Trump Appointees and Nominees Smell Like Week-Old Dead Fish

Good Day World!

Frances Langum has Trump's modus operandi down when it came to how he picks government department heads;

"If you want to destroy a department, you head it up with someone who is stupid."

Making Rick Perry the Secretary of Energy, and Betsy (I don't know why everyone doesn't like me) DeVoss, Education Secretary are perfect examples.

They're both pathetically stupid, and under-qualified.

Perry didn't even know there was a Department of Energy when Trump appointed him to head it up.

And DeVoss, who is against public schools and thinks charter schools are the way to go, is getting zero respect from school administrators and teachers. No wonder. She has absolutely no experience in school administration or teaching.

You can see the trend.

Trump's nominee for the Agricultural post, Sam Clovis, had to withdraw recently, not because he had absolutely no credentials in science or agriculture, but because he got caught up in the Trump election campaign investigation.

Otherwise, for the first time, instead of a top scientist in the field for the job, we would have had another idiot embedded in our government.
None of Trump's appointees, or nominees, will ever pass the smell test, but that doesn't matter. They don't have to. 

As the backlog of nominees by Trump continues to grow, we can be sure his loyal minions are waiting for their big payoff. And, they all smell like week-old dead fish.

Do 'Minions' Know They're 'Minions?'

Good Day World!

As I watch our democracy being systematically dismantled by Trump's minions a pressing question comes to mind; do minions know they're minions?

Don't laugh. I'm serious. 

San Juan Mayor Carmen Yulin Cruz was supposed to testify Wednesday before the House Committee on Homeland Security, but the hearing was abruptly canceled.

Trump minions thought nothing about stopping someone critical of Trump from testifying to how bad things still were in Puerto Rico.

Cruz was right, when after she found out that her testimony had been abruptly cancelled she said, "Trump can't handle the truth" to reporters in the Capital hallway.

The minions know what's really happening however. It's their job to make Trump look good regardless of the dastardly things he does that affects millions of lives.

Have these minions sold their souls to follow Donny Little-Hands to hell?

What if they don't know their minions? Now there's a thought. They're blindly following a maniac just because they love him.

I think this conversation needs to go to another level.

Say Voodoo.

You've heard of zombies haven't you?

Fox News and Friends Are Trump's Main Advisors

Good Day World!

Fox News and our Liar-in-Chief are partners in crime.

They meet every morning.

Afterwards, Donny gets on his golden shitter and starts tweeting.

By the time his advisors show up with the official intelligence briefings they're too late to correct his errors and personal attacks.

The attack in Manhattan by a radicalized Muslim is just another example of the collusion between Fox and their Trump boy.

Instead of tweets of condolences to the eight murdered people's families, Donny turned it into a partisan attack against top Democrat Chuck Schumer for his part in passing immigration laws.

Unlike the shootings in Las Vegas where Trump declined to talk politics right after it, he immediately launched into a political rant after watching Fox and Friends.

When press secretary Sarah (I lie easily) Huckabee Sanders was confronted with what was different between the two shootings, she came up with a word salad that meant exactly nothing.

In summary, she deflected the question and said there was no difference.

It's disheartening to have a president who embraces lies and the vehicles that spawn them like Fox, or Brietbart. 

No doubt the producers of Fox and Friends are enjoying this opportunity to guide the president and influence laws. It's a once-in-a-lifetime gig.

New Board Game: Clue 2.0 - Trapping Trump and His Minions

Good Day World!

It's been like playing a real life game of Clue.

Since Trump came into office it's been one big who done it?

Did he collude with the Ruskies? Did his son? Did AG Sessions?

Who was in the room at Trump Tower?

Who said what in a cozy chat that started off as a way to shovel dirt on Hillary Clinton?

Who changed the Republican platform at the last minute to favor Russia? The Republican National Committee adopted language favoring Russia. Why?

Col. Mustard is a Russian no-good-nic ambassador named Sergey Ivanovich Kislyak.

Trump staffers have tried to deny talking with him, then lied about the content of the their conversations when they were caught.

Unlike the actual board game of Clue, it's not about trying to find out who murdered Mr. Boddy.

Instead, the object is to discover how many of Trump's staff and campaign team members worked with Russia to steal the election.

Win the game when Trump is impeached, and tried for obstruction of justice.

Trump in Fantasyland

Good Day World!

Since Trump slunk into office, the White House has taken on a new name; Fantasyland.

It's inhabitants use magical thinking when it comes to real world problems.

For example;

 When Trump directed his administration to declare America’s opioid overdose crisis a public health emergency, Republicans swiftly praised his “bold national leadership.”

But with no new funding, many public health experts and state officials said it was “magical thinking” to imagine that the declaration would stem the tide of opioid overdoses that has already killed 183,000.

Having perfected the art of the con, Trump has managed to infect the Republican party with puppets who believe he's a magician that will "Make America Great Again." 

It's almost entertaining watching Trump trod over every law that inhibits his billionaire friends. When he waves his wand of bullshit his supporters say it smells like flowers.

When Trump pulls a tweet out of his hat you can be sure it's a lie. If Trump gets caught lying he doesn't hesitate to double down on the lie by digging into his bag of magic tricks.

Now, you see it. Now, you don't. 

Washington DC has become Trump's playground and stage. He signs meaningless executive orders while grandstanding in the Rose Garden.

Trump has always lived in a world of money and privilege - his personal fantasyland. Unfortunately, the rest of the country is now caught up in his charade of life.

Sadly, Trump has always stayed one step ahead of the law. His bag of tricks have served him well thus far. In his world, he's popular and loved.

In reality, he still faces an investigation over collusion with the Russians, obstruction of justice, and the lowest favorability rating of any president in history.

He's going to have to dig deeper into his bag of tricks when the investigation is over and the truth comes out.

Let's hope the bag is finally empty when that happens.

Trumpies in Trouble: The Begininng of the End of the Trump Era

Good Day World!

I'm eagerly awaiting to see which Trumpie(s) is going to be indicted by the Robert S. Mueller III-led investigation into Russia’s meddling into the 2016 U.S. presidential election.

Monday, could be the day that one of the shoes - and possibly more - of the centipede, aka Trump campaign (per Sen. McCain) are going to drop. 

There’s a list of Trump's top 2016 campaign aides, current and former White House aides and longtime confidants who could be rounded up by Mueller’s team early next week.

A desperate Trump has been trying all last week to divert the investigation with recent demands to investigate Hillary Clinton's emails, and allegedly corrupt uranium sale to Russia. 

It might be Tuesday, or even later, before people start getting arrested. A report by Roll Call suggests it could be as early as Monday morning.

I'm just guessing here, but I think Paul Manafort and Michael Flynn will be wearing handcuffs next week.

It's entirely possible however, they could be joined by Carter Page, Jared Kushner, and Donald Trump Jr.

I'll take one more guess about the ramifications of these arrests; Trump is going to call them fake news.

White House Has Taken On A New Meaning

                                    Good Day World!

Guess what happens every time a person of color dares to speak up against Trump's tyranny?

First, the Liar-In-Chief doubles down on his lie, and then he has his minions repeat it, calling the truth "fake news." It's the formula for a dictatorship.

Rep. Frederica Wilson, an African-America, has had to stay home since a barrage of ongoing threats against her for daring to criticize Trump's handling of a conversation with the family of Sgt. La David Johnson, who was killed during an Oct. 4 ambush in Niger.

One racist threat against Wilson that surfaced on Facebook by a Chicago-area man is being investigated by police.

"Need ten good men to help carry out a lynching," the post read. "Must have own horse and saddle. Rope will be provided. This congresswomen (sic) is a disgusting pig. Someone should take their boot to her face."

This is the kind of reaction Trump followers have whenever anyone dares to question their supreme leader's judgement, or actions.

Meanwhile, the one supposed adult in the West Wing, chief of staff John Kelly, spent 20 minutes criticizing Wilson without using her name and incorrectly recounting a 2015 FBI dedication ceremony speech that Wilson gave in Miramar, Fla.

Despite being caught lying, his accusations were refuted by a video of the Congresswoman's speech, Kelly won't apologize - a trick he learned from Trump.

The title, White House, has taken on a whole new meaning under the Trump Administration.

Trump Waging War Against Middle Class Americans

Good Day World!

Just because Donny Little-Hands says his tax plan will be good for middle class Americans, don't believe it.

Just look at his record these last nine months.

He's lied about every aspect of the tax bill just like he did with Obamacare. He thinks his rhetoric is working.

This may come as a surprise to Stump, but the majority of Americans don't trust him. They know he lies. His track record reveals he's a racist (think Muslim ban and the Wall).

His so-called accomplishments have been nothing more than a steady vendetta against President Obama.

The most recent attack is a bill that keeps consumers from suing corporations with class-action suits.

The Republican-led Senate narrowly voted Tuesday to repeal a banking rule that would let consumers band together to sue their banks or credit card companies to resolve financial disputes.
Trump puppet, Mike Pence, cast the final vote to break a 50-50 tie. That's the second time he's been the tie-breaker for legislation that hurts middle class Americans.

Trump tweeted that there would be "NO change" to American’s 401 (k) benefits in tax reform, but a top House negotiator on taxes said Wednesday that tweaks to retirement savings may still be on the table.

Once again, a slap at middle class America.
After nine months in office, the middle class, and poor, have been attacked in every way possible. Rules and regulations that make our country safe are being jettisoned overboard.

From Health and Human Services, to the EPA, there has been a purge of Obama era directors. Their replacements are loyal Trump minions ready to please their master.

The majority of us be damned!

There's a reason why Wall Street is getting the softball treatment from the Trump Administration. We're facing a deadly triad of billionaires, bankers, and corporations.

When I hear people talk about how well the stock market is doing as proof of Chump's genius, I want to vomit. In the first place, more than half of Americans don't even have anything to do with Wall Street.

The market gains have meant nothing to middle class America. By now, anyone capable of independent thought, can see everything Trump's done so far has benefitted the wealthy.

I defy any Trump minions to show a piece of passed legislation where the majority of Americans actually benefit. Not going to happen.

That should be your first clue. What he's done, not what he tells people on twitter, clearly shows attacks against middle class America.

Is Trey Gowdy Going To Pursue The Deadly Niger Mission Like He Did With Benghazi?

Good Day World!

Got a question for Trump surrogate, Trey Gowdy;

"I know how much fun you had in pursuing the Benghazi attack for several years.

Are you going to be as committed in finding out why four servicemen were killed in a deadly ambush in Niger?" 

Now, a question for the reader:

"What do you think the odds are that the Trump Administration will tell the whole story?"

Here's what we know so far:

* On October 4th, there was a deadly ambush of a Special Force team in Africa.

* Four American's were killed.

* The Pentagon deployed elite commandos in response to the deadly ambush, fearing that one soldier who was missing at the time was alive and might fall into enemy hands.

* The remains of the missing soldier, Army Sgt. La David T. Johnson, were recovered two days after the ambush by local Nigeriens, who turned it over to Nigerien authorities working with U.S. troops.

* Myeshia Johnson, Sgt. La David T. Johnson's wife, tried to view the body before the burial, but the casualty officer advised against it.

It isn't much. 

* What really happened to Johnson?

* How did he get separated from his comrades?

* What kind of condition was his body in when it was recovered?

The Trump Administration is fumbling around with excuses for the mission, and why we're even there in the first place. 

Calling, Trey Gowdy!

Why Bother Having An Election That's Rigged?

                                  Good Day World!

Next year's House races are over before they even start.

Thanks to extreme redistricting by the GOP, the 2018 House elections are pre-determined.

Republicans will win via segregating voters by party, thanks to their illegal remapping of House districts in 2011.

Worse, many voters aren't voting because they know what the outcome will be in their district. Incumbents aren't held to any accountability, because they know their locked in with the system.

In essence, Republicans have found another way to subvert democracy.

There's 435 seats in the House of Representatives. It takes 218 seats to hold a majority. Even if every Democrat is re-elected, the party is still short 25 members to gain control.

A group called FairVote who have a 99.9 percent accuracy rating for correctly picking political races, doesn't give the Democrats a chance in hell.

When an election is deemed over, before it takes place, you know something is wrong. The anti-democratic nature of House elections is eroding people's confidence in the system.

Why vote when the outcome is pre-determined? Gerrymandering is the GOP's ace-in-the-hole.

The only thing that could possible upset this equation is that if Trump-haters turn out in record numbers for the elections.

I repeat, record numbers.

Right now, the GOP is confident that they have a stranglehold on the 2018 elections. And they probably do.
