Trump's Dream Wall To Be Paid For By The Arts and Seniors

“Choose a leader who will invest in building bridges, not walls. Books, not weapons. Morality, not corruption. Intellectualism and wisdom, not ignorance.” - Suzy Kassem

                                            Good Day World!

Building a 30-foot high wall stretching for 2000 miles between Mexico and America is not only a stupid idea (I'll tell you why in a moment), but it's a racist's fever dream.

Quick anecdote: Mexican gangs are using catapults (and in some cases drones) to launch drugs into America. Think about that for a moment. 

Now think about Trump's proposed wall going across four states, and costing between $12 billion and $15 billion... according to Congressional Republicans.

Trump's 'big, beautiful wall' will require him to take big swaths of other people's land

But, according to an internal report prepared for Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly, the real estimated cost of building Don the Con's wall is more like $21 billion.

Mexico Warns Firms That Building A Border Wall Is Not In Their Best Interests

Chump sent a budget proposal to Congress last week that included a $2.6 billion down payment for the wall. The real scary part is the total costs are unclear.

A cursory look at Rump's budget proposal plans on paying for the wall (and beefing up our already world class military) depends upon basically destroying our culture by defunding the arts and doing away with "needless" programs like "Meals On Wheels."

The same people chanting "build a wall" mistakenly believe Mexico is going to foot the cost. So far it hasn't dawned on them that they're going to pony up the loot.

Maybe Hump supporters haven't looked at his recent budget proposal. Maybe they can't read.

I'm willing to bet it'll cause a bigly stir when people are kicked off their land, and discover they've been conned by Donny Little Hand, who reached into their wallets while they were blindly cheering for him.

No Deal Donny! Last Ditch Effort For TrumpCare Fails!

Good Day World!

The Trump train was hurtling toward the abyss yesterday and only managed to stop from derailing by calling a time out.

TrumpCare wasn't going anywhere with the Republican party.

 Members savaged each other like hyenas trying to strike backdoor deals to save the rambling wreck Donny Little Hands was promoting.

But Mr. Art-Of-The Deal failed.

Even if it would have passed, TrumpCare was dead-on-arrival in the senate.

That according to Republican senators who made it clear they weren't taking a ticking time-bomb. 

Chump's hubris is off the charts. 

He assumed he could con enough people to pass a piece-of-shit legislation. As he's finding out, politics is another game - one in which he's failing at daily.

Selling real estate is not like selling a major health program to wary politicians.

Chump's chances of passing any legislation are going to be an upward battle. The irony of it all is that the battle is between Republicans. 

Today the Trump train got derailed.

Trump Strikes Back: Teenager Told to Shut Down Website Mocking Him

Good Day World!
Editor's Note: I just found out that this is a non-story. It's fake.

I should have researched sooner. I apologize to my readers.

Trumpanzees are scanning the Internet daily for anything negative about their boss.

When they discover something, like a teenager's website making fun of their orange-skinned master they respond quickly by sending out a cease and desist letter.

With all the challenges Chump faces right now, from being exposed as a liar (the now infamous Trump Tower bugging by Obama), to an open investigation on his cronies coordinating with the Russians to win the election, you'd thing he wouldn't worry about silly shit like this.

Not so. Once again he's showing the world how thin-skinned he really is.

His lawyers are going after a 17-year old girl in San Francisco because they don't think anyone should be allowed to mock the Liar-In-Chief.

The teenager in question, Lucy, created the site TrumpScratch. It allows you to use a cat to punch Trump.

Seems like harmless fun, right? Well, not according to Trump.

“I was going to just let this go, but I think it’s, pardon my French, fucking outrageous that the president of the United States has his team scouring the internet for sites like mine to send out cease-and-desists and legal-action claims if we don’t shut down,” Lucy told the Observer. 

“Meanwhile, he tweets about The Apprentice ratings and sends out power-drunk tweets about phone tapping. HOW ABOUT BEING THE PRESIDENT?”

Good point Lucy. You're acting more like an adult than our first illegitimate president.

After getting her first warning letter Lucy changed the name of the website to KittenFeed. Didn't matter. Lump's sleazy lawyers won't be content until they shut her website down.

“It’s so sad that his administration is focused more on being liked, burying real news and taking down sites like mine as they supposedly make him look bad,” Lucy said.

On the bright side, you can still go there and punch Thump to your heart's desire. I'd advise you visit the website right away however, because this is a one-sided battle.

Take A Tour Of Trump Island: A Fact Free Getaway

Good Day World!

This morning I'm going to take you on a tour of Trump Island.

Located somewhere in the world's vast oceans you'll find one very exclusive island where reality is always on vacation. 

It's inhabitants live in blissful ignorance. Each one of them have bowed before the island's god - Donald J. Trump - and vowed not to let reality harsh their highs.

Every day Trump lumbers to his outdoor toilet and passes his shit around via tweeter to the faithful. His tweets of conspiracies and outright lies are the only form of social media or so-called mainstream media on the island.

It's a paradise for racists, bigots, misogynist's, white supremacists, under-educated people, right-wing Republicans, and any member of a hate group.

On any given day you can see Rex Tillerson, Jared Kushner, Jeff Sessions, Steve Bannon, Ivanka Trump. Paul Ryan, Betsy DeVoss, Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer, and Reince Priebus strolling along the beaches sipping orange kool-aid.

When reality does manage to sneak in on the island - like when FBI Director Comey said Trump was wrong about his claim that Obama wire-tapped Trump Tower last year - there's a mild earthquake that the residents have learned to ignore.

These castaways from reality have undue influence on our society. They've become a cancer to the Republic. Democracy is threatened daily as they try to destroy the status quo.

It's up to the rest of America, the non-kool-aid drinkers, to build a great big beautiful wall around Trump Island. Of course, the inhabitants are going to have to pay for it.

Comey Confirms Investigation Of Trump Team and Russian Connections: Wiretapping Allegation is Bullshit

                                         Good Day World!

Watching the hearing of the House Intelligence Committee yesterday was like witnessing a crudely executed ballet.

The main actor, FBI Director James Comey, tiptoed around most answers. Questions were thrown out like lighting bolts from Valhalla with no hope of being answered, but at least being put on record.

What I do know is that Comey said no one wiretapped Trump Tower. Especially not President Obama with the help of a British spy agency.

Another definitive thing I discovered was that Russia has been formally accused of interfering with our presidential election, and there's a sidebar investigation looking at connecting ties with the Trump campaign and Russia.

The rest of yesterday's theatrics came from flustered Republican's doing everything they could to discredit the information they were given.

The Democrats had a pretty good time going after everyone from Trump to Rex Tillerson, Jeff Sessions, and Mike Flynn. It was open season.

Political historian Matthew Dallek, a professor at George Washington University, told reporters, "The charges involved are more serious than anything we've seen in recent decades."

and
"While we obviously don’t know what evidence the FBI has assembled and whether anybody will ever be charged with a crime, the scope of the investigation appears to encompass at least several of Trump’s chief advisers and perhaps Trump himself."

History is being made. Americans are fighting back against Russia's intrusions and an illegitimate president. No amount of lies will clear these new clouds over Chump's corrupt administration.

His deflections are getting more desperate. His last attempt - claiming Obama wiretapped him - was declared false (okay, Comey said he could find no evidence it happened). Every intel agency in the country agrees.

A big target has been drawn on The Donald's toupee (and his minions) and there will be hell to pay!

Weekend Getaways to Mar-A-Lago Cost Taxpayers Millions and Enriches Trump At The Same Time

Good Day World!

The news today is coming to you from the White House Mar-A-Lago...

It's slowly dawning on people that another one of Trump's campaign promises is nothing more than a pile of dogshit.

Remember Stump calling out Obama on travel expenses during the elections? He claimed he wouldn't have time to leave the White House on weekends because he would be too busy.

Consider this; the Obama administration averaged $8 million a year in travel. In Chump's first 30 days he exceeded that amount to the tune of $12 million.

And it's only going up.

Every time Stump decides to spend a weekend at his "Winter White House" taxpayers are dinged $3 million bucks and additional local costs that are hurting the local economy (conservative estimate).

The costs keep mounting. Hump's weekend getaways are pissing off residents in Palm Beach. For good reason.

Dave Kerner, a county commissioner for Palm Beach's third district, is asking the county’s attorney office to explore making Mar-a-Lago’s owner (Trump) reimburse the county for “special benefits” given to the resort.

The Palm Beach Sheriff’s Office says that the county has spent $570,000 to help security and other measures to protect Trump during his presidency, and that doesn't include overtime pay. 

Altogether, the bill comes to well over $1 million in Trump-related costs incurred by the county over the past few months.

Here's the kicker...Trump/Feds won't reimburse the county.

As a result, Kerner says he has no choice but to find another avenue to seek reimbursement, and charging Mar-a-Lago looks like the best option.

Palm County is currently $40 million in debt and is fighting a devastating heroin epidemic. Talk about sad. 

It's bad enough that he's draining the treasury with his weekend romps (seven out of nine weeks) but that's only part of this story.

Dump is making bank on his resort.

Can you say emoluments? 

He's doubled membership fees for Mar-A-Lago to $200,000 a year, and is in the process of making it a must destination for anyone seeking political or foreign influence and connections.

It's a financial boon to Lump because - as we all know - he still owns it and is involved with his business empire despite the dog-an-pony show his lawyer gave to the contrary two months ago.

Trump's Secret Plan To Destroy ISIS Will Stun You!

                                          Good Day World!

It's been revealed.

Now the bad guys better watch out.

Our first illegitimate president's secret plan to destroy ISIS looks an awful lot like...wait for it... President Obama's!

The Pentagon rolled out Chump's so-called secret plan the other day, but ... low and behold...it's just more of the same slow and steady approach that Obama took. 

Remember when Lump was campaigning and claimed that he had a "secret plan" to get rid of ISIS? As is the case with him so often he lied.

He told us he that was smarter than the generals. Yet, here we are. Obama 2.0. Plan in hand. 

The irony of the similarities between Obama's plan and Dump's is that as a candidate, he called Obama's ISIS's strategy a failure.

Apparently it's looking pretty good these days. Few changes were made. A sudden speeding up of the process is the new goal.

One thing is for sure, the generals say it's going to take a long time to defeat ISIS. It isn't going to be a sudden victory as promised by Dump. 

Unless the U.S. and it's partners deal with the conditions that created ISIS in the first place - grievances among Sunni Muslims who live in Iraq and Syria, where the governments are controlled by non-Sunnies - another version of ISIS will rise from the ashes.

When Trump Runs Out Of Scapegoats There's Always the Zombies

Good Day World!

Trump's use of scapegoats has taken on nearly mythical proportions since he snuck into the White House on January 20th.

Lately Donny Little Hands has taken to scapegoating countries, a step up from his personal attacks against individuals.

I can tell you the U.K. doesn't appreciate Chump's claims that they helped President Obama wiretap Trump Tower.

British spy agency GCHQ issued a rare and angry denial of a "ridiculous" allegation, repeated by White House press secretary Sean Spicer, that it eavesdropped on Thump during the election campaign. 

When contacted yesterday, White House officials promised not to make that false claim again and apologized to the British government.

That doesn't mean Rump won't repeat his lie. He seems to enjoy pissing off our allies like England and Germany.

At some point Lump, with Steve Bannon's guidance, is going to run out of scapegoats. Enter the zombies.

Take Bannon's apocalyptic vision for our future - tear down the government and see who survives in the aftermath. It's not too big a stretch to think the zombies will emerge from the chaos.

In that post-apocalyptic era people will be so numb that they'll believe anything. Hump's core supporters already do.

If he told them right now that zombies were undermining our intelligence agencies they'd show up with torches and fully automatic AR-15s outside the various intel agencies.

Some of Dump's opposition believe that his followers are zombies - just waiting for their master's directions.

Currently zombies are popular entertainment and grist for movies and TV shows. 

Hump knows this. When the day comes and he needs new scapegoats he knows he can count on the zombies.

There's always the zombies.

Oh Look! A Trump Story Overriding Another Trump Story and So On

Good Day World!

Donny Little Hands loves manipulating the media.

When too may news sources start talking about his campaign ties with the Russians - he pivots to making outrageous claims like Obama bugged Trump Tower during the elections.

Of course that's not a shred of evidence to prove his claim and yesterday the top Republican and Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee said that there is no evidence of any wiretap at Trump Tower in Manhattan during the presidential campaign or transition.

When everyone was talking about Trump's failure to get Republicans united enough to repeal Obamacare Chump knew he had to create another diversion.

He, or someone close to him, mailed the first two pages of his 2005 tax returns to David Cay Johnson, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who wrote a book about Trump.

Johnson was suspicious that there was just a two-page summary without the rest of the information - like who Thump does business with, and who he's indebted to.

Instead, all the summary told us was that he made $150 million and paid $38 million in taxes. That's about 25%. Nothing wrong there. As a matter of fact, it looks good.

Too good. So who would of sent it?

Stump kept the story alive in the public eye with the following tweet exchange yesterday morning:

Trump
Does anybody really believe that a reporter, who nobody ever heard of, "went to his mailbox" and found my tax returns? @NBCNews FAKE NEWS!

David Kay Johnson
Gee, Donald, your White House confirmed my story. POTUS fake Tweet. Sad! https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/841966077005463553 …

and

Trump fans call &; harass my wife &; 1 of my children after I break story White House confirmed. Sad! Let's have open debate, not threats.

Mission accomplished. The mainstream media and social media will toss that bright ball around for awhile.

So far Rump has managed to throw so many lies and conspiracy theories around it's been difficult pinning anything on him.

But...and this is the saving grace, Lump has too many bad things to hide forever. 

Once exposed, his business connections with the Russians and Chinese aren't going to go well with Congress (despite the fact both houses are controlled by Republicans).

In the upcoming public address on Dump's wire tapping claim
the House Intelligence Committee will hear FBI Director Comey's testimony. Comey is convinced there were no wire taps and has said so publicly.

And so on...
