The Beginning of the End for POTUS 45

Again, Lydia nails it.

Today, FBI Director James Comey before the House Intelligence Committee confirmed an investigation into President Trump’s ties to Russia.

Comedy said:

“I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI is investigating Russia’s interference in the US election, which includes whether there was any coordination between the campaign and Russian efforts. This will also include an assessment of whether any crimes were committed. I can not say more about whose conduct we are investigating.”

Meanwhile on Twitter:

This tweet is disturbing on many levels. If I had to choose what I find most disturbing, it would have to be the fact that more than 54,000 people liked it. This is one of the easiest claims to prove false yet. Who are these 54,000 people?

Just kidding there is no test, just a definition that might help you decide for yourself…or keep clicking.

How I long for days

When our flag flew for freedom.

Now immigrants flee in fear.

Stolen

Moments taken, undulating, slipping through the fingers of my mind. Slowly marking 

Time when all we had was time. Permanent markers. Red and black indelible print on soft

Surfaces. Everyone could see that you belonged to me. Except for you. And her. Thieves.

Four Years After

Yep.

When America first woke up, she didn’t know where she was.

She wobbled upright on the couch, her head spinning, the stink of Old Crow and cheap beer hanging in the air.  “I’ve got to stop having these crazy blackouts,” she thought.

There was the sound of incoherent mumbling nearby.  She gingerly turned her head to look.  Oh, God.  Richard Spencer was passed out next to her, his head back and his mouth open.  Was it possible?  Did she make out with a Nazi last night?

America rubbed her face and tried to remember what the hell happened.  Nightmarish images floated back to her.  The fascist embracing her waist, whispering in her ear.  “I will make you feel like a real woman… you’re not a woman until you’ve been taken by a strong man…”  And she had let him take her, she suspected.

Her living room was torn to pieces.  Trash…

More Golf for Trump, More Funding Cuts for all of U.S.

Maybe trump needs to analyze his spending. He’s flirting with the “let them eat cake” philosophy and we know where that got Marie Antoinette.

This is Trump’s 7th golf weekend in a row. He has been in office 8 weeks. That damn inauguration with the yuge crowds cost him a weekend of leisure.

Each weekend Trump spends at his Mar-a-Lago resort comes at a cost of 3-5 million taxpayer dollars. Add that to the million dollars we spend every week to keep Milania in New York—that’s a lot of something.

Something = Healthcare, Medicare, Medicaid, Meals on Wheels, Arts funding, Veteran Funding, Energy Assistance, Environmental Protection, Agriculture, Commerse, Educational Grants, 62 program cuts in all—that’s a lot of something.

How long until Trump leaves?https://howlonguntiltrumpleaves.com/#.WM64n52MItQ.twitter

Wrinkles

Wisps of fleecy clouds

Do not mar a summer sky

 They define the blue

Gift me with crinkles

Life’s perfect imperfections

Memory’s index


Smile with abandon

Frown without retribution 

Claim each earned wrinkle

Roadblock

I came home from my Saturday morning errands to find this turtle blocking my path. She was in no hurry to let me pass. 

The Struggle is Real

Fresh ideas for blog material are coming to me at the steady pace of molasses in mud, which is to say they’re not coming at all. I know the key here is to just write, regardless of whether anything printable results.

The truth is that my head is in a muddle. Everything I write feels like it’s something I’ve written before. I know I’m not the only one to feel this way. After all one of the original bloggers put it so eloquently:

The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. Ecclesiastes 1:9 KJV

I know how to remedy this situation. A week at an all-inclusive resort ought to do it. I’m sure that’s what the Preacher in the book of Ecclesiastes did–booked himself into an exclusive place in Arizona and enjoyed a nice deep tissue massage and followed it up with a 90 minute facial. Seven days of clean eating and meditation cleared his mind and he was able to finish the book. 

I’m open to sponsorships.
