It is difficult to believe we have fallen so far the lunatics are running the asylum and we sit back and calmly watch, no I misspoke we don’t watch we actively encourage their bad behavior. These miscreants who call themselves ‘public servants’ crawl and slither along the halls of our most hallowed institutions, where we put them and from their mouths come the most ridiculous, ignorant, self-serving trash talk it is all of our misfortune to hear.
We might as well be watching a game of Dozens in Congress on the floor of Congress.
Those who failed in their bid to join their partners in misbehavior continue to pollute the airwaves with their opinions and ill-conceived notions of where the nation should go next. These reprobates might be the worst as they live vicariously on their past glory days of the campaign trail where idiots worshiped at their podiums and wore buttons with their likeness.
Finally, we have the traffic police, those talking heads who never seem to be without an ugly thought they cannot keep to themselves. Those fools who claim Patriotism and Christianity, bundled up to create their superior positions of moral character (not) and grant them authority to spew their trash across the airwaves.
Combine these malefactors, criminals, liars and what we have is a nation divided and ready to implode. This is no more clearly seen than with recent polling results where two-thirds of Republicans think the President should be impeached for exceeding his powers, cretins. Before I go too far out on a limb though, let’s just stop and take a look shall we?
http://www.presidency.ucsb.edu/data/orders.php
So the question becomes, how exactly has this President exceeded his Executive Authority? Is it because unlike past Presidents this President has done things the nation didn’t approve of, things that didn’t support those in need, things that didn’t move the economy forward or follow the law of the land? I cannot think of how this President has broken any laws, decimated our economy, ignored the Constitution or done harm to those who are most in need. Yes, he has been caught unaware by a few snafus, within a very large government; however, to lay the blame for these at the feet of the President is shows ignorance of management and how government hierarchy functions. It proves also, why we should truly be grateful those who do the most running of their mouths are not in positions of authority.
What should we be considering in all this? Maybe we should take a quick peek at some of what has been taking place lately, some of what some of the cretins have been saying, elected and otherwise.
Shall we start with one of the all-stars of Texas, oh why not Louie Gohmert is nothing if not far too stupid to breathe free air, but there he is a Representative from the great state of TexAss as someone I know and love refers to my home. Louie has been on a roll this month first arguing with a minister on the merits of Hell, “Nobody plus nothing equals everything.” Then moving on to suggesting the influx of children on the Texas border is comparative to the invasion of France during WWII. Yes, Louie is perhaps the stupidest Congressman in the House. Nevertheless, don’t let that stop you for looking for others.
Next up with have that ijit half-term Governor of Alaska, constantly running her mouth, spewing bile and nonsense, yes I am talking about Sarah Palin and yes I called her an ijit. Her most recent diatribe, calling for the impeachment of the President was simply another example of the depths to which these Tea Party puppets will sink to gain the attention their masters and make a dollar. Just think about it, this foolish woman has a PAC, she is stumping for dollars and others just like her.
Darrell Issa
Then we have the tail that wags the dog, my favorite criminal in the house; Darrell Issa. Can anyone please tell me how this man was ever elected, please. Thus far, in his pursuit of bringing the President down he has run up costs of $14,000,000 (yes that is fourteen million dollars) for the IRS scandal witch-hunt. Costs for the Benghazi, has not yet been calculated however with better than 97,000 hours between the Senate, State Department and DoD it is likely to exceed the $14M thus far calculated in costs for the IRS investigation. Both of these by the way, in case you were at all under the illusion there was anything other than a political agenda, have yielded zero, nada, nothing.
Then there is the end run the House and its drunken Speaker are making with this entirely ill-informed Lawsuit. John Boehner knows full well he can’t make a case for Impeachment, he isn’t completely pickled yet, so instead to gin up the base, keep his seat and help those running for re-election (can’t lose another one of his partners in do not a damned thing), he has manufactured the, ‘Let’s sue the President.’ What a completely boner thing to do, guess it fits though. Boehner is suing because the President, to appease Republicans delayed the Employer Mandate and increased the size of the business from 50 to 100 it applied to; this is the backbone of the lawsuit. There is a small and ‘inconsequential’ issue call standing, these ijits in Congress may or may not be able to get around depending on the mood of SCOTUS. Knowing those blowhard political hacks though, they may well throw out their own ruling in United States vs. Windsor. This should be a good one.
Finally yet importantly, want a real cover up? These slithering snakes within Congress and their 148 ‘Jobs’ Bills they have passed and sent to the Senate for action, well it took a bit of digging but I found them. I read the entire list, I wanted to know what they were, wanted to know what this Congress had been up to besides not a damned thing and trying to repeal the ACA. I assure you, this list will rattle your brains and hopefully make you want to shake your local GOP member till their teeth fall out.

These are just a few of my favorites; you know just a selection from the best and brightest our nation has to offer. I have my own opinion of what is wrong; Nero fiddles while the nation burns.
LBJ said it best when he said the following:
I have only one thing to say, want a different world? Want a different nation? Want a different outcome? You have only one opportunity to change this, to fix what is broken in Washington and across this nation. Come November get up, stand up and march your happy Azzes to the polls. Don’t be fooled, don’t let others tell you what the outcome will be, don’t be apathetic. VOTE.

Republicans always want to go back to “the good ol’ days” when nobody was equal and social programs were nothing more than a pipe dream.
Yes, yes they do. They don’t remember many of them would have been paying more than 50% in taxes. They are ijits.
Another informative posting that hopefully one that
will encourage voters to vote, after all it is not a hard
task is it?
Now off your asses and get to the polls, or else?
Andro xxxx
Yes, it is vital. If good people don’t vote bad people own the outcomes.
That is very true my sweet friend,
let us hope that peeps get off their
derriere’s this time and VOTE 🙂
Have a wonderful
day my lovely friend 🙂
Andro xxxx
I am glad you had a push Val and put your thoughts into words.. Always your words hit home at the points that need to be addressed.. While I do not pretend to understand Half of your politics, I understand Rights from Wrongs..
I do believe in the not too distant future Val we will be seeing more exposure of corruption and cover ups along with vested interests that our political figures keep their fingers in pies with.. Its rife all over the world.. But its good people are waking up and also getting off their Butts to bring awareness to those who seem to float in cloud land..
Bless you Val, for being YOU.. xox
Hugs Sue
I wish I had your faith Sue, while some think I live in ‘hopeland’, my desire that others would get up, stand up and fight for what is right is diminishing daily. I am more and more losing my faith in humanity. I wish this weren’t true.
I think it is why I haven’t been writing as much, it simply feels so pointless.
Val
Val, Never ever think your writing is pointless.. I could say the same.. within my hope for a more harmonic world of peace. Especially with all that is going on right now..
But our THOUGHTS DO make a difference Val Like attracts like .. So we can not give up.. Keep keeping on my good friend…. Lets keep putting our thoughts into the Matrix… what goes around comes around do not forget.. xxx Hugs
Wow, he ran up 14 million dollars? That breaks my heart thinking about the people who could really use that money… Thanks Val for bringing your valuable opinions to the table here.
Keep up the good work!!
Hope you feel better after writing this because it’s easy high blood pressure during the writing process. Then again, are people like Issa and Palin worth so much time and energy?
Meanwhile, Speaker Boehner wrote this editorial in our paper today. http://www.cincinnati.com/story/opinion/contributors/2014/07/14/boehner-op-ed-obama-trampling-constitution/12633603/
Hang in there!
I don’t feel better Frank, I am frustrated with our government and with our highest court. I am frustrated when I look at the 148 ‘Jobs’ bills and realize not a single one is in fact a ‘jobs’ bill. I am frustrated this Congress has done nothing but stand in the way for 5 long years.
I am frustrated because if they would just move an inch maybe we could get something done.
Can you imagine what it would be like (in this climate) if the Republicans controlled the House, Senate, and the White House?
No, Frank I cannot imagine but if people don’t get up off their apathetic azzes this coming November I am afraid we might find out.
Yup. Nailed it.
VOTE!
Yes, it is at the end of the day the results we need. Vote
I’m glad Sarah Palin has a SuperPAC. The more money she sucks into this black hole of “I’m seriously considering thinking about researching the possibility of running”, the less is left for others.
This is a very good point, I hadn’t considered it. Thank you for pointing out the obvious.
Thanks Val. This was well done. I’d love to see you do more about the Democratic Party weakness of not getting out the vote during the mid-years. I do think the fact that Democratic Party has a hard time getting voters out during off years (non-presidential elections) is really disturbing. All politics are local (that’s the strategy that the Tea Party has discovered, which is partially why they have been able to do so much damage), and when people refuse to show up to vote, that is really horrific. No election should be missed–no ballot should be ignored.
I truly should work on this one, you are so correct all politics are local and the issue of the getting out the vote is critical and will be even more so come November.
Since lately it has required a foot in my personal and proverbial Azz to write I will add your foot to another’s and work on this one.

Well, I had not considered this, however I believe you are correct. Thank you.
I love that LBL quote – he nailed it.
I love it also, he did nail it. It was true then it remains true today. It is unfortunate.
OMG, this makes me so mad, especially when you compare it to Bush’s record. My how easy it was for them to turn a blind eye and if you ask me, what Bush did was a THOUSAND TIMES worse! Make that infinitely worse! He took us into a needless war!! Now that’s grounds for impeachment. Repubs are nasty, nasty folk. They tried to take down Clinton for having an affair. Sure that was bad but not impeachable worthy. Why don’t they friggin’ admit that the REAL reason they want to impeach–and sue–President Obama is because he’s African American. They can’t stand to see someone of color in the White House, plain and simple. And, while I’m at it, I’m sure I’ve told you how much I hate Issa. He’s from these parts. I’ve met him. I knew he was bad news but didn’t realize just how bad until Obama became president. It’s like the more evil he is, the more oxygen he gets, and if he’d stop to be a decent man, he’d die. He thrives on being a good for nothing jerk.
Good Morning Monica, It makes me angry as well. The facts don’t lie, but then the facts don’t dance out of the closet all too often either. It is an impossible situation currently. Clinton was chased throughout his administration, he was impeached for lying to Congress about a BJ in the Oval Office. President Obama has been without a blemish, so they have attached to him everything they can manufacture. They will never admit the real reason, but anyone with an eye to see knows.

I can add absolutely nothing to this to strengthen the argument. It is perfect just as it stands.
This made me laugh and laugh and laugh… 114. H.R.2655 : Lawsuit Abuse Reduction Act of 2013
They cannot pass what they want so they sue. Bwahahahahahaha!
It is a terrible and wasteful world we have today. There are far to many idiots populating the world of politics. You and I should run for office.
Sweet! We would make pretty campaign buttons 🙂

Thanks Horty, thank you also for the reblog.
This one was great!! Good job … 🙂
It has been bubbling in the back of my brain. Someone finally put their foot in my butt and told me to write tonight so, well I did. Sometimes I need a slight push.

You did good!! 😎
Reblogged this on The ObamaCrat™.
Thank you My….
The one basic reason for anti-Obamaism is never mentioned because it is such a glaring discrimination.
Oh, I mention it. I regularly mention it. Racism is glaring and rampant.
I’m glad to hear you do mention it. He never had a chance from the beginning.
