The Interview: Is There A Light At The End Of The Tunnel?

Good Day World!

Could it be? 

Is the Russia/Trump investigation coming to an end soon?

Perhaps.

Mueller's request for an interview with Trump has some experts saying it sounds like the natural progression of an investigation. Apparently, it's normal to talk with the main player last.

Let us not forget however, there's nothing normal about this investigation into Trump's, and his campaign staffs, coordination and obstruction of justice.

Trump's outside legal team is trying to avoid a face-to-face interview between Trump and Mueller.

For good reason. If Donny has to sit down more than fifteen minutes and defend himself to Mueller, he's going to come unglued.

His lawyers will prep him with answers, but if he goes off-track, as he often does, he could put both feet in his mouth in minutes.

Then there's Trump's memory.

His legal team knows he can't remember all the lies he's told people. After a lifetime of lying, he's been monitored telling five-a-day since he crept into office behind Putin's bare back.

Because Trump can no longer separate reality from his own alternative universe, Mueller will be able to read his responses in real time...a chilling thought for his legal team.

The odds of the prosecutor's accepting any of Trump's lawyers attempts to avoid a face-to-face interview are (to quote Chuck Rosenberg a former U.S. Attorney) "somewhere between infinitesimally small and zero.”

Kinda like Trump's hands, and his IQ.

Guidelines For Making A Country Look Foolish

Good Day World!

I've got two questions for all the nations on earth this morning:

Do you want to look as foolish as America does right now under Trump?

Are you envious of all the laughs we're getting?

Then stop watching and found out how you too could look the fool!

For the great price of $9.99 you can follow in The Donald's wacky footsteps with this video of his first year in office. 

Some highlights in the video;

Trump on the Russian investigation: "It's making our country look foolish. And this is a country that I don't want looking foolish. And it's not going to look foolish as long as I'm here."

As we all know, Trump has managed to make the United States a mockery among nations and we couldn't look more foolish if we tried.

Now for the six guidelines on how to make your country a joke too:

1. Elect a con man clown.
2. Allow the clown/emperor to walk around naked.
3. Pretend he really cares about people while kicking them      out of the country.
4. Encourage your leader to attack people daily on Twitter.
5. Turn the other way when your new leader systematically       enriches the wealthy with crooked legislation. 
6. Attack and discredit any media that doesn't slavishly             praise your new leader.

Damage Control In Trump Land Is Falling On Deaf Ears

Good Day World!

Warning! The "book" has totally unhinged POTUS.

You haven't seen anything yet when it comes to Trump's damage control crew of clowns praising their insane leader in his hour of need.

(Illustration from Rolling Stone)

White Nationalist Stephen Miller, one of Trump's sleazier entourage, appeared on CNN yesterday with Jake Tapper, and really made an ass of himself attacking the interviewer.

But that's only part of the story...

The White House put Miller on four Sunday Shows to dodge, lie, and attack the media.

Moving on:

I've never been more proud about being an Army veteran than I was yesterday when the official Army twitter feed liked a comment made by actress Mindy Kaling.

In case you missed it, she compared her narcissistic character on the sitcom "The Office," to Trump in her viral twitter feed.

That tweet may be gone now - I suspect Donny found out about it - but it was a revealing tell about what our armed forces think about Trumplethinskin.

As far as the rest of the world goes, it's no exaggeration to say that Donny's mental acuity is being seriously questioned by world leaders. Now, more than ever.

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

Lol! 'Stable Genius' Is making America Great Again...Wink! Wink!


                                       Good Day World!

"Golleeeeie!" as deceased actor Jim Nabors use to say...
the political fallout from Michael Wolff's searing book on Donald Trump -  "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House," has unhinged Donny.

His maniacal tweets in response to the tell-all book, have been fast and furious, only furthering evidence that accusations against his mental state were accurate.

But my favorite Donny rebuttal was the one where he claimed to be a "stable genius."

I'm going to frame and hang that gem along with some of his other classic claims on Twitter, in my Hall of Shame.

Not just a genius, but a stable one. How telling is that? It's just another glimpse into Trump's alternate universe where he's loved by all.

The dictionary defines genius as a noun meaning "exceptional intellectual or creative power or other natural ability.

In Donny's case we can confidently state that he is not an intellectual (the man barely reads and has the focus of a bumble bee in heat).

That leaves creative power, and other natural ability.

If you consider P.T. Barnum a really creative guy, then there's a case for Trump's creative ability. The art of the con takes a lot of imagination and the ability to lie while looking you in the eye.

Which brings us to his natural ability.

Donny has proven to be a first-class liar. He stands in a class all of his own. He's told an average of five lies a day since he raised his tiny hand and was sworn into office.

Our Liar-In-Chief is under fire from numerous directions, not least among them is the charge of Obstructing Justice.

As he continues to melt down on Twitter, his argument for being a "stable" person (let alone a genius) withers on the vine.

Bomb Cyclones and A Political Bomb Dominate The News

Good Day World!

I know a lot of people are talking about "bomb cyclones" dropping in the eastern part of the nation, but a lot more people (worldwide) are talking about a book bomb titled, "Fire and Fury: Inside The Trump White House."

If you live on this planet, then you know the tell-all book by Michael Wolff, has sent seismic waves throughout the world of politics and the American public.

I hope I'm not understating the damage this book has wrought thus far. It was not just a bomb, it was an atomic bomb.

I wasn't surprised to hear that everyone around Trump knew he was an idiot, and acted like a child. I already knew that much by listening to his tweets last year, like the rest of the world did.

Trump's ego is on life support right now. If there's one thing in the world he gives a damn about it's his image.

Watching the world roar with laughter as all of his closest friends and family's disparaging remarks about him are revealed, must be like pouring pitch on his hairpiece and lighting it!

Wolff, in an exclusive interview on NBC's "Today," said that everyone he spoke to for the book described the president the same way...they all say he is like a child. 

Unfortunately for us all, this dangerous man child can start a nuclear war if he's pushed too hard.

So please, try not to laugh out loud when you read the book.

I've already got my copy on Kindle.

One Flew Over The White House: How Crazy Is Trump?

Good Day World!

It's another first for The Donald.

He's got people in Congress taking about the 25th Amendment.

You know, the amendment that tells you how to take down a president who is off his rocker.

Lawmakers concerned about Trump’s mental state summoned Yale University psychiatry professor Dr. Bandy X. Lee to Capitol Hill last month for two days of briefings about his recent behavior.

In an interview, Lee pointed to Trump “going back to conspiracy theories, denying things he has admitted before, his being drawn to violent videos.

Lee also warned, “We feel that the rush of tweeting is an indication of his falling apart under stress. Trump is going to get worse and will become uncontainable with the pressures of the presidency.”

Catching the State Department entirely off guard, Trump got into another tweet attack with North Korea this week, taunting Kim with a 5th grade playground my-nuclear-button-is-bigger-than-yours bullshit.

Maryland Democratic Rep. Jamie Raskin, has proposed a bill to set up a commission to evaluate the president’s fitness for office.

How far that goes is anyone's guess, but I'd hazard to say it'll fizzle out facing a Republican Congress.

But, you never know.

Trump has got a lot of people worried about his fragile mental state in Washington. A few more taunts against Kim may open a can of worms that calls for some kind of action.

A Case Of Alternate Reality: Trump Attacks The Free Press With Stupid Awards

Good Day World!

In the real world, we all know Trump is a first class liar and a disruptor of our freedoms.

We also know Trump is a man child with a bad attitude. Look no further than his dangerous game with North Korea. Tweeting about the size of his nuclear button was akin to comparing dick size with Kim. 

Trump is all about size. He's constantly defending his tiny hands.

To prove how childish he can be Trump tweeted this Wednesday:

"I will be announcing THE MOST DISHONEST & CORRUPT MEDIA AWARDS OF THE YEAR on Monday at 5:00 o’clock. Subjects will cover Dishonesty & Bad Reporting in various categories from the Fake News Media. Stay tuned!"

Trump has done his best to flip reality and stifle the truth whenever an opportunity has presented itself. Like this stupid awards thing.

It's just a gift to his base for believing his lies.

While Trump's minions laugh and applaud his childish contest, the rest of the country is hunkering down for a nuclear war.

A sitting president is not only denying reality...he's mocking it.

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

Trump's Art of Taking Credit For Things He Didn't Do

Good Day World!

In the course of my life I've seen a lot of people taking credit for things they didn't do.

Usually the claims were about small things in life - like when an office manager took credit for work that others did.

However, I never considered this bad habit could be taken to an art form until Trump bumbled into the Oval Office.

Trump's reputation for lying - with 1628 documented lies last year alone - is only exceeding by his ability to exaggerate like a modern day P.T. Barnum.

To launch the new year with style, Trump tweeted:

"Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news - it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record!"

I, and experts in commercial aviation, call bullshit on that ridiculous claim.

Here's the deal:

The Aviation Safety Network, a group based in the Netherlands, noted that it was a record year worldwide for safe commercial airline travel.

The reason why was it was the first year there were less than 100 deaths for the first time since 1946. Quite an accomplishment.

Meanwhile, back in the USA, safety experts say that the lack of fatal crashes this year in America was the result of years of effort to improve technology and training.

Trump didn't sign one piece of paper about airline safety, or new rules. That's a fact that can be checked by anyone.

Despite that, it didn't bother the Liar-In-Chief who would take credit for the sun coming up in the morning if he could get away with it. That day may not be too far off for the puppets that support him.

Once again he took credit for something he had no part in without blushing, or even batting an eyelid.

His blindly loyal base will never fact check it, and he knows it. As for the rest of the world...we'll shake our heads in disgust and pray that Trump gets lockjaw someday.

Without a doubt, Trump's ability to take credit for things he didn't do will become an art form to be copied by his mindless minions in the years ahead.

Study Says North Carolina Not A Functioning Democracy

Good Day World!

Andrew Reynolds, who has monitored elections across the world, recently exposed what's happening in North Carolina, and it's not pretty.

In 2012, Reynolds, and his Danish co-worker, Jorgen Elklit, developed a road map for evaluating democracies throughout the world.

They called it the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP). Since then they have evaluated 213 elections in 153 countries. 

Reynolds, born in North Carolina, was surprised to see the most recent report released by the EIP stating, "The state can no longer be considered a fully functioning democracy."

In the report, North Carolina's overall electoral integrity score of 58/100 placed it alongside authoritarian and pseudo-democracies like Cuba, Sierra Leone, and Indonesia.

The state did so bad on legal framework and voter registration that it ranked with Iran and Venezuela! 

Here's the kicker, not only is North Carolina the worst state in America for unfair districting, but the worse entity in the world ever analyzed by the EIP.

Wow!

The report concluded that the local government has become arbitrary and detached from popular will, and that the GOP is guilty of ignoring democratic principals in voter registration, poll culling, gerrymandering and all of the other methods of ensuring electoral results in their own favor.

The Republican party was well on it's way to eliminating fair elections before Trump slithered into office. His presidency however, has been a boon for the alt-right and corrupt Republicans.

Nowhere To Hide in 2018: Words Out - 'Emperor Donny' Has No Clothes On!

Good Day World!

There's nothing like a good cup of coffee after celebrating New Year's.

For some, like me, that coffee is a necessity. Without that caffeine blast I'd be like a zombie the rest of the day.

Today's topic:

For most of last year congressional Republicans tried to pretend Trump wasn't an egotistical, racist maniac with dementia.

By year's end the GOP was divided after Trump revealed the true depths of his depravity by trying to destroy our democracy in 12 months.

As far as the rest of America...the majority was able to see that besides having small hands, Trump also has a very small dick.

In the waning six days of 2017, Trump played golf and sent out nasty tweets to the world. Of course, when Trump found out he was being filmed golfing he took steps to stop that.

It was a moment of glaring truth when a Trumpie pulled up in a van to block the news crews from recording the Liar-In-Chief on the links.

Guilt for claiming Obama played too much golf? I highly doubt that. The man is shameless. He just doesn't want his base to catch him flat-out lying about what he's been telling them.

To assure future news crews that there would no longer be good views, a crew came in and planted fully grown trees in all the gaps that allowed for a view of Trump's golf course.

I wonder how many Trump supporters were aware of it? Just guessing, but I suspect very few, as they enjoy their fake news like Fox & Friends, or at Brietbart News, who wouldn't cover anything remotely negative about their master.

But the overall revelation by our intelligence communities that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, and did what it could to help Trump win, was the real eye-opener.

That, followed by a conspiracy between Trump and his campaign staff and Russia, which is still rolling out like a serial drama.

While Mueller's special investigation continues to connect the dots, the evidence piles up for a case of obstruction of justice on Donny's part.

It looks a lot like Trump's not going to have anywhere to hide - with the exception of his golf courses - in 2018.

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...
