Quick cure for hearing/memory

Senator Perdue is now saying his leader did not say shithole.
Makes me wonder - first he said he didn't recall hearing that expression at the meeting - where Senator Durbin and Graham emphatically recalled hearing the word.
(One well known journalist suggested that he get a hearing aid.)
Next, on a TV talk show Perdue  regained his memory/hearing and said his leader did not say shithole.  (Obvious why he's against a health plan - he cured himself!)

In October last year, Senator Perdue stated that the crushing national debt  was the greatest threat to the security of the United States. So, in December 2017, Senator Perdue voted for a tax plan that will increase the national debt a few  trillion dollars. That kind of logic matches his memory and hearing problems.

Perdue's background - a specialist in outsourcing jobs.  (Anyone remember his well-spoken leader's promise:  "We're bringing back jobs"?) Perdue "outsourced" thousands of jobs in the South - including Haggar and Pillowtex.  Reports on the Pillotex firm folding stated he managed to reap millions for himself  while 4000 lost their jobs in one day in North Carolina.

What's next? Who knows;  the gutless, spineless collection of characters inhabiting Washington offices does not instill optimism.....hope....good times....not even the status quo.

It's hitting the fan!!!!!

OMG - so glad Senator Durbin was at the White House meeting and corroborated Das Trumpf's words. (Of course, when potus tweeted this morning he claimed he didn't say shithole!)
Also, last night I was delighted that Lawrence O'Donnell reminded TV viewers that Das Trumpf was only continuing in his father's footsteps: daddy was a member of the Klu Klux Klan  and marched in New York City  (1927)  protesting the City's predominantly Catholic police force.
And let's not forget later years when Donald was a big boy and helping daddy to manage their real estate holdings, he was taught how to keep apartments lilywhite - no blacks need apply.
Das Trumpf a racist? Heavens to Betsy!

When will our esteemed representatives in Washington rise up and say/do something?

And no visit to London? Doesn't like the location of the Embassy? The truth:
Soooo afraid of the awful reception he'd get. They may have voted for Brexit - but they're not about to damage their diplomatic standing by recognizing a shithole purveyor! 

BTW: NPR couldn't say shithole on air - but they can constantly repeat
the name Arpaio - the convicted (and pardoned by Das Trumpf) former racist, disgusting Arizona sheriff . Guess they want him to have more name recognition now that he's running for the Senator from Arizona?

An over the top "GENIUS"

It's been a long time since I posted on this blog; no fun writing when you're sooo depressed with the shenanigans in Washington DC.
A warm cruise in the Caribbean at the end of December with daughter Joan and granddaughters Sarah and Miriam helping to celebrate my 89th birthday was therapeutic.
So back to the DC  swamps populated by reptilian creatures who, like other snakes don't understand the concept of country over party.  (E-mails to my sad substitute for a senator -Cornyn- are
occasionally answered by form letters that have nothing to do with my questions or subject matter.)
And almost all his Republican congressional friends continue to sit on their rear ends looking for ways to distract and even "lie" about any evidence that points to messing around with the last presidential election.

 After a few days of the media's juicy reporting on Wolff's new book, Fire and Fury  
Das Trumpf 's riotous tweet today is marvelous - (where are his handlers?)
I'm a genius....and a very stable genius at that".....and of course he noted one of his chief assets:
being, like, really smart"......
This genius tweet takes the cake; any doubts about his psychiatric "shortcomings" have just been dumped into the ever filling DC swamp.

And  yesterday the "Bobbsey" twins Grassley/Graham came out with their ridiculous, obfuscating garbage about the Steele dossier - after a year of wasting government time/money with their investigations to see if they could keep Das Trumpf safe from harm and protect their own needy pockets.
It's all about money -  as Joel Gray sang in Cabaret: "Money makes the world go around....A buck or a pound Is all that makes the world go around, That clinking clanking sound Can make the world go 'round."

Or, if you prefer Mamma Mia: Money, money, money, Always sunny, In a rich man's world

What a way to begin 2018 - looking for some political miracles - like Beto O'Rourke for Texas Senator  -   (bye bye Ted!)
