Missing W, Notes of Failure, and a Picture of Trump

The rightwing internet must be kept in a constant state of agitation and nothing gets the rightwing morans excited then tales of Liberal Incivility.

The W(orst POTUS Ever) Regime prior to the massive failure of 9/11 propagated the preposterous lie the out-going Clinton Administration had stolen all the "W"s from the keyboards. The Traitor Trump Cabal has now injected two ridiculous, absurd falsehoods into the treasonous conservative bloodstream;
"But this ambassador that, you know, everybody says is so wonderful, she wouldn’t hang my picture in the embassy. OK? She’s in charge of the embassy, she wouldn’t hang it. It took like a year and a half or two years to get the picture up. She said bad things about me, she wouldn’t defend me. - Trump took an hour out of his busy schedule to complain to Fox & Friends." 
Ludicrous. Untrue. Delusional. Additionally, the new White House Non-spokeswoman claimed the out-going Obama Administration had left mean notes taped up throughout the White House.
"We came into the White House, I’ll tell you something. Every office was filled with Obama books, and we had notes left behind that said, ‘You will fail,’ ‘You aren’t going to make it,’" Stephanie Grisham
3 other unnamed Trump apparatchiks claimed Obama even left Russian Vodka in desk drawers!

Too bad Grisham is facing the internet of 2019 and not 2001 because this disgusting rightwing lie was immediately debunked by former Obama staff members and Grisham herself walked back the claim, which her traitorous boss would never have done. Trump would have doubled, tripled, quadrupled, quintupled down as he always does on his lies because Trump understands; conservatives love lies and hate America. Understand no matter how often it is debunked or how many walk-backs are done, many conservatives will always believe the lies and propaganda they are feed by Hate Radio, Faux News, and the rightwing internet agitprop factory so they may nurse that grudge against the Left.

But, the dissemination of these lies, lies intended to enflame conservatives, is the whole reason the United States now has a rapist racist mob-adjacent traitor in the White House. Conservatives have broadcast their hatred and desires on open-source radio and internet for decades. All the FSB, GRU, and other foreign intelligence agency had to do was listen and then ape the Reactionary rhetoric sprinkled with untruths in order to completely control conservatives.

FSB spy Maria Butina was able to direct the NRA, get them to accept tens of millions of dollars of Russian gangster money, while amassing a collage of tiny rightwing dick pics for Vladimir Putin. Butina even got to "ask" a question of Traitor Trump early on in his campaign,
"I'm from Russia. ... My question will be about foreign politics. If you would be elected as a president, what will be your foreign politics especially in relationship with my country? And do you want to continue the politics of sanctions that are damaging of both economy [sic] or do you have other ideas?"
A direct order for Vlad Putin? Probably. And that is where we are today. Conservatives are controlled by foreign intelligence agencies and rapidly repeat any Russian crafted lie fed into the rightwing bloodstream, such as the 'I hired Trump to fire people like Yovanovich' which trended on twitter and was crafted by the FSB.

At this point Conservatives are a lost cause. Just as they did in 1861, conservatives are yearning to attack America and kill people. Hopefully the vast undecided middle, which sat out the 2016 election will decide to vote in 2020, kicking the Traitor out of the White House.

Cliven Bundy as Vanguard for the Slow Moving Right-Wing Coup to reshape America

Like a Welfare Cowboy...
Consitutional Sheriffs Organization, Sovereign Citizens, Posse Comitatus Movement, The III Percenters, Oathkeepers Oathbreakers. What do these groups have in common? They are the Right-Wing Domestic Terrorist Organizations which the Department of Homeland Security warned America about in 2009. But, that prescient report was withdrawn after Laura Ingraham, Ann Coulter, Michelle Malkin, the Insurgents at Faux News and other elements of the Right-Wing Wurlitzer of Outrage expressed their anger at being correctly identified as terrorists.

Like many tiny sparks which lead to a great conflagration, The Cliven Bundy v. Bureau of Land Management struggle could be one of those sparks as Conservative Domestic Terrorists are itching to begin murdering employees of the Federal Government.

SE Finer in his influential 1962 book The Man on Horseback: The Role of the Military in Politics described the beliefs which drive the Sovereign Citizens, in discussing a comment by General Douglas MacArthur from 1952,
"I find in existence a new and heretofore unknown and dangerous concept that the members of our armed forces owe primary allegiance or loyalty to those who temporarily exercise the authority of the Executive Branch of Government rather than to the country and its constitution which they are sworn to defend." 
No proposition, added General MacArthur, 'could be more dangerous.' On the contrary, it is General MacArthur's view which opens Pandora's Box. The moment the military draw this distinction between nation and the government in power, the begin to invent their own private notion of the national interest, and from this it is only a skip to the constrained substitution of this view for that of the civilian government. ( ibid. pg 22-23)
Despite as I've argued, we live in a Center-Left Nation, Left-Wing agitation is unacceptable. The 1% have established powerful cabals in the Media and Government that respond only to interests of the Plutocrats while using their influence to stunt and shut down issues the Working Class cares about.

With the election of Barack Obama, the Militia Movement reached new heights surpassing even the Clinton Era. The conservative cry of Taking Back Their Country led to dozens of right-wing rallies and demonstrations and the now mature internet allowed thousands of on-line keyboard commandos to spread despicable lies and conspiracy theories.

But, this Right-Wing agitation has been carefully cultivated, like a bonsai tree, to succor and defend the interests of the Very Wealthy. When the astroturf Tea Party Movement was founded and funded by the Koch Brothers, they knew exactly what issues their Devil Spawn would agitate for; deregulation and privatization.

Conservative "Populism" is cherished because it can be reliably counted upon to be Pro-1%. 

Cliven Bundy's racist remarks about "the negro", Martin Luther King Jr, and Slavery, while standard conservative orthodoxy, are not the story, the true story is how the Right continued to defend Bundy's Sovereign Citizen beliefs.

National Review Online Kevin Williamson emailed Talking Points Memo after Bundy's Racist comments,
Mr. Bundy's racial rhetoric is lamentable and backward. It is also separate from the fundamental question here, which is the federal government's acting as an absentee landlord for nine-tenths of the state of Nevada. I very strongly suspect that most of the men who died at the Alamo held a great many views that I would find repugnant; we remember them for other reasons.
Williamson's defense is that Bundy is the imperfect messenger of the Perfect Message of Freedom and Liberty, as he equates Cliven Bundy with Davy Crockett. The Modern Conservative has absorbed the rhetoric of the Militia Movement.

While the Militiamen are eager to murder Government workers what they've been duped into fighting for is the thievery of a High Plains Grifter (stolen from c u n d gulag over at Ballonjuice.com).

And when the confrontation first began who did we find stoking the flames of insurrection? Why none other than Faux News.
"That's because of the Tea Party movement, all these Tim McVeigh wannabes." ~ Sean Hannity 
Sean Hannity pushed Cliven Bundy's message for weeks, urging him to get into a shooting match with Federal LEOs in order to be transformed into a Martyr and Right-Wing Saint. But, it wasn't just Hannity, Nevada Senator Dean Heller, Nevada State Republicans and conservatives across the Country felt empowered to back Bundy and the conservative domestic terrorists.

Jon Stewart has been skewering Fox and Sean Hannity for a decade, yet still millions tune in to hear the Plutocracy's Premiere Propaganda Network's message of Adulation of the Rich, using the well worn conservative tropes of bigotry, oppression and intolerance. While in the Bundy fiasco right-wingers fully supported brave Sheriff Mack and other conservative champions, who planned to hide behind women and children while killing LEOs. The so-called Fox Effect.

The Fox Effect and before the take-over of Talk Radio, has been incredibly successful in making right-wingers continually outraged while robbing them of their reason and sanity. All so the 1% could undo the Progressive Gains of the 20th Century.

Bolstered by their conservative dupes, the obscenely Rich have steadily eroded voting rights, environmental protections, and the social safety net, while stacking the courts with Tort Reform Pro-Business Judges, and passed Legislation at all levels to remove constraints on their rapacious appetite to rape the land, steal it's resources, and murder the 99% who get in their way.

And that has culminated in the slow-moving Coup, the Plutocracy has working at for generations. A Coup to rid America of Representative Democracy and replace it with a Neo-Feudalist Wage Slave State.

The Truth about Benghazi. President Obama reacted swifter than Bush did on 9/11. While Republicans out CIA Operations.


New details have been released regarding the reaction to the terrorist attacks in Benghazi. Unlike, President Bush who sat in a catatonic stupor while thousands of Americans died, President Obama was engaged and understood the nature of the emergency within minutes.
The CIA rushed security operatives to an American diplomatic compound in Libya within 24 minutes of its coming under attack and played a more central role in the effort to fend off a night-long siege than has been acknowledged publicly, U.S. intelligence officials said Thursday.
The agency mobilized the evacuation effort, took control of an unarmed U.S. military drone to map possible escape routes, dispatched an emergency security team from Tripoli, the capital, and chartered aircraft that ultimately carried surviving American personnel to safety, U.S. officials said. 
 The biggest revelation is that Benghazi was a covert CIA action,
The U.S. effort in Benghazi was at its heart a CIA operation, according to officials briefed on the intelligence. Of the more than 30 American officials evacuated from Benghazi following the deadly assault, only seven worked for the State Department. Nearly all the rest worked for the CIA, under diplomatic cover, which was a principal purpose of the consulate, these officials said.
Of course, Faux News and Republican buffoons in their rush to Impeach President Obama have no compunction about outing CIA agents, undermining national security or covert operations. Anything which they can use to slander Barack Obama is fodder for their propaganda machine.

But, despite the revelations Faux News is way too invested in their Benghazi Bullshit to give up now. Faux News has staked too much on Benghazi as a vehicle to eliminate President Obama to drop their campaign of lies.

But, what they will never do is bring forth a credible witness, or a CIA "whistle blower", or actual official documents or any REAL EVIDENCE. No Faux will rely on Newt Gingrich, a man who has no connection to the military as he was a big, fat cowardly, chicken hawk who hasn't held office in over a decade to mention "rumors I've heard". And Peter Johnson Jr. to offer up his smears while he says "I have no evidence for this." While Sean Hannity engages in his nightly tirades of bigotry, bluster and bullshit.

Officials say that U.S. forces from Europe and Fort Bragg in North Carolina were dispatched in an effort to help, but they arrived too late. Officials considered sending U.S. warplanes from Italy, but it was decided that dropping bombs would lead to civilian casualties.
CIA officials in Washington strongly deny there was any order not to mount a rescue mission. And the source tells NPR there was never an order to stay put. It was all about getting ready, not delaying. Within 24 minutes, the American and Libyan team moved out toward the consulate.
 So, the Republicans will never convene a real hearing in which military officers and service men are brought forth to testify. No because their testimony under oath would move to exonerate President Obama. No official proceeding will ever occur in which CIA operatives and State Department officials give testimony because there will be NO EVIDENCE to support the Bullshit Slanders Republican Congressmen and Senators have been alleging with reckless abandon on Faux News.

Instead, Republicans will talk real tough about how mad they are and let Faux News run with OUTRIGHT LIES, smears, innuendoes, falsehoods in an effort to Impeach President Obama in the fevered minds of the Alternate Conservative Reality.

Mitt Romney and the Rich shouldn't have to pay Any Taxes. That's what the Poor are For!

“In 1968, France was a dangerous place to be for a 21-year-old American but Mitt Romney was right in the middle of it.” — CNN, Romney Revealed. It was a simple clerical mix-up for the Pro-Draft Chicken Hawk Mitt Romney when he filled out his missonary visa after receiving multiple draft deferments. France instead of French-Indochina...
Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan pay under 16% in Taxes. I would say they rountinely pay even less than that, but as Willard Mitt Romney refuses to reveal his tax returns prior to 2010, we can only reasonably infer Romney made Hundreds of Millions by eliminating American jobs, closing American factories, while he got millions in tax subsidies and corporate welfare from the George W(orst President Ever) Bush's reverse-robin hood Tax schemes.

But, Romney and Ryan really shouldn't pay any taxes because they are the "Job Creators". They are the Elect. They are the Social Darwinian Champions.

Only workers need to be pay taxes. Hopefully, as the Coal Miners from Murray Energy learned, it will be Mandatory to Vote your Bosses Pocketbook and a new tax on the Middle Class and Poor titled The Pleasure for Working and Voting for Romney Tax will be enacted.

Mitt Romney tould CBS News Scott Pelley what Government programs he'd cut. Romney rattled off, "the subsidy for PBS*, the subsidy for Amtrak, the subsidy for the National Endowment for the Arts, the subsidy for the National Endowment for the Humanities."

Listening to Romney glibly discussing his plans to cut nickels from the Federal Budget what is more apparent and has been revealed often by Romney is his plan to turn the United States into a Giant Wealth Sucking Machine.

Willard Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan will lower taxes on the 1%, raise them on the Middle Class and Poor, cut programs which aid the Middle Class and eliminate any and all regulations which hamper the small cadre of Elites, with whom they associates, to steal Trillions of Dollars from Us and funnel it into their off-shore Cayman Island and Swiss bank accounts.

It's not that Romney or any Republican wants to limit the size of Government. No what they want to do is to convince enough people to Vote away their own Rights and Benefits. Those Rights and Benefits will be lost but the monies won't be. Instead Billions of dollars which should go to 99% of the American people will then easily be transitioned into the pocketbooks of the Wealthy.

A Vote for Romney is a vote for his Tax Plan which raises the tax burden on the Middle Class and lowers it on the Rich. While not lowering any of the Government handouts to the Corporate Moochers. So you pay more in taxes and Romney gives that money to Corporations are People, my friend who then hide that money in their off-shore bank accounts.

A Vote for Romney is a vote to transfer Social Security into Wall Street, from whence it can be gambled away and lost into the bank accounts of Sheldon Adelson.

A Vote for Romney is a vote to transfer public lands and mineral rights into the hands of the Koch Brothers, who having no vested interest in keeping those lands pristine will rape, despoil and pollute the land and extract the funds for their private use.

A Vote for Romney is a vote to chain yourself and your prosperity into the shackles of Wage Slavery and Corporate Bondage.

I'm Sure glad the Republicans keep telling me Global Warming is a Myth

Because if they didn't "catapult the propaganda" I might be worried about day after day of cross-country record breaking 100+ degree temperatures, Mars-like drought conditions and increasingly violent and bizzare wind and storm patterns.

But, as Paul Mulshine of the New Jersey Star Ledger points out, damn the evidence assailing your mind and body everyday, he doesn't believe in it so it's not true! Mulshine commits several Global Warming Denier tropes,
First scientists need to sort out all the possible causes of climate change in a system with an almost endless number of variable.
There's too many variables just stick your head up your own ass and 100 degrees won't feel hot!
[O]versimplified by the Al Gores of the world.
Did I mention Al Gore is fat? And Liberal!

It's part and parcel of the anti-science right-wing climate change deniers. There's too much to study so why study any of it! Al Gore!!! The Bible contradicts what's happening!

But, while most conservatives continue to allow themselves to be duped into violent foaming at the mouth incoherence at the mere mention that the climate is being destroyed, mainly by rich powerful Corporate negligence, regular Americans understand what is happening,
"We now start a month early in the maple season," says Vermont farmer Jason Gagne.

"Warm weather has meant earlier growth," says Jason Shaw, of Georgia Olive Farms.

"Pomegranates are very rare in our climate, but more people are planting them as temperatures increase, says Fred Bahnson of Asheville, North Carolina.
But, hey who are these farmers going to believe Republican bureaucrats safely ensconced in their Washington DC bubble or their lying eyes?

Happy easter Lee Greenwood! There's NO god to Bless the U.S.A.

God Bless the U.S.A. was written by Lee Greenwood. It's his intellectual property. So it's fair he's mad that Stall Brook Elementary in Bellingham, Massachutes wanted to change the lyrics of the song to "We Love the U.S.A." for an April 12th assembly.

Greenwood made a statement, "Maybe the school should have asked the parents their thoughts before changing the lyrics to the song," Lee says. "They could have even asked the writer of the song, which I of course would have said you can't change the lyrics at all or any part of the song. The most important word in the whole piece of music is the word God, which is also in the title 'God Bless the USA.'

"We can't take God out of the song, we can't take God out of the Pledge of Allegiance, we can't take God off of the American currency," he continues. "Let us also remember, the phrase 'God Bless the USA' has a very important meaning for those in the military and their families, as well as new citizens coming to our country."

First off, beyond his jingoistic, schmaltzy, patronizing songs Lee Greenwood has no other intellectual property because he is riddled with a David Barton understanding of American History.

Barton, is famous for being the go-to-historian of conservatives when they want someone to make up a historical "fact" which coincides with a current position of the Right-Wingers. For instance, Barton proclaimed, "As far as the Founding Fathers were concerned, they’d already had the entire debate over creation and evolution, and you get Thomas Paine, who is the least religious Founding Father, saying you’ve got to teach Creation science in the classroom. Scientific method demands that!"

Yes! A full 70 years before the publication of On the Origin of Species and 40 years before Darwin sailed on the HMS Beagle, the Founders rejected evolution. Even the Lamarackian Evolutionary Theory wasn't published until 1809, the year Thomas Paine died and Charles Darwin was born. I could be charitable and say perhaps Barton wants to claim the Founders were knowledgable of the Taxonomical classifications of Carl Linnaeus, but, that's not what Barton means because David Barton is liar for christ.

As for Greenwood's statements about god and the currency and the Pledge, well, the blight of the Dominionist liars for christ strikes again.

Written in 1892, the original pledge is I pledge allegiance to my Flag and the Republic for which it stands, one nation indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. Hmmmm, looking for god in there... In fact, god wasn't added until 1954.

Paper Currency did not have In god We Trust, until 1957.

Greenwood is a classic Republican, he reimagines American history to fit his blinkered Right-Wing fantasies, he's been married 4 times, and while he talks tough and proud about the American military he dodged the service and Vietnam.

But, hey conservatism isn't concerned with truth but, with a continuously bizarre parade of performance art designed to rouse the limbic systems of the faithful.

The Self-Condtioning of the Conservative Brain

"If you're Poor, Blame Yourself!" - Herman Cain
The Doors of Perception can be fouled easier than cleansed...

Conservatives are a difficult bunch to understand. States which routinely vote for Republicans receive more in Federal tax monies than they pay in Federal Income Tax. Yet, conservatives are vehement in their demand to make severe and deep cuts into the social safety net.

I'm tempted to demand all those who vote Republcians take their shirts off so we can see The Puppetmasters clinging to their backsides.

A New York Times article highlights that amongst the sinking middle class and the very poor there are those who rely heavily upon Government assistance but believe the programs should be eliminated and vote for candidates who propose the biggest cuts in Governmental Aid.

There are many possible reasons for this very odd behavior. But, I believe the three strongest factors are: the Republican Party and the 1% effort to make successful government programs seem as though they aren't actually government programs. First turn the benefit invisible and then eliminate it.

Next, there is the non-stop constant refrain of blaming poor people for their situation. If you aren't wildly successful in America it's due to some inherent flaw or fault in yourself. The despicable Herman Cain epitomized this belief shared by the Right-Wing Elites during those ghastly Republican Debates.

Lastly, this is a case of having been duped and lied to for so long it's easier to believe you weren't actually deceived for decades and are actually holding correct beliefs. Once a conservative no longer needs the propagandist to tell them lies and they lie to themselves they are lost to the Alternate Conservative Reality.

By turning wildly popular and successful government programs invisible, making people internalize guilt, blame and shame about being poor and then force-feeding Right-Wing lies and propaganda until the person doesn't know anything else, the Modern Conservative Movement has enough Americans believing if only the Nation was more conservative and more tilted to the 1% things would be better.

Thus while Piss Down Your Back Reaganomics and the Bush Tax cuts continue to Transfer Wealth to the 1% the conservative has entered a trance like state where they utter right-wing catch phrases as though they are mantras.

Lower Taxes... Lower Taxes... Job Creators... Job Creators... Government Hands Off My Medicare... Ohm...

Repeat the Right-Wing Mantras:Reach Economic Nirvana!

It's clear that for 20-25% of the American people no amount of facts, figures, evidence will ever change their minds. Because their brains are to warped, to damaged by to much Faux News, to many Heritgage Foundation Reports and to much hate.

But, it's the 1% and their Reactionary Mind, which is truly frightening. The True Horror of which has become apparent to millions of Americans.

Do you want to know how dishonest Fox is? Even Fox Sports lies...

Jay Cutler has been very maligned as of late. Before getting to the perfidy of Fox Sports, here's a little about the beating he has taken in the last few years as the Bears QB. In the last 17 games, Jay Cutler has been sacked 63 times. Peyton Manning has been sacked 61 times in his last 64 games. Cutler has already been sacked 11 times this season and knocked down another 17 times, he's on pace to set a dubious NFL record for most QB sacks in a season.

8 months ago in the NFC Championship game Cutler suffered a torn MCL. Torn.

But, what did Fox Sports writer Jason Whitlock do? He wrote a column and stated this emphatically "I don’t need an MRI to confirm King Cutler quit".

Then Whitlock spent hours on 670 The Score yelling at Dan Bernstein and Terry Boers how Back when I played college ball he played a whole season on a torn ACL. Whitlock also told Boers and Bernstein if Cutler had been more demonstrable and more visibly in pain in the game or on the sideline he would have believed Cutler was injured. So basically, if Jay had acted more injured and feigned trying to gut through a bad injury it would have made Whitlock feel more convinced of Cutler's serious injury.

The entire "debate" about Cutler was despicable, but Fox always finds a way to surpass their previous dishonesty and shamelessness and continues the utter lack of any journalistic integrity within the entire Organization.

During the Bears victory over the Falcons on Sept 11, Fox Sports displayed the following headlines:
“Cutler Leaves With Injury”

“Cutler Lacks Courage”

“Cutler’s No Leader”
Then Darryl Johnston relayed “these are the actual headlines from the local papers in Chicago.”

Of course, they are not. The Chicago Tribune called Fox and got the following quotes from Fox Sports spokesman Dan Bell, "It was misleading." "The wrong word was used." "Our attempt was to capture the overall sentiment nationwide following that game.”

I don't know if someone over at Fox has a grudge against Cutler for demanding out of Denver or for failing their fantasy football team. But, the Fox Sports lies and maligning of Jay Cutler did not end with Week 1 but carried over into the Week 2 match up with the New Orleans Saints.

I don't listen to any Fox broadcast preferring Tom Thayer's erudite descriptions and Jeff Joniak's hometown partisanship over at WBBM 780.

So, last week when Fox Sports sent their #1 Team, I muted the tv broadcast from Where is Troy Aikman's Brain? and the inane blatherings of the overrated Joe Buck. So while I saw Fox broadcast I didn't hear what was being discussed until afterwards.

During the game as the Saints were beating the Bears, Fox showed several wide angle shots of Jay Cutler standing alone far away from the rest of the team. Joe Buck wondered 'I don't know why Jay Cutler is standing over there by himself' as Fox continued to hammer away at the Cutler is No Leader meme they have adopted. Finally, Troy Aikman had to halt the constant Cutler bashing by stating, he also watched the game far away from the bench so that he could see the entire field.

This is worse than misleading, this is outright fabrication and lies. But, then, Fox Sports is a subsidiary of Rupert Murdoch's NewsCorp. As Gregg Rosenthal wrote for NBC Sports over at profootballtalk, Why make up headlines when they could just hack into Cutler’s voice mail and create a real one?

Update:
I believe most Bears fans wish Cutler had responded to his critics thusly
