Don't Call Her Now

See No Evil

I want to address this to all of you who voted for Donald Trump....I promise this won't be a long post...I only ask for a little bit of your time....

See, I would like to believe that all of you aren't racist, ignorant trolls....I know that some of his supporters are, but I don't think all of you are....

Some of you really believed that he could end the congressional gridlock that has plauged Washington D.C. for the past eight years...

Some of you really believed that by him being an outsider and not a politician...but a buisnessman...He might actually run this country better...

That remains to be seen....I'm betting that he won't run this country better at all...

Did you hear him when he said he'd "drain the swamp?"  Do you see how all of his cabinet appointments are wealthy businessmen who have no experience at the jobs they have been appointed to do...?

During the campaign did it not bother you that his entire platform was set up to bully and malign the most defenseless people...Immigrants, Muslim and Christian refugees from war torn Syria...??  That he's now detaining and attempting to send back immigrants from muslim countries EXCEPT the ones that he has business interests in...You didn't see that did you?

Maybe you don't care....You're not an immigrant and you're not a Muslim.

Did you see and did you hear him mock a reporter with a disability?  You didn't see that either??

Did you not see Black men and women , beaten and thrown out of his rallies by his rowdy racist supporters, sometimes being egged on by him...No? You didn't see that and that didn't bother you?? Hmmmm,okay...

Okay and 12 women came forth and accused him of inappropriately groping and kissing them and you thought nothing of that...Yet , when women accused Bill Cosby of drugging and raping them, it was okay to persecute him with no proof...and practically destroy his legacy....yet your candidate for president said in his own words on tape that he likes to "grab em by the pussy and kiss em because when you're a star or famous, they let you do that!"  That came out of his own mouth....but you didn't hear that, right?

Did it not bother you that he hasn't shown his tax return s yet and every other president, Democratic or Republican has done this?

It doesn't bother you that he hasn't paid any taxes in 18 years because of a  loss of nearly a billion dollars...Yet you still think he's a good businessman, despite a slew of bankruptcies..Hmmmm....

And it doesn't worry you that he paid a huge settlement for his fake university soon after his election?

No?  I don't think any other presidential candidate ,regardless of party could have gotten away with this much and still gotten elected...It boggles my mind..

If you didn't see the evil, hear the evil or acknowledge the evil...none of which I've made up.....Then maybe Hillary Clinton was right...You are deplorable and a hypocrite of the highest order!

MISS ME WITH YOUR FAKE OUTRAGE!

A trucker who has been out on the road for two months stops at a brothel outside Atlanta.


He walks straight up to the Madam, drops down $500 and says, "I want your ugliest woman and a grilled cheese sandwich!"


The Madam is astonished, she says "But sir, for that kind of money you could have one of my prettiest ladies and a three-course meal."


 The trucker replies, "Listen darlin, I’m not horny – I’m just homesick."




Have the best weekend you possibly can!

After All,It's Only Fair

Our New President

Is Donald Trump the most paranoid and repressive President since Richard Nixon?

Let's Rally When It Counts!

The Huge Women's Protest March this weekend in D.C. and around the nation and the world against the Trump agenda was great, but it didn't change one thing...The man signed three Executive Orders yesterday....Let's do as the sign says...Rally this hard and with this much fervor at the polls next year during the mid-term elections...That will get their attention, when they're out of office!

Tomorrow

Republican Jesus

I'm going to call these clowns out every chance I get.....I have no sympathy in my heart for someone who kicks a man when he's down and then has the nerve, the audacity to criticize that man because he can't take the weight of your foot..Shame on you Republicans...Shame on you for trying to gut the Affordable Care Act, CHIP, Planned Parenthood and Medicare.

Draining The Swamp ???

If You Want To Honor Dr. King

If you really want to honor Dr. King today....Stand up for something he would've stood up for if he were alive today...

Affordable and Just Healthcare for all...Not just the wealthy and well heeled(Who have great health care plans by the way...but don't want you and I to have it.)

For those worried about Afordable Care Act coverage for themselves and their families.
After hearing about the midnight repeal of the pre-existing conditions clause, I called Senator Warren's office.

The woman I spoke to said they are being flooded with calls, as are the offices of Speakers Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell.

Senator Warren's staff member told me what would help the most would be to call the five Republican senators who have broken away from the GOP to demand a slow down of the repeal. Tell them how much you appreciate their efforts to stop the train wreck and share your story.
Call these people-

  They are:
Senator Bob Corker - (202) 224-3344
Senator Lisa Murkowski - (202) 224-6665
Senator Rob Portman - (202) 224-3353
Senator Susan Collins - (202) 224-2523
Senator Bill Cassidy - (202) 224-5824

Dr. King would do this! Today!

Southside With You

Decidedly Unfunny

I usually write the weekend humor column or blog post on Friday mornings...but what happened while everybody was asleep the past few nights was decidedly unfunny...


While you were sleeping the past few nights, the Republican Senate voted against providing coverage for pre existing conditions, contraceptive and maternity coverage and against allowing kids to stay on their parents insurance until the age of 26. This would be ok if there was another plan in place but there isn't! Just cut it and have nothing. That makes a lot of sense. Congratulations.. These are the people you voted for...or didn't vote for, thus voting for them anyway.


Wednesday night began cute, with folks talking about "Vote-a-Rama" with the Senate sitting in session well into Thursday morning, and rookie Republican Senator Todd Young sending snack food to the press gallery. It gradually became less cute as the night became the morning. The Democratic minority kept offering amendment after amendment, all of which failed by the narrow margin by which the Republicans control the Senate.

Then, around one o'clock in the morning, the actual mugging occurred, and millions of Americans awoke to the news that their newly acquired healthcare—and the newly acquired peace of mind that came with it—was going up in smoke.

The key moment came at about one in the morning when Bob Corker, Republican of Tennessee, withdrew his amendment that would have pushed the process of repealing the Affordable Care Act back to the beginning of March.

Defenders of the law had set great store by the Corker amendment, which seemed to indicate that the Republican majority was both a) afraid to stand the gaff that will come when people lose their healthcare, and b) realizing that repealing the ACA without a viable replacement would cause actual chaos.


That unicorn died in the dead of night.

The Republican congressional majorities want this law dead because they have a theological belief that this is not the job of government. They want what they want when they want it, and they have the power to get it and the towering gall to get it done by any means necessary. The president-elect doesn't know enough about the subject to throw to a cat. So there we are.


The final vote, which ended just before 1:30 a.m., followed a marathon session in which senators took back-to-back roll call votes on numerous amendments, an arduous exercise known as a vote-a-rama. The approval of the budget blueprint, coming even before President-elect Donald J. Trump is inaugurated, shows the speed with which Republican leaders are moving to fulfill their promise to repeal President Obama's signature domestic policy achievement — a goal they believe can now be accomplished after Mr. Trump's election.


The action by the Senate is essentially procedural, setting the stage for a special kind of legislation called a reconciliation bill. Such a bill can be used to repeal significant parts of the health law and, critically, is immune from being filibustered. Congress appears to be at least weeks away from voting on legislation repealing the law.




But don't worry. Help is on the way. Pay your doctor with cheesy metaphors. And, as the Reverend Ike used to say, pie in the sky by and by when you die.


"The Obamacare bridge is collapsing, and we're sending in a rescue team," said Senator Michael B. Enzi, Republican of Wyoming and the chairman of the Senate Budget Committee. "Then we'll build new bridges to better health care, and finally, when these new bridges are finished, we'll close the old bridge." Republican leaders say they will work closely with Mr. Trump developing legislation to repeal and replace the health care law, but it is unclear exactly how his team will participate in that effort.


The amendments proposed by the Democrats and defeated by the Republicans were designed to put the majority on the wrong side of the most popular aspects of the law. It was really all they had left, but, in six months, when all those people who voted for the president-elect secure in the knowledge that he'd never do what he promised to do, discover that their pre-existing conditions suddenly matter again, the odds are that they will blame themselves or The Government or liberals or Barack Obama and nobody will remember how the mugging happened, and the rain will wash away the chalk outline of the victim from the sidewalk. And the death of the Affordable Care Act will become a cold case, an unsolved mystery mouldering in a pauper's grave.

People don't understand the Affordable Care Act...They don't understand how they got their health insurance...but they'll damn sure know who took it from them!

Weekend Humor

A young doctor had moved out to a small community to replace a doctor who was retiring.

The older gent suggested the young one accompany him on his rounds so the community could become used to a new doctor.

At the first house a woman complained, "I've been a little sick to my stomach."
 
The older doctor said, "Well, you've probably been overdoing the fresh fruit. Why not cut back on the amount you've been eating and see if that does the trick?"
 
As they left the younger man said, "You didn't even examine that woman. How'd you come to your diagnosis so quickly?"
 
"I didn't have to. You noticed I dropped my stethoscope on the floor in there? When I bent over to pick it up, I noticed a half dozen banana peels in the trash. That was what was probably making her sick."
 
"Huh," the younger doctor said, "Pretty clever. I think I'll try that at the next house."
 
Arriving at the next house, they spent several minutes talking with a shapely and very attractive young woman. She complained that she just didn't have the energy she once did. "I'm feeling terribly run down lately."she said.

 
" You're way too young to be feeling so run down...You've probably been doing too much work for the church," the younger doctor told her. "Perhaps you should cut back a bit and see if that helps."
 
As they left, the elder doc said, "Your diagnosis is almost certainly correct, but how did you arrive at it?" He asked.

"Well, just like you at the last house, I dropped my stethoscope. When I bent down to retrieve it, I noticed the preacher under the bed."

Everybody have a great weekend!
