GOP HEADED FOR EXTINCTION AS HILLARY CEMENTS HER NOMINATION!

Well that sucked yesterday didn't it? Bernie got shellacked because half of the youth electorate stayed home and black people decided that sending black youth to jail for no reason was in their best interest to continue forever. If Hillary wins, which right now is around 80% chance of happening, nothing will change. The status quo will continue, a status quo that is also completely untenable. This country's end looms and voters from both sides of the aisle are responsible.

Let's start with the democrats first. Hillary won big and, no matter what you hear from Bernie who has the money to continue until the convention, she is 100% going to be the nominee now. For anyone black or young, especially those that either voted for her or stayed home, you get NO right to complain when things stay exactly where they are now. No more bitching about black lives matter. If you did, you would have voted for Bernie. No complaining about the price of tuition. It's not going down any time soon. Universal health care? Dead. Legal weed from the Federal level? Not going to happen any time soon? A livable wage? Not going to happen. Thanks to black and young America and a hearty FUCK OFF from the rest of us.

The probability that race relations are about to sink lower than at any point in decades is inevitable as well. Bernie could have kept this race somewhat civil even if Trump turns out to be the nominee which at this point is no longer guaranteed. Hillary will stoop to every dirty trick to win and sling mud with the best of them. Regardless of the nomination, Trump isn't going anywhere as he will definitely run as an independent if he doesn't get the nod. The ads that say, Trump, Hillary and some unknown Republican establishment run are going to make black people look like savages as a newly reborn insurgence of racism is taking place and one in which black people deserve some of the blame.

I regularly associate with people from the lower classes. Oddly, I find many of them smarter than people I know with Masters degrees who vote for Republicans for no sane reason. But my point here is that for all the years I have known them, they have never been racist and still aren't for the most part. But a lot of them have been racial attacked in some way, shape or form BY black people, something I myself can personally attest to. Black people are becoming way more racist lately and it's making white people very angry. No race or sex is better than another. It's why I don't like the feminist movement which I find to be more about superiority than equality. The same goes for things like Black Lives Matter which instead of highlighting the very real deaths at the hands of an out of control police force, they are subjected to race only ideas, somehow unaware that white and Hispanic people are also dying from cop attacks, albeit in smaller numbers but still happening. It is this idiotic form of separation that is preventing us from getting any real reform along with an insane desire for self destruction as seen by voting patterns this past Tuesday.

Trump crushed Rubio out of the race, lost to Kasich in Ohio and now looks likely a brokered convention is possible, the first one since 1976. In that year Reagan lost to Ford, which in retrospect was probably a terrible idea as he was a disaster of a candidate giving us Jimmy Carter, a great human and a terrible president. His domestic ideas were actually not horrible and he was capable of getting people to make peace who never would before, but his handling of the Iran crisis is still having reverberations today. The point here is contested conventions usually go badly and this one could be game changing.

The Republican party is about to die. It was only a matter of time because a coalition of establishment types, religious idiots and the fucking Tea Party was never going to last. And regardless of how things turn out, the GOP is done after this November. Here are three ways this could go: 1)Trump wins the nomination and gets crushed in the general election. 2)Trump loses the nomination, goes third party and Hillary becomes President anyway. 3)GOP nominates someone else, Trump stays home and so does half the electorate pissed at the Republicans for another sellout. None of these spell good things for any Republican nominee short of a terrorist attack or economic tail spin.

The GOP is going to fracture at this point because the establishment keeps trying to sell the public things they absolutely do not want. Paul Ryan, who along with Condi Rice, Mitt Romney and, wait for it, Jeb Bush are being mentioned as possible candidates for president in a contested election. One GOP official publicly said that the GOP picks the nominee, not the voters and he couldn't understand why we had to go with all this stupid democracy crap. He almost literally said all of that. As they pick whoever they want if no one gets the nod, how happy will Trump supporters be when they deny him the spot? Expect riots the likes of which you have never seen and, most likely, violent attacks against politicians by the less stable.

Paul Ryan recently dusted off the same exact budget he has been trying to sell for what seems like forever and it was so pointless that even fellow Republicans refused to vote on it, killing it for what had to be the millionth time. These assholes keep trying to tell people that Social Security and Medicare are bad, yet no one on either side of the aisle is asking for less money for recipients. And this is the guy they think can win against Hillary.

Hillary will all come down to VP nod. Pick someone like Liz Warren or Bernie Sanders and she will sweep the election and possible give the Senate and maybe even the House back to the democrats. This is her only sure win position. Pick someone like awful and establishment friendly like Debbie Wasserman Schultz and face the possibility of President Trump.

Here in NH they have already started running attack ads against Kelly Ayotte, linking her to obstructionism and Donald Trump mercilessly. It was a brutal ad. These are going to be run nationwide soon and I doubt the GOP will survive it barring some outside action of Hillary's awful VP pick. The game will be won or lost on what Hillary does there. The GOP the best they can hope for is not to lose so badly their party dies with it. It is unlikely to survive in it's current state regardless.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: DONALD TRUMP!

It was a close one between the two presidential front runners but Trump's fascist rise overtakes Hillary and her nonsense that has hit epic proportions. If you have any doubt that this country is toast, watch the Trump rallies devolve into basest human instincts for violence and confrontation. If we have Trump versus Hillary in the end, a lot of people are probably going to sit home, allowing the worst people to run our government and ourselves into the ground. If you are not voting for Bernie, our only hope regardless of what the MSM and sites like Cannonfire are spouting, you're voting for fascism, which both sides now seem to accept either willingly or subversively. Anyone with a brain will know which is which. The polls say Sanders is more electable, will draw in new voters rather than shed them like a wet dog and actually try to make this nation better. The other two, as well as pretty much anyone on the GOP side, will kill us all. Don't vote to end America. There is way too much at stake here to be flippant with your vote. Let's see those runner ups in our dying world.

10)Wounded Warriors- When I worked as a reporter, I did several stories about Wounded Warriors and the good they did. That was seven years ago, and since then, the new CEO's were instead running this charity into the ground. The CEO and COO were fired this week after reports of lavish spending came to light, using 50% of their revenue on expensive parties and trips. I had heard this last year from some veterans I know who said they knew first hand that this charity was no longer on the up and up and I had found nothing to support their allegations until just recently, just before the story broke wide. This is why I never give to any charity I am not sure how the money is spent. A lot of them are scams now. And I do mean A LOT! Donate at your own risk.

9)Chiptole- Anyone who still eats here is too dumb to live. Yet another restaurant here in MA was closed after an outbreak of Norovirus which so far has only sickened three employees. Why are just Chiptole employees even coming down with Norovirus? It's not like McDonald's or Subway has seen these kind of problems, so why just this one restaurant chain? Who eats at a place where there is a good chance you are going to get explosive diarrhea from? How dumb is America? The top two executives saw their pay dropped by almost half because stock prices have plummeted, as well as sales, showing not all of this country is dangerously stupid. I want to stand outside one, filming people going in, as I laugh hysterically. This is why Trump will be our next President and God help us all then.

8)ISIS- I HATE FUNDAMENTALISTS! No matter the religion, these people suck. This week, Muslim extremists took a serious blow for their cause when a flash drive containing 20,000 names of suspected terrorists was given to the US by a defector. Preliminary studies suggest it is accurate, containing names from the French attackers and others known to be Islamic extremists. The defector was disillusioned by the amount of rape and murder and brutality he watched and decided to escape, smuggling the data out of his baby's diaper. This could be a fatal blow to a real group of douchebags. I find it funny that Obama this week took out a training camp just as a new group of recruits was graduating. "Yeah, we are terrorists and I can't wait to attack the Great Satan and what is that whistling noise?" KABOOM! Grow up and realize that religion is a lie to keep you enslaved.

7)Jessica Alba- I have always liked Alba. She may not be the best actress but she is fine in the right role and very easy on the eyes. Lately, she has also been a good business woman for the company she founded, Honest Co., which turned out to be the most ironic name she could have found. She built her reputation of herself and this company on being accurate about their ingredients, especially the fact that her laundry soap contains no sodium lauryl sulfates, which she is allegedly allergic to, Then the WSJ did two separate studies with two different companies and both came back that the detergent was loaded with SLS. Oops. She is also facing a lawsuit by people who used her sunscreen and apparently it did nothing but burn these people to a crisp. Maybe you should stick to acting because this looks bad.

6)North Korea- This ass is going to get himself and a lot of other people killed. This week he threatened the West with a pre-emptive nuclear strike, and even though chances are good most of the missiles would either blow up on the launch pad or fall into the sea, he would still face nuclear annihilation by a pissed off US. He doesn't know when to quit. Photos of him around a "nuke" look staged and the bomb appears to be a relic from the set of Dr. No. There is also a missing sub, which is presumed to have sunk somewhere as it is basically a toy with a two man crew. Allegedly, he can fire missiles from these things, but experts say the footage looks fake. But it has gotten so bad that even the Russians told Kim Jung Un to shut the hell up or risk a certain death as the Chinese joined in a unanimous vote at the UN to put even more sanctions against NK, including the stopping of all ships to and from the country. These guys are on borrowed time.

5)Ted Cruz- I understand why people are voting for Trump. He may be Hitler come to life but that is also why he is so appealing. Hitler didn't just show up and take over power. He was voted in. However, Trump is nothing compared to how dangerous Cruz is. Turns out his father is a Pentecostal Minister and possibly a Dominionist, which is a scary offshoot of Catholicism like Opus Dey. The Dominionist believes that the US should be a theocracy, using the Bible rather than the rule of law to decide people's fates. They also think the rich are better than the poor as "god" has blessed them for some reason and the poor are the way they are because of sin. They are one of the worst forms of religion on the planet, way worse than your average Muslims or Jew, regardless of what you think about non-Christian religions. Not only that, but this week, douchebag hired Neil Bush to his financial team. This is the same brother of W. that caused the Savings and Loan scandal back in the 80's and cost taxpayers billions of dollars. Great hire. Who's next? Bill Cosby for your anti-rape campaign, maybe? Bristol Palin for an abstinence PSA? If this ass somehow gets into the high office. we will have months before the country is a ruin. Stop voting for idiots, America. It's literally killing us.

4)Mitch McConnell- Speaking of douchebags that should have been voted out of office had Debbie Wasserman Schultz not given the election to the GOP in Kentucky, this dork is back in the news again. Turns out, McConnell has not only been stalling the Supreme Court nominee, he's been doing the same for Federal judge-ships for years. One such opening in TN has been vacant since July 2015 overtaxing the poor people who have to pick up the slack there. As a matter of fact, turtle-man has only allowed 16 postions to be filled over the last 14 months and have stalled the rest. This is not what America wants yet he pays no price for it because idiots are reflexively voting for a D or an R without really seeing what it would mean. To be fair, democrats are more likely to vote Republican than vice versa showing at least some common sense, rather than utter retards who keep putting people like Brownback, Walker and Scott back into office even though they ruined the states they ran. Mitch McConnell has an approval rating of 11% nationwide and even Kentucky people seem to regret the fact they voted for this ass and a Tea Party moron for governor. Enjoy eating dirt when your economy collapses dumbasses.

3)John McGraw- This 79 year old asshole sucker punched a black protester at a Trump rally recently. Even worse, he was quoted on camera saying that next time, people like that should be killed. Really? For protesting someone who should be protested against? In America where protesting is part of our culture? You sir, are a dick and the first asshole who should be deported. I hope you spend some time behind bars to see what black people think of you there.

2)Hillary Clinton- What a train wreck candidate she is turning out to be? After a stinging loss in Michigan, we can only hope that smarter minds have prevailed and this is the beginning of the end of her Highness. This week, she derided Bernie Sanders for not sticking up for her when she tried her ill fated health care plan back in 1994, killed effectively by Republicans who feared that it working would undermine their credibility (sound familiar?). Unfortunately for her, video, her archenemy, showed Bernie standing behind her as she delivered her speech about the new plan. Oops. Then, she keeps harping about ending gun liability laws that if enacted would bankrupt not only the gun industry, but any organization that had no shield laws. Hit by a drunk driver? Sue Ford. Choke on a cornflake? Sue Kellogg's. This has no good end and her insane desire to be President is obvious, turning to ideas that even Donald Trump isn't for. This is why primary voting is so important people. If our final choices are this douche and Trump, it's not much of one. Either way, this country probably ends quick.

1)Donald Trump- The fact that Trump is still the best candidate says lots of how bad the GOP is. Republicans complained for months how much they hated everyone, and instead on listening that the party had moved too far right, they went even further. And now Trump has crossed the line from extremism into fascism with his out of control crowd attacking protesters and behaving like racists. One picture has an old woman doing the Heil Hitler at a recent rally. Really? McGraw, from above punched a guy for no reason and wasn't even arrested until later even though several cops saw the whole thing. To roughly quote At the Mouth of Madness "When does this become religion to his supporters? And are his followers dangerous?" Allegedly, leftist protesters in Chicago shot a black Trump supporter as well showing escalation on both sides. The left and the right appear to be on a collision course with destiny. Trump riles up his crowds with dangerous talk and then acts surprised when they act on it. You can't tell people to hurt protesters and then act like it wasn't your fault. Earlier this week, Trump acted like such a shill talking about all his great products that are still for sale (in response to an attack by Rubio) and that he owns 100% of all the products, none of which turned out to be true and ignored by the MSM something fierce. Trump steaks are long gone, his magazine is only found in his country clubs and is nothing more than a high end Sky Mall, and his wine is not owned by him in any way. Thanks to shows like Full Frontal and the Daily Show, doing real investigative reporting, discovered all of that as the TV news went on about some cat who could cry like a baby. That is not more important than this, even if it was adorably cute. No Republican can win the White House, but I am equally dismayed that Hillary will be in there either. If Bernie falls the nomination as I expect, I honestly can't say I won't vote Trump at that point if for no other reason than that he may end this country quicker than her. It may be time to burn this country to the ground and voting for either of these two losers is a good start. So congratulations, Donald Trump, you are indeed douchebag of the week.

MICHIGAN UPSET FOR BERNIE AS DONALD RACKS UP MORE VOTES! THE WEIRDEST ELECTION EVER CONTINUES!

This has been one hell of an election season. On one side, we have progressives duking it out with the Establishment and it's it not a sure thing either way. On the other hand, we have the Establishment being shut out of the room as hyperactive, mentally challenged idiots throw poo at one another. What is going on?

Bernie Sanders got a surprise win in Michigan as polls proved to be very, very wrong. Hillary was set to win by at least twenty points and then lost by two. A statistical anomaly that some are starting to take into account is the reason in that young people actually showed up in greater numbers here. As younger voters are less likely to take part in landline only surveys, polls will automatically skewer older and center right. In some states, like here in MA, young people didn't vote enough to alter the final tally. In Michigan however, young people showed up in droves and that gave the win to Bernie. This is something I have been saying for months now and the MSM is finally taking notice of that.

This means that if young people get off their lazy asses AND VOTE we still can have Bernie Sanders as our candidate who is the most likely to win against ANY GOP candidate. Polls show Hillary and Sanders both whoop Trump but she is neck and neck with Rubio and Cruz and actually loses bad to Kasich. Sanders beats all of them by wide margins. He is the more electable of the two regardless of what the media has been lying to you about.

The GOP continues to act like spoiled brats and tonight's debate will be awful I am sure and will not be watching. I just can't take any more as it seems to take days to get that shit taste out of my mouth after watching these four retards speak. WHO is voting for any of these guys at this point? Trump is Hitler, Cruz is the Anti-Christ, Rubio is 12, and Kasich is just too damn boring. In all honesty, none of these guys are likely to win, even if Hillary is the nominee, if no other reason than the attack ads that will run non-stop will be brutal against any anti-establishment candidate.

Obstructionism is hurting them bad and now it comes out that not only is douchebag turtle-man, Mitch McConnell, not giving in having a hearing for a new Supreme Court judge, he's been doing the same at local levels. One federal judge opening in Tennessee has been open since July of 2015 which McConnell has refused to hold hearings for, which should be against the law. This is creating a backlog of cases and a huge burden on the federal courtroom system, doubling the amount of work the judges and support staff have to do. How is that fair? How many people are getting screwed to a speedy trial because this ass is addicted to power. Mitch McConnell is a stain on society and fuck you very much to any idiot who actually voted for this dick. I hope you all get cancer in the worst places.

Voting Republican is asinine at this point. Can anyone honestly say they think any of these guys are fit to serve the highest office in the land? Hell no. I hate Hillary and even I think she would be better than any of these assholes. Don't get my wrong, I still think she will screw us blue, but I am hoping wiser heads prevail and the democrats kick out losers like Debbie Wasserman Schultz who I have no idea how she is doing in her primary challenge because God forbid we get real news in this country. I can dream that she will lose and we get someone else in her place.

Just not voting Republican isn't enough. We also need to get rid of any DINO politician as well and start getting real progressives in there. This country needs a radical change and that is something we all agree on. It's the what change we want that there are radical differences about.

COLIN POWELL, NANCY REAGAN AND WHY I HAVE SUCH HATRED FOR THE REPUBLICAN PARTY!

Many conservatives are horrified by the vitriol being given to people like Scalia and Nancy Reagan hours after the deaths, completely unaware that these two fuckwads, and thousands more just like them, have done real and lasting damage to this country that literally killed millions of people. No one looks back at dictators like Pol Pot or Hitler fondly, why should their compatriots not suffer the same fate? Does anyone look at Herman Goering or Joseph Goebbels and think "if it wasn't for Hitler, these guys wouldn't have been such monsters?" Of course not. They were pathological regardless and so are a lot of the Republican party which at this point aren't even trying to disguise their contempt for American values and their desire for a fascist takeover. Who is voting for these idiots?

A lot of polls are starting to show people turned off by the schoolroom antics by the front runners and this could lead to a shellacking in the 2016 election for them. The funniest part is that poll after poll in even the most Republican state show that they HATE the idea of further obstructionism on the Supreme Court with even a large majority of them supporting Obama on this. Let that sink in. Mitch McConnell approval ratings have sunk back into the barely double digit range, hovering around 11-15% nationwide because of his behavior. It is also crippling eight close races where Republican approvals are sinking fast. John McCain and Kelly Ayotte are just two of eight vulnerable seats now that shouldn't have been competitive, even a cake walk, but GOP interference is sinking their chances. Way to go Mitch McConnell. Who need Trump to destroy your party when you guys are doing a bang up job on your own.

It is still way too early though to predict victory for the democrats when there are still so many variables to take into account. An economic crash or terrorist attack could swing the dial red, just as whoever the nominee for the left is, Hillary unfortunately it looks like, their pick for VP will make or break them. One of the reasons Liz Warren may not have endorsed Bernie or Hillary is she is waiting for the winner to emerge and ask her to be VP which would be the smartest thing either could do. It would all but guarantee a landslide victory for the democrats as people would come out of the woodwork to vote for a double women team (or a double progressive bill if Bernie pulls out a miracle) with an establishment person and a progressive on the ticket as well as a vote against whoever the other sides goes with, most likely Trump. This scenario could lose them the Senate and even the House and maybe give the democrats enough rope to hang themselves with. This will be their chance to show they can fix things that the other side flamed out when they held all the cards. Why does no one remember that?

It is this level of divergence that is truly frightening in today's society. How can no one remember how bad things were under Bush? Does no one read history to see how awful Reagan's policies were? Some of us grew up under Reagan and while he did do some good, most of his domestic policies were the worst. He should have been impeached for Iran/Contra which had it happened today, especially if Obama did it, the other side would have been sharpening their knives for the execution. The democrats are giant pussies when it comes to this, ignoring Bush's impeachment for war crimes that should have gone through had it not been Pelosi not wanting to get her hands dirty. Meanwhile the Republicans scream TRAITOR for the even most innocuous action. This has to stop.

We have to look back at history not with rose colored glasses but with sober reasoning. Nancy Reagan and her husband were not some conservative's wet dream that ushered a new era of prosperity and peace into our lives. His economic actions bankrupted this country to such an extent that we are still feeling the effects today. His tax plans of trickle down economics, otherwise known as the pissing on you theory, is a proven failure not having worked anywhere on Earth where it has been tried. Corporations and rich people started grabbing all the money they could while telling people not a billionaire that their riches were coming any day now. We've been waiting for that fantasy for forty years now and at least people on the right are tired of hearing it, thus the rise of Trump. There is no economic recovery and there plan will not usher one in anytime soon. Trump for all his faults, is better than anyone else on the right for recognizing that.

Nancy Reagan started that crap "Just Say NO!" action which helped lead to more and more draconian laws that were cruel and unusual for drug users. Worse, we spent trillions of dollars doing this abstinence only program. The end effect has been zero. And, millions of people, mostly black and Hispanic have lost their lives over it these past few decades. Thank Nancy for that. You helped kill more black people than Hurricane Katrina, Papa Doc and diabetes combined. On top of that, you helped destroy minority families by incarcerating tens of millions which we the tax payers got to subsidize.

Here's the kicker: if we had just legalized pot in the first place and decriminalized the rest, we wouldn't have a black lives matter movement, we almost certainly would have created hundreds of thousands of new jobs and raised tax revenues rather then depleting them. We know this because in places like Portugal, this is exactly what occurred. Instead, we spent a fortune that worked every bit as well as sex abstinence programs which studies show lead to HIGHER teen pregnancies.

Because of legal weed in some states and medical in others, Mexican drug cartels are shipping less into the country and losing a lot of money in the process. Isn't that what we should be doing? We know from history that legalizing alcohol again destroyed the mob's power that they never fully recovered ever again. Arresting people just creates a vacuum. The new El Chapo is out there as long as there is money to be made. Get rid of the supply however by taking it for yourself, and eliminate them once and for all. But that makes way too much sense for our idiot, greedy politicians who are making a fortune off our backs because of this. Nancy Reagan was every bit as bad as her husband and I for one am glad the old bag is dead. I just wish she could have taken someone like Mitch McConnell with her.

Then there is Colin Powell who came out and called the current GOP candidates childish and immature. Whatever this man's opinion is matters not one whit to me. My parents knew Colin Powell and have met with him many times. They say he is intelligent and personable. I also think he is a traitor to this country who should be behind bars for war crimes. His lies to the UN convinced me that invading Iraq was a good idea. While I hated W., I also knew Powell to be a man of honor and would never lie this blatantly to the American people, so I backed it. I was wrong and this asshole was responsible for it. Almost everything he said was a lie. So his opinion means squat to me. He should just go away and like Nancy Reagan, I will dance when this fucker dies.

We should celebrate when some atrocious individual goes belly up. Scalia was a human stain on the Supreme Court who single handedly destroyed this nation with his rulings and fostered an incompetent president on us for greed and power. Nancy Reagan helped kill and ruin more black people than any gun violence stat could. And Colin Powell broke the world with his lies. We need more people willing to tell the truth, thus the rise of Sanders and to a lesser extent Trump. These career pathological liars, on the other hand, have to go.

Vote Bernie and Trump in all upcoming elections. There is no other choice. And then pray Bernie wins for all of our sakes.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: THE REPUBLICAN PARTY

At this point, you have to seriously wonder just how dumb someone has to be to vote for any of the Republican candidates. Not that Hillary is any great prize but let's be fair, at least she acts Presidential, even if that involves lying through her teeth 90% of the time. But she is also not demanding Bernie Sanders smell her taint while she makes fun of the size of his penis like almost all of the Republicans are doing. The Republican party is in full on destruct mode, all caused by their own short sightedness and desire for power, resulting in a racist Frankenstein with Tourette's rampaging through the countryside, a fat Dracula feasting on people's fears, pro choice activists and common sense, a Cuban Wolfman who turns gay when the moon comes out and the Invisible Man from Ohio. Is this really the best they could come up with? And a lot of you are voting with their own free will for one of these monsters? Sigh. Let's see those runner ups.

10) Nancy Reagan- Some of you will find this offensive and I do NOT care but I am truly happy this witch is dead. Yes, the devil came for this waste of human space at the tender age of 94, removing her sour puss from the Earth. I can hear you ask "Why such venom for a person who was just a First Lady?" And to that I give you "Just Say No!" This campaign of hers started to fuel the out of control drug war that is still killing people, mostly black and poor, to this day. NO first lady did more damage to the US than this bitch and her idiot husband. Ronald Reagan's legacy is one of horror to those who can actually read and understand history, rather than the cult of personality that has emerged since. If you want to blame all the ills that the GOP is having, they all come back to these two and their disastrous terms. His wife can join him burning in agony as I am sure they are, for the millions of deaths they are personally responsible for. Excuse me while I dance.

9)MA Voters- My county in Worcester overwhelmingly went for Sanders as did the Berkshires and North of Boston. What didn't were all the rich areas like Boston and the Cape which swung the dial the other way and gave the win to Hillary, albeit by less than 2 percentage points, which made it more of a tie. Young people stayed home in droves (Fuck you very much for that, you sniveling crybullies) and minorities all went Hillary, proving the Democrats are not much smarter than the Republicans now. Hillary is more vulnerable than Bernie as multiple polls suggest, but as I am guessing most of these mouth-breathers barely read, and just went for the closest vagina they could vote for. If Trump is not the nominee, pray he runs as a third party candidate because she loses to everyone BUT him right now. Much like Trump, there are a lot of people that will not vote for her no matter what and we cannot have a President Ted Cruz because there is no way off the planet to be safe from that.

8)Caitlyn Jenner- I HATE the Kardashians and anyone connected with them. Kanye and "Caitlyn" can both go to hell too. But as mad as Kanye makes me, I at least understand his psychosis. Caitlyn Jenner is a bundle of idiocy who I am still not convinced this isn't some weird publicity stunt by dressing up as a woman. This week, this cross gender moron is not only still a Republican, he supports Ted Cruz. This is the same Ted Cruz that if elected President would take away every right from Caitlyn Jenner he can, proving my point that he really ISN'T transgender at all, or alternatively, is possibly the dumbest man on the face of this Earth. Either way, this jerk needs to go away. Schmuck!

7)The LAPD- This week, a retired LAPD officer came up with a knife allegedly found on OJ Simpson's property way back in 1998. The knife was found during the razing of the house by new owners, who gave it to an off duty cop, who incredibly kept it for 18 years before being outed by an outraged friend. The irony of this cannot be lost. The LAPD was shown to be very bad at collecting evidence for the OJ Simpson case, one of the reasons he got away with double murder. And here we have another example of that to a T. And then they wonder why we don't trust cops anymore.

6)Turkey- Can we please get these assholes out of NATO? This week, resident douchebag Recep Erdagon closed down a newspaper that was critical of him and replaced them with flunkies who will not report the news he doesn't want them to. Needless to say, this went over badly here and abroad causing mass protests that he, of course, viciously put down with tear gas and water cannons. Considering they are still trying to join the EU, this will not help their cause. Turkey is the second most dangerous country right now on the planet. Take a wild stab which is the worst because they are next....

5)North Korea and Otto Warmbier- Where to start, with the midget dictator threatening nuclear war or the dumb American who thought visiting the most closed off country in the world was a good idea? Choices. The oddly named Otto Warmbier (pronounced Warm Beer) was arrested this week in North Korea while on the worst vacation ever. Seems dumbass. a Christian missionary nonetheless, tried to steal a North Korean political banner from his hotel, at the urging of his friends back home, back home being the optimum words. He was immediately arrested and has been imprisoned for the last two months. Frat boy antics are not well received in totalitarian society stupid. On the flip side, Kim Jung Un, every bit as deranged as I have suspected, has said he is putting his countries nuke arsenal on stand by for a preemptive strike against the US. I hope he likes decimating the Korean people because millions will glow in the dark if he does something so suicidal. Considering the best he could hope for is the California Coast, while we can light up the entire continent should we wish, this is a stupid thing to say.

4)Debbie Wasserman Shultz- Much as the GOP is currently tearing itself up, so the democratic party seems to be echoing the same problems. This week, the worst person in the House of Representatives, which includes such luminaries as Steve King, Trey Gowdy and Louie Golmert, sold her soul to the devil in a blatant establishment move that should of resulted in her trial for treason if we had a real government. Seems the DNC wants even more money for their sponsors and are actively trying to kill the Consumer Protection Agency that Liz Warren championed. Why? Oh because you want money from Big Business that doesn't like it, that's why. Much like the GOP, the democrats are all but double dog daring us to keep voting for them, which many have gravitated toward Sanders because of it. Ignore us at your own risk Shultz. Look at what us happening across the aisle. That is your future if you keep this crap up.

3)Chris Christie- Talk about selling your soul, Chris Christie had a look of absolute horror as he stood behind Trump this week, looking like a beaten wife too shell shocked to say anything other than quietly give his support. This is the man he blasted for weeks as unpresidential, and now has to take it up the ass with no lube for a chance at salvaging his slim pickings for government jobs. His approval rating in NJ is at record lows and has zero chance of re-election. Six NJ newspapers called for his resignation, showing how far he was fallen. Nothing was better than when Trump slammed him and NJ and all he could do was whisper a silent NO and shake his head. Sucks to be you dude.

2)Mitt Romney- Mitt, Mitt, Mitt. I feel a little bad for this guy as for all his faults, he is not a bad man. Naive and short sighted but not evil. This week, he tried to give a speech about civility and why not to support Trump but offered zero alternatives to the awful candidates they have left. He should have said he is entering the race or demand people ask for an alternative to the four idiots left because, let's face facts, the Republicans left all suck. Badly. Mitt Romney may not have been the best candidate for President but he was hands down better than these fools. We are so screwed when even the establishment GOP has no idea what to do to.

1)The Republican Party- What a clusterfuck these guys have become! The name calling, the dick jokes and the general animosity is reaching peak volume. The two leaders are right now Ted Cruz and Donald Trump meaning the GOP has been effectively hijacked by the religious right and the super angry Tea Party. The Establishment has been shown the door with no path to victory and it's all by their own making. They have used thinly veiled attacks on race, as well as voter ID laws that had no issue except to limit minority vote, that has now turned into a full fledged wildfire that is burning everything down around it as the Keystone Republicans dance around with no water to put it out. Ted Cruz won Maine yesterday, proving once and for all that that state is filled with some of the dumbest humans on the East coast. Trump cruised to victory in several others as John Kasich and Marco Rubio got shut out again. Their prospects are dying. Rubio is still fending off gay rumors which may have something to them. I don't care one way or another of he is gay, expect for the fact that he wants to eliminate gay people from the Earth so there is that. There are pictures of a guy who looks like him at gay parties and an arrest when he was 18 at a closed park known for gay activities. I have no way of knowing if any of that means he was gay, but it is out there. The chances for a contested election grow if somehow Kasich wins Ohio, which is possible, if Rubio wins Florida, unlikely, and Cruz continues to rack up wins in states where intelligence is a liability. This could lead to an ugly contested convention and the dissolution of the GOP as the Tea Party splits and goes with Trump, the Evangelicals support Cruz and the Establishment goes for Hillary, making them the new defacto status quo party as what is left of the GOP fights among themselves for table scraps. The GOP is dissolving before our eyes and looks to be on it's last legs, all of which are self inflected wounds caused by them lying to their constituents for so long they forget they actually had to govern. You can only tell people a lie for so long before the stop believing you. The result is Donald Trump. So congratulations GOP and voters still supporting them, even though all evidence shows they are circling the drain, you are indeed douchebag of the week.

TRUMP RELEASES HEALTH CARE PLAN! GUESS WHAT? IT WON'T WORK! SHOCKER!

Donald Trump put out his ideas for replacing Obamacare and while it does have a few really good ideas in it, it is ultimately going to fail. Here they are in all their glory:

- Repeal Obamacare. “Our elected representatives must eliminate the individual mandate. No person should be required to buy insurance unless he or she wants to.”
- Repeal the McCarran-Ferguson Act, and allow the sale of insurance across state lines. “By allowing full competition in this market, insurance costs will go down and consumer satisfaction will go up.”
- Allow tax payers to fully deduct health insurance premium payments in their tax returns, as businesses can. “Businesses are allowed to take these deductions so why wouldn’t Congress allow individuals the same exemptions?”
- Review basic options for Medicaid and work with states to ensure that those who want healthcare coverage can have it.
- Allow all individuals to use Health Savings Accounts (HSAs), and make those contributions tax-free and allow them to accumulate year after year. Make them part of an individual’s estate, able to be passed on to heirs without fear of any death penalty.
- Require price transparency from all healthcare providers, including clinics and hospitals.
- Block-grant Medicaid to the states. Incentivize the states to seek out and eliminate fraud, waste and abuse to preserve government resources.
- Remove barriers to entry into free markets for drug providers that offer safe, generic options. “Congress will need the courage to step away from the special interests and do what is right for America. Though the pharmaceutical industry is in the private sector, drug companies provide a public service.”

Let's start with the good parts before I eviscerate it.
Selling across state lines is a good idea as long as it doesn't allow crappier and crappier insurance to be sold, devaluing the product. It could allow for lower costs if handled correctly.
Transparency for all health care providers should have been part of Obamacare but as it was partially written by the insurance, Big Pharma and hospital lobbies, that was never going to occur. If people saw how much they were being gorged they would freak out. This is an idea long overdue and I have to give props to Trump for championing it.
Allowing tax payers to fully deduct health care costs is also a new idea and one I wonder if it would work. It is odd that businesses can deduct health costs and rent from their taxes but the rest of us get screwed. I would like to see further review of this to predict it's viability but again I applaud Trump for coming up with better ideas than any from the GOP these last ten years.
Using HSA's is also not a bad idea especially if they are tax free and allowed to accumulate. It could also be used as a unique tax dodge but that could be remedied with legislation preventing that.
Reviewing Medicaid better not be slang for eliminate because we need it. This point could go either way.
Then there are the awful ideas, starting with the least worst to the catastrophic.
Using block grants for Medicare and Medicaid will lead to many not getting the help they need as block grants always run shy of the money they need as governments dramatically underestimate the amounts needed and shrug when states ask for more. This plan guarantees thousands of poor people die every year.
But that matters little because the one fact that Republicans hate and want to get rid of, the individual mandate, is the only thing that keeps insurance viable. Without it, there is no incentive for people who are NOT sick to have health insurance, meaning the risk pool for every company will have NO healthy people in it. This means premiums will skyrocket to ten thousand dollars a month and no procedure costing less than a million dollars out of pocket. That is not an exaggeration. 
Without the individual mandate saying everyone has to have insurance, the system will fail and quick as it will prohibitively expensive for anyone not a billionaire. When people start seeing their grandparents, their spouses, THEIR CHILDREN dying, how long before dead politicians litter the streets? This plan ends health insurance as does every single plan put forward by the GOP so far. As much as I hate Hillary, her insurance plan doesn't require the end of it first.
The individual mandate is needed to keep insurance for all. The other result is nobody gets anything, except for the very, very rich. How well do you think that will play out in the grand scheme of things?

CHAOS LOOMS AS ELECTION RESULTS SHOW PROBLEMS FOR ALL INVOLVED!

It is anyone's guess who will take the White House at this point. Usually by now, you have some sense of what is about to occur like the inevitability of Obama defeating Hillary who had started to deflate badly by now in 2008 or the dread that someone like Kerry or Dole is going to represent your party to a certain loss. There is none of that this time around as two of the most unpopular candidates are about to be the nominees, and for the GOP, their second place finisher yesterday is even worse. Because of this, the world has turned on it's head as the most staunch liberal or democrat is seriously thinking about switching sides. Who will survives this?

Right now, both sides have erupted into a civil war, with the establishment all but gone from the right. The right has evangelicals duking it out with Tea party faithful while the left has democratic establishment fighting against anti-corporation populists. Who do you think establishment Republicans are going to back? If you said Hillary, you would be right and there is plenty of evidence to support that. Hillary takes in more money from Big Business than everyone else combined. Does anyone seriously think that once she gets into office that her far left talk, caused by Bernie Sanders surprisingly strong campaign, will last? Excuse me while I laugh. Much like Obama did, she will give us a bunch of lip to get into office and then conveniently forget all of that.

Another special shout out to the elderly, the Millennials, black people and Latinos for either not showing up or backing a candidate they had no right to. Here in MA, Sanders lost because young people stayed away in droves and the few black people we have overwhelmingly went to Hillary. Fuck off you guys and after this election I don't want to hear one goddamned peep from any of you how the system is still screwing you over because you either voted for it or stayed home. You don't get to complain when you created the problem in the first place.

Debbie Wasserman Shultz, may she die of cancer soon, recently decided the Consumer Protection Agency that, should have run for President Liz Warren championed for, was on the chopping block because her corporate overlords hate it. This bitch has got to go and I can only hope that people in Florida wise up and vote her ass out on March 15th. It is Florida however, so there is that. She is single handedly destroying this nation and the democratic party.

Hillary is positioned to receive more money than any candidate in history if she does go against Trump. How effective this will be will be demonstrated over the next few weeks as Republicans go for a scorched Earth policy against Trump in states like Ohio and especially Florida. If it works, negative ads can ruin anyone. If it doesn't, it means people are turning out the media after one too many lies. Either way, it will be a snapshot of the general election.

In the past, when these kind of things happen, parties disintegrate as the center does not hold. The evangelicals, Tea Party and GOP establishment all have different goals and may fracture soon because of it. The left has to deal with a growing sense that the Democratic establishment is not any better than the right's version and continue to push for Sanders-like policies. There is still the possibility that others may enter the race, either as fire wall against Trump in states like NJ, NY and CA, or as a third party candidate, in a desperate attempt to give the Presidency to Hillary which they know will still be business friendly. This strategy also gives them the possibility of losing the Senate and House though if they go too far. Jesse Ventura has said he will run if Bernie loses, but that seems a long shot at best because this will go all the way to the convention and leave little time for anyone to emerge with any real chance. There is also the possibility that Bloomberg will run further muddying the water.

The key here will be VP choice. Pick wrong and either of the top two are finished. Hillary HAS to pick someone like Sanders or Warren or face a possible defeat when all the far left stays home or even votes for Trump. Trump is in a bigger bind. A recent poll has Ben Carson as their top pick, a sure fire way to lose in a general election. He needs a politician of some sort, like Chris Christie, or even better, a military hero plucked from obscurity but with enough medals to snap a tree. Who these two pick will be do or die of they pick wrong. If Hillary picks an establishment person, say Shultz, I am definitely voting for Trump. If Trump picks someone like Fiorina, I may have to learn how to speak another language and flee.

It is way too soon to know how this will all play out. One thing is for certain: it won't be dull.
