United States for Sale


Well, it gets much grimmer by the day.

James Comey was nobody's favorite. He pissed off all sides, which was the one thing that kind of held things together. Democrats were afraid of who Trump would put in if they went after Comey. Republicans were afraid of losing their party and power by pushing him out while an investigation was going on.

The one thing that American is now united on is that Donald J Trump is the most incompetent idiot the world has ever seen.

We are on a path to either the destruction of our Democratic processes, or the salvation of them. It's way too soon to see if this will play out as it did with Nixon, but make no mistake: The White House is willing to do whatever it takes to consolidate the power and ability of Trump to function on whatever whim takes him.

One thing is clear from history. The unchecked aggregation of political power by a single individual results in destruction that shakes the world. The world has been full of dictators and their slovenly sycophantic supporters.

Next up is undoubtedly the reopening of the Clinton Email and the perp walk of Hillary Clinton in handcuffs.

"Lock Her Up!,  Lock Her Up!, Lock Her Up!"

We know where Der Fuehrer Trump stands. He made it clear and he tolerates no dissent, no objection to his childish demands to be the only person in the world.

Fascism is on the march. Republicans are in total political control.

We now find out if there are any people of honor and patriotism left in the Republican Party.

Where to start?

So, let's go to the other end of politics, government regulation. Volkswagen has been hit with major fines  for deliberately circumventing emissions testing on their diesel engines. That also constitutes a direct lie to all their customers in order to deceive them into buying their product. Today they added GM to the mix on their Duramax diesel trucks for doing the same. The list also now includes Peugeot, Fiat/Chrysler, Renault, and Mercedes Benz parent compny Daimler. It appears they all cheated. They all cheated in much the same way, So, how does that happen when they are all supposedly independent companies? They all will pay massive fines. They also will probably continue in business into the future. No one goes to jail. Will they cheat again? The time has come to understand that the vast majority of economic crimes result in jail time. Theft, and embezzlement results in individuals being sent to jail. Fraud results in people being sent to jail. Massive systemi...

It's a Hard Life for Republicans

Speaker of the House Paul Ryan People think I'm being disingenuous when I say I feel sorry for Paul Ryan. Not true. How would you like to be Speaker of the House these days? Being Speaker is the pinnacle of a legislative career. You have incredible authority. You can hand out committee assignments and chairmanships. You decide whether bills get a hearing and vote, and a lot of what they contain. You assign office space or take it away and move someone to the basement. It's just that all you really do is herd cats. Ryan can't get a major bill passed, that will make it through the Senate. The Tea Party Caucus is the Doctor No from the old James Bond film. Doctor No was a Chinese/German criminal scientist with metal hands. Somehow, that fits perfectly with the Tea Party Caucus who with their iron grip on legislation pretty much dictates what they want. Of course what they want has no chance of ever getting put into effect. Just look at the Affordable Healthcar...

The last 2 years has made a mess of my mind. I have been absorbed by politics since I hit college back in 1970. Just a few days before my High School graduation in May of 1970, students peacefully protesting the Vietnam War at Kent State University in Ohio were attacked by the Ohio National Guard and four were killed. Students were the soldiers on the front lines at home. Things got very real. I entered college as a Physics major and, like so many, college opened my eyes in a way that I never expected. It was exciting; new. Options abounded around me and I was free to choose my own way. Like today, the news was full of protest, war and a severely divided country under President Nixon. By my sophomore year I had changed majors to Political Science Here we are, some 47 years later and I see a country in much the same position. Nixon now looks pretty good when compared to Donald J. Trump, and my old roomie agrees. And that is a HELL of a thing to say. When Trump announced his ...
