We Are Paying Attention

January 23, 2020

Long-time friend of this blog, Steve Gallop has asked us to post the following plea to Americans:

America is at a crossroads. We have a renegade president who neither understands nor cares to obey the laws of this nation.  He has been impeached and is now on "trial" in the Senate. It is critical that all of us contact - via phone, email, or mail - our Republican senators and tell them in no uncertain terms that we are paying attention. Signing online petitions is not enough. Contact your senator personally.

I just sent this to my senator. I also sent it to the editor of my local paper.  Feel free to use any or all of this to apply pressure to Republican enablers. They value their jobs above all else. Let them know we are watching them.

Dear Senator Toomey:

I have placed several calls to your office in hopes of learning your position on the current impeachment proceedings.  It appears I have gotten my answer via your votes on the first day of Senate hearings when you and every other Republican senator voted against allowing new witnesses or new evidence to be included in these hearings.  I hope I am missing something. 

I, along with a large majority of Americans, am of the opinion that a trial requires witnesses and documentary evidence.  Since the White House forbade testimony by key witnesses and withheld every bit of evidence during the House investigation, is seems essential that the Senate hear these witnesses and view all pertinent evidence in order to arrive at an informed verdict.

As I watch the Senate hearings, I am reminded of the considerable and credible evidence brought forth during the House impeachment hearings, all of which seem to point to the distinct possibility that President Trump was applying pressure on an ally in order to obtain advantage in his re-election bid and that the White House was actively obstructing Congress’ investigation thereof.
We recently learned that the GAO concluded that President Trump broke the law by withholding funds from Ukraine that were approved by Congress.  These, of course, are the funds at the heart of the impeachment.

The president’s defense team has provided little or no substantive rebuttal to any incriminating testimony or evidence.  It seems the president's lawyers are focused more on what they claim are procedural shortcomings rather than anything substantive to do with the voluminous evidence provided during the House investigation, which resulted in two articles of impeachment against President Trump.

If in fact, as President Trump repeatedly claims, the phone call with Ukrainian President Zelensky was “a perfect phone call,” then there can be no good reason to deprive the American people of the opportunity to learn as much as possible, in order for us to feel confident that the president should be exonerated.  This is the only way to bring this matter to an appropriate conclusion.  It is difficult to understand why the president would not want those who had first hand information about his perfect phone call and could exonerate him, to testify under oath in public.  I would think that the president himself would be anxious to have his name cleared on the record, rather than as a result of an acquittal without a trial.

I would greatly appreciate hearing directly from you where you stand on the issue of an actual trial with witnesses and documentary evidence being made public versus an acquittal without any trial, which looks for all intents and purposes like an attempt to keep the American people in the dark.
I may not understand all the legal and procedural nuances of these hearings, but from what I have been able to discern, you and all your Republican colleagues voted against every single amendment proposed by Democrats to allow witnesses and/or documents.  Please let me know if I am mistaken in my conclusion.

Lastly, yesterday I was stunned to hear President Trump tell reporters, “I got to watch enough — I thought our team did a very good job. But honestly, we have all the material. They don’t have the material.”  I hope you took the time to view this shocking video admission.  I know of no other way to interpret this except as President Trump describing obstruction of Congress.

I hope you and your Senate colleagues will find the courage and patriotism to stand up for our Constitution and not simply for your party’s leader who insists he is above the law.

Sincerely,

Steven J. Gallop, OD

Moscow On The Potomac

Make America Russia Already

January 22, 2020  
Dosvedonald Chrump and Moscow Mitch McConnell continue their relentless Russiafication of the United States.

Pre-coital bonding

Ukraine’s Orange Revolution was a push away from Russian corruption and toward democracy.  It was ultimately unable to extricate Ukraine from its history of corruption, but ultimately Ukraine elected a comedian, who by all appearances finally meant to leave behind all the corruption and make a serious attempt at real democracy.  So what happens?  The world’s self-proclaimed greatest force for democracy leans on him as hard as Russia ever could.  The American president immediately steps in and demands Ukraine pretend to investigate a political rival in order to receive military assistance that had already been promised by the U.S.

America’s Orange Revolution was the exact opposite.  The 2016 revolution that put an Orange Gas Cloud in the White House looks to make America Russia.  Not to “make America great again” (a plagiarized slogan to begin with), not to make America anything again (with the possible exception of a bastion of racism and hatred not seen since the Civil Rights Movement, if not the Civil War Era).  Instead it wants to make America something new and even more grotesque.  America is now under the tiny thumb of a Revolting Orange Gas Cloud that cares for nothing other than its own aggrandizement, power and greed.

Before Dosvedonald came along, Moscow Mitch was already hard at work Russiafying America.  The most obvious move that put Mitch on the anti-democracy map was proudly stating, “The single most important thing we want to achieve is for President Obama to be a one-term president.”  Honor his oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States?  Pshaw.  Do everything in his power to achieve results for the betterment of the people of the United States?  Yeah, right. 

The one, the only – Moscow Mitch McConnell

When McConnell’s mission to deny Obama a second term did not pan out, McConnell continued stonewalling everything Obama tried to do.  Perhaps most important was McConnell’s blocking of judicial appointments all across the country.  Then he hijacked Merrick Garland’s nomination to the Supreme Court after the long-hoped-for demise of the delusional Antonin Scalia, who claimed to be channeling the Founding Fathers.  Scalia claimed to be an “originalist” who knew exactly what the drafters of the Constitution meant by every word and phrase, something even they would not have claimed.  Garland was a highly qualified nominee, greatly respected on both sides of the aisle, who Moscow Mitch refused even a hearing – because he knew Garland would fly through the process and attain the seat on the highest court that was Obama’s to give. 
Since then, McConnell has packed the federal courts with young, unqualified ideologues who will change the face of this country for the rest of our lifetimes. 

While over at the Supreme Court, McConnell has handed Chrump and America the lightweight Neil Gorsuch and the credibly-accused sexual assaulter and unabashed beer lover Brett Kavanaugh.  

Now Moscow Mitch is trying to hide the impeachment trial from the American people by holding the hearings under cover of night and by keeping the press at bay.  He did not attempt to hide his intention to make a mockery of this impeachment trial, or his utter contempt for his special oath to be an impartial arbiter of this serious trial.  Not to mention his absolute disdain for the American people – will they ever notice?

 

For his part, Orange Don invited top level Russians – our perennial adversaries, to say the least – into the Oval Office just a few months into his anti-presidency, and shared sensitive national security secrets.  Two years later, while Russia continued their years-long invasion of and war on Ukraine – our ally – Chrump illegally withheld military funds (approved by Congress and signed by him) in return for demanding corrupt action by Ukraine to the benefit of Chrump himself.  This scared the crap out of the newly elected Ukrainian president, while pleasing Chrump’s benefactor Vladimir Putin no end.

Where will McConnell’s and Chrump’s Moscow on the Potomac take us next?  Cancel the upcoming presidential election?  Allow the election to proceed, hoping that all the voter suppression and Russian meddling will do the trick and then deny any result that goes against Chrump, McConnell and Russia?  Stay tuned. 

If ever a president needed to be limited to one term, #45 is the one.  Despite having the best words, though he has clearly kept them all to himself, despite knowing more than everyone about everything, this president has made George W. Bush look like George Washington.  Chrump doesn’t know where China is.  He said that Seoul, South Korea was too close to North Korea and needed to move.  He only recently learned what Pearl Harbor had to do with anything. 

America needs another Orange Revolution

Medical experts talk about things like smoking, excessive drinking, drug abuse, poor eating and sleeping habits taking so many years off a person’s lifespan.  Every day Dosvedonald Chrump remains in office shortens the lifespan of the United States of America.  He is the human equivalent of wanton opioid abuse and he will kill us if we do not get the help we need.  Immediately.

Bummer Reruns

Blather, Retch, Repeat

January 20, 2020

While on the surface this looks like pure, unadulterated bullchrump, the insistence of Chrump and other assorted mental midgets like Rand Paul that Hunter Biden, Joe Biden and the Constitutionally-protected whistleblower be called to testify at Chrump’s imminent (in the actual sense of the word, not the new Orwellian anti-definition foisted on us in recent times by Chrump’s hench-mutants) is as stale as Moscow Mitch McConnell’s daily breath.

Chrump greets press corps for rare press event sans choppers



This whole scenario hearkens back to the time period after September 11, 2001.  Everyone in the entire world knew that 16 out of 19 suicide terrorists responsible for the 9/11 attacks were Saudi nationals.  This was inconvenient for two main reasons. 1) The Bush family and the House of Saud as well as a wealthy family by the name of bin Laden, by that time, had a decades-long bond that was thicker than blood – it smelled like crude oil and was the pigment of money, and 2) the Bush family has just whisked every Saudi they could rustle up out of the country when no one else in the nation was even permitted to fly.  Needless to say, a better scapegoat was needed to deflect America’s attention away from the real perpetrators.  Et voilà, in a neocon/greed-fueled drunken stupor, a new baby war was conceived in a faraway land called Iraq.  That little war eventually grew to be a man and is now so disenchanted it wants to kill those who brought it into the world.

One of America’s very special presidents

Now we have the amoral, cornered rat known as Donald Chrump, desperate to avoid the proverbial hangman’s noose for crimes against the Constitution and the nation.  Crimes he himself admitted to repeatedly.  On television.  On Twitter.  As always with this ne’er-do-well, he has one play in his 280-character playbook.  Blame. Someone. Else.  Chrump wants the focus to be on the subject of his crime, not the actual criminal.  I suppose the “thinking” is, “If Hunter Biden hadn’t done something that countless sons-of-power before and after him have done (Ivanka and Don, Jr. leap to mind) that I could use to tar his father who is likely to kick my fat ass in November, then I could not have used that alleged information to bribe, extort and blackmail the president of Ukraine for my own personal benefit.  So obviously, Hunter Biden is the cause of all this illegal business I clearly perpetrated.  And that radical leftist whistleblower who I personally appointed to my administration without ever meeting or knowing in any way, is clearly guilty of not just following orders.  And Joe Biden should have known better than to challenge my supreme authority by running against me in a Constitutionally mandated election.”  SSDD.

Is Zelensky thinking what we’re thinking?

Similarly, as we were led down the garden path of reasons for illegally invading Iraq from Iraqi liberation to Iraqi women’s liberation to Saddam was working with al Queda to weapons of mass destruction all the way to “weapons of mass destruction program related activities,” which of course, never materialized, and then Bush tried to frighten us with the threat of the “smoking gun that could come in the form of a mushroom cloud.  Ultimately, we got:

And then Dick Cheney shot a man in the face in to dispel any lingering doubts

In today’s version we have Chrump’s excuses for assassinating an Iranian official (albeit one who no one outside of Iran would rather see alive than dead) go from intelligence on an imminent threat to blow up an embassy, to Chrump saying, “I think it would have been four embassies, could have been military bases, could have been a lot of other things too, but it was imminent”, maybe it was a Burger King, or Wendy’s or a Cheesecake Factory, maybe a stray cat – who knows?  Then, according to Mike Pompeo, “There is no doubt that there were [sic] a series of imminent attacks being plotted by Qasem Soleimani.  We don’t know precisely when, we don’t know precisely where, but it was real.” Then they moved on to he was a bad guy we wanted to kill because he had done bad things that had been imminent prior to the time he did them.  SSDD.
 
When it comes to providing the American public with a satisfactory explanation as to why, at that particular point in time it suddenly became critical to take out Soleimani, Chrump has been cagey-A, and Pompeo has been cagey-B.

Oh, and then we learned that the Chrumpies had been looking for the right excuse to kill Soleimani for seven months.  If that’s not imminent, then nothing (or everything) is (or isn't).

Thought For The Day

Most Perfect Name Ever

January 18, 2020

This guy’s name is Brett McGurk.  Did he have his name legally changed after looking in the mirror?  Or was he named by Matt Groening?

McGurk is a national security expert who has served under Presidents George W. Bush and Barack Obama, and one would imagine, was not overly pleased when he was kept on under Impeached-president Donald Chrump.

McGurk had planned to leave his post heading up the counter-ISIS campaign in mid-February 2019.  On December 22, 2018, following Chrump's decision to withdraw troops from Syria, McGurk announced his resignation effective December 31, 2018.  

Chrump tweeted in response to McGurk’s announcement that he did not know McGurk and questioned if McGurk was a “grandstander.”  Of course he did. 

This has been your Paying Attention Thought For The Day.

You're welcome.

What is your thought for the day?

Lev Well Enough Alone

He Said, Who Cares

January 17, 2020

I am looking forward to Moscow Mitch McConnell’s rationale for ignoring the wave of evidence from Rudy Giuliani’s close associate, the currently indicted Lev Parnas.  Parnas worked directly for Rudy Giuliani and by definition for Donald Chrump in their efforts to defraud America by extorting Ukraine.  Parnas appears to have a truckload of evidence that is less than helpful if one is trying to prove that Chrump did nothing but make perfect phone calls.

Parnas has in fact made it clear that Donald Chrump knew more about the illegal operation to withhold Congressionally-approved funds from Ukraine in exchange for damaging Chrump’s opponent than Richard Nixon knew about the Watergate break-in to damage his opponent.  Nixon famously ran screaming into the night rather than face what Chrump now faces – a Senate impeachment trial.

I can hear McConnell now, “My fellow Americans, we simply cannot trust anything we see or hear from Mr. Parnas.  The reason is very simple.  Mr. Parnas is an unsavory character of the lowest degree.  His accusations, physical evidence, even the fact that much of what he told interviewers has been corroborated by countless other witnesses, cannot be taken at face value.  This does not mean however, that the Senate will in any way try to ascertain the facts in this matter, not for one single second.  Just look at the people he associates with.  One of Parnas’ known associates is whacky conspiracy theorist and all-around nut-job, who constantly admits to crimes on television and is currently under criminal investigation by the Southern District of New York – Rudy Giuliani.  Giuliani, as you know has been the personal attorney for one of the most dishonest, anti-American, Russian sympathizers – beside me of course – the unrepentant sociopath and frequent companion of Parnas – Impeached-president Donald Chrump, who is now on trial in the Senate.  Until proven otherwise, by evidence I personally will be refusing to look at, there is simply no way Parnas can be considered a credible witness.  If you have any further questions on this matter, I suggest you shut the fuck up.  I’m Mitch McConnell and I run this town.”

 

Igor Fruman, Lev Parnas and two very unsavory characters, and if you zoom out…

Pictures of Chrump with Lev Parnas, the man he never met or knew

It is entirely possible that Lev Parnas, proprietor of a company called “Fraud Guarantee” and recently indicted on campaign finance violations, is lying about some or all of his claims.  Except, most if not all of what Parnas is saying aligns neatly with the dozen-plus career diplomats whose sworn testimony ultimately led to the impeachment of Donald Chrump.  Every single witness in a position to exonerate Chrump was prohibited from testifying by Chrump himself.  Every. Single. One.

While it is possible that Parnas is lying, it is dead certain that Rudy Giuliani and Mitch McConnell (and Bill Barr – hold on, he’ll be here in two sentences) are lying.  And it is an irrefutable fact that Donald Chrump is constitutionally incapable of telling the truth about anything. 

If you see the ringleader of this criminal enterprise,
protect your scruples, your reputation and your pussy



It also turns out that Attorney General Bill Barr has been sitting on all the documents, phone records and other evidence Parnas recently shared with House investigators for several months.  Barr could not have known that Parnas was planning to hand over his documents and likely hoped it would all just disappear.  Parnas himself only recently came to repossess his personal effects, which had been confiscated when he was arrested at the airport before attempting to board his one-way flight to Vienna, shortly after lunching with Giuliani at a Chrump property.

Whole Lotta Swearin’ (In) Going On  

January 16, 2020  

Cats and kittens, boys and girls, ladies and gentlemen, all the ships and clippers at sea, it looks like I picked a bad day to stop smoking, sniffing glue and watching the news.

Today at noon for only the third time in the history of our republic, House Managers will transmit articles of impeachment against Donald Chrump to the Secretary of the Senate.  Then, Sen. Chuck Grassley will swear in Chief Justice John Roberts, who will in turn swear in the entire Senate, who in their turn will either faithfully execute, or pretend to faithfully execute their Constitutional duty as jurors in the most solemn, consequential trial in American politics and history.  The actual trial is slated to begin next Tuesday.

Thus will begin the possible impeachment trial of Impeached-45^th president Donald J. Chrump.  Nothing is certain at this point since Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, who is beholden only to Donald Chrump and Vladimir Putin rather than the People and the Constitution of the United States, has all but promised to shunt the proceedings straight into the sewers of our nation’s Capital. 
 

This marks the final phase of the first impeachment of Donald Chrump, the only president to be impeached during his first term.  Given the tsunami of damning evidence that continues to wash over Washington, DC, there does exist the possibility of more impeachment hoopla yet to come.

Chrump, as expected took everything in stride and brushed off the entire affair during a brief statement.

“Just a hoax.  I will never be impeached.  Pelosi will be impeached.”

Many people are worried about Chrump’s reaction once someone draws the short straw and has the unenviable task of trying to explain to the very stable genius exactly what impeachment means.  An anonymous Republican’t Senator told Paying Attention, “I pity the unlucky soul tasked with attempting to explain the meaning of impeachment and the upcoming trial to determine whether Mr. Chrump will be removed from office.  I just don’t see how this can be done with pictures, and we all know what happens to words, especially complete sentences, let alone a paragraph, must be conveyed to the president.  On the outside chance that the reality of the situation begins to dawn on Mr. Chrump at some point, I certainly hope there is a support team at the ready to protect the guy spelling this all out.  I would not want to be alone with Mr. Chrump at that moment.  I just hope we don’t end up with another drone incident based on another imminent event.  I’d sure hate to lose Capitol Hill over this.  I’ve already sent my family back home as have many of my colleagues here in DC.  I might be a lying philanderer, but I still love my kids…and my wife too, I suppose.”

As Bad As It Gets

The Planet You Save May Be Your Own

January 14, 2020

I really hope that the impending environmental crisis, which is currently doing everything possible to convince the human race that their days are numbered and rapidly burning to a crisp, becomes a major issue in the upcoming election.  Anyone who can look on, watching millions and millions of God’s creatures destroyed because humans are too selfish to protect the planet from themselves, and not get the message that things had better change and fast, really need to pack their bags and move to another planet.

Jack Nicholson – As Good as It Gets

Some of you might be familiar with this touching, classic line from the Academy Award winning film.  I found myself thinking about this line the other day as some news person showed a clip of the Orange Gas Cloud on January 9, 2020 saying, “That’s a very sore subject.  I want clean air and clean water.  I want the cleanest air with the cleanest water.  The environment is very important to me.” 

Chrump lets loose on his love of the environment

Then the disgusted, frustrated commentator, clearly at-wits’-end, described Chrump’s latest move to add to the total destruction of as much of the planet as possible, as quickly as possible.  It seems Mr. Chrump was not being entirely honest about his love for the environment.  Makes one wonder what else he might have lied about.

Chrump’s latest assault on Mother Nature and all of us who cannot live on merely hairspray and hamberders proposes to gut 50-year-old environmental impact statements, killing the ability of local communities, native tribes and others to delay or block mining, drilling and infrastructure development in favor of protecting the environment.  According to Chrump and his anti-science, anti-environment, climate-crisis-denying, flat-Earth aficionados, there is simply too much waiting while a bunch of liberal, tree-hugging, losers try to assess possible environmental repercussions of gouging, drilling, stripping and otherwise trashing everything and anything in deference to getting the already rich to be even richer as quickly as possible by sucking the rest of us dry and stealing the planet from our children.

Pure poison personified.

My first thought, after throwing up in my mouth a little was, “Donald Chrump makes me want to be a worse person.”  I am not a violent person, but it is illegal to write or to speak aloud the kind of things that went through my mind.  But it is perfectly acceptable for the most protected man on the planet to blithely lie right to our faces about his feelings for the environment, while out of the other side of the misshapen, malignant mouth that spews the horrific bile concocted by his very, very large uh-brain.  Chrump constantly talks about raping and murdering the very planet on which, despite his complete lack of awareness thereof, he shares with the rest of us. 

Meanwhile, Puerto Rico, the land that Racist-in-chief Chrump continues to forget because it is full of brown people, got whacked by a serious earthquake.  Puerto Rico is still waiting for promised funds for hurricane clean-up.  As much as I would hate to do this to Puerto Rico, or anyone for that matter, Chrump should be tethered to a palm tree in Puerto Rico.  Not like someone about to be burned at the stake, he could be on a long leash so he would be able to move around – I’m angry, but I am not a monster.  People could throw rolls of paper towels to him, but not at him; I’m sure he has the best reflexes.  Once he learns his lesson and releases the funds, without demanding Puerto Rico do him a favor though, we can discuss bringing him back to the mainland.  That is, assuming we still have room.  As Chrump likes to tell refugees who are not from Norway, or Whiteland or those other non-shithole countries he deems acceptable, it is too crowded here.

Everybody Knows This is Nowhere

The Fact That the Chrump Administration Claims to Have Intelligence Is On Its Face Absurd

January 13, 2020

What a bunch of happy horseshit.  But, all this drivel about fending off an imminent threat by Soleimani can’t really be horseshit because horseshit occurs in nature and what Chrump and his sniveling sycophants did was an abomination against nature and democracy.  So, call it what you will, this entire episode is just another – albeit infinitely worse by degree – in the endless transgressions against America and humanity by Chrump.

They say that Soleimani, who has been well known to American intelligence and military for decades, was plotting an attack against American forces and/or interests.  Of course he was.  That was his entire raison d'être.  If as seems likely, Soleimani had just perpetrated some nasty business against America, it is simply a given that he was preparing his next massacre.  What the fuck else would he be doing on day ending in “y”?

Also, if he was in fact on the eve of another horrendous act, then why the hell did the guy who replaced him about 30 seconds after Iran learned that their beloved terrorist had been repurposed into smithereens, not simply give the go signal?  Why is no one talking about this?

And why did the top echelon of our military/intelligence industrial complex pretend to hold a briefing that provided no intelligence (again, the satire is too obvious to have any value) and had nothing to say to members of Congress with the highest clearance level other than, “Don’t you dare ask any questions or criticize anything Dear Leader is doing, or you will be emboldening our enemy.”  Or something to that effect.  Are they fucking crazy?   Or just flexing their fascist bona fides?  No one has, will, or can do more to embolden our enemies than Donald Chrump does every damn day.

Ignore for the moment the brain-dead, and yes deplorable, wing of the Republican’t infestation.  Your Nikki Haleys, your Doug Collinses, Kevin McCarthys and the rest who could not help themselves from spewing filth about how the Democrats are in favor of the terrorists because they dare question the questionable timing of Chrump’s foray into state-sponsored murder for his own personal gain.

Moscow Mitch McConnell’s junior partner from Kentucky, and make-believe Libertarian Rand Paul came out of the meeting with not one good word to say about what he had just witnessed.

Even right-wing nut-job Mike Lee (R-UT), Ted Cruz’s illegitimate son came out of the brief briefing madder than a wet hen (whatever the hell that means), calling the briefing “insane” and “insulting.”  Why could Team Chrump not even make up something to make us think the plot they foiled was so heinous they had to act without a single thought as to what might happen next?  Why?  Because they are completely lying.  Why?  Because they have to lie since they work for the Guinness Book of World Records undisputed recordholder for lying.  You all know the old saying, “In for a penny, in for the end of modern civilization.”

In this clip Ted Cruz, who proved conclusively, on the Senate floor, that
he completely missed the message of Dr. Seuss’ Sam I Am, again shows
how painfully oblivious he is about who is who and what is what in the
world outside his head – Cruz saw himself as hero/Darth Vader in this scenario.

Naturally Lee, Utah’s very own sand snake in a suit, had to backtrack the next day, “I mentioned yesterday that it was probably the worst briefing I have ever seen on a military issue.”  He suddenly remembered that there was a worse one – the briefing on Benghazi.  There is simply no issue that does not bring Republican’ts back to Benghazi, or at least the Clintons.  There might be a good reason why the Benghazi briefing did no yield much useful information, even after the 11^th hearing apparently.  It was one of the biggest nothing-burgers of all time.

This country is in the deepest of doodoo.

I understand that with this group, sharing intelligence could be risky.  First of all, there's not all the much intelligence to go around; second, they must be worried that if they share any of theirs, they might not get any back, leaving them dumber than where they started.  But we kind of expected that anyway.

Later on, trying to clean up yet another uncleanable mess on Aisle 1600, Mike Pence, wearing his best I’m-being-very-serious-now face, which is the same face that says I-am-a-hypociritical-lying-dirty-little-weasel-but-for-some-reason-people-still-trust-me, and told the American public that some of the intelligence was simply too super-duper-if-I-told-you-I’d-have-to-kill-you-secret to entrust to a bunch of lowly Senators.  Oh, but it was okay to tell the most consistently prolific spreader-of-sensitive-top-secret-information-directly-to-our-enemies-including-Sean-Hannity – Donald Chrump.  Someone should tell Pence that most Americans never wanted him or his Orange-Blow-Pop-Boss in the first place, and the majority of us are not as stupid as he looks…or acts.

We need a Constitutional Amendment that bestows the nation’s highest security clearance to the person who wins the popular vote during the presidential election, rather than the one who wins the fake Electoral College, until such time as that horribly designed, wildly outdated institution is gone for good.  That way, at least the person who actually had the trust of the people to run the country will be able to know what is going on, and continue to keep the American people in the loop.

Does anyone remember this guy?
Why is he lying through his teeth?
Why is he not persona non grata?
Why are his teeth not even the whitest thing about him?

The Chrump administration now insists that Soleimani had to be taken out because Saddam Hussein had WMD hidden all over Iraq.

One Last Thing

The King Kong-size orangutan in the room is the fact that just about everyone has tried to keep buried in the denial file - Donald Chrump is stark-raving mad.

Boys Will Be Schmucks

Whole Lotta Grabbin’ Going On

January 11, 2020

I know that Nancy Pelosi just announced that she would be sending two articles of impeachment over to Moscow Mitch’s International House of Dead Legislation.  It seems a fait accompli that the beautiful Chrump impeachment is poised to be murdered in its sleep at the hands of McConnell.  So, before it is too late, I wanted to get this off my plate.  Since the day the full House of Representatives approved two (should have been at least five or six, but hey, what do I know) articles of impeachment, and Nancy Pelosi decided to let them ferment until her counterpart in the Senate set the ground rules.

Pelosi makes one last attempt to talk sense to the world’s most powerful toddler

Naturally, Republican’ts want to make this impeachment go away before their impeached imbecile loses his signature cool…just kidding.  During this time, when Chrump wasn’t busy flexing his “hair” to show who is boss, he was carefully calculating how to play this dangerous impeachment game…just kidding.

Chrump relaxes at one of his rallies while awaiting McConnell’s impeachment whitewash

“I don't even wait. And when you're a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. ... Grab ‘em by the pussy. You can do anything.”  With the possible exception of a dozen or so women who continue to insist that they were the victims of unwanted sexual advances and assaults at the tiny but busy hands of one Donald Chrump.

I know everyone is familiar with this despicable quote from our despicable impeached-president shortly before the 2016 election, and barely hours before his Russian benefactors unleashed Hillary Clinton’s emails in order to bury Chrump’s call to harms on the Access Hollywood bus in the waning days of the campaign.  Chrump attempted to brush the whole sordid thing under the labyrinthian carpet stuck atop his melon, calling it nothing more than locker room talk.  Many men and many locker rooms ultimately weighed in, saying, “Nobody talks like that.  That was just disgusting.”  Chrump no care.  Chrump win anyway.  Chrump strong, America stupid.

It seems Nancy Pelosi has ripped a page out of Chrump’s locker room playbook (I hope she was wearing protective gloves).  The Speaker decided she had had enough, and got herself a firm grip on the lady parts of both Mitch McConnell and Donald Chrump. 

And when you’re Speaker of the House, the let you do it.  you can do anything. …Grab ‘em by the pussy.  You can do anything.  Right now Pelosi has both hands full.  One pussy in each hand.  I hope she cuts off their blood supply.

I know it might not look like Pelosi’s grip on these two pussies is as strong as it once was, but this thing isn’t over until the bloated orange swine squeals.  And not just his regular, everyday squealing, it will sound much different.  I’m not convinced the Speaker has played her final hand.

I. Mangrey reporting.  Locker room comments invited.
