Right Wing Radical Repugnican Vote Buying With Federal Money

While it still has to be approved by the House of Representatives and signed by the TRAITOR Trump, the US Senate approved a $2trillion dollar Corona Virus assistance bill last night, March 24, 2020, and sent it to the House. TRAITOR Trump and his Right Wing Radical Repugnican co-conspirators must be held responsible for their disastrous handling of the entire response to the Corona Virus pandemic.  It is now being reported that most of the Repugnican governors in the nation are also speaking out against the asinine and ignorant idea being espoused by TRAITOR Trump that we can send the work force back to work by Easter which is less than three weeks away.  Also, Governor Andrew Cuomo of New York has stated that the payment in the bill of $3.8billion to his state cannot begin to cover the anticipated cost of at least $15billion which the virus eradication and treatment effort will cost. 
House Speaker Pelosi has stated to the press that the House will consider the bill.  Her official statement said: “House Democrats will now review the final provisions and legislative text of the agreement to determine a course of action.”  Based on what I have seen in the news media, the bill appears to be in many ways both a giveaway to several segments of business and a blatant attempt by #MoscowMitch McConnell, TRAITOR Trump, and the Repugnican party to buy votes with federal money.  It also includes a provision for most lower and middle class citizens to receive a payment of $1,200 for each adult and an additional $500 for each child in a household. But the publicized economic thresholds for eligibility to receive this cash subsidy actually extend all the way to $99,000 per individual and $198,000 per couple with an additional $500 per child per household thrown into the deal.  Those numbers are far too high to be realistic.  Any single person making $99,000 per year or any couple making $198,000 per year who are in financial trouble now are simply in that condition based on prior bad management of their money and not primarily due to the Corona Virus. It would have been far more rational and effective if the income limits had bene lowered to something near $50,000 per individual and $100,000 per couple and then added the money saved to the payments to those lower income families up to about $4,000 or $5,000 per family and $700 per child in each household.  This issuance of federal financial assistance to suffering famiies is a good thing on the face of it; but, it is still an attempt to mitigate anger toward TRAITOR Trump, #MoscowMitch McConnell, and the Repugnican party due to their having so horribly screwed up the response to the Corona Virus pandemic.  It is simply an attempt to apply a Bandaid to family suffering which is greater and to buy votes with federal money from those recipients who are gullible enough to fall for the lie and the bribe. Ever since this issue of possible federal financial assistance has been discussed, I have suggested that all of us who are financially stable and receive a check immediately donate the amount of that check to one of the following entities: the campaign office of the Democratic presidential nominee, the Senate Democratic Campaign Committee, the House Democratic Campaign Committee, or the national Democratic party in order to help regain control of all three branches of government.

As I understand what I have read so far about this bill, it does contain one key provision which I am certain the Democratic senators and congress people probably had to fight tooth and nail in order to win. That provision states that TRAITOR Trump, his businesses, and his family members and their businesses, along with members of the house and senate cannot receive any of the loans which it makes available to both large and small businesses.  This provision is also an aspect of the bill which I sure the Democratic senators and congress members had to fight tooth and nail to get. If this bill had been passed by both houses of congress and signed into law without that provision, it would have served to further reward TRAITOR Trump for his TREASON and his disastrous responses to this pandemic.  Every American voter needs to make sure to drag themselves to the polls whenever the November 2020 presidential election takes place and vote to send a rational human being to the White House to protect this country for further disasters being perpetrated by TRAITOR Trump, his Russian Master Vladimir Putin, his family, and his Right Wing Radical Repugnican co-conspirators.

A Very Dangerous But Very Necessary Time In America!





Yesterday, September 24, 2019, Speaker of The US House of Representative Nancy Pelosi announced that the House is finally going to begin impeachment proceedings against Donald Trump due to the attempt to cover up a whistle blower report concerning his efforts in a telephone call to coerce the President of Ukraine to institute an investigation against former Vice President Joe Biden and his son, Hunter. The contents of that whistle blower's report clearly seem to show an attempt by Donald Trump to force the Ukrainian president to conduct a criminal investigation of Joe Biden which was presaged by a blockage of millions of dollars in military aid to Ukraine before the telephone call.  That blockage of military aid was clearly an axe hanging of the head of the Ukrainian president. The transcript of that telephone call, which might have been edited or pruned by White House staff to remove even more clearly damaging statements, was released to the press by the White House in an attempt to stay ahead of the rapidly moving chain of events since Speaker Pelosi's announcement. This attempt to coerce a foreign leader to criminally investigate a former Vice President of the United States during an election campaign in which Joe Biden is the leading opponent of the current illegal and treasonous occupant of the White House is the final straw which forced the House Speaker to take an action which should have begun on November 9, 2017. Sufficient evidence existed even then to warrant a criminal investigation of Trump and his connections to Russia.  The transcript of the call to the Ukrainian president, regardless of any White House editing which might have occurred, still revealed that Donald Trump actually offered to have the Attorney General and the Justice Department assist Ukrainian officials in such an investigation. That is clearly an abuse of power. There has always been sufficient evidence of multitudinous crimes by Donald Trump both before and after he was allowed to illegally and treasonously occupy the White House to convict him of a plethora of charges ranging from criminal business activities and federal tax evasion all the way to treason and acting as an unlicensed foreign agent.  This impeachment is long overdue.
Due to the deep and unrepentant criminal nature of Donald Trump and the entire coterie of people around him, this has now become the most dangerous time in American history since the Civil War.  There has never been a time in the life of Donald Trump when he was not willing to commit any crime which was remotely capable of getting him his way even briefly in any situation.  It is readily apparent that he will go to any lengths to save his treasonously gained hold on power and avoid the possibility of criminal conviction and a life sentence without parole which is the only just punishment for his crimes against America and American Democracy.  He is capable of starting an unjustified war with a country such as Iran if he believes it will help him avoid impeachment, indictment, prosecution, conviction, and imprisonment for his crime spree against America and the world.   He is perfectly capable of giving US state secrets to any foreign power which would assist him in avoiding consequences for his actions. There is literally no crime which he is not willing to commit and the past fifty years have shown that he has already committed most of those crimes in cases which involved far less serious consequences to this traitor.  US military and intelligence officials must be unceasingly vigilant in the ensuing period until the impeachment process is complete and Trump is safely in custody in a federal prison in order that US intelligence secrets are kept safe and to protect the country from further treason by Donald Trump.  While this impeachment process grinds slowly to its inevitable conclusion that he is guilty, this traitor is capable of taking irreversible actions which could well lead to the destruction of the country, the irreparable destruction of its intelligence community abroad, the deaths of numerous covert US agents, and other permanent consequences which can only be imagined today.  Until he is impeached, indicted, convicted, and imprisoned for his crimes, the USA is in the greatest danger it has been in since the darkest days of the Civil War.  Donald Trump must be impeached.  He must be criminally indicted.  He must be criminally convicted.  He must be imprisoned and never leave the institution in which he is held until he has successfully completed a life sentence without parole.  The US congress,  the entire American intelligence community, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the questionable US Supreme Court must all  do their duty to protect the country and remove this traitor from any further opportunities to destroy American Democracy.
