The Poser Prez abandons the Kurds in Syria

Yes, he did. After--and how shocking, how unprecedented is this--after a phone convo with Turkish stong man Tayyip Erdogan.

The sad truth is this: America is saddled with a thuggish, know-nothing, incompetent scum-bag for a President.

And his obvious incompetence is making America weaker and further undermining our standing in the world.

Again.

Donald tRump couldn't read a petition before the next meeting of the Poughkeepsie City Council without fucking it up.

So it goes without saying that he should never have been entrusted with the highest office in the Land.

His abandoning our Kurdish allies to please Erdogan is quite possibly his greatest blunder in carrying out America's Foreign Policy so far.

And there's a lot more where that came from.

This fool, this poser, this fellator of dictators must be removed from office.

America waits.

Right Wing Thugs and Militias are listening closely

Donald trump incites his followers to violence.

And he does it on a regular basis.

Here's the simple truth: Dolt 45's lies could very well set in motion a chain of events which could finally unleash the Right wing death squads who've been itching for a reason to start cleansing the Country from bad, unpatriotic Americans.

That is, cleanse the Country from liberals, Democrats other people they hate and regularly marginalize.

An recent article here from Daily Kos site is fascinating--in a very dark way--and lays out clearly just how serious a threat impending Right wing violence truly is.

These thuggish Americans are for real.

And they must be taken seriously.

If you're having a hard time wrapping your mind around this, don't just stick your head in the sand.

We've got to keep our eye on this and be ready.

Your survival and the survival of our Nation may well depend on it.

The true beginning of Fall

I think you know that the beginning of Autumn falls each year around the third week in September.

It does. But for me, I really feel like it's Fall when the 1st of October comes around.

So many good things happen at this time of year: the temps begin to moderate, we begin to pay close attention to football. Not to mention the start of the Major League playoffs.

We start to feel a sense of anticipation about all the holidays which we know are just around the corner.

There are many more good things I could mention here. The list is pretty long.

The bottom line is that I truly do love and take great delight in this time of year.

And I sincerely hope that Autumn brings a lot of wonderful things to you and yours.

Yes, trump would try to enlist a foreign government to...

Now that more facts are in, here's a brief follow-up to my last post:


To the surprise of no one, trump would--and did--try to enlist the help of a foreign government in his efforts to get a second term.

Because every day brings a fresh outrage, it's easy to think that Ukraine Gate is just the latest trump transgression and that it will blow over.

I don't think so.

I will admit that it's a bit too early to see how this will go.

It's a big and multi-faceted affair.

But it very well could be trump's undoing. Don't think that it can't.

If you'd like to get up-to-date on the latest, this article from NPR would be a good place to start.

Trump and the fresh whistle blower outrage

So let's see a show of hands of everyone who's surprised about the latest outrage from Mango Mussolini.

You know, whole thing about a whistle blower coming forward and revealing that the squatter in our White House made some kind of dangerous, inappropriate promise to some foreign leader in a phone call...

Yeah, that outrage!

What! No one's raising their hand?!

Yeah, that's what I thought.

When he comes up with this crap, we do get outraged but then admit that it's just the kind of thing he does pretty much on a daily basis.

And he gets away with it every time.

Yes, this time could be different.

But don't bet the ranch on that.

Only Congress can put a stop to this madness.

But I'm not at all sure that they ever will. Or ever could.

The Senate--where the GOP holds a slim majority--will never turn on trump. Especially with #MoscowMitch in charge.

So on we go.

How many fresh outrages can this once-great Nation take?

I guess we're going to find out.

The Poser Prez steals from our military to...

Here's the latest story from our "Shocked But Not Surprised" file: our #LyingLoserPrez has found a way--with plenty of help from his sycophantic, complicit Rethuglican friends--to divert funding for military projects to build a few more miles of his expensive and ineffective wall.

There is no way that congress would have ever enabled this political stunt if anyone else was in the Oval Office.

No one else who's ever been--or would ever be--President would ever have considered or proposed such a folly, but I won't go there right now.

To get up-to-speed on this latest outrage from the hateful and incompetent fool who is occupying our White House, just click on this article.

It's Labor Day and you should...

It most certainly is Labor Day and you should take life easy today!

I'm off and I hope you're not having to put in your eight hours today.

If you'd like to know a bit more about the history of this auspicious holiday, just follow this link.

I'm so aware that we have some time today to just chill and maybe fire up the barbie because of the sacrifices of so many workers before us.

I do not--and never will--take that for granted.

Enjoy the day and take a moment to reflect on the importance of remembering that the working people in this country are one of the main reasons that America is great.

Best wishes to all of you who may pass your eyes over this post today.

Especially those of you who work for that paycheck.
