Racist Buffoon, Jared Kushner, Lying Buffoon |
|||
|
Another week another Orange Buffoon is racist story. Short version he's calling a district of primarily people with black skin rat infested and a congressman with black skin to go back and fix his district. I'm bored of this. The media needs to stop calling out his racism, because everyone should fucking know he's a racist.
Now, speaking of rat infested, Jared Kushner has property in that area and yes he could fix it and chooses not to. So rather than bothering a congressman which already has a job why doesn't Orange Buffoon just ask the Buffoon-in-law? If Buffoon was so concerned about the rats he'd ask for legislation to be tougher of landlords, of course he's not going to do that. Buffoon said that he was at ground zero while doing a press conference about the compensation fund for first responders. Nobody can verify this, of course! They can verify that he took money meant to help small businesses through 9/11 and he bragged that he had the tallest building. Buffoon is disgusting, what's new? There's probably not much of a story here. Why is giving health-care to first responders a political issue anyway? The U.S.A. is absurd. | |||

Pale Buffoon, Epstein, Spacey |
|||
|
The UK has a new Prime Minister, I shall call him Pale Buffoon. He is a bit of a clown and his hair looks like Orange Buffoon. His real name is Boris Johnson, he was the face of the Brexit movement. Britain has been fucking around regarding Brexit, they don't know what they are doing. Since Brexit two Prime Ministers have resigned. Maybe they're trying to out do Australia with PM changes?
A huge sex trafficking investigation is underway and it involves Jeffery Epstein, a man who was a known associate of Orange Buffoon and Bill Clinton. Buffoon frequently partied with Epstein but had a falling out. Clinton also claims that he had a falling out. How convenient. Information probably will come out about at least one. I think that I will wait to comment until that time. It is very odd that the prosecutor that gave Epstein a plea deal ended up in the Buffoon administration and has now resigned from his position. He allowed Epstein the ability to leave prison to work and apparently he was still abusing victims at this time. Buffoon says he hires the "best people". Obviously the "best people" to Orange Buffoon give rich people a slap on the wrist when they commit crimes. Epstein used the same bank as Orange Buffoon, which probably says more about the bank than anything else. Epstein had Saudi Arabian passports, I guess as you do if you're guilty of horrific crimes. Will he finally face justice? Charges are dropped against Kevin Spacey, this doesn't mean he's innocent, or guilty. Certainly a less lowsome character than Epstein. If something shady happened sadly it doesn't look like he'll face justice if he did it. It wasn't only one accusation keep in mind. If there are at least two accusers, how many guys haven't come forward? Zero? More than? There should at least be a question mark over his name. | |||

Four women, Subpoenas |
|||
|
So another Orange Buffoon is racist story, I am seriously bored of this. I was considering not covering this until I realize the four people involved already receive death threats and Orange Buffoon saying that they hate the country will only increase the threats. Even that is is nothing new. Remember the bombs some deranged lunatic sent to Buffoon's enemies? Remember the attacks on the press? Nancy Pelosi condemned it in the house. She can still impeach, she chooses not to. I will give her no credit, patheticly weak leader she is.
Two minutes ago Orange Buffoon hated Nancy Pelosi and Amazon, now since four women of different races have spoken out against both of them, he is defending them and attacking the four women. Nobody should be surprised by them. Flip flopping and racism is kind of what he does. He told the four women to go back to their own country, but 3/4 were born in the United States. What I found significantly more amusing is he criticizes them for saying how the country should be run. This is kind of the point of politicians LOL! Imagine someone being elected and then going I'm completely indifferent to how the country is run. Taxes, don't care! Health-care, don't care! Who knew health-care could be this complicated! Immigration, I don't care do you? Judges, who needs judges? Spot the Buffoon/Mrs Buffoon quotes. Maybe I accidentally stumbled on some projection here. Meanwhile Kellyanne Conway is not showing up for Subpoenas. If the Democrats had any guts they would throw her in jail, but obviously they don't so apparently Subpoenas from Congress are optional now. | |||

Compensation Parade, Iran, Debate |
|||
|
It's that time of the month when I have to remind everyone what a fucking moron the leader of the free world is. At his Compensation Parade (4th of July military parade to everyone else but my title is more honest.) he said that the British took over the airports in the Revolutionary War. Airplanes weren't invented at that time. He went on to name the different airpoints, which didn't fucking exist at that time. He named JFK airport, an airport named after a person born over 100 years later. He also implied that the inventor of the telephone was from USA, he was born in Scotsland and moved to Canada. Now if you don't know basic history, totally fine but if you're the President and are doing a speech at your own event then you probably should know what the fuck you're talking about.
The US is probably going to wars with Iran the question is when. John Bolton and other assholes are trying to provoke Iran and looking for excuses. Orange Buffoon even ordered a strike, then cancelled at the last minute, which is good, I guess. It is kind of like congratulating a dog for shitting on the sofa and not dragging the poo elsewhere. The winners from the first Democrat debate were Harris and Warren. Biden is down, so is Sanders. Everybody else is polling fuck all and probably should drop out. Out of the four Biden had the weakest performance: Harris went after him for working with segregationists. It wasn't a good night for him. It isn't a good time for Sanders either since he isn't rising. We have two establishment candidates and two progressive candidates as the main race for now. | |||

GoFundMe, Don Brash, John Bolton |
|||
|
Sigh, this is the issue that won't die. I have to explain free speech to idiots. So the (probably closeted) rugby player started a GoFundMe to fund his legal defense, it got shut down. Firstly HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Secondly idiots are claiming this is a free speech issue. Free speech just means that the government can't punish you for your speech, it has nothing to do with contracts, social media platforms or crowd funding websites. They all have the right to tell you to fuck off. Sure, you can argue whether they should have that ability like arguing whether a baker should be forced to bake a wedding cake for a gay couple which conservatives side with the baker. So again absolutely no consistency with conservatives. I guess the difference is there is no public harm done by baking a cake, well unless you're a particularly awful baker. Allowing corporations and organizations to do as they please is consistent with right wing ideologies. What if a player said fuck all christians? I bet the free speech conservatives would be singing a different tune. I think free speech to some just means that I want you to accept my bigoted opinions and don't care what rights you have!
Don Brash entered the circus because he can't have another person getting credited for being a bigot. Firstly like the rugby player why does the media care what he thinks? This is an irrelevant person commenting on an irrelevant rugby players comments. Doesn't the media have anything better to cover? Even Jacinda's wedding plans would be more relevant than this shit. Who is at home wondering what Don Brash thinks about anything? Don Brash once said that protesters were interrupting his free speech. So the guy that almost lead the country (New Zealand) doesn't understand the very basic fact that free speech rights are a governmental issue. That is just scary! The protesters also have free speech. Again I don't fucking care what these people have to say, nobody should fucking care what these people have to say. Stop covering this fucking issue! Oh and John Bolton is trying his hardest to invade Iran but Orange Buffoon won't let him. Thank fuck for that. When I am routing for Orange Buffoon against you, you're really a fucked up person. I hope that Buffoon sticks with it. | |||

Pelosi, Huckabee-Sanders, Publicity for bigots |
|||
|
Nancy Pelosi tweeted the hashtag #LawlessPresident, what a joke she is. It's like a cop yelling lawless guy when they see someone robbing a bank. I am not sure who I dislike more Pelosi or Orange Buffoon. Well probably Buffoon but Pelosi isn't far behind. DO A FUCKING IMPEACHMENT INQUIRY ALREADY! The response to her tweet were 90% saying she should impeach. She's a dumb person, she is assuming impeachment will make the Democrats lose but when Clinton was impeached over fewer crimes and not being a lifelong criminal the opposing party WON the election in 2000. It's called history. Look it the fuck up. Bill Clinton was likable, Orange Buffoon is not. There's no reason not to impeach, Pelosi has no idea what she's doing and should be removed from her role.
Sarah Huckabee-Sanders left the Buffoon administration, no big surprise. Rumors about her leaving were going around for at least six months. She probably hated her job as Press Secretary, the briefings were unusually rare under her probably because she had no credibility and/or sucked at her job. If you're keeping score this is the second press secretary to leave, the first was a joke too. I wonder what clown they'll put up next.. I am sick of stories about anti gay bigots like that rugby fuckwit last week. I know I did a story but there's an update to the story, which I will not read and will not cover. People don't need to know about a new attack by a bigot. At a certain point the media is just giving publicity to these people. Such companies are making a choice to do so. They're giving people bigger microphones, they should stop. Before the free speech brigade cries, free speech does not entitle you to have news stories written about you.Of course the media can decide who they give attention to, but right now their decision sucks! | |||

Crowder, Straight pride parades, Folau |
|||
|
Steven Crowder is a comedian, but personally I think he can more accurately be described as an asshole. A journalist complained that he was getting constant gay slurs from Crowder and this violated YouTube's terms of service, which it does. YouTube since responded claiming it doesn't but offered no further clarification. I think it's a case of selective enforcement. The channel has since been demonetized; if he was doing nothing wrong why demonetize him? I believe that YouTube has the right to decide what is on its platform (conservatives don't btw) but the journalist should look into harassment laws and if appropriate take action against Crowder or YouTube. Crowder does punch down comedy and pokes fun of the powerless; he once imitated a person in a wheelchair and does similar to trans people. Comedy usually punches up because if you do that you're not being a complete asshole.
A few idiots in Boston want a straight pride parade, because, they want to be victims and/or deeply insecure about their sexuality. Sure that's not the official reason, but read between the lines! I don't mind a straight pride parade but I don't see a reason for it. Nobody is stopping people from being straight, people aren't bullied for being straight, laws aren't passed against straight people, straight sex is not banned in some countries, neither is straight marriage. As Cenk Uygur says some people can't wait to be victims. Boohoo we don't have a straight parade. If you think you need a straight parade, you're probably not straight. Nobody is told they're going to hell just because they're straight. An (probably closeted) Australian rugby player Israel Folau is suing because he keeps telling gay people they're going to hell on social media and was fired. Firstly many organizations have good character clauses, he broke that though honestly those things are just a catch all for anything controversial and is selectively enforced. I don't like organizations dictating what people can or can't say in private. However it's not exactly private if you said it on social media to thousands of followers that you only have because of your sport. The majority of them only give a shit about him because of his career. Some of them might be struggling GLBT and telling them they're going to hell might not be something they need. Do organizations including corporate sponsors have to deal with homophobia? Shouldn't they be allowed to exercise their rights not to support someone? It also escapes them from further bad press and boycotts; if something rises to that level something ruled by capitalism would have to act, which by the way is the free market at work. The free market has decided the guy is an asshole. | |||

Australia, Sleepy Joe Biden, Strategy |
|||
|
The right wing won the recent election in Australia. According to a commentator I follow the Labor leader was piss weak and stood for nothing other than we're not the tories. It is clear that the strategy is a loser. Didn't work for the Democrats in 2016, didn't work for NZ Labour in 2008. We're not the tories isn't a viable election strategy and does not inspire people to vote for you.
I don't want to give credit to Orange Buffoon but maybe he's on to something with the nickname Sleepy Joe Biden. Joe Biden believes he can work with Republicans when he gets in. Was Biden in a coma throughout Obama's entire presidency? Republicans didn't let Obama do anything. The right-wing solution to health-care got NO votes from the right-wing party, although many Democrats lean right-wing by international standards, it got NO Republican votes. Obama kept reaching out, the Republicans kept punching him in the face. The same thing will happen. Biden is not great on policy but this also shows a deep lack of understanding of the political climate in the USA today, and hell the political climate in the last decade. Nancy Pelosi said that she'll pray for Orange Buffoon after he stormed out of an infrastructure meeting. While this was wonderfully patronizing Ben Dixon had the best commentary; this sounds like thoughts and prayers after a massacre, they do nothing. Nancy: Don't pray, impeach! If I was her I would get every Democrat to go on TV and say constantly he's a criminal (because it's fucking true) then I would start impeachment proceedings, go through the documents that would be uncovered because of the inquiry. Then I would likely have a new set of crimes, the Democrats will just repeat criminal criminal criminal throughout. If the Republicans don't convict at least his name will be toxic. This is how you fucking do politics! Hillary Clinton partly lost because they turned her name to shit! They investigated the shit out of her, even though the investigations found nothing. You already have an investigation that uncovered crimes and it only scratched the surface. Stop being so fucking weak and enforce the law! | |||

Subpoenas, Facebook bans |
|||
|
Over the past few weeks it has basically been Democrats subpoenas, Buffoon administration, Buffoon administration ignores subpoena. William Barr has been held in contempt of congress/kind of/but not really, which doesn't go far enough. They should jail every administration official that doesn't comply with the s, throw them all in jail until they do what's legally required of them.
Buffoon Jr has been subopened by the senate which is an interesting twist as it is republican controlled. I predict it will be a bunch of soft ball interviews, but I could be wrong. Facebook banned a bunch of horrible people and misfits. Someone that says Sandy Hook was fake (or an inside job, I don't remember) went on the Alex Jones show and said she wasn't a conspiracy theorist. LOL if I was going to say that I wasn't a conspiracy theorist the last possible place that I would announce it would be on Alex Jones. How ridiculous. I don't think that you should be be banned from online platforms just for being a conspiracy theorist. On the other hand saying that grieving families are actors is slanderous. Conspiracy theorists sometimes are a public nuisance when they convince people that climate change is a hoax. Private corporations are about profits, they are not responsible for enforcing free speech. If they get sued because they allow slander that will eat into their bottom line and that is a problem for them. Government regulations may fix this but ironically some right-wingers that want to say racist and conspiratoral nonsense hate regulations. They need to decide what they hate more corporate censorship or government regulations. Corporations are just not going to allow people to post everything, clearly that idea is just ideological and does not translate into the real world, much like their economic ideas. Another option would be to crowd fund a platform that's hosted in Panama or somewhere similar that ignores laws. | |||

Meuller, Buttigieg, Biden, Terrorism |
|||
|
A redacted version of the Mueller report is out, I changed my mind. I did say there was no collusion during the election, but this is only part of the story. The Tower meeting proves the intent to collude by Buffoon Jr and possibly others, which is still a crime. Also Buffoon tried to obstruct justice about ten different times, again this is still a crime even if the idiot was unsuccessful. My conclusion remains the same, lock this fucker up. Actually scrap that, lock his son up too.
Pete Buttigieg is running for president, he has fuck all policy (because he's a corporatist) and should be ignored. As mayor he didn't do anything about racist police officers. He's for taking big donor money. He recently spoke badly about Bernie Sanders supporters. Hillary Clinton was also dismissive of Bernie supporters, that didn't work out for her. I've noticed a similar trend as the 2016 Republican primary, the media picks their favourite for a few weeks then whoever fizzles out. His answer for health-care is the public option, which is not great but meh. The problem with that is that health-care companies just push the really expensive people to the government plan which makes it less efficient than universal health-care. He doesn't believe in universal college. His attitude is neoliberal and short sighted as once you take away the debt people have more money to spend in the economy which will grow it. I am NOT a bleeding heart liberal; people annoy me. I am just for smart economics instead of the neoliberal crap which doesn't work for most people Despite being gay he gets a NO from me because his ideas suck. There's countless other candidates that I haven't reviewed and probably would be pointless to review. I'll do one occasionally. Joe Biden announces, I already hate his campaign. His announcement video sucked, no policy at all. I just got he's not Orange Buffoon from his video. His video felt empty of an actual vision apart from let's go back to when we weren't racist. Terrible ad, terrible candidate! A terrorist attack happened over easter in Sri Lanka. There is not much to say, terrorism is horrible, ISIS is horrible. I believe that Orange Buffoon claimed victory over ISIS a few weeks ago, well I guess he was mistaken. Sounds like Bush's mission accomplished moment. The US needs to employ smarter strategies against fighting terrorism. The death toll is over 300. It's a tragedy for the country and the people involved. | |||

Buffoon and Joe Biden |
|||
|
Buffoon fired the homeland security head, apparently because she wasn't willing to break the law as much as Buffoon would have liked. On the one hand I say let the bastard break the law, perhaps he'll get impeached. On the other hand he has broken "many many" laws so who knows if that will happen.
The head of the secret service has been fired because a Chinese spy was found at Mar-a-Largo. Not sure why the secret service is responsible for a private company. (update, these things are not connected) The entity that hired the spy is obviously run by dumb people. All they had to do was pay $200,000 for a membership, perhaps they didn't have the money. I know I don't. There's another Chinese woman selling access to Buffoon, she had ladies of the night in her last line of work I believe. I think she is under investigation. If all parties were consenting, I don't really care but it is one more publicly blunder for the Buffoon administration and it is amusing. Joe Biden is under fire for making women uncomfortable. Firstly this is not new news. He has a reputation of being creepy old Joe! Considering Buffoon has about 6 assault allegations against him, well if nobody like Joe can be in office, Buffoon must resign immediately. Do we have a deal. Biden was joking about the situation earlier in the week which angered some parts of the left. Bottom line: nobody's accusing him of assault unlike Buffoon so if it is Biden vs Buffoon, vote for Biden. However Biden is too centrist for me, so I hope that he loses the primary if he enters. | |||

Orange Buffoon, Mueller report, Anger, Leaving Neverland |
|||
|
I just watched a clip from Cenk Uygur about Buffoon may be unwell because he said his father was born in Germany when he was born in the US. Two problems with this. Buffoon is mentality unwell, no shit! Second problem, this isn't the first time he said this. I believe he said this in the Art of the Deal book and on his UK visit. So this alone doesn't indicate deterioration. You're not going to convince me otherwise. He said more crazy things, wind power causes cancer, republicans lost the midterms because of forged votes, Mueller report had oranges. You didn't misread the last one. Perhaps that would indicate deterioration. The other stuff is typical crazy Buffoon.
Mueller didn't find collusion before the election; this doesn't mean that a deal wasn't made after the election. This also means I was right all along. Democrats should have impeached him before the Mueller report on other charges. They still should impeac. He committed obstruction of justice clear as day, plus the illegal hush money payments, several constitutional violations, fraud before he was election. How many crimes can this guy commit before anybody in Washington holds him accountable? This is a serious question. I'll just quote what Orange Buffoon said about the central park five after they were found innocent. He "must be guilty of something". I still haven't learned the last name of the Christchurch terrorist and I hope it stays this way. Luckily people have stopped posting pictures of him on social media. I will not be reading his manifesto either. The justice system will deal to him no matter what, there's no point getting angry. Anger is fine if you can change things or entertain people. Neither applies to this situation. There's also no point of view or arguments in this situation. So the terrorist is best forgotten about and the focus must be on the victims. I did watch Leaving Neverland and I left with one conclusion, the parents were idiots. One quote stuck with me "He could go anywhere, he could do anything, but he wanted to spend time with my son". That sounds like a major red flag to me. The parents were idiots. I am not victim blaming, the parents were not the victims. Of course Jackson should have faced justice, but he was rich, so that didn't happen. It was mostly an one sided movie but there's also the settlement, multiple other court cases, medical book material found at his home. It's sad to think a guy that I admired in my younger days did those things. I guess that's life. | |||

Christchurch Terror Attack |
|||
|
There has been a terror attack in Christchurch, New Zealand where I live. The target were Muslims. I don't feel like addressing anything else. I can say I think the government has the right solution. Luckily they appear to be following the Australian solution rather than the US which frankly offers no solutions whatsoever so massacres keep happening. Luckily we don't have the NRA buying off politicians. Nobody needs access to military grade weapons except the military. I don't care about your sport or duck shooting. People claim they're being punished due to the attack. Are you being punished by the government not allowing you to have tanks or nuclear weapons? I know they're taking it away but the fact is countries without assault rifles don't have these types of attacks. For me the real question is why after the dozens of massacres in the US those weapons were still able to be purchased here? Some of those lives could have been saved. You can't kill as many people with other types of people with other types of weaponry, that's just a fact. Also this is proposing a solution, not politicizing a tragedy to be clear. I don't accept people are politicizing a tragedy by proposing solution. If you don't have a solution it would be more likely to happen again.
The terrorists will probably claim Muslims are the violent ones. This is not true. Many groups have their radical fringes; they do not speak for everyone in the group. The only violent ones here are the white supremacist terrorists. I was once accused of defensive of Muslims. I am not defensive of Muslims, I am just not a bigot. The problem is that people believe things about the Muslim community that are just not true. People prefer to hate than fact check and their ideas accumulate. Sometimes it leads to this. Earthquakes, a terrorist attack, what's next? Christchurch again needs to heal. Also frankly you could better do this by staying away from Facebook comments. | |||

Michael Jackson |
|||
|
Some people believe that Michael Jackson's music should be gone because of his alleged abused. I say alleged but honestly I am just saying alleged for the sake of saying alleged. I believe he was a predator. I never believed he was, but after medical book material with graphic images was found at his home, I really don't see any other explanation, sorry. Plus he did settle a court case. If you don't believe he's a predator, you probably have a bad case of blindness due to emotional attachment. I don't want to argue with people online about this, I don't care what you believe. Maybe I am wrong. Allegations go back 25 years, and that is my problem with this. Suddenly they decided to take away his music? Huh? It's possible that the combination of the documentary and the modified culture lead to this. Perhaps it is a sign of culture evolving.
If you've been a victim of abuse I can understand why people celebrating such a man make you uneasy. However the music industry full of creeps and abusers; mostly to a lesser extent than Jackson's allegations. The sad reality is that you'd exclude a lot of artists depending of what threshold you start the acceptable level of behaviour. Thinking about it objectively this doesn't really affect my life and doesn't really hurt anybody, so whatever. I don't really care if he isn't on the radio but would point out they should have done that when he was alive for the sake of consistency. I also see why people may think they're punishing the fans. Ultimately I have better things to worry about than whether Michael Jackson is allowed on the airways. | |||

North Korea, Michael Cohen, CGT, Right wing leaders |
|||
|
Commander Bone Spurs is in Vietnam (finally) he has done a deal with Kim Jong-un. I use the term deal loosely as it asserts North Korea will scale back nukes but the US is not going to verify anything. In other words it's nothing. My best interpretation is that the US government knows that North Korea will not give up their nukes so they wanted to do a deal, without doing a deal. Farron Cussins speculates that Orange Buffoon just wants to build towers in North Korea; although I really don't think that would be worth his while. He bankrupted casinos and tried to sell Vodka to Russians, even if it is bad business sense, that is totally his M.O.
Michael Cohen testified against Orange Buffoon, some notes He didn't plan on winning the election, so my first instinct was right. He knew about the tower meeting, not surprised. He paid back Cohen the hush money payment after the election and it was solely because of the election that he paid. Again not surprised and he theoretically could be impeached over this.. He knew about the Wikileaks email dump before it happened. Cohen threatened Buffoon's schools not to release his grades. Proving my point that he has always been an idiot. Apart from the last I'm not surprised by most of it. Everyone is saying bombshells but frankly I kind of assumed most of the points already. I did go back and forward on whether he wanted to win. I'll take the word of his lawyer. Meanwhile in New Zealand the Tax Working Group recommended a Capital Gains Tax. The over cynical side of me says that they must have built a time machine as this was Labour's policy in 2011. I am not entirely clear why people say it'll be too complicated considering most of the OECD has it. You tell them that they shift the goal post saying the US has it and it hasn't reduced inequality, which completely ignores the fact that since the Regan administration taxes have gone down, which ironically is an argument for more taxation. A quick look on Wikipedia reveals there are about a dozen countries with higher income and sales taxes than us. I am not arguing for a C.G.T. here but facts are facts. I say we tax Facebook and block the site if it doesn't pay, because if it doesn't pay at least the fucking site will be blocked. Jenny Shipley and other Mainzeal directors were ordered by the High Court to pay combined compensation of $36 million to Mainzeal creditors. My only point is why do right winger leaders suck at business? Rodger Douglas had a failed pig farm. George W Bush had a failed oil company. Orange Buffoon had failed casinos, plus at minimum five other failed businesses. Perhaps they just suck at managing things. | |||

National emergency and Bernie Sanders |
|||
|
I for one am grateful a national emergency has been declared. The president is an idiotic lunatic. One should have been declared on inauguration. Of course it's not the reason Orange Buffoon declared one, he just wants funding for his ridiculous border wall. A border wall that is completely unnecessary as crossings has remained stagnant for years, more drugs are found at legal ports of entry, undocumented immigrants commit crimes at lower rates because they don't want to be sent back, the economy feeds on immigration and people overstaying their visas is a good portion of illegal immigration. Additionally people can just dig under walls. So there is no emergency and even if there was a border wall wouldn't fix it.
Orange Buffoon said he "didn't need to do this" in reference to the national emergency. I'm not entirely sure that he knows what an emergency is. I predict that this will get struck down in court which would give Orange credibility to say to his moronic base that he did everything possible and but the wall could not be built. Which ignores the fact that he could have gotten it very easily by holding the tax cuts hostage, luckily he's a complete idiot and never thought of this. Bernie Sanders is running for president. Cue the hatred from the establishment because he would represent the people instead being a corporatist. I hope that he wins. Elizabeth Warren and Tulsi Gabbard are good enough choices but they have their issues with electability. He has name recognition, filled stadiums of people last time and has a constant net positive approval rating. On the other hand he will be constantly demonized especially in the media. He will be a massive gamble but I say roll the dice. Ironically Orange Buffoon have conditioned a percentage of people to hate the media so that may lessen the effect. While true that he didn't win the primary last time 40% against the "Clinton machine" with the media being favorable towards Clinton was a good effort, he did even better with independents. Money could be a problem but I believe Orange Buffoon won with less money than Clinton so who knows. | |||

Democrates and stupid people complaining |
|||
|
Amy Klobuchar is running for president, I don't know who she is or her record. I do know she's not for Medicare For All so we can put her in the centrist category. She has barely been featured in progressive news shows which tells me that she's not that amazing and the lack of a public profile does not tell me that she has prepared well for a run. Meh.
Elizabeth Warren formally announced she's running for president, confirming what everyone already knew. This week I feel like a rant: In New Zealand someone spotted an advertisement saying \'stop gender self identification, call your M.P. today". I bet these are the same assholes who would say the left is all about identity politics, while they spend time and money advocating against an identity issue. Why is self identity a problem? Why? These people should mind their own business. Right wingers say that the left wants to control people's life's, well what the fuck are you doing? If this isn't controlling people's life, I don't know what is. Self identification isn't an actual problem. CLIMATE CHANGE IS! IT IS CAUSING WILDFIRES, FLOODS AND OCCASIONALLY EXTINCTION OF ANIMALS, CAN WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT??? It will only get worse causing food shortages and even more natural disasters. No matter how many times President Orange Fuck Face tweets about it's snowing so there's no global warming, 99.7% of scientists say that climate change is happening. Unlike him they understand the difference between the global temperature of the climate and a cold day. Self identification really doesn't affect anyone but the people who want to identify as their preferred gender. The same people who call people on the left snowflakes are spending money on an issue that really doesn't affect them. I also have no time for people saying Star Wars is ruined because they made characters black. Or they made Buffy black, I'm a little snowflake so I'm melting down over fiction I don't have to watch. Oh for fuck sakes. How about you get offended by poverty and the state of the global environment instead of the fact Bond is now a woman. Seriously, fuck off! Oh you're against Social Justice Warriors but spend time constantly complaining about them instead of focusing on real issues. I spend time complaining on how I'm not allowed in mosh pits by some asshole venues that don't even have a legal requirement to do so as far as I can tell. However I acknowledge that it isn't the biggest issue facing humanity. At least I'm not getting upset over fictional characters or denying people rights because it offends me. For fuck sakes! | |||

Venezuela , Nuclear weapons, Ojeda, Booker |
|||
|
Venezuela had its election and it was not democratic. Countries are using this to get dictator out of power. Putin also runs rigged elections I don't remember the same calls to get him out of power. Orange Buffoon lost the popular vote by nearly 3 million. Yes the people are not starving but there's billions of starving people that the US does not help.
This is about oil and the hatred of a left government, nothing more. John Bolton said that it would be different if US oil companies could invest in the country. I guess he's OK with starving people as long as US corporations make money. Regime change will be another clusterfuck brought to you by the Neocons. Speaking of clusterfucks the US has pulled out of a treaty which bound them to stop building nuclear weapons. Russia has responded by saying that it will begin developing nuclear missiles. Clusterfuck! Richard Ojeda left the Democrat primary race. He felt going up against the corporate machines was pointless for the average man and didn't want people to waste their money. I didn't think that he had a hope in hell anyway. Cory Booker is running for president, he's a Wall Street Democrat. He voted against a bill which would have allowed the import of pharmaceutical drugs which would have resulted in lower prices and is enthusiastic about charter schools. I give him a hell no! | |||

Four shut down solutions, three corporate democrats |
|||
|
I don't have much to say, government is still shut down. You could end the shut down in two words: 25th amendment! The president is literally too crazy and stupid to keep the government open. "Bye bye" The republicans enable Buffoon. They also could open the government tomorrow if they wanted, through overriding a veto. They're choosing not to. The republicans deserve equal blame. Also the felonies are piling up. Impeachment could be an option, if the republicans had guts, which they don't. Yes blame the fucking republican politicians for this mess. Maybe they should just say they're giving him border wall funding but not put it in the bill, it's not like he will read it.
Julian Castro, Kirsten Gilibrand and Kamala Harris are running for president. Julian Castro comes off as a extremely fake corporate politician, actually all three do. Kamala Harris is famous in progressive circles for not prosecuting One West bank which ripped off people. The head of it is now the treasury secretary. Drain the swamp? Yeah right! Kirsten Gilibrand was a Corporate Democrat two years ago but after 2016 she's suddenly a progressive Democrat. Even if you believe she's change there's more reliable progressive Democrates in the race. Gilibrand is more savvy than Hillary Clinton about pandering to the left. I got the impression that Ana Kasparian thought that Kirsten researched Ana's political positions and was pandering to her. She said that her campaign will be about gender issues, which I take as code for "I'm going to do fuck all about income inequality". No to all three. | |||

McDonalds and Tulsi Gabbard |
|||
|
The US government is still shut down. It is affecting White House meals so Orange Buffoon ordered stacks of McDonalds and other fast food. I am not making this up, which is a common phrase I use to report on this administration because everything is so fucking ridiculous. You can see pictures on Twitter of him smiling near stacks of fast food, he's a fucking clown. It isn't the biggest problem of the shut down. National parks have gone to shit and workers are forced to open up GoFundMe campaigns because they aren't being paid. TSA workers are not showing up again because they're not getting paid. Having fast food at the White House isn't the biggest problem however replacing prepared meals with commercialized fast food is wonderfully symbolic of this administration and perhaps the Republican approach to governing in general.
Tulsi Gabbard is running for president; I at first was really enthused but after more information has come to my attention Bernie Sanders or Elizabeth Warren would probably be better however Tulsi would be a much better choice than any of the corporate Democrates. Political hack Howard Dean has been attacking her anti gay past. OK let's look at the Clintons' anti gay past. Bill Clinton signed anti gay legislation and Hillary Clinton didn't support equal marriage in 2008, Hillary I believe came out in support of equal marriage in 2014 which was two years after Tulsi Gabbard did. Hillary and Obama were allowed to "evolve" on the issue but Tulsi Gabbard is the devil, fuck off! Her father was an anti gay extremist (such people are more likely to be closeted homosexuals, just throwing it out there) and Tulsi got sucked in to his hate but is now supportive of gay rights. The Human Rights Campaign gave her 90%-100% on GLBT rights. I don't know what else these people want. Before people complain I know Hillary is not responsible for Bill's signing of anti gay legislation, I agree but I don't remember her speaking out at the time either, her record isn't squeaky clean and this was another thing. I didn't want to discuss Hillary Clinton's past or Hillary Clinton at all but people are bitching about Tulsi's past and they were happily supporting Hillary Clinton just three years ago. What the fuck? Tulsi is supportive of Medicare For All and Cannabis legalization. She is generally known as being anti war and has done things like introduced the Stop Arming Terrorists Act and wants out of Afghanistan. However her foreign policy is also problematic. She is OK with drone strikes and even torture under the right circumstances. Maybe she's ignorant on the fact that drone strikes kill up to 90% civilians and torture often leads to the wrong intel. What really pushed me over the edge was learning that Elizabeth Warren might be more willing to regulate corporations more than Tulsi. Tulsi is apparently in favor of less regulations but I have not verified this. If that turns out to be wrong. I will reconsider my position. David Pakman said this but all I can find on Google is Tulsi being supportive of regulations. She also has ties to right-wing nationalists in India; it's possible that she has too much baggage. Gabbord endorsed Bernie in the primaries, Warren did not. This is important as it speaks to her courage. Conclusion, again if she's the last progressive standing I'd pick her but I'd probably wait for the debates to see which progressive I would favor. | |||

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. | |||

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. | |||
