Yes, the Russia Probe Began With Donald Trump

Last updated on: March 23, 2019 at 10:18 pm By Susan Wright

With everyone simmering over the news of the end to special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, and the back and forth of what to expect next, no one is surprised that the social media chatter has been insane. Frankly, I’m not surprised that federal authorities have not descended on Donald Trump’s Mar-A-Lago estate, where he is holding court for the weekend with all his most loyal and subservient clingers. I was never completely convinced he was more than a dupe,... Read more

President Trump Puts Dictator Over Treasury Department

Last updated on: March 23, 2019 at 12:17 am By Susan Wright

To the surprise of absolutely no one, President Trump flew in the face of his own Treasury Department, in order to display his loyalty to a depraved, bloodthirsty dictator. On Thursday the U.S. Treasury Department announced new penalties against two Chinese shipping companies that were working to help North Korea get around the sanctions already in place. And that’s the crux of it. North Korea has taken President Trump on a ride, running the long con to get out of... Read more

Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump Accused of Violating Presidential Records Act

Last updated on: March 21, 2019 at 2:56 pm By Susan Wright

Nepotism continues to be a problem for the Trump White House. You have to fix this scenario in your head to understand what is going on in the most high levels of the American government, at this moment. A reality TV huckster, with a long, checkered history of corruption and con jobs, infidelities in both his business and personal life, manages to make it to the Big Show. He’s in the White House, sitting behind the Resolute Desk in the... Read more

Kellyanne Conway Demonstrates How NOT to Be a Supportive Wife

Last updated on: March 20, 2019 at 11:00 pm By Susan Wright

I wasn’t invited to the Conway wedding, but I’m going to go out on a limb and suggest that somewhere in the ceremony, there were words like this: “Do you, Kellyanne, take George to be your lawful husband? Will you love him, honor and keep him in sickness and in health and forsaking all others keep only unto him so long as you both shall live?” Kellyanne: “I will. I Kellyanne take you, George, to be my lawful husband, to... Read more

Devin Nunes Lashes out at Twitter With Lawsuit, Hilarity Ensues

Last updated on: March 19, 2019 at 9:12 am By Susan Wright

I honestly don’t know if this is more pathetic or more hilarious. Ok. It’s both. Devoted Trumpian bootlick and all-around sniveling weasel-boy, Representative Devin Nunes (R-Calif.) announced on Monday that he was suing social media platform, Twitter, as well as several parody accounts, Devin Nunes’ Cow (@DevinCow) and Devin Nunes’ Mom (@DevinNunesMom). The congressman hopes to get $250 million out of his efforts for compensatory damages. He hopes to get another $350,000 for punitive damages – because his feelings were... Read more

Trump Spends a Weekend Lashing out at a Dead Man

Last updated on: March 17, 2019 at 5:39 pm By Susan Wright

President Donald Trump is a small, petty, obnoxious man. He’s a man who has precious few accomplishments in his own life. We can’t count his businesses. He’s been bankrupt far too many times, he lives on credit, and if not for his father’s money, he’d be a Walmart greeter, today. We certainly can’t include his altruism, or his service to his nation. He’s the guy who had his wealthy father arrange for 4 or 5 deferments from the military, due... Read more

Lindsey Graham Wants to Hold the Mueller Report Hostage

Last updated on: March 14, 2019 at 11:21 pm By Susan Wright

Sit down, Lindsey. You know, I followed the Benghazi hearings and the hearings into Hillary Clinton’s email server with great interest. In my opinion, the Obama administration and Democrats went out of their way to obstruct the work of Congress in investigating these matters. Not a smidgen of corruption? YOU LIE! That being said, there is something most unsavory about using your elected office to go after political enemies. It’s horrid when Democrats do it, and equally horrid from Republicans.... Read more

Minnesota Democrats May Be Looking for a Way out of Their “Omar Problem”

Last updated on: March 14, 2019 at 1:38 pm By Susan Wright

I wondered how long Democrats would allow certain members of their freshman class to march them towards a destination of being the party of halfwits and anti-Semitism. It’s kind of laughable, actually. The age of Trumpism with the Republican party gave Democrats the perfect opportunity to step up and appear mature, reasonable, and definitely far more intellectual. Instead, the 2018 midterms saw them bring a New York bartender into Congress with all the intellectual heft of a plastic baggie, and... Read more

New Probe in NY Into Trump’s Ties With Deutsche Bank, Investors Bank

Last updated on: March 12, 2019 at 11:34 am By Susan Wright

So let me say this again: The gravest threat to Donald Trump, ultimately, may not rest with special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia probe, but with the Southern District of New York. This is always the danger that comes from a public that lowers their standards for leadership from requiring men (or women) of character, to accepting anyone who appeals to their lowest instincts. Dumb, angry bumper sticker slogans do not a leader make. Long before ever running for public office,... Read more

Attention Conservatives: Don’t Defend Tucker Carlson’s Piggish Attitude

Last updated on: March 11, 2019 at 8:32 pm By Susan Wright

So let’s address the Tucker Carlson issue. Since Media Matters dug up some pretty atrocious comments from the Fox News personality, made in a series of interviews with a so-called shock jock, Bubba the Love Sponge, it’s now an issue. The comments referred to women as “primitive,” called Martha Stewart’s daughter, Alexis Stewart, “c**t-y,” and even went on to defend Warren Jeffs, the leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. Jeffs was accused in 2006, several... Read more
