Please. Keep tweeting. This is not a surprise. I’ve been saying for a year that President Trump is pretty much a tweet away from major legal issues. The New York Times is reporting that special counsel Robert Mueller, along with everything else that has been made available to him, is perusing the president’s Twitter feed to glean items for his obstruction case. He has plenty of material to play with. Where to start? The Times, citing three people briefed on... Read more
I have made no secret of the fact that I have been endlessly disappointed with the evangelical community and a host of evangelical “leaders,” in this age of Trump. In fact, my greatest objections to Trump are based on his character, as I feel he is neither a moral, nor a just man, and as such, cannot be a moral or a just leader. The fact that he has proven to be utterly incompetent, with no grasp on even the... Read more
If you’re not getting that sinking feeling yet, just wait. The only ones now who have seen President Trump’s acquiescence to Russian President Vladimir Putin on the world stage in Helsinki, Finland on July 16, have seen his maniacal, unconstructive tweets, and who are witnessing his economy-busting tariff slash bailout combo punch, and who aren’t convinced that he’s under direct orders to weaken our nation, are those who have been indoctrinated. And no, I don’t think this is an overreaction... Read more
We should not let anything or anyone distract us from the fact that our greatest geopolitical foes, Russia, launched an influence campaign against our nation, in an attempt to manipulate the outcome of the 2016 election. No, nobody “hacked” into voting machines, or anything so blatant. It was an influence campaign. Scores of Russian “bots” flooded online polls, ran social media accounts and in general created an atmosphere that was ripe for controlling the narrative around the election. To be... Read more
You get a bailout… and you get a bailout… and you get a bailout! So President Trump gets it in that bag of cats he calls a brain that trade wars are easy to win, and that tariffs are great. In the meantime, business after American business is stumbling and feeling the pain from his misguided efforts. Never fear! Trump is on the case! In his biggest of best, good brains, he has sent out his Agriculture Department to announce... Read more
Quick – somebody alert Harley-Davidson, American auto makers, Mid-Continent Nail, the nation’s largest nail manufacturer, forced to lay off multiple employees, and pork and soy farmers around the nation, now feeling the pinch. While real Americans and real American businesses are just beginning to be punished by President Trump’s insane, ill-advised trade war, Trump is dancing on their graves. In one of his insane Twitter benders on Tuesday morning, Trump babbled: “Tariffs are the greatest!” the president wrote on Twitter.... Read more
Ok. I covered this story on Friday of last week, so here’s the regrettable follow up. To recap, I wrote about the story of a young Texas steakhouse waiter, Khalil Cavil, who said he was stiffed on a tip by a customer. Not only was he stiffed on a tip, but the customer circled his name, Khalil, and wrote at the top, “We don’t tip terrorist.” Yeah, it’s misspelled. It was disgusting and depressing, to think a young man could... Read more
He’s a petty, small, sniveling little man. And a Russian asset. Trump is definitely a Russian asset. Besides that, however, it is with no small amount of amusement that I, and anyone who has not been caught up in the delusion that is Trump, sit back and view this latest impotent rager from Putin’s pet. Apparently, President Trump has decided to punish those from the former administration that he sees as “political enemies,” by stripping them of their security clearance.... Read more
Yeah, Goebbels, Baghdad Bob, North Korea’s screeching “Pink Lady” – all liars in service to their respective regimes. Somebody has to be the face to step forwards and promote the administration’s “This is fine” line, even as the house burns down around them. For the United States during this present time, it’s all about Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ cockeyed take on “truth” in the age of Trump. We get it. Her daddy, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, pulled a lot of... Read more
Uncle Ranty Tweeter-Pants is at it again. So let’s set the scene. On Sunday, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo addressed Iranian counter-protesters, who have taken to the streets in their nation, to protest to oppressive theocratic government. Pompeo further spoke about Iranian leadership, referring to them as “hypocritical holy men,” and making comparisons between them and the mafia. He’s not far off the mark, actually. Iran stands as a stark example of why theocracies do not work. The counter-protesters in... Read more
