I am 74 years old today.
And Trump stinks!
Great God Almighty,
Trump stinks.
All I want for my birthday is an America in which people of good will unite to drive the foul narcissist who now disgraces us back to the foul recesses of Hell from which he came.
Out, foul Smelly Anne.
Begone foul Barr, butt kisser to criminals.
Flee, foul Suckabee, Goebbels wannabe.
From the rotting carcass of corruption, let a thousand Pelosis spring.
Let a thousand AOCs blend their splendid energy with the wisdom of a thousand Klobuchars.
Let a single sword be forged that will smite the very stable stink from this land and bring back the memory of the McCains and Teddy Roosevelts who once led us to glory.
Out, out, damn stink!
From purple mountain's majesty,
To the fertile hemp fields of our plains.
From our thriving coasts to our beleaguered gulf.
America rising as one giant to oust the stink.
Never again the stink!
Happy birthday, V.
That was quite a piece of writing there…👍👍
Happy Birthday, V. I made you a cake. Make a wish.
A big Happy Birthday from Yuma County (where it's hemp-planting season) to my good neighbor from Phillips County. Viva la Eagles![cheeky cheeky](https://cdn.ckeditor.com/4.11.3/full-all/plugins/smiley/images/tongue_smile.png)
Happy birthday, V. We may not always agree, but you seem to be a good egg, and your comments are appreciated and often quite funny. Enjoy your day!
You can still be president V based on my theory:
60 is the new 40
70 is the new 60,
But, 80 is 80.
Have a great birthday, V, and many more being V.
Happy birthday, V! And no matter how old you get, you will still be younger than Bernie and Biden.
Happy Birthday V! When you make a wish and blow out your candles, wish for an end to the Trumpstink and American fascism.
Happy Day! Hey, us old farts in our 70's are doing just fine, with a few exceptions such as #TrumpsterFire.
Not exonerated
"… confidence that the president clearly did not commit a crime, we would have said so.”
Crime or crimes were committed, but charges could not be brought.
" …charging the president with a crime was therefore not an option we could consider."
The oath of office – US House of Representatives
"… support and defend the Constitution of the United States …"
1+1+1 = 3
Constitution Article I, Section 2, Clause 5
“The House of Representatives … shall have the sole Power of Impeachment.”
The House must open an impeachment hearing and subpoena everything.
I am – as regulars here know – exceedingly stupid and quite muddled and confusing.
And I have been told that it's not just gun lovers that believe passing laws that won't stop the crimes they are aimed at is not good law.
Can anyone explain to me why
a) passing laws restricting access to guns is pointless because people who want to commit gun crimes will still get whatever gun they want
but
b) passing laws restricting access to abortion is not pointless because women who want to choose to end a pregnancy will still find a way to end that pregnancy.
One is guns, the other, women.
My Cat sez…"Well, duh."
I am convinced that the common thread here is the Christian Male Imperative. To the male evangelist both are just tools…
One to defend the faith…the other to make more little evangelists.
Well, Evangelists are just tools.
I think the purpose of conflating abortion rights with gun rights is to muddy the waters on both. Negev admitted as much (on another thread) – that he injects gun rights into any abortion debate and abortion into any gun rights debate, just to distract and deflect.
It's because laws are normally enacted to limit existing undesirable behaviors that led to the perceived need for a law, knowing that the behaviors may continue despite the law but could be regulated and minimized through legal penalties, however people will still find a way to obtain guns or drugs or porn since illegality creates a market-driven incentive to supply illegal goods and services, also creating an opportunity for spinmeisters to brand laws as failures – except none of this matters when it comes to abortion.
Not stupid, sometimes confusing. You write in your own gnomic poetic style, which makes the reader work a little harder to get your message sometimes, but I sort of like that.
To answer your question: there is no logic here, only emotion. "Pro life" people believe that they are saving babies, which makes them feel heroic. They don't look at saving kids after they are born, because some of those kids are poor and brown, and their Dear Leader tells them that those kids don't matter.
"Pro Guns" people feel fear of those same poor and brown people, and surround themselves with guns to protect from the hordes that supposedly want to take their stuff.
For people who put these messages out, they aren't worried about logical consistency. They only desire social control, and a compliant right wing social propaganda machine helps them out.
"…helping me to get elected".
He never said that before.

Goddamn these Republic…
Oops! Forgot to mention: the bill was sponsored in both state houses by Democrats.
Meanwhile Israel maintains one of the most liberal abortion policies in the developed world – and they're free. Next up: the world leader in cannabis production. Any guesses on whether PoddyMouth is going to demand we end our aid to Israel?
Israel is banking on cannabis as its next big industry
They could be right- tourism is big money on the eastern Med.
Hard evidence of the GOP's slow motion coup to ensure their extremist minority rule and subversion of our democracy is revealed
It's never enough for them. The Grumpy Old Poops are about to go just that much too far– again;
and it doesn’t make me sad

Is it just me or was Twitler slightly-more-unhinged this morning than usual? BTW, I think Grandma Nancy is playing this beautifully. Keep him talking…
Straight from the expert on dirty, filthy, disgusting words, ladies and gentlemen:
Trump on impeachment: 'It's a dirty, filthy, disgusting word'
It's not just you. He did seem slightly more unhinged than usual. And I think Nancy is now timesharing space inside his head with Joe and Hillary.
And so Twitler's next distraction/sideshow to deflect from Mueller news is to threaten Mexico with yet more tariffs to, well, just because he's a bully that needs a distraction from his own bad news.
American consumers love tax increases, as long as they are called tax cuts or punitive tariffs
Given our #StableGenius thinks tariffs are overflowing our Treasury (and probably thinks it's fixing this problem) just who can we tariff when he has the next meltdown?
Well, good question.
A Willie Sutton problem deserves a Willie Sutton solution.
Deutsche Bank, Oleg Deripaksa, Mossak Fonseca, anyone who buys and then sells a worthless Trump property for inflated values to launder money, oh… money launderers.
You know – guys with all the money
There's a crowd fighting over space inside his rotting head – don't forget the spirit of John McCain tortures him every single day. And of course the "conflicted" Mueller is in there, quietly driving #TrumpsterFire insane.
Michigan's governor showing how a real leader gets
histheir people to rise to the challenge. Where's Polis?Hold my beer…
Her people.
I gendered the neutral "leader" in the masculine, out of habit. I moved to the compromise pronoun.
Happy birthday, pedo viejo. Long may you 'splain the stank.
Es lebe der alte Furz!
Ich, auch.
Gr acis, la Professora!
