'Trump Attendance At Museum Opening Is An Insult' - Rep. John Lewis


                                     Good Day World!

I think Rep. John Lewis, and Rep. Bennie Johnson, are absolutely right in not attending the opening of a civil rights museum in Jackson, Mississippi this weekend.

Their reason - that our Racist-In-Chief is attending - essentially making it a mockery.
---------------------
BREAKING NEWS:


Trump will participate in a separate private event at the new Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, Mississippi, on Saturday morning, rather than in the public ceremony. The decision came after the president’s plan to attend the opening erupted into controversy. 
The Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the White House agreed to have a separate event after a series of noteworthy civil rights leaders and speakers decided to boycott the event and local groups planned to protest. 
Trump will tour the museum and speak at a private program in the morning, and the public ceremony will begin afterward.
---------------------
 Lewis, a civil rights icon, was one of the organizers in the 1963 March on Washington. He's served 16 terms in the House of Representatives, and he knows a hypocrite when he sees one.

Donny and his minions in the White House said it was unfortunate that they're not going to attend the opening.


Responding to the White House, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-Louisiana, called the criticism "laughable."
It’s laughable that the White House is criticizing John Lewis and Bennie Thompson for not attending the opening of a civil rights museum that honors the sacrifice of ....wait..... John Lewis, Bennie Thompson, and many others.
This White House is not serious about civil rights," Richmond said in a statement. "From dismantling the civil rights division in DOJ to equating peaceful people who protested racism to Neo-nazi’s and White Supremacists, they just don’t get it.”
To prove Lewis's point we need look no further than Trump's support of a child molester and racist in the Alabama special election next Tuesday.
Roy Moore, when asked when was the last time America was great, said, "I think it was great at the time families were united, even though we had slavery, they cared for one another, our families were strong, our country had a direction."

Trump's response to Moore, "Go get 'em Roy!"Case closed.

The Great Race To The Bottom Of The Pile

Good Day World!

I'm not sure when the Race To The Bottom Olympics began.

Some lifestyle experts say it was when Trump was elected president.

All I know is that there are daily contestants from all walks of American life, beginning with our Liar-In-Chief.

Motto: How Low Can You Go? Make America Great Again

Let's get the ball rolling...

1. The current longest member of the House, John Conyers, retired yesterday under a cloud of sexual harassment claims stretching back for years. 

2. Trump and the spineless jellyfish in Congress are endorsing a child molester for a senate seat in Alabama.

3. A judge is looking at charges against Trump by former Apprentice contestant, Zervo Summers. If he allows the case to proceed things will get hotter for Donny the Groper than they already are.

4. Senior Trump transition team member, K. T. McFarland  is accused of being deceptive over the summer about her knowledge of discussions between Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser, and a former Russian ambassador.

5. Danny Masterson from Netflix's The Ranch, was fired for sexual harassment. 

6. Dustin Hoffman issues statement that he "...felt terrible for anything he might have done to make women uncomfortable," in reference to sexual harassment charges brought by John Oliver.

7. Democratic Senator Al Franken  resigned under a cloud of sexual harassment yesterday. 

8. Singer, Melanie Martinez, has been accused of sexually assaulting a former friend who says she repeatedly turned down her advances.

8. Republican Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona is resigning next month after revealing that he discussed surrogacy with two female staffers.

That's all for today folks. I don't want to burn you out. The Race to the Bottom Olympics is going to be going on for a long time.

America's Fire-Starter-In-Chief On A Hot Streak



Good Day World!

America's Fire-Starter-In-Chief has a hot streak going right now.

He threw a lit match into the tinder box - aka the entire Middle East - yesterday.
Now the pasty-faced pyromaniac can sit back and enjoy the blaze he created.

There wasn't one good reason to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel at this moment in time.

Donald Trump’s Jerusalem statement yesterday is an act of diplomatic arson.

There is a reason why no US administration, no matter how pro-Israel, has changed its policy toward the city in the nearly 70 years since Israel’s founding.

Both Israelis and Palestinians insist that Jerusalem must be the capital of their states, present and future, and that that status is non-negotiable.

Then comes Trump, oblivious to precedent and history. Even in a place where history is a matter of life and death.

Every Arab government – including those loyal to Washington – is now issuing sharp warnings on the perils of this move, almost all of them using the same word.

Dear Chump: 'Please Keep Tweeting, We need More Evidence' - Mueller Team

Good Day World!

That's right...keep on tweeting Donny. 

I really enjoyed the one where you stepped on your own tiny dick by claiming you fired Flynn "...because he lied to the vice-president and the FBI" about his discussions with Russia's ambassador last year.

This would mean that you knew Flynn had committed a serious crime when, according to the former FBI director James Comey, you asked him the next day to halt an FBI investigation into Flynn.

Your pathetic attempt to contain the fallout from the Saturday tweet by throwing one of your own lawyers under the bus is vile.

John Dowd, one of your many lawyers, fell on the grenade for you claiming he had composed that tweet and that it was “sloppy.”

The very idea that he wrote one of your official tweets, and broadcast it without you knowing, has jaws dropping in amazement among legal scholars and Democrats.

Multiple legal analysts have said your remark was the clearest indication so far that you tried to obstruct the various inquiries into possible collusion between Moscow and your corrupt campaign. 

Other tweets (and comments) you've made could also put you in jeopardy of obstruction charges.

Several Republican senators have said you asked them to stop congressional inquiries into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election. Now, why would they say that?

Talk about desperation Donny boy; Dowd's sick defense was laughable,The president cannot obstruct justice because he is the chief law enforcement officer under (the constitution’s Article II) and has every right to express his view of any case,” he told the Axios website.

Will someone please ring the Gong and tell Dowd to go back to lawyering school?

Laurence Tribe, a Harvard law professor, wrote: “Anyone who buys Trump’s lawyer’s alibi for his corruptly treacherous client is a complete fool.”

Richard Painter, who was chief ethics lawyer in the White House of George W Bush, said: “A lawyer who writes a tweet like that incriminating a client should be disbarred. He can tell Mueller he wrote it.”

Dowd’s denial that the president can obstruct justice carried echoes of Richard Nixon’s assertion, to David Frost in an interview in 1977, that “when the president does it, that means it is not illegal.”

Others experts pointed out that the articles of impeachment against Nixon opened with the charge that he “obstructed, and impeded the administration of justice.”

So, you go right on tweeting Donny. I can't wait to see how you're going to further incriminate yourself.

Panic In The Swamp: Russian Probe Netting Trump Surrogates, Donny's Next


                                      Good Day World!

The murky waters in the West Wing have been disturbed with waves of evidence that Trump and transition team were colluding with Russia during last year's campaign.

It's been a bad week for Donny.

When Michael Flynn, Trump's former security advisor, testified that a senior Trump official (turns out to be Jared Kushner) told him to make contact with the Russians and arrange a meeting a general panic ensued among Trump's minions and Donny himself.

His frantic rabid tweets throughout the week testified to his state of mind. 

Worse yet is, according to a report from ABC News, that Flynn is prepared to testify that Trump asked him to speak with representatives of the Russian government during the campaign.

Facts are shattering Trump's lies and his continued ranting is only making things harder for him. 

On Saturday when Trump made his first public comments about  Flynn after Flynn pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about speaking with Russian officials, it suggested that for the first time Trump knew Flynn had lied to the bureau at the time Flynn was fired.

It looks like Mueller is making progress in cleaning out the swamp in the West Wing, but the chore is from over. It's only going to get harder as more evidence is presented.

#TaxScamBill: Americans Get Screwed While They're Sleeping

Good Day World!

While the American public slept, the douches in the senate passed a tax reform bill in the dark of night that promises to screw the middle class for years to come.

The bill was pushed through so fast that hand-written amendments were made on the margins right to the final vote at 2 am.

It was a stunning display of sneaky deals on a bill that was nothing more than a shell. Most of the spineless bastards didn't even know what was going to be in the bill.

Why the rush you ask? 

It's really quit simple; the Koch brothers and other major Repug donors told the GOP they would quit funding them if it wasn't passed!

As you can imagine, that set off a panic. It wasn't about giving the middle class a break, it was about satisfying their major donors.

There wasn't even an attempt to modify how badly Americans were going to get screwed, Instead, backdoor deals were made with possible holdouts - deals the devil would be proud of.

#TaxScamBill has gone viral on the web. No surprise. Americans woke up to a scam that was going to hurt them for years.

The bill still has to be reconciled between the Senate and the House.

But that's just a formality. There could be death panels in it, and the Repugs wouldn't care...they're determined to get a legislative victory at the expense of the middle class.

And worst of all, Chump will crow like a rooster for the rest of his time as president. His claim that it's the biggest tax bill in history, is a blatant lie.

It would be only the 8th largest tax reform bill ever passed. A fact that that doesn't deter our Liar-In-Chief though.

This bill will go down as an historic tax heist thanks to Republican donors picking your children's pockets. Future generations are going to bear the cost of this terrible bill if it goes to Trump's desk. 
Note to GOP: payback is a bitch. See you in next years elections!

Conspiracy Theorists Thriving Under Trump Administration


                                     Good Day World!

The space between conspiracy theorists and lunatics is a thin one.

In the Trumpian age of fake news and absolute lies, the conspiracy theorists are thriving like never before.

For example:

Mike Cronk, a survivor of the Las Vegas massacre, has been harassed relentlessly by conspiracy theorists who claim he was an actor hired to play the part of a victim.

The bottom line is hateful trolls don't believe the mass shooting even took place.

Conspiracy theorists harassed him on Facebook, sending messages like “How much did they pay you?” and “How does it feel to be part of a hoax?”

The claims multiplied and soon YouTube’s algorithm began actively promoting the conspiracy theory.

Cronk has taken his Facebook account down and is hoping the trolls will go away. Unfortunately, his reputation has been trashed and is still being trashed on the Internet.

The cycles of hoaxer/conspirators harassment is now as predictable as the mass shootings that they try to debunk.

Bullying from the ugliest corners of the Internet overwhelms the grief-stricken as they struggle to cope with the greatest horror they’ve ever experienced.

One explanation for why we have these online lunatics:

Colleen Seifert, a University of Michigan psychology professor, said people were inclined to trust content they viewed on YouTube and might be drawn to mass shooting conspiracy theories simply because the tragedies were so implausible and frightening to them.

I'm sure that's one possibility, but I doubt that accounts for all the raw hatred expressed to innocent victims of tragedy. I think it's more like there's assholes anywhere you go, on, or off the web.

Jan-Willem van Prooijen, a psychologist at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam commented about these trolls in a recent interview,
“It was always assumed that this is just a small group of lunatics. We now know, because of representative samples in various countries, that this is really very widespread.”

Some grieving parents of the Sandy Hook massacre have turned the grim task of tracking down hoax theory videos into a daily job.

In 2014, Lenny Pozner, whose child was killed in the Sandy Hook massacre, founded the Honr Network, an organization dedicated to holding conspiracy theorists accountable.

Hundreds of volunteers now help monitor the offensive content online.

I might add that you can help fight these assholes by reporting questionable material to YouTube authorities. Or, you can join the Honr Network to be part of a bigger resistance movement.

White House Purge: When Puppets Don't Perform

Good Day World!

It's no secret that our Liar-In-Chief demands abject loyalty from his puppets.

Since he snuck in through the back door, the White House has been in chaos.

Most of Trump's original staff have been run off, or are in trouble due to the Russian investigation. Think Flynn for starters.

Like any other dictator, Donny wants "yes men" (I did say men; women aren't a factor in Trump's orbit (other than to grope).

Despite denials yesterday from Trump puppet Sarah Huckabee Sanders that Tillerson was on the way out, the White House - according to staffers - is preparing for the next upheaval in Trump's administration.  

On deck for the next dumping is Secretary of State Rex W. Tillerson. No one will be surprised however. Tillerson himself has been saying he just wanted to get a year in before resigning.

But every since he called Trump a moron the rift between the two men has widened. 

Mike Pompeo, the C.I.A. director, and one of Trump's favorite kiss-ass devotees, is slated to take Tillerson's place. It's not 100% locked in because the best choice would be Nikki R. Haley, the ambassador to the United Nations.

The only problem is she's not a pure puppet of the Donald. She actually has morals and a conscience which I suspect will disqualify her in the end.

Trump has surrounded himself with puppets his entire life. He's finding it to be more difficult as president because others are involved in some of the selection processes.

But the puppet master has not been deterred. He's already caused an historic turnover in the West Wing during his first year in office.

Tillerson's exit would make his time in office the shortest of any secretary of state whose tenure was not ended by a change in presidents in nearly 120 years.

The remaining puppets are like dogs eagerly waiting for their master to feed them.

For example, Sen.Tom Cotton who may be promoted to Pompeo's position in the shuffle, has been a dedicated puppet eagerly eating Trump's shit sandwiches since Day One.

Trump's motto Make America Great Again should be changed to, Puppets First in Trumpland.

Why Is Trump Getting A Pass on Sexual Harrassment During The Season of the Purge?

Good Day World!

Sipping some good coffee this morning and wondering what Hollywood celebrity or politician will be called out as a sexual harasser today?

In the last two months hardly a day hasn't gone by without new accusations of men sexually harassing women in every workplace.

A seismic cultural tremor from Hollywood to Washington D.C., has shocked and disgusted many Americans.

Why now? Why not when Trump was accused by 14 women last year? In the current atmosphere of accusations how is it that Trump is getting a pass?

Every time the subject comes up Trump quickly deflects the conversation and says his accusers were lying.

Thus far, every case of sexual harassment filed this year has been aired out and repercussions have come from them. People are believing the victims now, a seismic change in itself, instead of the perpetrators. 

Yesterday, the latest example was Matt Lauer who was accused of inappropriate sexual behavior, and fired on the spot. His co-hosts were shocked when the had to announce the news to viewers.

Also...Minnesota Public Radio confirmed Garrison Keillor had been fired, saying it received a single allegation of "inappropriate behavior" and doesn't know of any other similar allegations.

These two won't be the last famous, or wealthy men, to be accused. Bet on it. In the Season of the Purge, more men are going to lose their jobs, and people's respect.

How long this backlash, and purge, will go on is anyone's guess. Women are standing up for their rights and are fighting back against blatant sexism in the workplace, and everywhere else.

I read that since the Women's March on Washington the day after Trump was inaugurated, more women are seeking political positions in our government than ever before.

Women have the right idea.

You have to get in the system to change it. I hope this purge continues and grows so that someday Trump will pay for his sexual transgressions.

Busted: Trump Donor Recepient, Project Veritas, Caught Trying To Plant Fake News

Good Day World!

Caught red-handed.

Right-winger smear organization, Project Veritas, tried to plant fake news in the Washington Post, but failed.

Project Veritas founder James O'Keefe hoped to pull off a sting story to help out pervert Roy Jones by discrediting the Post's reporting by trying to plant a fake story.

A woman, Allison Maass, met with Post reporters over the course of one week, spinning lies she hoped they'd publish.

It didn't work this time. But O'Keefe will continue trying to trick people into saying something that would help out right-wingers wherever they may be.

You could call Project Veritas a purveyor of fake news and you'd be 100% right. Maybe that's why Trump donated to the project one month before announcing his presidency.

Oh yeah...did you know about that? 

If James O’Keefe respected the right-wing populists who make up the audience of Project Veritas, a nonprofit he founded to produce undercover videos skewering the left, he would tell them the truth about all of the organizations that he targets.

Instead, Project Veritas operates in bad faith, an attribute it demonstrated again this week in the aftermath of its bungled attempt to trick The Washington Post.

The premise that the newspaper spreads “fake news” is widely held on the populist right.

But the premise proved incorrect. Washington Post reporters did not reflexively or opportunistically believe a woman falsely accusing a prominent Republican.

If Project Veritas was operating in good faith—if it was really trying “to achieve a more moral and ethical society,” as it claims on its website—it would have acknowledged that its initial beliefs about The Washington Post were incorrect, and that the newspaper diligently pursued the truth when put to an undercover test.

But that will never happen. Instead O'Keefe is fundraising over his botched attempt to plant fake news. The sad part is people will send him money.
