It’s going to be a beautiful day here in New England, and I hate to spoil even two seconds of it mulling over the current state of these Uniteds. Seriously… can you believe all the nonsense currently spinning around in the tornado that is Tr*mpworld?
Regarding the most recent pressuring of another country to investigate his political rival…P*nce had this to say in defense of his President…
P*NCE: “ One of the main reasons we were elected in Washington, DC, was to drain the swamp. And I think the American people have a right to know if the vice president of the United States or his family profited from his position as vice president during the last administration,” he said. “That’s about looking backwards and understanding what really happened.”
That’s absolutely hilarious!! Does he think the American People are so dumb we don’t see the many ways the President of the United States and his family are profiting from his position as the POTUS? That’s about looking at what’s right under our nose and understanding what’s really happening, right now.
Let alone there has been ZERO evidence of any wrong doing by Biden or his son, already investigated.
More Fake News from the Tr*mp Train. Holy shit, talk about the dumbing down of America. I would never in a million years have believed such a corrupt lying egostical maniac could garner such support. Now that he has shown us what he truly is made of, how does ANYONE overlook all the obvious ills. And yet. It’s as if some of our population has decided to stick their fingers in their ears chanting la la la la la la la la la…… instead of looking at the facts. Ignore the Treason, People!… we just have to figure out who the leaker is.
Never again do I want to hear “We need a businessman to run the country instead of politicians”. How’s that working out? Let alone the fact that a lot of his business was shady to begin with! Does being Rich impress them? A pig in a ball gown and tiara is still a pig. And if I hear one more chirp about how well the economy is doing… Ha! The economy has been on the upswing for more than 8 years now, whether we want to look at what’s actually true or not. Ask farmers how they’re making out. And how about that bailout? Much more costly than Obama’s auto industry bailout, and yet Obama was criticized for -socialism-. To be clear, I’m all for helping the farmers out, I believe in some forms assistance, especially when Tr*mp fucked them over in the first place. I’m heartened to see some of them are finally seeing the forest for the trees. The real irony is…. some of Trumps supporters, friends of mine I can attest to… are the very people his policies will never help. They cheer on his hate for immigrants and cling to their love of guns (we all believe we need immigration reform, and no one has been trying to take away your guns) and it appeals to them how he gives everyone permission to be an asshole, because hey, the POTUS is standing up on that podium doing that very thing, telling YOU to do that very thing, and he’s getting away with it. …..All that hate mongering is just false narrative, an excuse to rail against the machine. … and one more thing… Let’s talk about bible thumpers. He could not recite one verse, he’s cheating on every wife he’s had, he’s a self admitting pussy grabber!…. though I’ve heard it said we’ve put God back in the White House.
Man, that’s some strong Orange Koolaid.
What does this guy have to do ? Where’s the line? ……………….
You know what? I feel better now, I’m glad I spit it out. And I’m not worried about who I may have offended with this post, because I’m offended every damned day by that lying, bullying, corrupt, hate mongering piece of shit you’ve elected. He’s like a slap in the face to anyone who believes in decency, integrity, truth, upholding laws and our constitution. May he get what he deserves.
Hi Karen:
I’m one of those guilty blog followers who hardly ever posts a comment. Though I thought I should drop you a note to say your blog posts are real and wonderful. I especially enjoy the beautiful photos and stories about your historic home and family. It reminds me a bit of home (Country side in Germany).
All the best,
Nancy
Thank you so much for the kind words, Nancy! And for stopping by This Old House now and again. My next post won’t be so cynical, lol. 🙂
Don’t apologize, Karen. You’re spot on, and New Yorkers have been on to him all along.
Love your blog. As a life-long urbanite, this old house is a trip to the country, a breath of fresh air.

as a fellow New Yorker born and raised, I know of which you speak. I’ll have to check out your website! Thanks for stopping by…
AMEN!!! I couldn’t have said it better myself!!
And Amen again, Bobbie – thanks for stopping by.
Hello,
LOL at the ” The Four Treasons” . Perfect name for them. T.ump is not able to tell the truth I believe I heard him say so himself. He is profiting big time being the worst president ever.
I also liked “The Pretenders”. and ” The Clash”.
Sigh. What a mess.
The Trumpers I know hate him personally but love that the SCOTUS has two new conservative judges. Really Red Alabama loves him. I live in Blue Jefferson County. We’re the minority for sure.
He’s immoral, racist, dumb as a stalk of celery.
I fear even now he’ll be reelected.
*sigh*
Lord I hope not. He made a BIGly mistake with the Kurds. and you never know what might surface about him next. What a nut case.
Every day a new outrage. And the more the Repubs lie and cheat people, the most his ‘base’ loves him. They must be masochists with no love of Democracy. Wish we could take away his Twitter account.
Isn’t it just bizarre? sad. that.
If I didn’t know better I would honestly believe that you were inside of my head!!! I could not have said any of this any better.
Well Barb, say it here any time you wish 🙂 Thank you for stopping by.
Amen! I wish I was as eloquent as you. I’m truly afraid for this country.
So am I, Jo. so am I.
Damn that felt good just to read.. made me feel as if I was ranting right along side you; so thank you <3
Always a pleasure to see you here, Suzan – hope all is going well for you with the pending… move? downsize? staycation? LOL.. you know what I mean.
I apologize from my heart that I’ve missed so many of your posts, Karen. I’m not sure why they aren’t showing up on my feed. Nevertheless, I agree with Suzan. You have put into words the way I feel. I hope that more and more T*ump supporters begin to see as his self serving corruption as it unravels before our eyes.
Don’t be silly, Jane! We’re all crazy busy – just want to be sure it’s OK to share your recipes… in my next post with a link to your blog.
Well stated and I couldn’t agree more. It gets worse and worse with every passing day.
Who would have thought… ugh.
You’re brave. I wrote about this in a very oblique, allegorical way and nobody caught on. About how people disrespect ethics and then twist things to say “well both sides are to blame,” when one is hugely (bigly?) wrong and the other maybe should have made more of an effort on appearances. Not equivalent at all.
I remember the outrage about Obama, but the basis for it was very different–it was simply the color of his skin, not anything he did. Or if it was something he did, it was giving similarly non-white people the audacity to consider themselves equal. That’s what it boils down to this time–the central non-issue of immigration is just racism. And, as in the past, it can excuse everything else.
Well said, my friend. I’m not brave so much as truly heartbroken for this country.
AGREE 100 % with every word you wrote. Alas! I think we are lost!
He’s burning down the house. The republican party in the Reagan era stood for family values and fiscal conservatism. Now it stands for subterfuge, lies, money laundering, nepotism, extortion, strong-arming, and disloyalty. Many more words to use here, but it’s very early and I’m still drinking that first cuppa. Every time I see something and think, “Okay! Now the hammer will come down,” nothing happens. I fear the #idiotinchief was correct when he said months ago that he could shoot someone in the streets of New York and get away with it. He just had a rally here in Minnesota this past Thursday and it was attended by 20,000 people! I watched as much as I could stomach on CNN, but grew ashamed thinking this is how we’re perceived as a country now. By this blowhard with the vocabulary of a still-developing 12 year-old boy and the comic skills of . . . of . . . Comparisons escape me. I’m exhausted and disheartened. The underlying racism and white extremist behavior is beyond everything I grew up believing. When I was little I would exclaim all the time how lucky I was to be living in the United States. How we were the beacon of good. Now we’re the lightening rod for . . . I can’t even write what I want to because I’m feeling offensive phrases bubbling up. Karen! Bless you for your words always. Good job and I’m listening. xxoo
Felt good to read!
Thanks so much for this post. So many bloggers are afraid to say anyone and offend them… I just found your blog and will definitely stay!
