Pence is No Diplomat, What is Jared Hiding?,

Mike Pence went to the Olympics and sat a few feet away from the sister of North Korea's  dictator, ignoring her existence. He did his best to imitate a butter sculpture. I haven't come up with a metaphor for his hair, which seems painted on his head like toothpaste... It was an undiplomatic dickish move, typical for someone who has spent half of their life freezing out people with whom he disagrees, not a very Christian thing to do... He didn't attend a dinner hosted by the South Korean Prime Minister, and avoided any other social affair where the two might rub noses. Ironically, Mike agreed to hand out some medals and had to give one to a North Korean athlete, I'm told that he didn't look him in the eye...

I never thought in a million years that I'd end up agreeing with Amarosa. She is participating in the new Celebrity Big Brother on television, and giving away gossipy tidbits of her impressions while working in the Trump White House. Her latest revelation is that we would be begging to have Trump back as president, if Mike Pence ended up with the top job. To paraphrase: He thinks that Jesus directly tells him things to say, revealing a more intimate relationship than a healthy human should have. It's clear enough that Mike has no morals, that he's a Christian in name only, besides, it's tough for him to think and speak clearly acting as Donald Trump's fluffer every day...



It's becoming an every day occurrence, someone from the Trump administration has to resign, or
another Congressman decides to retire and not run for re-election this November. And yet, because of gerrymandered districts, few Democrats may actually win...

The latest to depart is Rob Porter, who has been working with a temporary classified clearance. The FBI let the Trump administration that he probably would never have gotten a permanent clearance due to the allegations of domestic abuse from both of his ex-wives, backed up with police reports and photos of black eyes. Which makes one wonder, since Jared Kushner is also working with a temporary security clearance, what is it that is preventing the FBI from giving him a permanent one? And would that also extend to Ivanka? We know that the Trump family has used Russian money to finance projects since American banks won't loan to him because of his multiple filings for bankruptcy, and laundering money through real estate sales, how much does Jared Kushner tie into this or has he developed his own bad habits trying to support his felon of a father...?

Clapping With a Pair of Small, Treasonous Hands

Just a few quick tidbits with pictures: go Tesla!

Ground control to Major Tom...

Kim Jong-in has a sister, who knew? She is planning on attending the Winter Olympics with 200 cheerleaders for North Korea. I wonder, if someone gave her a pink pussy hat, would she wear it? She'll be sitting near Michael Pence, if we gave it to him, can we trust him to hand it to her without making some kind of weird scene?

A conservative gun owners association has been drinking too much kool aid. They are asserting that Liberals have been staging  school shootings and murders across the country just to get anti-gun control and ownership laws written and passed...

Because Donald Trump clapped for himself during his State of the Union Speech... Then he accused the grumpy Democrats of treason because they didn't go along and clap for him. He is now equating America with himself, like some two year old walking around and saying "MINE!"

And now he is telling the Pentagon that he wants a military parade better than France, Russia, or China... don't worry, the Pentagon will screw this up like every other military affair planned by Generals. Look at the newly unveiled racist and fascistic John Kelly, who kept an aide, Rob Porter, around even after knowing for months that he was an alleged domestic abuser. Even after photos from one ex-wife showing her with a black eye and bruises on her face, both John Kelly and Orrin Hatch testified to what a good man they believed him to be... and Mr. Porter has been working for a year without the proper security clearance because the FBI wouldn't give him one based on the testimony from his ex-wives...

We've been setting such a poor example of what a democracy can be that many countries are reverting back into dictatorships. Soon, the most democratic country will be Iran...

Dear Donald, Since you seem fixated on your standing ovations, constantly bragging about how many O's you receive, I got your next one right here:

Trump and Arpaio, Trump and Ivanka, The Next Wave of Pink Pussys

So, I was watching the Superbowl with my next-door neighbors, when I had a horrible thought: what if Donald Trump fires either the head of the FBI again, or the Assistant DA and replaces them with Arizona's Golden Belly, Joe Arpaio. Then, he and Jeff Sessions could fight over who can be the most anti-immigration in thought and deed, perhaps have a cage match to see who gets to be first in line to suck on Donald's pecker ( thanks again, Bill Hicks )... Flaunt a federal law is no problem, we can always get pardoned again... Ours is truly a dying democracy.

There are over 390 women running for Congress and state offices this year, almost all of them liberal and anti-Donald Trump... he who was the inspiration for the women's marches, with his piggish comments on grabbing them pussies... If you hang out in any large corporate boardroom or private club, you will hear this kind of coarse language as a matter of course, the mutterings from those nabobs of negativity... If all of those women were elected, and they all went to Congress to fill the floor of the House and Senate, and the galleries wearing their pink pussy hats, would it send a message plain enough so that Donald Trump could understand What's Goin' On... 

It's also time to start a few more political parties to replace the dysfunctional Republican Party, whose members have cravenly sold their souls and discarded such baubles like morals and a sense of decency, replacing them with nothing but meanness...

Speaking of trolls, I was browsing the internet for pictures that I could use, when I came across some disturbing ones involving Donald Trump and a teenage Ivanka. Is it just my feeble imagination, or is this father-daughter bond one toke over the line? Perhaps she is his favorite daughter because she gave him a lap-dance and engaged in other inappropriate behavior. I just can't see why Evangelicals give this guy a free pass, Mike Pence being the worst of them along with Tony Perkins...

New News-Links and New Attitude

I have been revising the news links, trying to add some interesting ones from around the world. Now, where else can you link to the Afghanistan Times? I will add and subtract according to the amount of good analysis I find...

From South Africa came the report that Lebanon will officially look more to Russia for help, not Iran or Hezbollah. It is in direct retaliation to the hostility growing between Lebanon and Israel, with Israel threatening to invade at any moment, and the US landing ground troops in Israel...

From Tehran came the news that Israel sent some jets to Gaza, while sending ground troops to the West Bank, looks like there's gonna be another fight... Neither stories have been reported in the US or Israeli newspapers yet, so either they don't find this very important, or the Israelis have decided to round up all of the Palestinians and deport the ones they don't kill... 😞

I also will try to post a lot more often and not take weeks or months off, discouraging whatever readership I once had. I thank the few who have read the past couple of posts, feel free to comment and start a dialogue, I will answer back. I don't have a staff or stable of writers, it's just me sitting in my living-room, typing on my tablet... Of course, times are changing, written blogs are falling by the wayside, and video blogs uploaded to Youtube seem to be the rage. The closest I came to that was exploring what it would take to do a podcast, but retirement finances soon put an end to those silly fantasies... I do enjoy watching videos uploaded to YouTube, but I usually end up watching Russian car crash videos, where everyone seems to have a camera on their dashboard, and drive around incredibly drunk... 👀

State of the Union was a Little Trashy, Given by the President's Proxy

Did you watch Donald Trump's State of the Union speech? Otherwise known as Stephen Miller's Coming Out Party... Stephen is one of Donald's speech writers, and is usually behind the vitriolic and anti-immigration stances that our President is so fond of. Stephen grew up in the Peoples Republic of Santa Monica, and was bullied throughout his school years, giving him a sheen of hostility to all things liberal. He has been jockeying for greater influence behind the throne ever since Steve Bannon left to drink himself to death...

Donald stuck to the script and read from the teleprompter and gave a workman-like performance, keeping within the framework of past State of the Union speeches. For the first half...

The second half was devoted to immigration, making promises that he probably won't keep, hey I never said that, and also promising to round up some street gang, which will give Jeff Sessions another way to suck up to the prez... Every few minutes throughout the speech, there was a humanitarian break, where Donald would introduce someone who risked their lives to help combat a natural disaster, which was actually very nice. Until he introduced a grieving black family, who's two daughters were murdered by the street gang MS-13, and it became uncomfortable watching the pain on their faces just so Donald could make some brownie points with his imaginary black or Latino base voters...

The other person who has been making appearances and making utterances for the White House, is

John Kelly. He is supposed to keep a low profile, but he is another anti-immigration advocate, and if Donald is going to be wishy washy about the fate of the Dreamers, then John and Stephen will step in to fill the void for the media. When he first took the job as Chief of Staff, he was complemented for bringing some order to the chaos among the staffers. But now he's demonstrating why Admirals and Generals make bad politicians: because they aren't very smart and they are used to everyone doing whatever they say without questioning...

A story that hasn't been reported yet in the US, but will have major impact throughout the world, is China has decided to stop taking in trash from other countries, beginning right now. They had been taking 80% of the trash produced by some countries, and has already caused a major build up in places like Ireland. Look to some poor country being invaded just so it can be transformed into the world's next landfill...

We already have huge amounts of trash floating in our oceans, one pile in the Pacific is larger than the state of Texas, and nobody is doing much more than monitoring the situation. So, civilization may come to an end, not by fire or ice, but from being buried under the tons of waste we produce every day...

Lastly FEMA has announced that it will no longer deliver humanitarian aid like food and fresh water to Puerto Rico, they will have to live on the paper towels that Donald Trump gave them. Perhaps, after we have let all of the people on the island die off, we can use it for our next trash landfill...

It's Too Early to Rant on Trump, Waiting for the Coffee to Kick In...

It's five a.m. and I just let the cat out to find his favorite bushes... he's been getting more vocal the older he gets and must be obeyed, so I'm trying to clear my vision while sipping on my first cup of coffee. Mornings are when I like to check up on various news sites to get different perspectives on world events... So many websites that I used to go to for information are no longer around, and I haven't found anyplace insightful to add a conspiracy theory or two. No more listings of late night jokes... Often, I will read the news and try to find something I want to say, only to find it reported on MSNBC or other nightly news shows. I guess I am becoming more mainstream the older I get. The most depressing tidbit is knowing that Vladimir Putin and I are the same age...

Every time that Donald Trump leaves the country, all of the pundits, politicos, and Democrats relax a bit, take in deep lung-fulls of air, even though they are still ridiculed each day by the Queen of Mean, Sarah Sanders... Perhaps we could send Donald someplace outdoors to play every three months, take a tour of some Trump property or golf course. The cruelest irony would not to let him back in: I'm sorry, sir, but your visa is on our watch list for firing James Comey... try climbing over that wall over there...

The upshot of the Russian investigations will be that yes, Trump tried to influence and obstruct, but he will not be impeached. Over 240 members of his campaign, transition team, and White House staff had interactions with Russians with ties to intelligence or to the Kremlin, but there was no knowing collusion except for Paul Manafort and Jared Kushner... and no, Ivanka, you can't run for President on the Barbie platform... Donald has laundered Russian mob money for over 20 years, but that's normal business practice among New York real estate developers...

Everyone keeps complaining about Trump's mental condition, but nobody has checked him out for

venereal disease, did Stormy have syphilis? He has lived his whole life without developing any self-restraint, and now throws temper tantrums if he doesn't get what he wants, instant gratification. And it gets worse as he grows older or is under stress. We already know about his illiteracy and shortened attention span, hypersensitivity to any perceived slights to his vanity and ego. Mix this all up into the form of a natural bully, and you get a person who keeps asking, "Where's my Roy Cohn?"

I know that Melania never envisioned the shithole wing of the White House she has found herself living in, and I find that I have more sympathy for her situation. She is still more liberal than her hubby, and though she plagerized Michelle Obama, it was because she had respect for her, she just didn't have the talent to pull it off. Her son Barron is a shy kid who has no friends other than adults, and has been ignored by his father for the past 11 years. Donald is at least consistent when it comes to parenting...

The best solution other than impeaching Trump and having Mike Pence resign along with his whole Cabinet of Dunces, is to take away any real power he has. Then, Donald can tweet and rant and offend whomever he wants to, with the results being fodder for late night comedy shows. More than 30 Republican Congressmen will not run for re-election this year, making the coming elections a real trial to the gerrymandered districts...

Donald Trump is the Antichrist, and Roy Moore is His Minion

It's sad when you think about it, if you have a moral compass at all, this stubborn endorsement by Donald Trump for Roy Moore, and Roy Moore's forsaking all Christian beliefs in his bid for Congressional power. Just shows how much the temptation of power is abusive, the way that a 32 year old man can troll the malls in search of teenage girls and abuse their trust in order to cop a feel... In this way Donald and Roy are kindred anti-souls... Ok, ok, so maybe a thousand other blog posts made this allusion before I did, drawing out the parallels or pitfalls at much greater lengths than I ever could, but I also don't take any of it as seriously...

Trump's legacy began with George W Bush, who thought (or those around him did) that he was initiating Armageddon by going into Iraq and Afghanistan, thereby creating ISIS and the rise of autocratic states in Turkey, Egypt, and Israel. Many thought that Barack Obama would then be the Antichrist, but we all know that the Antichrist would never register as a Democrat...

That task has befallen upon an outsider, someone who is neither Democrat, or really, Republican. Behold, a Pale Golfer... Someone who is gullible enough to do what an old alcoholic named Bannon tells him to do to destroy the United States from within, and be elected with help from the Russian state. As an aside, if Steve Bannon and Dick Cheney went out to lunch together, which one would creep Melania out first...

All I ask is that when Donald is impeached he takes the false Christians Roy Moore and Mike Pence

with him, along with those horrible cabinet choices that only a senile old man could make... But, if Donald fills out his term, the Republican party will have imploded, and one can only guess how many Grand Old Parties will rise to take its place.



We need to have a major overhaul of Congress, My suggestions are:

No-one over seventy is allowed to remain in Congress.

All members of Congress are to have one health plan, and that is Obamacare.

In order to run for any elected position, you have to pass a few competency tests. These include the ability to read, comprehend what you are reading, and have the ability to write clearly. You must also pass a citizenship test similar to what an immigrant takes to receive US citizenship.
