'Tis The Season Where The GOP Loses All Morality

Good Day World!

Before this day is over, Republicans will lose a seat in the senate, or will bring a child-molester to Congress (which has threatened to have an ethics committee look into the allegations against him the moment he's seated).

Either way, Republicans are going to pay the piper.

The bad news for the GOP is it doesn't end there. 'Tis the season to go after men who've sexual assaulted women, and got away with it until now.

And we all know what that means! Time to trot out Donny Little Hands accusers who are still looking for justice. I watched three of his accusers tell their stories on the Today Show.

When these brave women went from the Today Show to the media demanding a Congressional ethics investigation, I was delighted to see the subject resurface.

That's because the American people didn't give Trump a pass (as the White House claims) on the sexual harassment charges.

Sarah Sanders Says 2016 Election Ended The Debate About Trump's Treatment of Women. Not exactly.

What happened was an acute case of tribalism where Republicans held their noses and voted for Chump...in spite of his history of disrespecting women.

Now it's time for Donny to pay the piper. These women aren't just going to sit back and continue to be humiliated by our Liar-In-Chief.

I'm waiting to see what if the Summer Dervos defamation lawsuit is going to go forward. When Chump called her (and the other women) a liar she pushed back, and is now waiting for her day in court.

May it come soon.

If the judge allows her case to go forward (possibly opening the way for others to get aboard) Chump's credibility will take another blow.

By backing a child molester, Lump has shown where his sympathies lie...and it's not with the victims. He sees a kindred spirit  in Moore the molester.

The bottom line is regardless of what happens in today's special election in Alabama, Republicans are in a no-win situation.

Misplaced Loyalty: GOP Party Taking The Low Road

Good Day World!

Tomorrows special election in Alabama is a crossroad for Republicans - either they cede all morality and justice for women being sexually harassed, or they vote for Roy Moore.

Despicable as it may seem, party over anything else, the GOP has chosen to walk in lock-step with Trump and forego any attempt at showing they have a conscience or sense of morality. 

Because Trump has been getting away with dismantling the government with the help of his appointed corrupt cabinet, the GOP sees him as they're only hope.

Trump demands, and gets loyalty from his minions. When someone resists kissing his ass, like ex-FBI Director, James Comey for instance, he gets rid of them.

The GOP state party in Alabama (perhaps encouraged by Trump) has "loyalty rules" that bars its members from publicly backing Moore's opponent. No matter how they feel.

If they do, they can be barred from ever running as a Republican again.

The whole problem here is misplaced loyalty.

It starts at the top when Congress allows itself to be bullied by Trump, in the vain hope some of their agendas might be passed.

When people voted for Trump, it was out of misplaced loyalty.

They didn't care if he sexually harassed women most of his life - and bragged about it. He was a Republican, and that's all that mattered.

Voting for Trump was a watershed moment that steered America away from the high road, and down into the abyss of racial conflict, corporate corruption, and the 1 percent of wealthy Americans ruling the country.

When Alabama holds its election tomorrow, we'll see how far gone the GOP party is.

Either they reject a molester of underage girls, or they send him to Congress.

21st Century Blues: It Isn't Such a Wonderful World After All

Good Day World!

When Jazz icon, Louis Armstrong, recorded the single hit, "What A Wonderful World" in 1967, there were millions of Americans who agreed with him.

But society goes in cycles, and now in the 21st Century most Americans don't think it's such a wonderful world after all.

A new report released by the American Psychological Association (APA) reveals that 57% of Americans say the current political climate is a “very” or “somewhat” significant source of their stress, and close to half of Americans say the outcome of last year's election causes them stress.

Here's APA’s annual Stress in America study. 


8 Reasons for Depression

1. Toxic food: Poisoning your brain so it cannot function properly

2. Heavy metal toxicity: The silent saboteur

3. Lack of nature: Avoiding what grounds your body

4. Psychological attachments: Unwittingly seeking old, familiar misery again and again

5. Consumerism: Desiring stuff that makes you feel empty

6. Lack of exercise: Willingness to feel lethargic

7. Ignorance about feelings: Trapping negative emotions in your body

8. It's a diagnosis: Promoting depression

To drill deeper on these categories go here.


Experts point out that the bottom line with depression may be how hard it is to shake off.

People can make lists of the things they know they can do to feel better, but seldom follow up on them.

Sometimes, people can be their own worst enemy.

'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.
