Trump Reprises Some Of His Greatest Hits In Early Morning Twitter Meltdown

By 2 Comments

Donald Trump must have had a restless Saturday night. And who could blame him! With so much on his mind … mass murders, Russia investigation, low poll numbers, the realization that his illegitimate presidency may soon come to an end … he took to Twitter Sunday morning.

Trump’s latest temper tantrum included a reprise of some of his greatest hits of all time. An attack on Obama for negotiating with Iran? It’s there. Attack on the FBI and the Justice Department? You got it. Attack on Hillary Clinton and Democrats for being sore losers? You betcha. No colluding with Russia? Of course. It’s a Trumpian mainstay!

The man who no doubt hears the Fat Lady gurgling off stage, issued the following tweets:

Expect more of the same from Trump as the long hand of justice is about to grab him by the neck for the ultimate karmic smackdown.

Trump Takes Low To New High

By 4 Comments

Trump has blamed the tragic mass shooting in Parkland, Florida on the FBI’s preoccupation with the Russia investigation. Let that sink in. He is saying if the FBI had spent more time tracking down leads on the shooter, and not leads into his potential conspiracy with a foreign adversary to swing our 2016 presidential election, the latest gun massacre may have been stopped.

Trump tweeted:

Very sad that the FBI missed all of the many signals sent out by the Florida school shooter. This is not acceptable. They are spending too much time trying to prove Russian collusion with the Trump campaign – there is no collusion. Get back to the basics and make us all proud!

Forget about the sheer inappropriateness, the lowness, of the statement. The illogic is mind-numbing!

Yes, the FBI is so small it cannot work on two things at once. And yes, the local Florida agents were all too busy working on the Mueller probe to follow up on tips about the mass shooter.

Of course, Trump is being torn to shreds on social media.

Even former acting Attorney General Sally Yates, who you may remember was fired by Trump because she would not carry out his bigoted Muslim ban, weighed in with a tweet of her own.

The woman who rarely tweets said:

Incomprehensible pain and loss at a high school, yet again, and it’s children who are the leading voices for action. Meanwhile, our president uses the tragedy to attack the investigation of a foreign adversary’s interference in our democracy. Shameful. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/965075589274177536 …

Yes, Sally … shameful. But our “so-called president” has no shame. He has no sense of decency. He has no empathy. It’s always about making himself look good.

Trump must know the end is near for him and his criminal cabal.

Far from vindicating you, Mr. Trump, Mueller’s latest indictments against 13 Russian nationals is just the appetizer that will prepare the American public for what will prove to be a very satisfying meal … your removal from office in utter disgrace.

For A Politician, An “A” From The NRA Needs To Be Seen As The “Kiss Of Death”

By 4 Comments

Another brutal, senseless mass shooting at an American school. In other words, welcome to Wednesday.

Before we once again fall into the predictable cycle of anger and despair, let’s not let it happen. Before we think there is nothing that can be done to curb gun violence in this country, let’s think again. Before we give up on politicians coming up with sensible gun safety legislation, let’s remember, we, the voters, hold the ultimate power in our great democracy.

The answer to Congress passing common sense gun legislation is as simple as giving our votes to only those politicians who are committed to voting for gun safety laws. We need to become one–issue voters much like conservative Christians and abortion.

Who are such politicians?

Thanks to the NRA and its rating system of all politicians, the answer is staring us right in the face. Do not vote for any politician with an “A” or “B” rating; give thought to any politician with a “C” rating; and vote for any politician with a “D” or “F” rating.

An “A” from the NRA needs to be seen as disqualification from holding public office, not as a badge of honor. An “A” from the NRA needs to be associated with “a” as in “accomplice” to death and violence. A high mark from the NRA needs to be viewed as a low grade in human decency.

The NRA has a website where you can look up a politician’s rating … but you have to pay for it! You may have to do some legwork to find out a politician’s NRA score.

The Washington Post put out an article today that sheds light on the NRA’s grading system and includes some information on the performance (shame) level of U.S. Senators.

It is way past time to throw out the greedy cowards occupying our halls of power.

We, the people, have had enough. Mr. “Bought-and-paid-for-politician-in-the-pocket-of-the-NRA,” your time has come. My God have mercy on your pathetic, wretched rotten soul.

Trump, Father Of Two Daughters, Supports Accused Wife Beater

By 2 Comments

White House staff secretary Rob Porter resigned Wednesday, a day after a British newspaper reported his two ex-wives had accused him of physical and verbal abuse.

On Friday, Trump defended his disgraced former aide and alleged wife-beater.

“As you probably know, he says he is innocent and you have to remember that. He said very strongly yesterday that he’s innocent,” Trump said in his first public statement on the scandal.

“He worked very hard. We found out about it recently and I was surprised by it, but we certainly wish him well and it’s a tough time for him. He did a very good job when he was in the White House,” Trump added. “And we hope he has a wonderful career and he will have a great career ahead of him. “

Trump likes to stand by his men even when they’re accused of sexual assault and misconduct against women, whether it’s his staff secretary, Roy Moore, Steve Wynn, Bill O’Reilly, Roger Ailes or Cory Lewandowski. The women must be lying is the usual refrain.

But what if some creep abused or assaulted one his daughters? Would he believe them?

I have no doubt Trump would not be defending the abuser. He would probably be callingl some of his old friends in New York … you know, goodfellas … to teach the punk a lesson in respecting women.

Something similar to that scene from The Godfather when Sonny beats the living crap out of his brother-in-law, Carlo, after he does a number on pregnant Connie’s face.

So why does a father of daughters not stand up for the rights and safety of all women? Why does he seem to always side with the low-life abusers?

Perhaps it’s as simple as “birds of a feather” … Father Trump also likes to wield power over women.

Democrats Embroiled In New Scandal … “Clapgate”

By 4 Comments

Democrats are un-American.

That is the message Donald Trump delivered yesterday during a speech at a manufacturing plant in Blue Ash, Ohio.

“They would rather see Trump do badly than our country do well. That’s what it means,” Trump told an audience of supporters. “It’s very selfish. It was bad energy.”

Trump’s accusation stems from the allegedly bad behavior Democrats exhibited at his State of the Union address last week.

Unlike Republicans, who gave Trump a rousing round of applause after every sentence uttered, Democrats sat stone-faced, unmoved.

“They were like death and un-American,” Trump added. “Somebody said ‘treasonous’. I mean, eh. I guess, why not? Can we call that treason, why not? I mean they certainly didn’t seem to love our country very much.”

As has been the pattern since the start of his presidency, some Republican lawmakers are defending Trump’s remarks, albeit with some qualification.

“I wouldn’t use the word ‘treasonous’ but boy, was it embarrassing,” said Rep Chris Collins (R-NY). “They were stoic, sitting on their hands.”

Rep. Claudia Tenney (R-NY) perhaps stated the Republican view best:

“I would say it was un-American, and they don’t love our country. I don’t know if I would go as far as treasonous, but the president is before a large audience and he likes to talk in colorful language. I sat on the Democratic side, and I was frankly appalled at the behavior of the Democrats…I thought it was terrible that they didn’t [stand] for very American ideas, and why not? They’re just about resist? What does resist mean? Obstruct. They’re not interested in dialogue. Not interested in working with us and trying to come up with solutions.”

It is only a matter of time before Trump TV (Fox News) and other conservative media outlets run with this latest supposed Democratic debacle.

Democrats have had a bad last few days. First the release of the Nunes memo that many Republicans believe exonerates Trump of any wrongdoing in the Trump-Russia probe. And now a new scandal of their own that Republicans claim demonstrates just how unpatriotic they are … “Clapgate.”

Now That He’s “Totally Vindicated,” Trump Goes Golfing

By Leave a Comment

The heat is off. The fat lady has sung. The Trump-Russia investigation will soon be no more.

At least that is what we are lead to believe by Donald Trump after the release of the “explosive” Nunes memo.

Referring to himself in the third person, Trump tweeted yesterday:

This memo totally vindicates “Trump” in probe. But the Russian Witch Hunt goes on and on. Their was no Collusion and there was no Obstruction (the word now used because, after one year of looking endlessly and finding NOTHING, collusion is dead). This is an American disgrace!

Even Donald Jr. is breathing a sigh of relief!

“There is a little bit of sweet revenge in it for me and certainly probably the family in a sense that if they wouldn’t have done this, this stuff would be going on,” said Junior on Trump TV (also known as Fox News).

And boy will Junior (and anyone else caught up in the Mueller investigation) save money! He complained on Fox about the “millions in legal fees” he had to pay in connection with the Russia probe, the time he’s had to waste and “being smeared throughout the media for a year.”

Unfortunately, the only people who believe the partisan Nunes memo marks the end of Special Prosecutor Robert Mueller’s probe are the Trumps and their diehard supporters.

The FBI, under the direction of Trump’s own appointee, Christopher Wray, issued the following statement regarding the infamous memo:

With regard to the House Intelligence Committee’s memorandum, the FBI was provided a limited opportunity to review this memo the day before the committee voted to release it. As expressed during our initial review, we have grave concerns about material omissions of fact that fundamentally impact the memo’s accuracy.

Unless Trump uses the memo as an excuse to fire him, look for Mueller and his team to religiously plow forward in their search for the truth concerning Trump-Russia collusion and obstruction of justice.

At the very least, Trump and family had an enjoyable, albeit delusional, weekend.

Trump Pulls A Muhammad Ali … Just Call Me “The Greatest”

By Leave a Comment

Donald Trump is known to be a man high on himself. He loves to blow his own horn more than “Satchmo” Louis Armstrong at a New Orleans jazz festival.

Today the nation’s chief executive boasted that some people think he is the greatest president of all time. Yes, better than the “Father of our Country” and “Honest Abe.”

At an annual retreat for Congressional Republicans in West Virginia, Trump talked about how 83-year-old Senator Orrin Hatch called him “the single greatest president in his lifetime.”

“He actually once said I’m the greatest president in the history of our country,” Trump told the lawmakers. “I said, does that include Lincoln and Washington? He said yes … I said I love this guy.”

Reached for comment, however, Hatch’s office denied the senator said such a thing.

According to a spokesperson, Hatch did say Trump was “one of the best presidents I’ve served under” and “that he would like to work with the President to make this the greatest presidency in history for the American people.”

Donald Trump, never been one to let the facts get in the way of a good story, seems to have put words in the octogenarian’s mouth.

Muhammad Ali used to call himself “The Greatest.” To many boxing fans, Ali was not only the greatest boxer but also the greatest sportsman who ever lived.

Looks as if Trump is borrowing a page from Ali’s lexicon.

But some Ali loyalists are not happy with the comparison.

“I knew Muhammad Ali,” says former sparring partner, Frank “The Man Of Steel” Steele. “And Trump is no Muhammad Ali. Where does he come off calling himself “The Greatest?”

Most Americans know by now Trump is prone to hyperbole. While he may not be the greatest president in the history of the United States, he is no doubt a legend in his own mind.

State Of The Union?… Broken

By 5 Comments

                   -“All the King’s horses and all the King’s men couldn’t put Humpty together again” 

Tonight, Donald Trump will deliver his first State of the Union address. No doubt we will hear how great the country is doing under his strong leadership. The official theme of Trump’s monologue will be “building a safe, strong, and proud America.”

The address is sure to be filled with many half-truths and outright lies. Trump will unquestionably take credit for a booming economy (stock market) that had its origins under the Obama administration. He will falsely claim this is all due to his tax cuts and deregulatory agenda.

But no matter what fiction Trump is willing to peddle, the majority of Americans won’t be buying the snake oil. They know better. They can see.

They can see a country divided like never before (at least not since the Vietnam War).

They can see hate crimes on the rise.

They can see racism displayed openly.

They can see a dysfunctional healthcare system.

They can see an unrelenting onslaught on immigrants.

They can see the looting of the treasury to benefit millionaires and corporations.

They can see an assault on the Constitution and the rule of law.

They can see a political party defending and supporting an incompetent and, mostly likely, corrupt president.

They can see the open rejection of political norms and institutions.

They can see a steady and continuing attack on the free press.

Many Americans are hoping the midterm elections will put an end to our national nightmare when it is believed Democrats will regain control of the House.

But even if Democrats flip the House and begin impeachment proceedings, it is the Senate that votes to expel a president. The odds that two-thirds of senators will vote for conviction are best described as slim.

One thing is for sure, however. The Trump regime will eventually come to an end. Unfortunately, it will take years, perhaps decades, to undo the damage done by Trump, and his band of enablers, to that great country Reagan once called “ a beacon of hope, a light unto the nations.”

What Trump’s Testimony Under Oath Might Look Like

By Leave a Comment

Donald Trump made headlines two days ago with his statement he is willing to testify under oath in the Trump-Russia probe.

“I‘m looking forward to it, actually,” Trump said of an interview with FBI Special Counsel, Robert Mueller. “I would do it under oath.”

Here is a transcript of what that testimony might look like:

FBI: “Please raise your right hand. Do you swear to tell the truth … cross your heart and hope to die?” (special Trump oath)

Trump: “I do.”

FBI: “State your name.”

Trump: “On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self- incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.”

FBI: “State your age.”

Trump: “On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self- incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.”

FBI: “ How many fingers do I have raised?”

Trump: “On the advice of counsel, I invoke my Fifth Amendment privilege against self- incrimination and respectfully decline to answer your question.”

FBI: “Which do you prefer, KFC or McDonald’s?”

Trump: “KFC, hands down.”

If and when Donald Trump testifies under oath in the Mueller investigation, many legal experts predict Trump’s attorneys will advise him not to answer any questions. Trump, for once, may actually listen to his lawyers.

Trump confidante, Roger Stone, has warned him of the dangers of testifying, saying “There’s no way the president should sit down with this guy.”

Stone added Trump “knows he’s done nothing wrong, but a first year law student would tell you that [interviewing with Mueller] is an obvious perjury trap.”

Taking the Fifth would definitely solve Trump’s serious perjury problem but open up a whole new can of worms … or bucket of Kentucky Fried Chicken… for the former reality TV star turned politician.

Trump Miffed … Mueller Still Getting Paycheck

By Leave a Comment

Donald Trump finally got the government shutdown he wanted. But to his shock and dismay, this does not put the Mueller investigation on ice.

The Justice Department has confirmed that employees in Mueller’s office are exempt from the shutdown and can continue investigating any possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. His office is not funded through the regular congressional appropriations process.

So, the probe Trump continues to call a “witch-hunt” and a “hoax” lives on even as other government functions come to an end.

“There is something very wrong with our government if I can shut it down and people still keep getting paid … they still go on with their work,” Trump told a group of reporters.

Anonymous White House sources have confirmed that Trump believed a government shutdown would end Mueller’s investigation without him having to fire the FBI special prosecutor.

“I am going to get to the bottom of this,” Trump added. “How is this possible? No doubt Crooked Hillary is involved with this.”

Perhaps someone on Trump’s staff might school him on how special counsel investigations are funded.

Trump would learn that special counsel investigations are funded by a separate “permanent indefinite appropriation” established by the Department of Justice Appropriation Act of 1988 to pay for “investigations and prosecutions by independent counsels.” In other words, Congress has already passed the appropriations bill that funds this probe, so no one’s salary is stuck in the Treasury—there is nothing preventing Mueller’s team from going to work and getting paid.

Shorting after hearing the bad news, Trump did what he does best … went golfing.
