I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!

Colin Powell Slams Trump – “Hasn’t he read the First Amendment?” – Video

Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright and Colin Powell were interviewed by Fareed Zakari on CNN on Sunday, and although both had very important views on where this country is going, Colin Powell has some pointed words on Donald Trump and his leadership style.

When Fareed asked if Trump can be a “moral leader for the rest of the world,” Powell let his feelings be known.

I don’t know that he can do that because right now that is not the way he’s acting. Let me give you an example. My favorite three words in our constitution is the first three words, We The People, We The People. But recently it’s become me the president as opposed to We the people. And you see things that should not be happening. How could the president of the United States get up and say that the media is the enemy of Americans? Hasn’t he read the First Amendment? You’re not supposed to like everything the Press says or what anyone says in the First Amendment, that’s why we have the First Amendment, to protect that type of speech.

The former Secretary of State continued;

And I hope the President can come to the realization that he should really stop insulting people. And I used this two years ago when I said I could not vote for him in the 2016 election. Why? He insulted everybody. He insulted African Americans, he insulted women, he insulted women, he insulted immigrants, he insulted our best friends around the world. He insulted all of his fellow candidates upon the stage during the debates. And I don’t think that’s what should be coming out of the President of the United States, but I don’t see anything that’s changed in the last few years.”

The ‘Kavanaugh Beer’ Commercial is Here – Watch


It was a perfect Beer commercial waiting to happen, and who else is better equipped to make such a commercial than Stephen Colbert?

Well, maybe Budweiser. But Colbert made the first attempt and I must say I am impress.

The commercial began with Kavanaugh’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, when he admitted… over… and over again… that he like beer.

“Yes, we drank beer. My friends and I, the boys and girls. Yes, we drank beer. I liked beer. I still like beer. We drank beer.”

Watch – Trump Drags Toilet Paper Onto Air Force 1

If I haven’t said it before, hear me now and hear me good. Donald Trump is full of sh..it! He is a national and international disgrace! A joke!

The funniest thing though is he is surrounded by so many people and no one, I repeat, NO ONE tried to save him from this embarrassment.

Watch as the so-called Leader of the Free World boards Air Force 1, toilet paper in tow!

I hope he washed his hands.

Republican Orrin Hatch Laughs at Women – Tells Them to “Grow UP” – Video

This Brett Kavanaugh nomination process is really allowing Americans and the world to see the true color of Republicans. 

In a recent encounter between Republican Senator Orin Hatch and women protesters who were demanding their voice against Kavanaugh be heard, the senator, an elected official, laughed in their face, waved them off and told them to “grow up!”

Kavanaugh’s nomination and the multiple sexual allegations and sexual misconduct charges against him have given victims of sexual abuse a new voice to share their stories. But Republicans have turned a blind eye and a deaf ear to these victims in their unending support of Kavanaugh.

And this disgusting display from Orin Hatch exemplifies the very low place this nation is in, thanks in part to Donald Trump and his Republican party.

Republican Supreme Court Justice Cannot Support Brett Kavanaugh

Republicans led by Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell are moving at break neck speed to get Brett Kavanaugh in the Supreme Court. But it is the words of another Republican and former Supreme Court Judge thats making news today.

Justice John Paul Stevens, a onetime supporter of Brett Kavanaugh, has changed his mind and now says that Kavanaugh should not be confirmed as the next Justice on the Supreme Court. Roberts mentioned Kavanaugh’s disgraceful performance during his confirmation hearings, where he clearly expressed political biases as his reason for disqualifying Brett.

Meanwhile, Republicans have already set a vote on Friday and a final vote on Saturday to put Kavanaugh on the Court.

Professor on GOP – “These People Think We are Boo-Boo the Fool” – Video

In an appearance on MSNBC, Professor Eddie Glaude, MSNBC Contributor was visibly upset at the blatant in-your-face crap that Mitch McConnel and the Republicans are force-feeding the American people.

Glaude said that he was “viscerally angry” because Mitch McConnell “sat there and lied!” Glaude was referring to the way Republicans are fast-tracking Kavanaugh’s confirmation, willfully ignoring established standards in his nomination.

McConnell has decided that the American people do not deserve to know the truth about the FBI investigation into Kavanaugh’s sexual abuse accusations.

“[McConnell] is the poster child of a kind of hypocrisy that is simply eroding the very fabric of this country,” Glaude continued. “These people think that we are Boo-Boo the fool. They think Americans are just stupid… We have to do something here, otherwise we are witnessing the twilight of our civilization!”

Mitch McConnell Confirms Kavanaugh’s FBI Report Will Be Kept Secret from Public

WASHINGTON, DC - OCTOBER 02: Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) (C) talks to reporters with Sen. John Barrasso (R-WY) (L) and Sen. John Thune (R-SD) following the weekly Senate Republican policy luncheon at the U.S. Capitol October 02, 2018 in Washington, DC. Senate GOP leaders agreed last week with the Judiciary Committee to allow the FBI to conduct a one-week investigation into sexual assault allegations against Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh before the Senate votes on his confirmation.

The Huffington Post is  that the report from the FBI’s background investigation into the sexual assault allegations leveled against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh will be shown only to members of the Senate, Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) announced Tuesday.

“We will get an FBI report soon. It will be made available to each senator and only senators will be allowed to look at it. That’s the way these reports are always handled,” McConnell told reporters on Capitol Hill, noting that background investigations are typically added to a nominee’s file for senators to access.

Still, there’s an argument to be made that the extraordinary nature of the current situation merits the public at least being able to view the report’s results.

“There’s a growing consensus in the Senate that when the FBI’s investigation is complete, the finding should be released publicly with any personal information redacted,” Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) said.

Jeff Flake Acting ‘flakey’ on Kavanaugh’s Vote

Just when you start having some hope that Jeff Flake would do the right thing and objectively look at the FBI report before making his decision, he smacks you in the face with the realization that he is a Republican and as such, will do exactly what his party demands – get in line and vote to confirm accused sexual molester, Brett Kavanaugh to the Supreme Court.

CNN’s Manu Raju confronted Flake today and asked a few pointed questions. One question was to state his thoughts on Trump’s recent mocking of Kavanaugh’s accuser, Christie Blasey Ford. Flake courageously stepped to the plate and called Trump’s statements “appalling.”

But it was Flake’s answer to the question about whether Brett Kavanaugh was totally honest during his sworn testimony that took the wind out of the #Metoo sails. Flake’s answer clearly showed that his mind is already made up and barring any unforeseen circumstance in the FBI report, Flake will vote ‘yes’ on Kavanaugh’s confirmation.

Raju asked, “You said that if there are demonstrable falsehoods and lies, that would be disqualifying. There have been instances where it appears he was not fully forthcoming with the Senate Judiciary Committee about his past and his antics in college. Does that bother you?”

Flake replied, “I don’t know specifically what you are talking about.”

Flake then goes on in a desperate attempt to down-play Kavanaugh’s drinking problem. He settled on this answer:

“The drinking think, I don’t know how to gauge that, I really don’t.”

He continued. “I’ve said all along, you know if anybody lies under oath, that not something we can deal with.” Flake then concluded “exaggerating or diminishing your successes or failures is something a lot of people are used to.”

Kavanaugh just got a pass from Flake. Next stop, The Supreme Court… despite what the FBI report says.

Sen. Jeff Flake – “We Can’t Have This On The Court” – Video

He is one of a few Senators who holds the Brett Kavanaugh-for-Supreme-Court nomination in his hands. His decision can sink or help Kavanaugh sail through to a seat on the Supreme Court. So when Arizona Senator Jeff Flake talk these days, people tend listen and try to guess which way he will vote on Kavanaugh’s nomination in a few days.

In a recent interview by the National Constitution Center, the Senator spoke about the recent Kavanaugh testimony where Kavanaugh loudly praised himself as a virgin choir boy who did nothing wrong, and one who certainly did not sexually assault Christie Blasey Ford when he was seventeen years old.

“I was very troubled by the tone of the remarks,” Flake says, referring to the obviously partisan way the judge berated the Democrats on the panel for asking about the sexual abuse accusations against him.

“The initial defense that Judge Kavanaugh gave was something… like I told my wife, I hope I wouldn’t sound that indignant if I felt I was unjustly maligned.”

But then it went on, and the interaction with the members was sharp and partisan. And that concerns me. And I tell myself you give a little leeway because of what he’s been through.

On the other hand, we can’t have this on the court. We simply can’t

The World Just Laughed At Us – #ThanksTRUMP

“The world is laughing at us,” is one of Donald Trump’s favorite dog whistle when he wants to convey the lie that he is the best thing to happen to America since sliced bread! And often, his supporters buy the lie.

But during his America First speech to world leaders at the United Nations yesterday, Trump apparently forgot who his audience was. He forgot he wasn’t talking to base and tried patting himself on the back for a job well done. 

“My administration is the best thing to happen to America since sliced bread…,” well, no. Trump didn’t actually say that, but he might as well.

“In less than two years, my administration has accomplished more than almost any administration in the history of our country.” World leaders from 193 countries, laughed at the American president, and rightly so.

So next time Donald Trump stand in front of his base and proclaim “the world is laughing at us,” we can all agree. We’ve seen it with our own eyes and we have Donald Trump to thank.

All together now, #ThanksTRUMP

Trump Defender Leaves CNN After Report That He Spiked Pregnant Woman’s Drink With Abortion Pill

Every time I think we’ve hit rock bottom, this happens…

On Friday, Splinter broke news that Miller, a former Trump aide stands accused of giving a pregnant stripper who he had been involved with an abortion pill without her knowledge.

According to court filings, Miller “visited her at her apartment with a Smoothie beverage. Unbeknownst to Jane Doe, the Smoothie contained an abortion bill. [sic] The pill induced an abortion, and Jane Doe wound up in a hospital emergency room, bleeding heavily and nearly went into a coma. The unborn child died.”

Miller denied the accusations.

“To be clear, none of this is is in any way true,” he said. “That doesn’t matter however in the current court of public opinion, where fraudulent statements and a lack of factual support rule the day as long as it fits into a tweet.”
