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...

Electoral College

I have seen a ton of talk about the Electoral College in recent months.  The majority of Americans feel that going to a Direct Popular Vote like the rest of the world is the way to go.  Those on the Right seem to be completely against abolishing the Electoral College.  The question is why? The most common argument given is that we shouldn't let voters in all the big cities decide who is in office for the entire country, and that with Direct Popular Vote, those people who live in rural communities also get a say.  When you break down that argument, you quickly find all the holes that exist within it.  Let's start by talking about one other thing that is completely unfair in our current political system.  Let's look at the Senate. In the Senate, each State elects 2 Senators to go to Congress in Washington D.C.  Sounds fair right? Let's look at the most populous states and least populous states and how many people in each state Senators repres...

Dictators are Great! and other scary as hell things.

Most people weren't very happy with President Xi Jinping of China passing legislation for the ability of the President to rule indefinitely, but Donald Trump seemed to love it.  Donald Trump said, "He's now president for life.  President for life.  No, He's great, and look, he was able to do that.  I think it's great.  Maybe we'll have to give that a show some day." In July of 2016, Trump said of Saddam Hussein about killing terrorists, "He did that so good.  They didn't read them the rights.  They didn't talk.  They were terrorists. Over."  Granted, Trump did label him a bad guy as well, but had more good than bad to say about the former Ruler of Iraq.  Trump also said in 2016 that Libya would be better off, "if Moammar Giddafi were in charge right now."  Trump said that China, when they brutally cracked down on protesters in Tiananmen Square in 1989, "shows you the power of strength,"  He was using that as an e...
