Trump’s Treason

Trump  must be impeached immediately. His attempted coup has failed. We have heard him float suggestions will declare martial law. We must make sure that we short circuit Trump’s attempts to destroy democracy.

Unlike Trump’s unfounded claims of voter fraud which were not supported by any evidence evidence of Trump’s muyoltiple crimes are in plain site and fixed in hard proof. 

Trump has egged on his supporters to be violent and has refused to condem their actions even when called upon by fellow republicans.

Trump must be impeached immediately before he is can create more damage. Did you see some of the damage caused by Trump’s rioters where the went through desks,  smashed windows, smashed doors, removed Congressional papers from desks and threw them all around the offices?

Would you want Trump’s hand to have any control over the nuclear weapons or military where he could cause more damage and chaos not only here in the United States but around the world.

Death Panels are Real

Death panels are real. Trump and the GOP yesterday were celebrating the potential deaths of 20-40 thousand Americans per year that were estimated to die each year because of the passage of Trumpcare. You probably saw the newsfeeds from the Rosegarden where Republicans were slapping each other on the back, cheering and celebrating the passage of Trumpcare. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that 24 million Americans would lose their healthcare under the earlier failed version of Trumpcare. It didn't matter that millions of Americans were worried and had concerns.

In their rush to jam the bill down the throats of Americans they did not even wait for a review before they took the vote. They knew the only way to get this past even members of their own party was by hiding the facts and through stealth and speed. The memory of how the tide turned against the 1st Failed Trumpcare bill after the Congressional Budget Office came out showing that 24 million Americans would lose their health care was fresh in Republicans' memory. Trump and the Republicans didn't want to risk telling the American people what they really were going to lose.

Remember these cuts are being made to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Because that is really who the Republican party supports. The GOP party doesn't stand for Grand Old Party - the party representing you and me. GOP really stands for Guardians of Privilege.

Trump Wins New World Title


The video clip above is from the Daily Show. It's funny with enough truth to scare anyone - watch it!

With the meager showing of people who actually were there for Trump's inauguration Trump clinched the title of "The World's Biggest Loser." Among the qualifications that netted him this title, of which he is hugely proud, was his 3 million vote loss to Hillary Clinton in the popular vote.

This comes on the back of his second win - that of World's Biggest Liar. You may have heard the lawyer joke (and I am not disparaging lawyers):

How can you tell if a lawyer is lying?

Answer:
His lips are moving.

Trump beat even the lawyers and used car salesmen for this coveted award. I don't need to remind you that Trump is hugely proud of this award. In accepting this award he said to the crowd -I'm huge, really huuuge. The new version of this joke is:

How can you tell if Trump is Lying?

Answer:

His lips are moving

Trump and his minions immediately went on a rampage against the media claiming they were falsifying the facts. The only problem for Donald is they weren't. Aerial photos comparing the crowds for the inauguration of Obama and Trump show how few people actually showed up for Trumps inauguration.

The side be side photo of the two inaugurations show the story:

Paltry Trump Inaugural-claims-versus-the-evidence

Coming soon will be the comparison between Trump's inaugural crowd and the Women's march today.

GOP and Trump Take Another Step Towards Dictatorship and Against Democracy

In a furtive dead of the night type attack against US Democracy the House G.O.P. Votes to Gut an Office Reviewing Ethics. This was done suddenly, without any public debate. Why? Because the stink from the GOP action would alert the public to the GOP's cynical move in its own self interest. Make no mistake about this. It was not done for any other reason than to prevent the office from doing what it was tasked to do - Investigate ethics charges against house members.

It is especially highly hypocritical for the GOP and Trump who voted on a promise to "Drain the Swamp" in Washington that Trump said were filled with bankers, Wall Street, and lobbyists. What we are finding out is that Trunp and the GOP are not interested in draining the swamp to reduce banker,Wall Street, big money, and lobbyist influence. What they are interested in is draining the swamp and building a bigger and better impenetrable GOP controlled swamp. A swamp in which no one, no news organization can look inside, investigate or even question. The only reason I can think of for the GOP rushing this through is that they are all scared to death that investigations into Trump's possible ethical conflicts might uncover some House GOP ethics violations. You never know, when lifting up rocks in the swamp, what you will find underneath.

In the new GOP Controlled world Truth will be what the GOP and Trump says it is. No Debate Allowed.

All hail the Trump and GOP new ethics standard of “truthful hyperbole.”
as the NY Times article Donald Trump’s Deals Rely on Being Creative With the Truthwent on to say :
"Indeed, based on the mountain of court records churned out over the span of Mr. Trump’s career, it is hard to find a project he touched that did not produce allegations of broken promises, blatant lies or outright fraud."

This was another strike against democracy and for G.O.P. self interests.

This is especially troubling given Trump's refusal to release his tax concerns. It is especially troubling considering Trump's many potential ethical conflicts due to his wide ranging business connections. It is especially troubling given recommendation of ethics experts that he should either divest himself of all his businesses or put them into a true blind trust, not some fiction run by his chiidren. Why did they feel they had to rush this through?Could it be that the House GOP Republicans are scared to death that investigations of Trump's ethical conflicts might turn up some House GOP ethical conflict. You never know what you will uncover when lifting up rocks in the swamp and bringing things to light that some people might prerfer to remain hidden.

The first thing that will be banned in the new "ethics free" house by the GOP will be the word ETHICS. In their stealth move the first thing they changed was the name of the committe to remove the word ethics.

Nancy Pelosi released a statement quoted by National Public Radio,
"Republicans claim they want to 'drain the swamp,' but the night before the new Congress gets sworn in, the House GOP has eliminated the only independent ethics oversight of their actions," she wrote. "Evidently, ethics are the first casualty of the new Republican Congress."

The GOP takes another swipe at democracy and another takes another step towards dictatorship. I think all US citizens and politicians, both GOP and Democracy will tell you that one of the things that distinguishes our democracy from dictatorships is that our politicians can be investigated by non partisan independent government agencies.

Read the full New York Times front page article:
Without Warning House GOP Guts Office Reviewing Ethics

And from NPR the News Organization US Citizens voted the most Trustworthy source of News in the US:
House G.O.P. Votes To Strip Independence from Congressional Ethics Office

The NPR Article goes on to say:
"The language approved Monday night, authored by Rep. Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., would prevent staff from making public statements independent of the House Ethics Committee and prevents it from investigating anonymous tips.

So along with banning Ethics the GOP wants to ban free speech.

When I expressed surprise that the GOP would go to these lengths to attack democracy my friend reminded me. He said you know what GOP stands for don't you. It stands for G.uardians O.F P.rivilege
