Our Patriotic Moment Has Come - Trump is Toast



As House Speaker Nancy Pelosi plans to hold a vote on Impeachment this Thursday, and as the so-called President is taunted while watching the Washington Nationals play baseball with chants of "Lock Him Up" from the crowd,as well as by protestors when he visited Chicago today. Have we reached our patriotic turn of the tide at last in this country? Dare we hope that this is the beginning of the end of Trump's reign of insanity?

Is this like the moment in Casablanca when Lazslo tells the band to play Le Marseillaise?

The Blue Wave Was Real


Yes indeed, there was a Blue Wave during election 2018 and some of the races are still ongoing. There were some disappoints to be sure: Ted Cruz beat out Dem rock star Beto O'Rourke for senate in Texas; insidious Marsha Blackburn summoned both Trump and Pence to Chattanooga, Tennessee, for a huge last minute rally to help her blast Democratic moderate Phil Bredesen; and somehow racist Steve King hung on in western Iowa while the rest of the state turned solid blue. Due in part to election day chaos, Dems Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams are barely hanging onto governor races in Florida and Georgia respectively while recounts and lawsuits are ongoing.

But in spite of those blips, there WAS a Blue Wave. The House of Representatives will now be have Dem Leadership on every committee and they are ready to investigate Trump and all his cronies in depth. TThe Blue Wave was great for women and minorities, sending a diverse group of House newbies to Washington to speak for the people starting in January. Dems have turned nearly every New England state blue from their state legislatures up, with only Republican Senator Collins hanging on in Maine. Some blue states are almost solid blue now, such as California, which ousted many Republicans at every level. And there were wild cards - a seat pickup in Oklahoma, and a vote in Idaho to expand Medicaid.

Trump Shames the U.S. at G-20 Meeting

The illegitimate President of the United States went to Europe for the G20 Summit Meeting, but his real goal seems to have been to hook-up with his bromance partner, Vladimir Putin. Trump showed his true colors and may have committed treason - again - by accepting Putin's lame denial about hacking the 2016 election, which contradicts America's own Intelligence community as well as information from out allies.

But when has Trump ever understood who our friends are and who our enemies are? He only wants to take care of number one - himself - and he owes money and the Presidency to Russia and Putin. If people didn't understand the meaning of "Kompromat" before the G20, surely they can understand it now.

And on top of all that, he took Ivanka with him and she sat in his place during some of the meetings. Ivanka has never been elected to public office, nor does she have any government experience. Dictators do things like this, not American Presidents. We don't live in a monarchy, but Trump still believes he is King and Ivanka is Daddy's Princess.

Trump Tweets #Covfefe At Midnight

photo covfefe.jpg

On the same day it was reported that Trump's lawyers want to screen all his tweets, he made one of his funniest tweet gaffes ever!

Just after midnight, he let loose a strange sentence fragment complaining about press coverage, only the last word was the mysterious "Covfefe." The word trended all night and yet no one from the White House could delete it because Trump apparently fell asleep with his phone (maybe while sitting on the toilet?).

Twitter immediately exploded with hilarious memes. Note that the word "Rosebud" was also trending at the same time - that is the last word in the film Citizen Kane spoken by the main character, an extremely wealthy but unhappy man who was remembering a sled he left in the snow on his last happy day of childhood. The cryptic parallel was obvious and made by twitter fans over and over.

UPDATE: Donald Trump chose not to explain the next day what he meant by "Covfefe," merely tweeting:



It was the unfortunate Spokesman Sean Spicer who came out for his daily press briefing to suffer questions about the Trump tweet, giving it a note of high seriousness that "Covfefe" did not deserve.

"The president and a small group of people know exactly what he meant." ~ Sean Spicer







Hillary Clinton quipped:



And later Hillary tweeted this retort:

#RussiaGate Heats Up for Trump

Things are getting stranger as more facts as well as speculation are being tossed around about the Trump Administration's connection to Russia both after the election as well as long before. Everyone in his Cabinet seems to have had some contact with Russian operatives, even Jeff Sessions who is now Attorney General who last week recused himself from any future investigations. And it is pretty clear that the FBI and NSA are looking at the situation as a grave matter of National Security.

From GuardianUK: "Will Russia connection become the Trump administration's Watergate?"
The US president’s joint address to Congress this week was well received but was rapidly overshadowed by revelations that his attorney general, Jeff Sessions, had twice spoken with the Russian ambassador during last year’s presidential election.
As it has emerged that other members of the Trump campaign – including his son-in-law Jared Kushner – also met with the ambassador, Sergey Kislyak, the Kremlin connection seems destined to be the putative scandal that will not go away for the White House.
...Congressman Adam Schiff, the top Democrat on the House intelligence committee, has called for Sessions to quit, saying he “clearly misled” the Senate about contacts with Russian officials, and demanded that a special prosecutor be appointed.
Schiff also accused the FBI director, James Comey, of withholding crucial information about its investigation into Russian meddling in the election, and raised the prospect of subpoenaing the agency.









From Washington Post:
Sessions failed to tell the truth during his confirmation hearings about meeting with Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak, and allegedly no one in the White House knew of those meetings until The Washington Post broke the story last Wednesday.
During his confirmation hearing, Sessions was asked one question but answered another, and in so doing, did not tell the truth. Sen. Al Franken (D-Minn.) asked Sessions, “If there is any evidence that anyone affiliated with the Trump campaign communicated with the Russian government in the course of this campaign, what will you do?”
This was a prospective question, with Franken asking the likely next attorney general how he would handle such allegations if intelligence officials produced such evidence. Sessions chose to answer it this way: “I’m not aware of any of those activities. I have been called a surrogate at a time or two in that campaign, and I did not have communications with the Russians, and I’m unable to comment on it.”

Trump himself wondered about possible government wiretaps inside Trump Tower, which would mean that the government definitely has suspicians of espionage. Trump wrongly aimed the blame on former President Obama, who never could have planted bugs anywhere because Presidents don't have the power to order wiretaps. Strangely the one taking up for Obama is James Comey, who just swayed the election to Trump with his erstwhile investigation of Hillary's emails.
