Invasion of five-year old children without shoes

Lies are getting bigger (Fuhrer style)!
Our Orange King is sending thousands of troops to the US Mexican border for the coming "invasion"! That's what the Trump network (aka FoxyNews) is advising - and they're doing their best to remind viewers constantly about the upcoming invasion.....? The worst part - people living thousands of miles from the border - believe this is an imminent threat!


In the meantime, the Orange King continues to spend your money - on campaign trips, needless posting of troops, National Guard and more. And when there's no more money - he'll reduce Medicare, S.S. and anything else that might help the middle class!

And to extend his exposure before election day, the Orange King serves up bigger and more lies - how about the U.S. "birthright" challenge: "we're the only country" etc. BIG LIE!

Crooked voting machines; sending wrong voting addresses or moving polling places (especially if there are students or minorities involved)  - I find it so hard to understand why the Orange King has such devoted followers; do they really believe he cares about them?

Mendacity rules - hard to laugh......

Haven't posted since August 24 - so depressed at what's happening in this country. Mendacity is still the rule - and I feel hopeless since I don't have political clout or money to counter the lies.
The orange king's mantra: Deny, Deny, Deny is now chanted by all his courtiers and slaves.
And the orange king continues to gloat over his court's accomplishments while campaigning (at our expense) and criticizing/calling names of any who might dare to speak up against him.
For a brief moment I had hopes that Flake and Collins would show some gumption. Collins is either stupid or getting paid off by McConnell and Flake apparently wants to run for president so he's avoiding stepping on toes and antagonizing possible sources of funding.
And Manchin? A Democrat? Where coal is god? Impossible
So I will cast my vote in November and hope that the Democratic Party doesn't shoot itself in the foot before then and mess things up.

Wouldn't it be great if Beto gets elected?

LIES untruths, distortions, fabrications, misstatements, fibs, LIES LIES and more LIES!

The "lies" finally became "print worthy" in  the Washington Post! Previous mentions included "untruths" "distortions" and assorted euphemisms ascribed to the Orange King since he ascended to the throne. But after more than 8000 well documented lies ,WAPO decided it was time call a lie  a lie - in easy to see black and white print.
Sarah, the Orange King's lie purveyor took offense when a reporter asked how could the King deny hush payments for his sexual adventures when there are tapes recording his words.....Sarah's lie: I can tell you the "king" (she calls him President) did nothing wrong!!!!

As usual, the New Yorker magazine's cartoonist Kuper nails it:

Reality checks:
Lindsey Graham in January, 1999 - pontificating about President Clinton and reasons for impeachment:

“So the point I’m trying to make is you don’t even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic, if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role......... 

Because impeachment is not about punishment.  Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office.”

Really? My goodness Senator Graham - you don't think it's necessary to clean the Orange King's White Castle? What dictionary does Graham use for defining honor and integrity?

In 2016, Mitch McConnell refused to hold hearings on President Obama's Supreme Court nominee. He said it would be wrong to confirm a nominee during an election year……really?

But it's ok to hold hearings on a flawed wannabe judge who's buddies are refusing to release all his former writings? Like you can't mess with the President because he's so busy ruining the country (oops, spell check :I meant running) and he doesn't have time to appear or prepare for court? Yeah - he's working on his golf game.

Just another day in the swampy kingdom we call Congress.......

Nasty Nunes and friends in the Swamp World

Devin Nunes has  made it clear that Congress’s #1 job is bending over backwards for his Orange King - forget about the oath to his country! Hopefully the leaked recordings will bring him down the same way the clandestine tapes worked at a Romney fund raiser when he was aiming for the White House.

And what’s new with Half-Pence? Space has become his shtick and he claims that once upon a time it was “peaceful and uncontested” but now? Oh boy – it’s  “crowded and adversarial.” So,  sucking up to his Orange King's request, he wants to hurry up and create a new military branch – the Space Force. Oy!

But on the other hand - we can put Half Pence in a spacesuit and send him to outer space to examine the real estate. Maybe he can grab a few bargains while prices are low?

OMG – what’s next?

And grab your handkerchief to weep for our Secretary of Education, Poor Betsy DeVos . One of her 4 yachts, moored on U.S. lakes, slipped away from its mooring, got a few scratches and needed repair work….oh dear – do you think she can afford the repairs? Oh yes – she has them registered outside the U.S. – so she doesn’t have to pay use and other taxes levied on stateside moorings. How the rich get richer……

Changing the subject to tastier items:

Don’t plan on a European beer trip this year – not a good summer over there.

 U.K. had to ration beer during the World Cup because of a carbon dioxide shortage, but now  it’s even worse -  a barley shortage (due to extreme heat – crops drying up all over Europe) will result in sky high prices for consumers.

Since April the price of French barley has shot up by 35 percent.  

So you’ll drink something else? Price of gin and whiskey -  made with barley – will also rise.

But – there’s a silver lining: winemakers are happy since the hot summer will be great for quantity and quality of this year’s wines.

P.S.No shortage of beer if you’re remaining stateside this year; at the end of June there were  6,655 craft breweries in the U.S! (30 years ago there were less than 200.)

MENDACITY - from the Orange King's perspective

E.J. Dionne, columnist for the Washington Post writing about the Orange King:
(Trump's) "theory seems to be that a lie is as good as the truth as long as the right people believe it."

The King's newest saying for rallies:  "Stick with us. (Trump Kingdom) Don't believe the crap you see from these people, the fake news. ... What you're seeing and what you're reading is not what's happening."....
Guess this is a variation of his mantra: "Believe Me".....

So when he says making America great means manufacturing stuff here, hiring only Americans it doesn't matter that:
King Donald Trump branded clothing is not made in the US. Stuff in Trump Kingdom hotels is not made in the US. Ivanka Trump’s now defunct fashion lines were all made abroad. (New Yorker satire writer Andy Borowitz says Ivanka is now ready to be a Business Professor at Trump University)
And, most workers at the Orange King's properties (like Mar-a-Lago) are foreign workers (hastily arranged worker visas or illegals) since why should the King pay real living wages?
It's all in the family: Prince Eric Trump hires foreign workers at the King's winery in Virginia.....and the list goes on.

Be aware:  the King is so sure of Deplorables'  allegiance that he's got workers in China now busy sewing  2020 Trump Pence banners…….!!

Wondering if the King's courtiers will go ahead with the newest Welfare program for farmers?  Royalty and  soy beans?

Oops - Pootie boy not coming to visit the King before elections? Does he smell defeat for his puppet?  Sounds good to me!

Putin the Puppeteer (also holds mortgages on Orange King, princes and princess???)

Puppet showtime!


Anyone read George Will's column two days ago about the "sad embarrassing wreck of a man" who occupies the Oval playpen?....
And how the collusion with Russia is "hiding in plain sight"? 

Mr. Will started his column about the Helsinki meeting: "America's child president had a playdate with a KGB alumnus, who surely enjoyed providing daycare."

So when do we find out what Putin's hold on the Orange King amounts to?

Sorry, no Trump tax returns for you great Americans. Don't ask why - there must be a "good" reason.

Perhaps, as Mr. Will points out: his "incompetence as a businessman tumbled him into unsavory financial dependencies on Russians. A still more sinister explanation might be that the Russians have something else, something worse to keep him compliant." 

So the King tried to engage in damage control after spouting off in Helsinki. And our esteemed members of Congress - got up from their chairs, swished their rear ends a bit - and sat down again. After all he repaired his  "mistake" about not supporting US Intelligence outfits:  big double negative? Please substitute wouldn't for would - right? All's well.

But - one day later, Orange King still gushing over his pals in Russia.

BIG SCREAM! Need a Beto in every state - are you registered to vote in November? Make sure everything's in order.

Pay Attention!!!

I am really paying too much attention to what's going on around me - and it does affect my health - but the alternative? Ignore this terrible administration? Ignore a bunch of Republican jokers visiting Moscow on July 4 to assure them that everything's hunky dory in the good old USA? Reassure the Russians that we  believe everything they say - of course they had nothing to do with our election?

And we certainly don't expect any future meddling from them in upcoming elections?

 And the Orange King continues to rant - it's all about money and tv ratings - who cares about the USA?  

D.C. swamp? That's where he does his washing. Oops, he just pulled out some messy Pruitt swamp weed - after a record number of unethical/ridiculous extravaganzas.

And Stephen Miller reigns supreme with toadying Beauregard Sessions obliging Miller's wish for an all-white Scandinavian nation. Tan colored little children and their moms? Sorry - all filled up here.

The Orange King and his courtiers spout lies every day - Herr Goebbels would've been proud of their technique!

There’s the old story of the frog sitting in a pot of water on the stove: As the temperature rises, the change is too gradual for the frog to detect the danger and escape to safety.

It's time to get out of the pot. Don't just nod your head and agree. Make sure your friends, relatives and other important people are registered to vote! And if you're in Texas - vote for Beto! He really cares about people and this country.
