Real Life

Mick is painting a cabinet.  I’m reading Forbes magazine. The crows are chattering in the trees, and the frogs are chorusing in the pond. Lily is laying in front of the fireplace, and yes, it’s still raining.  Everything feels normal, in Surf Pines, Oregon. Although, I’m not writing a blog article at the moment, I am thinking about the one I wrote last night and am about to post, titled  “10 Trump Tidbits”.

Trump Tidbits :

1.) Trump’s new Muslim Travel Ban was blocked today by a 9th Circuit Court judge, in Hawaii.  Causing a breathless Tweet storm from the president Trump.  2.) A surprisingly brave Department of Justice declared, “There’s no evidence, that former President Obama wiretapped Trump Tower”.  3.)  Russian government hackers were charged by the DOJ with cyber attacks on 500,000,000 Yahoo account holders in a 2014 intrusion.  4.) The first two pages of Trump’s 2005 tax return was leaked to the press.  He made $203,000,000 that year placing him in a 25% tax bracket at the time.  5.)  The government estimates that 24-26 million U.S. citizens will lose health care under the proposed “repeal and replace” Republican plan.

And On It Goes:

6.) Trump continues to crisscross the country holding rallies. I wonder how much his ‘campaign’ rallies are costing all of us who didn’t vote for him?  7.) Breitbart furiously attacked the American Health Care Plan, calling on President Trump to scuttle Ryan’s proposed health care plan. Trump meanwhile is still trying to drum up support for the dying plan  8.) Rex Tillerson, the introverted U.S. Secretary of State, is traveling without the American press corp for the first time in modern times.  9.)  A belligerent North Korea shot another missile into the Sea of Japan. 10.)  The shamed former NSA Trump appointee, General Michael Flynn belatedly registered himself as “a foreign agent”.

Lily Time

So, now that we have had another glimpse into Trump World I am ready to get back to my world. Anyone owned by a dog, understands my life. Lily  just dropped her leash at my feet. She has never been subtle. She must have noticed a break in the rain. As my mother would say, “take the dog out”.

14 Emerging Trump Scandals

By D.S. Mitchell

Calamity Politics is a progressive political blog. Our intention here at Calamity Politics is to shed light on the events of the day. We will look at the U.S. political hot button issues, and see if our behind the scenes investigations can offer insight, relevance and engaging conversation.

I was planning on talking about media overload today.  I have been wondering if the American public would tire of having the orange gorilla in their living room every single minute of every single day.  As of this morning, I am convinced that I need not worry about such an event.

Instead, I believe we are going to see a growing crowd assemble.  You know how it is, the train is approaching the collapsed bridge, and you just can’t take your eyes away.  Some of us will be cheering and some will be crying.  That’s politics for you.  I’m just praying, the Republic can survive.

The Scandals

    1. Resignation of retired General Mike Flynn, as National Security Advisor due to his association with Russian government.
    2. Trump’s link to election interventions by Russia.
    3. Resignation of Manafort and his Russian association.
    4. Trump’s bungled Executive Order: “Muslim” Travel Ban.
    5. Kellyanne Conway selling/promoting Ivanka’s fashion line on TV from the White House Briefing Room.
    6. Trump’s refusal to divulge his income taxes.
    7. Trump’s illegal use of his foundation.
    8. Melania Trump’s immigration file.  Possible, felonies and misdemeanors.  Some people are saying she was a call girl?
    9. Trump is an “Unreviewable” President, states White House counselor, Stephen Miller.
    10. Lawsuits against Trump University continue in several states.
    11. President Trump’s lease/contract on the Washington, D.C. Trump hotel.
    12. Trump loading the White House Cabinet with billionaires.
    13. FBI Director Comey and New York FBI office associates of Rudi Giuliani and the  revelation of Clinton emails on Anthony Weiner’s PC.
    14. President Trump’s refusal to divest himself of his worldwide business interests.

So, there you are folks, the down and dirty on the boiling scandals miring this new administration. So, because of Trump’s ridiculous conspiracy theories and his outright lies regarding 3,000,000 illegal voters swinging the popular vote to Hillary Clinton, along with preposterous statements as to the size of his Inaugural crowd size, his vicious and near constant attacks on the press, have convinced me, that we are in for a very bumpy ride. Journalists, bloggers, media outlets I believe President Trump he will do, and say anything, because he knows that the 24/7 news cycle is amenable to short term attention by the audience. So, here we go on the political ride of our lives. I think it will get damn dirty.
