a rationality check. But they're always so entertaining. Particularly when he's feeling a bit edgy.

So, please, Just Keep On Tweeting. Yeah.

Rudy Guliani: #thegiftthatkeepsongiving

August 24 2018

The Gift That Keeps On Giving: That would have to be Rudy Guiliani.

Ohhhh, poor Rudy, he has come a long way since his admirable stint as mayor during the awful 911. I almost feel sorry for him now. (almost).

But undeniably, he is the gift that keeps on giving. Keep chatting away, Rudy!

ohhhh soooooo many hastags pop into my head lately!
Each one is so special, they should be their own blog entry.

EPIC FAIL - Again. Surprised?

March 1 2018

Once again, #DoNothingCongress ignores gun violence.
Even with a  majority Republican congress, they can do nothing.

They are so much more worried about what master Trump wants and so much more worried about losing their NRA donations than saving lives, they pretend nothing is happening.

Once again, EPIC FAIL.

Gun Control: Just Ask Paul #NowIsNotTheTime Ryan About It

February 16 2018

Now is not the time, says Paul Ryan, to talk about gun control, after 17 people were killed in the high school in Florida, in YET AGAIN, ANOTHER massacre in America and YET AGAIN, in a school. 

I guess it's um... not the time when people are grieving.

So, Paul #NowIsNotTheTime Ryan, when is the time?

Health Care: Repeal First, Then Replace!

July 4 2017

Great idea!

Wait - is it?

The American people (not the rich swamp politicians, but everybody else, of course) are floating in the middle of the ocean on this big boat.

Rich swamp politicians say, "this boat is a piece of crap!" (Nevermind it's keeping Americans afloat.) "Let's repeal it and sink the boat!"

American people say, "Wait, what happens when our boat is gone?"

Rich swamp politicians: "Who cares! We'll figure it out and replace it later! We've never come up with an alternate idea before, but that's not the point! This boat is a piece of crap because our political enemy created it!"

Rich swamp politicians (who are floating in their personal yachts) take away the boat, and most of the American people drown, because the replacement boat was going to be developed at some point in the future.

But then, with most of the American people dead, no need for health care. Win-win for the rich swamp politicians.

Happy 4rh of July, America! We will, most of us, die sooner rather than later because the most powerful nation on earth couldn't agree on a Revenge Health Care Plan, but they can agree to sink the boat that's floating.

The Goverment: Real News. Trust Us!

June 28 2017

Get this straight, America.

ONLY the news that Trump tells is true. Anything in disagreement is #FakeNews.

Trust him! He and his #DrainTheSwamp government never lie! Trust them!

Fox News Making Great New Name For Itself

  May 24 2017

Fox News Retracts Seth Rich Story That Stirred Controversy (what - was that #FakeNews !?!?)

Let's see, what else, in the last few months:

 

Roger Ailles, alleged slimeball and sexual harasser.

Bill O'Reilly, alleged slimeball and sexual harasser. 

What's going on now with that blathering Sean Hannity?

I got a better logo for Fox:

Fox News: Fair and Balanced Fake and Bogus

Sex, Lies, Audiotape

Check, check, check, we've got all that in our president. 

that and more.

make your health care unaffordable? stealing from the poor to give to the rich? ties to Russia? lies? fibs? delusions? does he really believe all he says? or does he have bad advisors? either way does that make him smart or stupid? can a billionaire, or bankrupt billionaire, relate to any real people in America? do billionaires give a shit about poor people (who are anybody less than themselves)? 

none of this will make America great again.

Politics as usual, from billionaires in the swamp.

Death Panels to Return

While the Democrat (Alt News) plan for Death Panels was once ridiculed, the New Republicans have decided they aren't such a bad idea after all.

"Old Peeps are halfway to dead anyway," said the New Republic Prezident. "This will save billions of dollars on the New Health Care, and will make it way cheaper for younger pretty people. We will all (excepting Old Peeps), see more money flow into our per$onal coffer$.

"I will appoint a few friends of mine to decide all the cases on the New Death Panel, so things will run smoothly."

#NeverFear. #TrustUs. Things are under control.
