Trump is a Fucking Whackjob Imbecile

Filed in National by on July 16, 2019 1 Comment

With everything going on I know that trying read yet another story about Trump being an idiot feels like overkill, but this isn’t a story. It is just Trump’s verbatim remarks at the “Social Media Summit” or whatever the fuck he called it. It is breathtaking, in a bad way.

On Using Twitter to Fuck With What Comes in his TV

I said watch, I’m going to do this. And I said, “We recognize the Golan Heights as being part of Israel.” It was a big thing. I go, watch this: boom! I press it, and within two seconds: “We have breaking news.” John Roberts of Fox was over. He said, “We have breaking news. Please, break it up.” Doesn’t matter what they’re talking about, John does it. He breaks it up.

Lisa Blunt Rochester would like you to know that she has nothing but love for racist shithead Trump enabler

Just look at the voting record of this motherfucking racist-ass Trump enabler who said that Trump’s SOTU address was “an inspiring vision of American exceptionalism.”    If you are wondering why LBR has so much love for racist-ass Trump enablers remember that anyone with an “R” after his name gives LBR bipartisanship street cred (which is far more valuable than integrity in LBR world).

Lisa Blunt Rochester would like you to know that she has issued a mild rebuke to the President via Twitter

Before that tweet was 3 hours old she piled four more tweets on top to push it down, because she simply will not allow the racist President to keep her from working with racist Republicans in Congress. #bipartisanship

Things we already know about the next financial crisis

Things we already know about the next financial crisis

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Friday issued a warning Friday that the US government is at risk of running out of cash sooner than expected.

In a letter to Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Mnuchin wrote that the US might default on its obligations as soon as early September, before Congress returns from its summer recess.

The US Treasury, which is facing a growing deficit thanks to President Donald Trump’s 2017 tax cuts, had said it had enough cash to last until the fall.

Here are some things we already know about the looming Trump recession.

1) It will be caused by greedy poor people who have the audacity to be poor while expecting government services.

2) Another culprit will be fat cat teachers and teacher unions. Also Mexicans,liberals, Iran, and the fake media.

3) More and bigger tax cuts will get us out of it because when corporations and rich people get tax cuts they reinvest that money in creating jobs.

4) We’ll need to socialize bank losses because socialism is good for that and that alone.

5) To do so, we’ll have to “tighen our belts” (around our necks) and get rid of wasteful government spending on Social Security.

6) Democrats will compromise with Republicans on this for of trickle down stimulus rather than risk being viewed as partisan.

Lions led by sheep

The more I think about the sick state of the Delaware Democratic Party the more I am disgusted by our “leadership.”

John Carney? It is widely accepted that he is a useless turd.
Bethany Hall Long? No apparent interest in anything other than her electoral safety.
Lisa Blunt Rochester? Please. If cowardice had initials they’d be LBR.
Coons? He puts being friends with the creeps on the right above literally EVERYTHING.
Peter C. Schwartzkopf? “A terrible person.” That’s on his business card.

The list goes on and on. If anyone can name one elected Democrat with any power in the state that has a shred of integrity, or an ounce of courage I’d be shocked.

And it is a pity, because

Song of the Day 7/10: The “5” Royales, “Dedicated to the One I Love”

Filed in National by on July 10, 2019 3 Comments

A lot of people think the Shirelles version of this song is the original, but it was merely the first version to hit the charts. Written by Lowman Pauling of the “5” Royales (so billed because another band was also using the name Royales), it was released in 1957. The Shirelles covered it in 1959 […]
