Day 108:
Eric Trump Is Just As Stupid As His Father:
The Trump family is profoundly stupid. Both in a political sense, and in an IQ test sense. They don’t understand when to keep quiet, when to appear humble, and they certainly don’t know anything about “the little people.” Case in point, Eric Trump told golf magazines in 2014 that they get a bunch of funding from Russia. Presumably Trump knew he was going to be running for office then, or was at least thinking about it…he must have known this would come up.
Or perhaps he really didn’t and he didn’t bother telling his kids not to say anything about it. Maybe running for office was a last minute thing for him, it certainly seemed like it. Either way fucking stupid.

Trump Care Is The Turd In The Republican Punch Bowl:
Trumpcare, is not a health care bill, it is a giant tax cut for the rich. To pay for that tax cut they want to take away health care murder the poor. Its a bad plan, made worse, its also political suicide…one has to wonder what sort of bribe/threat their must be over these idiots heads who voted for it. The bribe part is easy, endless corporate lobbyist money flows into these idiots coffers, perhaps also the promise of jobs in the industry after.
But what is the long game? Its going to piss so many people off that they are going to vote in lefty progressives and then we are going to get medicare for all (or at least that is what should happen). Do they have a backup plan for that? Is it just hubris, do they think they have the game so rigged that the will of the people no longer matter? Do they have naked pictures of all these congress people? I don’t know, but what I do know is this is going to kill many people. Taking away peoples health care leads to death, its that simple.

Hillary Clinton Can’t Re-Write History:
Seriously she lost to the most unpopular person to ever run for president. She did suffer from misogynistic attacks, she was piled on by everyone, but she should have had a walk off victory against a monster like Trump.
Frankly she was just too flawed, she took too much corporate money, was too supportive of wars, had middle of the road (or right wing) policies, did some shady shit to screw over Bernie, and when it came out didn’t do anything to heal the rift. She set up a private email server, got caught cheating, didn’t campaign in the rust belt states, and had no message other than “I am not Trump.”
She is the perfect representation of corporate democrats and how bad they represent the people. All she had to do was copy Bernie’s message, take him or Warren on as VP, and we would have the first women president. Instead she ran as a friend of wall street, with middle of the road or right policy, and Trump is president.
