Sarah Huckabee Sanders, the White House replacement liar for Kellyanne Conway was on This Week trying to lie away the outlandish Trump accusation that Obama had bugged Trump Tower. Anyone with any brains knows this is Trump’s pathetic attempt to outflank the Russia story that many Democrats and a few Republicans hope will lead to impeachment. It is such a pathetic stab in the dark that it only makes Trump look more like a maniac than he does already. One can only watch in consternation as this fat, ill-mannered ape shits the floor of his cage and flings his feces about as the world watches laughs.
Of course Trump had zero proof of his ridiculous claim. It was motivated by his anger at those who are trying to link him with the Russians in order to get him out of office. So he lashes out with whatever comes to his vengeful, con man’s little mind. It must have been whispered in his ear by Steve Bannon, as it is widely known he doesn’t read. This blog is only surprised that he didn’t make the attack about child molestation. That’s more what runs through his pornographic mind.
But back to Sanders! This pathetic miscreant looks like a fool trying to defend Trump even as he has accused the former President of a crime. She doesn’t even acknowledge that the accusation was actually made, let alone that there is any evidence for it, yet she doubles down on this ridiculous charge, made by a raving madman that she has been sent out to protect. In trying to draw a parallel to the Russian investigation, Sanders doesn’t seem to understand that the investigation is being carried out by our intelligence agencies while the basis for Trump’s accusation is only in his warped imagination.
Sanders wants congress to investigate the brain-dead accusations by the mad President, about something that is so off the wall that it is ludicrous even to consider. She obviously feels that congress has nothing better to do than to waste their time on a stupid allegation by a madman trying to deflect a real accusation that could lead to his impeachment.
The Watergate story took almost two years to develop from the time of the first story in the Washington Post to Nixon’s resignation. The Russian story is going to take months and months and months to develop into something that could go into a court. The only way to diffuse the Russia story is for the Trump White House to move ahead and make its own agenda the news.
Trying to inject phony stories in the hope that someone won’t think he’s insane or a traitor just isn’t going to help Trump get out from under the Russians. He needs to accomplish stuff that will out-newsworthy the Russian stories and that something is all about jobs, infrastructure, taxes and immigration.

Trump’s latest maniacal ravings, the accusation that Obama had tapped Trump Tower only go to show that our President is operating on the emotional level of a four year old and an intellectual level only slightly higher. We all learn, at an early age, that we don’t accuse without proof and the insane babbling of a fanatic, Right wing radio host is anything but proof. Even more important for Trump is that his groundless accusations only make it look like he is indeed, deeply involved in a conspiracy with the Russians, exactly the opposite result of what he wanted.
If Trump had been possessed of the temperament to lead, the ability to get himself under control or the intelligence to do his homework, he would have known that neither he nor Obama have the ability to order surveillance of anyone without going to the FBI, who then must go to the Justice Department to request the tap. The whole program then moves to a Fisa court that who will look at the reason for the wiretap and decide whether or not to order it. If all this had happened, which according to FBI director James Comey, it did not, it would mean that the FBI had some significant information about Trump’s alliance with the Russians. This is exactly what Trump is trying to avoid by his accusation against Obama but it would do exactly the opposite. The man is a moron.
But where did Trump get the idea that this was in any way true? It started with Mark Levin raving to his infinitesimal audience of brain dead idiots about his conspiracy theories. This was followed by Breitbart news with a small mention of the Levin story that was in turn picked up by Fox news babbling about what Breitbart had said. Three fanatic Right Wing maniacs, all running off at the mouth about nothing, but saying exactly what our hair brained President thinks he wants to hear. A total Clusterfuck!

One of the biggest faults of the democratic system is that it is vulnerable to exactly what has just happened. There was a small chance of electing a completely incompetent President, one who has no idea how to do the job and one who has no interest in leading this country out of the swamp that he described in his own campaign.
Trump was the candidate of change. The people who voted for him had gotten sick f electing governments that did nothing for them, governments that took good care of themselves and their sponsors but cared nothing for the people who had gone to the polls and pressed the levers. So they elected a demagogue who said what they wanted to hear and promised that he would make an already great America, great again. They ignored that he was an obvious liar, an abuser of women, a con man and a thieving businessman because they wanted certain things from their government and he had promised to deliver them. In this they went for the promise, not the history or the reality of the man. And they went wrong again. They have elected an amateur, a clown, a liar and a man absolutely not up to the task. If we are lucky he won’t get us into a nuclear war. If we are lucky he won’t crash the economy. If we are lucky he won’t destroy the air and water and bring about a climate holocaust. That’s asking for an awful lot of luck and the chances of getting that much luck are slim to none. Donald Trump sits in the White House tweeting out lies and then not being able to back them up.

Watched Paul Ryan declare that the GOP is doing the American public an “ACT OF MERCY” by repealing the ACA and not having anything viable to replace it with. This lying scum refuses to realize or admit that the problem with the ACA is that the Republicans refused for seven years to fix what was a very fixable piece of legislation and simply because it had been passed by a black Democratic President tried unsuccessfully to repeal it over fifty times.
Ryan’s right. If we don’t do something about the ACA it will fail because of its economics. Repealing it isn’t doing something about it. It’s too bad that he hasn’t yet learned to understand English. There’s only one thing that can save the ACA and give this country a successful healthcare system that will take health worries off he table for all Americans. That solution is single payer, but the GOP has neither the stomach nor the morality to do that. Such a move will take away the paychecks from the insurance companies, the same companies that right now are gutting the system and getting rich on your healthcare. The GOP waves the banner of small government. Okay let’s make the government smaller. Let’s get this asshole, Ryan, out of office before he kills healthcare for millions of Americans.

This nation likes to refer to the idea that this is a Christian country. Americans, mostly on the Right, love to tell us how Godless those with different lifestyles are or how certain religions like Muslims don’t hear the word of God and must be excluded. But none of these Christians seem to remember the word of God when it comes to things like helping those who are not as well off as they are. It seems to me that Jesus Christ had a hell of a lot to say about taking care of the poor and the sick. Jokers like Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell, Mike Pence and any number of other GOP leaders who love to spout their love of God and how they live their lives by CHRISTIAN principles seem to forget all that when it comes to figuring out a way to help those in need, especially when it means that they won’t get the bribes from the insurance companies or the companies that don’t pay a living wage, but allow them to afford a second yacht.
It’s absolutely nauseating to listen to this human offal preach about Christian values and then watch how they treat the poor in their legislation. Health care is a human necessity. So are a proper education and a job with a living wage. Even more important is a planet on which to live, that allows us to breath the air and drink the water, a planet that will not burn up because we refuse to recognize that fossil fuels will be the cause of human catastrophe.

So you’ve all heard the Manchurian Candidate silliness regarding Trump’s Presidency. Of course, we all have. Well, maybe it’s not so silly after all. Take a look.
Trump appointee, Rex Tillerson has taken over as Secretary of State, the department tasked with running American interests all over the world. To be accurate the Department that actually runs the world. So Tillerson steps into the job and the first thing he does is start firing State Dept. employees. Now these are not political appointments from Obama. These are the brains and memory of American diplomacy for the last forty or fifty years. The first to go were the four top diplomatic officials representing about 50 years of cumulative experience. Since then, most of the other experienced State Dept. employees have been fired. So we have a President with no governmental experience and a Secretary of State with no governmental experience getting rid of everyone at State with any experience while the President’s new budget will cut State by 37%.
Meanwhile over in Russia, Putin is dancing on the bodies of all his enemies. His biggest rival in the world is self-destroying its own ability to run the world. He couldn’t have planned it better himself. Or did he?
At his recent two photo ops with the press in attendance Tillerson stood mute before the reporters questions, smiling idiotically but saying northing, answering no questions until the reporters were forced out of the room. Does the White House actually want us to believe that Rex Tillerson gave up running the biggest corporation in the world to be the mute dummy for a government agency that is being phased out? You really believe that? Before Trump was elected he had never met Tillerson. Tillerson was the American that was probably best aquainted with Putin. They have met numerous times and Tillerson as been decorated by e Russian government.
So Trump hands the job f running the department that has been most in opposition to Russia, to this guy he has never met but who actually knows Putin better than he does. Nothing suspicious there! Or is there? Steve Bannon comes out with the Breitbart philosophy of breaking down our system of government. Trump appoints Tillerson who seems to be destroying the State Dept. After watching most of Trump’s moves so far one would think that if he were a toy of the Russians they had over paid for him but his systematic destruction of State, the most significant foreign policy arm of our government has the absolute look of a foreign motivated coup. This is not some party policy nonsense. This is out of Breitbart by Putin. Has Vlad set down a bed of coals so his orange bear can dance for the world?
