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...

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...

Thoughts and Prayers aren't cutting it...

We have had more mass shootings in the United States this year so far than there have been days in the year.  More than one per day, and yet nothing is happening to make our system better.  All you see is a tragedy followed by scores of politicians going on social media and in front of the media talking about thoughts and prayers, as if that is enough.  It isn't enough, and my question is simple.  How many people have to die before this is an important enough issue to address on a national scale? As of August 4th, in the United States, more than 1,300 people have been injured or killed in mass shootings in 2019, according to data collected by Gun Violence Archive.  Gun Violence Archive defines a mass shooting as any event in which at least 4 people were shot.  By their calculations there have been some 292 mass shootings in the United States in 2019. The United States has more guns than any other country in the world.  There are over 120 guns per e...
