Trump Parasites Infesting Societal Safeguards


                                        Good Day World!

Every corporation that wants a pass on Clean Water compliance is invited to privately meet with one of Trump's parasites in power...Scott Pruitt.

In a new directive, Pruitt said he will make final critical decisions about preservation of streams, ponds and wetlands.

In the memo, Pruitt directed EPA regional offices to "cede their Clean Water Act determinations" to him.

In other words, Pruitt intends to disregard any suggestions that EPA scientists and local EPA officials make, and to pursue his overriding agenda of doing away with all the nations protection for our waterways.

The result of the new memo:

Pruitt, who knows nothing about local environmental conditions, will be making the decisions about wetlands and waterways he's probably never seen.

Prior to the memo, Headquarters approval was just a rubber stamp because they knew regional offices and scientists had the expertise.

The latest move by Pruitt is his Plan B, as it is becoming increasingly clear that his Clean Water rewrite plan is illegal and will be tossed out in court.

Pruitt is only one example of how Trump plants partisan ticks into key government positions in order to further his hateful agendas.

Let's not forget, this is the same scumbag that's already under scrutiny for renting a room in a condo from the wife of an energy lobbyist and for a $120,000 work trip to Italy last year.

The Atlantic also pointed out yesterday that Pruitt put in for huge raise for two of his Oklahoma buddies, and the White House turned him down; which apparently didn't stop him from still finagling a $28,000, and $57,000, raise for them.

After the Atlantic's report, Pruitt claimed he didn't know jack didley shit about those raises, and as soon as he found out he rescinded them immediately.

Yeah, right Pru boy.

Meanwhile, the courts are doing their part in trying to protect the country.

Still, it's going to take a big turnout of Democratic voters in the midterms to start reversing Trump's parasitic infections in our government.

Every Time Trump Has a Twitter Tantrum Stocks Plunge

Good Day World! 

Wall Street should be worried.

Traders and investors have been trying to adjust for Trump's tantrums since he took office. Lately, the tantrums are punishing Amazon investors.

Trump, who hates Amazon's owner, Jeff Bezos, has seized  onto a conspiracy of his own making; that Amazon is ripping off the U.S. Postal Service and billions of dollars are being wasted because of the company.

Anyone bothering to look a little closer at Trump's hatred of Bezos, also knows that he owns The Washington Post, a publication Trump loathes!

So far, Trump's attacks have wiped out billions of dollars of the company's stocks, which plunge every time Trump tweets about Amazon.

Other tweets focusing on Donny's trade war with the world have been contributing to the instability that has rocked the stock market recently.

Bloomberg reported that stocks are on track for their worst April since 1929. Remember what happened that year? You got it...the stock market collapsed.

The fact that we have a president who recklessly attacks our own economy and his perceived enemies while claiming to help it, doesn't bode well for the stock market's future.

Particularly galling, is the fact we have a moron like Trump, whose twitter tantrums are a daily occurrence, playing with Americans investments.

I'm no financial expert, or money pundit, but it's apparent to me that as long as Trump sits in that Oval Office governing by tweets, the stock market is going to be in for a long (and ugly) roller coaster ride.

Racist Bully Trump Renews Attacks Against Immigrants

Good Day World!

Here's how classy our president is; On Easter Sunday he stood next to the Easter Bunny and touted our military.

Think about it. On a day of peace, which Easter Sunday is known worldwide for, our dictator-in-waiting also decided to boot the Dreamers out of the country.

His rants on DACA leave no doubt that he could care less about those 800,000 people currently in limbo.

He blames the Democrats of course, but anyone following what's happening in Congress knows full well he cares more about his multi-billion dollar wall than in granting any kind of amnesty for the Dreamers.

What's happening is Trump has nearly gotten rid of all of his official babysitters, with the exception of chief-of-staff, John Kelly, who has become just another puppet willing to put up with anything Trump does. No matter how illegal.

It's apparent Trump has shook off all his restraints after a year-and-a-half, and has returned to his normal self - a damn racist bully!

Trump's willingness to play on deep-seated fears of the "other," helped get him elected in 2016. 

"They" were invading America,Trump argued. "They" were challenging "our" values, changing the face of America in ways that were deeply damaging to the country.

Trump has continued to blow the dog whistle as President - insisting that on everything from immigration to trade, America is under very serious threat from the "other," and that unless things change, we will lose what is fundamentally American.

Look for a relentless focus on the wall and the threats posed by allegedly unfettered immigration between now and November.

Trump is hoping to pump up his base to back up GOP midterm candidates. Political pundits believe a Blue Wave is coming in November, and this is Trump's way of fighting back.

I really wonder if anyone in Congress is ever going to stand up to Trump's racist agendas?

It's Political Deju Vu Time Folks!

Good Day World!

It's political deju vu time.

You may think it's 2018 and the midterm elections are coming up, but the Republicans think it's still the 2016 election.

Rick Wilson, a Florida-based Republican strategist and ad-maker, said the GOP's strategic bet is that shifting the focus back to Clinton "lets Republicans and Donald Trump pretend like the 2016 campaign is still going on."

Conservative news outlets have never stopped covering her with election-year intensity.

Democratic campaign officials say the GOP's throw-back message reflects the lack of an effective new one in what promises to be a tough year for Republicans.

They may have a point, but it still energizes the haters in the party.

Trump, who is already holding 2020 campaign rallies in key presidential swing states feature "lock her up!" chants.

If you've been following the GOP it's like the election never ended.

Some 17 months after Election Day 2016, Fox News is still devotes roughly equal time to Trump and Clinton, according to an analysis by the liberal media watchdog Media Matters — despite the fact that one is now a private citizen, and the other president of the United States. 

The question is how prolific Trump's base really is. The idea that they will rise in great numbers in November, united in their hate for Hillary is a flawed one in reality.

The Democrats are getting their message out and it's all about the here-and-now. Some are running on "hate Trump" platforms, but most have turned to messages that appeal to the majority of Americans.

It's no coincidence that the GOP has made villains of two women, Hillary Clinton and Nancy Pelosi. It's a reflection of the male-dominated Trump crew of puppets.

I'm looking forward to the day that Mueller exposes Trump's corruption and collusion with the Russians. I expect the chants of "Lock him up!" will ring through every city in the nation!

Time for me to walk on down the road...

Money Jesus Blesses The Money Lenders and the Wealthy

Good Day World!

It's Easter, so let's talk about Jesus Christ shall we?

Nowadays, we have the traditional Jesus Christ, you can read all about him in the Bible, and then we have Money Jesus.

Trump's pastor, Paula White is one of many extreme televangelists who preaches about Money Jesus.

She has long been a controversial figure in Christian circles, where many find fault with her promotion of the "prosperity gospel" which teaches that God bestows health and wealth on true believers, particularly those who donate money to ministers.

White's theology borders on heresy according to many Evangelicals. Still others, claiming to be Evangelicals, go along with her hypocrisy.  

In White's version of Jesus, and God, the moneylenders (reviled in the Bible) are blessed, and the wealthy are walking in the footsteps of Money Jesus.

It doesn't take a rocket scientist to suggest money is the real God to extreme Conservatives who try to cloak it in a parallel universe where the Bible has been radically revised.

Today, in churches across America, prosperity preachers are asking for money. Morally confused followers are showering them with it, in expectations of buying a spot place in Heaven.

True believers, those who do follow the Bible's teachings, need to pray for the lost souls following Trump, Paula White, and the rest of the hypocrites hiding behind religion in our nation today.

Stay Away From My Damn Coffee!

Good Day World!

As I sip my morning brew, I have a message for the Council for Education and Research on Toxics:

Lay off the attacks on my Java you clueless morons! 

A preliminary decision from a California superior court judge in Los Angeles ruled against companies like Starbucks who argued that coffee is a healthy drink.

Purveyors of coffee were told they might have to put up a warning that tells their customers there is a possible cancer link to their morning jolt of Java.

Companies have until April 10 to file objections against the ruling.

For the record, the Council for Education and Research on Toxics filed this lawsuit in 2010. 

No decision has been made yet, but this latest review by a California Supreme Court Judge said the defendants don't have enough proof to avoid putting up warnings about coffee.

Bullshit!

Coffee has been shown, over and over again, to be a healthy beverage. All this lawsuit does is make a mockery of Prop 65, confuse customers, and does nothing to improve public health.

Coffee has been much studied over the years, and research has shown that it provides several health benefits, including lowering your risk of early death.

It may reduce your risk of heart disease, multiple sclerosis, Type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer's and even some cancers like melanoma and prostate cancer.

It seems there's a trend with food and beverage products where they undergo attacks every few years or so, and are later found to be safe.

It's happened with other products, and will continue to happen when you have morons with selective agendas and the money to file frivolous lawsuits.

Trump Unleashed: Who Needs a Chief-Of-Staff?

Good Day World!

Fair warning...Donny is looking at getting rid of his chief babysitter, John Kelley, so he can go totally rogue!

Kelly's influence with The Donald has been waning lately.

Witness the fact that just about anyone can come into the Oval Office and chat it up with our Liar-In-Chief now.

When Kelley was first appointed he stopped that revolving door and tried to tighten up the West Wing. His efforts have proved useless.

Someone floated the idea to Trump that he didn't need a chief of staff. His little brain has been working on that thought since.

Since Hope Hicks left, Trump has indicated Kellanne Conway would take her placed in the interim. Trump likes her "alternate realities," as they apply to him.

The bottom line; Trump doesn't like being told anything. Especially facts, when they conflict with his rhetoric.

You think the man-child in the Oval Office has been outrageous so far?

Wait until Donny shakes off the last of his restraints, gets rid of Kelly, and appoints the head of his fan club to take his place!

Trump unleashed is a terrifying thought.

Blog Break Until Presidential Election is Over

I finally hit the wall today. I can't think of what to say about all of the madness going on in this country right now. I'm a writer...
