MICHAEL COHEN, THE GIFT THAT KEEPS ON GIVING

So Hannity how can you possibly be impartial, and shouldn’t you have disclosed that to your audience or at least your bosses as you attacked the good guys while protecting yourself 

WHOMEVER IS WRITING THIS SCRIPT, is one kooky screenwriter. Hannity's comment immediately after it was revealed that, oops, he also might be in this way over his head was “he thinks its funny,” that he’s now a headline in the news. So laugh out loud humorous, then why are we seeing your sweat pouring out of you so much these days? Why does it look like you are sick to your stomach, all the time? I guess just like Junior’s “nothing burger” excuse for his amnesia after the revelation that Russians met with him & Trump’s henchmen in Trump tower, to discuss terrible Intel on Hillary. Well just like that nothing burger turned out to be a huge something, this “funny” news story, could force Fox faux news to fire or at least put a leash on Trumps favorite voice box. Well all I can say is thank God Trump likes porn stars, Playboy models, and paying off his sleeping partners, because other wise we might be stuck with him forever. How ironic, his possible crimes with Vladimir might not bring him down, but his dealings with ladies on the side could end it. Seems, his attorney, Michael Cohen, apparently doesn’t really practice law these days, he fixes problems that his clients have with their lady friends. 

Which makes me have to bring up the Mrs., just wondering how much longer will Melania stick by him? Sorry shouldn’t even be getting her involved with his crimes. Of course, she did pitch his birther nonsense, so maybe we shouldn’t give her a total pass, but at least today I will. That said, the way this current episode in Democracy is going, wouldn’t the wife of the President leaving him, with son in tow, be the icing on the cake with what we’ve seen so far. I figure that won't happen till either the pee tape appears or if the ladies who are now coming out are finally seen and believed. But again, lets get back to the business at hand. 

Maybe this time Donald’s penchant for hiring, what else can I call them but schmucks, could actually be his undoing? Of course most of what I know of Trump’s legal right hand man, is what the talking heads on television tell us. Their descriptions of him, his interactions with them and others. So I am I guess tainted in my opinions of him. But I have watched a bunch of interviews and I pretty much think of him as a slimy character right out of a bad B budget 1950’s black and white drama. You know the ones, badly acted, with a plot twists that could cause you whiplash.

As with most of the people he surrounds himself with Michael Cohen is perfectly and unbelievably exactly what one might imagine a Donald J. Trump minion would be. So having him be the one who fixes all of his peccadillo's might in the end finally be the thing that takes Donald down. Or as with everything else, Trump will fire people, lose it on Twitter and get away with another day still King of the World, at least in his own mind. That said, it now seems to be Michael’s turn to be in the cross hairs. It is funny listening to the talk now on air about him from the Trumpeters, who are beginning their usual drumbeat in ripping him apart that occurs with all followers who have turned on Donald, or who could hurt in in some way.

Stephanie Clifford, alias Stormy Daniels will never be considered a dumb blond, at least by me. She certainly seems to know how to pick smart attorneys. Michael Avenatti who has been popping up all over the various news channels, more so to throw shade at Trump’s dimwitted fixer-upper, Michael Cohen. But I’m beginning to believe when this is all over, expect the man to be spending his life on air with his own show or a nice steady gig as this years’s latest legal expert. Now I’m no lawyer, but listening to Michael Avenatti rip apart Cohen’s legal decisions has truly showcased what a chomp Cohen is. Every move Cohen makes, every leak he spews, bites him and Donald Trump in the ass. Each chess move actually helping make her story sound more and more true and his choices sinking Donald more and more into a hole he might not ever be able to crawl out of. Who knows, in the end the only person who might remain standing in this is Trump himself. While everyone of his minions from his inner circle to his assorted talking heads might all wind up in a prison of their own making. Including a certain top rated Fox talking head known as Sean Hannity. 

How about this week’s humongous brain-cloud legal motion, actually helping more then most to nail the coffin shut in Trump’s eventual removal from office. When I first heard the news as with every other unbelievable revelation over the last six months or so, I simply couldn’t stop smiling. But this one made me actually spit out my morning tea. Talk about the gang who couldn’t shoot straight. By wanting the judge to throw out the treasure trove of confiscated material, he needed to prove he was an actual lawyer, with actual clients besides Donald. I mean Cohen’s clients needed their rights protected, his attorney’s protested. So the judge demanded that they give up the names or Cohen can weep all the way to Sing Sing till he sings. Go on big shot, prove he isn’t just Donald’s fixer, who pays off women to cover up Trumps misbehavior, prove that he actually practises law. 

Ironically, Cohen pleading that the release of the names would be "embarrassing" to one of his clients, proved the most truthful thing he might have ever said. According to reports he supposedly has had only 3 clients the last few years. Just wondering how he could afford to pay off Stormy the $130,000 out of pocket, since he claims he paid her and not Donald? Can’t wait to see when his tax returns are revealed. As for his 3 clients, of course we all know about Donald, which is why Michael is so famous these days. The second of the 3, amazingly turned out to be Elliot Broidy, who used to be a deputy finance chairman of the Republican National Committees, that is before he resigned. Well it turns out, Michael Cohen paid a Playboy Model $1.6 Million, who became pregnant during an affair. Another hypocrite, being uncovered for paying off yet another woman in Trump’s inner circle who fears their pristine facades would be ruined, has been taken down. Guess its times to find employment on Fox News or better yet, Sinclair.

But the revelation that the third client just happened to be Sean Hannity of Fox News fame or is that infamy is mind blowing. Listening to Rachel Maddow describe the court room as the Judge decided our nation’s possible fate, okay at least Michael Cohen’s, as she said these words “I’m directing you to disclose the name now,” was  amazing. I hope they have the real court sequence on video, but even if they don’t, Rachel showcased a lesson on how to thrill an audience with just words. The ironic thing in all this of course is that their shows are pretty much the opposite of each other. Her’s is facts, news, investigation and reporting, you know real reporting. His are conspiracy, opinionated nonsense, which are now being revealed to be coordinated messages between the President, his personal attorney and a propaganda voice box who has been brainwashing millions to believe the ‘real’ fake news. Which is every word that Donald J. Trump utters, every lie he says.  

Hysterically, all day long after the shocking development was announced one had to wonder how Sean would discuss it on his show, or in fact if his show would even air at its usual time. Or would Fox force him into a surprise mini vacation which is their initial way of quieting down all scandals with their talking heads, before they announce the parting of the ways. Of course as of now a few days later, he’s still on air. Fox came out with a statement, that pretty much ignores the legal implications of what he might have been pulling by being the voice of Trump. Of pretty much turning Fox into state run television right out of the Cold War days of the old Soviet Empire. I honestly haven’t turned Sean Hannity back on since the news exploded, even just to see how he would try to lie away his big oops. But as its been reported by others, what he said on air probably made his situation worse or at least should have. One of his first guests on air, I’m told near the end of his first hour back on air after the explosion erupted was Alan Dershowitz. Alan who has seemingly lost his mind recently over Mueller’s witch hunt against Donald, responded to Sean’s excuses by sounding almost coherent and saying. “I really think that you should have discussed your relationship with Cohen when you talked about him on this show,” Something that has been reported that he has done with the other attorney’s that they both share, that he had mentioned when they’ve appeared on his show. But why would he even think about mentioning this relationship on his show with him, it would of course screw up his talking points that he received from Donald on their last phone conversation or dinner date.

Hannity’s defense was, “I have a right to privacy.” Drop dead Hannity. But what got me the most was when I heard Sean’s other comment “It was such a minor relationship and it had to do with real estate and nothing political.” Hence his forgetting to mention it ever on air or in print. So lets get this straight, if we are to believe Hannity, his dealings with Cohen had only to do with real estate and nothing to do with politics? Is that what he expects anyone to believe except the deaf, dumb and blind members of Fox’s audience? Perhaps Hannity has a few ladies on the side that none of know about yet, which has been gossiped, and he needed to discuss with the President’s fixer like Donald had done on who knows how many occasions besides Stormy’s? So lets get this straight, the President’s fixer is into real estate? Who knew? Donald is also into real estate, so sure, I guess its in the scope of possibilities, I mean Sean never lies about anything, except everything he says on air, so lets believe him on this.

I can only imagine what Donald was thinking when he watched Hannity’s show, because you know he was sitting watching his favorite lap dog make him sound like a genius. At first I was thinking he must have choked on his Whopper or spit out his thick shake. But thinking on it, I fully believe it was Donald’s idea about the real estate excuse, and not Sean’s. Much like he rewrote Don Junior’s explanation on Air force One, about the meeting in Trump tower. I mean who else would come up with such a lame excuse? Well maybe Hannity, cause he ain’t no rocket scientist either. The way I see this, we could go a few ways. Either as Sean claims that Cohen just answered a couple questions for him, and it had nothing to do with a third party. Or perhaps Michael Cohen’s attorney David Schwartz was trying to prove Cohen actually had more clients then just Trump and it backfired. By throwing Hannity’s name into the mix, he ensnared Sean into the whole mess that is the Mueller investigation. Turning him into collateral damage. And most likely, yet another name which can be added to those who seriously sold their souls to have a seat at the feet of the Mad King and have begun to pay the price. So now we discover that Sean Hannity, whose arrogance knows no limits, has now been outed as possibly in on the whole con game that is the Trump brand. First helping to elect Donald Trump into office and now trying his damnedest to stop any investigation into what occurred last election day and since. Night after night, he louder than anyone else has attacked the Mueller investigation from day one, and has sided with Donald and Michael Cohen on everything. Its like watching the reverse of any possible crime by Hillary Clinton. She breathes and he’s calling for an investigation of her intake of oxygen, with Donald, crickets.

I also must mention The Daily Show this past week, Trevor Noah had an amazing piece on where he showcased Hannity’s reaction in video clips from Sean’s own show on the raid of Michael Cohen’s home and offices. When you watch the clips in retrospect of Sean’s so-called reporting on the shocking turn of events its pretty amazing. Watching the progression of reports, as Sean gets more and more upset as the private attorney of the President of The United States gets raided by the Mueller investigators, is eye-opening. It almost looks like he’s taking it personal, and it feels like its happening in real time as he reacts to the fact that his possible crimes to the nation has been revealed. His then unknown secret connection to the White House now outed to everyone whose still paying attention. Its not as if it wasn’t obvious what Sean has been preaching, but taken into context with this next information, seriously wow. There is no way we can look at what Hannity has been spewing and what Trump is pitching as anything but connected. The only question is whose the voice box? Is Hannity running the show, backed by Fox and Friends in the corporate offices or is it Donald in the Oval office being fed things to say by Vladimir. 

As Cohen’s attorneys had argued, the unknown client would be “embarrassed” if his identity was known. Watching Hannity’s reaction in the clip parade showcased by Noah, its seems to reveal why he was so upset and so angry at it. And boy is he “embarrassed”.  Embarrassed right out of his high paying gig I hope. If he in fact is proven to be in cahoots with Trump and Cohen and Mitch and Jared and on and on, it seems Sean needs to be dragged into the Halls of Congress, and sworn in. Lets see what truths we can discover about him and how many times he has lied in the past about really important things. Now lets see what the Fox bosses do. Does Sean now get canned for omitting this small detail. Does his sponsors now flee him from the legal stink he has to be awash in? So far it appears Sean is weathering the storm, since its been a few days and he still is on the air. I guess if a real crime is revealed when the Michael Cohen tapes get reviewed, whenever they do it, not only will he get kicked off air, but he’ll probably spend a good chunk of time behind federal prison. So Hannity, how does it feel to be in the story as opposed to spouting off your opinion on them? Lock her up? Really? Benghazi? The Rule of law? Crimes against the state? Boy I can not wait to see how this storyline ends, or where it leads too. Just wondering if in the end, if this revelation matters or will it open matter in the history books. Will Trump still survive at least his first term, or will the crap covering the fan already, finally be too much that Donald has to walk? Just one last thing, been wondering when Donald does makes the announcement he’s getting out, will it be in the White House or in Mar-a-Lago?

HAS AMERICA’S BRAINWASHING BY FOX, FACEBOOK VIA CAMBRIDGE ANALYTICA, AND OTHERS RUINED DEMOCRACY FOREVER?

With everything that’s going on these days, as the end maybe near for either our nation, Facebook or Donald J. Trump, I had an epiphany about why it may be too late to save the people who believe the lies and refuse to see the truth

SO THE OTHER DAY I WAS HAVING A CONVERSATION with a lovely lady I spent the day with on one of my many day jobs I do to help pay my rent. On a few occasions what my fellow workmate was telling me, turned shall we say to the darker side of our current political reality. These spitballs, she was throwing, had me scouring Google afterwards for the answers to the multitude of questions now circling my brain. Which then had me tweeting a few S O S’s asking if what I had discovered were conspiracies, realities, or simply a matter of a brainwashed individual spreading conspiracies she believed as the truth? The more I think about it, the more I can’t believe I actually spent as much time as I did, in search of answers that I should’ve saw coming a mile away. But in finding the truth in my search, the answers turned out to make me question everything else about our last Presidential election and the nightmare that most of us realize that we’re currently living in.

So here’s the run down, I was working the Vision Expo convention, in New York’s famous or perhaps infamous Jacob Javits Center. I should say, before hand that it was a really fun gig, the people I worked with were all cool and the convention attendees themselves could not have been nicer and more charming. My job this time, was scanning attendee’s badges into and out of seminars. I was assigned with another person, a lovely elderly white Christian woman. I only mention this because one of the reasons Donald J. Trump became President was his winning the votes on this segment of the population. So hearing what turns out be to be conspiracies concocted by the publicity wing of the Republican party, orchestrated by Cambridge Analytica, and spread across Mark Zuckerberg’s baby, Facebook as facts, from someone who at first would seem to be living in reality was way off putting. Hence my latest Neilizms and hopefully an answer or at least an explanation of why some still believe the lies about Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama and how Donald J. Trump won the hearts, minds, and votes of millions of American citizens.

So this lovely lady and myself were assigned together to scan in and scan out people who were taking credited courses in the vision field. For the most part everything was groovy. Through out the day between helping the attendees, we also had a day long conversation about many things. Mostly about the job, the attendees we were dealing with, the other people we were working with, life, our families and our respective histories. All was very enjoyable, and all seemed normal. That was until politics came into that portion of the program. Something I am learning way too slowly, that one shouldn’t decide to ever do. You’ve got a fifty percent chance to discover the person sitting beside you might not be someone that subject is something you ever want to discuss with them. But it may also put in perspective every other thing that they have said and have you come out of it thinking about them and about everything else a little bit differently. It sure did it for me in this instance, and has done it on sadly too many occasions in the recent past. About twenty feet away or so from us, there was a huge monitor hanging showcasing one of the news channels, I think CNBC. Because of the monitor we discussed what news channels we watched. She claimed she watched them all, didn’t believe everything she saw, and researched the things she questions or heard. All of which sounded reasonable to me. 

At one point while awaiting for the current seminar to end, to begin the scanning out process, the two of us were sitting talking once more, I received a news bump up, or whatever they are called, on my iPhone’s screen about something that one of Trump’s minion’s had pulled, and at the same time on the huge hanging monitor across the way there was also a news flash about the same event. The news flash, reminded me about something about Trump and the conversation altered into a reality I wasn’t expecting or ever wanted to be a part of. 

It really started going south when I mentioned Rachel Maddow and her take on events and why she is my favorite news person on air. Sadly my co-worker didn’t agree with me, usually a big red flag in my book with anyone. I explained that I only turn on Fox News, or as I call them Fox Faux News, just to see what they were currently making stuff up on, or what they weren’t reporting as they instead discussed issues with either the Obama Presidency or Hillary’s many illegal activities.

I must mention, that earlier she had told me that she worked at the polls during Election Days, and it was actually very interesting. She explained about paper ballots and computers ones. How they work and how they get recounted. We had discussed the possibility that the voting machines were hacked and perhaps the election had been effected by it. So her explanation on why that wasn’t possible seemed plausible, and while not making me feel any better it did give me more information for future thoughts. Or more appropriately, here’s when the train went off the rails.

Somewhere along the way I mentioned to her, that maybe Hillary Clinton would run again. Why not? Let see if we have a Rocky 2 scenario and this time like in the hit movie in the end the original loser gets declared champ. I mean why shouldn’t Hillary want to run again, why not, if after all that has come out, perhaps a new run would either turn out the same, worse for her or actually this time, she would win. Even if just they only alowed same people to vote, since they were the only ones who voted in the first place. How different the totals could now be with the ongoing Mueller investigation and all the leaks which have now shall we say fleshed out the story? Of course that scenario would never be allowed to happen in the real world. What could happen however is the next Presidential campaign, we have a re-do in the campaign. I mean we could have another primary campaign and Hillary and Donald again could win. And yes, even with everyone still trying to tell us what an unlikable person Hillary is, and what a bad campaign she ran, somehow the fact that she got almost 66 million votes never comes into the conversation. Somehow all of those votes never happened, and all the hanky panky that did occur that possibly made her numbers much lower than they would have been are never discussed. That is if Donald, is still running for re-election, and not awaiting his long walk on the long Green Mile, as Stephen King, called it. Depending on what the final outcome is, if its just bank fraud, obstruction of justice or if Trump actually sold our nation out  to Vladimir and rightfully deserves that long walk to visit Old Sparky.

Well according to my new friend, Hillary running for President would never happen, because she wasn’t healthy enough to run again. I went huh? When? What happened? Well, seemingly the should be President, whose rightful position might possibly have been stolen by Cambridge Analytica misuse of Facebook’s data, according to her, had recently had a head injury. She had fallen again. You know, as if it was an every day event and the woman has no blance to save her life. She mentioned that this health scare had happened in India. I went really, that’s news to me, I hope you’re wrong, but we’ll see. One would think if Hillary Clinton the almost President of the United States health had suddenly taken a nose dive, that this bit of news would be every where. Like on the screen hanging 20 or so feet away.

Well I Google searched her current ailments and discovered a treasure trove of right-wing conspiracies on Hillary Clinton’s health. None of which appear to come from places like the New York Times, CNN, or any so-called left leaning news organizations, you know the ones who report the truth and facts. But in fact nothing, except lots of FOX and their ilk thowring out what sounded like made up gibberish. As for the head trauma or whatever, all I found was video of her slipping on what looked like wet stone steps in India. Sadly, these false reports of course caused the return of the infamous videos of her fainting during the campaign which had the world discussing how long the former Secretary of State had to live, and if she somehow survives, what if any her mental capabilities would be. 

The second Uh-oh moment came when I brought up President Barack Obama and the First lady of the United States, Michele Obama, by using them as examples in comparison to whats currently in the White House. Warning, warning, its turned out she wasn’t a fan of either of them too. Out of left field she told be something I couldn’t recall ever hearing before which made me almost scream out loud with both laughter and venom. Both of which, as controlled as possible, I kept to myself. I asked her how could she be okay with Trump after he spent 7 years attacking our President’s very citizenship? Even if you didn’t agree with President Barack Obama’s politics, for me that should have been an end to any fan ship of the orange dyed current President. Well what I heard from her made me have to sit up and go wait a minute. It also possibly explained to me why the person many think of as this nations last real President, many now currently believe should never have been Commander in Chief in the first place. It also might explain why so many believe the non-stop lies by the man in orange about everything and disbelieve whatever truth is thrown at them against him to buck his self professed greatness.

It seems according to my lovely co-worker, on President Barack Obama birth certificate that was finally released, all thanks to Donald J. Trump, Barack Hussein Obama was born an African-American. As she was telling me this I went, hm, that’s news to me. I think I would have heard about this somewhere. I mean every where, if she was telling me the truth. According to her, at the time that former President Barack Obama was born, they didn’t use that term. In other words the birth certificate was fake. That’s all she needed to believe Trump and the rest of the birthers. Hence, Barack was an illegal, not Hawaiian born, but from Kenya. Not American, but an other. So what she was telling me was that Donald was right all these years. He was the truther and saw the promised land, not the rest of the left-wing media, and Hillary the monster, was in bed with all of them. What a sell out she is, what a hateful person. Yup, she told me that too. That was her defense in believing Donald J. Trump was the fact that Obama’s birth certificate had been proven a phony. 

This hit home, because recently I had acted in a play performing the role of Willie Lynch, a fictional character that lived in the 1700’s that some people think was real. Willie Lynch is believed by some to be the reason the hangings of black slaves are called lynchings. The character is most famous for his supposed letter of instructions on how to train slaves. As I researched him, trying to create a back story, I discovered several of the expressions used in the list, for example, the word refueling, didn’t exist at the time. Which made the experts decide that he was created and not a real person. Regardless if its a true or made-up story, discovering the tale made hearing this new accusation about President Barack Obama’s birth certificate eye-opening. 

One would think, as with Hillary on her last leg scenario, this whopper of information, about Barack’s birth certificate, would have been front page news and not just showcased on conspiracy websites or shared by Russian Bots all over the social networks. Well luckily for me on Google I discovered amongst the clutter, Snopes.com’s take down on this conspiracy talking point. Thanks to them I now have the perfect response the next time someone decides to use this false narrative on me. Point blank its fake. According to Snopes, nowhere on the birth certificate does it say African American. However, the conspiracy arose by the fact that the term African actually does appear on it. But its written in response to the question about his father’s race. Which is explained that people of color were sometimes called African in those days. His father was from Kenya. Mystery solved. Conspiracy debunked. A nothing burger to the highest power. Yet people believe because they heard others spread this lie.

I must also add a similar occurrence at another day gig, happened recently with another woman of a comparable age, sex and color, who also threw out a few talking points which made this weeks uh oh moments feel that there is a pattern forming. Maybe its just this job and not a nation wide phenomenon? Maybe its just me and some kind of chemical I give off when I’m talking politics with the wrong people? or maybe my realization is right on the money. They keep saying Trump won that huge voters block of middle aged to elderly white woman, well seems now I see why. Its called brainwashing, its called lies.

On television, every so often they trot out groups of women, very similar to the ones I am writing about and they discuss their feelings for Trump. Each time I’ve seen it, it has always puzzled me. Honestly I haven’t a clue how anyone has fallen or could fall under the spell of Donald or any one of the Republicans. But maybe now I can almost understand the how in it a little. How can you win someone’s vote when others have tainted people’s feelings for them so much by brainwashing them with conspiracies that for whatever reason they are too stupid too realize are utter nonsense. 

I am so sick of hearing how nothing that was done to our social networks, or shared on them, had an any effect on the election results. Really? People believe lies as fact now. They actually hate Hillary Clinton, President Barack Obama and even the former first Lady, Michelle, because of lies that they heard, over and over again. That no matter what you say, they refuse to listen to. What’s maddening in all this is that everyone of the lies can be easily debunked, sadly the problem being that these brainwashed fools keep refusing to listen to the truth. 

I think what occurred on our social networks did have an effect on our Presidential election. Seems Steve Bannon use of Cambridge Analytica probably was the smartest campaign move that the Trump campagin might have done. Donald might be insane, but the man may not just be as dumb as we all think he is. Seems he didn’t just luck out or accidentally was in the right place at the right time during the last several years. Apparently Steve Bannon while working for Trump’s campaign hired Cambridge Analytica to help brainwash millions of people into believing lies and disbelieving facts and the truth by using Facebook against us. So now Mark Zuckerberg has got lots of explaining to do. Either he was duped, or was in on the whole crime. Perhaps his buddying up to Russia wasn’t just a business move like Trump’s was, but maybe another coordinated piece of a huge puzzle that Vladimir Putin has been maneuvering ever since he started his attempt at turning Russia back in the evil Soviet Empire of old. 

The best part in all this, if one can say there is anything good that can come of it, the fools who pulled the stunt have been outed, and have been showcased all over the net and the news on video bragging about doing it. Its possible now that Facebook will have to face the music for their possible crimes in helping Vladimir’s preferred candidate into the high chair that currently has replaced the President’s seat of choice. One would hope this latest bombshell about Cambridge Analytica misuse of Facebook might finally be the straw that broke the camels back. Perhaps discovering Facebook was indeed used as a weapon against Hillary Clinton and as a way for Donald J. Trump to lie his way into office might finally awaken the zombies. I hope they wake up in time to witness Donald’s walk along the green mile, cause it would be sad if they are still blind to the truth and react to it as if his removal was the crime and not all of the monstrous acts he really pulled and is still pulling.

THE STATE OF OUR UNIOM… UNION IS… PRETTY MUCH IN A WORD SAD

So now after Trump’s pathetic showcase of reading a speech, the alleged smoking gun to end the “witch hunt” concocted by Devin Nunes and Trump himself has again showcased all they ever do is make stuff up and lie 

THIS PROVES ONE THING, DONALD NEVER READS and definitely watches way too much Fox Faux News for our nation’s own good. Talk about the perfect representation of what’s wrong with everything we are currently suffering through, a typo on invitations for the sheep who were planning on attending Trump’s latest attempt to try to read presidentially. Sadly this wasn’t the first but one of many screw-ups by those in Trump’s inner circle, who seemingly have never heard about spell check or proof readers. But come on, this was the State of the Union, the one time during the year when our ‘elected’ leader gets to go on television and showcase what a great job he or she did, and how they were planning on fixes for whatever problems that weren’t overhauled during the preceding year. 

I must write at the start that I honestly refused to watch the event, and still haven’t. Sorry, I just couldn’t. Not this year, not while this clown still has the title of President of the United States. The last time I missed one George Walker Bush was President, and sorry the only thing I wanted to hear from him was I screwed up. That he had started a war with the wrong nation on false Intel or worse, and caused our economy to implode with his tax cuts and never ending war. Sadly I am still awaiting that apology, and I am definitely waiting for some members of the Bush Walker White House to get the punishments that some if not all surely deserve. Other then than that I’ve never missed one. Even when Ronald Reagan was President, and I worried myself sick that any day World War 3 was gonna start I watched. I booed and shouted at my television, but I witnessed history in the making that at least came with a semblance of reality. Even if his reality was slightly off-kilter.

So after a year of Trump spouting off lies, tweeting like his life depended on it, and his never-ending attacks on others for simply doing their jobs, while systematically it appears on an agenda to destroy our very Democracy from the inside out, I decided to miss out on his version of history. I’m sorry how much more can one human being take before his television set becomes a victim of his shall we say dissatisfaction in how our world has turned into a perpetual nightmare. I know this speech is supposed to show us where our nation has been and where the person in charge is gonna be taking us, but I’m sorry I simply couldn’t stomach one more minute, let alone an hour or more of Donald reading off nonsense that most likely could be the first time he himself is learning about it what he’s reading. 

Some of my friends told me that I have to watch to see and hear it from my own perspective, especially since I write a blog about politics and definitely would be putting my two cents in. That listening to other interpretations of what he said, instead of hearing it on my own, makes me in some ways as bad as those who spout nonsense off on Fox that seemingly comes from their overseers in Moscow. That missing it, and discovering via others who had to sat through it, or as I can imagine suffered through it, wasn’t the proper thing to do if I was planning on writing an editorial dissecting the word salad that others had written for him. I guess you, the reader will be the judge if my missing it, helped or hindered my opinion of his big moment to shine a light on all of his accomplishments.

That said, after listening to how the speech was criticized and destroyed by most, and seeing the little of it that I could stomach, I think the best part of the speech was the fact that I was smart enough not to sit through it. Not to suffer listening to pretty much gibberish. It was refreshing for once to hear people not say how Presidential he was because he could read the TelePrompTer and behave like an adult. I thought MSNBC’s Chuck Todd actually made a bigger fool of himself, then usual when he seemed upset that Donny was boring and that during this big event he wasn’t “authentic” Trump. I guess, meaning a pathetic Don Rickles insult double, spewing hatred and insults to everyone who doesn’t bow down to his treasonous immoral impulses? Which is pretty much how Chuck Todd described it. I wish I was kidding, but Chuck actually was longing for a little off the cuff Trumpisms. While listening to him whine about Donald, I simply shook my head and said to myself, this is whats wrong with our political talking heads today, especially after listening to him for once bitch on and on and on about longing for a real leader to run our nation. No Chuck, honestly the only good thing about the event was that he didn’t go off script. What are we to make of the sad excuse for whats happening right in front of our eyes? The non-stop applause by Donald, for the things he just read off the TelePrompTer was kind of unnerving, even if seen only through clips of the event. Yes, the madness of King Drumpf gets more apparent every day, while his minions get more and more stuck in the muck that he or his associates got us in, in the first place. As their lies protecting their cherished cheeto faced president, get wackier and more insane each day then anyone could have believed possible.

We spent weeks being teased about the Nunes memo release. Seriously, the more they try to showcase that the whole thing is a left wing witch hunt conspiracy concocted to help Hillary Clinton and hurt Donald Trump, the more they look idiotic and all in on the crime. Seems a Russian troll named Carter Page who somehow got in bed with Donald, after years of working in Russia, is who they have decided to hang their hats on to defend their President or should I write their Führer. Seriously? This Bozo? Supposedly the anti FBI intelligence memo was going to be the smoking gun that would take out the Democrats and seemingly at the same time put the FBI into the grave. As usual with attacks by Republicans its always “bigger than Watergate” and that any public officials named in it would be sent to prison because of its shocking and anti American revelations. This sham concocted by fools was gonna prove without a shadow of doubt that everyone is against Donald. The FBI, the CIA, anyone who didn’t vote for him, that means the majority of citizens, and of course means the Democrats who according to Trump are now treasonous because they refused to give him any applause at his State of the Union fiasco. I presume the man in orange has never watched a State of Union address, because if he did he would know this is just standard protocol by the political parties not to give an inch to their adversaries. But with Donald, somehow he keeps forgetting he’s a President and not a Czar, Dictator or leader of communist nation.  

What gets me with this whole fiasco is that the members of Congress who have decided to work for Donald as opposed to the people who actually elected them, went against precedent and demanded to see the FBI transcripts against the wishes of everyone who isn’t in bed with Trump. Then after weeks of wrangling to get them, and having won that round, they obnoxiously did exactly what some of us worried about. They used the Intel, that nobody was supposed to ever see to not to seek the truth in what happened during the also election. But to instead try to end the investigation into the possibility that Donald J. Trump had stolen Hillary Clinton’s Presidency. Remember in the end we are describing what is the stealing of a presidency, with the assistance of a foreign government. For some reason, thats the one thing that all of these Republican fools keep forgetting to discuss. That crime, doesn’t seem to matter. According to Trumps minions colluding with a foreign country against our own isn’t criminal, but being the saint, who uncovered the crime is. The old lets attack the whistle blower defense.

So after a 24/7 onslaught by Fox News, as well as the Republican talking heads beating the drum that this memo had to be seen by the American people for transparency purposes, the Republicans on a straight party line vote handed Donald what they hoped would be his get out of jail card for free. Hysterically or is that sadly, neither Senator David Nunes or Donald J. Trump himself ever actually read the 4 page memo that supposedly was gonna exonerate the 45th President. I should say, that yes I did read the 4 page memo after reading Trump’s tweets announcing to the world that the memo proves that he’s innocent. That according to him, there is no collusion, it’s all fake news, and all of the conspiracies against him should all be called false and simply be forgotten. So he can enjoy the rest of his tenure as leader of the land of Trumptopia and do as many crimes as King Joffrey desires.  

A few days after the initial memo was released, except for Fox news of course, its actually had the opposite effect on people’s opinions then the Trumpeters had hoped or had well, trumpeted. Happily for democracy, it seems most people who are in the know, or who have actually read the memo have come out to say it showcases that Carter Page’s part of the investigation wasn’t what started people’s questions about the Trumps and their ties to Russia. Especially when in the very last paragraph of the memo it states that he in fact wasn’t the reason for the investigation. Something happened earlier which got the Fed’s juices flowing, and his name is George Papadopoulos who as we remember has already secretly pled guilty to lying to federal agents about his contacts with Kremlin-connected Russians. The fact is Carter Page was already under investigation way before he even got involved, proves the investigation currently taking place had nothing to do with any dossier. It had to do with all the other oddball and frankly criminal like behavior apparently everybody associated with Donald has been doing for years, or least for as long as they’ve been involved with Trumps political career.

So the question has to be, why go through all that process of distorting the facts, destroying precedent again, to try to help Donald get away with crimes against the state? Why? I understand if its to save your own bacon or the people you love, but for Trump, again why? I mean if you sold your soul for political or financial gain and the slop about to hit the fan, I get why some would do practically anything to muddy the waters to try to save themselves from a prison sentence or even better a firing squad. But if you’re gonna do it, shouldn’t you do it when its not such a pathetically bad attempt at a cover-up? I guess the good thing in all this is how pathetic the Trumpeters are when it comes to this espionage game. Every day, since day one, its been there own ineptitudes that in the end will be the reason they all wind up behind bars or on death row. 

So then the Democrats got all excited about having their own memo released, arguing in Congress and everywhere possible that their’s which incidentally was approximately 10 pages long, needed to be released as well. Listening to the talking heads argue for and against this memo’s release is sadly also politically motivated. Some were using the fact that nothing in the republican memo revealed actually helped Trump’s defense, so why bother releasing another memo that might expose too much Intel? Apparently, as is the case with those voices, only Donald is allowed to break precedent. But the Democrats are having none of it, using the Republicans own talking points, the old ‘for the sake of transparency’ pitch to push the concept that the people have the right to get a clearer sense of whats really in the Intel and not some partisan memo possibly co-written in the oval office to be the only story that comes out. So on Monday, February 5, 2017, after the Democrats got step one of their wishes approved, when the Congressional members of the Intelligence committee voted unanimously to push their side of the story onto Donald’s big presidential desk, just a week after the Republicans had voted ‘no’ on a straight party line vote to releasing the Democratic memo. But after the Republican’s voted to allow their memo out, and it was unveiled to reveal what a joke they had allowed, they pretty much had no choice but to go against even themselves. Hm, seems something must of happened to make them go, maybe Donald needs to make a fool of himself on his own, without themselves joining in on the fun. 

Of course, the problem being, to get the Democrat’s side of the story out, Trump has to approve the release of their memo, which it turns out he decided not to. Thats right, the liar lied again. You see  when he was asked if he would also release the Democratic memo because he had already allowed the republican one, he said yes he would. I just wonder how many people actually believed he would release the memo at all? I kept hearing that he pretty much had to after releasing the Republican joke, but when has the orange faced bozo ever done what was expected of him? What I don’t understand in all this is even a monster named Trey Gowdy said the Republican memo doesn’t really help Trump. Seems even Trey believes going after Carter Page and the FBI for this conspiracy has nothing to do with Trump’s colluding with Russia. Donny was then given 5 days to allow its release, edit the Hell out of it and then release it, or decide not to at all. I for one didn’t think he would let it come out at least in its current form, and sadly I was right. Because it was announced early on Friday evening, February 9, 2018, that he blocked the release of the Democrats’ rebuttal to the GOP FISA memo. He wants edits in it, because the memo had too much information. The Republican talking heads argue that too many facts and truths are in it, and the Democrats knew that Donald would have to turn it down. Ironically the Trumpeters are calling the Democratic memo a stunt as opposed to their interpretation of the Intel that they came up with out of the Hellholes. Seems, they not the Republicans are playing political games. If you believe that bull, I have a bridge I can sell you.  

Currently we are on a holding pattern. According to some reports online, the Democrats actually can legally release their memo without Trump’s say so. But knowing the democrats they won’t because they don’t want to be accused of being the bad guy. No, they would rather have Donny and his minions go after them, attack them on trumped up bull, and hope it doesn’t hurt their own political futures. I also heard that if necessary the Democrats could read their memo into the record on the House floor. Knowing the talking heads, no matter what they do, somehow Trump will twist any positive into a negative. 

As we wait to see if Robert Mueller gets to finish his job, or if he gets canned by Donald before he does. We must ponder if he’s allowed to complete his mission, if it is better if he finishes before the next election or after it. Because at present it looks like the democrats will regain control of either the House, the Senate or both. If they do, its more likely that we would be seeing an Impeachment, especially if Mueller comes out with what we expect him to come out with. But if he finishes up  before election day and the Republicans are still in control, even if Mueller comes out and destroys Donald, its probably a sure bet that they would simply ignore the findings. Of course if the investigation ends and the facts clearly showcase that Donald and his minions did collude with Russia and that Trump did in fact obstruct justice, it is possible Republicans do exactly what their predecessors did during the Richard Nixon Watergate event. One would hope, they would do the right thing and help to remove him from the office he never should have been in, in the first place. But its probably safer waiting for election day anyway. Of course the longer he’s in office, the more damage he’ll be able to inflict upon our nation. Well I guess keep weathering the storm people, its got to get better right? God forbid it just keeps getting worse.

IT TOOK THE SH*THOLE A WHOLE YEAR TO SHUT DOWN OUR GOVERNMENT… KUDOS DONALD I WAS EXPECTING LESS!

After hundreds of thousands marched against Trump, seems a year with Donald hasn’t made it better. I guess now we will see if Chuck’s gamble proves he’s the real dealmaker in Washington that Trump kept telling everybody he was.

VLADIMIR MUST BE ONE HAPPY PUPPET MASTER… seems the games he’s played to help elect Donald J. Trump is working out better than he possibly ever conceived. Putin may not have had those nasty adoption sanctions weakened… Sorry, couldn’t resist. We all know by now, that the something burger of the forgotten meetings and assorted phone calls had nothing to do with kids, and everything to do with selling our nation off to the rich pals of the President of Russia. That is unless you can’t get your head out of the Fox faux news world of alternate reality lies that they keep coming up with. 

It is really something listening to the Republicans spin their attacks on the Democrats for causing the shutdown over “illegal immigrants” as they like to call the Dreamers. How simply despicable they are, throwing bread crumbs for months that they were willing to discuss and negotiate. Giving the dreamers real hope a deal could be forged and Sir Orangeness could actually sign it into law. But of course, each time we hear about lots of talk, seemingly good vibes, and positive talking points by those political leaders involved nothing ever comes of it. In the end they always pull away, or Mitch or Paul won’t ever put it up for a vote. Trump made The Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) an issue when he rescinded President Barack Obama’s executive action. The Republicans using The Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) as a carrot throwing it in at the end, but still refusing to add DACA into the deal which caused the Democrats and several Republicans to vote no to keeping the lights on. 

Giving the Democrats an awful choice. Having to take a stand, and for once showcase they do have a spine or give in. Be “good”American patriots, and just go along with the charade that a few crumbs would come the Democrats and the people’s way if they just bowed down and blew the orange faced doofus in charge. Sadly whenever one of these votes or initiatives occur and the Dreamers get pushed aside, some blame the Democrats for not succeeding. When if it wasn’t for them, they wouldn’t even have a voice. I can’t blame them, we are discussing their very lives, but be careful how you attack the very people who are trying to help. Hopefully this decision to side with the children of foreign born visitors who walked the shores of the United States, won’t give Trump the thing he needed to jolt the electorate to his side of his new world order. 

For a man, Vladimir’s Donny, who only a few days back spoke of his love for these dreamers, it is really eye-opening to realize that this imposter of a President, would utter such words when in his heart he never believed a thing he said. Not that many of us thought what he was saying was nothing more than bull and all he was doing was just putting on a show for the masses. If you can describe all the months of in your face white supremacy talking points, or the badly veiled racist commentary as just asides and not proof that Trump was a bigoted douche bag. But if you consider at the same time our political leaders were trying to hammer out a budget deal, which includes immigration decisions and most importantly of course the DACA recipients, it is pretty I should say timely for Trump to have been quoted calling African countries and other foreign lands with predominately non-white citizens as sh*thouses. 

Remember that big 90 minute television reality event, when he had what 20 members of the Congress sit around him pitching ideas? The Trumpeters trying desperately to showcase Donald’s mind hadn’t completely slipped away. Remember how he agreed with any and all suggestions thrown at him? I distinctly remember our President, well not mine, responded and made a big point that he would sign off on anything that came to his desk. Even if he wasn’t happy about it, no questions asked. Sadly with Mr. Jello as Chuck has categorized his way of deal making, Donald has showcased on too many occasions that he seems to have completely forgotten his own words. But that’s okay, he’ll come up with something new tomorrow and the day after that, and the day after that. Each time the question is put to him, he keeps denying straight faced that he had ever said the words in the first place even if its on tape or on audio. Consistency isn’t his middle name.  

So the Democrats now should have a definite political talking point they can run on. Showcasing that they are the party of inclusion and democracy. That there is a difference between the party of us and the party of well, rich white people. Well I’m proud of the Democrats, my party, for once putting your foot down. It doesn’t happen too often, but when it does its always for a good thing. Unlike the republicans who shut the Government down over giving people healthcare! 

Perhaps the Democrats finally learned. Especially after all the hypocrisy that we’ve been smacked in the faces with that they all pull on a never-ending daily basis. One would think that this is a slam dunk political move too, but sadly the vile trumpeting Republicans as usual have already found their attack line and the media is already reporting that apparently its working. 

The attack by the Trumpeters is that Democrats are with the illegals that kill our innocent American born children. You know all those Mexicans, all those brown sweaty ugly foreigners streaming over the border to rape, steal and kill our babies! Those are the Dems priority not us, the true Americans. There’s a new disgusting political ad by the committee to reelect Trump and Pence, that actually uses the words “Democrats who stand in our way will be complicit in every murder committed by illegal immigrants.” You can’t make this up and I so wish I was kidding. This is how the political right operate, always going to the lowest vile attack they can come up with. Always finding a way to attack others as un-American when they are the ones acting like savage racist beasts. They have no problems using racism and hatred as a way to separate Americans. 

Budget director Mick Mulvaney, spun the shutdown in the most ironic way. “The Democrats got the shutdown that they wanted on his anniversary.” Ironic in my eyes since, it was his ineptitude and disinterest in doing the job. His unbelievable outbursts and odd behavior that got us to this point not the Democrats or even the Republicans. The original woman’s march might’ve never occurred or at least have become such a phenomenon if the man with too many skeletons in his closest hadn’t become President.

On the 2nd anniversary of the woman’s march which was launched in protest to the realization that the male chauvinist pig known as Donald J. Trump had somehow beaten the most qualified candidate to ever run for President, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who just happened to be a woman. It’s really eye opening how pathetic the man has been, possibly even worse than most of us feared. Every stomp speech he spewed, every talking point that has become his mantra, he has either done the opposite of, or simply blamed everyone else for his own failures. Half the time the man sound paranoid or delusional making people ponder if our President has lost his mind like Reagan did during his Presidency. Nothing is ever his fault. Everyone but him is lying and against his wishes. He is the only one telling the truth and we should only believe him and his Trumpeters. 

Any and all of his success so far as the sitting President can be squarely put on the shoulders of his predecessors brilliant job of handling our economy. Even the supposed surge in the stock market probably has more to do with the 8 year turn around that President Barack Obama took us on and nothing to do with Donald’s power to come up with great deals. So according to his puppets his so-called tax deal which really hasn’t begun effecting anything is being used to showcase what a genius he is. For a few days after the big robbery was signed off on, we got several major corporations announcing pay raises and bonuses, which were attributed to Trump. But unnervingly we’ve gotten a lot more businesses beginning to announce more layoffs, including some who announced those bonuses and raises. So if you compare the two sides, it might turn out to be a wash. Meaning, the greedy bastards, pocketed the gift that Donald handed them, gave some people a raise, but canning others, so probably in the end their costs are actually less. 

Oh and about those raises they touted as something of huge significance, I wouldn’t be shocked if all of them had more to do with the minimum wage being lifted than the corporations suddenly growing a heart. Remember how people voted in their states to raise that states minimum wage, well those raises kicked in. None of which has anything to do with Donald or the Republicans. In fact, several Republican people in charge have cancelled or tried to lessen the minimum wage increase. Yes they are that monstrous. 

One year in, this has got to be the longest one I can ever actually remember in my lifetime. As Senator Chuck Schumer perfectly expressed, the man can’t say yes to anything, even if the very same day he already said he would just hours before. The Republicans have the audacity to come out and blame Chuck for the shutdown, but it was Mitch who refused to put up for vote a bill that the Senate had worked up in a bipartisan manner the night before they voted to shut it down, believe it or not. It was Donald who changed his mind, not the democrats on at least two deals that were agreed upon. 

It was Trump, and no one else, who decided to end President Barack Obama’s DACA Executive Decision, and It was the Republicans who decided to use the CHIP program as a bargaining tool. Imagine how God awfully inhumane you must be to use the lives of innocent children and adults for political purposes. Well sadly you don’t have to, its real, and they’ve been doing it for as long as I can remember. So now after months of teasing the Democrats with a possible deal, when the offer was on the table, instead of actually doing the right thing, they chose to shut the government down. And the carrot they are hanging over the Democrats heads is that they would come back to the table and hammer out a bill, if they end this nonsense tamper tantrum.  

Paul Ryan, I gotta ask is he trying to see if he can lie as badly as Donald does? Paul, just so you know, if no one else has told you, when you do it, when you lie,  it’s actually easier to tell you are full of … than practically anyone else. So the talking point, the words he’s memorized for this battle for his America’s soul. His coming out and spewing that the Democrats are all at fault is seriously dumb. Its not me, we love the dreamers. Its not us, its all on them. According to them, they’ve been angels trying their hardest to fix the sh*thouse that President Obama left. Its was the liberal monsters that caused the shutdown over the Dreamers, not we, we love them, we would do anything for them, accept of course vote on a measure to finally get some peace in their lives. Besides they have plenty of time, months! Plenty, so why the heck would they pull a stunt like this? Its baffling, and bewildering! It makes no sense. These are Ryan’s talking points. Disregarding the years he and his cronies tried to shut down out government over Obamacare. Oh Senator Cruz… sorry your Green Eggs and Ham filibuster isn’t something any of us will ever forget. We will try… but sadly what you pulled, shutting down the government is something that will be put on your tombstone.

Ryan keeps repeating that this wasn’t something that needed to be done today. That this shutdown wasn’t necessary, but the Democrats refused to be the good soldier and just go with the flow. Not us, we love those dreamers. After the Democrats agree, they would work on the deal, we promise. The dog and pony show we’ve seen before. I’m sorry liar, I don’t believe you and I haven’t probably since I heard you say your first words on air spouting some rant about killing off Social Security and medicare. As for plenty of time, every day people lose their DACA coverage, not in months. Theirs live hang in the balance. We all know how this goes, the republicans will kick this can down the road, till all the dreamers have to leave the country or go into hiding like their parents did for decades. 

One of the funniest things occurred as the march throughout the land began, Donald tweeted out a message to all the ladies, basically making him sound like a delusional nut job. “Beautiful weather all over our great country, a perfect day for all Women to March. Get out there now to celebrate the historic milestones and unprecedented economic success and wealth creation that has taken place over the last 12 months. Lowest female unemployment in 18 years!”  @realDonaldTrump

I gotta ask, would you describe that tweet as one written by a supposedly sane person? Did you see Dr. Jerry’s assessment of Donald’s health? Wow, talk about fake news. If I was Trump, I think I would want a second opinion. Perhaps Trump is dying and the good doc’s diagnosis was his way of covering up the truth. One day Donald will go golfing, and right after announcing he hit a hole in one, possibly his first ever, the man will kick the bucket. I mean come on people, the man looks like you could stick a pin in him and watch as he flies away like helium leaking out of a balloon.

So last night, the Dems, as some of called it, have given in. The shutdown was well, shut down, after 3 days, because Mitch supposedly made a promise with Chuck, and Chuck thought about it and went okay. Sadly too many in the Democratic party and way too many out there not into the conversation, are now attacking Chuck and the Democrats for giving up on them. I am now awaiting for the calls to remove the senior New York Senator as the Minority Leader. How could he fail all the DACA kids. Wake up people, the talking point that the democrats are bad was working. Chuck made the most logical decision, and I for one applaud the Democrat. I can actually see the truth and the genius of his deal. Simply put, this gives Mitch 3 weeks to make it so otherwise, shutdown number two of the Trump era begins. So now Mitch will at least put the vote up for the Dreamers and if they don’t when it comes to re-upping again to keep the Government running, don’t even ask Chuck to the table, he ain’t coming. When they have to vote again, for the next short term deal, Chuck will not give him the benefit of the doubt anymore. Because of Chuck’s move, now its all in the Republican hands. 

Now if Donald and his merry band of Democratic, big ‘D’ not small destroyers, pull more games, a shutdown will be all on him and them. The Democrats will rightly be looked at as the Party of the people, not the party of Illegals as Donald would like you think. And if the deal finally gets done the dreamers might finally be given legal status they all so much desire. The only question I now have, is if a deal is made on DACA, will next election day Donald be given the credit he’s gonna take on the deal? Or will the voters see the truth and vote out all the Republicans who used the negotiations to harm millions of innocent Americans as yet another way to hurt people of color?

HAPPY NEW YEARS TO US ALL, AS DONALD’S PRESIDENCY BEGINS IMPLODING IN A BLAZE OF FIRE AND FURY… APPARENTLY ITS AS INSANE INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE AS MOST OF US FEARED

I never thought I say this, but thank you Stephen K. Bannon. As famous break-ups go, Trump’s and his former Alt-right pal might be one for the ages, as its ramifications could lead to the ending of a Presidency 

WHAT A WAY TO BRING IN THE NEW YEAR, as Stephen Bannon, once Donald’s most trusted partner in crime, has now been suddenly transformed into a pariah by the Trumpeters. Apparently treasonous Trump hasn’t learned the oldest rule in the book, if you drop one of your former friends or throw away a henchmen, you better make sure they can’t come back to bite you in the ass. One would think someone who has spent most of his business career and life dealing with shady characters would know that. Guess not.

Just remember sir, what you’ve accomplished together or what they helped you accrue, is now fodder for their own financial gain, self preservation and most importantly getting even with you, the person who kicked them out of their seats of power. For some reason when its time for any of the Trumpeters gooses to be cooked, why do I feel each and every one of the lot will probably sing to save themselves. I’m just wondering if any will be idiotic fools to take the punishment for the old man, and spend years in prison for the crimes Donald most likely committed.

Its becoming a daily thing and I’ve lost count how many times I’ve thought that we finally found the bombshell which could be the thing that puts the Trump Presidency in our nation’s rear view mirror. There’s got to be a law of averages, right? One of these days, one of these bombshells has to be one too many for even the staunchest believer in Donald’s America to take, right? At least one can hope, well at least I can, that something happens before its too late to save our Democracy and probably our planet. Am I the only one who fears for our actual world? That Donald’s nuclear button’s hugeness or should I write his madness, causes Kim Jong-un to test Trump by actually pushing his own very tiny button and the end of life as we know it begins?

Hopefully Thursday’s big seismic event could change or should I write shorten Donald’s time in office. It seems the political world erupted in the wee hours of the morning, when the publicity departments behind a new book by Michael Wolff entitled ‘Fire and Fury’ had their dreams fulfilled. As their advance word made the cable news media talking heads and the online world explode with excitement, accusation and all manner of overzealous political intrigue. Turning the book into a number one best seller that could help take down a President, even before it was released. Of course it probably won’t and as with all the other scandals that have rocked this White House, Donald will probably somehow make this one as frivolous as all the other potential terminators of Trumps master plan to take over the world.

I awoke with a news message on my iPhone’s screen informing me that Bannon and Trump were officially off as a couple. I then turned on my television and was slammed by non-stop chatter about that days latest unbelievable news worthy announcement. Helped mightedly by Donald J. Trump’s very own tweets, as well as Sarah Huckabee Sanders tone-deaf responses during that days political briefing, which pretty much blew apart any defense that Donald Trump and his Trumpeters had come up with. Of course taking sides when we are discussing treason in the Oval Office is the last thing people should be doing, but sadly is the only thing we’ve been seeing since Donald somehow transformed into the 45th President of the United States.

Hysterically Donald’s attorneys tried and failed to shut the book down before it was even published by firing off a cease and desist letter to the publisher. So to spite the threat of legal action, the publisher announced it would be released Friday, four days earlier than it was expected to come out. “So now Bannon has lost his mind”, that is according to one of Donald J. Trump’s tweets. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. But why do I feel like I’ve heard this song before? While you serve the devil, he loves you and counts the many ways you helped him. But once you go against his royal lowness, you are immediately a nut job, called a coffee boy, a nobody, and a fool thats making everything up. As with every previous former Trumpian who has fallen in disfavor of The Donald, as soon as you are disloyal, you earn a nickname, in this case “Sloppy Steve” and the wrath of all the players in Donald’s devious plans. Not surprisingly Steven has since tried to backtrack some of the quotes in the book, explaining that what he said was misinterpreted. That he still loved his papa bear with all his heart. Sorry for the misunderstanding and please don’t put me out to pastor. What a way to kiss up and try to win back his financial backers.

The joke about the break-up and not that I’ve read the instant number one best seller, and right now I honestly am not sure if I ever will. But according to Michael Wolff, the author of the book, yes, blockbuster expose isn’t about just Bannon going off on Donald, its about everyone, and I mean everyone going off on the would be King. According to the talking heads whose craniums are exploding over this, the book is actually about everyone in the White House thinking that Donald J. Trump is a blubbering in over his head lunatic. Simply put even they think this man acts like a child whose on the cusp of having Alzheimer’s disease.

Speaking of losing your mental capacity… watching him, at least the little we see of him lately, is getting to be a game of is he losing it or has he lost it already? If the book ‘Fire and Fury’ hasn’t proven anything, who know how much of it is in fact trumped up stories and made up gossip. But the best gossip is the kind that reads and sounds real and what has been showcased in the year and a half Donald has taken over our political world. It certainly has showcased what many of us think is true about whats going on behind the scenes, and it surely goes with the many comments that have been leaked throughout 2017. Plus seeing his reactions to it, his arguments that he’s a genius, that he’s stable, that he’s been honest 100% of the time, simply make him look and sound even crazier.

Oh about that limited time that we the people get to see his majesty, what gives? As far as I figure out since Donald was sworn in, he has had one press briefing. One, in an entire year as President. The only questions he ever answers that is if he chooses to, is when he’s on stage with foreign dignitaries or when he’s signing off on another one of his decrees. Otherwise the only way we knows he’s alive and kicking are his tweets, or when we see him while he golfs on his presidential tour of Trump properties, or when he’s seen reading teleprompters of speeches which he might be reading for the first time.

So I have to ask, what’s with the ‘Big Brother’ video at Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ press event? Makes you think the puppet smackdown that Hillary Clinton hurled at him during the debate was true. Actually it reminded me more of the Star Trek episode, “The Corbomite Maneuver” when the alien in order to strike fear in his foes, presents himself as a grotesque blue-skinned humanoid. Much like in ‘The Wizard of Oz’, whats behind the curtain turns out to be a meek little man. Well in the real world the man on the video tape is probably considered closer to obese and sadly he’s probably losing his mind. But whats really scary and oh so maddening is how his buddies in power are giving it a pass.

We’re almost one year in and Donald’s trying to play President very badly has only made all my worst fears seem like little nothings. I mean before it was a reality I had an inkling how bad it could be and yes wrote many a tirade about how unprepared, ill-equipped and out of his league he would be if God forbid he won the job. My worries about Hillary which were mostly stoked by the non-stop assault by the liars out there, was that she somehow wouldn’t get the job. Worrying about her abilities, her capabilities or her mental capacity never came to mind with her. I just worried that lies and conspiracies would take her down. Sadly with whats been in the news lately I find it still so upsetting, that before election day I was worried people wouldn’t vote for Hillary Clinton, possibly the most qualified person ever to run for President, because she was a woman. That part of her loss has never really been discussed or put into the explanation by seemingly any of the talking heads for the reasons she isn’t the 45th President. 

Which brings me to the #MeToo revolution that has taken over our world and hopefully leading us all to a better place. As I finish this, I’ve just sat through this years Golden Globes Awards whose famous faces all were seen wearing the #Timesup pins. As someone who never appreciated the fashion show element of the awards season, I found this years decision by the women of Hollywood, to wear black as opposed to the color of the moment, made a striking visual comment. Seeing the men as well follow their female counterparts really was a nice touch too. Listening to all the powerful women make their statements was exciting to say the least, but Oprah Winfrey’s speech made me go, should we start discussing a run for her Presidency. I mean lets talk about universal love, about someone who can really make a speech, and actually be coherent. Talk about a person whose the total opposite of the man currently called the president of these United States.

I’m sure I’m not the first person to think the #MeToo movement really had its start with Donald J. Trump’s own bad behavior. Sadly I think the sweeping changes in our society, the firings and social media uprisings that have occurred recently, might have altered the final results if the election was occurring now as opposed to when the end of our nation began on election night. At least one would hope, if the Access Hollywood tape came out today, after the Harvey Weinstein and the Kevin Spacey revelations, helped destroy their careers, and several others, that if Donald was heard on a tape today, he wouldn’t have gotten away with grabbing any ladies by their P-ssy… don’t you?

I spend way a lot of time trying to believe our national nightmare is just a bad dream. Way too much of that time has been preoccupied trying to figure out how so many people could’ve been so fooled? And seriously too much time wondering how people like Sean Hannity can look at themselves in the mirror and how their viewers can watch him without their heads exploding from the share garbage that he’s spewing on a nightly basis. Hopefully someday soon we can all look back when this chapter in our nation’s history is over, that is if any of us survive it, and see that in the end it was a learning experience. One of those era’s that the human race had to live through and survive to get to the next level in its development. 

After we survived Nixon and Ford by getting in Jimmy Carter I had hoped we as a nation had learned. But sadly instead Ronald Reagan came into office. I for one wasn’t a fan and was extremely happy when Bill Clinton became President and seemingly set our nation on a course to the future.  But the chad got in the way and George Walker Bush with the help of his Vice President almost destroyed our nation. But again we were saved by a Democrat, when Barack Obama rescued us from the edge of disaster. I had hoped, when Hillary Clinton was on the horizon  the people had learned the lying game the Republicans always played and wised up and finally ended the vicious cycle. But sadly no, there are still too many people out there that never learn. You would think that after the almost full year of a disaster of a Presidency, that this time the wake-up call would finally end the madness. I have to believe it will this time, but if a fool who sent us into war with the wrong nation can somehow win a second term, why shouldn’t Donald? I should add that Donald is trying to compare himself to Reagan, which honestly is a really bad comparison. Remember Ronnie’s mind went, some say during his tenure as president, seems thats exactly what is happening to him.

As the ramifications of Fire and Fury reverberate, Donald and his Trumpeters are in full force defensive mold. Most of them except Jeff Sessions are meeting in Camp David and the rest of us have to wait to see if Democracy as we know it is a thing that went out with President Barack Obama. According to a lot of informed people, by the time I finish this, Jeff Sessions could be out on his posterior. Seems one scenario is Donald fires him, picks a new Attorney General who isn’t recused from the Russian Investigation and then he ends Mueller’s current gig. That’s right all the stuff that’s been uncovered so far, you know the secret, forgotten meetings that the Trumpeters attended I guess never happened. All the FBI Intel showcasing Russian electorate shenanigans were simply nothing to waste our time on. Just disregard the person behind the curtain.

Which means Democracy’s last and only hope to end our current national nightmare is the next election. Which brings be to the news we got this week that Trump dissolved his voter fraud commission. When people first heard the news there was practically dancing in the streets, but than the second shoe dropped. Apparently he has asked the Department of Homeland Security to review the findings that the commission’s vice chairman Kris Kobach and its committee had found. Simply put, they’re gonna use the Intel to stop people from voting somehow. 

Sadly, and I wish I was joking, but the ways things are going by the next time voting occurs, I have a scary feeling that voting might just be a thing of the past. The Republicans signaled as much when it was reported that they had requested that instead of investigating one of the probable Russian collaborators like Flynn or even Vice President Mike Pence, they want to go after Christopher Steele of the infamous Steel Dossier. Why cause he reported the crime to the authorities or that he outed the treasonous traitors? Well I guess if they shut down the Mueller investigation, lets see if the people rise up like never before and put a scare into the powers that be. Lets see if the Donald and his band of treasonous monsters meekly leave the White House before they’re all dragged by the rioters into the streets in a bloody mess, or if we let the bad guys win and the end of the democratic experiment would have been lost by America but won by Donald and his buddy Vladimir.

DONALD PROMISED A HUGE CHRISTMAS PRESENT, SO WHY DOES IT FEEL LIKE WE JUST HAD A CHUNK OF COAL RAMMED UP OUR COLLECTIVE ASSES?

So Christmas came early for the Democrats as Alabama rejected Roy Moore and the Trump effect, so why does Mitch McConnell and Paul Ryan always turn out to be Scrooges?

SO IT TURNS OUT, DONALD IS GETTING HIS TAX WINDFALL AFTER ALL, and the deficit hawk hypocritical Republicans can now blow up the deficit to their hearts content. Apparently all these patriotic Americans, who screamed to the heavens for years that we needed to cut the debt otherwise all Hell would break lose, now are happy to destroy everything to get their backers off their backs. Point blank, our elected officials it appears were blackmailed by their investors to either give them what wanted, the tax breaks, or lose their pocketbooks and eventually their jobs. If you look at the poll numbers, they’ve already lost their constituents, they can’t afford to lose the people who keep getting them into office, their owners. And just like with the Trump White House, way too many of these political leaders pocketbooks speak with a heavy Russian accent. I mean come on, did you hear Roy Moore speak Russian, I actually got chills, and not in the good way. 

What blows my mind in all this is how do these Senators and Congressmen get so damned rich while working in political office? I seem to recall how many of them complained that their pay wasn’t big enough to afford to live in two places, their home states and in Washington D.C., why isn’t that investigated? How is it okay, that these writers of the tax bill seemingly will be the only Americans, besides the corporate bigwigs of course, that makes out like bandits from this weeks nightmare legislation? Listening to the experts on air, all we hear all day and all night, without exception is that these Republicans in the majority just wrote themselves a big fat pay day. It goes without saying that the experts I’m talking about aren’t the ones on Fox faux news, who only want to spew conspiracies and ignore reality and facts. 

The new poster child for Republican hypocrisy is also the perfect example of why no one should ever believe a thing that any of the Republicans say. Bob Corker, the United States Senator from Tennessee, who until recently was the loudest Republican voice argued that he would be saying no to the tax bill because of the debt it would create. That he would never say yes to it unless there were changes in the legislation to fix his issues with it. How funny, amazingly the debt issue wasn’t fixed, but they did add an amendment at the last minute into the tax legislation, which supposedly will earn the Senator millions. Not surprisingly, but definitely infuriating, once that amendment was in, his vote changed from nay to yes. And a hash tag was born, #CorkerKickback. As for the debt problem, magically it all appears to be forgotten. Guess we’re back to magical thinking and believing in Santa Claus. Oh, I should mention, like all hypocrites, Bob Corker, has come out and is very upset that people now think of him as a monstrous soulless sell-out. How dare any us think his vote was paid off?  Senator could you be any more pathetic, laughable or sad? 

Speaking of taxes, and the con of the century, guess who will make a butt load of money when Donald J. Trump signs his John Hancock on his first major piece of legislation in his almost year long administration? That’s right you guessed it, Donald Trump and the Trump family singers. The Trumps supposedly will earn millions initially, and with the Estate tax changes, possibly over a billion, a billion and a half. I wrote supposedly because how would anyone know? Since nobody is allowed to look over the man’s tax records.

Someone should really contact the Guinness Book of World Records, because it seems Donald is still under audit. Unbelievably but true, the orange faced liar-in-chief, according to his people is still being audited. Question, when did this audit begin if it actually is occurring at all?  Remember, there is no way of knowing if the person is actually being audited, so basically we have to “believe him” but as Hillary said brilliantly during the debates, “No Donald, I don’t believe you.” Also of note, when someone is under audit, there is nothing illegal about releasing his tax returns, or the returns of previous years not under audit. Remember all that talk about Donald’s tax returns during the campaign? How we needed to see them before he was allowed to change our tax code? Remember how people argued that he shouldn’t be allowed to even be a nominee of the Republican party, or better the Presidency without releasing his taxes? All that big talk about what was right, was forgotten in the campaign almost as fast as the Access Hollywood Bus revelation turned out to be as Donald Trump Junior would call it a nothing burger.

Seems no one else is talking about his taxes now. All those complainers before election day have gone silent. Senator Chuck Schumer of New York, remember coming out on more than a few occasions, as your face turned red with anger, how this could never happen, not in America. That they if necessary would do something to prevent Trump from orchestrating a tax bill when the Congress or the American people didn’t have a clue how much the President would benefit from it. Remember the Emoluments Clause, that Donald wouldn’t be allowed to make money off of the job as President? Well? Anything? Crickets… 

Now the man has signed into law the biggest changes into our tax system in thirty years, and his taxes are simply an after-thought. We’re too busy screaming about all the other crap he’s thrown into the wind that his monumental heist isn’t even being discussed. No its more important that we push conspiracies against Robert Mueller, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama, than talk about Donald’s con of the century.

On one hand every talking head has come out to let us know that this tax legislation is one big con game. The rich will get richer, the middle class will get poorer, and the poor will just disappear from view. That is till society’s dead weight, all die off and poverty is gone from America for good. Praise the lord and pass the ammunition. On the other hand, we get a fairy tale version from Trump’s propaganda wing Fox news that makes the Republican trickle-down day dream sound like heaven on Earth. That disregards what actually is in the law that apparently most if not all of the Republicans who said ‘yes’ to it, haven’t even read it. Just imagine, they didn’t read a bill that will effect every single American for decades to come. Well at least they have another excuse if or when our nation implodes financially. Why bother reading the small print, what could go wrong? I mean what could the lobbyist sneak in at the last minute, Right?

So if Trump’s band of treasonous monsters don’t all wind up on death row, or at least in a prison cell, about the time the results start becoming real with this tax legislation, the electorate will get to decide if the results so far, are reasons to drop kick the lot of them outta power. Of course the more pressing matter would be pitched, the Impeachment proceedings of Donald J. Trump on account of the Russian investigation. One would think, by next election day kicking them out, might be the best campaign pitch by a Democrat ever used. Hopefully the democrats this time won’t play nice and kick the monsters down when they most deserve it.

Like everything else they do the Trumpeters always screw something up. Sometimes like with Trump’s tax package, it happens even before the ink is dry, in this case, even before he signs his name on it. Wednesday evening, Rachel Maddow had an amazing take down on whats wrong with the implementation of the tax bill on her show. I must note, today, I read otherwise, so who knows what the whole story is, but according to new reports today, the changes to the tax code actually go into effect in 2019, not on January 2018 as was discussed during an interview on her show. Perhaps her story made them fix the provisions before Donald gave himself the biggest Christmas bonus check ever. I mean why not, it was reported that they were rewriting it within hours of the vote, why shouldn’t they make a fix that actually makes sense.

But if true, according to her report, one of the things no one was discussing during the run up to this weeks voting, or seemingly at all, I mean I haven’t heard one word about it, was when the legislation would go into effect. If Rachel’s report was correct, supposedly on January 1st, 2018, everything hits the fan. It all becomes real. One big problem, nothing has been set up for the big day. So the instant payoff we keep hearing about, how the heck does that happen if the W2 or whatever new forms they’ll come up with haven’t even been designed yet or the figures on it finalized? That’s why Obamacare and every other major legislation always are given sometimes years to get fully implemented. They always build a time frame in, a cushion if your will, so the world will be ready for the changes that everyone needs to learn how to live with.  And we are talking about something that effects every one of us that pays taxes, again what could go wrong?

Simply put, its insane. Need I remind you on what when wrong with the roll out of Obamacare and it’s website. This probably more than anything helped give the Republicans the perfect attack line on one of President Barack Obama’s signature achievements. Well what will happen when our pay stubs are all screwed up or our pay checks are held back till the system is fixed. What happens when millions are kept in the dark while they wait having their electricity turned off and have to live like the millions currently suffering in Puerto Rico? What happens when those millions on the mainland, you know your followers can’t feed their families. I give we would be living in another “Let them eat cake” moment, and hm, I wonder how that turned out? 

I’m sorry, if I sound negative but I have my doubts anything he does is for the good of the nation. Please, tell me I’m wrong, please tell me one thing that Donald has done while in office that hasn’t been messed up in one way or the other. As a way to trumpet Donald’s pitch was working and that the people were gonna actually feel flush with green like the rich folk living the life of Reilly. Magically even before anything was signed into law, several large corporations including Comcast have announced that they’re giving out hundreds if not thousands of bonus checks and raising salaries, showcasing how fast the trickle-down will wash us all with sweet cash in our pockets. Hm, I’m sorry this isn’t an effect of the tax legislation, this is just a few ass kissers trying to look good for the teacher. This was certainly something Donald wanted to spread like sunshine on a dreary winter day.

I wouldn’t be surprised if these bonuses were planned and the contracts already signed when Obama was President, but Donald’s people talked the CEO’s into making it a Trump benefit. Can’t wait to see how they react to the facts, if or when most likely, the reality of the business deals come back to bite these liars in their asses. Seems to me thats Donald’s modus operandi whenever he touts his administrations successes with corporate America. He pounds his chest like a gorilla about job growth or factories moving back to our shores, and its always smoke and mirrors, and its always somebody elses doing. Well lets see how far this publicity stunt spreads and how many people really get anything from Trump’s pie in the sky tax con. 

Simply, how many people will actually get jobs when everything shakes out or how many will in reality be worse off, jobless, and living in the streets. And how many of those positions gained or kept will be higher paying? Or will most of these new jobs, simply be the ones that all the illegals can’t do anymore because they’ve all been rounded up and deported. Dragged down to what I already can see occurring in the near future. You guessed it, our new deportation center in Puerto Rico. I mean what better use of the island now that Trump’s government is letting it die as quickly as possible. Instead of trying to fix the problem, he’s causing the largest mass exodus by American citizens in possibly our nations history. On the bright side, Ivanka now has a ton of new employees she can hire to fill her new factories they’ll build in Puerto Rico to create her knock-off products. Why not simply bulldoze the whole place and start fresh, build those Trump warehouses. Let’s ‘Make The Trumps Even Richer’ be the official tag line of the Trump Administration, not the ‘Make America Great’ lie of the century talking point they keep trying to sell.

For some reason I think its gonna turn out like most of Trump’s publicity stunts, when the reality of the rewards turn out to be peanuts on the dollar. Like when he touts a major corporation is gonna add tons of jobs and actually the deals for those jobs were done a few years earlier during the Obama Administration. So in reality Donald had nothing to do with it, but man ain’t it great publicity to pitch. God willing this con game turns out to actually work, and Trump was right and most of us were wrong, boy will I be happy to have been so wrong. Really, I know I preach to high heaven that the man’s a nightmare, even worse than Adolph, but please let me be wrong on this one. Because if I am right, man is it ever going to get bad and sooner than any of us could ever fear. What happens when it all turns out to be as big a crock as most people think? How do we pay for all that infrastructure that Donald promised would come next? Which is needed according to his experts for his tax plan to actually work. What happens to Social Security and Medicare if it succeeds and worse if or when it fails? Paul Ryan is practically drooling over the thought of hurting millions upon millions of people. Maybe we should rename him Josef Mengele, the grin on his face when he gaveled the victory in the House was vomit inducing.  

Someone or something needs to give Josef, I mean the Paul Ryan a swift kick in the ass. You see after the House voted ‘yes’ and tossed it over to the Senate for their own middle of the night vote, Paul Ryan actually said “nobody knows” if the sweeping tax cuts Congress are enacting will produce enough economic growth to fend off soaring federal deficits. Excuse me, then why are we gambling our futures on it? I can’t for the life of me remember any other Republican saying anything like “nobody knows” about this, till Paul made a hypocrite of himself. All we ever got were made up talking points of how great things will be. Of course with no actual figures to prove their hypostasis, we all just had to on faith. I mean with a track record that the Republicans have, sure, why shouldn’t I believe every word they say? Anytime any financial expert was on, listening to the Trumpeters wriggle around reality was really rather painful. Whenever there was a debate between both sides, not once did you come out of it believing the Trumpeters side. Not once. 

So if the tax cuts fail or even if they don’t and the gamble works, the republicans next game is to destroy our social safety net. After all, look at that huge deficit caused by the shortfall. That was to be expected wasn’t it? Oops did we not remember to tell you that? Anytime you implement a new policy, things are bond to be bumpy at first. Of course this shortfall, this ever growing debt that might swallow our nation whole, was never discussed when they were announcing the tax scam. Just like they did before with the Post Office and Social Security, borrowing funds to pay for other things, and then oops blaming the system thats breaking down, that they helped to destroy.  

Maddeningly Donald’s prayers were answered to a great degree by Mitch McConnell. Seem’s the Majority Leader of the Senate as usual used his now patented manner of going against precedent and won yet another round. This time, Mitch McConnell did it by not swearing in the recently victorious Doug Jones, in the Alabama Senator race. Not that it turned out to be needed, but Instead of giving him his rightful vote in Trump’s tax con, Mitch decided to push back the swearing in ceremony till after the new year. Which of course will be much too late to vote for or against this latest Republican monstrosity. I should mention that the Republicans are actually trying to play games with the Alabama election, apparently one of Moore’s supporters who helped bring people to the voting centers said something that the right says show that the Doug Jones camp cheated and Moore actually won. So who knows, in a few months Moore might still get in.   

Mitch played the same game with his filibuster against President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court appointee, and eventually won when Trump picked the newest member of the court once he became President. At the same time he was stopping Merrick Garland from being voted into the Supreme Court, he also was somehow forcing President Barack Obama from letting the American people learn the complete facts on Russia playing games with our democracy during the campaign. Seems if he had, Hillary’s accusation against Trump during the debates would have been believed as real and not just a campaign pitch. And our current political upheaval might just be the stuff of nightmares as opposed to our current reality.

Ray Moore’s defeat in Alabama is being looked at as a beginning of the end of Republican majority rule in the House and maybe even the Senate. That with those victories in less than a year, believe it or not, the people could vote in a new Democratic majority. They could actually vote out all the monsters and restore America to the greatness that President Barack Obama was taking us towards. Lets hope this week’s Republican declared tax victory, adds fuel to the fire that’s been lit under the rumps of the democrats in our nation. 

Almost a year in, and I still walk around dumbstruck that Trump is our sworn in leader and Hillary  is still more often attacked for not disappearing or worse for actually breathing. Everyday something new occurs that makes me ponder if this is all one of those bad dreams you can’t wake up from. But even if that happy notion was true, the way things have been going lately, when you finally think you’re awake at the end, sadly in our story line, the boogie man kills you dead just as the credits role or who get to relive the nightmare over and over again. Well I for one hope by this time next year, this current national nightmare is over. That somehow we as a nation can get over whatever hump Donald and his minions have constructed. And whomever is President when it all shakes out, actually once again makes me proud to be an American and not embarrassed to be living in a nation that somehow put such a person in charge. Sorry, the jokes still not funny.
