Political Thoughts of the Day

It amazes me how blind politicians can be to corruption when they feel their future political prospects are at risk.  The laundry list of corruption surrounding Trump and his administration is obvious to the majority of sane Americans, but you ask any member of the GOP about it and they act as if they know and see nothing. 

The funniest thing I have noticed in interviews over the past couple of weeks are the replies to one specific question.  Reporters have asked many GOP law makers the following question, or a version of the following question:

"Do you believe that a President asking a foreign power for political favors in turn for releasing aid for their country is ok?"

Every time the question is asked, the GOP law maker will immediately talk about Biden, gaslight, or completely change the subject.  They can't answer the question because they know it is completely wrong. 

Special interest groups and large corporations own the GOP, and many own members of the Democratic party as well.  They aren't allowed to have individual thoughts or ideas, and have to stand behind the corporation's best interests at all times because they have been paid off to do so through campaign contributions. 

You know why we don't have universal background checks yet in the United States?  Because the Gun Lobby has control of the GOP, including the President. 

You know why the EPA has essentially been dismantled, having major environmental regulations stripped from the books?  Because corporations want to drill for oil and ruin land and they can't do that with the environmental protections that existed in years past. 

Our country is run by corporations and the GOP members of congress are the current puppets for those corporations.  Big money needs to be taken out of politics, and soon, because our country is being ruined as a result.

There are 400 bills in the Senate being held by McConnell from every going up for vote, and yet the GOP says that Democrats aren't doing anything but trying to Impeach the President.  The simple fact is that Democrats are doing a ton, but McConnell is refusing to take a Senate Vote on any legislation. 

This is by far the most corrupt GOP we have ever seen, and they are all lock step in protecting a corrupt and criminal President.  They say where's the proof, when they know that there is enough public proof at this point to Impeach 5 Presidents.  If Obama was President right now, having said and done everything Trump has, and if the GOP were in charge of Congress, Obama would have been almost immediately Impeached. 

If your eyes aren't open to this corruption, you aren't looking hard enough.  Our norms and values are being eroded on a daily basis.  Look past the smoke screen and realize that in order to move forward as a country, this President, and all of the corrupt law makers and people surrounding him, need to go.

If you don't agree, I am more than happy to have a debate on the documented evidence; a debate I will win every time.

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...
