These fucking guys...can you tell that Republicans just HATE Americans specifically, America broadly, and living things in general?

Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!

Let me start with an update on my last post before I launch into everything else that's pissing me off today...GRRRRR.

From what I've heard, that gawd-awful budget that I mentioned last time passed the House vote and the Senate budget committee. To the best of my understanding, that's bad news, but we're not dead yet--it hasn't come up for a vote in the full Senate yet.

From what I've heard, there's a chance that the Senate could rubber-stamp it if it does.

All that stands between us having or losing Medicare and Medicaid seems to be our three usual stalwarts: John McCain, Lisa Murkowski, and Susan Collins.

It's a tricky call--are they more willing to succumb to the sheer greed of killing us to give our money to the rich when labeled as "health care reform," or are they more willing to succumb to the sheer greed of killing us to give our money to the rich when labeled as "tax reform"?

Either way, keep lighting up the phones, and don't stop until we have Democrats back in office.

In other words, CALL like your life depends on it because IT DOES.

Do you believe these Republican assholes?

They fly all over the country on private jets wasting millions and millions of OUR hard-earned tax dollars, deliberately hold events at tRUmp properties so they can aid and abet his corruption by giving him MORE of our hard-earned tax money, and bankrupt the Secret Service with constant family vacations.

And that doesn't even count tRUmp's $3M/week golf vacations and golf cart rentals to the Secret Service. The golf cart costs alone have cost Us the People hundreds of thousands of dollars.

And then there's penis pence's premeditated publicity stunt of going to the Colts game just for the sake of making a parade of leaving--whether or not the players took a knee--because he was actually on his way to raise money for Putin's pet congressman Dana Rohrabacher. Flying back and forth across the country for penis pence's paid protest? Estimates fall between $225,000 and over $1M. Riling up the racist base by confounding protests against racism with being unpatriotic--spending our money like water simply because he can? Priceless.

The irony is almost too staggering to put into words.

Daycare Donnie and Dense penis pence with all malice aforethought sold out this nation and its election to Putin, the enemy that attacked us. They daily piss on the Constitution and use the flag to wipe their asses. They daily work to divide the nation for Putin's benefit and at his behest--by fomenting internal conflict and by alienating us from our allies abroad. They daily seek to deny our warfighters and veterans the pay, health care, and benefits that they earned sacrificing for this country. They constantly threaten nuclear war with North Korea when tRUmp himself is a five-time draft dodger.

And they honor the 2017 copies of the Nazis we fought in WW II and the confederate traitors we defeated to keep the nation whole.

You know, the ones who just marched on Charlottesville again.

Can you get any less patriotic than that--being a Putin-loving Nazi-apologist confederate?!??

And with the money these corrupt bastards daily piss away, we could be feeding, housing, and caring for the veterans and fetuses they and their Republican accomplices claim to venerate so vehemently.

So much for pro-life fiscal conservatives.

Hell, they don't even care about the deficit when Republicans are in office. That bogeyman only rears its head when Democrats are in power.

Hell, they don't even care about ethics or corruption, like soliciting or receiving emoluments or using personal e-mails or private servers when Republicans are in power. Remember, kiddies, it's only wrong if Democrats do it.

And they sure as fuck only care about sexual predators when they're Democrats, like Anthony Weiner and Harvey Weinstein--in which case, Hillary Clinton alone is responsible for their behavior. Sexual assault and rape are sacred Christian values when the perpetrator is a Republican like tRUmp, Ailes, and O'Reilly. Democrats raised a stink until Weinstein was fired; Republicans made their sexual predator president. But in neither case do Republicans give a shit about women's incubators' safety or dignity.

Dense penis pence, who lives in a fantasy world of demons and magic and superstition, understands but deprecates government and the rule of law--which makes him dangerous.

Daycare Donnie, who recently lamented to Rexxon that it should be legal for businesses to commit bribery, is too st00pit to understand government or the rule of law--which makes him more dangerous.

And that fact is not lost on the traitorous dotard's own party.

Even Tennessee Senator Bob Corker admits that he and the rest of the Republicans in Congress understand that tRUmp is incoherent, incompetent, and unfit to hold office.

So, where does it end?

Do they just keep kissing tRUmp's ass because he's the only chance they've got of extracting the rest of the wealth from our economy through their murderous budget bill?

Do they continue to smile and nod like Melania and praise dear leader's cheated golf score like Miss Lindsey Graham, humoring not only tRUmp but also their vicious donors who are intent on destroying--at least until they cause a mass extinction--the planet's ability to sustain life?

The only reason Republicans like filling their ranks with Nazis and white supremacists is that Nazis and shite supremacists are genocidal.

It's a common goal.

That's why Republicans turn into a swarm of angry bees when a Black person protests police shootings of unarmed Black people without consequences--how dare uppity Black people not simper and thank their murderers for crushing them like cockroaches under their jackbooted heels.

That's why they can't understand for the life of them why ordinary Americans don't simper and thank them for wage theft, deadly austerity, and enforcing maximal births while denying woman, fetus, baby, and child sufficient food and health care.

That's why they feel entitled to strip the planet for parts, killing us all in the process if they can.

They love death. Idolize it. Get off on inflicting it on those less powerful than themselves. That's why they all love Putin--their role model.

Tweep Scott Dworkin ("funder") tweeted that trump "dragged his feet on helping Puerto Rico; there's blood on his hands, and he's licking his fingers like it's fried chicken."

What a perfect description.

Only it-snot just tRUmp. It's ALL Republicans. They're all in on it; they're all complicit.

Otherwise, they'd get him the fuck out of there by any means necessary.

If Republicans weren't sure how to pack the daycare dotard off to a padded room--as if the Constitution didn't provide means to impeach and remove tRUmp--they could always take a page out of tRUmp's own playbook and ask their "second amendment people" to fix it. Those pro-death morons are always looking for target practice. Convincing them wouldn't be hard. If they were gullible enough to guzzle tRUmp's Kool-Aid, they'll fall for anything.

Talk about hypocrisy...

"Don't politicize" the Las Vegas massacre by talking about sensible gun control, Republicans told us...then Dotard Donald immediately politicized the Las Vegas massacre by fucking fundraising off it!

GRRRRR!

The good news is that the money that morons like my Tea Party Christian friend send tRUmp will go to tRUmp's legal defense.

And I'll bet you a bowl of borscht that there won't be one red cent left over for actual campaign ads.

My friend "J" thinks that the Republican attack on women's reproductive rights and our social safety net is a form of population control by eugenics.

He thinks that the intent is to force women to birth as many babies as possible with no health care or government food aid because then only the strongest will survive.

I think that the intent is definitely population control, but I don't think Republicans really want more and stronger Black and Latino babies--at least, not until or unless they could reinstate slavery.

I think that, at the moment at least, the population control isn't a goal but a side effect of the Republican intent to maximize misery and suffering.

My friend "I" agrees. Coming from an Eastern bloc country where inflicting misery and suffering is a typical approach toward governance, he observed that maximizing misery and suffering helps those in power keep their boot on the collective neck of the governed.

I couldn't agree more.

Andrew Jerell Jones tweeted, "Jemele Hill is held to a higher standard for her online behavior than the current President of the United States. Just think about that."

Hurricanes Harvey, Irma, and Maria were each record-breaking weather events.

Hurricane Nate deluged the gulf coast before being downgraded to a tropical depression.

Napa went up in flames in the Tubbs fire, killing at least 10 and destroying at least 1,500 structures.

There was a magnitude 4.1 earthquake in the San Francisco Bay area.

Do you think evangelicals are sleeping out on their porches these days keeping watch for the four horsemen?

Well, dear ones, that's all I got for today. Hope you had a safe and restful Bartolome/Indigenous People's Day--especially since the daycare dotard thinks he invented Columbus Day and the word "fake," which he personifies.
