"President" 45 Has History Of Comparing Himself To God

It's too bad Republicans didn't take Scotland's heed and refuse to let 45 (I won't type its name anymore unless there is no other way to report on the issues) run as their nominee. Instead they invited in the devil to further their agenda and all of us are suffering for it—even the ones who don't realize it yet. But I'm digressing...

According to The Irish Times, 45 accused Scottish politician Patrick Harvie of blasphemy after Harvie posted a tweet regarding 45 that he didn't like. Blasphemy. Let me repeat that: he accused the politician of blasphemy. "The Scottish blasphemy law was last enforced in 1843 but, under parliament rules, an investigation had to be launched," wrote journalist Peter Geoghegan. "The case was dismissed, making Harvie the only Scottish parliamentarian ever to be formally cleared of blasphemy."

I've posted a quick video (and humorous recap!) from Samantha Bee's show because it puts the blasphemy case into perspective alongside what was going on in Scotland at the time this event occurred. Nevertheless, I highly suggest reading The Irish Times piece for an altogether different reason. Namely, the division and hostility 45 created in Scotland amongst ordinary citizens is eerily similar to the state of being that is, as Time magazine so aptly dubbed it, the current Divided States of America.

Two Segregationists Confirmed In Two Days

2017's Black History Month will go down in American history as either the beginning of the end or the end of the beginning. If February 7th & 8th are any indication of what is to come—and I believe in my heart of hearts that they are—we are closer to Civilutionary War than ever before. Indeed, I'll be surprised if the country hasn't broken down into armed militias by spring and torn itself apart by summer.


Later that same day, Senator Elizabeth Warren was silenced by GOP Senate Majority Leader Mitch "The Bitch" McConnell when she tried to read the letter Coretta Scott King wrote regarding Jeff Sessions’ racially bigoted patterns of behavior. The GOP senators then voted to censure Senator Warren using an obscure rule only invoked ONCE in American history, effectively barring her from speaking during the February 8 confirmation hearing of Jeff Sessions to the position of Attorney General.

As awful as all the above is, perhaps the most frightening and foreboding thing to occur on February 7 was this: The House Administration Committee voted 6-3 along party lines to eliminate the Election Assistance Commission, which helps states run elections and is the only federal agency charged with making sure voting machines can’t be hacked. The agency was set up after the Bush-Gore debacle of 2000; the GOP has been trying to get rid of it ever since—mission accomplished.

On February 8, 2017 Jeff Sessions was, as expected, confirmed to the position of U.S. Attorney General. He will be in charge of the country’s civil rights division despite his racist and anti-gay views. All Republican senators and a Democrat from West Virginia voted in favor of his confirmation while all other Democrats voted against it. 

I knew both confirmations would go through, but I’m still gutted by the fact they did. America, I do not recognize you anymore.

The media has failed to cover this. Email & call the hell out of them! Meanwhile... 

We lose rights on a near hourly basis, the severely mentally ill were given the right to own a gun, it's now legal for companies to pollute our waterways, we the people are paying for the upkeep and staff of EVERY Trump residence plus the residences of his adult children & Kellyanne Conway, politicians no longer have to disclose bribes given to them by foreign entities or governments, the separation between church and state has been obliterated, our healthcare stands to be repealed w/o a replacement, China is preparing to go to war with us, Iran is being suspiciously quiet, Australia has declared they will choose NATO over the US (as they should), protests against the US government continue around the world every day, American Muslim assaults have gone through the roof, hate crimes in general have sky-rocketed (but Obama was soooo divisive 🙄) and... 

We are only at DAY 16.

All-Out Assault On Black Americans Has Begun

The United States government kicked off its "celebration" of Black History Month yesterday with a series of unforgettable—and unforgivable—acts:

  1. Jeff Sessions, a lifelong bigot with a decades long resume of racist rhetoric and behavior, was confirmed by the Senate Committee to the position of Attorney General; he has one final step to bypass and the job is officially his.

  2. Trump held a Black History Month breakfast wherein he briefly spoke about civil rights leaders he clearly knew nothing about (i.e. Frederick Douglass) before spending the rest of his speech discussing his favorite subject—himself.

  3. Neil Gorsuch was nominated by Pretender-President Trump to SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States). Gorsuch was the founder of the Fascism Forever Club in his youth—not exactly a reassuring qualification for people of color. 

    His appointment to SCOTUS could be equally detrimental to other minorities as well. As a judge, he flatly stated in 2005 that he does not interpret the constitution as protecting gay marriage. For women, his record is even bleaker. Gorsuch supports allowing business owners with certain religious beliefs not to insure women's birth control. He is also an advocate for defunding Planned Parenthood even though no tax monies are used at PP for abortions. Although Gorsuch never had to rule on an abortion case, it isn't a huge leap in logic to assume he would vote to overturn Roe vs. Wade if given the chance. In the birth control case he wrote, “No one before us disputes that the mandate compels Hobby Lobby and Mardel to underwrite payments for drugs or devices that can have the effect of destroying a fertilized human egg.”

  4. House Republicans passed a resolution to nullify the Stream Protection Rule, effectively allowing coal mines to contaminate water sources. As always, polluted water disproportionately affects minority and poorer communities.

  5. Breitbart's Milo Yiannopoulos, perhaps the world's first gay AND Jewish Nazi, deliberately scheduled a campus speech for February 1st at the University of California at Berkley.
    Needless to say, his presence was not welcomed at what is perhaps the most liberal college in the U.S. Riots broke out, forcing the idiot to cancel his speech. As of this writing, it is unclear whether actual students participated in the riot or if the disruptors were all members of a Black Bloc. Whatever the case, Nazi-Boy has been milking the incident for every drop of publicity he can. As that's a common tactic for Yiannopoulos, the Black Bloc possibility cannot be easily dismissed.
Every day, being an American becomes less and less of a distinction. At this rate, Mexico might just build that wall yet—to keep us out of Mexico rather than the other way around.
