Cowards of Washington

So they come up with a bill that angers Liberals, Moderates, and the far right and now are afraid to bring it up for a vote.

You got to love the Republicans. We're going to lose so we'll just take our ball and go home.

To bad for them they're supposedly in charge now and can't have the 8 year tantrum they had during the Obama years.

And another thing I keep hearing is how moderate Republicans don't want to touch this bill. I'm wondering who these moderate Republicans are. Because in 2010 they got thrown out of the party. The only ones left are the insane ones.

Republicans that I liked included Arlen Specter and Olympia Snowe. But sane people like those don't exist anymore. Replaced by right wing nuts and for the Democrats left wing nuts like Bernie Sanders and Nancy Pelosi.

When Paul Ryan is called a moderate, you know the party has gone looney tunes.

Arkansas to allow concealed weapons at sporting events

Arkansas has decided to pass a law that allows the carrying of firearms at sporting events. This is a brilliant move.

Emotions high.

The official just made a bad call... bang. So much for that official.

Hey how dare you root for the opposing team!... bang...

You just spilled beer down my back!.. bang

Stop standing up in front of me! ... bang

This is great! Just like giving the mentally ill the right to purchase firearms. Makes absolute sense.

What could go wrong?

Hey I think we should pass a law to allow carrying of firearms at political rallies. And there should be no security guards. And no criminal charges if there's an accidental shooting of a corrupt politician.

What could go wrong?

Trump's threat to the No voters

So Trump thinks that any Republican that doesn't support the new Health Care Bill, or really the return to 2007 bill, will not have their seats after the 2018 midterms.

I think he's got it wrong. Any Republican that votes for this bill should be shown the door in the 2018 midterms. As should any Democrat that decides to support it.

There is nothing good about the bill.

Its the classic Republican position, that they got theirs so everyone else should just take a hike. Of course the Democrat position is, let's smother everyone with concern so they have no freedoms to do anything that might be harmful. Ie. forcing people to pay for health insurance. Banning cigarettes in public. Trying to tax soda pop out of existence, ect ect...

Health care should be just like the police and the fire department. Emergency medical treatment should be provided to those who need it. Colds and sniffles go to your regular doctor and pay. Anyone that goes to the hospital who doesn't need emergency care should be directed to their doctor.

BUt that will never happen.

Not with the representatives we have now...

Actually if it were up to me every single one of the people in Washington would be shown the door in the 2018 midterms. And replace them with actual sane people that want to do what is best for the country instead of what is best for the party.

There should be no Paul Ryan, no Nancy Pelosi, no... They are all lousy representatives. They represent no one but the Parties.

Unbelievable childishness

First there was the book offered on Amazon with a title: Reasons to vote Democrat A comprehensive Guide. It was two hundred and some blank pages. I can't believe that Amazon would allow such a complete scam to be allowed on their site. And it also showed to me just how absolutely pathetic Republicans are.

But not to be outdone and showing the great creativity of Democrats, we now have at least seven books on the reasons to vote Republican.

Book 1 Book 2 Book 3 Book 4 Book 5 Book 6 Book 7

Who wants to guess that they are the same thing? A bunch of blank pages. It is so childish. And Amazon should be ashamed that they are allowing themselves to be used like this.

I find absolutely no humor in this at all. And I think all of these authors should be brought up on scamming charges for selling blank pages to customers expecting a book. And I have the same opinion on the book from the 60s or whatever decade that people are comparing this crap too.

And they like the previous book showed Republicans, shows just how absolutely pathetic Democrats are. I hate both parties as they both move further and further from the center and look forward to the day both go the way of the dodo bird.

And anyone that gives this crap good reviews also should have their reviews all deleted for anything they have ever reviewed and never be allowed to submit another.

Trumps 2005 Tax Return

Isn't it amazing how when the President needs a distraction from the fiasco that was his wiretapping claim that a 2005 Income Tax form that was stamped "Client's Copy" suddenly appears in the news? Client's copy sounds an awful lot like Trump's personal copy.

It is astonishing. Just when he wants the wiretapping fiasco to go away one of the long sought tax returns, missing anything of relevance like the schedules of course, appears. Its like someone who wants to control the narrative let it out. Who has a history of that?

Destroying the Central Government

So now the Trump wants to cut down on the federal government and hand more power to the states. I wonder if he's familiar with the Articles of Confederation. They were very much for local power and proved to be completely useless as a federal government.

Also I wonder if he's familiar with the Middle Ages or Medieval Europe. As a holder of a Masters degree in Medieval Europe, I am. And one of the things that held Europe back during the Dark Ages aka Middle Ages aka Medieval times, was the power being held at the local level. Or Lords. The Lord Peasant relationship is a relationship of complete and total control by the Lord. Its a great system for the Lord aka the local rich scum but for the 99%, its crap.

Interestingly Japan had the same problem with warlords. Or maybe it was China. Or maybe both. I never was interested in Asian history though.

Central power is stability. Local power is not. Local power means more warring factions trying to get dominance.

Anyway, if the federal government isn't going to be the most powerful government of the land, then what is its purpose?

Welcome to the Banana Republic

You know what kind of countries have the current leader charging the previous leader with criminal acts? Its the laughing stock countries. The ones that can't remain stable for more than a decade if that. It's usually among the countries south of the United States or in Africa or some in South Asia. or some of the island countries.

Well not to be outdone by those countries, the President of the United States has issued the banana republic charge against Obama. Without revealing a shred of proof he accuses Obama of wire tapping him.

Does he think he needs evidence? Of course not. Just say it enough times and people will eventually believe it. Its the only way this silver spooned half wit could have convinced people to vote for him and to continue to stand in awe of him and attend rallies for him

I don't understand these people. No politician is worth idolizing. They are all mostly lawyers who belong in the bottom of the sea. And he's worse then a lawyer because he's a CEO or former if you believe him when he claims he's handed it over to his children. To top that off he's had everything handed to him his entire life. His business was going bankrupt so daddy gives him millions to prop it up. That's why he whines that  things aren't fair when a larger segment of the population voted for his opponent. Everything should always go his way and only 'yes sir' and 'how high sir' should be said to him according to his silver spooned upbringing.

The only positive thing about banana republics, the armies in those countries usually don't let half wits remain in power for long.
