Trump again colludes

Donald Trump pressured the government of Ukraine to find or manufacture dirt on the son of former VP Joe Biden in an attempt to interfere with the United States Presidential election. This sort of thing is a crime, as well as a major ethical issue.

Looking for collusion? Well, there it is.

There's no spinning it

Jared Yates Sexton breaks down the Mueller Report 
Via Twitter.

There’s no defending this. There’s no spinning it. There’s no rebuttal that can put this away. This is a massive and unbelievable crime on a scale before unseen. We need to get rid of the Trump Presidency before it destroys us, before it rots us from the inside out. 35/

Trump is a fireman!

My friend Terry Doss went sort of viral today when he mocked Donald Trump on the twitter. 

You should check him out and give him a follow. 

Democrats support your freedom. Republicans want to take it away from you

The Democratic Party should take this to heart. The party should make economic freedom a central part of the platform for 2020 and beyond.

Brett Kavanaugh

Is Brett Kavanaugh  a rapist?

It seems possible. At least one woman is reporting that he held her down and assaulted her.

The New Yorker has more

Ronan Farrow is cementing his cred as an investigative journalist.

This is your Republican party Continued

Bigfoot Erotica? Yes, Bigfoot Erotica! But also, Nazis, Neo-Confederates and goons. This is what it has come to, folks.

Russian Nesting Doll seems like too obvious as a metaphor . . .

I have been saying (here and elsewhere) for quite some time that the GOP as a whole is at least complicit in the Russian program to subvert and undermine American Democracy. There are obvious moles (Dana Rohrbacher, anyone?) within the Republican Party, to be sure. But now it looks like the entire structure of the GOP may be wholly owned by Putin and his cronies.

I'm not alone in seeing this

Gambling addict on SCOTUS?

Everyone buried the lede on this. That Brett Kavanaugh racked up a quarter million dollars in credit card debt isn't the important part. That the White House claims he did so buying baseball tickets, while strange, is not the important part. The important part is a question and that question is:

Who paid off Brett Kavanaugh's gambling debt and why?

Kavanaugh's Debt

Ladies and Gentlemen, This is Your Republican Party!

Today's Republican Party is BOLD, FRESH, EXCITING . . . CORRUPT, RACIST, ANTI-AMERICAN.  It is truly a "Big Tent". It encompasses Holocaust deniers, and Neo-Confederates, and Nazis, and Russian Stooges and people who cover up child molestation.

The party even has room for serial abusers, conspiracy nuts and Paul Ryan.

Truly a big tent!

Wife Beating

Sexual harrassment

Texas

Well, we all know that there is no way to prevent this. 

Another school shooting, this time in Texas.

Roy Moore

Not really surprised that Roy Moore is a kiddie diddler. I always expect it from the overly pious sorts. Anyway, Senate Candidate Roy Moore, everyone.

The End of America

Historians of the future may well ask when American democracy ended. The answer that they are likely to settle on is that democracy ended when one party refused to debate or vote on a Supreme Court nominee simply because he was chosen by a president of the other party. That was the moment when Republicans finally fully signaled that they had no belief in American democracy, its norms or processes. That was the moment when it became clear that their agenda was to dismantle the United States by any means necessary.

Pence Christ sounds like gay christian porn

I'm just sayin'. It really does.

This site is amazing.

Dr. StrangeTrump

So Donnie promises that any threat from North Korea will be met with "Fire and Fury".

So, here we go. Trump is going to start a fucking nuclear war. Don't say I didn't warn you, kiddo.

I do have to wonder of this is what Putin had in mind. Seems like this sort of destabilization creates a chance for Russia to step in and expand their power and influence.

It's Russians all the way down . . .

The mess that Donald Trump has gotten this nation into isn't his mess alone. Mitch the Turtle was in on it. It seems that Paul Ryan may have been complicit as well. The Entire Republican party was complicit - they allowed themselves to be hijacked by a foreign nation in service of carrying out their odious agenda. The GOP has betrayed our nation.

This must not stand.

All current Republican members of the House and Senate must leave office. Trump and pence must leave office. We must reset by holding a new election in which these miscreants are barred from competing. Then and only then can Americans trust their government again.

The Big Damn Pause Button

Today we have smoking gun PROOF of Trump campaign collusion with Russia to throw the Presidential election and steal the Presidency. Congress must stop. We have an illegitimate government. It appears that the corruption may also involve current members of the Senate and House. Government must pause until this is resolved.

Contact your congressperson and your senator. Tell them that you want to no bills consider, no laws passed, no votes taken, nothing done until our Democracy has been restored.

President Zuck?

Is Mark Zuckerberg running for President in 2020? His planned tour of all 50 states has to be a sign of something. Then, here he is staking a claim to Universal basic Income at harvard. This seems like the sort of bold move one would expect if he was planning to challenge our current orange plutocrat for the White House.

The issue is that beyond of few areas no one knows what the Facebook Guru believes.

Gianforte, another GOP Thug

Greg Gianforte Assaulted a reporter from The Guardian. Montana politics normally isn't this insane, but this does seem to be where today's GOP is heading.
Alana Levinson of Buzzfeed witnessed it. Gianforte's office is lying about it, because of course they are.

Manafort

Paul Manafort was paid millions of dollars to be an agent for Vladimir Putin. That's the same Paul manafort that ran the Trump presidential campaign. So Flynn, Sessions and Manafort all work for the Russians.

Move along. Nothing to see here.

Russina Stooge

Jeff Sessions committed perjury in service to his Russian Masters.

One wonders at this point if there is anyone connected with the tRump white house that isn't a Russian stooge.
