Four years ago, Louisianians elected a Democratic governor. In a land where people consistently shoot themselves in the foot with their votes for pro-business, anti-human Republicans, this was no small victory.
John Bel Edwards inherited a real financial disaster from Bobbie Jindal (and Eddie Rispone by default) and managed to turn a huge deficit into a surplus in just four years.
He's not my favorite candidate. He oppresses women's reproductive rights. He fails to keep church and state separated and he hasn't, thus far, forced the many oil company interests that thrive here to pay their fair share of taxes. The infrastructure is failing here, but it has not been addressed in any significant way.
Still, someone like Eddie Rispone, who swears that he'll turn this state back 150 years the minute his hand comes off the Bible, is a poor choice by comparison.
I don't know why John Bel Edwards won four years ago. I would like to believe that at least some percentage of Louisianians actually did some research and figured out he was the best candidate. He was. He still is.
But this is a state mired in lack of education and incompetence ---- and it starts at the top with politicians neck deep in a rhetoric that is neither progressive or beneficial. John Bel Edwards was a breath of fresh air in a state that stinks of political ignorance.
I will vote for him again. I hope the rest of the state does too.

Seriously ---- Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States.
I've been around for awhile.
I remember Nixon and the Watergate Scandal that led to his impeachment and removal from office. I remember his head shaking, and his "I'm not a crook" speech.
During the Nixon impeachment, I was a busy mom with two under two. I didn't pay as close attention to the process as I'm able to now.
This impeachment is stunning in its audacity that the President of the United State would engage in the corrupt, criminal behavior, consort with our enemies while snubbing our allies, and then stand before the American Public and complain that the Democrats were "lynching" him.
Here's the thing about Donald Trump.
He's a lying thief.
He's not at all a smart thief.
He surrounds himself with thieves just like him.
His rallies (what president EVER held rallies during their terms?) are full of ignorant people.. Presidents are generally too busy paying attention to matters of state to hold a pep rally. Pep Rallies are for high school football games. Donald J. Trump is operating, at best, at a high school level. A freshman level, at that.
What I'm enjoying about this bastard, big A$$ed, boring Blowhard is watching him unravel under the scrutiny of the House of Representatives and the American Media.
The lies are so easily exposed at this point, but he keeps repeating them because he doesn't have the intelligence not to.
His arrogance is so very transparent now.......it's sole purpose to cover up an empty vessel of a man.....and even "man" is too good a term for this frothing, filthy parasite in the White House.
Yes, watching this goddamned atrocity of a human being go down in history as the Biggest Fool Who Ever Set Foot in Washington is gratifying indeed. If he wasn't so f*cking disgusting and tragic, I'd go out and celebrate his demise. But the day I raise a glass to Donald Trump will NEVER happen.
I am on the threshold of watching democracy take back our country and remove this menace.
Donald J. Trump and his morally bankrupt children are OVER. May they all receive lengthy prison sentences.

Donald J. Trump's Karma
Despite his teeny, tiny, hands, Donald Trump's are covered in blood.
I cannot believe this person is in power. He's not a loose cannon, he's a mis-launched nuclear warhead.
I certainly hope our generals have a procedure for taking him down when he decides, as King of the World, to blow something up.
This man is a menace to all societies, to all humankind.
The kindest thing would be to have him committed to a psychiatric hospital, and family members could easily do this.
Please, Melania, make your worthless turn as First Lady count for something. Be best and commit this very dangerous person.

Oh Donny Boy ---- The Jig is Up
Donald Trump needs to understand that his legacy, his presidency, his tomfoolery and his buffoonery is at an end.
This is the trouble with narcissists. They never get how over they are for years and years after their demises. The delusional world they live in never intrudes on reality, and reality never intrudes on their delusion.
I guess I'll be happy to see the FBI drag him out of the White House in handcuffs. But he'll even spin that and make himself a martyr. These are the things Donald J. Trump can be counted on. His complete mockery of the presidential seal. His complete disdain and intolerance for the branches of government that would keep him in check. His cozy relations with dictators and despots. His utter betrayal and treason of the United States of America. And his very fat a$$ along with his worse than ugly, piss-colored hair.
Donald's head has been in the toilet, at full flush, for awhile now. Put the man at rest in his 5th Avenue apartment for a few months. Then, just when he's got comfortable with the disgusting pile of Shit he turned America into and got away with, just when he thinks he can get a book deal and make millions, just when his King Feces touch can find nothing else to ruin,
lock his stupid a$$ in a prison cell.

Moving Past Incompetence into Utter Insanity
Trump just handed Syria to the Russians.
Just how far up Trump's a$$ does Putin's hand need to be before the clueless republican base that elected this f*cking moron gets the fact that Donald J. (for Jack-off) Trump is incompetent, inconsistent and insane.
For F*ck's sake, even Hitler's generals (blood thisty as they were) knew when the f*cking jig was up.

The Sad State of Republican Voters
I'm amazed at how dug in Republican voters can be when it comes to their Messiah, Donald Trump.
Trump was right --- with certain groups, he could shoot someone in the middle of 5th Avenue and get away with it.
But not all groups.
It is not my job to change republican minds. In my opinion, their minds simply aren't worth the effort.
There is a dug in, solidly entrenched group of people in this country who want to revert to the America of 1850.
They want people of color to know their place.
They want women to understand their subservient role.
They want to regulate a woman's uterus, but not the concepts that would guarantee clean air, water and soil.
They want gun rights and FUCK YOU if you think you have the right to live in a society where you won't get shot. Your rights don't matter over my right to bear arms.
This is the trouble with republicans, but it will also be their lasting and complete downfall.
We all have rights. We need to figure out the priority of those rights.
Republicans fail to see that, and they fail to enact that.
I am not at all sad to see the Republican Party lose. This backwoods, typically Southern way of thinking has been around since the Confederacy lost the Civil War. And there is no place for it in today's complicated world.
Republicans are simpletons. That will be their demise.

Chopper Talk
Trump's White House is so cowardly.
No press conferences are held.
Speeches by his royal a$$ness are given rarely, and they are so befuddled, no one can figure out the content.
The Trump in the Dump seems oddly (and only) comfortable with the whir of helicopter rotors spinning in the background.
Perhaps that noise will mask his lies (in his mind)?
Perhaps he can use that noise to say we misunderstood him, or he didn't properly hear the question.
Or perhaps those chopper blades make him feel so grand --- he's the president, getting on his chopper to take a trip to the VA Hospital to hand out purple hearts. He's important --- can't you hear the chopper? Watch him salute the chopper Marine ---- as if he's practiced in front of the mirror for hours getting that right. (Since he gets so little else right, I suppose we must give credit where credit is due.)
It's a cowardly act, only talking in front of a whirring rotor. It's designed to make you think he's important, and you are not. WATCH ME SALUTE!!!! I AM THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF!!!!
Donald Trump is the worst president the United States has ever witnessed. And it is an absolute JOY witnessing his ultimate and thorough comeuppance.

Will The Real Whistle Blower Please Stand Up
Obviously, the intelligence community whistle blower is going to testify to Donald Trump's extortion attempts on the new leader of Ukraine, asking him to come up with dirt on Joe Biden. This information was sought to help Trump's own campaign.
Side Note: Trump's campaign is already lost. He screwed the farmers. He screwed the middle class. And, ultimately, he screwed himself. Apparently, he likes all these alternative screwing methods because he is unable to attract a female anymore. The man has too much narcissism to understand leadership, much less partake in it.
But, the next few days should be VERY INTERESTING. Another whistle blower is on the horizon - this one armed with Deutsche Bank financial records.
I'm going to surmise that these financial records will show Donald J. Trump, the self-proclaimed genius businessman and billionaire, is deeply indebted to Russia and Saudi Arabia, two nations who have graciously (?) stepped in to cover Donald's broke a$$. In exchange for what?
This is why Donald J. Trump is hiding his tax returns and proclaiming "foul" whenever his financial records are demanded.
Donald Trump is being unmasked. Once that mask comes off, there's no putting it back on.
Only a lunatic would think there is anything to hold onto here. We all know he's over. But because he's been riding this money train for almost three years now, he's dug in. I do believe the military will have to physically remove him from office.
We can only hope they do so before he nukes another country in a fit of pique ---- which is the only thing that does fit on this monstrosity of a man.
