Day 974 We are Getting Screwed

Day 974  We are Getting Screwed

Friday September 6, 2019

425 Days until the 2020 election and 507 days until the Inauguration

The administration has rolled back regulations on light bulbs. That will cost us billions in extra energy.

The president has taken in millions from the payday loan folks via his Miami golf course. What do they get in return? Why the agency that was going after them for their 300% annual loans no longer does. They get to make millions by screwing over the poorest of the poor in this country.

The administration and the president being an equal opportunity screwer of the people is stealing money from every state, in violation of the law, to put money into building his wall. So far he has built zero. The only stuff that has been built was approved by Obama. It’s all replacement stuff.

As long as we are talking about breaking the law someone altered a weather map showing where Hurricane Dorian was going. Most people think it was the president who took his Sharpie to the map. This is a Federal crime to “knowingly” alter a weather forecast. I guess he can claim he didn’t know.

On gun control the president is waiting on Congress and the Senate is waiting on the president. The House passed a gun control bill as one of their first orders of business. Mr. McConnell won’t bring it to the Senate floor for a vote. So all that needs to be done is for Donnie to tell Mitchie that he likes the House bill. Boom. Done. That ain’t happening.

Speaking of not happening. Why hasn’t the State of Alabama asked for hurricane disaster relief funds? Hell, if the president said the hurricane was coming to my state, and I was governor, I’d put in for it. That could make up for the money he took for the wall.

And speaking of trite and petty, the governor of North Carolina asked for disaster relief funds for Hurricane Dorian. By law he’s the only one that can ask. What does Donnie do? Well, see the governor of North Carolina is a Democrat. So Don says he’s releasing the funds because Tom Tillis the Republican senator asked him for it. Yeah. Right. 

Meanwhile, there have been some great retouching of photographs with a Sharpie. I like the one of the stick figures drawn in over top of the empty spaces at the Trump Inauguration.

Meanwhile the Bahamas is in ruins. We’ve sent helicopters. I don’t know what else we’ve sent but dammit. We should be sending the Navy, the Air Force, the Marines, the Hope, everything we’ve got.

Looking for the best place to send money. I can do that.

. . .

I just sent it to the Red Cross for Hurricane Dorian Relief.
