Dense Donnie's disastrous diversion

by Liberal Librarian

snip

Now, of course, telling people to return to their country of origin is an old nativist trope. But now it’s being uttered by the supposed president. He’s engaging in the lowest of racist demagoguery. And it’s being noticed.

In trying to divert attention from his troubles, Trump opened up a can of worms he can no longer put back. The Epstein news was bad for him; he deflected from it by doing something even worse. Democrats, who were sniping at each other, are now unified in confronting Trump’s blatant, sledgehammer racism. The kerfuffle of last week has been forgotten. The House is about to pass a resolution condemning Trump. This will be a dry run for impeachment proceedings, when they happen.



Trump’s rage may have been calculated at the beginning. But now it’s spiraled out of control, as he loses control of the narrative. Now he’s nothing but a vile racist, publicly declaring it even as he swears his tweets aren’t racist. The media is not playing his game, using the strongest language it has used during his regime.

This diversion has been an unmitigated disaster. What may have begun as an attempt to give his base red meat, it has backfired spectacularly. People who were on the fence, for whatever reasons, are now disgusted by what comes out of the People’s House. His miscreance and evil can no longer be tolerated.

We may just have crossed a Rubicon. We’ll see where the road leads.

Life of a Henchman: Sore Winner Brian Kemp Sics Georgia Ethics Commissioner on Stacey Abrams

snip

You wouldn’t know it if you asked almost any voting-age black person in the state of Georgia, but Stacey Abrams actually isn’t governor. While everyone from local politicians, journalists and even presidential candidates like Cory Booker and Beto O’Rourke have said that Abrams was robbed of her keys to the governor’s mansion, Gov. Brian Kemp now sits upon the Iron Throne in Georgia. You would think that serving as secretary of state and presiding over his own “election” as governor would be enough for Kemp. But you would be wrong. Brian Kemp is an insecure direct-to-DVD-level villain living in fear of the rightful owner of the crown that’s too big for his cowardly shoulders.


Stacey Abrams is still out there, fomenting rebellion through her Fair Fight Action Pac, raising more money than Kemp, filing successful lawsuits against his corrupt regime, and generally being more popular than him despite “losing” the election. So what is Brian Kemp to do? He sends his most loyal and clumsy henchman after her.

Enter David Emadi.

David Emadi is the perfect henchmen for a glorified overachieving desk clerk like Brian Kemp. He donated to Kemp’s campaign, endorsed him during the primary, was an officer in the Douglas County Republican Party and lacks any true ambition or redeemable political skills in his own right. The perfect henchmen.

This past March, Kemp made Emadi the director of Georgia’s Ethics Commission, which is charged with looking into politicians and elections in the state of Georgia. Did David Emadi decide to investigate Brian Kemp for hiring a private company to count the votes for his own primary and general election? No. Did he look into the mysterious voter purges by then-Secretary of State Brian Kemp? No. Did he look into why Georgia’s new secretary of state has failed to properly investigate a wiped server of voter data? Not at all! Emadi’s first move as director was to subpoena every single check stub, memo, and email from the Abrams for Governor campaign in 2018. It’s a ridiculously burdensome request meant to punish and intimidate Abrams. You can almost see Brian Kemp with a Dr. Evil pinky to his lip demanding “ONE MILLION EMAILS!” and Emadi in a white jumpsuit scurrying into the streets of Atlanta to do his boss’ bidding.

.............................

Gonna tell you right here and now, Stacey Abrams is one of the brightest shining stars of 2018 and she sure as hell is not stopping now. She will be the face of our future. She is bright and in the words of Maya Angelou:

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
’Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops,
Weakened by my soulful cries?

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
’Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin’ in my own backyard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I’ll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history’s shame
I rise
Up from a past that’s rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.

Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that’s wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

Live from the Obama White House. Women Of Soul - Proud Mary



A little bit of soul can touch your heart. The Obama's touched mine, ours.

Beauty. Grace. Heart. Soul. Laughter and Love. We got our grove back.

Best President of my lifetime and doubt I will see another.

This is what we need in our next President to lead us out of the darkness.

I will do this as a precaution. We had to do it always when we were in our group. Sad it had to be done on a Democratic board.

****Warning**** This is Posted in The Barack Obama Group. We are a Group and not a Forum. Negative comments? Take them to GD.

To the BOG.

Deceiving the Public

This is not being treated well and you’re a terrible liar.

You were right there as they said “No shower, no shower!”

It wasn’t just CNN—Multiple reporters & news agencies reported they hadn’t showered in 20 days. They’re in cages.

This is not being treated well and you’re a terrible liar.


And here is Mike with his starched shirt and suit jacket, probably has half a jar of vicks smeared under his nose to relieve the insult to his sensibilities of the stench from their unwashed bodies. Just look at his body language. Unfucking believable.

Has the immigrant wife of the impostor in chief been there yet? You know the one, she came here illegally, had an anchor child then brought her parents here under chained migration.

If and when she does I will betcha she will be wearing her 'I don't give a shit jacket' and telling them all to be best in her 1K stilettos.

I cry for our humanity.

Oh. My. Gawd.

Sadly, I can see him awarding himself a medal. From the picture it is hard to tell which one he bestows on himself. Valor? Honor?

The only metal he deserves is a cage, with bars to house him for the rest of his useless, evil life. We have only touched on the Epstein connection. The tentacles run deep. When a man tells you on National TV that he lusts for his 13 year old child, you can believe his word. He is a pedophile. He is in this up to his fat neck.

Stay Angry

snip




This is a party that has no morals and they make no apologies for it. They support their White supremacist Congressman from Iowa. They support their Alabama senate nominee who was a known sexual predator. They support the nomination of an unethical man to the highest court in the land. Ethics be damned with the modern Republican Party. All that matters in staying in power.

Knowing this, knowing what we’re dealing with, means we’re in the fight for our lives. Norms are out the window. Scandals that would have otherwise crippled any Democratic administration are now out of the news cycle in a single day. Republican candidate for office caught having an affair? Fess up, apologize, find Jesus, and get your endorsement from the state party. From top to bottom, this Republican Party is rotten and they don’t care who knows it. The Party of Family Values only cares about your family if they’re rich and White. Other than that and you’re on your own.


So we fight like motherfuckers. We don’t sling mud but we sure as hell don’t let Republicans stomp all over us. We call out their bigotry in public places. We counter misinformation online. And we work like hell over the next 16 months. I’m talking work like we’ve never worked before. Talk to our friends and family. Talk to our mailman and barber and dentist and podiatrist. Make sure they know about local, state, and national elections. Make sure they’re registered to vote. Make sure our children are registered to vote. Make sure our neighbors are registered to vote. Find our people and get them involved. Talk to the local senior center to make sure they have rides to the polls. Talk to your local Democratic offices and make sure people know about early voting. Start all of this NOW so that when November of 2020 hits, we move out like the 70 million person army we need to be to crush these assholes.

Because make no mistake. The Republican Party will go lower. Their evil knows no bounds. They continue to protect their own and target who they perceive to be as the weak. It’s a slow march toward genocide that can only be stopped by us, the people. And it can only be stopped if we stay angry, pissed off, and motivated over the next 16 months. There are more sick fucks like Jeffrey Epstein out there, being protected by Republicans. We may or may not hear about them. But unless we remove this administration in 2020, we sure as hell won’t be able to shine the sunlight on them to disinfect them from the American political landscape. Remember how you’re feeling today, July 9th, and channel that anger into positive energy these next 16 months. Because that anger you feel today will be magnified exponentially on November 3rd, 2020 if this administration is allowed to continue in office for another 4 years.

Stop with the my candidate or else. I have a preferred candidate. Fact is come the primary I will vote for the one that is leading in the polls no matter who I prefer if I think they have a better shot. I want to win this because fact is we will not survive trump for another four years.

I was told back in 2016 after the election that it was okay. It won't be that bad, we can do this. It is only 4 years. Guess some had no care of the repercussions or the collateral damage. Our world standing. Embracing dictators that murder journalists and their own people. Embracing white supremacy. LGBTQ, forgotten. Native Americans, all POC, forgotten. Children in cages because of the color of their skin. Our environmental protections taken away. Then there are the women. The women that birthed every person in this nation, stripped of every right over their own bodies.

Leave your issues and your purity and your primary challenges behind. Get the hell out and vote and if you decide to do a protest vote in 2020 like you did in 2016? Then in fact you are the problem and have no voice in our future because fact is you threw it away.

Vote Democratic.

You must remember this... a kiss is still a kiss...












What a joy to have had this President and First Lady grace our White House and serve all the people of this nation with honor and respect.

Thank you.



You must remember this
A kiss is still a kiss
A sigh is just a sigh
The fundamental things apply
As time goes by

Breaking News: First words about Epstein's arrest.

Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton. Bill Clinton.


-26 trips with Epstein.

-He attended Chelsea's wedding.

-He donated to the Clinton Foundation.

-Co-founder of the Clinton Foundation.

-They were friends.

Nary a word about Epstein or Trump. Hair on fire ready to do a remake of Pizzagate. This will be the sequel. Pizzagate2. The hatred of the Clinton's never ends.




This place is unfugging believable.

How times have changed

It has been 243 years since the signing of the Declaration of Independence from Britain. Britain is now seeking independence from the European Union and the United States is cuddling up to dictators and caging children.

The United States of America has become what we broke away from in 1776, a cruel "Christian" nation.




I suggest we all take a break this holiday weekend to celebrate the good that is still America -- our natural wonders, our families, and the Declaration of Independence which is still in effect.

In other words, be as Trump-free as possible. You deserve it.
