Manaford, Buffoon, Elizabeth Warren |
|||
|
I just heard about this. You know Paul Manaford: Trump's Treasonus campaign manager? (apologies for using his name but couldn't resist the word play) It turns out Manaford's lawyer's gave a document to prosecutors but redacted stuff out. Apparently they don't know how to redact effectively as prosecutors could highlight the redacted parts in the computer document that the lawyers sent and the letters showed up. How incompetent is that? Why is everyone even remotely associated with the Buffoon campaign either a criminal or completely incompetent? You can't make this shit up! Apparently money doesn't buy competent people. He was feeding Buffoon's polling data to people in Russia; a surprise to nobody!
The US government is still shut down. I thought Buffoon was a great deal maker. Apparently not. Everyone thinks Elizabeth Warren is running for President; she formed an exploratory committee which pretty much confirms she is. As I understand it she's a tad to the right of Bernie but they believe similar things. I note she hasn't joined the Justice Democrats and didn't endorse Sanders in the primary. She has been speaking to big cash donors too. On the other hand she's basically responsible for the CFPB and has lectured on economic issues; her lectures are very interesting. I doubt she'd be a neoliberal but how she'll handle the republicans would be critical. If she's not a push over it'll be great and I think she's fairly strong, just needlessly responds to stupid attacks. David Pakman thinks she's not particularly relateable, perhaps give her media training. | |||

Republicans, Orange Buffoon, Google |
|||
|
I was going to say something positive about Orange Buffoon and the Republicans but the government is shut down because Orange Buffoon had a tantrom over the wall again. Sigh.
The positive things were Buffoon ordered troops out of Syria and a criminal justice reform bill was passed. This is good news. There's speculation that the Syrian situation was ordered by Putin. However even if true this should be viewed as a positive even if the people making the decision are scumfucks. The Orange F Buffoon Foundation has been shut down, F for fuckwitt. I just make shit up as I go along. It was ordered to be dissolved because Orange Buffoon was using it as a bank account whenever he felt like it and that's illegal. Lock him up! Lock him up! I think Ivonka may also be in trouble for hiking the price on Buffoon properties when the Republicans used them for events. She and her husband are also involved in several other lawsuits. It's really not a good time for the Buffoon family. That makes me happy! The senate held hearings with the Google CEO recently and it was a bit of a shitshow. 3 senators asked about iPhones; they aren't even made by Google. Luckily I wasn't there as I probably would have called them idiots. Speaking of idiots the Republican senators wanted to know why a picture of Orange Buffoon shows up when people type idiot into Google Image Search. As someone in the search engine optimization field. Let me explain. Shortest answer: He's an idiot Short answer: People think he's an idiot. Regular answer: People think he's an idiot and regularly use the word idiot near pictures of him. This includes using the word in the content around him, the image file name and the ALT tag. It's possible that the title, the file name and how many links are going to the page has an effect too. I suspect if enough sites do this ones with strong backlink profiles and/or social signals will rise to the top but I could be wrong on this. | |||

Cohen, Democrats, Climate change |
|||
|
Micheal Cohen was sent to prison for three years and has implicated Orange Buffoon in two federal crimes. If this was a Democrat the Republicans would have started impeachment proceeding last year. Orange Buffoon is probably a criminal and needs to be impeached. It doesn't look like it will happen on this occasion as Republicans don't appear to care. The one up side is maybe an alleged criminal president would mean an easier victory for a Democrat in 2020, though it appears you can never rely on the Democrats not to fuck up an election.
Speaking of which, no to Beto O'Rourke. The guy couldn't beat Ted Cruz and the only reason why people bothered with him is that people hated Ted Cruz so much. No to him and no to Richard Ojeda too. Though his straight talking has a better chance of defeating Buffoon who he also voted for, which also tells me he's not the sharpest knife in the draw. However a straight shooter that voted for Buffoon running against Buffoon might be interesting though. However I thought that electing Buffoon would be interesting, and it is but also a total disaster. Doing things based on my morbid curiosity is a bad idea. Both of these guys lost their last races and if you lose against Republicans I get to judge you for it. The world again laughed at the Buffoon administration as they sent a coal advocate to a meeting on climate change. He was giving a speech, the room started laughing. Apparently the laughter was staged, but it was still a funny clip. There was chanting afterwards but I think that the laughter added something different to the clip. | |||

Bush, Buffoon, Kelly |
|||
|
George H.W. Bush died. Former president, ass grabber, republican. As far as awful Bush presidents, he was the better one. Also possibly the best Republican president since 89. He was still horrible and invaded a country and caused many deaths including by ignoring the AIDS crisis for half of his presidency. His idiot son just caused more damage. George W and Jeb, obviously George H.W. and Barbra had awful genes. Pretty sure if those were my kids I'd get myself fixed.
Orange Buffoon still doesn't believe in climate change, what a fucking idiot. However this really isn't new information or an interesting angle. I would just like to say he's the fucking president and has access to the smartest people alive. instead of asking them he shits out whatever insane crap is in his head in a tweet. Republican politicians are also fucking idiots, they just don't use Twiter. If you were a politician why wouldn't you want to base your policies on the best possible information? I know that money is part of it, but I also genuinely believe they are stupid too. Money just buys the ability for stupid people to get into power. The left need to get their shit together too and just crowd fund the adaptation and development of new technologies. Luckily politicians in other countries are not complete idiots on the issue. We could still do more and need to otherwise we're beyond fucked. John Kelly is out. Maybe Buffoon worked out how to fire him. There was a story which claimed Orange Buffoon repeatedly tried to fire him but Kelly but Kelly just ignored him and stayed, that story sounds too unbelievable for me but it's Buffoon so who knows. Anyway I hope Buffoon inserts a person who can't control him so even more shit blows up in his face. Get the popcorn! | |||

Brazil, Amazon, Hillary Clinton, Democrats |
|||
| Brazil has a new lunatic president, he's basically a fascist version of Buffoon, that's pretty fucking fascist. The Amazon is now in jeporady. This will make climate change must worse if they reduce the size of it. Speaking of Amazon the company Amazon raised its wages to at least $15/hour but when the media was done covering that it took away their stock options. Most employees still get slightly more. But wait there's more. They're opening a new headquarters in New York but have negotiated a deal to get $8,000 per employee. Basically it's welfare to one of the most profitable companies on earth. "Congratulations, you got played!" As someone else points out if the money was directed towards small businesses at least they pay taxes. I have a message to people who talk about Hillary Clinton running for president. SHUT THE FUCK UP! I am sick of certain progressives constantly bitching about Hillary Clinton, they are as bad as right wingers. If she makes an announcement I'll ridicule her at that time. Until then I am not discussing Hillary Clinton running for president, because she fucking isn't. Democrats have also picked up a few seats in the House since last week. Although since they still don't have the Senate I'm not sure that this is relevant. | |||

Terrorism, Midterms, Sessions |
|||
|
On the terrorism story in our last story, it occurred to me that terrorism is usually done you're powerless. Orange Buffoon is the President, at that time the republicans had both houses. Buffoon whines and bitches so much that he had deluded his supporters into thinking the most powerful man in the world is a victim.
My analyst of the midterms result is meh! The republicans lost the House but kept the Senate, which basically means an impeachment is unlikely, which is a good result for the President. Of course I wasn't suggesting they impeach without cause, but I'm pretty fucking sure there's cause. Some pundits believe that Orange Buffoon had a decent result from winding up his base. This is something left-wingers should do in a legitimate way; energy helps you win! Apart from that, some corporate Democrates lost, so did some Justice Democrats. Some Justice Democrats won, go them. Some Justice Democrats losses in red states were smaller than the corporate Democrats, point of interest. Some progressive ballot initiatives won in red states such as higher minimum wages. The results wasn't good, but it's not all bad either, meh. Jeff Sessions was forced to resign. This isn't good. The Russia investigation is probably about to be ended. Luckily Mueller has farmed out prosecutions. So Buffoon may think that this will magically solve his problems. In New Zealand we have a saying: Yeah nah. | |||

Saudi Arabia, Right wing terrorists, New Zealand MP |
|||
|
It looks like the government of Saudi Arabia assassinated a journalist from Turkey. They claim it was an accident but they also brought a body double and bone sore to the event. Did they accidentally do that too? Orange Buffoon has been weak on the issue, of course. He has financial ties to Saudi Arabia. This includes registering 7 businesses in the country at the time of the election and having them staying at his hotels. The government of Turkey is not that great either, it's a battle of fundamentalists. There are some more moderate Muslim governments but they are neither Turkey or Saudi Arabia. Saudi Arabia is also committing a genocide in Yemon. The world is ignoring this. In the US apparently genocide is OK as long as you're the one selling them weapons. Saudi Arabia needs to be heavily sanctioned.
Bombs were sent to current and past Democrat leaders. It's a good thing that the bomber was incompetent and nobody died. His list of enemies also included CNN and Hollywood celebrities that have spoken out against the president. Has Fox News said the words radical right-wing terrorist yet? How about Ted Cruz? I am told something magical happens when you say radical islamic terrorist and people must call it what it is! By the way these are the same people that claim they hate language policing from the left, they actually love to control what words people used. After the news of the bombs Orange Buffoon continued his hate rallies and said that the media has been unfair to him. (he said this three times in an interview, his brain is clearly not functioning correctly) I thought that the right was against people having victim mentalities. Apparently not. It's not the people receiving bombs that are the victims. It's the most powerful person in the country. I maintain the man needs to be removed from office before more of his crazed supporters do things like this. I just heard about another case of a right-wing terrorist. A Synagogue shooting 11 people dead. This alt-right nazi thought the jews were funding a caravan of immigrant. I don't know if he identifies as a nazi, but if it walks like a duck. I heard of this story after I wrote the last sentence of the last paragraph. In future I'll have to say before his supporters kill more people. Cue the thoughts and prayers from politicians and nothing at all will be done on gun control. American politics is terrible. In New Zealand a MP was committed after news of affairs he had came out. USA, take note, you should probably commit your leader. Anyway he needed treatment due to his reputation being destroyed in retaliation to him being leaking stuff about his own party including alleged illegal financial contributions. But nobody is talking about this anymore, look at the shiny sex story. People are too easily distracted. Like the first story, I don't consider anybody the good guy. I admire the leaking but don't discount the fact that it was probably done for self serving reasons. I do hope that he recovers from this and hope that he runs in the by-election and splits the right-wing vote, that'll be awesome. I predict however that he'll just retire. I disagree with his politics but hope that he recovers from his issues. | |||

Kavanaugh, progressive losers, solutions |
|||
|
Republicans approved Kavanaugh, fuck them, they're disgusting. They didn't have to let an alleged attempted sexual assaulter on the court. They could have put on another pro corporate judge. Orange Buffoon just wanted him because he doesn't believe that presidents should be investigated, apparently he came to this conclusion after investigating Bill Clinton. What a fucking joke. Fuck Orange Buffoon for saying pray for Kavanaugh and apologizing to him on behalf of the USA. Buffoon is truly a disgusting fucker. Fuck Joe Manchin too! He's no democrat. Absurd progressives were unable to defeat him. It's incompetence really.
Side point I feel the same way about Cynthia Nixon vs Andrew Cuomo. Progressives should be better prepared to fight against the establishment. Didn't she do a good job since Cuomo. had millions and Nixon had $400,000. Well no she fucking didn't as she could have raise more money through crowd funding. Same with Alison Heartson in California. Should have done better. I have a you don't win by losing mentality. Nixon's vote went some way to knocking off 6/8 corporate democrates the kept voting for republicans, good job on that. As for the Supreme Court Kavanaugh should be impeached the next time Democrats get a super majority and they should just increase the number of justices and pack the fuck out of the Supreme Court. Unfortunately the Corporate Democrats are weak wet spineless cowards and these things won't be done because they have a delusional fetish for bipartisanship. In case you criticize me for my court packing idea, the republicans have already packed the court by blocking Obama's nominee. It's called fighting fire with fire. You're not going to win in any other way. 2/2 of the latest republican presidents were first elected by not winning the popular vote. Obama was blocked from appointing his last corporate judge. Being nice has gotten the left in the USA absolutely fucking nowhere. They need to be stronger and energize their base with actual creditable candidates that are not full of empty slogans. For fuck sakes get rid of the Electoral College too, and money in politics as soon as you have the numbers for a constitutional amendment. | |||

Kavanaugh, UN |
|||
|
Since last week 3 or 4 more women have claimed that Brett Kavanaugh abused them. Was Bill Cosby unavailable to be a judge? This comes down to simple numbers. 5-8% of sexual abuse allegations turn up to be false. The idea that 4-5 women are lying about Brett's character is terribly unlikely. Once 3 women come forward, yeah that doesn't look good. I am not saying that less than three women are not creditable but if you're overly skeptical about allegations I would hope that three women coming forward would at least give you pause about a person. Even two would give you at maximum a 4% false rate. Of course it doesn't mean that there's definitely something there but it isn't very likely there is nothing there. Even with a single accuser a 8% false rate isn't very high so you should at least be cautious before disbeliefing.
A lot of people didn't find Brett creditable in the hearing because he did things like lie about what a devil's triangle is. It's not a threesome, according to Brett it's a drinking game that nobody has heard of. People that were in his class were tweeting that he was lying. Also apparently mentioning a women's name in his yearbook or something was not about getting laid it was about having a crush. If he didn't do unbelievably shady things there would be no reason to tell unbelievably obvious lies. Even if he did I think that a much better strategy would be to admit you weren't perfect but to deny the more serious stuff. At least you wouldn't come across as an obvious liar. He should be immediately charged with perjury but considering the Attorney General also committed perjury it appears that it is not something that they're prosecuting currently. Finally in quick BS that doesn't matter the UN laughed at Orange Buffoon when he said that he has accomplished almost more than any president in the history of the country. That was the right reaction, he's an absolute clown. | |||

Wetter water and judges |
|||
|
You know how I said last week that Orange Buffoon keeps getting stupider? Well he proved me right. Not satisfied with calling hurricanes wet he said that this is the wettest hurricane from the standpoint of water. Which, is just not a coherent thought. You can can't measure the wetness of water. It is either wet or it doesn't exist. This is bullshit but let me address the people who think he's a secret genius and is playing 5 billion dimensional chess to confuse his enemies. The enemies must be inside the whitehouse because most of the people working think he's nuts. Enemies which he personally hired. No, sorry, I won't address you further. You can think Orange Buffoon is fending off Lizard People for all I care. This idiot bankrupted casinos, if that is what you call genius, I probably can't convinced you otherwise. Too far gone.
Turns out that the new Supreme Court pick may have attempted to sexually assault someone. I don't have much to add on this story. Even if he is withdrawn he would just be replaced by another pro corporate socially backwards judge. Judge Thomas was accused of similar things and they confirmed him. This could be a different era. At the lower court level a ton of judges have been confirmed. Many of them were left by Obama and Senate Democrates made a deal to fast track them because they wanted to go campaigning. Absurd. When it comes to judges Democrates just suck. | |||

Orange Buffoon is a stupid narcissist and it's dangerous |
|||
|
Buffoon keeps saying stupider things. I really don't know how that's even possible at this stage but he keeps getting dumber. The buffoon stupid barrel has no bottom. You've think you've hit the bottom, then it's revealed he keeps saying that his father was born in the wrong country, you think you have hit the bottom, he's calling hurricanes tremendously wet.
Perhaps more importantly he's giving himself A+ on disaster responses, all of them. 3,000 people died in one which amazingly he's in denial about. Well I said amazingly; it would be amazing for anybody else but it's Orange Buffoon, the guy is a complete narcissist and has shit for brains, he'll deny whatever is convenient. His crowd size was bigger, the news is fake, A+ on everything and the death toll is fudged. If Putin launched a nuke on California he'd probably deny the amount of deaths too, or blame someone else like Bush did with 9/11. If you think everything you do is perfect you probably have no incentive to improve. His narcissism is dangerous when you think of disaster relief. His narcissism and incompetence will kill people and probably has already done so. The problem isn't Orange Buffoon, it's the people who won't remove him from office. All shit is now on them. If you still think Orange Buffoon is fit to be president, maybe you need some kind of professional help. | |||

Orange Buffoon, Paul Manaford, Low Wages, Nike |
|||
|
An anonymous staffer wrote a piece in the New York Times with more dirt on the white house. Everybody is talking about it but honestly it isn't revolutionary at all and many of the things were known already such as the staff think that the President is crazy and will not follow some orders because they figure he'll forget about the orders. It was known already that his more crazy orders were being suppressed, we such have some examples. He wanted to get the US out of a trade deal with South Korea but didn't notice that the paperwork was stolen from his desk so it was forgotten about. Apparently he ordered the assassination of the Syrian dictator but just forgot. Now this does sound unbelievable, but then again it's Orange Buffoon so who knows? How do you not follow up when you order a leader of a country to be taken out? Furthermore how do you not invoke the 25th amendment when you know the president is this incompetent? These people are gutless. A fun fact that came out of this: Nixon staffers did the same when he used to get drunk.
There's speculation that Paul Manaford will take a plea deal. He wouldn't be doing this if he was relying on a Pardon. Another aide got 8 days in prison in exchange for a deal, though this is speculation. If one or both give information Bernie Sanders has a bill where it'll force corporations like Amazon and Walmart to pay for a family's food stamps instead of the government. On the surface I agree but do see some issues with this; hear me out. It is disgraceful that corporations can get away with paying their workers so poorly they have to go on food stamps and if they have 2-3 kids I say that a bill like this would be great and would fully support this if it had this kind of limit. The problem I see is families with 5-6 kids. A job at Amazon wouldn't pay for that anyway, even if both people are working. This also disincentivizes companies from hiring people who have big families and they may prefer single people too. A more practical option might be to just have a reasonable liveable wage which would be enough for a family. Alternatively tying the wage to productivity which would be at least $21/hour. People may not like me tying capitalism to the number of kids you have but this is the system we live in. If you have other suggestions feel free to comment. Finally conservative snowflakes burn their Nike shoes after Nike release an ad with Colin Kaepernick. These people are idiots, if they want to get rid of their Nike gear why not just sell them or donate them to a charity shop? Now they're down a few pairs of shoes. Nice going! | |||

Google, Obstruction of justice, Alex Jones |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon is now whinnng about Google showing news stories from "fake news" sites. By fake news sites he just means regular news sites. I have been ranking sites in Google on and off for 12 years and I was extremely successful in early days in getting top spots. I am getting back into search engine strategies after a long break, so I do know what I am talking about. Certain sites appear at the top because there are more websites that link to them. For fresh content the primary factor would be how many links from trusted websites a website has. That is how search engines work. If he doesn't want negative and shitty stories he could try not doing negative and shitty things.
Orange Buffoon again committed obstruction of justice but this time not even with his own case. The D.O.J. is investigating two Congresmen and Orange Buffoon thinks that Jeff Sessions should stop it because it is damaging the republicans chances in November. How many crimes is this man going to commit before he is impeached? This is a serious question! Progressives are going on about how Alex Jones had trans porn in a tab. I fail to care. Yes he's apparently against that community but this is about the billionith case of conservatives hating on something while secretly liking it. Perhaps it's worth covering to say to the less gullible, casual supporters of him that he's a hypocrite. Though he rants about space sex cults on mars, do less gullible supporters of him actually exist? Well some people believe this and not that. But if you know that he's giving out bad information, why watch him at all? Some progressives commentators have turned crazy, I stop watching those. This is not to say that you can't watch him if you think he's funny but if you try to decode actual news and crap from his broadcasts, well, good luck with that. That is probably a bad idea. Even thinking that you should do this says to me that you would probably fall. | |||

Buffoon, Australia, John McCain |
|||
|
Paul Manaford has been found guilty of crimes. Michael Cohen has plead guilty to crimes, implicated Buffoon and said that he doesn't want a pardon from criminal Buffoon. The second is more relevant. Buffoon claims he paid the money but it wasn't from campaign money so it wasn't a felony... WRONG! Any spend to help a political campaign is subject to limits unless it's from a super PAC. Legal pundits claim he admitted a felony on live TV. This isn't about Russia. He did break the law and should be impeached. This is only one crime, how many more are there? Perhaps they can ask Cohen. Buffoon clearly said 11 times in a row that Cohen is a business person so his business is not subject to privilege. BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS HE DOESN'T KNOW HIS BUSINESS BUT HE HAS A BUSINESS AND IS A BUSINESS PERSON BUSINESS BUSINESS BUSINESS.
This could be the end of Orange Buffoon, but some people don't think that the Republicans will impeach under any circumstances. Time will tell. Buffoon is still going on about Crooked's Emails, he means Hillary in case you weren't able to understand, I am deliberately using his poor language. He wants Jeff Sessions to launch new investigations into her. He also abuses Jeff for not protecting him so I really don't think Jeff will be quick to launch investigations into a closed case of a political enemy. Why does Buffoon need protection if he hasn't done anything wrong? Buffoon also think that flipping should be illegal. You can't flip on an innocent person. Why is he worried about people flipping if he hasn't done anything wrong? Every fifth tweet is still NO COLLUSION. Maybe his family should gag him and take his phone away. Maybe that's the only way to stop him sounding guilty. On another note apparently Buffoon hates the fact that his wife is doing an anti bullying campaign. That make me think she's only do it to annoy him, which makes perfect sense considering the affairs. Australia has a new prime minister. It must be that time of the year. An election didn't occur. Most of the Prime Minister changes have occurred without an election in recent years. If you are in Australia and are with a knocked out person, you might not want to ask who is the current prime minister since it may change at any moment. John McCain died, I am not going to say that he was all good or all bad. I will just say thanks for picking a complete clown as your running mate, she was hilarious. | |||

Alex Jones, hideous people from Canada, Don Brash |
|||
|
Several websites banned Alex Jones from their platforms. I have so many points perhaps I will write this in the same style as my professional writings; in reference to three sentences per paragraphs not language.
If you believe what Alex Jones says is true, you need to seek mental health treatment. You have a thinking disability, are really gullible, have shit for brains, are emotionally attached to the conspiracy theories or a combination. I will not engage with you. This isn't a freedom of speech issue. They're all private companies which are not currently regulated as public utilities. They have an absolute right to kick off anybody for any reason. Them being nationalized or regulated as public utilities is problematic as their audience is worldwide. You could do something with the UN as the governing body but mention that to Alex Jones and he'll shout THE UN IS TRYING TO STICK EVERYBODY IN HOBBIT HOMES! The same right wingers who go on about free speech mostly hate government regulation of corporations. Forcing a private platform to have you post would be doing exactly that unless you want Jones to sue YouTube. It's an inconsistent position, what about the right of a business to conduct business how it likes and have the "free market" decide? This is what libertarians like Alex Jones believe. In their world and the real world the rights of the corporation have priority on this specific issue. If you want to change that, do that but freedom of speech is not a valid argument at this time. Freedom of speech is meant to protect you from the government from penalizing you for your opinion. Crowd fund a platform which gives people flexible options to monetize their content. Both the left and right would be grateful for this. This would be a more productive approach. This is not about taking something down because they didn't like it. His content was leading to repeated harassment of families with massacre victims. If you think that it is immoral or unethical to take such content down, your morality is ass backwards! Corporations don't have to take part in such activity. Though they probably only did it because they were afraid of being sued or the public backlash. This is completely consistent with how libertarians want the free market to run! Alex Jones isn't widely regarded as satire, any responsible satirist would immediately tone it down when people start to harass others. If he's pretending he's not making it clear and the consequences are the same, so that is not a good point. Is his supplement business part of the satire? The best case he's knowingly selling snake oil to people he assumes are idiots. He must know that many of his followers are mentally unstable. If he's deliberately lying to them that doesn't make it better. Now to the progressives defending Alex Jones: STOP BEING STUPID! I understand that there are free speech absolutists out there but again this argument doesn't apply and the exact same people who claim that they're in the business of facts defend homophobic dictator Putin and they are yet again making stupid arguments in defense of a vile person. I understand that you want to debunk Alex Jones but if that was truly a remedy families of massacre victims wouldn't be constantly harassed and people wouldn't be going to places with guns because of his conspiracies. People who do this are not going to listen to logic or reason. You're living in a fantasy world, ironically just like his supporters with unnatural gay frogs and space cults designed to make people asexual. The left especially progressives should deliver facts. You cannot use a fact based argument to defend Alex Jones. The corporations have the absolute right on this issue. People must not ignore facts in favor of ideology. If you think corporations have too much power, I hear you. But these tech giants can already ban anyone for any reason; that's just the world we live in. You'd be better off organizing to build your own platform if you're that concerned. The companies are running a business and have three primary concerns; advertisements, public backlash and not getting sued. Farron Cussins claimed the platforms are worried about getting sued after the people suing Jones are done with him. If this is the reason it's a purely business decision. Alerx Jones has been slandering people for years; and not just those in the court cases but a long line of individual people. It is curious the companies have just taken action now and I assume haven't removed similar people sprouting such nonsense, but perhaps it was the lawsuit. You may say innocent until proven guilty but again corporations don't have to abide by that standard. The vital difference for Alex Jones can and should be sued for his constant slander. The only tragedy is he hasn't gone bankrupt long ago for lawsuits. This isn't a slippery slope because he regularly says crazy untrue things about people and is driving his base to commit crimes, this isn't the free speech martyr that some people want him to be. Alex Jones still has his own website and platform. To be clear I would be against ISPs from censoring legal things as the internet itself should be a public utility, but that rule no longer exists because of the administration Jones supported. Proving my point that they want corporations to have all the power; he very specifically advocated against net neutrality. The presidential candidate that he supported was the only one to say let's open up the liable laws. You would imagine that would completely screw Alex Jones! It is true that making his audience less public does have downsides. A downside could be that this makes his followers more radical and I predict if that happens it could cause more problems for Alex Jones. If fewer people overall see his crap I say that's a net positive. FUCK ALEX JONES, IF HE GOES BANKRUPT FROM LAWSUITS I WILL LAUGH MY ASS OFF AND PROBABLY HAVE A DRINK TO CELEBRATE. I don't believe that Auckland should have banned those hideous people from Canada from speaking in the council buildings. I am consistent on this issue, I don't believe that the government should censor people but corporations can do what they like if they're not administering a public utility. People claim that the hideous people from Canada have half a million followers and should be banned to prevent people thinking New Zealand endorses their BS. Absurd! Half of their followers are probably fake anyway. Freedom means that people can do things that the government doesn't necessarily like unless it directly harms others. I don't not endorse those hideous people from Canada and the idea that I do just because they're in the same country is lunacy. Those hideous people from Canada are now asking their supporters for donations because their little hate event didn't go ahead and this proves my point that getting banned was a business model for them. The same argument doesn't fly for Alex Jones because he uses his platforms to sell his snake oil. Finally Don Brash (New Zealand political figure)said that protesters hindered his freedom of speech but again the concept applies to the government. Being a former leader of a major political party, he should know this but apparently not. He almost ran the country! | |||

Orange Buffoon and cars |
|||
| People who say there's no evidence of collusion including some on the left are just denialists at this point and hell for quite a while. There was the famous Trump Tower meetings and an Email exchange between Don Junior and someone and he said "I love it" in response to getting damaging information on Hillary. I only bring this up because Buffoo's idiot lawyer Rudy brought up a second meeting which was previously unknown. Every time he goes on TV he makes things worse for his client. Mueller must be watching with Popcorn taking notes. Buffoon also tweeted out obstruction of justice and said that Jeff Sessions should shut down the investigation and fire Mueller. But apparently he was just giving his opinion, not committing obstruction of justice. Sounds as creditable as the audio heard me wrong. If he's so innocent why is he asking for the investigation to be shut down? Let's say the police was investigating me for punching a midget, they're totally free to do that because I didn't punch a midget. If I was like YOU SHOULD STOP THIS RIGGED WITCH HUNT. FAKE NEWS. SAD! NO PUNCHED MIDGET! You would probably assume that I was protesting too much. I apologize to people with short stance. Buffoon also tweeted out with big letters 50% APPROVAL RATING like he's proud. Most presidents would be horrified of that figure. By the way I don't believe that figure, the last creditable poll I saw had him at 41%. He's still rising, and I don't know why. This is the most incompetent man ever that the USA had as president, he constantly fucks up, can barely speak a coherent sentence, is locking people in camps, fucking up the environment. Why is his support rising? In other news Buffoon is doing away with fuel efficiency standards because? Fuck Obama. I guess that's the reason. This also helps the oil cronies that fund the republican party. Consumers must demand more fuel efficient and electric vehicles if the government refuses to enforce sensible rules, that's the solution. | |||

Orange Buffoon, Predictions, Sacha Barron Cohen |
|||
|
About a day after I last posted Orange Buffoon called the Russia investigation a hoax. I TOLD YOU SO! He doesn't disappoint. His insanity has become predictable, and not just by me. He's in a panic because Michael Cohen has many many tapes that could put him away. He hasn't fully flipped yet, but it's likely he will.
Add to that Buffoon is barely winning white men according to latest polls. I'll reiterate he won't complete two terms, and probably not even one. Thank fuck. I am sick of having to write about this idiot. I would rather bitch about what an idiot Mike Pence is, he's bound to be a moron but at least he doesn't shit the bed every five minutes. Another prediction: If the economy collapses under Pence they'll just blame Orange Buffoon. If it collapses under Buffoon perhaps they'll use it to get him out, perhaps not. Sacha Barron Cohen embarrassed a politician so much that he resigned. Sacha was pretending to teach someone how to fight ISIS (obviously they do that frequently in the US) he got the politician to yell a derogatory term racists frequently use to describe African Americans. He also got the politician to pull down his pants bumping backwards into Sacha yelling AMERICA! Clips again online. One thing that I will ask is why can't people troll Orange Buffoon more? I bet you could get him to say all sorts of stupid shit. People should totally do this. He constantly says stupid shit without any prompting. Imagine what you could get him to say if you compliment him. I've had fantasies. What I wouldn't do to be able to give a script to a reporter! | |||

Buffoon, Russia, Sacha Baron Cohen, Speakers |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon met with Putin and claimed that Russia didn't interfere in his election, then a day later he said that he actually said "I don't see why it wouldn't be Russia" instead of "I don't see why it would be Russia" and blamed the audio. Classic Narcissistic Personality Disorder: blame everything but yourself. I really think that he only did this because most of Fox News was displeased apart from the most fundamentalist Buffoon supporting hosts, then again usually he just angrily tweets at the TV when they offend the orange special snowflake so perhaps someone at the whitehouse also had a word with him. Then just as I predicted (privately) he was saying something different a day later: Russia is not trying to interfere with the midterms. The Press secretary now says he didn't say that but was saying "no" to the answering the question. At this point I think I will stop trying to explain this as whatever his current position he will probably say something different a day later and go on a rant about HILLARY'S EMAILS or Elizabeth Warren's heritage. By the way obsessing about someone's race, sound familiar?
In other news about Russia they're also funding groups like the NRA and anti gay groups with the purposes o dividing the west including Europe. They're saying to countries don't join the EU or you'll be forced to give gay people rights. The Putin administration is horrible and if you're a lefty and claim otherwise, well, get a fucking clue. This doesn't mean that I want a war but they definitely should be sanctioned and shunned until they stop with the fuckery, that is a very technical term! Sacha Baron Cohen's new series has made headlines as he tricked political figures into doing and saying stupid things. He did a character in a wheelchair which I am not happy about but did prank Sarah Palin and Dick Cheney so the ends justify the means. I also support Steven Crowder's right to do a character in a wheelchair to make fun of Bernie supporters as he did, I also think that Crowder is a talentless hack but I support his right to be a talentless hack. Cohen also tricked republicans in supporting placing guns in the hands of 4 year olds and training them to shoot. O...K... He included a stuffed animal that shoots bullets, the clips are amazing. He also tried to trick Bernie but Bernie looked at him funny. Maybe he should have been a bit more clever with the scene to get the desired reaction. Two far right Canadians are coming to New Zealand to do speeches. I won't name them, because I don't remember their names, don't want to give them publicity and can't be bothered looking them up. Auckland Mayor Phill Goff banned them from council owned buildings. All that he did by doing this was getting them on the news and make them martyrs. This draws more attention to them and is what they want. Some on the right have an equation for cash: Say horribly offensive things + get banned = views and support from other horrible people = CASH! The right course of action is to ignore these freaks so you don't draw more attention to them. | |||

UK trip, Hacking, Supreme Court |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon went on his UK trip. Yes it was a disaster. Before the trip he told Germany it was controlled by Russia in the most obvious case of projection ever and called himself a very stable genius. I really don't think people who are mentally stable go around telling people how mentally stable they are. As Cenk Uygur says if someone came up to you telling you that they're mentally stable you would probably back away slowly. Upon listening to the news clip I had to rewind making sure that I didn't mishear. But no. On his trip he told the Prime Minister that he wishes another person was the Prime Minister; if you were compiling a list of things not to do on a trip, pretty fucking sure that would be at the top. He walked in front of the queen, I care much less about that; monarchies and protocols are stupid. I guess at least his words didn't cause someone to go on a rampage this week, that is a plus!
Mueller has indicted 12 people for hacking including trying to get into the software that controls the vote. We don't know if they were successful, but I wouldn't be surprised. I've previously said that these machines were bound to be hackable; I guess that we will in time if I can say I told you so. Go back to paper ballots. If there is even a 1% chance that the vote was not legitimate the Supreme Court pick shouldn't go through. It turns out that both picks were clerks of Justice Kennedy. This is no coincidence. The son of Kennedy has business dealings with Buffoon and it looks like his dad did a deal with Buffoon to retire in exchange for a clerk to be his replacement, possibly two clerks as part of the deal. This isn't how the Supreme Court is supposed to function but I guess it now matches Washington; it is a joke. Buffoon hasn't drained the swamp. He has built a new swamp on the whitehouse lawn, and built another in the Supreme Court. | |||
|
|||
Tariffs, EPA, Air New Zealand |
|||
|
The tariffs are continuing to fuck up economies and there is no sign of it ending. Buffoon now wants to grant himself king like powers to continue the trade war without interference from congress. People warned he wants to be a dictator and if this goes through this would be the first step. It sounds like the world needs to spread democracy to the US. I'm of course joking but this isn't good. I wouldn't count on the Supreme Court to save anybody, the entire institution has become a joke as far as I am concerned. Best case, a Democrate comes in and cleans up some of the shit. Orange Buffoon praises the President of China for changing the constitution so he doesn't have to run again. So hopefully he can't do that!
The Environmental Protection Agency head resigned basically for being a corrupt fucker. His corruption was endless and he did things like use the agency resources' to try and get his wife a job, stayed at a place that cost him $50 a night that was provided by a lobbyist, made the agency spend 150k on a sound proof phone booth, misused government travel perks, routinely broke the law by having a private and public calendar. This guy had 12 different investigations into him and probably should be prosecuted. His replacement is a coal lobbyist. So little better. Meanwhile in New Zealand idiots are boycotting Air New Zealand because they are offering Vegan burgers. Yes, this is a real story. Turns out people are batshit insane here too. I blame Orange Buffoon, before him people were less crazy and I never felt like I was writing satire half the time. Undoubtedly the same people that are boycotting our national airline will claim that they are patriots, stupid fucks. Please contact me if I got this story wrong, if they are banning meat or force feeding people vegan burgers, or shoving them up people's arses. Are they genetically engineering the vegetables to attack people? These would be a worthwhile boycott. | |||
|
|||
Supreme Court, Progressives, Violence |
|||
|
Justice Kennedy retired and this basically means that the federal rights to abortion is no longer safe, possibly gay marriage but that one could be too popular to throw out. From my view the democrates didn't obstruct the first one Buffoon picked so they missed their opportunity. On the other hand Dear Leader is under investigation and didn't win the popular vote anyway, so why the fuck not? It's surely no worse than the republican rationale. There's no point talking about obstruction as Democrates are weak and practically never fight back because they receive money from the same donors. Your fantasies about obstruction will get you nowhere.
A Wall Street democrate lost his primary, good riddance! It's a shame the Justice Democrates can't knock off more blue dogs. I think that the group will have 10 candidates in the general election, you have to start somewhere I guess. I think that the key is having only one progressive democrate in the first past the post system. I think that this wasn't the case for the California senate primary race and it wasn't a good result for progressives. Dear Leader called the press the enemy of the people, now a crazy person started shooting at a journalist. This reminds me of dictators like Putin and the guy in the Philippines; they spread hate about a certain group of people and their supporters start attacking. If Mueller has evidence, it's time to get the bastard out before things get even worse. While the right cries about people being booted from restaurants their side is literally killing people, remember the nazi rally? People shouldn't go to people's home but there is a difference between yelling at people and running people over or going on a shooting spree. | |||

Family separation and Simon Bridges |
|||
|
The family separation story blew up this week which resulted in Orange Buffoon signing an Executive Order stating that families must stay together. Don't be fooled; he didn't have to sign an Executive Order to do this. It's all for show. They were just enforcing policies at his instructions, so they could have easily unenforced them. Though making this official is a good thing. It doesn't change the fact that he created the crisis and expects credit when he made it better. No! Another angle you probably won't hear in the media is that there were warnings about this being the new source of income for private prisons which is noteworthy because they're locking up fewer and fewer people on drug charges; which is a good thing but they have just replaced one horrific policy with another. The government is spending tens of millions doing this; if you are a true fiscal conservative you should hate this. I could make the argument that separating families is horrible and blah blah blah but that probably won't reach conservatives and I don't see value in repeating the same arguments everyone else makes; go and read a bleeding heart liberal's blog if that is what you want. Also this is damaging to a long term mentality of the person which will turn a percentage into criminals and psychopaths. You then have to deal with the cost of prison etc. This will be a cost for many years to come. Treating people this way has consequences. There wasn't a crime wave but what they are doing is getting people to hate the United States.
Over in New Zealand the Prime Minister had her baby, from the media coverage you would think that she was the first person to give birth. I am only covering this story to make fun of Simon Bridges. He said that he will convert the child to be a National voter and maybe she will wear boys clothes to school to be politically correct. I think that he was joking and uses humour to make himself more related but from going on Twitter it appears to be about as effective as me wearing a head band to try to convince people that I am a runner. I am in a wheelchair... You would just look at me strangely. | |||

Orange Buffoon and North Korea |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon met with Kim Jong-un. I think that I said that the meeting wasn't going to happen. It was off, then it was on again. It was like a soap couple, if the characters were ugly! I find it disturbing that a criminal dictator is legitimized by a world leader. Kim Jong-un should be ashamed. What did it do? Not much, if any. North Korea promised to denuke, but they have promised this several times in the past and this wasn't followed through. Buffoon promised to pull troops out of South Korea, of course without speaking to them because who needs to consult with major allies? There are two major directions that this could go. The first is empowering North Korea to attack the south. The second (and I am being super fair by including this) is actually getting North Korea to follow through on their denuking as apparently they made this offer before. I see not reason not to be cynical about North Korea, but there is a small possibility that I am wrong.
Orange Buffoon said that only one in 10,000 could do what Kim Jong-un. Firstly perhaps he meant to say one in a million which would be more complimentary. Secondly he obviously just pulled that figure out of his ass. There is no way to verify this as not many people inherent a dictatorship. It's like everyday he has to remind us what a fucking idiot he is. People should stop trying to analyze the things he says, because he's a moron that just vomits out whatever shit that comes to mind. | |||

Canada, Pardons, Russia, Gay wedding cake |
|||
|
Another crazy won in Canada, Doug Ford is now the prime minister of Ontario. he was the brother of Rob Ford; the mayor caught in a cocaine scandal. People describe him as the Orange Buffoon of Canada but I think this is simplistic. He doesn't appear vulgar or thick but spoke to people hating "liberal elites" ruling over them, ironic since he basically wants to give all the power to big business. His policies are terrible which include closing homeless shelters, eliminating HIV programmes, cutting funding for day care centres. Canada voted for liberals a few years ago but they have largely not delivered on promises which is similar to the situation in the US which some argue lead to Orange Buffoon.
Speaking of the US Buffoon tweeted he could pardon himself, but he's not going to, why bring it up then? He probably would pardon himself, the decision would be challenged and the decision would rest on the Supreme Court with a conservative majority. So that doesn't look good! Putin boosted about how much you can't trust the US about deals and tariffs which is ironic since he supported the Dear Leader, probably to destablize and undermine the US. Orange Buffoon is delivering for him. The US is losing friends, perhaps it's not all bad news. Perhaps the international community would be more skeptical when the US tries to launch a war. The Supreme Court ruled on the gay cake issue. A baker denied to bake a cake for a gay wedding couple. They sided with the baker because they claim that the prosecution was too zealous when it came to going after the religious beliefs of the baker. i think that it was a bizarre decision and makes absolutely no sense. The law should be the law regardless of how it's argued. The offence is still the same regardless of the arguments. Would they still make the claim if it was for a interracial couple? This is bullshit! It was a 7-2 ruling and it was said that the ruling was narrow and only applied in this specific case. When the ruling was reported by the media a son of Orange Buffoon said that a 7-2 ruling is not narrow! The apple doesn't fall far from the stupid tree. | |||

Rosanne, math, trade war |
|||
|
Rosanne is back in the news after tweeting something racist and as a result her show was cancelled. I am not going to spend time judging her for that tweet but I want to bring up several points.
Lots of progressive shows are now calling her mentality ill. I said that months ago. I don't mean to gloat but we shouldn't judge her too harshly because she obviously has mental problems and should get treatment. I am not sure I would have fired her but if there were executives that wanted her fired I would just go along with them. Racism is a bad look and shouldn't be tolerated from a representative of the network. Then again I really don't like policing people's speech and it's unfair that the overall cast have to lose their jobs. So I wouldn't have fired her but if I was the sole person responsible I would have insisted that she gets help. If she didn't I'd hope like hell other people force me to fire her. If this doesn't happen, well I don't think the network can tolerant racism, so I would be forced to fire her. That is a consistent paragraph as I said I wasn't SURE if I would have fired her but then concluded that she needed to go, but only after refusing help. People brought up the fact that Bill Maher asked if Orange Buffoon was a son of an ape. I am not sure if I should be angered by this stupidity or people are really this ignorant and lack any sense of context. Calling white people apes is not historically racist, calling black people is. It was not used to justify slavery against white people and to belittle them. Secondly he did that IN RESPONSE TO ORANGE BUFFOON BEING FUCKING RACIST BY SUGGESTING OBAMA WASN'T BORN IN THE US. How can people think that the two are the same? People are attacking liberals with things that that they didn't do by posting fake tweets and fake photos. I saw one of Whippi and I first thought her shirt was not racist; my second was let's just check if that photo was real. It wasn't real! Stop fucking lying, it makes your side look stupid and people not trust you. If you posted that honestly, please reconsider listening to people trying to fool you with fake photos, if I hadn't seen it done many times in the past I wouldn't have been so skeptical. To her fans who like her because she's honest. She once dressed up as hitler placing jews in the oven. I think it's OK to judge her fans! She also tweets pizzagate nonsense and have called both sides of the Israel Palestinian conflict nazis. Again this person needs help. Please like honesty AND and a sound mind. People can like who they like, but for fuck sakes have some standards! If you believe in the pizzagate nonsense something is probably wrong with your brain or you're just blinded by emotional hatred of Hillary Clinton. I was going to say ignorant but really if you won't research the conspiracy before believing it you probably have a few screws loose. This is a problem with a personality driven media. When the cast attach themselves to a personality and she goes awol that is just a risk you took. Perhaps if society ignored celebrities this wouldn't happen. A Buffoon supporter tweets racist things, how shocking! Meanwhile the death toll from the recent hurricane is 70x higher than what the government reports and they just can't find 1500 immigrant children. Yet the president whines about TV shows on Twitter. As I understand it the second problem was caused by not adequately funding government services and the current climate with immigrants. families are not picking up the phone due to the fear of being deported. However they really don't know where some of them are, they could be sold for all they know. Disgraceful. Oh and Orange Buffoon has started a trade war with several countries. Basically the countries involved are just putting up the cost of particular goods because the US started it. In theory it is about keeping jobs but in practice it is doing little other than raising prices of goods for people. | |||

Orange Buffoon vs Technology |
|||
|
I am going to cover a largely irrelevant story but it's a good description of the Buffoon presidency. Orange Buffoon spelt Melania's name incorrectly, Melanie. Let me do a slight defense of Buffoon, it was probably a problem with auto correct. With that being said, I also use word prediction and in most cases you can add words to the dictionary. It doesn't appear his wife's name is in the dictionary. I find this amusing. This is the issue overall. you have to be incompetent beyond any measure to get your wife's name wrong, he is the President of the United States. What an absolute moron.
He is also using an unsecure phone to conduct White House affairs. BUT HER EMAILS! The phone can be easily hacked. BUT HER FUCKING EMAILS! He is just refusing to use a secured phone because it's inconvenient and doesn't want to report it to John Kelly. (hey, look who still has a job!) This is nothing but narcissism from Buffoon, he probably thinks his phone cannot be hacked and if anybody tried he'll launch fire and fury on to them. SAD! | |||
|
|||
nothing good happening with North Korea |
|||
| For a while it looked like North Korea was going to be more stable but that hope appears to have gone. People speculate that Orange Buffoon is so crazy North Korea didn't know if they were going to be next in line for the US to \'spread democracy" which the term is an absolute joke considering Orange Buffoon lost the popular vote by 2.9 million which is practically the voting population of New Zealand. Bush also lost the popular vote and attempted to \'spread democracy". That's 2 for 2 Republican presidents who didn't get elected by the popular vote initially so the US can fuck off with spreading democracy since it doesn't have it itself. Perhaps North Korea was always just wasting time as it has done in the past, or perhaps it saw the US tore up the Iran deal and concluded they will invade it instead. Either way I didn't initially cover it, and this probably has come to nothing. I wish that I could claim brilliant foresight and I knew this would be the logical conclusion, but it's just a case of limited time. | |||

Ian deal broken |
|||
| Orange fucking idiot cancelled the Iran deal with the US. MACSA - MAKE AMERICA COMPLETELY STUPID AGAIN. I have insomnia and am busy, I'm just going to quickly rant. What a fucking idiot. I bet he is getting great joy destroying part of Obama's legacy, perhaps one of his greatest accomplishments. This came about a week after the Israeli gave a speech saying Iran was not complying with the deal but cited outdated information and the speech was bullshit, so fuck him! The government agencies said Iran was complying. There was no reason to do this other than setting the stage for war. George W Bush was also a fucking idiot that was fooled into a war. There is a bigger fucking idiot in the Whitehouse. History is in the middle of repeating itself. One problem, many people would have been fooled about Iraq but it has not even been two decades since. Not as many people will be fooled now, and the Dear Leader is historically disliked. I don't think that he will get the support Bush got, unless America ha completely lost their mind. My guess is the neocons aka delusional sadistic fuckwitts will go in before 2020 regardless of who's President, probably Pence. If the fuckers go in expect at least one terrorist group to rise up, happened last time with ISIS. This will be an utter fucking mess caused by an utter fucking idiot who didn't win the popular vote. It's 2003 all over again, fuck. | |||

Orange Buffoon and Kanye West |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon keeps making an ass of himself, so does Kanye West. Both people have something in common; a number of people they're secret geniuses when they're probably just fucking idiots.
Orange went on Fox and Friends and probably was suffering some kind of mental seizure; that is the only way it makes logical sense, or maybe he was on drugs and/or suffering from extreme sleep deprivation. He just kept repeating the word business. Michael Cohen has a business, he has lots of business, I don't know his business, he's a business person. This is not far off from the actual interview, I couldn't stop laughing. The prosecution used his "rant" to say the seized documents weren't covered by attorney client privilege due to the apparent business nature of the Buffoon Cohen relationship. The orange idiot probably was repeating the word business in order to save himself, he did the opposite. What a fucking idiot. No wonder two lawyers of his quit. Their replacements are a former Clinton impeachment lawyer and a former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani who hasn't practiced law for a decade and appears to like going on TV and basically admit to campaign finance violations committed by Orange Buffoon. Apparently the thinking behind this is it's either Buffoon or Cohan broke the law and they don't want Cohan to flip. An observation: If the porn star payment was funneled through a Super PAC then it probably wouldn't have been illegal. As always Buffon's people appear to be completely incompetent and have no idea what they're doing. Kanye West said that slavery was a choice. I am not going to bother saying this is wrong, that should be obvious to everyone who isn't a complete fuckwitt. People in the past have called Kanye a genius because of his musical abilities however this is hardly the first crazy thing he said. Many musicians have writers but let's say he is a musical genius; he's probably a person who is good at one thing back is absolutely batshit insane at everything else. I think that this would describe Kanye. | |||

Incels, dating sites |
|||
|
There was a terrorist attack by an "involuntarily celibate" guy this week, and it was not the first. To put it simply these guys are so angry and bitter that they can't get laid that they commit terrorist attacks. In the US one had a gun, in the UK one ran people owner. What is interesting is in the age of Tindr it should not that difficult for an able body person to get laid. If you want to commit terrorism or sympathize with these types of terrorists you probably have a few screws loose, and that is probably the reason why you can't get sex. This is also true for muslim terrorists, many of them want glory because they feel inadequate in their life. The only solution are groups to drive people in the right direction such as encouraging them to seek personal coaching etc. not from dating guru assholes but from actually trained behavioral therapists. Though it's possible some have personality disorders that will never do this, but offering non judgemental alternatives would make the groups of incels smaller. I can also say that I frequently go a few months at a time without getting laid but I never wanted to end people's lives over it.
This next story is related. Politicians in the US have passed bills that hold dating sites liable for sex trafficking activities. This on the surface sounds good but many people think that it goes to far. Think craigslist for example, if someone posts a classified ad and is somehow conducting sex trafficking should Craigslist be responsible? Before you say yes I would ask how would they know? It's not like people post ads going HELLO I'M A SEX TRAFFICKER! Furthermore they have thousands of ads. There is just no way to realistically tell even if manually approving ad; criminals don't often broadcast the fact that they're criminals unless they're working for the current president. This is not to say sites shouldn't cooperate with authorities, they should and if they're are not and/or allow people who they know are committing crimes on their network yes those things should absolutely be crimes. The current versions of the bills are too far reaching and in my opinion allows selective prosecution. Not only that it's the big companies who will likely lobby themselves out of any trouble. If I started a dating site which frankly I was going to do it would be a big risk, though maybe I could use bankruptcy laws and use another entity to buy the website. Though for the domain I brought I'll probably do some niche dating articles and try monetizing with affiliate programs. The story relates to the first as they are cutting off ways for people to get laid. If their goal was to grow incel terrorism this would be a very effective way of doing that. I am not suggesting that this is the goal, just that they're so stupid they don't know what they're doing and have no idea what they're legislating. You only have to see their questions to Mark Zuckerburg to see that they have absolutely no clue when it comes to regulating websites; they should learn. By the way now you've screwed dating startups, nice job idiots! I was going to cover Orange Buffoon's meltdown on Fox News but I think I will do it next week. | |||

Barbara Bush and YouTube |
|||
|
Barbara Bush died, some people have been criticized for speaking ill of the dead. I don't subscribe to that rule at all so here we go. Barbara Bush is largely irrelevant, but any week that I can avoid talking about Orange Buffoon I'll take. You may say she wasn't in power; her husband and son were. True, but she also didn't want to be inconvenienced by people mentioning the "body bags" coming home from Iraq. Spare me the let's not criticize the dead, that's ridiculous. Especially since when black men are killed by cops or someone like George Zimmerman the media is always quick to point out their cannabis usage. Some people on the right were smearing Trayvon Martin by claiming he was an entirely different person, that's literal. They said the media was lying and Zimmerman was attacked by a man which in no way resemble the actual victim. When Jimmy Carter got cancer people like Ann Couter said "a cancer has a cancer". Are conservatives offended that people criticized Barbara Bush? I don't care. I could research all the ways she was a flawed human being but I have better things to do. She's not worth my attention.
CBS claims ads are running on nazi videos and left-wing conspiracy shows like Jimmy Dore. I am actually going to split from the left echo chamber and say Dore has conspiracy elements to his show particularly surrounding Russia. Though the example CBS brings up is a very poor one. Yes! Many people are questioning who done the chemical weapon attack in Syria; including myself! It's not as if your government has never lied about war. See last entry. It is very convenient to scare advertisers away from independent media since they are not spending money with you. Here's the problem; many young people do not trust traditional media, and perhaps you can thank your Dear Leader for labeling you fake news on right. On the left independent media serves them better. If your industry is irrelevant to more and more of the population these scare tactic articles will only go so far; perhaps you should make a better product! | |||

Buffoon Lawyer, Syria, Pulse nightclub |
|||
|
Finally some actual news. Buffoon's lawyer got his office raided. You have to be really bad at crime to get your lawyer's office raided. It looks like the lawyer broke the law by paying off Stormy Daniels in the middle of the campaign. Privilege doesn't apply if you commit a crime as a lawyer but I don't know how far reaching this is. It probably still applies in unrelated matters. So don't get too excited. However if the lawyer has committed a crime he could probably turn against his client. Also if this is his way of doing business has he made similar mistakes in other areas? Wait and see.
Syria apparently launched another chemical attack resulting in firepower from the U.S. Whether the Syrian government actually launched such weapons, fuck knows! The attack last year was not confirmed as being from the Syrian government. It could be the other side for all we know, even a host on Fox News has pointed this out, along with independent outlets like TheYoungTurks. Why would Assad launch a chemical attack soon after the U.S. announced they're leaving? This would be counter productive. This sounds like Iraq has weapons of mass destruction to me. Any time a government says that they're going to war because, I am just going to assume they're lying. Also the U.S. declaring war always makes things worse. Topple Assad and Islamic radicals are waiting to take over. It's a no win situation, for fuck sakes leave it alone. It would be helpful if foreign governments took this line instead of saying that the attack was understandable. People including myself got things wrong about the Pulse nightclub shooting. I don't know why this is only just coming out now. The shooter wasn't on gay dating apps and had not visited the gay nightclub before. He intended to shoot up another nightclub but it was closed. From the information at the time he looked like a self hating closeted homosexual but it seems that he was just a regular terrorist. | |||

Whitehouse, YouTube |

Orange Buffoon said something remarkibly stupid. Of course he did. This is nothing new but let's laugh at it anyway. On easter he did a speech to kids and he was praising the military, because apparently kids really care about that. That wasn't even the funniest part. He said that his people keep the building in tippy toppy shape and the building that he was in had no name; he was talking about the Whitehouse, so pretty sure it had a name! The only way that I can explain that is he was just rambling crap without really knowing what he was saying or putting a coherrent thought together. Again, nothing new but found this hilarious.
A woman did a shooting at YouTube headquarters, I am mainly covering this to say that it could have happened anywhere as it is the United States, shootings happen everywhere; the YouTube community is sensatoning this. People are frustrated about ads being pulled off their videos. Of course it is not a reason to go on a shooting spree but crazy people are not rational. On a personal note I am not happy about not being a YouTube partner anymore but I was only making $1 per year from videos, so meh! | |||

VA, Roseanne |
|||
|
The head of veterans health-care has been fired because he was resisting moves to do privatizations; good for him. His replacement is the guy that gave the press conference about Dear Leader's health. His experience at running a programme like the VA. Fuck all. Compliment Buffoon, you'll get promoted. Privatization will be a fucking disaster. Right wing 101: Under fund something so it breaks then scream privatization as the solution. You just add an profit incentive with privatization which despite the right wing fantasy leads to worse services as corporations try to squeeze as much profit out with of it as they can.
Let's talk about Rosanne because I am sick of covering the Buffoon show. I may reduce these blogs; it's becoming unbearable. Rosanne, former green party candidate for President, now a Buffoon supporter. What the fuck? I really think she's gone nuts as I saw an interview with her a few years ago, she was rambling about evil. Her reasoning doesn't really add up on supporting Buffoon as she claimed the people wanted change but 2.9 million more voted for Hillary. You could legitimately claim that the people wanted a change from neoliberalism despite this but Orange Buffoon is not that change. He is a racist asshole appointing Goldman Sachs and an oil CEO to his cabinet, oh I almost forgot people who have nazi ties. I really don't think people were looking for that change. It would be like looking for a bird, and instead of finding that cute little singing bird, you find a bear that beats and eats you, then your family goes bankrupt from the debt that you left behind. I know what you're thinking; my stories are wonderful; I should write novels. Perhaps she is one of those people who think Orange Buffoon could blow up the system but people who think like that are taking risks, there is absolutely no guarantee that if the system does blow up, the poor will benefit. it didn't in 2008 after all. Ensuring that actual progressives are elected is probably the only way to do that. | |||

Buffoon departures, Cambridge Analytica |
|||
|
H.R. McMaster resigned, was Buffoon's National Security Adviser, now being replaced with a war hawk neocon that still thinks the Iraq war was a good idea. Apparently Buffoon didn't consider him first time because of his moustache but he thought that he did well on Fox News so he is now hiring him. I am not making this up, this isn't satire, this is the news today. The Deputy Attorney General was fired days before he was scheduled to retire. Apparently this is because the administration wants to discredit him as bitter if he testifies down the track.
Cambridge Analytica. Facebook has gotten themselves into a cluserfuck as this company was able to steal the data of tens of millions of users. That is not something that you just missed. You know when a company is sucking gigabytes of data. You can't blame Orange Buffoon because he probably didn't know, he doesn't know much of anything. Political parties building profiles of voters is just standard practice even if they are building information with door to door tactics. I think that the problem is when they illegally acquire information, obviously they shouldn't do that. This is true for the private sector. Big data is big business. Especially for advertising and now social media companies. A decade ago it was ad servers that would build a profile of you. Now social media companies are doing it and people are volunteering their information. ID thieves could have a field day and for social media they don't even have to be a staff member. VPNs are no good because then they just have the information themselves. I don't have a solution but ensuring there is regulations around data storage would be good, then again companies can just incorporate anywhere in the world. There is no solution, we're all fucked! | |||

Tillison, Replacements, NZ Greens, American Idol |
|||
|
Rex Tillison was voted off the island; he was fired. This came after he said that Russia was probably responsible for the poisoning in the UK of a Russian spy. (which it probably was, anybody that gives Putin the benefit of the doubt is just trying to view Putin in a more positive light, which is just fucking bizarre coming from some on the left. Putin is an anti gay dictator who invades places with a history of ordering his political enemies to be killed but when an ex Russian spy is attacked with a substance unique to Russia we apparently not suppose to jump to the most obvious conclusion in the world. I'm not saying don't investigate, but we don't have to be Putin apologists for fuck sakes) Rex previously called Orange Buffoon a fucking moron, I'm surprised that the firing didn't happen sooner.
His replacement appears to be the current CIA director who seems to be a puppet for the Koch family. So from one oil company puppet to another oil company puppet, what part of this is drainning to swamp? The new CIA head approved torture programs and probably should be in prison. Thanks Obama for not prosecuting torturers. In related news the new Economic Adviser may be a CNBC contributor that didn't predict the financial collapse or the housing bubble and also believes in trickle down economics. This person is basically a reality denier that fucks up constantly. A perfect match for Orange Buffoon. The Greens in New Zealand have done a deal with National to give them some of their questions. National is the opposition, this is fucking stupid. Is James Shaw aware that we don't live in the U.S.A. where working with your opposition is fetishized? By the way when that is done it's never to the benefit of the left. Hillary Clinton wanted to work with Republicans, that worked out well for her. If the Greens wanted to make the government transparent the best way to do that is ask the questions yourself instead of giving your opposition air time. If the goal was to pick up National voters. Again, Hillary Clinton thought similarly, good luck with that. For people who want a National Green government, it will only lead the death of the Greens as their left-wing base will go elsewhere. What Green supporter is like "Gee, I really wish that National got to ask the government more questions" no fucking body has said that, what the fuck? Katy Perry kissed a male 20 year old American Idol contestant. My feeling is the boy wanted his first kiss to be special, and that should have been respected. I will give the benefit of the doubt that it wasn't known. Some are labeling this sexual harassment, while true, this is also TV, not that it excuses the behaviour but I guess things happen and some people look on it differently. If this was arranged prior I wouldn't have a problem, this isn't about the age gap it's about consent. Poor judgment from the people at Idol, great publicity stunt from a show nobody cares about but extremely poor execution. An apology and compensation of some sort could be the best course of action. | |||

Boring news, Democrates |
|||
|
The news is getting boring.
Stormy Daniels news, don't care, boring. Two people left the Buffoon administration, people leave every few weeks. The top economic adviser has left; he got his tax cuts, now no reason to stay and get dragged down with the Buffoon administration. The Communications Director offended Buffoon by saying her job was to tell lies for him, gone. I don't want to cover Russia news. The Democrates are helping Republicans to deregulate the banks including allowing banks to hide information on racial discrimination. You would think that they would be smarter and realize their base is going to hate them for it, apparently not. Meanwhile Corey Booker and Kisten Gilibrand have stopped taking corporate PAC money, in short because they want to be President and think that this will play well with the base. No corporate PAC money doesn't mean no big money, they can still hold fund raisers with rich donors. Corey Booker is a corporatist. Kirsten Gilibrand seems to be a shape shifter that adjust her beliefs depending on who she wants votes from; she had a reputation as being a corporate democrate, now apparently she's a progressive. My gut feeling is you should trust people that have been progressive all along rather than people that may be doing it for theatre; Bernie Sanders, Tulsi Gabbard, Nina Turner and to a lesser extent Elizabeth Warren. | |||

Parkland fallout |
|||
|
Conspiracy theorists allege the Parkland survivors are paid actors. If you think this you may want to commit yourself to somewhere, or see a councillor, or read up on critical thinking. if your first thought after a tragedy is ACTORS, there's probably something wrong with your brain. George Soros is probably not funding them, but even if he was, and? So Soros is helping survivors of a school shooting with their gun control cause, uhhhhh good for him I guess? But George Soros is not funding the activities and the people who say this are paranoid idiots that say Soros is behind everything. I try not to call groups of people idiots now, but I will make an exception for conspiracy nutjobs.
Alex Jones had two copyright strikes because of this. Liberals say that it would be bad if he lost his channel. I disagree. He slanders people and should be sued, perhaps constantly. Accusing school shooter survivors of being actors is slander and he should be sued. His followers are paranoid morons with guns. If there's a legal way to stop him; I say go for it. You would be doing the public a service. Someone already showed up at a pizza shop with a gun because of some whacky Hillary Clinton conspiracy theory, who's next? I believe in legal action. If YouTube by itself wants to shut him down, I wouldn't have a problem with that since he slanders people, however that means that they can take such action for any view whatsoever. (which they can anyway) Legal action is a much better way to do this. Republicans now want to arm teachers. I am sure that giving guns to underpaid, stressed out teachers dealing with problematic students would be a great idea, why not just arm the students too? You wonder what the republicans are thinking, sounds like the wild west. Wouldn't they just aim for the teachers first? Let alone if guns are taken by a student, or a teacher snaps. This has disaster written all over it. Banning assault rifles from being sold is the only thing that is going to help in this situation. The fact is that hand guns and knives don't do as much damage. This is completely obvious! | |||

Drug dealers and Ecstasy |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon thinks that drug dealers should be killed. This sounds like the Philippines president to me and he in my opinion is an even worse lunatic than Buffoon. Now Buffoon is echoing that lunatic. Does Orange Buffoon also want to kill the manufactures of opiods whose drugs kill about 90 people a day in the US alone? I am guessing no. They're rich. They wear suits. He only wants to kill the drug dealer across the street. If that solution worked countries wouldn't keep have to keep murdering drug dealers. They have murdered about 10,000 drug dealers and users in the Philippines and the number keeps climbing. Death doesn't seem to be a deterrent. What would help is funding treatment programmes and making drugs as safe as possible including legalization. With unregulated drugs anything can be in them.
New Zealand has recently had bad batches of Ecstasy which could be fatal. You also had bad batches of beer back in the day. If it is illegal anything can get in. Regulation of drugs would stop this. As stated before you need to fund addiction programs to combat that side of things. You also need to educate people including doctors. Doctors don't want always know the harm products like benzos can cause over the long term, I imagine this is the same for opiods. | |||

Indictments, Shooting, Justin Trudeau |
|||
|
Muller indicated 13 people connected to Russia for interfering in the US elections. What they would do is stir up stuff online and have bots to again stir shit. As a nerd, I find this interesting. They would attack both sides of an issue, retweet fake news. The main benefactor was Orange Buffoon but they provided a tiny bit of attention to Bernie Sanders and Jill Stien. However it's clear they were giving the overwhelming support to Buffoon. The indictments are not connected to the Buffoon campaign, but that's probably coming.
Yet another school shooting happened. Many progressives are sick of commenting on gun control including myself as nothing will be done. The only point I will bring up is people on the right say that we shouldn't talk about gun control because we're apparently politicizing tragedy; this has always been an absurd position, note they don't say when gun control CAN be talked about. I bring this up because there were interviews after the fact and at least three people were advocating for gun control. So when victims are advocating for gun control, it's time to do something about it. However, that won't happen and this will just keep happening. The President says it's mental health. I am not sure he's the right messenger for that. The President has also weakened laws on people who have a mental illness getting guns. People that have mental illness also are in other countries, the difference is they don't have access to assault rifles. Justin Trudeau corrected a woman. He told her to say peoplekind not mankind because it's more inclusive. People like Justin Trudeau allow people like Dave Rubin to completely misrepresent the left and say we're all about social issues, this is utter bullshit. The fact is Trudeau is just another neoliberal like Hillary Clinton, a person who is unserious about solving other people's problems in favour of their wealthy donors. They make things only a tiny bit better while focusing on social issues. These people are not the left, real lefties wish they would all fuck off. So saying these people represent the left is not accurate; these people are conservatives pretending to be left and frankly we should kick them out of our parties. We should have people that fight for living wages, universal college/health-care etc. Justin Trudeau like Obama was good at acting but be warned that is not a good long term strategy. | |||

Resignation, Russia |
|||
|
Another Buffoon aide has resigned for sexual abuse allegations. I can't remember his name and don't really care. The most interesting aspect of this story is why the allegations surfaced. Some say it's a power play to get rid of a John Kelly ally and eventually John Kelly himself. He is from my understanding the more reasonable ones in the Whitehouse so if he goes grab the popcorn it'll be more insanity.
Apparently the Dutch hacked Russia and saw people literally hacking the DNC. I say apparently because this sounds too convenient. If anything is going to doubt the Russia story it's convenient facts like this. Note to everyone. DON'T TAPE PEOPLE HACKING INTO THINGS! I don't want to be regarded as a conspiracy theorist, so let's say it's true. This is yet another example of FBI and CIA incompetence. Remember the iPhone that the FBI couldn't get into and they had to get a private company to do it? Apparently you don't find the best and brightest in American intelligence. Why did the Dutch uncover this and not Uncle Sam? Finally a top figure in US cyber security said that Russia successfully hacked the voting system of 22 states. It's largely unknown what they did. I would be very interested in what they did in swing states. Not just the voting system itself but throwing people off rolls. Perhaps a more important question is why the US allow itself to be hacked? I think that they should go back to paper ballots. Someone suggested block chain voting, I was dismissive at the time but maybe it's worth considering if an electronic system must be used. I still say paper and you can trust me as a technology enthusiast. Technology is probably not the best option. | |||

Memo, Deep State, Stormy Daniels |
|||
|
I am not sure what to cover with this memo bullshit, because it's bullshit. Republicans freaked out that there was a memo that was supposed to clear Orange Buffoon and open a new investigation into Hillary Clinton, or something. Anyway it turns out it was written by Republicans, and basically just explains what their interpretation of the investigation is. So the memo was totally worthless.
Republicans are also going on about a secret society and a deep state after a recent text message questioned whether someone was going to a meeting of the secret society. Any normal person would interpret that as a joke, but not tinfoil hat Republicans. They think that this non existant secret society is trying to overthrow Buffoon. By the way if Dear Leader is so great, why is he allowing this to happen? Isn't he in charge of everything? (except the justice department) Is he that incompetent that he can't control his own agencies? Actually, probably. However there is no plot to overthrow him. He probably would already be in jail or assassinated if that was the case. Instead there are legitimate investigations happening to find out what went on with Russia. Finally Farron Cussins from The Ring O Fire radio argued that the Stormy Daniels story mattered because if campaign money was used to pay her off that's a felony. While technically true campaign laws are broken all the time including by the Clintons, though I don't know if they broke them to such a serious degree. I don't think he would go down for breaking campaign laws; there's probably more viable routes legally to take him down. | |||

Stormy Daniels |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon had an affair with a porn star named Stormy Daniels. Let me first say if I was rich I would have sex with porn stars too. If anything he should be praised for having a consential relationship. There are at least a dozen relationships when consent wasn't granted, which obviously makes them much worse. The only reason why this is news is it is with a porn star. It is nothing but sensatonism. I am covering this because part of this blog is criticizing the media. I won't go into too many further details of the story, he should not have cheated on his wife, but I am not the marriage police, i don't even like the concept of monogamyI don't care. That is between him and his wife, which already seemed to hate him before all this.
The news organization that was sitting on the story was criticized for not releasing it before the election. I however seriously doubt that it would made a difference. It was known that he committed sexual assault before the election, this is no worse, if you think that it is, you're an idiot. However since the margns were so thin in several purple states he won I guess that it is possible. Finally he paid her off to not tell anyone but the story was released anyway by a magazine that interviewed her before the pay off occurred. Typical winning from Buffoon. People have renewed interest in the pee tape because he now has a history of paying people off to cover up sexual activity. Personally I don't think that it makes it more or less likely. Just think that it exists. Because why the fuck not? | |||

Government shut down, Jacinda Ardern |
|||
|
One year into Buffoon's presidency, the government is shut down. I thought he was good at making deals; he's like a smart person at making deals. A very stable genius at making deals! There are people who want to see if a business negotiator would be better than politics as usual. Considering no major reforms have past congress apart from the tax cuts and the government has shut down after a year, I think you have your answer! There are people who claim Buffoon is succeeding, but what does that mean? He's succeeding at making the rich richer. Some people point to economic growth, but there was economic growth under Bush too, then after about seven years it collapsed. The same thing will happen here, do you know why? In trickle down economies when deregulation is also a factor people get greedy and take more and more risk, sooner or later it blows up in everyone's faces and they have to get a bail out. Also due to the tax cuts companies are buying back their own stock, that's called market fixing. I thought corporations were going to use tax cuts for job growth. Turns out, no! While many are boosting about bonuses, the same companies are cutting jobs. The rich are just pocketing the tax cuts. What a surprise.
Over in New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is having a baby after three months in she was pregnant before the election but found out last month. I have a different point of view than many liberals. Firstly I have no interest in people's personal lives, particularly when it comes to the royal family; I don't want to see their baby photos, wedding pictures, don't care, boring. I immediately thought of a media frenzy, and it has already happened. So that's what we have for the next few years. Secondly about Clarke being a stay at home dad, great, but wages are so low the majority can't afford to do that. So maybe Jacinda should consider that point. Also if it was any other job the employer would not be thrilled. Jacinda is lucky, especially if in a 90 day right to sack environment. However people should realize that politicians and employees are allowed to have lives. Labour should form employment law accordingly. Employers telling people what to do in their private lives is a massive problem. | |||

Orange Buffoon, Oprah |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon called Hatti a shit hole, everyone is outraged. I think I am just going to let them be outraged for me rather than writing yet another Orange Buffoon is an insensitive prick story.
It's a never ending cycle Buffoon is an insensitive prick. Says something horrible Everyone is outraged This is fucking boring now It's like an untrained dog who shits on the carpet, yeah that's what he does, get used to it. The difference is a dog can be trained. And while the media oxygen is sucked on the two billionith racist thing Buffoon said the muli billion utterly pointless wall is being considered for funding, no DACA deal, Democrates and Republicans agreed to continue spying on their citizens. For international reasons the shit hole story has some importance but there's more significant shit going on. Oprah gave a speech and now people want her to run for president. People love Oprah, she pretty much universally liked. Let me go against popular opinion as usual. First she created TV quack doctors like Doctor Oz and Doctor Phil; one devotes over a half of his show to false information, the other allegedly gives addicts drugs and alcohol before shows. Strike one, you're out! That's enough for me to view her as incredibly sketchy. Sorry Oprah cult. She also has someone on her show telling people to stick a substance in their vagina claiming they will age slower. She also devoted a show to the Iraq war having war mongers on. You may argue she was just going towards the trend and perhaps was uneducated, but again the medical stuff is sketchy and she's not worth considering further. Additionally she has a reputation of being a-political. OK, so why do people want her as president? I keep saying that policy doesn't matter, this is just another example of it. Mike from The Humanist Report also points out the her entire thing is branding, just like the current president. She has a TV channel and Magazine named after her. She's also a billionaire, though devotes her show to hearing stories. An analyst on that is she promotes self improvement rather than fairness when it comes to economics. To me this is what religions do; never mind that your circumstances are shitty, just prey (or watch my TV show) and you will be inspired or some shit. She does give to charities, let's give her the benefit of the doubt and assume they're not complete scams like the Buffoon charities. In conclusion she promotes sketchy things and has no policy at all. A big NO for me. I probably wouldn't trust her even if she came out as being super progressive, maybe if she came out with who would be her administration. Other than that she should be dismissed. | |||

Lorde, book |
|||
|
Following the last entry someone with obviously too much money took out a newspaper advertisement claiming Lorde and New Zealand are anti-semitic. Firstly criticizing Israel is not anti-semitism no more than criticizing Orange Buffoon is bigoted against the United States. About a hundred countries have criticized Israel on issues mainly their illegal occupation. All of them aren't anti-semitic, OK? Second if you want actual anti-semitism perhaps you should look at the White House. People with nazi ties are in the current administration let alone former chief strategist Steve Bannon. The dear leader called people on both sides very fine people in response to a nazi rally and previously retweeted nazi propaganda. Look at your own fucking country before making bullshit claims.
Michael Wolf has a new book out. If you haven't heard of Michael Wolf before, that's okay, nobody has. Basically he wrote a book about how everybody in the white house thinks the Dear Leader is stupid and crazy. He was able to get quotes from the majority of the aides and they all said the same way thing. I don't know how much I will cover this as the fact Orange Buffoon is stupid is a running theme of this blog; but again everyone in the White House thinks so. We know that Rex Tillison called him a moron and there has been countless stories on how he cannot pay attention to anything. They have to give him information in 140 characters and mention he's great. He's a complete idiot, I have maintained this all along. If you think he's a secret genius and it's all an act, you're possibly as dumb as him. This book also reveals that his wife was crying on the election night, but not tears of joy. One of his sons looked like he had seen a ghost when he realized his dad could actually win. I go back and forth with whether it was a serious campaign or not, I think that I am back in the not camp. I was also amused by the fact Rupert Murdoch called him a fucking idiot. Buffoon's response, he's like a smart person and a very stable genius. He also says that his greatest asset is his mental stability. Well, I am convinced. Who the fuck says these things? Well apparently Orange Buffoon. If if was me, I think that I would resign. I'd probably resign in embarrassment six months ago, but I'm not completely crazy and wouldn't do 90% of the shit he does! Seriously, he should take his money and fuck off. Perhaps the best thing the Buffoon family could do is get Orange into care and play the role of the caring family. They probably don't have the collective intelligence to do this, so their brand is fucked. Do I feel bad? No I don't. | |||

Taylor Swift, Lorde |
|||
|
I don't like Taylor Swift! I do like her music but as a person and corporate identity she's a shitty person. Here is an example: A random website labelled her as being pro white supremacy because she hasn't spoken out against it; a ridiculous argument on its face. Her legal team went on and issued take down notices. Firstly she also complains about royalties on spotify but if she really wanted to acquire more money perhaps she should stop paying lawyers to do stupid things like this. Secondly obviously she has not learned of the Streisand effect. Nobody knew of such blog posts until she got her lawyers on to it. If it was me I would have just sent a tweet: We're all equal, down with white supremacy! The fact that she couldn't do that... Well maybe she's pro white supremacy. Maybe under that long blond hair there is a Swastika tattoo! I am asking to be sued, I need the publicity.
Lorde refuses to go to Israel because its government is oppressing the Palestinians. I am split on the issue. I absolutely believe in sanctions, but sanctions work only if the items are valuable. Sorry Lorde but you're not that valuable. I also note that she is punishing fans in Israel that do not agree with the government. She could quite as easily do the same with the US over meddling in world affairs, fueling wars etc. I expect that would hurt her bottom line more. What she should do instead is go to Israel and promote peace, and if she felt that strongly write a song about the situation and launch it there. I have a history of going to Australia and making fun of its political figures, so if I was in her situation that is something I'd consider doing. | |||

Justice Democrats and Cenk Uygur |
|||
|
Cenk Uygur and Kyle Kulinski have resigned from the board of Justice Democrats; a movement designed to get corporate money out of the Democrat Party. This is a massive fuck up by almost everyone involved. Blogs surfaced of Cenk written in 2000 calling girls whores and trannies and saying they're genetically flawed because they didn't want to have sex with him. This was in 2000; since this time he changed from being conservative to a liberal and now runs a show people probably accused of being too feminist friendly, well by people I mean assholes but that's beside the point. His show does hire one in particular "fringe feminist" that says stupid shit such as a wink is like sexual assault and two men shouldn't say disgusting things about women over email, ok but you're living in a fantasy world if you think that you can police such thoughts. My point is Cenk has evolved and is a feminist and his TheYoungTurks network also echos this. I am a feminist too, but some people are utterly ridiculous, like with any group; there's utterly ridiculous disability advocates too. We're going off topic!
Cenk's blogs and tweets were reckless and stupid, but some people evolve. He would tweet nothing like that now. Now we get to the Justice Democrats. First they created this entire drama. If I was in their position, it's an open question whether I would have done the same. Honestly considering it was 18 years ago and he doesn't think like that now. I would have solely weighed the public backlash. If I don't think it was significant, there would be no way I am asking for resignations. Kyle resigned and that was fucking stupid. He better hope the movement doesn't get hijacked. I would have stayed on and ensured the movement stayed on track. Then again would the media dig up some crazy thing he said in the past too? He is standing by Cenk by doing this, but strategically this was a terrible move. Two main lessons here 1. I was right not to go into politics or get too famous. I constantly say crazy shit and this is deliberate. I would rather continue making technology and productions/music than fuck around with the media. Other people are welcome to the fame; the media can piss off. I'd rather get rich with software. People point to the president to say people like honesty but he lost by 3 million votes. Also he's psychologically incapable of honestly, but let's forget he exists for the remainder of this post. 2. Keep control of your own movements otherwise they'll screw you. I have always held on to ownership of what I create, this does have its downsides but keeping control is good. I do question the motivation; was were the blog posts just an excuse to get rid of him? I hope not. Also who's behind the revealing of information? Was it a right wing troll who tries to get people fired? Or did it come from the Establishment Left. Finally I don't endorsed the blogs or tweets but let me be clear if it was just Cenk complaining that he doesn't get laid I'd give him a pass and would be much harsher on the Justice Democrats. He was probably just bullshitting with the genetically flawed stuff but if not he definitely doesn't think this way now, the language was also extreme. Saying it's an ocean of tits and he wants to swim, sorry but if you're offended you can fuck off, I don't see this as anything more than guy talk. The language at the beginning is more the issue. He was young and stupid. It's a shame he was punished for something nearly two decades old. Watching him for five years I know he's a different person. If I was him I would just find more strategic ways of doing things. | |||

Viral video about bullying |
|||
|
Some kid made an anti bullying video that went viral, then it turns out that his mum is a white supremacist. I will use this story to explain how stupid humanity is. First point: There are millions of bullying victims across the globe but people gave $51,000 to this kid. People can do what they want with their money, but I find this weird and stupid. There are probably numerous victims at their local school, but they gave money to this random person on the internet. Senseless! Humans are visual people, if they can't see it, they don't care. It's the same with stand up comedy, people don't care that I spent my entire working life programming; they only like the posts when I mention that I am doing stand up. Even though the whole reason that I am about to do stand up comedy is that I built software to pause lines. People only recognize me as a stand up comedian. You could adapt use climate change as an example; for years people have been denying it and still do, but less people are denying it due to major disasters. This is humanity's problem; it is obsessed with visual things and celebrities. Another example with comedy is people recognize characters like Sheldon Cooper as the actor, but the character wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the writers and producers. People need a face otherwise they are not interested. This is humanity's weakness. Extending this to politics, people are more comfortable voting for candidates that they feel like they have a beer with for example George W Bush or John Key in New Zealand. In New Zealand they changed the Labour leader three months out from an election; it was an instant 7 percentage point boost. as a policy wonk and screen writer this is a bit depressing, but facts are facts. Humanity largely is stupid and only care about what's directly in front of them.
As for people giving to a random white supremacist family; that's on them for sending money to a person based on one video. AngryAussie pointed out that this has similarities to Kony 2012. Everyone was happily raising money until it turns out the guy went bonkers. You don't always know who is behind the cause. If people care so much about bullying may I suggest again stopping it in their own neighborhood. | |||

Orange Buffoon, Al Frankin |
|||
|
Not much of interest going on.
Orange Buffoon used a racial slur in front of native Americans. He is racist. Knew that. Boring. Micheal Flynn plead guilty to charges involving Russia. This is also boring but could lead to other developments. It is assumed that he will give up other information in exchange for a deal. Buffoon is now denying the Access Hollywood tape is real, which considering he apologize for it is another lie. Duh. My question is why is the media giving so much coverage to this. This is just another crazy thing Buffoon said probably meant to distract from Roy Moore's allegations from females that were minors at the time. I doubt that he beliefs his own bullshit this time. Then again according to reports he is still going on about Obama's birth certificate. So who knows how crazy he is? However it is probably more likely that he is outright lying about the tape. I really don't know why Buffoon commented on Roy Moore, all it did was further remind people he Buffoon has more than a dozen allegations against him. While Roy Moore was banned from a Mall for coming on to teenagers, Orange Buffoon liked going into the dressing room of Miss Teen USA. It is neck and neck between Roy Moore and Doug Jones in the Senate race. I guess a problem is that the Republicans don't trust the media and don't believe the women, I guess that the latter is a problem with intelligence but also sexism. To be clear I wouldn't care if all parties were at least at the age of consent. This is not what we're talking about. People are losing jobs because of their behaviour, time will tell if this includes Roy Moore. Al Frankin resigned over sexual harassment allegations. Cenk Uygur from TheYoungTurks is a bit skeptical of the more anonymous allegations and Frankin didn't accept responsibility of his resignation speech. My take; he took responsibility for one act a few weeks ago. If he didn't do the others, that's on him to fight. He didn't, so he is the weakest link, good bye! Either he is a serial harasser or is incapable of defending against smears, either way I wouldn't want him in office. | |||

Net Neutrality |
|||
|
Net neutrality is about to be killed, there seems nothing anybody can do as the person making the decision formally worked as a lawyer for an ISP. It's important to note this only affects the US but other countries may follow suit. In New Zealand we have about ten ISPs so we shouldn't be that concerned. However companies can always cooperate together and do certain things, but there's no sign that will happen. Back to the US, there are only two main internet providers and they mostly stay out of each other's areas so it's pretty much a monopoly. Side note, there is no fibre in some parts of the US, sounds backwards. Anyway the change would mean that the providers can slow down specific sites. The potential uses of this would be slowing down your competition, slowing down certain sites until they pay you, perhaps they don't like sites that are critical of them or the beliefs of their executives like this site and they slow them down. I have owned sites basically half my life. You have to pay for hosting, you could also additionally pay the ISPs that deliver content to the customers if the change happens. The ISPs already get revenue from their customers. This is how the internet is supposed to operate. Anybody can get to whatever site/service that is operational at the time. This change would give ultimate control to the ISPs. If you don't like the government telling you what you can access, would a corporation doing it be any better? If you say yes, you're probably an idiot. Taking the control to the extreme; if an ISP doesn't like TheYoungTurks they could they tell YouTube and Facebook to shut them down or they'll penalize them. Same thing with Alex Jones if he accused the executives of hosting a donkey fucking ring. (the appropriate action would be suing him) I personally don't think they'll censor but rather make the giants pay them, but I don't know. Other companies could theoretically pay them to penalize their competition.
I can see only one solution; people have to build an ISP as an social enterprise. Nobody is suggesting this but not considering this is a mistake; you could probably crowd fund the startup costs and start in the most profitable areas, then expand. The same thing could be done with health insurance. If I had the money maybe I would do it myself. It's beyond bonkers that people aren't doing this already. | |||

CPTPP |
|||
|
I thought that TPP was dead, apparently not! There's a new version called CPTPP which is basically TPP without the United States. As I understand it it's a bit watered down for New Zealand; corporations can't sue us to change our laws, can restrict who owns property. So things are a bit better. However I simply don't see the evidence trade deals are worthwhile. Trade deals are basically outsourcing deals and ultimately cost jobs. I am skeptical that signing it would be beneficial. In New Zealand there was no way to ensure we didn't get the TPP out of the recent election. Sure, you could have voted Greens or New Zealand First who won't vote for it, but we're getting the TPP anyway, so what fucking good does that to? Look, progressives need to go to where the power is, not isolated in some hippy party which can be ignored when it suits.
Meanwhile, it's not completely dead in the United States; from my understanding they're quietly signing agreements with individual countries without calling it the TPP, CPTPP, or whatever pee abbreviation it's going under. | |||

Indictments, Mueller, Donna Brazile revelations |
|||
|
Three people from the Buffoon campaign have been indicted including Paul Manaford and his business partner. Paul was Buffoon's campaign manager until he had to quit because of ties to Russia. No surprises he was indicted. George Papadopoulos has also plead guilty to crimes including Buffoon and Russia; he was working closely with them including trying to get Buffoon to go to Russia during the campaign, that didn't happen. Buffoon insiders knew of his connections, apparently this includes Jeff Sessions who previously denied about knowing anybody involved with Russia on the Buffoon campaign, a clear lie. The investigation is still ongoing and these developments shouldn't be dismissed because they will likely lead to bigger prosecutions later.
Cenk Uygur had the right idea; the republicans are only going after Hillary Clinton's deal with Russia because Robert Mueller was high ranking at the FBI at the time of the FBI's approval of the deal. So progressive shows that are harping on about the story which was dead for a year are doing nothing but help republicans. Progressives are shitting themselves about Donna Brazile's revelation of the fact that the DNC were rigging the primaries. Yawn, didn't everybody already knew this? Some aspects of it were still interesting. Obama starved the DNC of cash and the current chair at the time (who was also Hillary's former campaign chair prior) didn't go after fund raising like previous chairs. You can make up your own mind whether the lack of fund raising was intentional by the chair. By happy coincidence Hillary had to inject money into the DNC and the organization started working for her. This was before the so called neutral primary was over. Again the fact that it was a rigged primary isn't new information but the fact that the DNC was basically brought by Hillary is. | |||

Duh: Russia and entertainment predators |
|||
|
A few duh stories for you
A republican, Hillary Clinton and the DNC were behind the famous dossier. Duh. It's called opposition research. This is not particularly interesting. Some people suggest that this proves Hillary Clinton and the DNC were working together all along as the DNC payments to the company behind the dossier were from April 2016. Didn't we already know they were working together? I am struggling to find anything substantive to this story. While we are on the subject of Hillary Clinton, I was going to comment on the Hillary Clinton Russia story but I actually agree with David Pakman, this seems to be a repeat of a story a year ago. The quick gist is that Russia paid Bill Clinton for speeches near the time a deal with the Obama administration and Russia was done. Firstly we already knew about the deal a year ago and Hillary Clinton was only one of many people to approve the deal. I am not sure this story has substance to it, maybe a year ago when it was legitimately news. Since at least 80% of the facts were known then I can label it a duh story. A producer in Hollywood is a predator. Duh. I bring this up often THE ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRY IS FULL OF PREDATORS. Of course by full I don't mean everyone in the industry is a predator but proportionately I have no doubt that there are more predators in the entertainment industry. An interesting angle would be why is this? Logically people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder would be attracted to business, politics but also entertainment. Sexual abuse is more to do with power. There's a certain type of NPD that makes the person not go in the limelight but get others to do so. This perfectly explains abusive producers like Havey Weinstein, Roger Ailes, Dr Luke, Lou Pearlman. Of course you also have the Bill Cosbys, Bill O'Reillys of the world. So what is the solution? I expect that the only real solution is to create societal conditions so that there are fewer people with NPD. | |||

Orange Buffoon, New Zealand election 2017 |
|||
|
The latest bullshit is Orange Buffoon was insensitive to a woman that lost her loved one during war. Of course he was insensitive, he's Orange Buffoon. This story is boring. He told several lies during this story, blah blah blah, not interesting. Moving on.
More people are noticing Orange Buffoon is insane, even Republicans. When Republicans are calling you insane, then you have major problems. A Congressman has described the Whitehouse as an adult day care centre. There is talk of tacklling him if he orders a nuclar strike. Aides already have reported to be ignoring his more crazy requests; they try to distract him until he forgets about the requests. The after aides could be the only thing stopping World War 3. None of this is satire. This is the state of the world Series today. Psychologists have done a march because they think that Donald Trump is so unstable he needs to be removed from office. I will say again I predicted that he would be removed from office or resign in my biggest ever post election rant. I would be shocked if I was wrong. I expect he won't even last until the end of the first term. New Zealand has a government, finally, it's Labour, New Zealand First and the Green Party. I did softly predict in a Facebook comment that I thought New Zealand First would go back with Labour, so I can claim credit as being right. Conservatives were gloating that National got more votes, opps! It is obviously the three opposing parties that got more votes and that's the only thing that matters in New Zealand democracy. Honestly I didn't predict this outcome until Ardern was elected leader and from then it took me a while until I saw her as viable. I like to be a realist and not cheerlead for a side. I think that on the sole factor of the majority of New Zealand First being against National and at least some fractions of the party are deologically closer to Labour, the right result was reached. | |||
|
|||
Rex Tillerson, NFL |
|||
|
Rex Tillerson called Orange Buffoon a moron. He is a moron, there is not much to say about the story. An additional part of the story was Rex wanted to resign but was talked out of it by John Kelly. Some speculate that Rex only wanted the job to lift sanctions on Russia to benefit the company Exoon Mobil which he was CEO of and they are probably correct. He may be next in line to go through.
I have avoided talking about the NFL so far and I am fucking sick of the story. However Orange Buffoon always has to take things further. This all started when Colin Kaepernick protested the national anthem by kneeling to protest the amount of black people getting shot by police. Conservative snowflakes cried and cried about it until he was fired. Orange Buffoon made it worse by calling the players \'sons of bitches" and more importantly have has now threatned the NFL's tax breaks and said that the players must get in line. Dear Leader is offended. I ultimately come out on the more moderate side. Players should do what their contract says but Orange Buffoon shouldn't be allowed to threaten players or owners. Players used to stay in the locker room when the national anthem was sung, it was only because of the Pentagon paying the NFL millions of dollars that the standing for the anthem began. It's propaganda. Additionally the NFL covers up evidence of their players getting brain damage which potentially leads to depression and suicide. They also hire domestic abusers. Fuck the NFL actually. People should stop watching it. Obviously not because of the protest. Fuck the people who say they are offended by it because the players are disrespecting the flag. Fuck off. You're a stupid person. Conservatives insist on being the victims. Black people are getting killed by police but conservatives are crying about people not standing for the national anthem. Sorry that the flag was disrespected, I will buy it some flowers. If you are offended by symbols getting offended, you are a stupid person. Flags and anthems don't have feelings, OK? You sound like a fundamentalist muslim getting pissy about someone drawing Mahummad. Try asking WHY people are protesting and try to resolve the problem, otherwise people will keep on protesting. | |||

Las Vegas, Puerto Rico |
|||
|
The worst mass shooting in the history of the US happened. I believe that I reported on another biggest ever mass shooting last year. I probably covered gun control at the time, or undoubtedly covered it when I reported on another mass shooting. I will cover different aspects this time. First, I have noticed the gun control problem is similar to the climate change problem. Taking action wouldn't necessarily stop the future events in the short term but will eventually reduce the problem. There are people who deny the cause of the problem or say there is nothing we can do about it. Politicians don't act on both issues because of corporations donating to them. Both have idiot conspiracy theorists providing alternative facts. On that note I will get to my second angle. Some conspiracy theorists are just liars; they know what they are saying is not true and their entire business model is built around lying to people, sometimes about people dying. They are scum, that call others scum. Nothing like projection! It is important to be skeptical of the media and people in power. However it is equally important not to go down rabbit holes and into fantasy land. Before I get people (being polite) saying ohhhhhhh but they've proven 9/11 was an inside job. NO THEY FUCKING HAVEN'T! For fuck sakes they have physics online that explain how the towers fell, why don't you fucking research? Oh but the towers couldn't have fallen OH SHUT THE FUCK UP, HAVE YOU SEEN MANY PLANES CRASH INTO BUILDINGS? When you say that you have seen buildings fall down you cite as evidence, not one of them had a heavy jet crashing into it, not one. If I can find physics on a 9/11 conspiracies debunked site, it shouldn't be too hard. Do you know what if you're not convinced by my unhinged rants, go and find five local physicists, don't just settle for people online, you have no idea of their credentials or motivations. Five would give a good balance in case there is one with different views.. By the way if you do that and they say it's all bullshit, feel free to let me know. OK final point on conspiracy theorists, I do genuinely hate them because they distract people from legitimate issues. You can't solve problems if you're in fantasy land with the lizard people, chemtrials, gay frogs, homosexual space cults. These people are frauds and con people out of money and time.
A hurricane hit Puerto Rico, Orange Buffoon responded late and acted like a complete clown. That's not interesting. I think that the most outrageous thing he did was say that they owe money to Wall Street after the hurricane, then say their infrastructure was in terrible shape before the hurricane. Firstly asshole, the overall infrastructure of the US gets a grade of D+. Fix your own fucking face. Secondly I agree that the President of Puerto Rico has done a terrible job, but that is also you! In fairness maybe Obama could have done better, but you're insulting victims of a hurricane, fuck you with a million rusty polls! His response was late and inadequate, why does anybody expect any different? Also stop sending him to places, every time he makes an arse out of himself so stop taking him on day trips. You're only hurting yourself America. | |||

Equifax, Russia, Tom Price, Hugh Hefner, NFL |
|||
|
Credit agency Equifax has been hacked potentially exposing 140 million customers; this included names, addresses, birth dates, social security numbers and possibly drivers licenseS for some people. Obviously the sheer number is staggering. I imagine you could make a fortune on the dark web with a tiny fraction of what was stolen. There are questions here; why not have adequate security if you're in control of that many records? Should there be more regulations in this area? (although you could just setup a website in any country without them) I have personally run membership sites with thousands of members and perhaps will again. You could theoretically start a website with millions of members with little oversight. Should this be allowed to happen? What should be the threshold? I am actually am improving security in my software with things like two factor authorization. The Equifax hack in particular was caused by software that did not have the latest patches which means it could have been prevented. I'll say something controversial: the company should shut down for this; obviously they cannot be trusted. If you're a victim of this firstly join a class action lawsuit against the company. Secondly if you are particularly worried there's something called a credit freeze that could be useful which prevents new loans from being taken out under your name.
Speaking of the internet there was a big story where Russia were buying all sorts of ads on Facebook and Twitter to influence the election; this includes everything from targeting Black Lives Matter supporters, gun rights supporters and the people opposed to these groups. It is alleged that the troll army is still active and is planning things for 2018 and 2020, they rely on low information persons to spread their message; perhaps people that do not check out who is behind a particular facebook page or website although sometimes this is not easy. Perhaps to better protect yourself don't just like every page that you agree with; see if they have verifiable information first. The Health secretary has resigned after a scandal involving private jets. I think at this point it would be quicker to name the people in the white house that haven't resigned. Tom Price was particularly corrupt because he brought stocks in companies and passing legislation to affect those company. Oh yeah you're drainning the swamp by having this guy in your administration. Hugh Heftner died, he was like a trillion years old, this cannot be a surprise to anyone. He was credited as being a pioneer as well as objectifying women. Personally I admire people who work in the industries that they are interested in, that is what I try to do, although maybe could be better at it. Whether you agree with him or not he did have an effect on the world including fighting against sodomy laws which helped out homosexuals at the time. So he was about sexual freedom in general, which isn't a bad thing. At times the world needs controversy and someone to shake things up, so to speak, he was one of those people. No interest in the NFL scandal, maybe I will cover parts of it next week. If you're offended by people kneeling, you're a giant special snowflake. | |||

Health-care, Pharma Bro, UN, New Zealand Elections |
|||
|
Not content on failing with health care twice, republicans are trying a third time. Will it pass? Probably not. This bill is even worse. There is no coverage of pre existing conditions and the number of uninsured people goes up from the last bill. Rand Paul wants more cuts, so apparently won't vote for it. There are three people who are additionally unlikely to vote for it, basically the same as last time. This is a bill that doesn't require the filibuster because it's passed in the budget process
Now for a hilarious story I forgot to post last week. No, this is actually not about Orange Buffoon. Martin Shkreli the infamous Phama Bro was sent to jail after requesting a lock of Hillary Clinton's hair on Facebook. I feel like I am writing satire, but I am not, this story is real. He was out on bai but the judge sent him to jail after thinking the post was a threat. To me, this proves rich people aren't that bright, it's his own fault he's unnecessarily sitting in jail. I almost feel bad. No I don't, not at all. Orange Buffoon went to the UN, made up the country Nambia which doesn't exists, called Kim Jon-Un rocket man and threatened North Korea. I don't have time for this shit. All I will say is if anybody is going to start a war it's Orange Buffoon and George W Bush also had nicknames for leaders like PuDePu for Putin. I am reminded of a joke. Great minds think alike, but idiots also think the same. Two republican presidents, two complete idiots. New Zealand had an election, the outcome is not great for the left but also not a total disaster, in fact we may still win. It entirely depends on Winston Peters whether he will go left or right. Now he and the Greens hate each other over some petty fucking argument they had years ago. The question is whether they can put aside their differences. Many New Zealand First voters are no fans of National. There's a real chance he will go left. I am not sure what that means for the long term stability because the public mostly hate him. Then again if he does go right he'll probably fuck the government's chances in 2020. I don't know what he'll do. I have ideas that are in limbo until I know what the king maker decides. Of course I prefer left but I have some alternate plans to enact if we get the status quo. Act is also irrelevant either way, they won't be in the next government with any luck. Good riddance to the Maori Party, if you actually represented Maori perhaps I'll be sad, you can fuck off! The Opportunities Party did not get in, absolutely no surprise to anyone that can read polls without going into some delusional conspiracy theory. Actually last thing, the polling was in fact off but surprisingly had a left-wing bias instead of a right-wing bias as the landline conspiracy lunatics would have you believe. At one point close to the election Labour was polling 42-44%, they got 36%, maybe 37% after special votes. This is a massive swing in a week or two. Two conclusions. People should shut the fuck up about polling favouring the right wing, the numbers very clearly state the opposite. Secondly we can't take too much stock in polls, although they were all over the show near the end. You can only look for the trends, percentage wise they don't appear to be accurate weeks out. The last people who should shut the fuck up are the people who say don't worry about votes early on, they're rural and Labour will increase, didn't happen! I have the data points to prove it, and I casually observed the same thing in a previous election. There's absolutely no truth to this assertion. Finally (really this time) if you're a complete moron you would take me seriously when I say shut the fuck up. Don't take my ranting too seriously, I exaggerate my feelings for comedic purposes. Don't get me wrong, you're still incorrect if you're looking at the numbers but maybe you should focus on other things instead of outright false assumptions, OK? Good! | |||

Dreamers |
|||
|
The latest drama with Buffoon Of Our Lives is he threatened to deport "dreamers" who are basically people that are undocumented immigrants but have lived in the US since they were very young. Then he didn't after a meeting with leaders from the Democrate side, Then they said a deal was made with the President. Then the President said no deal was made. The reality? He's a complete idiot with no clue what he's doing. There was a story out in which it says he listens to the last person in the room, this is completely consistent with this. The bottom line, this is a side show; it was always about making a deal with the Democrates and the business community is not going to allow a source of cheap labour to be deported. It's noteworthy that he wants to deal with the Democrates with his party can govern alone; but of course some Republicans don't want to govern and want to destroy the government. Obviously go further enough right your ideas are so unpopular you turn toxic and dysfunctional, I believe that I have said this before.
I prefer Days Of Our Lives, Friday's show ended with Wil coming back from the dead. Hell I'm not sure which is more ridiculous; DAYS or the fact Orange Buffoon is president. | |||

Hllary Clinton, disasters |
|||
|
Hillary Clinton released a new book titled What happened? Well you lost to what should have been the easiest candidate to beat ever. That's what happened. Of course she blames Bernie and Russia etc blah blah blah. She claims her aides were making her pander to progressives and told her not to alienate them. First she didn't do a very good job. Second, yeah Hillary in order to win elections you need your side to vote for you. Your aides were right. If you were a little more convincing instead of going after Republicans (who by the way have hated you for years, really smart strategy that) perhaps you would have been president. Instead I'm reporting on how much of a moron Orange Buffoon is. Thank you Hillary, thank you very much! Now take your millions of dollars, and go hide in a cave. (or probably a mansion)
Two more disasters happened or are about to an earthquake in Mexico and hurricane Irma. They should name a hurricane after the president just to see his reaction. Harvey hit Texas and oil refineries, Irma will hit America's retirement village: Florida and old people watch the climate change denying channel Fox News. There is a sad irony to this, and it is important not to take glee in people's houses possibly being destroyed, not even Rush Limbaugh's right after he called Hurricanes hoaxes. I have nothing more to add as I commented on this last week. I'll just say this his is sadly ironic and urgent action needs to be taken. | |||

Trans in military, Hurricane Harvey |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon banned trans people from the military. About a month ago he announced it via Twitter without any process behind it. A few weeks later he signed an executive order making it official. There's no schedule for removing existing trans people but it will probably be done. Buffoon cited health care costs as the reason but the military spends three times more on Viagra. Also we have covered that the Pentagon wastes tens of billions per year, they can't even account for some of the money. Orange Buffoon is simply being horrible, there is no valid reason to do this. Additionally it costs $96,000 to train and recruit a new soldier, there is 10,000 trans people in the army, do the math on that. Finally when he was called to fight in Vietnam he didn't go and went to sex parties instead, he called getting STDs his own personal Vietnam, he has absolutely no creditability when It comes to who is serving.
Hurricane Harvey has practically destroyed parts of Texas. The scenes there have been not been pretty, at least 15 people died, entire communities destroyed. I knew instinctively that sending the president to the area was a very bad idea, he did his usual buffoonish thing. Progressives are talking about climate change. The time for action on that was 20 years ago. However while future actions will not prevent the probable countless devastating storms coming it will stop a bad situation from becoming even worse. The world needs to take action on this. Luckily most of the world are not climate change deniers like the US Republicans and are taking this seriously. However we need to consider climate change a current threat and be concerned about what comes next. Probably best to move to the middle of the land unless the area get things like tornadoes or earthquakes. | |||

The absurdity of the Afghanistan war |
|||
|
The US is putting more troops in Afghanistan, 15,000 in total. At one time there was over 100,000. If they can't win with that, why would they be able to win with a fraction of that? The Afghanistan war is a lost cause, they should abort and should have aborted a decade ago. I worked out the Afghanistan war has been going on half my life. 16 years. You know what they say 17th years the charm. The best solution would be to work with the Taliban to stabilized the country; trying to defeat them hasn't worked. Actually I heard an amazing story this week that the Taliban did actually surrender in 2001 but the Bush Administration was too incompetent to register it. The surrender ceased when the US wouldn't stop attacking. This sounded unbelievable, until I remembered that they had Osama Bin Laden cornered in 2001 but Donald Rumsfield didn't send in the troops and he got away. If all this is true you are right to question whether this utter incompetence was deliberate or whether the Bush Administration had shit for brains. Remember also that George W Bush was also warned about a possible terrorist attack several months before 9/11 on vacation and told the people to go home. When right wingers get involved in foreign policy, they tend to fuck it up. To an extent this also includes Obama, but at least he was competent enough to get Bin Laden. I personally just generally assume people in power are incompetent at their job. Really, is there any clearer proof than the US election last year? In conclusion I regret not buying stocks in defense contractors after the election, the war machine rolls on.

Nazis, Steve Bannon |
|||
|
So Orange Buffoon can't adequately call out neo nazis and white supremacists. Everyone else is outraged; that's not interesting. At the beginning of the presidency I said that I believe that he had a self destructive trait in his personally. Nothing has proven me wrong. The obsession he has with calling both sides even is part of his self destructive personality. Any competent person and someone who isn't self destructive would have no problem adequately calling out white supremacists and neo nazis. It's a problem for him because he's both incompetent and self destructive. Yes it's true that the now fired Steve Bannon may have had a hand in his response, but the fact is Buffoon could not do the absolute minimum the situation required; this shows utter incompetence.
Bannon has been fired from the whitehouse; finally some good news. Steve recently did an interview where he claimed to be in charged. I don't know if he was fired because of that, or the obvious fact that he was a horrible strategist that lead the administration down a shit hole. Whatever the reason; this is good news. The question is if a new strategist can turn this administration around. I am firmly in the no camp. Again Buffoon seems entirely self destructive. With the Russia investigation and now probable trolling from Bannon's deplorable propaganda outlet, this will not get better. He openly fights with morning TV show hosts, he will probably do the same with Bannon. If a fire requires water to be put out he's there pouring petrol all over it. He has no ability to defuse situations; he only makes them worse. With Bannon gone Buffoon really has very limited friends. The people who work for him don't respect him and are constantly leaking how incompetent he is. He has fucked off both the Senate and House leaders, the Attorney General and probably countless others. Business leaders are fleeing; the manufacturing council and strategic policy forum both have shut down. Once you lose rich people and the establishment, you're on borrowed time. Especially if you're not popular. I said from the beginning that he will be impeached or resign. The ducks are almost in a row. | |||

North Korea, Charlottesville |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon threatened North Korea with "Fire and fury like the world has never seen". Everybody has blown this out of proportion. Let me explain. North Korea has a history of empty threats. When they threaten places like Guam we shouldn't take them seriously; other presidents didn't and nothing happened. They do this to make noise and for their own propaganda purposes. I have maintained from the beginning that they are very unlikely to attack, hopefully they know if they do it will be game over for the government. The difference today is we should probably ignore the US president too. EVERYTHING WITH THE PRESIDENT HAS TO BE THE BIGGEST EVER! He has size issues, we get it. Taking him at face value is a mistake. He talks shit the majority of the time. Other more rational people at the whitehouse (as rational as right wingers can be) say there is no threat and they are not going in. Unless this changes there is no need to panic.
Charlottesville, tragedy occurred out of a confederate statue removal protest. A helicopter crash, very unfortunate. One piece of violence that happened and was no accident was a radical right winger trying to run over counter protesters. Violence for a political or ideological cause has a name: terrorism. Most groups have their fundamentalists and moderates, not just muslims. I don't want to dwell on this point, I am sure other pundits are not shutting up about this. All I will stress is that it is important to try and encourage moderation in religious ideologies no matter if it is Muslim, Christian, or something else. You don't encourage moderation by calling them all terrorists, or calling them stupid. If you still do this; you are part of the problem. The Confederation wanted to keep slavery. If you are claiming heritage for the reasons to keep the statutes up please know what your heritage is. There is a case to made for ignorance. African Americans simply don't want statutes of people up that were hell bent on keeping their race as slaves. This is really what this issue boils down to. If you really feel strongly about either side a sensible course of action would be petitioning the government. If you truly live in a democracy, the majority should rule. Personally I am not a fan of tradition for tradition sake (actually I really have no time for people that think tradition should dictate our lives, assess ideas on merit) so therefore I would probably side with African Americans. | |||

Buffoon Of Our Lives update
Shaun Spicer OUT after objecting to Buffoon hiring Anthony Scaramucci Anthony Scaramucci is IN, WRONG GONE! He only lasted ten days. Only purpose appeared to fire Ryan Prebis. Ryan Prebis, obviously is gone. He was the Chief Of Staff. He was replaced by a General. Ryan came from the RNC and was seen as an more establishment figure. Scaramucci was the shortest serving Communication Director in history. There's speculation that Buffoon thought he was stealing the limelight and that is why he was fired. However Scaramucci also said "I am not like Steve Bannon, I don't try to suck my own cock" I suspect saying that about a top adviser to Buffoon was a mistake. Scaramucci was also critical of Buffoon in now deleted tweets. Whoever was behind the firing wouldn't have had a tough time convincing Orange Buffoon to do it. Meanwhile a Grand Jury has been established for the Buffoon/Russia investigation. This means that it isn't going away anytime soon and they can uncover more evidence with this procedure. They have hired a lawyer that specializes in money laundering, bribery and corruption. You don't leave your well paid private sector job for something irrelevant. Tick tock, tick tock. Buffoon's approval is now down to 33%, perfect time to go on a 17 day vacation. What's the difference? He isn't accomplishing much on the job anyway. According to a magazine he called the Whitehouse a dump. Sounds like he doesn't want to be president, lucky for him he probably will be removed from office eventually. It is so bad that psychologists have lifted their own gag rule which prevented psychologists from commenting on people that they haven't examined. The fact that Orange Buffoon may have a personality disorder isn't revolutionary information but it is quite telling that psychologists feel so strongly they modified their own ethics rules. There was a news alert on TV2 about Princess Diana's love life. What the fuck? Firstly she has been dead for 20 years. This is not news! It reminds me of a headline on CNN "Breaking news: The Titanic sunk 100 years ago today". I don't care about Diana's love life. I can think of nothing that is less relevant. I hate stories about Diana, it was the three years of constant coverage after her death that will forever haunt me. I was young, I didn't know her. It was just 3 years of the media going on about someone I had no interest in, and still have no interest in. Are people really interested in her love life at this point? Does it really deserve a TV news alert? There seems to be a resurgence of stories about her. When will it end? Seriously, I'm asking! Some want her to be left alone; she was harassed by the media during her life. Nothing has changed. The media needs to stop its unhealthy obsession with this woman. I really don't think she would want to be used for ratings and to sell papers. Either way, Diana is long gone, there doesn't need to be another news story about her, ever. Yes, I am triggered by stories of Diana. The outright excessive media coverage when she died will forever haunt me and probably has something to do with why I can't stand news media. | |||

Health-care, Linkin Park |
|||
|
I avoided talking about health care updates because I just need assumed the bill would die. The bill is now dead. How brilliant am I? With the Democrates shift to the right this allowed the Republicans to be populated by fringe right wingers. Their ideas are unpopular and incompatible with the moderates in swing states. They're pretty much the headless chicken party; flapping around accomplishing nothing. The Koch Brothers are also to blame for funding the Tea Party in 2010. They may be able to pass tax reform but much else.
Chester Bennington is dead at 41. I am just covering this because Linkin Park were my favourite rock band, particularly their earlier stuff. 41 is too young to die. He took his own life, I don't know if I have already said this but famous people could do with mental health treatment rather than yes men. This is the reason I say being famous can decrease your life span. I am grateful to have seen Linkin Park in 2013, I do regret being preoccupied with trying to keep my ex. This is also why I say see singers while you can. You never know when they might go. He had some other problems such as child abuse and substance abuse. Fame didn't help at the end of the day. You can be a famous rock star, but in the end it doesn't even matter. | |||

Eric met with foreigners regarding the campaign |
|||
|
So it turns out Eric Buffoon met with someone associated with Russia to get dirt on Hillary Clinton. I don't care what you're personal feelings are, the fact is this is illegal. I don't care about right wingers; I expect them to live in lala land. I have said before that there are a bunch of left wingers that claim that there's nothing to the russia story including people I frequently watch. It is getting to the point of denialism at this point. The mental gymnastics are becoming absurd. Here's an idea: If you don't want to talk about Russia, don't talk about russia. Left-wing russia gate truthers are sounding like republicans. Apparently most people have particular issues that they go crazy on.
The meeting was illegal, foreign entities are not allowed to give anything of value to the campaign. The fact that nothing was given is not relevant legally. Sting operations work for this reason. If he showed intent; he can theoretically be prosecuted. Saying "I love it" in response to someone saying they have damaging information on Hillary Clinton shows intent. I say theoretically be prosecuted because his father is the president. The entire Buffoon ship would need to sink before that happens, could be possible though! People are calling Eric the equivalent of the Godfather's stupid son that brings everything down. I have a problem with this. I don't think there's a stupid son in comparison to Buffoon Senior; there may be a slightly more stupid son. Orange Buffoon is a low bar for intelligence. A little person couldn't limbo under it. Einstein said stupidity was infinite, he's probably right. | |||

Fatal Fame Quest |
|||
|
This is a story that I meant to cover last week but ended up just ranting instead.
There was a couple that wanted YouTube fame. They did a stunt with a gun, now one is dead. Firstly this isn't abnormal; one of my stand up jokes was about the stupid challenges on YouTube including the Fire Challenge; setting yourself on fire, because, I don't fucking know why masses of people did that. So this is not the first dangerous stunt people did for internet fame and it won't be the last. Society glorifies fame. Let me tell you something: it isn't worth it. Get past the glorification and many famous people seem to be miserable. Kloe Kardashian compared it to be being in a wheelchair, I think it was Kloe, I don't care. Justin Bieber is a miserable fucker. Michael Jackson, errrrrrr do I really need to continue with explaining how he was messed up. Whitney Huston had problems, till death to them part, Amy Whinehouse too. Sure, I am cherry picking celebrities. However it's no coincidence that young stars frequently go off the rails; Linsay Lohan, Britney Spears, Amanda Bynes. There is no need to chase fame; it is not that great. You give up your privacy by having the paparazzi on you 24/7. A new problem is having your nudes leaks, if you aren't famous there's no incentive to violate your privacy. You can't go out in public without being annoyed. You get strange people obsessed with you and people criticize your every move. (I got pissy when someone said that they preferred my hair in a certain style, FUCK YOU I don't give a fuck about what someone on the other side the world thinks about my physical appearance) Similarly lottery winners have their lives screwed up too, but that's going on a tangent. Society glorifies fame. YouTube makes it easier than ever before to be famous. People will therefore try to get famous through any means possible. We need to stop glorifying fame and being obsessed with personalities. This probably won't happen anytime soon, so people dying caused by their need for fame is going to keep happening. | |||

Buffoon attacks morning show host |
|||
|
Ugh time for another episodes of Buffoon of our lives. I am as frustrated with this as with Days Of Our Lives; the young guys get shirtless fuck all.
The latest in this Orange Buffoon soap opera is he now insults morning show host (Mika from Morning Joe) on Twitter. Do you know what? FUCK YOU! You're the president of the United States and THIS is what you spend your time on? Oh a woman on TV called my hands small I'm going to throw a tantrom. Utterly fucking pathetic! And I thought I have wasted opportunities in my life, this man is the president of the US and too stupid to do anything with it. My dog could do a better job, AND SHE'S DEAD! Progressives are morons too, I am guessing that it wouldn't be too hard to completely hijack the White House. USE SHINY OBJECTS FOR FUCK SAKES. Advocate for single payer health-care and we'll give you a gold star, that would probably work! At minimum he should be bombarded with signs CHINA IS WINNING WITH RENEWABLE ENERGY, that may work. Again, the most powerful man on earth, tweets about a breakfast TV show host. The man is a fucking idiot. There's also blackmail allegations related to the relationship of Joe and Mika. Apparently they were told to stop covering Buffoon negatively or continue to be harassed by the National Inquirer. If this is true they should immediately press charges instead of doing story time on the TV. Whether this is real, I don't know, this is the stuff of dictators if true. It's possible they are making up this scandal and Buffoon is in on it. That is my own conspiracy theory. Let's assume that I am incorrect, they should provide further proof! Maybe there's further details about their personal lives and they don't want to rock the boat further. Never be famous! Why would you invite a spotlight? | |||

Losers, Wages, Nuts, Tower |
|||
|
The Democrates lost another special election, four for four. I am basically only covering this because the guy was kind of cute. The race made national headlines after the his Republican opponent said that she "doesn't support a liveable wage". The Georgian district elected that person. The Democrates couldn't beat that person and had more money. Pathetic. He was a milktoast centrist, used the same arguments against the republican that the republicans in the primary did. Genius. Use the arguments used by people that already lost to her. That's the Clinton campaign reincarnated. Loser. Pathetic. Sad!
Inequality in the USA has gotten so bad that you can work full time and not afford a two bedroom apartment without government assistance. Aren't conservatives meant to be against government assistance? A living wage is actually good for the economy because it means that more money is flowing throw the system, and very importantly the wage increased more than makes up for the slightly higher priced goodsthere is no reason not to do it, and considering 40 years of neoliberalism has shifted the tax burden increasingly from the rich to the poor it's regular citizens that fund this absurd system. A person shot at some congressman a few weeks ago. Some people are blaming Bernie Sanders. Yes the politician that constantly advocates for peace and justice is responsible for some lone nut. No. If he used violent words and imagery perhaps you have a point. Every group has their crazies whether left-wing, right-wing or muslims. By the way muslim extremists are really just right wing extremists under a different religion. There is also more christian right-wing extremists attacks in the US than muslim fundamentalist attacks. For every nut on the left, you can probably find five on the right; they are the ones obsessed about the second amendment and claiming tyranny. You obviously shouldn't shoot at people to solve problems. Unfortunately a small percentage of any group will do that, maybe not give them weapons to begin with? A tower in London caught fire killing 79 people. Tragic but avoidable. The company brought flammable materials costing $5000 less. If this decision was not made those lives probably wouldn't have been lost. The Conservative government once congratulated themselves on lessening fire regulations. The lessons here are skyscrapers need adequate fire protections and they need to be enforced. You can't rely on corporations to have protections all by themselves. It's neoliberalism, it's free market and it's a fantasy. Protections must be enforced. | |||

Press confidence, Russia |
|||
|
A few days after Comey's testimony Orange Buffoon held a press conference, and it one of the most ridiculous things that I have ever seen. When Buffoon was answering questions he was moving his arms from side to side. I expect that is a sign he's lying. He said things like "No I did not do that, but even if I did there would be nothing wrong with that" O...K..., has anybody sounded more guilty in their life? From an analytical perspective he distance himself from Comey, "No I didn't ask for loyalty, I barely know Comey". Liars frequently distance themselves from the people involved. "I did not have sexual relations with that woman" they teach this stuff in talks and lectures. So, absurd press conference, Made Buffoon look worse.
The Russia investigation has extended to the Buffoon son-in-law and Buffoon itself. A special prosecutor has been assigned to the case. It's probably only a matter of time before another revelation is uncovered. Surely there's a reason why Buffoon's staff keep dropping off due to connections to Russia dating back to the campaign manager who changed the GOP'S platform to ease Crimea related sanctions. There's also reports that Buffoon wanted to do things that benefit Russia but wasn't able to do them. I guess this is like how Obama wanted to be more hawkish but ran into obstacles. People, including some progressives that say \'there's nothing there" are in denial. I have additionally come to the conclusion that the hookers pissing tape could be a real thing. Yes it's ridiculous but everything about this administration is ridiculous. Of course other things should be talked about; I am only covering the press conference because it was funny. The republicans have basically taken an axe to Dodd Frank. I have mixed thoughts, the legislation was basically piss weak so in essence they weakened already piss weak. Another crash was always coming, it will come slightly sooner. Buffoon's approval rating is already lower than the percentage of people that want him impeached. A crash could lower this considerably from the current 35-40% approval rating, which is already record breaking disapproval since data on this began. | |||

Corbyn, UK Internet, Buffoon |
|||
|
So the UK had its election. The left is bizarrely celebrating. Jeremy Corbyn lost. This is nothing to celebrate. I know he turned a 30 point deficit in the polls into less than 10 and took seats away from the Conservative Party and blah blah blah. He lost. He doesn't get a participation trophy from me. He deserves credit; it was the first time Labour received an increase since 1997. The Conservative Party now can't govern on its own and may do a deal with a fundamentalist religious party. There is nothing here to celebrate. Maybe he will be victorious next but I predict he will be removed as Labour leader and a neoliberal put in, hopefully I am wrong. Some of Clinton's people "helped" the Conservative campaign, you could say they helped it lose seats hahaha. Neither campaign did particularly well. This is a bad result for the left, but could end up winning us the long game if people dislike the new governing arrangement and Corbyn stays, I have doubts the latter will happen. Jeremy Corbyn lost, this is not time to be patting him on the back for giving a good try. Stop being ridiculous!
The current Conservative PM now wants to regulate the internet to help stop ISIS. I surprisingly will agree with this approach in theory, but in practice just assume that it will be implemented with the intention of taking people's rights and privacy away. I think ISIS should be shut down through very agressive means. Terrorists shouldn't be allowed to communicate via the internet, that's the most ridiculous thing ever! Shut the fuckers down. Sites and social media, gone. The status quo doesn't do this but instead collects everyone's data which does fuck all to solve the problem. I expect more status quo from the Conservatives instead of solutions that actually work. Buffoon Of Our Lives update. James Comey testified after being fired, called Orange Buffoon a liar, boring. You'd have to be braindead not to know that. Perhaps the interesting thing is the reason why Russia interfered. Apparently they hate democracy and view it as a threat to their rule. So they try to undermine it. On reflection countries hating democracy sounds awfully like the terrorist explanation. So I guess make up your own mind whether you believe that. Surely it's not just some random coincidence that a Buffoon daughter and Putin's girlfriend hang out, not to mention Buffoon's zillion business ties to the russian oligarchs. Putin interfered because he hates democracy? Sorry, I'm going full skeptic on this. If we're being generous there could be a number of reasons he interfered. Why not interfere with someone you have ties to? Two birds, one stone I guess. | |||

Manchester, Saudi Arabia |
|||
|
I am acknowledging the terror attack in Manchester but ultimately I really don't feel like I have too much to say on this. This randomly happens, they kill a lot of people in one place but ultimately your chances of dying at a concert is much lower than in a car crash. This will be my point. We must not let the terrorists win. They want to install fear upon us. We must continue to live. They must not be allowed to stop people having fun. Sometimes terrible things happen, 99.999% of the time they don't. We absolutely have to dismantle toxic ideologies, but should not stop our lives in the process. We need to continue going to concerts, marathons, nightclubs. We also need to be wary of any \'solutions" that governments impose. The terrorists love taking away freedoms, we shouldn't let the government do that for them. We should judge solutions on their merrits.
When talking about terrorism it is important to understand the root causes. I have said before the the US keeps giving arms and power to terrorists. Today is no different. The US signed a 110 BILLION DOLLAR deal with Saudi Arabia. This country is involved in the civil war in Yemon and has a similar ideology to ISIS. 15/19 of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis. Their government is a fundamentalist kingdom propped up by the west. It's a really bad idea to further weaponize them. There's Muslim theocracies that are more moderate, then there's Saudi Arabia that does everything to spread its toxic version of Islam around the world. Do you know how to win the war on terror? STOP ARMING THE TERRORISTS! | |||

Ransomware, Ailes, Buffoon |
|||
|
There was a ransomware tech story recently. I generally think that tech VIRUS AHHHHHH stories are overhyped, this was no exception. 300,000 computers were infected but there are probably hundreds of millions of computers in existence, this would seem a tiny fraction. However from my understanding the ransomware was targeted, some predict that another attack will come later. In my opinion the most interesting aspect of this story was the fact the NSA knew of the hole but told Microsoft not to close it. Genius! I hope the lesson learned is not to follow such instructions in future. If the government can violate your technology, so can other people!
Roger Alies died. Many people believe that it is not right to criticize the dead, if you followed this blog for a while you know I am not one of those people. He was a horrible person, but ultimately was an evil genius. Before Fox News he advised Nixon, Regan and Bush senior. His channel also was the first to push the incorrect notion that Bush junior won Florida which shaped the conversation. Other channels to some degree follow Fox News; he knew that. He also knew by serving his base red meat he could also feed them propaganda. He shaped conservatism for a generation or more. He catered largely to bigots and idiots and used them for his own purposes, played them like a violin to vote against their own interest. He was successful at avoiding criticisms from other mainstream media, possibly due to the blackmail files he kept on his competitors, also if you criticize outlets they generally won't hire you should you need a job later. I already covered his abuse; the only thing I will add is I'm constantly baffled on why the rich don't just find willing participants to have sex with them; buy them a car or house. I know that it is a power thing, but to me it seems unnecessary. Roger was a true inspiration, to psychopaths and creepers. In the latest episode of Buffoons Of Our Lives it turns out that Orange Buffoon asked Comey to drop the case against Mike Flynn who according to sources didn't even want to be National Security Adviser because of his ties to foreign governments. until Orange Buffoon insisted. Asking Comey to drop investigations is obstruction of justice. Now a Special Prosecutor has been assigned to the case. It's not looking good for Orange Buffoon. Before celebrating President Pence would be more competent at getting horrible shit done and would they let Russia off the hook? Things could get very ugly. It may be a case of better the devil you know. | |||
|
|||
Comey, Royals |
|||
|
James Comey was fired. People are speculating it was because of the Russia investigation but some say that Orange Baffon just wanted a lacky. Comey has made a name for himself by standing up to administrations. This has made him enemies on the left and the right. Buffon thought that the Democrates would be pleased pleased with the firing of Comey but as the saying goes; the enemy of my enemy is my friend. He was also well liked in one place: the FBI! Fire their leader and many will turn on the person who fired him.
In irrelevant monarchy news Philip is retiring from royal duties (smiling and waving must take its toll) and Diana's ex is in the hospital. The first broke my Facebook feed. I wasn't sure why friends were posting about a fucking meeting at a palace. Old guy retires. Boring! Abolishing the monarchy would be worth it to get less news about irrelevant crap. They are even reporting on people not even related by blood to the family. Fuck the media for covering this garbage. FUCK THEM WITH A GIANT AXE | |||

Health-care, Obama, France |
|||
|
Republicans passed a replacement to the Affordable Care Act. In short it gives away 600 billion in tax cuts to the rich, includes an option for the states to do away with pre existing conditions, funds high risk pools by 8 billion but 200 billion, raises the uninsured rate from 10% to 19%. Fuck the Republicans. Democrates are singing this will be the end for them in the 2018 midterms. Well fuck the democrates too. Nobody should sing when people lose health-care. The Affordable Care Act is a largely shitty piece of legislation; it isn't a single payer system like every other developed country on earth and health-care costs are much higher. If the Democrates had the guts to fix these problems when they had a filibuster proof majority they would probably be popular enough that Orange Buffoon would never have become president. Instead they had to appease the Big Tent Fuckwit Brigade AKA the "moderate democrates" This means any reforms has to be piss weak. The lesson here is NEVER let your ideological opposition into your own party! They take over and even when you're in power you're practically useless!
Obama did a speech on Wall Street for 400 million dollars. For people who don't think it's a big deal ask yourself if he would still be doing it if he prosecuted the bankers for fraud or significantly tightened regulations by bringing back Glass Steagell? If you think yes, it's possible you're a stupid person. He was soft on the banks and now he's getting paid, much like the Clintons who took away Glass Steagell. When the next crash comes it is important not to just blame Orange Buffoon, some of the blame will be on the New Democrates. France is about to get more right wing, the question is how much. Similarly to the US the possibilities are now between a neoliberal character and a fascist one. There was more candidates for the dominate party but they got eliminated, sounds like a reality TV show. Many people believe that the Orange Buffoon type character won't win, but then again "many many" people thought that about the man itself. France has been previously more socialist so it's possible the "fuck it" voter won't have so much of an effect. Let's hope they don't go all the way to the insane right. UPDaTE: the insane right was not chosen. | |||

Tax Plan, Bill O'Reilly |
|||
|
Buffoon released his tax plan, it's a huge give away to the rich. Duh! Gets rid of the estate tax, as an old rich guy his family would benefit tremendously. Reduces tax on investments such as stocks. So far this affects the middle class fuck all. Also gets rid of the Alternative Minimum Tax which forces people like Orange Buffoon to pay 25% tax instead of 5% with various accounting tricks. They basically doubled the itemized deduction threshold but from my understanding this affects very limited poor people. It additionally allows for pass through corporations so that (again rich) people can be taxed at a lower rate for corporations instead of 39%. This is nothing but a windfall for the rich. It will fuck the budget so they're forced to cut programs, mainly for low to medium income earners which by the way would off set some of the few benefits those people get. Giving more money to already rich people does nothing to stimulate the economy, that is just a convenient myth and puts the con in conservative! The only way an economy can grow is by ensuring that people who are more likely to spend money can actually do that. The people who proportionately spend more of their income are the poor and the middle class. Austerity and trickle down economics ensures the reverse of this and are miserable failures as economic policy.
Bill O'Reilly has gone from Fox News following a string of sexual assault allegations. This is the same thing that got Roger Alies, although with Bill O'Reilly it was also because the advertisers were fleeing from his show. Despite the behaviour (and I say that because some cases were settled) his ratings didn't suffer but turns out all the ratings in the world mean nothing if you can't be monetized. Bill O'Reilly, you won't be missed for long, mainly because the bigoted 72 year olds that watch you will not be among the living for much longer. | |||

War Hawk Media, North Korea |
|||
|
Orange Buffoon launched the biggest bomb possible without going nuclear. Firstly for people who claim focusing on American politics is pointless, well it actually affects other parts of the world too, so please, shut the fuck up. Now this is stupidity from all around here. As stated last time what really grows terrorism is killing random civilians. Logically using bigger bombs would kill more civilians, fuck more people off because you kill their family members which many had nothing to do with terrorism, so those left behind turn to terrorism, and on and on it goes. Of course Orange Buffoon is stupid, that's not really an riveting point. What is more interesting is the media and the relationship to a media obsessed President. Media largely praised Orange Buffoon for the strike last week. I would say Buffoon is watching closely so if they praised him he would be more likely to authorised more military action, and now we get to this week. This is a cycle that should be discussed. Of course it is just a theory, but the media should be cautious about praising a vein buffoon at times when he launch strikes.
Also North Korea and America are threatening each other. Both have narcissistic maniacs as leaders. I don't think North Korea will do anything, but who knows? A bomb by North Korea would trigger a war for sure, and they'll surely lose considering starved people are unable to fight and may not be willing. Kim Jong-un might be a maniac but I don't think he's also brain dead stupid as well like Orange Buffoon. Maybe I am wrong. It is convenient for the Buffoon Administration to keep hyping up threats so the media talks about that instead of his "many many" flaws. Let's hope this does not end badly. | |||

Syria, Neil Gorsuch |
|||
|
Buffoon launched missiles on a Syrian air base after a chemical weapons attack . This may not be as bad as I thought. Turns out the Russians were warned about the attack prior and they warned the Syrians. The result was limited damaged. I only say this is good because if Russia gets fucked off somehow because they're closely allied with Syria it could lead to World War 3. Best case this is theater to show how tough Buffoon is. You could claim Buffoon warned Russia out of curiosity and if this is the case at least Syria knows there will be consequences for chemical weapons attacks. Of course I prefer they didn't bomb and do sanctions but if this doesn't go further, avoiding crisis with Russia is a good thing. I am definitely not a fan of the Russian government, I can't stand them and have repeatedly blasted the bastards. However the world doesn't need a war with them. We don't need Iraq 2.0 with Syria. ISIS is stronger because of the Iraq invasion, hell they didn't even exist until much after the Invasion. Side note the group that became Al Qaeda was given arms and money to fight the "godless communists" in Russia. This wasn't done on purpose, but they don't know what the fuck they're doing! They are known to arm groups that later turn against them. Today great ally Saudi Arabia is arming Al Qaeda. The US has been known to arm groups that FIGHT EACH OTHER! The West should leave the Middle East the fuck alone. By the way drones kill 90% innocent civilians and Buffoon has increased them by 400%. If America wants to send missiles to those who kill innocent civilians; it should start with the Pentagon!
Neil Gorsuch has been confirmed as the new Supreme Court Justice which basically replaces one right wing zealot with another. The real story here is Democrates are useless fuckwits. The Republicans had no problem taking away the filibuster, why didn't the Democrates? Because they're useless fuckwits. In their mild defense the Republicans didn't hold hearings. This should have been Obama's seat to fill; instead they got a social conservative fundamentalist. Nice one! | |||

Health-care, Buffoon Relatives, Internet Privacy, YouTube |
|||
|
If Corporate Clinton won I predicted that the Republicans would stonewall and she wouldn't get anything done; this happened under Obama, and surprisingly is still happening under Trump. The Health-care act is now gone for now There are fractions of the Republican Party; namely the Koch Brothers Tea Party republicans who don't want compromise at all, and the more mainstream republicans that understand taking away health-care will be unpopular. There is a possibility this will happen on many major issues. I am not convinced that this will happen on taxes, but who knows.
Buffoon has officially given his daughter a job at the Oval Office, except she's not being paid as a way to go around rules and doesn't have to follow ethics rules. She says that she will voluntarily follow them, believe that at your own risk. Republicans would go ape shit if Chelsea Clinton did the same in the Clinton Administration. The son-in-law also has a paying job at the White House. On the bright side I believe that the two are less social conservative than standard republicans. The republicans fucked over internet privacy by allowing ISPs to sell Americans' browsing history. Theoretically any company could purchase anyone's web browsing data. Of course the standard fear is porn sites, but hang on what if you frequent affair sites too? Now a corporation can know that. What if a person that knows you personally can get that information. It's not only the NSA that you should be worried about, but random corporations. This was always the case, but this makes it even more so. Some insecure websites also would put sensitive information like social security numbers in URLs and countless other things. This isn't acceptable. People have a right to privacy from the government and corporations. If people's browsing histories can be purchased I would like to see Buffoon's history and anti gay republicans. If the US government doesn't believe in privacy anymore let's see how much gay porn anti gay republicans are watching. YouTube is further cracking down on controversial creators. In the latest attempt it is widened the net on what cannot be monetized and it is developing AI to detect swearing in videos. Last year they added terrorism as a banned subject. Apparently they will soon add religion which penalizes pro religion channels as well as channels who criticize religion. Of course ads are not the be all end all of revenue; there's donations; patron, and merchandise. However YouTube has been fucking the creators for years and there's probably a tipping point. Other platfors can emerge and probably will. MySpace was once very popular, also Yahoo! Now fuck all people go to those sites, particularly MySpace. YouTube should tread carefully. | |||

Quick BS, Wiretapping, Health-care,CIA |
|||
|
I am creating a segment specifically for the Buffoon Administration. Quick BS. Issues that people are talking about but I don't find particularly relevant.
Quick BS. Buffoon says Obama wire tapped him. Bottom line he's the President, he can release such information. However there is no evidence because he got the information from right wing conspiracy websites. If I was him I would just manufacturer the evidence to prevent me from looking stupid. A warrant was issued to wiretap Buffoon Tower but was rejected. No evidence of actual wiretapping, bullshit claims from President Buffoon! The Republican health-care plan has been released; basically it's the Affordable Care Act without the individual mandate, without the extra taxes on the rich plus some deregulation. On the positive side those with pre existing conditions are not denied coverage and under 26s can stay on their parents plan. Medicaid expansion also ends in 2020. The plan may not get passed because Right Wing Nut Jobs want to dismantle it more. The plan also has age based premiums, good for young people, not so good if you're old. If you lapse you pay a penalty to the insurance company instead of the government. Paul Ryan did a Powerpoint presentation complaining that healthy people pay for sick people. Yeah that's how insurance works, idiot! When you buy car insurance you don't assume you'll crash, but if you do you're covered. Healthy people would pay for years but if they get cancer in two decades they don't have to pay hundreds of thousands of dollars. Paul Ryan is considered an intellect but in reality is a well presented moron. Wikileaks has revealed that the CIA can use Smart TVs as listening devices and can hack into cars. I am not terribly surprised by this, I have voiced concern about the car issue before. As the world moves towards automated cars this should get attention. As much as we should advocate for privacy random corporations have all sorts of information on you. There is little you can do about it. At the same time, do you really need a Smart TV if privacy is important to you? There is a difference between letting things go, and actively giving them more information than necessary. I'm on the letting things go, but I don't want to expose myself to additional spying if I don't really need to. I am actually going to build myself a home automation system. Suddenly Infrared sounds like a good idea. Also if the CIA can hack and crash cars, so can other people. Manufacturers should be very careful about how they program cars. Sadly I don't think that a serious conversation is happening. | |||

Sessions, Speech, Bush, Icahn |
|||
|
Jeff Sessions is the latest controversy in the Buffoon Administration. Just like Michael Flynn he lied about conversations he had with Russians; he lied in hearings. They have an Attorney General that has committed p; he should immediately resign. Of course that won't happen; they won't ask him to resign because they already had Michael Flynn going. That would be too many cabinet members going in a short amount of time. People may think they're incompetent and corrupt if he resigned. Because nobody would think that the Buffoon Administration is incompetent and corrupt otherwise!
Buffoon gave a joint address to Congress, didn't open his zip and piss on the floor so the media gave him a pass, some pundits even suggested that he may get a second term if he carries on like that. Such pundits are delusional. Buffoon is a buffoon and will continue to be so. When he isn't shitting himself, it's an exception and will continue to be an exception. The entire administration is shitting itself every few days. Hell, I don't think that he had a net favorable rating since launching his campaign. It's utterly delusional to suggest that if he starts speaking better things will go in his favour. Buffoon is going to be a buffoon. This is a desperate attempt for the media to be neutral, and it's pathetic! Objective journalism is different than neutral journalism. You could neutrally cover the flat earth theory by saying some think the earth is flat and some think it's round. Neutrally is bullshit. You can't be an effective watchdog if you insist on covering everything neutrally. In the same speech he said that he was going to record crimes by immigrants in a public database; something Hitler did to the Jews. Fuck your neutrality obsession. George W Bush can fuck off too. Although I agree with him that the media should be tough on Trump. The media were largely lapdogs to the Bush Administration while they started two wars. The media did such a horrible job at informing the public that many Americans thought Saddam Hussein personally organized 9/11. If only the media was more cynical to George W Bush. He is a war criminal and those who want to glorify him can fuck off. Carl Icahn is basically a consultant on deregulation issues which means that he doesn't need to divest since he is not officially at the Whitehouse. He also owns a majority stake in an oil refinery. Guess where this is going. It was announced that a new Executive Order will move the requirement of oil being 15% Ethanol from the refiner to the wholesaler, saving Icahn's company 200 million dollars. A government contractor is using his public policy influence to enrich himself. I expect this will be the first of many. Perhaps I'll call the administration Swamp Administration, or use this occasionally. | |||

National Security Adviser, Labor Secretary, EPA Head, Literary |
|||
|
The Baffoon Administration is already falling apart. The National Security Adviser is gone after he was involved in conversations with Russia before he was confirmed. Before anyone celebrates, I think that he is going to be replaced by a more extreme person. Michael Flynn is now the shortest serving National Security Adviser in history. This also has fuelled the Russia talk surrounding the Buffoon Administration. My take is extremists on either side are idiots. If you say that there's nothing there you are just denying reality at this point. If you're obsessed with it at the expense of everything else including many possible impeachable offenses, you're in lala land.
One good thing was the Secretary of Labor pick wasn't confirmed; the former Carl's Jr boss that was in favour of automation and had questionable labor practices. It's hard to imagine a worst pick, but I'm sure that I will be surprised. He didn't have hearings because it got out that he hired an undocumented immigrant and beat his wife. It could be the undocumented immigrant; they practically have Orange Bill Cosby as president, though Buffoon's ex didn't go on Oprah to talk about it. The new Environmental Protection Agency head got confirmed, he previously sued the Environmental Protection Agency. So expect that department to go to shit. This polices things like air pollution and lead levels. Lead levels are already a massive problem. 2,000 areas have lead levels higher than Flint. So things are bad but they're about to get worse. More evidence that the Buffoon is barely literate; it was exposed that he likes reports one page with pictures. *facepalm* The only way it would be worse is they were giving him things to colour in! Though he probably doesn't have the attention span for that. You cannot get all the information that you need to be president in one page, this includes national security information. There is some chance America will be in danger due to his incompetence. If he got a phone call at 3AM he probably will be too busy tweeting to answer it. | |||

Bannon, Literacy, Conway, Terrorism, Muslim ban |
|||
|
Steve Bannon is now on the US National Security Council. Who is Steve Bannon? A white supremist that ran alt right conspiracy website Britbert. You might remember him as Trump's campaign manager and top adviser. Apparently he is on the National Security Council now. Apparently Trump didn't know what he was signing when he signed the Executive Order/Action! So apparently the President of the US doesn't even read the Executive Orders/Actions he is signing and he has signed about 14 of them at this point. Either the President is too lazy to read, or is barely literate and doesn't know how to read complex material.
David Pakman now is convinced President Buffoon is barely literate and I can't say that I've seen any evidence proving him wrong. Apparently as a barely literate person you can run multi million dollar businesses. Obviously not very well as many went bankrupt. I think that he did it all through delegation. It's also possible that some people would scam a thick rich person; might explain some of his failures, but this is my own speculation. I would be very interested to know if he suffered any major trauma when he was 8 or 9. I know early trauma triggers Narcissistic Personality Disorder in people and the brain freezes, some people with the condition still remain highly intelligent, obviously he isn't one of them. To add to her alternative facts Kellyanne Conway just made up a massacre. To justify the muslim Conway said there was a massacre in Atlanta. Here's the thing; it didn't actually happen. What she was referring to was there being two Iraqis that had fingerprints that were on some bombs back in Iraq. There was no evidence that they were planning something in America. They certainly didn't kill anybody in America. So week three and already the Orange Buffoon administration is making up massacres! What is week four? Claiming a country nuked Texas! Week 5 an alien invasion? Orange Buffoon is claiming that the media is ignoring terrorist attacks. Of course the reality is the opposite. When Muslim terrorist attack happens it's covered for days. When a white Christian terrorist attack happens which by the way is more frequent the media is much less likely to call it terrorism. Instead they're crazy or lone wolves. Even if you disagree on that point it's crazy to suggest that the media doesn't cover terrorist attacks by Muslims. The Muslim ban is now suspended, several judges have blocked it and this includes at the ninth circuit court. I was never convinced that it would pass the constitutional test. Then again I also was not convinced it would be attempted; I was wrong about that. In my defense President Buffoon is a pathological liar and constantly changes his mind including about the Muslim ban at one point. I hope that the ban on the muslim ban sticks. | |||

Two signature Orange Buffon policies are stupid |
|||
|
Both the wall and ban on certain Muslim countries are stupid ideas. Net immigration from Mexico to the United States is close to zero or in the negatives by some estimates. Undocumented immigrates also generally help the economy by taking out more than they put in due to sales taxes. The wall wouldn't work anyway due to tunnels and many migrants just stay after flying. All the tariff on imports from Mexico will do is raising the cost for goods from Mexico that are brought in America. Mexico won't pay for the wall; Americans will.
The Muslim ban is even more senseless because none of the people from the countries on the list committed a terrorist attack on US soil. 15/19 hijackers from the 9/11 attacks were from Saudi Arabia, this country isn't on the list. I am sure that it is just a coin that the Orange Buffon registered 7 companies during the election campaign. President Buffon also has business with Qatar which isn't on the list; you should get a theme here. This ban is bullshit and is just designed to drum up hate. Several federal judges have ruled it unconstitutional but the Buffon Administration refuses to comply, this from the President who said that he was the law and order candidate. If your intention is to encourage fewer fundamentalists in the Muslim community the last thing you should do is isolate them, which will only encourage more hostility. Isolation didn't work for Cuba. Letting fundamentalists see an alternative culture has to be the way forward. Of course you should stop arming them and toppling their governments too. These are stupid policies from a stupid president. There are rumors that some of the GOP Congress are questioning his mental state. If just some feel like he's taking their away and ignoring institutions we could be looking at impeachments perhaps even sooner than I expected. | |||

Orange Baffoon, Justice Democrats |
|||
|
I have made a decision, from now on I will refer to the President as Orange Baffon. The reason being he loves his name being mentioned. I predict that he will have the most mentions on the web. I will not add to that.
Orange Baffon issued a number of Executive Orders. Obama only issued about 40 in total, a low among recent presidents. President Baffon has done things like approved pipelines, he has a personal financial interest in at least one of them. He has also banned refugees from many muslim countries and also to build a wall. He has also cancelled the TPPA, he deserves temporary credit; I still say that he will do another trade deal of a similar nature. He's also going to redo NAFTA. What that means, I don't know. If you're being generous, you could say he'll improve trade laws but does tremendous damage elsewhere. I don't believe that he'll significantly improve trade laws, but also have no evidence at this time. So on this, he deserves credit temporarily at least. He also has ordered scientific bodies not to report science to the public and a freeze on EPA resources. So the environment will go to hell in the next few years. Two talk shows I listen to; The Young Turks and Secular Talk are fed up with the Corporate Democrats and have formed a group to take back the party for the people. Their site is JusticeDemocrats.com. My feeling is if anybody can do it, these people can. Secular Talk nearly raised 100K for a studio, The Young Turks just raised 1.5 million for new reporters. They're new media powerhouses and frequently break new ground. T.Y.T has already formed Wolf PAC and successfully got resolutions passed to get money out of politics via a constitutional convention, they need 30 states to pass it, they have 6. Now they're targeting the candidates themselves. See what happens, maybe they will be successful. I have two criticisms. "People Democrats" sounds better. Some stupid people would dismiss Justice as Social Justice Warriors, this is bad for marketing, this will lead to hostility and dismissive behaviour. Personally I couldn't care less about labeling people SJWs. I'd sooner assess the issues I perceive to be fringe on a case by case basis and argue against them if necessary. Second criticism, this should have been done years ago. However I love the fact people that I admire are doing this! | |||

Rick Perry, Betsy DeVoss, Projection, Inauguration |
|||
|
Rick Perry, once described as a dumb George W Bush, let that sink in. He now has had hearings to lead the Department Of Energy, a department he once famously said he wanted to eliminate, and couldn't remember the name, and apparently even didn't know what the department did. Turns out one of the department functions is maintaining the nuclear aerosol. Opps! Perry is a friend to big oil so forget about climate change progress. Our best hope is if China continues to take the lead. If I had Trump's ear, I'd just bait him to be competitive with China over this.
Betsy DeVoss does not believe in public education, so naturally has been appointed to Education Secretary. Her main qualifier is donating millions of dollars to the republican party. Her organization worked to promote charter schools and religious schools. Yesterday I discovered Corey Booker is supportive of the organization and gave a speech there. Thanks for that video Jimmy Dore. In her hearings she wouldn't say that public and charter schools should have equal accountability, didn't know the difference between growth vs proficiency and suggested that schools don't need to be gun free because of possible bear attacks which as far as I can tell don't actually happen. Now, the so called left Obama administration has continued the trend of charter schools despite 40% performing worse than public schools. DeVoss is going to make the problem worse with less accountability for the corporations that run the school. Obama did do a positive change to make testing less rigid, probably going to rolled back. Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte has been accused of abusing fentanyl. This was not surprising to me at all. Humanity has a long history of taking whatever they think is bad about themselves and projecting it on to others. Many anti gay republicans get caught in gay affairs, in bathrooms or taking male companions on trips as "bag carriers". Recently it was revealed a founder of a Neo Nazi website married a Jew. In the majority of these cases the issue is self hatred rather than just hatred. People need to cut out hatred; both of themselves and others. Trump's inauguration happened. Crowds were about half that of Obama's. The media is reporting Trump is insistent they are lying about the inauguration crowd numbers. Of course; he's not going to be less crazy now that he's President. The President is utterly disconnected from reality; buckle up. | |||

Appointees, Corey Booker, Pissgate, People Power |
|||
|
Hearings began on the Trump cabinet appointees. Jeff Sessions the Attorney General pretended he was not racist or homophobic. The Exxon Mobile CEO Secretary of State pretended to care about climate change. Ben Carson was unable to rule out conflict of interest for Trump. Corey Booker pretended to give a fuck about anything other than his presidential ambitions in 2020. That is the gist of things.
Corey Booker also voted down an bill that would allow medications to be imported from Canada, effectively lowering the price. Progressives already see him as Hillary Clinton 2.0. If he was smart he would side with progressives in most cases instead he'll be view as a tool of corporations. He's fucking his chances. I would cover pissgate, but I don't have time to cover bullshit. The republicans wanted to gut the House Ethics Committee but the population pushed back hard with phone calls and their plans were stopped. The lesson here is people power does work on occasion provided it is effective. Although the move wouldn't have affected corporations so I guess it has limited power. You should absolutely use people power when you can get results. Also it is critical to use it on so-called left-wing governments like Obama and Bill Clinton. The people shouldn't go to sleep just because their men (or women) are in power. You should argueably fight harder when you encounter more receptive people. | |||

Schumer, Pelosi, War Room |
|||
|
Chuck Schumer is an idiot; he leads the Democrates in the Senate and has said that the Republicans will pay a price for not voting on a Supreme Court justice "In time". "In time"? What the fuck? You just had an election. The time to make them pay was then. Instead you sat on your ass while Hillary Clinton painted Republicans as not as extreme as Donald Trump. Chuck is just as moronic and stupid as Hillary Clinton. He said that for every blue collar worker they shun; they'll pick up two Republican votes. How the fuck did that work out? Not well.
Nancy Pelosi is also an idiot because she said in an interview that the Republicans won't try to Repeal the Affordable Care Act. Apparently the Republicans trying to do just that 45 million times since its inception is no indication of anything. Republicans seem totally cool with the Affordable Care Act. What fucking fantasy world do the Democrates live in? Legislation has since been introduced, to repeal the Affordable Care Act, with the added bonus of defunding Planned Parenthood, because fuck women! Luckily this bonus is too extreme for some Republicans and it is unlikely to be accepted. Donald Trump has claimed he will keep the A.C.A. My prediction is they will probably try to gut the legislation, at minimum. Meanwhile the Democrates have built a "War Room" for fighting Donald Trump filled with former Hillary campaign staffers, because they just did a bang up job during the election they just lost! | |||

Israel, Russia, Lunatic |
|||
|
12 countries called out Israel for building settlements, the US didn't veto. I am pleased but it's too little to late from the Obama Administration. The government of Israel has proceeded to cut ties with many of the countries. OK, they are really only hurting themselves by doing that. The non veto and the resolution for that matter is largely symbolic; it doesn't do anyway and in 2 minutes Trump will take over. He and the Republicans will continue to kiss the ass of Israel's government. Some members of Trump's upcoming cabinet favor a one state solution; absurd position because the rest of the UN and the more progressive fractions of Israel will never agree to this. Even the right wing government of Israel is not outwardly for this position. Fantasy land in Trump's administration.
Obama has place new sanctions on Russia for alleged interference in the election. The CIA still has not released evidence. Whatever Obama. Trump will just come in and reverse it. Perhaps if Obama had not pushed the TPPA Hillary would of had a better shot. Also if the deal is really dead (I'm still skeptical) pushing the deal accomplished you nothing, and probably would have hurt Democrates in the long run. Congratulations on being stupid and fucking your own base. You can just go join Bill Clinton on being a poor excuse of a Democrate. Luckily for him he's still massively popular. By the way if the Republicans let him do a "Grand Bargain" that would have cut Social Security he probably wouldn't be as popular at this time. The next President will go in the opposite direction. In random lunatic news Rodrigo Duterte who is President of the Philippines threatened to throw corrupt officials off a helicopter as he "has done before". He may be the only person in the world that makes Trump look sane and reasonable. This guy is an absolute lunatic and I hope that he is voted out promptly. | |||
|
|||
John Bolton, Russia, Clinton |
|||
|
John Bolton is a deplorable human being; strong supporter of the Iraq war, never met a war that he didn't like. For a long time it appeared that he would get the number two job at the State Department. New reports alleged that this is not happening because Trump doesn't like his Moustache. I feel like I am writing satire, but apparently this is a real thing that happened. Chris Christie's weight was also a factor is his VP pick; Christie didn't get the job. This information is from anonymous sources within the Trump team, but an open source John Miller said that presentation was very important.
The Russia ambassador to Turkey has been assassinated and from what I can gather it's because of Russia's support of the Syrian government. I strongly dislike the Russian leadership but would never wish something like this to happen. I was beginning to think that there may be some advantages to Trump and Putin being pows, then Putin announced that Russia will be expanding their nukes. Donald Trump announced the same. So we may have a nuclear arms race. This is a disaster. However in the short term it may be peaceful, that could be a good thing even though I predict Russia will take more territory. Continuing to beat the Hillary Clinton dead horse. There was a story out saying that Clinton refused help from the Sanders camp and the words "Fucking Ignored" came up. Now OK if your position is Sanders lost the primary why would Clinton want help from losers? OK. Fair point but the fact is that Sanders won most of the open primaries, where independent voters could vote. This includes some states where Hillary Clinton lost in the general election. The Sanders camp were offering Clinton their strategies for the election. The theme of the Hillary Clinton campaign is arrogance. They just assumed all along that she will win. Didn't really work out, did it? | |||
|
|||
Hackings, Picks, Fake News |
|||
|
There are claims that Russia did hacking to influence the election. First allegation is the Clinton campaign chair Emais the second is the vote itself. Sources from the CIA is alleging Russia hacked the emails, if so they should release the evidence instead of allowing all sorts of conspiracies about whether the CIA is lying to take place. I don't see a reason why they would lie. I don't see the government going after Russia considering Trump and Putin are best friends. Unless it's a super long game by the Democrates for after Trump; I think that is far fetched. However many people are skeptical about these allegations, if the CIA has creditable proof they should release it otherwise people will remain skeptical. It is an open question on whether they hacked the vote itself; there was a story out today about the voting machine security checking agency being hacked into; this could have exposed security secrets. I know they at least attempted to hack voting machines in at least two states months before the election. At minimum they should do a full audit.
Sarah Palin and Mitt Romney are apparently not getting positions. Exxon Mobile CEO is in the running for Secretary of State. I actually like this apportionment; there's no better way of signaling that you're a tool for a corporations than appointing an oil CEO as Secretary of State. It is a giant fuck you to people that voted for Trump to drain the swamp. A percentage of them will not vote for him next time. Hillary Clinton made a speech about how damaging fake news is. (ironic considering she voted for the war in Iraq based on fake news) She thinks the government should crack down on it. Yet it's Democrates that are always gleeful about doing interviews with Fox News. If you really want to address fake news the first step would be to stop treating Fox News as a legitimate news organization; beyond batshit crazy conspiracies like PizzaGate that conspiracy outlets push there was a shooting at Planned Parenthood because of fake news by Fox News which incorrectly claimed Planned Parenthood was selling aborted fetuses. If their solution is to have the government decide what is news that is nonsense; does Hillary Clinton really want the Donald Trump to have such powers? However i don't have a problem with liable laws if the published claim can be proved untrue. I would argue that it is perfectly acceptable for the government to very heavily fine a news organization for someone commiting a violent or terroristic act based on false information that they got from the organization. However be very careful how you verify the information is false. A government body alone is not enough. | |||

Heads, Iran, Carrier, Apprentice |
|||
|
Ben Carson is up for the department of Housing and Urban Department. People find this bizarre considering he's a brain surgeon and has no experience in housing planning. Some believe he only got it because Trump thinks the word urban relates to black people. "Urban? Where's African-American? Tremendous!" Carson previously labelled the department a communist department; now he may lead it. I am thinking wouldn't Surgeon General as a position made more sense. Similarly Rick Perry is considered for the Department Of Energy; a department he said that he wanted to eliminate during his famous "Opps" line. The new proposed head of the "Department of Environmental" known by everyone other than Trump as the Environmental Protection Agency actually sued the E.P.A. numerous times, he also donated to the Trump campaign what a wild coincidence bahahaha. This is right wing 101: They assign people to departments that hate government; when the department turns to shit they turn around and say government does not work. This is how the game is played.
If you are afraid Donald Trump will tear up the Iran deal, it seems the Republicans have done it for him. House Republicans have voted to put sanctions on Iran; a violation of the deal. Why? I will just parrot Kyle from Secular Talk "HEAD ASS, HEAD! RIGHT UP THE ASS! HEAD ASS ASSY ASS ASS" I interpret this as the Republicans (or defence contractors) war with Iran. However there is one other explanation; they just hate Obama and want to destroy everything he has accomplished. Either way, I predict there will be a fresh push to go to war with Iran. Trump did a deal with Carrier to keep jobs in America. A win for him on face value but under the surface he was only able to save 33% of the jobs they said they were sending to Mexico, and apparently some of them they never intended to ship out. He only did this through Corporate Welfare and promising to gut regulations. Additionally they're spending the Corporate Welfare on automation which means some of the jobs remaining will be lost anyway. A quick win for Trump but in reality the deal is a lemon. Trump has reportedly signed on to be an Executive Producer of the Celebrity Apprentice. What the fuck? He has one job! Literally! He's the President of the United States! It is not appropriate to moonlight on a reality TV show Donald Trump! I wonder if he will be credited as President Trump. Not even Hillary Clinton would be arrogant enough to get money directly from a corporation; it would go through the Clinton Foundation. Could the corporation paying Trump get special favors? They're probably banking on it. Fuck you Hillary Clinton for losing to this baffoon! Does Trump really need the 50K per episode considering he's the president? The Clintons made tens of millions afterwards. I know he's old, but really? So called billionaire takes money for a reality TV show while President. You can't make this shit up! In other news he is supposed to get an intelligence briefing everyday but only wants them once per week. This guy is a total clown and probably will get impeached. | |||
|
|||
Administration of deplorables |
|||
|
The administration of deplorables continues; Sarah Palin is apparently going to lead the VA, though maybe she quits half way through like she did Governor. Mitt Romney is a possible Secretary of State; the same Mitt Romney that dedicated a speech to saying what a failure Donald Trump was. Trump's former campaign manager is not happy and has bashed Romney in the media since the announcement. The probable education secretary is a big fan of giving vouchers for private schools. This takes funds out of the public system. You may think that this is fine and good until they start reducing or eliminating vouchers. I've saved the worst to last; the probable Treasury Secretary foreclosed on homes that was occupied by old people. In one case the payment was off by 27 cents; I'm not making this up! He has worked for numerous banks; even started one. He also fund raised for Donald Trump so this appears to be a reward. Trump has drained the swamp, of water and found some sharks and snakes to put into his administration.
If you thought that since Trump won the election he wouldn't be tweeting offensive crap you are wrong. His explanation on why he lost the popular vote is that a few million illegal immigrants voted for Hillary. It turns out there is no creditable evidence to this and it is a conspiracy theory brought to you by InfoWars and Alex Jones! What is he going to Tweet about next? Chemtrials? 9/11 was an inside job? Lizard people? InfoWars and Fox News shouldn't be considered legitimate news sources for the president. After a Fox News story; Trump also tweeted that flag burning should be illegal punished by lost of citizenship or jail. The courts have established for a long time that you can't take away citizenship as a form of punishment and flag burning is a form of constitutionally protected free speech. Hillary Clinton once proposed fines for flag burning. Both of them are wrong. I don't like flag burning as a form of protest but recognize they have a right to do it. I would rather figure out why they are doing it rather than getting hung up over the symbolism; they are just burning material when it comes down to it. | |||

Jill Stien, Trump |
|||
|
Since the election Jil Stien has been busy. First she filed lawsuits alleging both Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton broke campaign finance rules. Second she has raised money for some recounts in several key states. It probably won't change the electoral results but it appears more than the Clinton camp is doing. Other people have been trying to get the Electoral College representatives to go with the popular vote instead of the Electoral College result. Turns out the Electoral College results are not binding and can be changed willy nilly, who knew? If I was Clinton I would be lobbying hard for this as Clinton won the popular vote by over 2 million. If your position is Clinton lost the Electoral College and that's that, that is entirely fair and is probably the correct position. However if I was Clinton I would be like "Fuck it" and would certainly go for it.2 million votes is 2 million votes. Some people think that Al Gore didn't fight hard enough. Fighting doesn't seem like Democrate's strong point even when they're in office.
In flip flop number #31926 Donald Trump now thinks that climate change is real and that humans are causing it. This makes a change from his previous position of climate change being a hoax. The change is positive but I wonder if he will set a record for flip flops. In other news Trump registered about 7 companies in Saudi Arabia just before the election. Apparently this is all legal. So basically don't expect any action from him on things like human rights abuses and funding 9/11 hijackers. The Clintons also had financial ties to Saudi Arabia, so it matters little who is president and more where the money comes from. | |||

Upcoming administration is already a shitshow |
|||
|
The upcoming Trump Administration is already a shitshow, did you really expect any different? Trump met with Obama and didn't seem to understand what responsibilities the president has according to a video by David Pakman, he doesn't want to live in the white house. TheYoungTurks did a video outlining the different factions of the Trump Administration: corporatists, alt right nazi types, special interest donors and family. One of Trump's main advisers hates jews. The factions are fighting each other. If Trump had any sense he'd dump the neonazi types; but of course Trump is Trump so he made one his top adviser.
People say give him a chance. No! His chance was the campaign and he was massacring that every two weeks. OBAMA IS THE FOUNDER OF ISIS! FOUNDER FOUNDER FOUNDER! THAT WOMAN IS UGLY. Terrible campaign, didn't deserve to win. The only reason he won was he was running against Hillary Clinton. Ironically people thought Trump was a grand conspiracy to let Clinton win. If you wanted to give him a chance after his campaign. OK. His chance ends with appointing white supremacst, jew haters and people who want to throw Muslims in camps to his administration. Chance over! I predict this will be a deeply unpopular administration and will only last four years. There are silver linings; he is not going ahead with the more extreme policies such as building a wall, mass deporting of illegal immigrants, and even repealling the Affordable Care Act. However his administration still has deplorable people in it and this should not be looked at lightly. There are also indication of Trump going back on his promise not to cut social security but George W Bush couldn't do it when he tried; the population may be even more hostile towards Trump if he tries, it probably won't be done under Trump in my opinion. Donald Trump has settled his Trump University lawsuit for 15 million dollars. Basically a person with a history of being a fraudster is about to be president. He still has at least one sexual assault lawsuits to deal with. Crooked Hillary? Crooked both! | |||

Clinton lost, Trump won |

Donald Trump is the next president of the United States. Oh fuck. I could rant at voters and that could be coming, but first...
The reason this happened can be summed up in two words: Hillary Clinton! If you think otherwise you're living in a fucking fantasy world. She was a bad politician, people know her record, people hate her record, the name Clinton has been demonized for 30 years, people on the right hate her, people on the left dislike her; a dozen scandals, play for play allegations, email server, FBI investigation, unconvincing and politically arrogant. I am sure I have forgotten points. There were polls about a year ago and 55% or more found her unfavourable, she only did slightly better than Donald fucking Trump! For people that ignored this fact YOU WERE FUCKING WRONG AND PEOPLE HATED YOUR CANDIDATE! Oh hall the mighty Clinton Machine, that didn't win in 2008 and couldn't win in 2016. Now Chelsea Clinton is considering a senate run. For fuck sakes. The Clintons need to fuck off. I'm done with them, I'm done with their supporters. Clinton supporters are reality deniers and are just as misguided as republicans. Clinton did not offer any hope. Her entire campaign can be summed up as "I'm not Donald Trump" and "I'm with her". That's such a shitty slogan by the way, Why the fuck wasn't it #ShesWithYou. Apparently the idiots at her campaign couldn't think of that, I know "I'm with her" has history, but it was politician centered rather than voter centered. People vote for REPRESENTATIVES, you're supposed to REPRESENT them, or at the very least act like you do! Demonizing Donald Trump by itself didn't work, she needed to get people excited, give them something to vote for, she never did that convincingly! Millennials just didn't believe her; she needed to do better. You don't do this by pissing on Bernie Sanders supporters, I admit eventually this did sink in, but it was months too late. She got the endorsement of people like Henry Kissenger and other deplorables; namely neocons. If you are into compromise; fine, but understand there's a difference between compromise and blowing the other side kisses. Martin O'Malley didn't have an email server in his house, neither did Bernie Sanders, neither did Corey Booker, Joe Biden, Elizabeth Warren and countless others. Nobody made Hillary have an email server in her house. I don't give a fuck about Colin Powell; he did not have a FBI investigation just before an election. Brilliant idea for Obama to put a republican in charge of the FBI. Fan fucking tastic. Hillary did things that she did not have to do and were politically dumb, and not just in the previous campaign cycle. In all likelihood this cost her the election. 90% of other Democrates didn't have as many problems as Hillary Clinton and would have wiped the floor with Donald Trump. Sure Republicans would have made up stuff, but no name is as damaged on the Democrate side than Clinton. It wouldn't have had such of an effect. Clinton won because of racists they say. How the fuck did a black guy win twice then? You could make an argument for mobilization but Hillary was also rubbish at mobilization; particularly with young voters. You couldn't have had Bernie Sanders as the nominee because of anti Jewish hate. OK and people who hate jews would have voted for Trump that even without a jew in the race was already retweeting neo nazi propaganda. Jew S A was a chant at Trump rallies. I am pretty fucking sure Donald Trump had the antisemite vote on lock down already. People hate socialism they say. Possibly, but people voted for Obama because of change, people voted for Trump partly because of change. Hillary Clinton didn't offer change, Bernie Sanders would have. Donald Trump was against trade deals or so he says; Bill Clinton pushed through NAFTA. Donald Trump couldn't have said the same about Jane Sanders. Hillary Clinton already named Bill Clinton as a top economic adviser; Trump wouldn't have riled up the anti trade sentiment as effectively; Sanders also spoke against TPPA and NAFTA. Even though Hillary Clinton also was apparently anti TPPA; she just wasn't creditable. I am not in the camp of Bernie Sanders would have definitely won like almost all progressive pundits I listen to. I think that the media would have massively sided with Trump and it would be a massive gamble. However I do think that he would have a decent shot. Doesn't matter now. Hillary Clinton was chosen and that was a mistake; irrelevant if you wanted Bernie; I certainly did. Again 90% of other Democrates would have crushed a monster like Donald Trump. Just because you are fine with Hillary Clinton giving speeches to banks etc. doesn't mean everyone else is. A mistake in politics is assuming people feels the same way. I used to make that mistake; I learned that lesson after the 2011 election; I was even gullible enough to believe that the polls were massively wrong. The same people were still singing that conspiracy in 2014. This also that proves just because you are on the left does not mean you're not batshit crazy on some issues. Clinton supporters are the perfect example. Obama won because he was a good actor, Hillary Clinton was not. As Cenk Uygur said "people wanted to throw a brick through the establishment window" The left didn't come with a convincing brick, it came with Corporate Clinton. People voted for Obama not knowing that he was a corporatist. He was the CHANGE candidate but that change was really code for making "republicans and democrates to get along". He failed miserably at this, just like Hillary Clinton would have. Republicans launched about a billion investigations about her and impeached her husband over a blow job; they weren't going to get along with President Clinton and it's utterly delusional to think otherwise. Clinton didn't have to go out of her way to say she would work with Republicans. People just want a leader who will fight for them. Compromise is best left until after the election. Even her own strategy team and party insiders thought that being so buddy buddy with the republicans was a bad strategy and was going to hurt down ballot Democrates. Arrogant Clinton didn't listen, her strategy sucked. She is a terrible politician. If she said I have been defending the people against republicans for 30 years and know how to make them get things done; that would have been a better strategy. Gary Johnson took more from Trump than Jill Stien took from Hillary. Millennial turnout was also disastrous. People won't vote for a candidate if they aren't inspired to do so. You can blame Millennials all day long but the fact is Hillary Clinton didn't inspire people to vote for her; it's a fucking big part of her job. If nobody comes to your concert, would you blame the people or the singer. Of course you would blame the singer. I do think that it is very unfortunate that America won't have a woman president, they simply chose the wrong woman. I don't care that she won the popular vote, if she was a competent politician she would have gained enough support in swing states to win the electoral college, she didn't because she is a deeply unliked candidate. A portion of her voters only voted for Clinton to prevent Trump from taking the White House. Hillary Clinton lost, because Hillary Clinton was shit candidate; almost universally disliked and would have gotten slaughtered if she ran against a more likable republican. As stated in the beginning; you're living in your own fucking fantasy world if you think otherwise. Finally just because I'm done with Clinton supporters doesn't mean we can't be friends. I do genuinely believe that her supporters are fucking idiots when it comes to the topic of Hillary Clinton specifically; however many people are smart in some areas and stupid in others; that is just how humans operate. I can put aside our differences, but if you're going to be Clinton apologists; I will view you as batshit insane on the subject and frankly have no interest in your defenses or excuses. Hillary Clinton was a shit candidate; end of story. This is the longest I've ranted on any one subject; on to Donald Trump. George W Bush on steroids was just elected. What an absolute clusterfuck. Even Hillary Clinton would be better than this baffoon, are you fucking shitting me America? What the fuckidy fuck fuck. Just because I hate Hillary Clinton doesn't mean that Donald Trump was an acceptable choice. I also hate Donald Trump. He bankrupted 6 companies including several casinos. The guy is incompetent and probably has some kind of self destructive tendencies going on. Also the guy is unpopular; does loathsome things, and a good case can be made that this trait is intentional; I know a person that I suspect of having Narcissistic Personality Disorder and it's clear that he deliberately fucks people off to make people hate him, and no I'm not talking about myself. Self destructive tendencies combined with this is a toxic combination. Now he has an army and nuclear codes; good luck! I am not going to lecture you that he is racist; everyone else can do that; it is however concerning that his election will empower racists. If you really thought that President Trump wasn't going to screw you, then you are the most gullible people on the planet; he's a pathological liar. I don't believe him when he says he'll stop outsourcing, he personally benefits from outsourcing. The only way he'll stop the TPPA is if he brings it back under a different name. Very likely he will just pass the TPPA. However the New Zealand Publicity Clown which other people call the Prime Minister says it's dead in the water, so I could be wrong. Corporate America is lining up to work with President Trump as I predicted; I am only surprised this didn't happen much sooner. Donald Trump is the establishment with a clown mask. In conclusion: Fuck Corporate Clinton! Fuck Donald Trump! America was presented with two hideous choices but chose the more hideous one. (kind of, Corporate Clinton won the popular vote) I'll be watching with morbid curiosity. I regretted not being politically aware in the George W Bush years. You have over delivered. I await either impeachment or a massive disaster/collapse. This does not end any other way. | |||

Clinton losing ground, Third Parties |
|||
|
I called the election a few weeks ago but it turns out you can never count on Hillary Clinton to keep support. Since Comey's announcement the race has tightened significantly in swing states. A Trump has gone back to no being impossible. The upside to this is if Hillary wins by a smaller margin she can't shun progressives as much, so some people say. She will probably shun progressives either way. A close race against Donald Trump could make a primary of Hillary Clinton more likely. LBJ also stepped down. Neither case is terribly likely. Again, the United States will enter a right direction wing death spiral; especially if Hillary Clinton runs again.
I didn't find third party candidates terribly relevant to cover but I will do that now. Garry Johnson has been dubbed by the media as being stupid and crazy, which is a very accurate assesssment of libertarians. He is known for not knowing what Aleppo was, not being able to name a world leader is that he likes, perhaps the second is the most concerning. He occasionally does eccentric things, sometimes it's funny, other times it's weird. Libertarians are right on social issues, wrong on economic issues. That's basically the gist of things. Jill Stein I said I would vote for if I lived in America. This doesn't mean she is the perfect candidate. I think that her position on GMOs is downright anti-science. She panders to conspiracy theorists like anti vaxxers and 9/11 loons, but she does not believe in the conspiracy theories herself. Hillary Clinton however believes that Wall Street is best to tell her how to regulate it and pushed fracking around the world. Clinton supporters claiming that Jill Stein is crazy need to examine their own fucking candidate. At least I can admit my candidate is somewhat crazy and could happily vote for her knowing she will never get power. She is also closer to my beliefs than the other three batshit insane narsissists in the race. Hillary Clinton is so crazy she thinks that Republicans with her after they investigated her a billion times and impeached her husband over a blow job. I like her college proposal, before reactionary morons tell me it's too expensive the US just spent 1.5 trillion on fighter jets. That is just one wasteful spending by the US government; there is probably more. Student debt is about 200 billion less than the fighter jets. It's a terrible argument to keep students in debt just because that is what they agreed; what choice did they have if they wanted the education? I don't care if the other representatives wouldn't go for it; sometimes you have to negotiate and negotiating from a more radical position would make the final result more left-wing. Blue Dog Democrates like Obama and the Clintons negotiate from the center so the compromise position is more right leaning. Bad idea. Theory attributed to Kyle from Secular Talk. | |||

Clinton, Alex Jones, Leaks |
|||
|
The media is reporting the FBI has reopened the case into Hillary Clinton's emails. When I called the election I did not expect this. Though apparently it is only 3 emails, not from her private server, so probably no big deal. However ultimately I think that Trump will fuck whatever opportunities he has up so I don't see this changing. By the way the way the number of times Hillary Clinton has been investigated by the FBI during an election campaign: 2. The number of times Bernie Sanders has been investigated by the FBI during an election campaign: 0. Just saying! 2020 is a different story; a Republican will probably win very easily if he's not an utter freak like Donald Trump. Of course assuming that Hillary Clinton is not impeached.
Speaking of utter freaks let's talk about Alex Jones. Hillary has been an attack ad out connecting Donald Trump to Alex Jones; she is right to do this. Alex Jones says 9/11 is a conspiracy, so is Sandy Hook, Newtown, almost everything else you can think of. The things he says are batshit crazy. BEING GAY IS A SPACE CULT TRYING TO MAKE PEOPLE ASEXUAL! Oh you need serious help if you take this guy seriously. Trump going on the Alex Jones Show should have been bigger news at the time. Hillary should call him out for associating with an utter lunatic. Wikileaks have released 21 batches of emails relating to Hillary Clinton. Why can't they find things on Donald Trump and release them like his taxes? This would give them the appearance of being neutral. The Clinton campaign were happy that Florida was a closed primary. It seems that they only want people voting if they vote their way. In other leaks Sweden were simultaneously lobbying the State Department under Hillary Clinton over doing business with Iran and donating to the Clinton Foundation. Hillary Clinton wanted to do a speech in Morocco shortly after her campaign launch but the other people in the campaign stopped her from doing so. This tells us that one of the most corrupt people in the Clinton campaign is Hillary Clinton herself. With her in charge cronyism will be alive and well. | |||
