Trump Fires Acting AG Out The Cannon!

Trump's inner circle in dissray. He fires his acting attorney general.

The trademark phrase from then reality television star and now fuhrer was simonious with The Apprentice on NBC.

Donald J. Trump said "You're Fired!"

It was a popular catchphrase.

Now fuhrer Trump decides to fire Sally Yates out the cannon. Yates is the acting Attorney General who held over from the Barack Obama administration. She said she will stand by the federal court order. She said that the U.S> Justice Department would not defend the fuhrer's executive order on immigration.

Sean Spicer the spinner of "alternative facts" said that Yates was relieved of her duties. Dana Boente will be named acting attorney general until the Senate confirms that squinty eyed bigot Jeff Sessions.
Sally Yates was fired out the cannon after she refused to stand with the fuhrer.
Session is currently a Republican senator from Alabama.

Spicer said that Yates "betrayed the Department of Justice" by refusing to defend the fuhrer's order.

Again showing his disdain for the law and women, the release of Yates was simple.

According to the fuhrer's minions, Yates is weak on borders and very weak on illegal immigration.

This woman is a career prosecutor.

According tot he AP, former Breitbart president and now confidant to the fuhrer, white extremist Stephen Bannon forged the idea to ban Muslims and immigrants.

A large group of diplomats and senior intelligence officials resigned today. Former Exxon Mobil chief Rex Tillerson is awaiting confirmation for Secretary of State had lost almost 90% of the foreign aides who could help him broker deals with other nations.

Republicans are lock and step with the Trumpster. So don't let their weak cries of concern make you feel remorse for them.

Democrats better get a spine. They better oppose, delay and shut the government down. Do what Republicans done to Obama. Democrats better start bitching and fight dirty. Oppose Trump and the Republican Party.

The End Is Near For Obamacare!

The Democratic Party can't win the battle against stupidity. Republicans vow to repeal Obamacare despite the possibility of causing a backlash against those who enrolled and the agencies that need it. Minority Leaders Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) do their presser blasting Republicans.

Stupidity continues to plague the American government. Republicans passed a budget resolution early morning sealing their pledge to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act.

So if you have pre-existing conditions, be prepared to pay out of pocket because the morons in Washington allowed their egos drive their votes. And they dismissed the anger from constituents as "scare tactics".

51 to 48 members of the Senate gave way to Republicans taking away 20 to 30 million enrolled Americans from having health insurance. Whereas lawmakers can get healthcare for their families, you won't get affordable health coverage for your family.

Now eight years later, Republicans are making good on their promise to "repeal and replace" the law.

It comes as no surprise that the fuhrer has nothing to worry about. He's got the best doctors to take care of him and his family. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) can literally have health care at the drop of a dime. The Republicans are allowing their egos get in the way of making good on helping the American people.
Two cocks in a barrel of monkeys.
Regardless of the scare tactics, Democrats seething from their defeat are promising "no compromise" with the fuhrer. The spineless Democrats (yeah, Heidi Heitkamp, Joe Manchin, Jon Tester, Bob Casey, and Bob Menendez) will stand in the way of getting things done. They want to protect their healthcare and their jobs. They can't even take a bullet for the team. I mean what worthless bunch of lawmakers we elect.

I guess the concern will be now getting rid of liability coverage for drivers of motorized vehicles.

If they repeal the healthcare law, maybe we should strip out liability insurance. After all most states require you to have liability insurance when you operate a vehicle.

The fuhrer wants Republicans to get something out the gate quickly, because they can't pass this law without having a backup. Because if they repeal a law without making any replacement, it's going to be a complicated mess created by ___________!

They'll began blaming President Barack Obama for their decision to repeal the healthcare law.

The Republican Party shut down the government and caused such uproars while in power and now they're rewarded for it.

Rand Paul Blocks Obamacare Repeal!

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) resorts back to this Don Quixote nonsense.

Republicans threaten to repeal Obamacare. It may hurt over 30 million who signed up to the healthcare exchanges. The law is controversial. But Republicans still fixated on the past are willing to hurt Americans to please their hateful base of idiots.

We have the fuhrer Donald J. Trump coming to power in mid-January. 

President Barack Obama urges Democrats to not lose faith. He says stay strong and fight.

Democrats vow to fight Trump and Republicans all the way. 

Kentucky senator and failed Republican presidential candidate Rand Paul pissed off Republicans today. He said that he will support the repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act only if the law doesn't hurt the budget. 

"I won't vote for a terrible budget just to repeal Obamacare," said Paul.

Paul's refusal to support the Republican resolution was not acceptable to him. 

"Republicans won the White House. Republicans control the Senate. Republicans control the House. And what will the first order of business be for the new Republican majority? To pass a budget that never balances. To pass a budget that will add $9.7 trillion of new debt over 10 years. Is that really what we campaigned on? Is that really what the Republican Party represents? Our first order of business will be a budget that never balances... and they tell us, 'Oh, but it's not a budget.' If you listen, they tell us, 'Oh, but it's not a budget.' If you listen, they will say, 'No, no, it is a vehicle to repeal Obamacare.' And yet I have the title in front of me. It says a concurrent resolution for the budget of 2017."

The latest accomplishment for a senator with no historical achievements is the grandstanding over principles.

The cautious tale of Republicans fight to repeal President Barack Obama's first term. 

Republicans now want to be the grown-ups in room. After nearly 8 years of opposing about 95% of President Barack Obama agenda, Republicans are now eager to rollback the laws that helped stabilize the economy.

This vote on repealing Obamacare could be a dangerous move. If they kick millions off the insurance exchanges, it could lead to insurance providers to raise rates on everyone. 

The resolution passed 51 to 48 vote. Republicans will gamble repealing the law without any replacement or alternative. 

Republicans begin the 115th term with skepticism and distrust among themselves. They already faced a huge backlash when Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) was trying to get a House vote on rolling back the policies of the Office of Congressional Ethics. He was trying to strip the OCE of its independence and ability to investigate anonymous claims.

The fuhrer warned the Republicans to support the vehicle that helped his victory.

Again I say fuck Donald Trump, Mike Pence, Melania Trump, Rand Paul, Republicans, this white extremist movement they labeled the "alt-right" and those who support them. Fuck this country and the systematic bullshit they masquerade as patriotism.

The GOP Want To Be Grown Ups!

Fuhrer Donald Trump and House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI).

I reject racism, sexism, nepotism, favoritism, anti-semitism, Islamophobia, homophobia, and ignorance. I reject fuhrer Donald J. Trump, vice fuhrer Mike Pence and the Republican Party.

I don't support their policies, their proposals, and I hope the spineless Democrats finally man up and give Trump the business. After all, Republicans spent eight years railing on President Barack Obama.

Starting on January 3, 2017, the Congress comes back to Washington. With a modest majority in the House and Senate, Republicans are feeling the wind is at their sails. They promise to repeal the Affordable Healthcare Act. They promise to derail the nuclear agreement to stop Iran from building a weapon. They want to "extremely vet" refugees coming from Syria, Somalia and other countries caught in war (sparked by our meddling in the Middle East and Israel). They want to condemn the United Nations for passing a resolution condemning Israel after they were caught building settlements on Palestinian land. They want that damn Keystone XL and Dakota Access pipeline and more religion-based laws that can discriminate against same sex couples. They want to put their policies of cutting regulations back in play.

Their proposals could backfire and send the country back into recession. But I am giving a hypothetical. These proposals could work. But I don't want Trump or Republicans to succeed.

Like that old fart Rush Limbaugh said famously, "I HOPE HE FAILS".

Time for payback.

Is there a way to fight without going into the abyss of slime?

I mean Trump pretty much took fact-checking and statisticians like Nate Silver out the picture.

How can you fight a politician who fights dirty?

I don't support promoting fake news. I don't believe in hearsay and hypotheticals.

I mean it worked well for Trump.Could the left and the middle find a way to take on a narcissist billionaire who happens to be your fuhrer?

The Fuhrer Praises The Bear!

Donni and the Vlad. The fuhrer is praising the Russia president's move to not expel Americans from consulates.

We're going to be good friends, trust me!

That's the words of your fuhrer Donald J. Trump when he takes office in January. Democrats and some Republicans are voicing concern that the fuhrer is playing into the Russian leader Vladimir Putin's hands.

Putin threatens retaliation against the United States in the wake of President Barack Obama's executive orders imposing sanctions and expelling of diplomats from Russia.

Putin backed off threats of kicking out the U.S. diplomats. That's won praise from the Trumpster.




Trump's praise comes fresh after the sanctions were imposed. The 35 suspected spies that the U.S. believes had an hand in the meddling in the election were told to bounce. If they choose to stay, they might be detained in federal time out.

"All Americans should be alarmed by Russia's actions," said the president.

Russians were barred from entering two compounds in Maryland and New York.

Trump's praise brought unease among Republicans. Inept Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said to the junk food media that "Russia isn't our friends."

House Speaker Paul Ryan said that Obama was right on the move. Failed presidential candidates and current senators John McCain (R-AZ) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC) both said that Trump was out of line by praising Putin.

Trump supporters don't give a fuck about the tweet. They believe that Trump is right no matter how dumb his move are.

Obama did put Trump in a vice grip. Because if Trump undoes the sanctions, he could piss off the intelligence agencies.

I Dare You Take Away My Healthcare You Chickensh*t Republicans!

The inept Republican leaders will attempt another repeal of the Affordable Healthcare Act despite high enrollment and positive results.  Fuhrer Trump wants the law scrapped. Republican congress can't figure out an alternative. They could kick 30 million people off health insurance.

I dare you Republicans to repeal my healthcare. 

The fuhrer and the Republican mafia continue to push forward their repeal and replace Obamacare objective. Even though it survived a Supreme Court ruling, millions of new enrollment, and working state mandated healthcare exchanges, Republicans rather see you lose your insurance and place you in a position where the healthcare industry will put you in the poor house for a just a simple visit.

With the 115th Congress having a Republican president, a Republican controlled Congress and the possibility of a Supreme Court pick who can rollback the law, it's likely Obamacare will be repealed.

Democrats are seething with revenge but no real plan to stop the Republicans from accomplishing their long held objective.

I certainly will waste no time burdening Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH), my local congressmen Rep. Mike Turner (R-OH), Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH), and Rep. Warren Davidson (R-OH) will signs calling a bunch of "pussies".

I mean signs and name calling won't do much. Death threats will earn you federal time out. Harassing them could lead to you being banned from government properties or events that host lawmakers.

Calling in to a radio show won't help much either. It only gets your voice heard and ease frustration.

What can you actually do with these pussies?

These pussies along with the rest of the Republican controlled Congress get healthcare for life. They get perks for being elected. They spend about 1/3 or less of their time actually doing their jobs. They spend most of their time taking earmarks and trying to get reelected despite having no reasonable accomplishments.

I mean think about how Turner's pork benefited the cities of Dayton, London and Xenia.

Think about how Jordan's pork benefited the cities of Urbana and Sandusky.

Think about how Davidson's pork benefited the cities of Eaton, West Chester and Troy.

They have no real accomplishments respectfully. The only real accomplishment is the fact that Jordan gets airtime on Sean "Softball" Hannity's show. Turner and Davidson are rank-in-file Republicans who vote with the herd.

Each of them show nothing but contempt for the status quo.

In my opinion, Turner and Davidson are likely to be the ones to be caught in a sex scandal.

Yet they are rewarded with another term and it's like nothing ever happened.

Some of Fuhrer Donald J. Trump's promises is to build a border wall that Mexico will pay for. He wants to have a Muslim ban. He wants to keep refugees from war torn nations from entering the U.S. until they go through extreme vetting. He wants to have Keystone XL and Dakota Access Pipelines built. He wants to tear up the Iranian nuclear deal. He wants the Dodd-Frank banking regulations repealed. He wants to sue his alleged accusers of sexual harassment. He wants to replace the healthcare law because in his opinion it's a disaster. He believes that if we bomb the shit out of the Islamic State, we can win this endless war on terror. He wants punish companies that move out the United States despite some of his affiliates and his own brands being made in foreign countries. He wants to exit NATO. He wants to make our allies pay for military defense (but give special privileges to Israel). He also wants to keep the press from knowing what he's doing by regulating who gets press access to the White House (and Trump Tower).

He wants to grab the world by the pussy. Republicans are willing to give him what he wants.

House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and the Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) are willing drop their pants and let Trump get him some.

Republicans signal a fast repeal of the law.

Despite having no suitable replacement, the Republicans are playing their bets on a fickle voter base.

Obamacare as its called by the Republican mafia is actually known as the Affordable Healthcare and Patient Protection Act. The law was signed in two portions in 2010. The law requires Americans to enroll for primary health insurance. In order to keep cost low, the federal government gives exchanges to states to help low income or newcomers the opportunity to enroll for insurance without going through private providers. Some private providers pulled out because of the Republican kill switch. The switch allowed private providers to opt out when their costs outweigh the government's costs. You must enroll into a healthcare exchange before January 31 of the following year. If not, you might be penalized on your federal taxes.

Save your comments for Friday. I will devote a post each Friday to address the week. Make sure when you comment leave a name and a message. Anonymous comments are deleted.

Republicans Quietly End Benghazi Committee!

Blowhard concludes partisan Benghazi committee. Rep. Trey Gowdy (R-SC) is a worthless partisan hack.

The only muscle Republicans flex in the war on terrorism is their tongues and your taxpayer dollars.

For those who forgot or were born after September 11, 2001 let's remind the readers here. A Republican president was in office when the worst terrorist attack on American soil happened.

The Republican president ignored the memo about a potential attack on America through commercial airplanes. It led to the ongoing Afghanistan war and the concluded but still involved Iraqi war. It was masquarade as the War on Terror.

It cost trillions of dollars and countless lives. Under two presidents we have been in war. Now as the controversial billionaire racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star who will be our first ever Fuhrer of the United States, he will likely take the memo.

But who knows how unpredictable this Donald J. Trump will be?

One thing that's not going carry on is the investigation. The four year investigation into a terrorist attack on a U.S. Consulate and CIA annex in the seaport city of Benghazi, Libya. Four Americans were killed.

Republicans were quick to blame President Barack Obama for the tragedy. The party tried and failed in 2012 when Obama went against Mitt Romney. Obama would win easily. But going against his former Secretary of State and former First Lady of the United States Hillary Clinton, it hung to her like a noose around her neck. While she may have taken the popular vote, she lost the all important electoral college.

If she would have won, Republicans would carry this on for years.

With nearly $10 million used to investigate the September 11, 2012 tragedy, Republicans have gotten all the answers they need.

For the Democrats and progressive agitators, it was the scandal that never went away, until now.

The House Republicans decided that the committee's "findings" were suitable to their cause. They ended the committee and case is closed. Now that Clinton was humiliated by the election loss,

Republicans are now gleefully taunting Democrats by bringing the curtain down on the House Select Committee on Benghazi.

Again, I will not respect Donald J. Trump and Mike Pence as the country's next whatever....!

I will oppose them just like they opposed Barack Obama. I might go after their families. I am not willing to go down the hole but since they attacked Michelle Obama and her daughters, who knows?

I might go after Trump's sons and daughters.

Trump Insults The CIA!

American Dad. Stan Smith visibly annoyed with Donald Trump demanding a cut when Smith said his trademark phrase "You're Fired".The show deals with Smith being a CIA-operative who deals with his dysfunctional family, a East German athlete who's brain was implanted inside a goldfish and self-absorbing alien who lives in his attic 

In the world of fake news, the controversial billionaire/racist/sexist/pussy grabbing/immature reality television star who will be your next fuhrer has dismissed the CIA claims that the Russian Federation influenced the election.

Many Republicans are not interested in the possibility of Russian hackers breaking into the DNC and RNC emails. The CIA concluded that Russia did provide some impact on this election. It was no secret that Vladimir Putin's tension with Hillary Clinton lead to the Wikileaks email dump. The Russian hackers didn't care too much about the Republican emails. The email scandal hung around Clinton's neck and did cost her the election.

The intelligence community warns Donald J. Trump to take all briefings seriously.

During the campaign, Trump had called for foreign hackers to look into Clinton's emails to prove that she deliberately allowed American diplomats to die in Benghazi.

Inept Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the Majority Leader said now he's in favor of a investigation of the hacking. At first, he was not interested but he backed down when many of the still racist but rational members said that the possibility is real. Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) are examples of lawmakers who look at these issues seriously.

But who takes them seriously anymore?

John Glenn Passed Away!

Famed astronaut and former U.S. Senator John Glenn passed away.

Sad news to report. The legendary astronaut and former Democratic senator from Ohio, John Glenn passed away. Around that time, he was hospitalized at the Ohio State University James Cancer Center. A specific cause of death wasn't revealed but at the time of his death, the family confirmed he was in dire straits.

Buzz Aldrin is suffering from declining health issues as well. He was in Antarctica when he was getting ill and had to return back to the United States. He was told of the news while in the hospital.

President Barack Obama and President-elect Donald Trump were notified of the passing.

Obama said that "with John's passing, our nation has lost an icon."

"When John Glenn blasted off from Cape Canaveral atop an Atlas rocket in 1962, he lifted the hopes of a nation," Obama said in a statement. "And when his Friendship 7 spacecraft splashed down a few hours later, the first American to orbit the Earth reminded us that with courage and a spirit of discovery there’s no limit to the heights we can reach together."

Trump said in a tweet that the nation had lost "a great pioneer of air and space in John Glenn. He was a hero and inspired generations of future explorers."

Ohio governor John Kasich, Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-OH) and Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) were notified as well.

Glenn was the last survivor of the Mercury 7. He was selected in 1959 as NASA's first groups of astronauts. He became the first American to orbit the Earth on February 20th, 1962.

He was born on July 18, 1921 in Cambridge, Ohio to Clara and John H. Glenn, Sr. The family moved to New Concord when he was young. His father was involved in the business of plumbing. He didn't want to get into the business, he wanted to be an engineer.

He went to Muskingum College to study there. He dropped out to join the Navy. He was influenced to join after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. In World War II, John flew 59 combat missions in the South Pacific as Marine aviator. He flew a further 90 combat missions during the Korean War. He survived skirts with enemy fire and lived to tell about it.

Around that time, he met his love Annie and she always had his back. They would have two children and live in Columbus, Ohio.

Glenn was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1974. Served from 1975 until 1999. He lost his first bid for the Senate from Ohio in 1970, after abandoning a race in 1964 because of a head injury suffered in a fall.

Glenn was briefly considered as a running mate for Democratic presidential candidate Jimmy Carter in 1980. But a ponderous address at the Democratic National Convention – people walked out – caused Carter to remark that Glenn was "the most boring man I ever met."

Glenn sought the Democratic presidential nomination himself in 1984 but was quickly eliminated by eventual nominee Walter Mondale, Carter's vice president. His failure was all the more stinging because he had been touted as an early front-runner.

In the Senate, Glenn was respected as a thoughtful moderate with expertise in defense and foreign policy. But his career's luster was dulled by a Senate investigation of the "Keating Five" – five senators suspected of doing favors for campaign contributor Charles Keating Jr. The panel eventually found Glenn did nothing improper or illegal.

He took a leading role in seeking to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons, especially to Pakistan. He was the author of a law that forced the United States to impose sanctions on India and Pakistan in 1998 after both countries conducted nuclear tests.

He also was a staunch advocate of a strong military and took a keen interest in strategic issues. He retired from the Senate in 1999.

Thirty-six years after his maiden space voyage, Glenn became America's first geriatric astronaut on Oct. 29, 1998. He was 77 years old when he blasted off as a mission specialist aboard the shuttle Discovery. He saw it as a blow to stereotyping of the elderly.

"Maybe prior to this flight, we were looked at as old geezers who ought to get out of the way," Glenn said after his nine-day shuttle mission. "Just because you’re up in years some doesn't mean you don't have hopes and dreams and aspirations just as much as younger people do."

Recently the city of Columbus renamed its airport John Glenn Metro Columbus International Airport.

The former was Port Columbus.

The skies are the limit for a legend. He will be sorely missed. Godspeed John Glenn.

George Carlin Said It Best!

George Carlin was right on politicians. Wish he was alive to see Trump as the president.

The late George Carlin hated politicians. He hated charlatans and if he was alive today, he would hate Donald J. Trump, the 45th President of The United States.

Trump and Mike Pence will take over on January 20th, 2017. For the next four or eight years, these two will run the country. Hope the best for them. But I don't consider them my leaders.

TRUMP IS NOT MY PRESIDENT.

Watch Carlin give it his best.

No Charge!

Clinton is feeling like a winner. Conservatives are outraged.

Can we finally put to rest those goddamn emails?

Confirmed. The FBI stands firm in not indicting Hillary Clinton on the emails being held on a private server.

Two weeks since the bombshell, Donald Trump and his allies have push the notion that Clinton would be indicted for criminal acts. It turns out that Clinton followed the rules and is once again cleared of any criminal acts.

FBI director James Comey who is facing backlash for dropping a bombshell close to the election.

The FBI has cleared Clinton in the ongoing issue facing Huma Abedin's estranged husband Anthony Weiner. The disgraced congressman is accused of sending inappropriate sexting pictures to a minor.

He sought sexual treatment and is cooperating with the FBI.

Clinton's lead shrunk because of this FBI memo to Congress. Clinton blames Republicans and their obsession with issues that aren't important in this election.

Clinton's odds of winning the U.S. presidential election remain at 60% at present time.

Trump. Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) and RNC chief Reince Priebus condemn the decision and still believe that Clinton committed criminal acts.

Republicans Signal Fight With Clinton!

Hillary Clinton is working to help down ticket candidates. Will it help

Hillary Clinton celebrates her 69th birthday by campaigning in the crucial swing states. Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Arizona and North Carolina are the key to her victory. She sees an advantage in plucking away three states that normally goes to Republicans.

Republican in the Congress are by far the most inept ever to run government. Running on the narratives of agitators in the junk food media, these lawmakers are determined to create scandals where none existed.

Take for example, the John Podesta emails. I don't give a damn about those emails. They are not really important to me. Yeah, this is a scandal for the Democratic nominee, but this is cake compared to the nonsense coming out of Donald Trump's mouth. The Republican nominee and his party are determined to make life miserable for Clinton if she does win.

Right now over 200 days and counting since President Barack Obama nominated Merrick Garland for the Supreme Court. Republicans said that they will not take up any nominee until a new president is sworn in.
The most inept members of the Republican controlled Senate will fight President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton to the bitter end.
Now that it's looking likely Clinton got this in the bag, Republicans are taking back their pledge.

Embattled Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) is leading by five in state polls. The senator and former presidential nominee in 2008 said that he and Republicans will oppose any nominee Clinton lines up in her administration. He walked back the comments after the junk food media called him out on his bullshit.

He already let the cat out the bag. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) and Sen. Ted Cruz already planning an opposition tour. Lee will likely win his senate race. Sen. Rob Portman (R-OH) also likely to win signaled his opposition to a potential Clinton nominee.

Now Clinton, Obama and Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick have seized upon those comments as a way to prove that Republicans can't govern. Democrats are hoping his "senile" moment will hurt him.

Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) the Majority Leader has been awful stubborn about getting Garland through. Matter of fact, there are a handful of federal appointees wrangled up. It will Obama without most of his nominees confirmed.

Why Is Florida Still Riding With "Little Marco?"



Pathetic lawmakers Marco Rubio and Rand Paul will try for 2020 if the Republican nominee Donald Trump fails at beating Hillary Clinton. The two lawmakers failed at winning the Republican nomination. Now as a consolation prize, the two are looking to be reelected to the senate to protect their worthless leader Mitch McConnell's hold on the chamber.

It looks like they're cruising to victory in their bid for reelection. These two are the most polarizing and least productive members of the Senate. I don't understand why so many people are willing to elect these guys, knowing that they're planning on running for president again.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) are failed Republican presidential candidates who were defeated by Trump. They (along with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC)) were hoping that they could defeat President Barack Obama's policies and the Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton at the ballot box.

Trump reluctantly gave his blessings to Rubio, Paul and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) in their bid to keep the Senate in Republican hands.

Rubio is leading in some polls. But he is still being mocked as being robotic and inconsistent. He is taking on a Florida congressman who has little accomplishments other than defeating the one term asshole Allen West.

Here's the debate.


Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL), is a lawmaker who refuses to embrace President Barack Obama and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. He's running on "I'm the independent" in the room nonsense.

However, Murphy was endorsed by The Miami Herald, The Orlando Sentinel, the Tampa Bay Times, and the Sun-Sentinel.

The newspapers say that Rubio being an opportunist. They called him out on flip-flopping about retiring from the Senate. They said that he and the Republicans are deliberately delaying the confirmation of Merrick Garland, Obama's choice for the Supreme Court. He blocked recommended nominees for the federal court. One candidate he personally asked the president to look at is being held up. Rubio refuses to support measures that could stop mass shootings.

"Floridians deserve a full time Senator who will show up and work hard for them for a full six-year term," said Murphy. "From fighting the spread of Zika to addressing gun violence, and strengthening our middle class, the issues facing Florida are just too important for part time leadership. Marco Rubio abandoned this state to run for President and has the worst voting attendance record of any Florida Senator in nearly 50 years. Floridians deserve a commitment from Marco Rubio that he won’t just use them as a stepping stone to run for President again in 2020."

"Unlike Senator Rubio, I love working hard for Floridians and I am humbled to serve in Congress. Floridians can trust that I will show up and fight for them for the full six years in the U.S. Senate. I have signed this pledge and made a commitment to Florida. I hope Marco Rubio will do the same."

The Pulse nightclub shooting, Jordan Davis and Trayvon Martin's deaths were examples of reckless people contributing to gun violence. The newspapers gave him some credit. He did support Zika funding after the mosquito threat was declining. He did support immigration reform before he retreated from it.
Little Marco (R-FL) shakes hands with Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL)
His lukewarm support of Trump is a double edged sword. He said that Trump has "little hands" and is a "con man" who has no business being near the nuclear codes. Not to mention that failed presidential candidate New Jersey governor Chris Christie tore him apart. Christie said that he's robotic. Christie went on to endorse Trump for president bucking Rubio, the Republican's last hope for winning.

The memorized 30 second stump caught Rubio off guard. Christie put a huge dent in his presidential bid. Donald Trump buried him in the dirt after that.



Mind you that South Florida is the only place in Florida where Marco Rubio won in his failed presidential bid. He's hoping to court on Cuban Americans and dissatisfied Floridians.

He's talking the same game as Rubio. Both candidates are flawed.

Given that Murphy was the serious candidate at the time. He roundedly beat Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) in a bid for the Democratic nomination. He is considered a moderate Democrat. He was formerly a Republican. He got tired of the party shifting from its practical base. I had him beating Rubio by 3 points in the previous postings. But so far I am going to correct myself on this. I will say that Rubio will win his reelection by 1.4 points.

Clinton is leading in Florida polls. She and the Democrats are going after Rubio and McCain.

Murphy baits Rubio by writing a pledge to not run for president after becoming a senator.
 McCain said that if Clinton becomes the president, he and the Republicans will continue oppose nominees for her administration and nominees for the Supreme Court.

Obama went to Miami to aim at Rubio for his inept work as a senator.

"How can he call him a con artist and dangerous, and object to all the controversial things he's said, but then say, 'I'm still going to vote for him?'" Obama said to a boisterous crowd at a Hillary Clinton rally at a historically black college in this swing state.

"C'mon, man," he said.

"If you're willing to be anybody just to be somebody, man, you don't have the leadership that Florida needs in the United States Senate," said Obama.

Now if Florida does elect this turd back to Congress, he will spend more time preparing for president than doing his job.

Why Do Arizonans Support That Old Fool?

John McCain is worthless. The "Maverick" said he and his fellow Republicans will oppose Hillary Clinton's nominees if she wins the election.

This is why Democrats need to retake Congress. Republican obstruction is too much. They have wasted over seven months holding off President Barack Obama's Supreme Court pick Merrick Garland.

Garland who was selected shortly after Antonin Scalia passed away was roundly praised for being fair but the Republicans fear that his confirmation could tip the Court to the left.

When Scalia passed away, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) remarked that no nominee will come forth until the next president is in office. That led to Republicans rallying around this notion that if they can delay the nominees of Obama, they score a victory.

The president is none too pleased about the hold up. He urges Democrats to come out swinging.

In private, he wants Republicans to buried. Donald Trump has single handedly fucked up the Republican Party. He is openly saying things that Republicans say when the cameras are off.

And by the look of things, it's going to be a longer wait for the ninth spot if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency.

The failed 2008 presidential nominee clapping his choppers. And it may put his crucial seat up for grabs.

He and his fellow Republicans will oppose any Supreme Court nominee, a President Clinton brings to the Senate.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) distances himself from Donald Trump after the tapes were released earlier this month. Trump, the Republican nominee was pressured by RNC chief Reince Priebus to support McCain in his tough primary against Kelli Ward, a former state senator endorsed by many Republicans.

McCain roundly beaten her and is now facing a battle against Democratic challenger Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ).
The Democrats are pouring money into the Arizona race with senate candidate Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick (D-AZ). She is taking on worthless Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). Hillary Clinton hopes to pick off Arizona from Donald Trump.
And unfortunately he's leading by eight in polls.

McCain who brands himself as a maverick and a bipartisan leader. McCain is hoping that his distance from Trump. He wants to win those who aren't familiar to Kirkpatrick.

Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) who is also facing reelection is mum on the comments. He believes that the president and future presidents deserve their nominee. However, he and Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) held Obama's federal judges and Garland up for months.

The federal courts are in emergency crisis. Republicans on pace of having the fewest confirmations in the final term of Obama.

Sniff!

Sideshow. House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) is facing a mutiny once again.

Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) is the Speaker of the House. He was the former 2012 vice presidential nominee to perennial loser Mitt Romney. He knows what losing feels like.

Today, he knows the game's over for Republican nominee Donald Trump.

He said he will no longer campaign with Donald Trump and Mike Pence. He says that he will focus on keeping the House and Senate in Republican hands. He knows that the impact of Trump's words could damage their chances to hold onto the Congress.

Ryan on phone conference said, the Republicans "need to do what's best for their district."

Ryan pissed off the conservative members of the House. Some have called Ryan spineless and a "fucktard" for not backing the nominee.

"I am willing to endure political pressure to help protect our majority."

It seems like the House majority is at risk of being rattled by Trump's campaign.

The move -- highly unusual in US political history -- laid bare the seemingly intractable divisions now seizing the Republican Party with a month left before the presidential vote. Support for Trump among the GOP establishment, already weak amid disagreements over policy and tone, has now eroded to new lows.

Ryan joins a number of many other Republicans angry over the whole Trump ordeal. The tape were offensive and disturbing and it put a major dent in the Republican nominee's campaign.

Rumors are flying that Kellyanne Conway and Mike Pence might abandon ship. They flatly denied the rumors of them leaving the campaign.

Looks like Donald Trump isn't taking this one lightly. He went to Twitter to call upon Republicans to denounce Ryan and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ). He called upon Republicans to not support those who refuse to support him.

Republicans Want Trump Gone! He Ain't Backing Down!


The Republicans are panicking. Donald Trump really fucked up!

He is going into Sunday's debate a wounded candidate. The Republican nominee got hit with his own words. He said some derogatory comments about an Access Hollywood reporter. It was revealed that then host Nancy O'Dell was the person Trump was talking about.

Now prominent Republicans are denouncing him and some are calling for him to exit stage right.
Not Conceding.
Trump refuses to concede. He warns that the gloves are off and he will play on Bill Clinton's affairs at the townhall debate. He will focus on Hillary Clinton's emails and the status quo.

Trump slams the junk food media for ignoring the Clinton email document drop. In reality, it wasn't ignored. Wikileaks obtained emails from John Podesta, Clinton's top political strategist.

Some of the emails have Clinton talking about her positions and how much she was paid for these speeches to Wall Street. Democrats and the intelligence community blame Russia for the leaks.

Podesta dismissed the leaks. He said that the emails are altered. Most Democrats aren't concerned about the emails. They're concerned about the nasty comments made by Trump.

Bill Clinton on the campaign trail was heckled by a person. The person shouted "rapist" and the audience booed him. Clinton wasn't even fazed by the comments. T he protester was removed.

Desperation hits the conservatives. The struggling Matt Drudge links a partial video of President Barack Obama talking to members of the Harvard Business Review. He reads quotes from Black leaders and Drudge posts "Gotta have them ribs and pussy tool" on the link.

Of course, the Republicans are falling flat on their face.

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan (R-WI) was heckled by the protesters. He disinvited Trump from the annual picnic of Republicans, Pence also took a pass on the event. He went to Indianapolis to regroup.

Trump is imploding and he's gonna take Republicans with him.

Republicans will have to cut ties to Trump, The Drudge Report, Fox News, old fart Rush Limbaugh and Sean "Softball" Hannity. They're too damn toxic to the party. If they continue to listen, read or stay stuck in a bubble, prepare for more losses in the future.

Arnold Palmer Passed Away!

The legendary golfer Arnold Palmer passed away.

Golf legend and tea afficandino Arnold Palmer passed away. He is the legend of the game.

Arnie was considered the best of the best. He was the greatest player in the history of golf. He passed away in Pittsburgh tonight. He was 87 years old.

Palmer was known as "The King" of golf. The most recognizable faces in golf. Palmer won his first Masters Tournament in 1958, followed by three further wins in 1960s.

His agent, Alastair Johnston said that Arnie passed away from a heart attack. He was admitted to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center Presbyterian when he passed away.

Doc Griffin told ESPN that he was sadden by the lost of the legend. "I'm just so heartbroken about it. As much as Arnold Palmer meant to the world, he meant that much and more to me."

United States Gold Association issued a presser.
Arnold Palmer with lifelong friends Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player.
"We are deeply sadden by the death of Arnold Palmer, golf's greatest ambassador. Arnold Palmer will always be a champion, in every sense of the word, He inspired generations to love golf by sharing his competitive spirit, displaying sportsmanship, caring for golfers and golf fans, and serving as a lifelong ambassador for the sport. Our stories of him not only fill the pages of golf's history books and the walls of the [USGA] museum, but also our own personal golf memories. The game is indeed better because of him, and in so many ways, will never be the same."

Perhaps is the most memorable of Arnold Palmer was the rivalries from Jack Nicklaus and Gary Player. They were known as the "BIG THREE" in the golf community.

They won seven straight Masters titles among them from 1960 to 1966 and hit ceremonial tee shots together at the Augusta National to signal the start of the year's first major. Palmer hits his first ceremonial tee in 2007; Nicklaus joined him in 2010, and Player was added in 2012.

He will be missed among the golf community.

Softball Hannity Teases Bombshell With Julian Assange!

Sean "Softball" Hannity once wanted Julian Assange locked up. Now he's on the #FreeJulianAssange bandwagon now that Assange is attacking Democrat Hillary Clinton. 

The most annoying conservative agitator in radio and television is very desperate. He is gambling his own career as a conservative agitator. He's go all in on getting Donald Trump elected as the next president of the United States.

He hosts a man who helped leak state secrets damaging to the United States.

Julian Assange, the Australian blogger and founder of WikiLeaks got a chance to go on this show to promote his attempts at interfering in the election. He promises to leak damaging things about Hillary Clinton and the Democratic National Committee. He is whipping up a kookspiracy about an alleged DNC staffer leaking private information. He was murdered in Washington, DC and it was a botched robbery. Some are claiming a hit.

Now private emails are meant to be that. Sometimes the reactionary outweighs the rational. Most people view Assange as a despicable person. Some see him as a journalist willing to die for his cause.

To me, Assange is another privileged White person willing to bring attention to himself for click bait.

One can't help but wonder if getting into a person's private email is everyone's business.

Sean "Softball" Hannity never one to shy away from obsession. He is willing to take this guy as a source only if it hurts President Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. Hannity is comfortable with this.

Hannity is an opportunistic disease. He puts on this phony patriotism and hand wringing for click bait, ratings and ad buys. He is a self serving Republican. He is not a registered conservative as he boast on his right wing carnival.

Many in the junk food media are calling him out for hosting a man he once called for an immediate arrest. In 2010, WikiLeaks leaked classified documents and a video of mishaps in the U.S. coalition fight against terrorism. Hannity, Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter were blasting Obama for failing to arrest Assange.

The leaks lead to the arrest of Army private Chelsea Manning.

Manning is facing 35 years in military time out for giving classified documentation to foreign entities.

Assange is shacked up in the Ecuadorian Embassy in London. The Swedish government wants him on trial for allegations of sexual assault.

Edward Snowden is also holed up in the Russian Federation. He is under investigation for leaking classified information to Wikileaks.

Why does Sean "Softball" Hannity support criminality?

Respect Your Elders!

Flip-Flop: John McCain and Marco Rubio won their Republican primaries.

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) survived an insurgency attack. The two failed presidential candidates of 2008 and 2016, respectively have beaten their Republican primary challenger.

Conservatives were mounting a challenge against them.

The most notable is Kelli Ward. The insurgent was getting backing from major conservative groups. It wasn't enough. Donald Trump's last minute endorsement of McCain kind of killed the chances of Ward knocking him out.

In the beginning, Trump said that he loves the veterans, not the ones who were caught. The comment was aimed at McCain. McCain called Trump's supporters a bunch of lunatics. He said failed presidential candidates Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) were wacko birds.
Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL) lost his bid for the U.S. Senate. Defeated by Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL) in Democratic primary.
McCain who is dubbed himself as a "maverick" even said that Ward was more of a challenge than J.D. Hayworth, a former lawmaker turned conservative agitator.

Ward slipped by calling McCain old. You know Republicans are old, White and out of touch. A whipper snapper like Ward should have been more careful with attacking an elderly man.

McCain is a Vietnam veteran.

Rep. David Jolly (R-FL) was going to run for the seat but dropped out at the last minute given that Rubio was being coached into running against one of the two ethically challenged Democrats.

Rubio, the least productive lawmaker in the Senate claimed that his consideration into the race was motivated by the Orlando massacre. But actually it's the political expediency of his fellow Republicans leaders that drove him back into the race.

Mind you that Little Marco said he would retire from the senate if he failed to win the presidency. He changed his mind when Majority Leader Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) saw Florida being the firewall between a possible Clinton administration.
Former Democratic chairwoman, Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz is forgiven by the voters. She beats Tim Conva, a law professor who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT), the failed Democratic presidential candidate.
Trump's support for Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) came just in time. The House Speaker handily beats his rival in a landslide.

Also the Democrats in Florida seem to like the former DNC chairwoman. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL) survived an insurgent attack from the progressive Tim Conva.

Conva who was endorsed by Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) was hoping to upset an embattled Wasserman Schultz. She was facing harsh criticism over the handling of the DNC's debate schedule and perceived favoritism towards Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton.

Wasserman Schultz resigned from the DNC after Wikileaks illegally obtained the emails of members.

Some of the emails were criticizing Sanders and his supporters for being sore losers and nuisances.

Rubio's challenger will be Rep. Patrick Murphy (D-FL). Murphy defeated scandal plagued Rep. Alan Grayson (D-FL). Grayson and his own wife were defeated in the Democratic primary. Dena Grayson, a medical doctor and activist was defeated in the seat Alan Grayson gave up to run for the senate.

Grayson once again heads back to Florida a defeated man. Now he will be labeled perennial.

By the way, former Texas governor and perennial loser Rick Perry will be on Dancing With The Stars along with disgraced Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte.

Michelle Obama Tempted To Run For Senate!

Conservatives freak out over the speculation of First Lady Michelle Obama running for U.S. Senate

Michelle Obama, the First Lady of the United States isn't considering a run for higher office or the U.S. Senate. But the rumor that she could has conservatives freaking out over it.

The notion of Mrs. Obama to follow Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton is possible.

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) is considering a run for the governor's mansion in Springfield. He believes that Republican Bruce Rauner is inept and it's possible to defeat him. Durbin who is up for reelection in 2018 could retire, leading the way for Mrs. Obama to take an opportunity to run.

The Democratic National Committee is beginning to print bumper stickers with Michelle’s image and the slogan that she chose for the DNC – “When they go low, we go high.”

Clinton was then the First Lady of the United States.

During the final years of her husband Bill Clinton's presidency, she took residence in New York and took advantage of an open seat. Clinton would win her U.S. senate election in 2000. She would serve in the senate for 7 years before she would declare her intentions to run for president. She would lose to then Illinois Senator Barack Obama in a bitter Democratic primary.

The president credited Michelle for his victory. She is by far the most popular First Lady right now.

Obama would nominate Clinton for the State Department. At the time, Clinton's popularity was high as the Secretary of State. As soon as she declared her intentions to run for president again, her popularity plunged. Most of the events were mainly due to the fact she's a woman, Republicans and their obsession with Benghazi and her email server.

She passed Clinton and Republican icon Nancy Reagan in popularity.

Mrs. Obama had delivered the most passionate speech for Hillary Clinton. It was praised by many in the junk food media. The conservatives weren't expecting the Obamas and Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) to support Clinton's bid. Of course, they're wrong as usual.

Donald Trump can't even get members of his own party to support his own bid for president. It was revealed that Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) isn't down with the Trump team. She penned an article slamming the nominee for being unfit to be the president.

Okay let's get through the U.S. Senate race. The Toss Ups.

Ohio - Rob Portman (Leaning Republican)
Florida - Marco Rubio (Toss Up)
Pennsylvania - Pat Toomey (Leaning Republican)
Illinois - Mark Kirk (Leaning Democrat)

Here's the trailer for Southside, the movie about how Michelle Robinson met Barack Obama.
