Hey! How about a wall here in Wisconsin!!

Here's our man, POTUS Donald J. Trump:

You know, give the guy a break! Maybe because Colorado residents understand that Californians are very un-American, Mr President is building a wall on the Colorado-California border. Maybe too, their getting a wall on the border with Alabama to deter tropical storms and hurricanes.

Our own state of Wisconsin (formerly progressive but now featuring a color of gerrymandered red) borders Illinois and Minnesota - BOTH are blue states! Where's our wall? This is an emergency Mr. Senator Ron Johnson!! Oh wait, what? He's busy buying one way travel to Vienna to be with his friends? Alright. That was below the belt. Here's more on our own homegrown RoJo...

whistleblowing in the wind

From CBS News on 10/23/2019:

Top Republicans demand Democrats call whistleblower to testify publicly

This from a number of GOP Congress(almost ALL, white)men protesting impeachment inquiry depositions being conducted by three Democrat-controlled House committees in a secure room they're not allowed to be attending. Republican members of the three committees are allowed to and do attend these meetings. The "secrecy" is not FROM DEMOCRATS TO REPUBLICANS; it is in order to keep witnesses from comparing notes.

So now the three stooges, er, ranking Republican members of these committees have written a letter to Adam Schiff demanding the CIA-employed whistleblower testify. Hmm, what? These three congressmen are some dandies! Trump apologists - wait, wrong, why apologize for the best president ever - who are likely the spawn of ancestors who are both MEAN, like Heinrich Himmler,  and STUPID, well, like Donald Trump. The letter's signatories are Jim Jordan (OH), Devin Nunes (CA), and Michael McCaul (TX).

While the (thus far) anonymous whistleblower's report contributed to triggering the current impeachment inquiry, it was only reinforced as accurate by the White House-released transcript of the call it documented. The gist of the international presidential call was that President Trump was encouraging the Ukraine president to investigate dirt on Democrats while his administration suspended approved aid to the country. Since this became global news, Trump has also PUBLICLY called on a foreign government to investigate his political adversaries - PUBLICLY!! Trump has also had incendiary commentary regarding the whistleblower and their sources which has effectively angered his loyal followers - including some "very fine people" who conceivably would do harm to the whistleblower if his/her identity were known.

1). Whistleblower report confirmed accurate by WH call transcript.

2). Trump has openly committed the act that the impeachment inquiry is about.

3). Whistleblower's safety endangered if identity becomes known.

4). GOP congressional leaders demand public whistleblower testimony?

DUH!

This from the party that brought you the Iraq War based on "intelligence" that Saddam Hussein's regime still had weapons of mass destruction - which was OBVIOUSLY INCORRECT at the time and is now widely known to have been incorrect!

So let's expose the whistleblower even though their testimony has already been rendered not critical, watch as the Trump crazies kill this person, and thern we can all say, "Oh my, how awful - if only we knew!"

Moon face

“We're going to defeat socialism and put a man on the face of the moon."

Donald Trump, 10/11/2019

From HuffPost:

Trump Vows To Put A Man On The Moon. Someone Should Introduce Him To Buzz Aldrin.

A man’s face on the moon?

or a moon on a man’s face?

Sondland in Crazytown

10/8/2019, (bold by me)

From Cristina Marcos, The Hill:

Gordon Sondland, the ambassador to the European Union, was scheduled to appear for a deposition before the [House Impeachment Inquiry] committees on Tuesday until the State Department moved early in the morning to prevent his testimony.

Tweet from President Donald Trump:

"I would love to send Ambassador Sondland, a really good man and great American, to testify, but unfortunately he would be testifying before a totally compromised kangaroo court, where Republican’s rights have been taken away, and true facts are not allowed out for the public to see"

Trump’s administration blocks an appointed ambassador from testifying.

Trump complains that Democrats are not allowing facts out.

A Facebook response to a friend’s question re: post-trump

Original question posed on 10/7/2019 at 8:32pm by Eddie Davis (Nick) was:
Do late-night talk show hosts have a plan for how to make jokes in the post-Donald Trump world?
After a few comments, Nick went on to comment, “I was waiting for someone to say ‘there won't be a post-Trump world’”.  My response, offered “in my great and unmatched wisdom”, is below:
Eddy Davis there won’t be post-trump! Although the tide seems to be turning a little right now, he has frequently “joked” about ruling for more than 8 years. So if he’s defeated in an election (especially a close and almost certainly contested one), what or who is going to physically remove him from the WH? Not McConnell if he’s sadly still in office; the Supreme Court - not likely. If on the other hand he leaves office for whatever reason (resign, impeachment conviction, spend more time with his family ;0), there’s already talk of some kind of Trump tv and he’d continue to incite his base - even more unchecked than now. Also, I’m sure Ivanka, Donnie Jr, and Jared are all being groomed for the emperor position - by GOP “leaders”. For those who laugh at my paranoia, I guess I USED  to be sane - thinking stuff like: “no way this super-obvious sociopathic incompetent will be elected, but he sure makes for great comedy”, and: “there’s NO WAY intelligent people (even conservatives entitled to their disagreeable opinions and this administration fulfilling their missions) could support this guy’s behavior”. Regardless of the ass clown’s destiny, his supporters aren’t going away and they are the real problem. Plenty of material will remain for comedy, sadly dark/tragic comedy.

Young Black Leaders 2019, White House

Um, the Young Black Leadership thing in the East Room makes me wonder if WH staff had the attendees drink Flint municipal water right before President🐴🤡 entertained them by deftly juggling very, very large words on the teleprompter with ad lib musings from deep within his “very, very large [ahh] brain”.  Honestly, the kids cheered so rabidly that this event had to have been a plant! Speaking of plants, I noticed President 🦇💩 brought along his pet sycophant, future former Vice President Pence, who must be proud to follow in the spoor trail of fellow Hoosier, Dan Quayle. The former US Senator who served as GHW Bush’s VP made the idea of Sara Palin as John McCain’s running mate seem viable - even bright - compared to Quayle. Past and present tense Pence now makes VP Quayle, himself, seem eerily relevant and inspired. So assuming Hot Pence was there for more than his good looks, maybe the whole Young Black Leadership setup was actually an ass-kissing class in support of future superpac “Trump Lies Matter”? Which would make a perfect title for a Kellyanne Conway memoir where she could prove that presidential alternative facts come out of the executive mouth as air, spittle, and sound waves (not to mention smell which I bet is a cheery combo of sulfur, mothballs, and Vladimir Putin’s 🍑), which is matter and is therefore real and factual. Look out Stephen Miller: I’m getting 🤪good at this 🤥👺and I’m coming for your job!

I tried watching the lengthy disturbing Fox News video mentioned here, but I had to rest after mopping up the mess caused by my brain exploding.🤯 So I’m offering up opinions and conclusions here without taking the whole thing in - just like nearly all Congress members relating to the Mueller Report. 

Mt Rushmore?

Ha! Speaking of Reagan, who USED to be the most ignorant modern POTUS (a little unfair because he had Alzheimers, but he was no stable genius when healthy anyway), there have long been calls to add him to Mt Rushmore. While this national monument can’t get any cheesier even with the addition of Ronnie, here’s a better idea: build a new monument for GOP presidents who have been so good to the ultra-rich. Start with Ronnie and, of course, Donnie. Call it “Moron Richmore”, and site it at Jacumba Peak very near the US-Mexico border (where it would be really hard to build a wall, btw). However, instead of leaving it a mountain, using the surface mining technique of mountain removal (get all that safe and healthy carbon based fuel out), make it into a giant pit of scorched earth. Dig deep enough to expose boiling pits of molten rock so the color approximates Pres. Trump’s radiant complexion. Leave enough massive boulders to inspire future generations’ understanding of the honored leaders’ “very very large (uh) b(uh)rain[s]” that governed the policies which are leading to our descendants’ ongoing need to wear hazmat gear - since they will not likely be among the wealthiest 0.01 % who can afford to live on the relatively temperate Planet Mars. Or even on the planet formerly known as Uranus, by then renamed “Youranus” as a result of the Trump Library and the Trump-family tomb placements there. Moron Richmore should also incorporate “extras” like a theme park with attractions such as “Treason Island”, and a giant shredder disguised as an IRS tax return center. Plus an onsite resort called “Putin on the Ritz” where all beds have waterproof sheets and shower stalls have grab bars shaped like kittens. The restaurant would be named “The White Supremacy House” with racially segregated customer seating and the motto reassures, “There’s very fine people on both sides”. Menu selections on the white side might include crow, the customers’ young, a tough pill, their conscience, more; the “non-Aryan” section’s menu items could include shithole-country fried stake (in your heart), fresh effluvium prepared in the restaurant’s other section (comes with a shingle), a 🍑, Stephen Miller’s sensibilities (low cal), Mitch McConnell’s soul (no cal). Throughout Moron Richmore, visitors will find environment friendly trash receptacles specifically for any or all of the US Constitution (sorry, not the second amendment), absolutely everything with the word “Obama” or “McCain” on it, as well as anything at all that represents reality-based truth. In addition to statuary featuring worldwide tyrannical despots and others who gave so much of others lives in support of a wide spectrum of xenophobia and hatred, the scorched earth monument will also be rife with commemorative plaques honoring American patriots who served in order to create even greater wealth disparity, smart gerrymandering (“Alexa, make sure people of color’s votes don’t count”), continual availability of state-sourced propaganda and “alternative facts”, dismantling of any/all protections for the environment, any/all living organisms (except cells formed by conception - up until birth), much more. Besides the US Presidents designated for eternal shame and damnation by larger-than-life Mt. Rushmore-like shrines to their respective demolition of American life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, there are a number of potential dis-honorees: McConnell, sycophant homophobe Mike Pence, Devil Nunes, Gym Jordan, Steve King (the scary one), ever-irrelevant Rick Santorum, very funny Rudy “Can’t make this up” Giuliani, Darth Cheney and his puppets, Dubya (sorry George, gotta be a real pres for a commemorative magma pit) and siblingphobic spawn Liz, retired and just as effective now as when he was speaker Paul Ryan-Munster, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Kellyanne Conway, Scott Pruitt, Ryan Zinke, Betsy DeVoss, Wilbur Ross, Sonny Perdue, so many deserving for their disservice...

So yeah, the only trickle down I’m getting is because of BPH.
