Pedophilia, A Republican Family Value

Roy Moore is this year's poster child for the many Republicans who have won elections by wrapping themselves in the flag, quoting passages from the Bible, and proclaiming that they uphold family values in public while they molest children behind closed doors guarded by zealots and ideologues with closed minds.

Pedophilia is not restricted to Republican politicians, of course, but they alone have elevated public support for that perversion to an art form and deemed it unimportant when the outcome of an election is at stake.

Using A Corker To Plug A Leak

Yesterday the GOP used a Corker to plug one of the many leaks in it's "tax reform" scam.

Sen. Bob Corker (R-TN), who had previously opposed the legislation on the grounds that it would raise the deficit, changed his mind. He claims that he has negotiated a trigger that will kick in additional revenues should the GOP's targets not be met.

A trigger, of course, is just another way for Republicans to flimflam the public and avoid accountability when the deficit they rail against increases; and it will increase as it always does whenever they are in power.

Which brings me to this...

Three men were in a boat, and the oars began to leak.

My father used to say that in response to ridiculous situations or events he encountered.

As a child, I didn't understand this clever metaphor; but, now that I'm an adult and the GOP has control of all three branches of our government, it makes perfect sense.

Donald Trump, Indian Giver (If the pejorative fits…)

Yesterday Donald Trump held an event ostensibly to honor WWII Navajo Code Talkers; but, in true Trumpian fashion, it was actually another opportunity for him to attack his perceived enemies for the benefit of his mouth-breathing base.

The event was staged in front of a portrait of Andrew Jackson, who was responsible for the Trail of Tears, a a series of forced removals of Native American nations from their ancestral homelands, in which thousands perished.

Donald J. Trump is an ass.

Pocahontas was a pre-teen who was kidnapped, held hostage & raped by European invaders. Stop using her name as a racial slur & how dare you insult these brave Native men who risked their lives for this country. https://twitter.com/ABCPolitics/status/935235170487201794 …

U.S. Congress Inaction - A Brief Report

Note: The word Inaction in the title is not a typo. It's the lead-in to the bare facts exposed in today's post.

Having passed absolutely no meaningful legislation since the 2016 election, Republicans are feverishly working to short-change the middle class in time for Christmas with a tax cut for the wealthy that is projected to leave a permanent stain on the bottom half of the economic pyramid.

That's what happens when Santa Claus slides down chimneys to bring presents only to rich little boys and girls.

Meanwhile, in an under-cover maneuver, Congress used a tax-supported slush fund to pay over $17 million to settle cases against its members whose hands had reached into places other than the pockets of the electorate.

Isn't it touching to realize that members of Congress can accomplish so little for the good of the country yet manage to cover their assets?

Insanity and Trickle-Down Economics

Dear Republicans,

Since the 1980s the GOP has worked unceasingly to pass tax cuts for the wealthy, claiming that they will create jobs and help the middle class despite incontrovertible evidence that they do neither.

If insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result, your slavish devotion to those who support trickle-down economic theory suggests strongly that you are insane.

However, if voting for the GOP does not mean you are insane, there's another adjective that definitely fits.

Little Donnie's Tired, and I'm Sick and Tired of Him

Since Donald Trump has been in office, he has undermined the rule of law, coddled dictators abroad and hate mongers at home, alienated allies, and signed executive orders which threaten the very viability of the planet.

The world is much better off when Little Donnie is asleep.
