So Republicans in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania insisted that the mail in ballots not be counted until after election day or later. Now that these ballots are being counted notice how Milwaukee, Philadelphia, Detroit and other areas are mentioned by the same Republicans.

They claim the election is being stolen.

Bullshit.

It is not a conspiracy when areas with significant populations of African Americans are voting. But that is what Trump and his apologists are asserting. In the memory of John Lewis, fuck off you racist assholes.

The right to vote for people of color was won through long bloody righteous battles. We are not going back because a corrupt racist reality TV clown wants to funnel more funds from the US government into his family estate.

Republicans insisted on delays in the vote count. If you don't like it, vote out every single Republican.

FACT: Republican Legislators Insisted on Delaying the Count

Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Michigan all have Republican legislators that refused to let the mail in ballots be counted until election day or later. If you think it is outrageous that it is taking too long to count the votes you should direct your anger to these Republicans or shut the fuck up.

These assholes created the delays and now seek to blame others. These are the facts. There is no debate. We would have all known the results on election night if Republicans hadn't insisted that we were only going to get partial results on election day. That's all. Enough bullshit.

Want votes counted faster? Never vote for a Republican again and then you can have your wish.

Also, as of today, Trump no longer owns the libs. He only owns the fools and loosers who are still defending his racist infected ass.

Good luck with all that.

Not a day goes by without some fact being released about Trump when someone in the media says “I don’t understand why Trump would say (or do) that. What is he thinking?”

Well I have a simple 2 step process for those folks and here it is:

Step 1. Form the news item as a simple statement of fact. Here are a few to get you started:

a. Trump wants to preserve Confederate Statues and glorify the history behind them.

b. Trump knew that Russia put a bounty on American soldiers, did nothing and now denies the facts entirely.

c. Trump calls peaceful protesters demanding social justice criminals and thugs.

d. Trump has begged China and Russia to help him get re-elected.

e. Trump opposes vote by mail or any reforms that make it easier for Americans to exercise their right to vote.

Step 2. Now, take any one of the Statements of fact from Step 1, and place these words in front:

“Because he is a racist, cowardly traitor, “ So now you have your answer, and the amazing thing is, this will work with whatever he does going forward as well. So my examples above become:

a. Because he is a racist, cowardly traitor, Trump wants to preserve Confederate Statues and glorify the history behind them.

b. Because he is a racist, cowardly traitor, Trump knew that Russia put a bounty on American soldiers, did nothing and now denies the facts entirely.

c. Because he is a racist, cowardly traitor, Trump calls peaceful protesters demanding social justice criminals and thugs.

d. Because he is a racist, cowardly traitor, Trump has begged China and Russia to help him get re-elected.

e. Because he is a racist, cowardly traitor, Trump opposes vote by mail or any reforms that make it easier for Americans to exercise their right to vote.

I live in Wisconsin, home of two Senators, the amazing Tammy Baldwin, and the batshit crazy Ron Johnson. As most of you know, Ron Johnson just made his mark on Sunday 10/6/2019 as he howled at the moon about right-wing crackpot conspiracy theories. But here in Wisconsin, it is not just Johnson standing up for Trump stating he did nothing wrong. This has led me to communicate with my Wisconsin Democratic office holders with the following message. I am sharing this in case anyone else feels the same way and I would encourage you to also contact your elected representatives.

“I am very concerned about what Ron Johnson and many Wisconsin State level Republican politicians have been saying about the obvious illegal and impeachable behavior of President Trump. When I hear them say that "He did nothing wrong" it tells me that what they are saying is that U.S. Politicians in executive positions are within their rights to impact International Relations in order to benefit themselves and/or their own political campaigns. Could someone please confront these Wisconsin Politicians with the following simple question:
Since you believe Trump did nothing wrong, you are then saying that you would be fine with the Governor of Wisconsin holding up an international trade deal let's say for agricultural products, until the Foreign Government provided dirt on Wisconsin Republicans in office or running for elected office. If they cannot say that would be fine, then they need to condemn Trump's actions.”

Costco sells a lot of paper products like toilet paper, tissues and paper towels. They do extensive testing and market research on staples like these. However, I have never found a Costco that carries any recycled versions of these products.

After checkout there is always a suggestion box where you can leave a suggestion to carry recycled products and if enough of us do so, we could have a positive impact on reducing deforestation. (they really read these I am told)

Thanks

Right wing tool and Attorney General of Wisconsin, J.B. Van Hollen said Friday he would not defend the state in a lawsuit over the state's new domestic partner law. In part he said:

"My duty to is to the people of the state of Wisconsin and the highest expression of their will - the constitution of the state of Wisconsin," Van Hollen said in a statement. "When the people have spoken by amending our constitution, I will abide by their command. When policy makers have ignored their words, I will not."

This is not the first time that Van Hollen has shown himself to be a right-wing tool. During the 2008 presidential election cycle, he tried to disqualify Wisconsin voters in an effort to swing the state towards the GOP.

Lou Dobbs, noted anti-immigration TV personality posing as a journalist has gone so bat-shit-crazy with his recent "birther coverage" of our President that he really does need to be replaced. CNN provides a feedback form for sending comments directly to the all-knowing-Lou and so, why not take a moment to share your thoughts on the subject?

On Sunday, September 14, 2003 on Meet the Press, Tim Russert asked this question of then Vice President Dick Cheney:

MR. RUSSERT: Democrats have written you letters and are suggesting profiteering by your former company Halliburton and this is how it was reported: "Halliburton, the company formerly headed by Vice President Cheney, has won contrast worth more than $1.7 billion under Operation Iraqi Freedom and stands to make hundreds of millions more dollars under a no-bid contract awarded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, according to newly available documents. The size and scope of the government contracts awarded to Halliburton in connection with the war in Iraq are significantly greater than was previously disclosed and demonstrate the U.S. military’s increasing reliance on for-profit corporations to run its logistical operations." Were you involved in any way in the awarding of those contracts?

The United States has a vast surplus of housing. Housing values have plummeted. Is there something the Federal Government could do besides handing over more money to the fools in the financial sector that brought us here? Actually there is, and if you read this and agree, please let your elected officials know because no one is talking about it. (more after the fold)

It was a cold October night, the Republican Party, once a proud slasher of taxes for billionaires and food stamps is found dead in the shower. But who is responsible for this act of MURDER?

The current approach you hear about involves handing hundreds of billions over to those who engineered the economic failure. Yet listen to the reasons given that we, the taxpayers should cover the tab.
