The Normalization of Lies...

I wanted to publish a short Blog today regarding the current state of discourse in America.

Mueller spoke, and made very clear through his speech and in his report that based on the constraints of his investigation, he was not allowed to indict a sitting President.  He did, however, cite numerous obstruction claims and state that in this situation, the investigation would need to be facilitated by other means outside of the DOJ, which leaves Congress, and to anyone with a brain that was very obvious.

At NO time was there any exoneration claims made by Mueller, and in fact, the exact opposite occurred.

That doesn't matter for the Republicans though, because they have been blowing up social media and right wing traditional media with lie and misdirection after lie and misdirection since Mueller spoke.  They are talking like everything is over and Trump is innocent, and the worst is coming from Trump himself, and even so far as the @GOP Twitter account.  Obviously Hannity, Rudy and the President's other inner circle members have been spouting off the innocence rhetoric as well.

This needs to stop.  In America, we need to stop allowing outright lies to be allowed to be included, unchecked in our daily political discourse.  How can the President of the United States, the most powerful person in the world, be allowed to lie and mislead Americans and the World on a daily basis through thousands of documented and outright lies?  Why is this OK?

They are gaslighting to divert attention from the fact that the President should be impeached and subsequently put in prison for crimes committed.  Over 1000 former federal prosecutors agree, and yet the innocence claims and outright lies about the report, Mueller's speech, and other items continue to flow through the media.

And then came the denigration by the President and others of Mueller and anyone else connected to the investigation.  It is all lies to try and make Trump look like a victim that EVERYONE should know he is not. 

This President needs to be impeached, and this president needs to see the inside of a courtroom to stand trial for alleged crimes committed.  He has committed many impeachable offences that should have had him ousted long ago, and that would have had any other president in history ousted long ago without question.  Impeach him.  McConnell needs to grow a soul and order the right to stand behind impeachment, as the office of the President needs to be cleansed.  The problem is, McConnell doesn't have a soul and never will.  He is evil and calculating.

We need to stand up and demand change.  This is not the America that is Great.  We, the citizens of this country, need to bring Greatness back, as Trump has done nothing but destroy our standing around the world, making America the laughing stock of the world.  He has disgraced the office he holds, created a political divide second to none, destroyed the EPA, HUD, Energy Sector, Education Sector...and the list goes on. 

Stand up and scream for change.  Contact your representatives and senators today!

And this has been your uplifting message of the day!

Trump and the DOJ Trying to Silence Mueller...

Mueller is set to sit in front of Congress on Wednesday this week and answer questions regarding the Mueller Investigation.  The DOJ, and organization that is supposed to look out for the best interests of America but has recently decided to become Trump's personal Law Firm, has sent correspondence to Mueller about what he can and cannot answer. For instance, you have the question of the 10 documented cases of obstruction in volume 2 of the report.  Mueller made it clear that he was bound by DOJ policy and could not indict a sitting president.  One very important question the Congressional Leadership will likely ask is, "If Donald Trump wasn't the sitting President, would you have indicted him based on the amount of evidence in the report?"  That question in every respect is fair.  You are asking the head of an investigation if they would have indicted someone had an arbitrary roadblock not been in place.  I say arbitrary roadblock because the policy is...

Truth Matters

If there is one thing I need to keep reminding myself in today's world of political discourse, it is that Truth Matters. At any point in time I can turn on (insert news agency here) News and what I see is vastly different depending upon the news agency I watch.  Why is that?  Every mainstream news organization is bias in some way based upon who runs or owns the news organization.  Don't get me wrong; there are great and impartial journalists and agencies out there, but we are talking in aggregate and not about individuals or one-off agencies. When an issue like immigration is at the forefront of political discourse you can tune into CNN, MSNBC, and FOX and likely get three completely different takes on immigration.  Each news organization tailors their message to speak to what they feel is their viewer base and potential viewer base. That in and of itself is understood by people who follow politics on a regular basis and dig through multiple news sources in ord...

Why does it have to be one way or the other?

I remember a time when I could sit and talk politics and religion with people and have good, productive debates.  The debates were not hateful or one sided, and only rational personal opinions and actual facts were used during the discussions.  They included each person stating their points and making their case, and then each side came to compromises that allowed for solutions that would be good for both parties in the debate.  How did we come to a time in our country's history where we are so vehemently divided on every issue that nothing beneficial to the majority of the American populous or the stability of the country itself can be accomplished?  I am going to state some facts in the next paragraphs.  They may be facts you don't agree with, but they are facts none-the-less.  Those of you on the Right who believe your party's platform has all of the answers to the issues and problems this country faces...you are wrong.  Those of ...
