Fact is, Trump could probably not find Costa Rica on a map. He isn’t so good with geography, though he has pointed out that there are a lot of shit-hole countries in Africa. The White House refers to Puerto Rico as a country, I suppose because it is surrounded by water, BIG water, ocean water. He is claiming that the US has sent 91 billion dollars for reconstruction (in actuality, only 40 billion) after a devastation hurricane, Maria. (He also made insurance claims for Mar-a-Lago). BTW, each trip to Mar a Lago, according to the GAO (General Accounting Office) cost the taxpayer about $4 million. What the hell, it would cost more if the staff there were documented and if they got health care. But wait, he has a secret plan for that… Repeal Obamacare and pray. I swear, I heard it, and we will all find out in 19 months, that is IF, and only if the GOP wins back the House, they don’t lose the Senate and, IF, he is reelected. You can bet your health on that.

He came down that escalator in his 68 story building (its really only 58 but accuracy isn’t a strong suit) vowing to protect us from the brown people (after all, they are rapists, etc.) says the pussy-grabber. I’ve been in Trump Tower. it looks like the interior decorator also furnished for Saddam Hussein. I know, why should it matter. Melanie doesn’t seem to care, nor does Sarah Sanders or a whole lot of evangelicals. Religion doesn’t bother me but hypocrites, there is a special place in hell for you. Lying? That’s different . In Trumps case, it is quantity, notquality. As of day 773 in office, lies and misleading statements tally to 9014. Damn, he is good. Seriously, he is. Watch one of those pep rallies where he comes out clapping, lie after lie and the marionettes cheer as if they are watching Oprah and the parking lot is full of brand new Buicks. Can it be true, that maybe 40% of eligible voters can’t discern bullshit or do they just not care.

Total vindication, in the eyes of William Barr, who presented his 17 page resume to the white house prior to his appointment as attorney general made his case quite clear, a sitting president cannot be indicted, therefore proffered exoneration before the Mueller report was even presented. We have a paradox here, there can be no crime if a person cannot be indicted. We do need to see the Mueller report, after that, all of us can decide if Trump was vindicated. As far as ‘obstruction’ he cautioned, however, that Mr. Mueller’s report states that “while this report does not conclude that the president committed a crime, it also does not exonerate him” on the obstruction of justice issue. I expect that when we do get something called the Mueller report, it will have so much redaction that we will see only two words, ‘no’ and ‘collusion’.. So much for transparency. This so called hoax produced 199 convictions or guilty pleas.

Where does this moron get his information? Fox and Friends makes some dumb assed comment or makes up a number or fact and the Trump repeats it. It’s probably false. He and Hannity spend the night having phone sex and devising policy and it is fed to us through a tweet the very next day, or through the next six news cycles, until someone tells him that no one is buying it. Last Friday, he rattled on about how closing the border would add so much money to the US economy, today, Wednesday, it will cost us millions. Again, today, windmill noise causes cancer. Someone will be out tomorrow saying it was a joke. Mr. President, YOU are a joke. You have no credibility, no moral compass, and no contact with reality. When there is no wind, we can still watch television, on cloudy days, the coffee pot still works and high-sulfur coal still pollutes. Puerto Rico has been a US territory since 1898 and Brown Lives matter.
