It's been a month since my last "vent" - the political garbage spewed by the Orange King has been so overwhelming I couldn't decide where to scream first. And where does one begin to complain about the King's silent Congressional courtiers sitting on their hands as this country goes deeper and deeper into the choking swamp fumes?
Alas, the press is doing their share - reporting the King's lies and fairy tales - but never describing him accurately: a disgusting, inhumane sick liar suffering from a number of mental illnesses. Whatever happened to the 25th amendment?
To be fair - journalists/reporters are fearful of losing press credentials if they're entirely honest; although they get them back, it's a pain going through the process. The "press conference" is a thing of the past - no way to ask questions with follow-ups - when you're outside with a chopper motor providing background noise. So the King throws out his lies - no questions please - and they're reported without any context.
A few of the recent horrific Stephen Miller Goebbels generated actions are beyond belief: like the kids here for medical treatment - paying their way - serving as research material for US based scientists getting letters telling them get out of here in 30 days - no ifs, buts. etc. Digest that!!
Or how about the recent rule by the Dept of HHS - "Protecting Statutory Conscience Rights in Health Care" which in addition to further throttling abortion providers also states if there's government funding, physicians can't treat ectopic pregnancies, provide cancer care that might result in infertility and more.... In other words, Big Brother Orange Hair is in charge of medical care - not physicians. (He went to Trump University Medical School?).
And the parade of emoluments continues - the recent Irish spectacle of Half Pence staying at the Orange King's hotel for some Dublin meetings - necessitating long motor processions hours away with the lame excuse of visiting his grandmother's family home.....guess who's paying for all this? Most enjoyable: the small town of Doonbeg (where Half Pence supposedly has family) was all ready for him - a few policemen - but no town people showed up! How wonderful!!!
And the Orange King's funniest weirdo trick of the week: changing the course of Hurricane Dorian - sending it to Alabama with a sharpie. Besides being ridiculous - it's illegal - subject to jail and fines.
Impeach or 25th amendment - either will do - just get rid of him.
