It’s all over but the shouting. Literally.
What a waste of three weeks of my life!
If I never hear the name Kavanaugh again I would be a happy camper. The same goes for Mitch McConnell, Lindsey
Graham, Susan Collins, Chuck Grassley and yes, Jeff Flake.
JEFF FLAKE is no
hero. He always gets lots of publicity
and then he caves to Trump and the GOP. If you read my column last week, you know I
hinted that I smelled a rat with Flake’s near inaudible motion at the hearing
when he said, “limited scope.” At that
time, it was only a gut feeling. As
usual, my gut feeling was right. However
evidently, I was wrong about who limited the scope. If Mitch McConnell is to be believed, he
stated in his speech prior to Kavanaugh’s confirmation that he and members of
the Judiciary Committee made the decision in a meeting with two other members
who were with-holding their support, Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski. Make no mistake about it, while McConnell’s
admission takes the heat off the White House about limiting the scope of the
FBI investigation, my gut is telling me that McConnell got all this approved in
advance by Trump. After all, how many
times did we hear that only the White House could limit the scope with the FBI
because this was a background check.
MCCONNELL’S
admission also begs the question, why would Susan Collins and Lisa Murkowski
agree to such a narrow scope? With
Murkowski’s “present” vote against Kavanaugh, it would appear she did not agree
but was too afraid to just say it! She
said she voted that way as a favor to her GOP colleagues. Well, isn’t that special? If you heard Susan Collins’ one- hour speech
prior to the confirmation vote, she repeatedly stated there was no credible
evidence. The fact the FBI was not allowed to look beyond the scope that she
was part of out-lining granted her the cover she longed for. The GOP could not take the chance of enough
credible evidence coming to light if the FBI dug deeper. Let’s watch and wait
to see what Susan Collins’ payoff will be.
I FOUND one thing
Susan Collins said especially abhorrent and a slap in the face to all
women. I heard men say the same thing, I
think one was Lindsey Graham, but I was able to shake it off because it was a
man. Collins said, “I believe she was
sexually assaulted by somebody, and I don’t know when or where, but I don’t
believe it was Judge Kavanaugh.” Is it
just me, or was that a nice way of saying Dr. Ford was a liar, or that she was
mentally ill?
ALSO, IN my last
week’s column, I half-jokingly said that Lindsey Graham’s outrage in his
support of Kavanaugh at the televised hearing was an audition to Trump to
replace Sessions as Attorney General.
That was not a joke. Too many
people are now confirming this.
WHAT GOES around,
comes around. Quoting Forrest Gump,
“That’s all I gotta say ‘bout that.”
SURPRISE.
Surprise. Surprise. Not! Donald Trump is
not a self-made billionaire (if he is one)!
In a 30+ page investigative article in the New York Times, it was
revealed that the only thing Trump ever built in his lifetime has been his
brand, and that was based on a lie.
You’ve heard the lie many times.
Trump won the Presidency on this lie by convincing people that he was
successful because he worked hard and made good deals. He used this lie to win
over hardworking men and women in this country. You know the lie by heart. “I started my business with a million-dollar
loan from my father and paid him back with interest.”
IN TRUTH, Fred
Trump used revenue streams from his own businesses to his children to avoid
taxes of all kinds, and Donald Trump had 295 of those streams of revenue by the
time Daddy Trump died. Donald Trump was
a millionaire by the age of 8 and his wealth continued to grow; the older he
got, the more he received each year until he was fifty, compliments of Daddy.
Daddy Trump gave Donald at least $413 million over the years. When Daddy Trump died, it was announced that
his estate had been seized by the IRS due to all the hanky-panky tax dodging
schemes he used. Some years later, Trump
and his siblings sold off the buildings remaining in the estate and Donald’s
share was $175 million. While it appears
there’s little that can be done after all these years about these past crimes
but investigations have started. My
reliable gut is telling me that the Donald has utilized the same hanky-panky
with his own taxes. Has he used revenue
streams to make his children rich? Is
Barron already a multi-millionaire?
That’s why we HAVE to see his taxes.
And quoting myself, “That ain’t all I gotta say ‘bout that.”
