Fox News (entertainment news according to Shepard Smith) has not been referred to a propaganda machine by Ralph Peters, a Fox News strategic analyst. Whatever you phrase you think accurately describes it, let’s be clear Fox is not real news. The people they hire know it, the smarter segment of the country knows it, the joke is on the people watching it including the President. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/20/business/media/fox-news-analyst-ralph-peters.html Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread is Just Entertainment News

I am sure the Italians won’t mind. Is the US really in a place to decide the capitals of other countries??? What other countries can we do this too? Trump (not at upset by the Russia investigation that subpoenaed his financial records or his cohort that pleaded guilty), or the backlash of drilling in a National Park or his supporting a known pedophile has decided that he can now draw maps and change where cities are… based on no authority whatsoever. This is completely clear and rational thinking. He is not deranged or unhinged or colluding because the president cannot … Continue reading This Wednesday Political Post Has Changed the Capital of Italy to Milan

“Chances for government shutdown rising,” according to the Hill. http://thehill.com/homenews/house/362256-chances-for-government-shutdown-rising What…I thought that basically happened the moment Trump took office. I guess this just makes it official because now it won’t just be a clusterf*ck of poor legislative agenda, gutting vital agencies and general tomfoolery…now federal employees also won’t be getting paid. So we have 8 days to see what will happen…an extension, GOP addressing DACA, Democrats caving to GOP tax agenda that only helps 20 extremely rich people, wolves unleashed on the capital…anything goes… Welcome to Wednesday:) Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread Thought the Government Had Already Shut Down

Yesterday, Trump decided to support Roy Moore over the several (then) underage women that Roy preyed upon…Trump cites Moore’s denial. Most of you will remember that Trump was in a similar situation himself. Several accusers, his solitary denial…as result many people voted for him including women…and some of Moore’s accusers voted for Trump as well. They voted for a man who himself was accused by several women of assault. Did they believed him? Yes/No, it doesn’t matter. The question that is more intriguing to me is did they think that Trump would actually recognize their best interests? As a woman, … Continue reading In this Wednesday political thread, birds of a feather flock together…

There is an old television trope…if you have two really unpopular characters…you put them together in a relationship in an effort to cancel out their separate horribleness and boost their popularity. The GOP…has decided to roll this into their legislative agenda. They took two unpopular pieces of legislation…their tax bill that benefits 1% of the population and their Obamacare repeal that benefits no one. Alone these two would have a hard time passing but together…they’re gangbusters 🙂 Welcome to Wednesday. https://www.wsj.com/articles/senate-gop-adds-health-care-twist-to-tax-overhaul-plan-1510710204 Continue reading This Wednesday Political Thread is a two for one deal

In the supposedly hotly contested Virginia governor’s race, Northam won +9 decided victory over Ed Gillespie’s Trump-like campaign. Apparently sanctuary cities and confederate statues held a lesser value to Virginians over death from poor healthcare and being shot in church from rampant gun violence. Democrat performed well across the board which means winning the 2018 mid term elections is more of a possibility. How will the GOP respond?…my guess is by fervently pushing tax cuts for the rich. And where does that leave Trump? His approval rating is toxically low, his endorsements have little to no effect and Mueller is … Continue reading In this Wednesday Political Thread, Virginia is for lovers not for Donald Trump SAD!
