DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: THE POLICE AND OFFICER JOE GLINIEWICZ!

The police has a terrible week in which one cop was exonerated for assassinating an unarmed man ON VIDEO, the police unions nationally have committed slander and threats of violence against Quentin Tarantino for him speaking up against police brutality and the topper being that "hero" cop Joe Gliniewicz turned out to be a giant douchebag who was an adulterer, thief and attempted murderer and that's just for starters. Let's see those runner ups.

10)Dorthy Bland- This woman epitomizes everything I hate about black people lately. This dean of Journalism for a Texas college recently wrote an article that said she has "harassed" by local cops simply because she was black. Unfortunately for her, the entire encounter was caught on tape which showed the police were exceedingly polite when they asked her to get out the middle of the road as she was creating unsafe conditions by walking there. She then launched into a tirade about this being about her race, which we can see definitely wasn't. Considering her vocation, she should be fired immediately as she is really bad at her job. This comes on the heels of another round of false race baiting when a group of black people got tossed off a plane for being unruly when their seats got double booked and they claimed racism. Video of the matter shows a different picture. Crying racist at the top of your lungs for every action that doesn't go your way is going to make actual racist claims, which do exist, much less believable.

9)Justin Beiber- I fucking HATE this little douche. His music is garbage and lately he has been in one long string of trouble. He walked out on a radio interview for no apparent reason, called short a concert, after one song, in a foreign country, saying the fans were not listening to him, apparently not knowing that not everyone speaks English and may not have had any idea what he was saying, and then flipped over a chair at a restaurant after receiving some " bad news," like his fifteen minutes should be almost up. This guy is one giant dick.

8)Ben Golden- Word to the wise out there, if your going to be drunk and belligerent, don't get caught on tape that way. Ben Golden didn't when he decided to act like a dick and attacked an Uber driver for no apparent reason other than he was really drunk. It cost him his job as a Taco Bell executive, which is news to me as their crappy food didn't seem to allow the possibility of any executives and instead are run by seals picking up balls from a hat. Hope you like unemployment idiot.

7)Isis- It seems likely that a bomb brought down a Russian plane this week which raises the stakes for all involved. The biggest problem will be the death from above that Russia is going to be dealing to these losers as they are a people not known for self restraint. Keep it up guys and watch your extinction unfold.

6)Jeb Bush- One of many candidates having a bad week, Jeb saw the biggest fall from the top to down to 4% in some polls. He has tried re-branding his campaign with the awful moniker "Jeb can fix it," which can only apply to fixing elections so his brother can win as he did in Florida in 2000. His campaign chief quit this week after she realized that she was on a sinking ship that had slashed her salary by 40%. This would have dropped her salary into the $70,000 a year range that would be great for many, but this someone used to much bigger cash cows and Jeb wasn't it. If she thought he was going to be president, she might have stuck it out. But that is not going to happen. If he didn't have money, he would already have quit.

5)Hillary Clinton- While I still think she is the most likely to win the nomination and the presidency, no matter how much I wish that wasn't the fact, her idiotic statement on guns is exactly the kind of thing that could have us saying President Carson, a far worse notion. The democrats better figure out fast that some gun proposals like background checks are feasible. Gun confiscation, as she has publicly said, is a recipe for civil war and a good way to lose voters. She came off as phony as always during the last forum, unlike the very real Bernie Sanders. I hope millennials show up for the primaries and election because they stayed home in droves this week.

4)Ben Carson- Of all the candidates, no one said anything dumber than this ass. It has been a non stop parade of stupid from him. According to him Joseph built the pyramids to store grain, still has no cohesive answer to his awful economic plan and his past keeps coming back to haunt him as nothing he has said about his past appears to be true. Yes he raised $3.5 million this week. FROM WHO? Anyone donating money to this ass needs to stop voting as they suck at it. This guy is almost as bad a pick as Fiorina.

3)SNL- Donald Trump was on last night and got the highest ratings of the year and in some time which is hardly surprising. The bad part actually wasn't Trump but for the fourth episode this year, the show has been just awful. The writing on this show is beyond bad now and a shake up is needed. I have been watching since 1975 and there have been many up and down years. This so far, has been one of the worst EVER. At least the musical act, Sia, was good. These guys missed every opportunity to be funny with some of the worst sketches of the season so far. Shape up guys and soon.

2)Voters- Whether by cheating or because democrats failed to show up for the polls, democrats got shellacked nationwide. Matt Bevin won in Kentucky for governor, even though he has zero experience, is a Teatard and has promised to throw 400,000 off of health care. He is literally going to kill people and he still won. WTF America? We also saw Joe Ganin win in Bridgeprot CT, even though he just got out of jail for corruption when he was mayor of Bridgeport. Are you kidding me? Houston killed an anti-discriminatory law that would protect LBGT people after the right framed it as a rape little girls in bathroom law. Ohio was the only state to do anything smart as they killed a corporate power grab for legal weed and ended gerrymandering. But the rest of the country simply failed to show up. We'd better do something better then this for 2016 or we are going to be in a world of hurt.

1)The Police- This week, we saw a female officer get away with murder even though her body camera proved she killed a man for no reason. This is why I want to get rid of trial by jury who convict 90% of the time because they are too stupid to reason anymore. Cops threatened director Tarantino for speaking his mind and falsely categorizing him for saying all cops are murderers which is not what we said. He said that some cops are murderers and it is unthinkable to protect these people when you know they did it. The worst was Joe Gliniewicz, a decorated cop who should have been fired years ago for being a terrible cop and human being. The "hero" committed suicide a few weeks back after his embezzlement was about to found out. He also had raped a fellow officer, whose case was thrown out due to the victim's shitty lawyer (who she later sued and with good reason), was barred from local bars for being a drunk douchebag, once waved a gun around the prescient for no good reason, and even got his son to marry his mistress so they could split the military benefits. This dick is everything America hates about the police and the fact that he was trouble since 2000 should have gotten him bounced, but instead he got promoted. HOW? Cops had better realize that assholes like this are going to erode what little trust we have in them and protecting these kinds of douchebags are going to be a problem when people start gunning these fuckers down when they go too far. I hope he burns in hell. So congratulations Joe Gliniewicz, you are indeed douchebag of the week, and a good contender for douchebag of the year

WHAT WE LEARNED FROM LAST NIGHT'S DEMOCRATIC FORUM!

Instead of a debate, we got a more personal look at the three remaining candidates at last night's democratic forum. Hillary was her usual evasive self, Bernie has great ideas and Martin O'Malley is treading water. Rachel Maddow was okay, but lacked any hard hitting questions and an unexplainable inability to ask follow up questions, a fact that has been part of the process ever since the League of Women Voters stopped organizing these things decades ago. She is not alone in this, which is why our MSM is so pathetic. One of the reasons has been echoed by Chuck Todd who says that if the questions are too rough, these people won't be back on the show. So again ratings and money mean more than actual discourse and a need for the fourth estate to exist. Let's take a look at some of the more interesting moments from last night.

Even when Hillary is trying to look like a human she fails. She evaded questions, lied to herself and everyone else when she stated she would be less warlike than Obama, which is a statement that flies in the face of reason as her record says something very different. The good news, which wasn't asked about last night for some inane reason (as a lot of questions kind of were), was the fact that the email "scandal" may be finally over as James Clapper has verified that all classified materials were done so retroactively meaning she didn't do anything wrong. Can we please move past this and Benghazi already?

O'Malley has no idea how to fix his campaign as he gave the same answer Bush the first said with "stay the course, a thousand points of light, as a response to his low numbers. He has no money and no way to advertise, which is a death knell in today's politics. In all honesty, like so many others this election cycle, got in to late. Ask Rick Perry and Scott Walker how that strategy worked for them? There is no way he gets any traction this late in the game.

Bernie did the best, no surprise there, as he came off less grumpy and more human, which he most likely is in real life. He gave good answers and I love his idea of a constitutional amendment for guarantee voting rights. I would also like to make it mandatory and capable of doing over laptop or smart phone. There are actually ways to make that way safer than the crappy way we do it now which is open to all sorts of shannigans.

The specter of election fraud has been raised in Kentucky and the election of Matt Bevin. Turns out that in many districts, people voted across the board democrat except for governor, which is statistically unlikely. Most people vote for the big names and positions and  are more likely not to vote for lesser candidates like treasurer or state comptroller. But in many cases democrats won across the board and still voted for Bevin over the democrat. That is not the usual, unless Bevin's opponent got caught in a scandal of some sort last minute which he wasn't. This is something that will be regulated to conspiracy sites and the like because no way does our bought and paid for media cover this.

Overall all the debate was polite, somewhat informative and probably won't change too many votes. This will not describe Tuesday's GOP slugfest, with many an attack that is going to be leveled at Ben Carson, pathological liar. I cannot wait for that.

VOTERS, BEN CARSON, THE UPCOMING GOP DEBATE AND OTHER GREAT MOMENTS IN AMERICAN IDIOCY!

Sorry for the delayed postings but I had lots of work this week as well as a Democratic forum to talk about tomorrow. As a result however, I got to see a lot of disasters unfold, many of which will be repeated in Sunday's Douchebag of The Week column.

This has been a bad week in general for anyone living on the planet with half a brain, a fact that seems in shorter and shorter supply. The TPP text has been released and it's awesome if you think living under corporate rule is a great idea. Voters put into office some of the worst people I can possibly imagine. Ben Carson is still at the top of the heap in some polls even though the utter nonsense he can't stop saying proves he is a pathological liar. The police are getting more and more hostile to a nation increasingly tired of their brutality antics. And next Tuesday's GOP debate shoved several candidates out of the race, which makes FOX new smarter than most of those running for President. Where to start.

Let's begin with the past election, which I am guessing considering the turnout, most of the nation didn't even know about. The ramifications for this are unsettling at best. Kentucky voted in Matt Bevin, a moron who will most likely throw 400,000 people off of Medicaid and has never held office before. Oh, and he is a former investment banker or the very type of person who helped bring down the economy. How dumb are Republicans? Democrats can also take the blame for not showing up, even though they outnumber Republicans there by 400,000 voters. Watch most of them being the exact same number now looking forward to no health care. Democrats in CT voted back in Joe Ganin for mayor of Bridgeport. If that name sounds familiar it is because he just got out of jail for serving seven years for corruption while mayor of Bridgeport previously. You can't make stuff like that up. Voters in Houston struck down a LBGT law that opponents successfully framed as the rape a little girl in the bathroom law. Because of this, the Super Bowl there in 2017 may be changed according to some rumors floating around. Overall, voting in almost every state, except Ohio who killed a monopoly pot bill and ended gerrymandering, was terrible including who won and who voted which was no one. Democracy is dying because no one gives a crap anymore.

Ben Carson has been put under a microscope and is wilting under the light. His past written about in books appears more fiction than not with questions about an alleged stabbing he did when he was fourteen whose story keeps changing being challenged as well as a proven fictional encounter with General Westmoreland and a "full scholarship" to West Point. The problem with the latter statement is that the General was elsewhere at the time of the alleged meeting and that West Point does not offer scholarships but a vetting process. Tack that on with his idiotic statements about Joseph building the pyramids, a plot point in "Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat," and we see that maybe Carson thinks that, like the Bible, all books and plays and such are also real. Or maybe this is a very very stupid man who is very good at being a doctor and nothing else. I meet types like that all the time.

The TPP text is out and when I find a copy of it online, plan on reading it. So far what I've seen is worse than you can imagine. This, when passed, will give complete control over to the corporations, something that has been in the works for at least a hundred years. It could end free speech, dirty our planet even worse, skyrocket prices on pills, and forever change the landscape of the world. It is giant power grab and when, which I believe it will, pass, we are going to be a slave class from here on in with little way to change things except through the barrel of a gun and how effective do you think that is going to be? I am hoping that enough people demand it doesn't, like Sanders and Trump will, and that we can change the narrative. But considering that we see who voters put in, a have little faith in that. RIP world, it was nice knowing you.

The police have lost it this week against Quentin Tarantino who refused to back down on his statements about some police being murders and how their buddies on the force cover up a lot of it. This was proven true when upcoming douchebag of the week, Officer Joe Gliniewicz, whose "murder" was actually a suicide, has had one bad story after another this week. He was a belligerent drunk with several DUI's that were never prosecuted, a serial cheater and rapist, not to mention an embezzler and attempted murderer. Yeah, he's a peach. Tarantino is not so wrong about bad cops being on the job when most of us would have been fired years ago for this kind of behavior. It is this protection that bad officers get that is driving the entire force down as a whole. And how did douchebags like NYC police union boss, Pat Lynch, react when all this came out? Ignored it and basically used terrorist like language, including thinly veiled threats, toward the director. Lynch is an asshole who should have been let go a long time back. Instead, we get this blowhard ruining free speech for us all. He also conveniently ignored another story this week in which a female officer was acquitted of murder even though her body cam showed her killing an unarmed man. This is why juries only find police guilty less than 2% of the time over the last ten years and also why I want an end to trial by jury. When modern juries have an over 90% conviction rate, you know innocent people are being sent en masse into jail. I have been on the receiving end of a douchebag cop hell bent on putting an innocent man in jail, namely me. I had an excellent lawyer though. How many don't?

Lastly we have the GOP debate in which we finally have some parity. Huckabee and Christie have been regulated to the kid's table while Graham, Pataki and Gilmore have been dis-invited all together. In other words, these are all the candidates, along with Santorum and Jindal, whose days are numbered. The ones eliminated are really done. Expect them to drop out soon as they cannot continue much longer.

I will be back tomorrow to talk about tonight's Democratic forum. See you soon.

RUSSIAN JET DOWNING, CLIMATE CHANGE AND OTHER EXAMPLES OF WHY NO ONE BELIEVES ANYTHING ANYMORE!

I give up. Lately, there seem to be two sides to every story, no matter how cut and dried the evidence seems to be. People are not getting vaccinations due to wild misinformation as well as some good points from both sides. Global warming appears to be happening but new information from a credible source now questions it. Who do you believe when both sides seem to have facts on their side?

This is the kind of stuff that leads to the downfall of society. When no one believes anything anymore, and we are coming dangerously close to that reality, trust disappears and with it all cohesion of civlization. We had better get a handle on this and fast because it could blow up in all of our faces.

Let's look at the latest tragedy involving a Russian plane blowing up in mid-air. There has been conflicting stories with Egypt saying they talked to the pilot and they were having mechanical difficulties. The plane had engine trouble in the past so that is possible. However, the Russians are denying that conservation took place and say evidence suggests an "external explosion." If that is true, the ramifications are extreme to say the least as it would suggest that ISIS has surface to air missiles, dramatically changing how we should perceive this group. So who is right here and who is lying? Whoever turns out to be spreading falsehoods should get the sharp end of a boot up their ass because this is exactly the kind of misinformation that can cause much bigger problems down the road. Oddly, Russian officials have downplayed a missile threat while at the same time suggesting that is what happened. My head hurts.

What is not in doubt at this time is that the plane broke up in midair meaning one of five things: bomb, missile, weather, in air collision, or mechanical failure. Weather can be ruled out as can collision, leading to the other three being the only ones left and two involve terrorism. However, there have been reports of engine problems in previous weeks as well as the possibility of tail damage from way back in 2001 that could have also been the culprit. What is not in question is whether the pilot talked to the tower or not. If he did, mechanical problem is most likely. If he didn't, as the Russians claim, it was terrorism. This shouldn't be this hard to verify an established fact. But becuase this is taking way to long to clear up, everyone is speculating wildly.

Then we have NASA who today said Antarctic ice is getting thicker, contradicting the IPCC and several scientists from the area who have stake in the matter, as their job is to report on the facts and their funding matters little either way. But according to the new study, Antarctica ice sheets are getting thicker in the certain places, but sea levels are still rising and getting warmer, a conundrum for scientists who can't explain why that is happening. The new findings say the growing ice sheets there may decrease sea levels actually, but that means we have no idea why sea levels are still rising. Fun. It would appear to be correct, but if that is true, the what does that mean for climate change studies? Are they wrong too? This story needs much more clarity than what is being said so far.

Lastly, we have Syrian refugees that are causing every problem I predicted would happen. This does not mean I have no sympathy for the plight of those escaping war torn areas, but throwing people from a different civilization into another without any oversight, is a recipe for disaster. Some German towns have pulled back on holiday traditions as to not offend their new Muslim counterparts. Imagine that here if Christmas was cancelled because we didn't want to offend non-Christians. People would lose their minds. Guess what's happening in Germany? Three separate instance of attacks on refugees have been reported this past weekend and you can bet dollars to doughnuts more are coming. We have video of Syrian refugees marching down the street claiming the city as theirs and a new caliphate is coming. Yeah, that won't stoke tensions at all.

This is a boiling pot and it is set to boil over at any minute. The EU, the Middle East, Russia, China and the US have no idea what to do next. This is how wars start. Big ones at that. If we don't get a handle on this soon, there is going to be bloodshed and a lot of it, mostly against innocent people. We are one match away from WW3. It would help if we could get a straight answer out of someone.

DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: MSNBC!

You know you've gone too far when you find yourself sympathizing with the Republicans after some of the dumbest questions in debate history were uttered by MSNBC hosts this week. Not all mind you, as the Republicans would like you to believe, but a lot of them, starting off with question numero uno, sucked. They told us nothing, basically throwing weapons for the candidates to fight with, who wisely (and I can't believe I used that word in the same sentence as Republican) threw them down in disgust. When Ted Cruz becomes the most unlikely voice of reason, when he called the moderators out for the awful skills, you know you've crossed the Rubicon. Let's see those runner ups in a truly special week for dolts and idiots. My God was there a lot to choose from.

10)Jared Fogel- Just when Subway thought they were free and clear of this human anchor, new audio tapes surfaced this week that made Fogel look even creepier and evil than you thought. The tapes reveal a sexual predator, who LOVED kiddie porn, child sex, voyeurism of children and, apparently, girl or boy didn't matter. I feel dirty just writing that sentence. What a sick, sick, SICK bastard. He's going to be real popular behind bars. These guys get it the worst from what I have heard. Just recently Jared Remy, a convicted murderer beat the snot out of a child predator for the sole reason of prison cred in a CT prison. I hope this douche gets the maximum sentence because it is going to be hard time. Hopefully some of that hardness will be in this idiot's ass and see how he likes it. And a side award for the FBI for dragging this investigation out for almost a decade. Way to go.

9)Mellissa Harris Perry- MSNBC had a really, REALLY bad week when they got the ball rolling for this sad excuse for a network with this bon mot when she claimed that the words "hard work" was racist because as we all know black slaves worked harder than anyone and those words bring up racial connotations so we shouldn't say it. WTF? said everyone on Earth. South Park has been heralded this season for doing a season long arc about PC nonsense. It has been brilliant. This was one of several instances this week of far left PC control that is bordering on being facsist, which is what happens of you move too far off the political spectrum in either direction. Words are not racist. It is how they are used that makes them that way. You would think someone like Perry, who is a published author, would know the difference.

8)Syrian Refugees and the EU- The EU is straining under the weight of this kind of refugee crisis that sees no sign of abating. Both sides have a point in human rights versus countries' sovereignty. What is also clear is that no one has any idea what to do. I have an easy and viable solution. The old, the young and the women get to stay. All the other men are now drafted into the free Syrian army, one with no religious obligations other than to get rid of Isis and seek a political solution with Assad, with the full backing of the US. Working with the Russians would be a good start to mending our relationship with them. Refugee crisis solved. When the war ends, which it would quickly with overwhelming force, everyone goes back home and rebuilding begins. Assad either is forced to step down or accept changes, with again Russia's help, and everyone wins. But this is way too commonsense to ever be implemented so expect WW3 instead.

7)North Carolina- In typical red state, Republican run areas, NC just decided that if you are young and single with no kids, food stamps are going away after three months. And as we all know in today's society, getting a job in a matter of weeks is never a problem. Unless of course you are 90% of Americans who do have that problem. These assholes are going to let people starve. This is how revolutions start guys. Do not forget an army travels on it's stomach. So does society.

6)South Carolina- What is it with the South lately? Charges were dropped this week over a dick cop who shot a 17 year old white kid for no reason, even though it was caught on tape. Guess which word in that last sentence is the reason you have not heard of Zac Hammond and his execution over a low level pot deal that got him killed? If you said white, you'd be right. Wrong color I guess for any outrage as no one said boo about this. Had this kid been black, we'd never hear the end of it. This is why I hate BLM because we are focusing on only black people, other races are getting killed too with alarming regularity and with no one going to jail over it. We are all being attacked by an out of control police force who blames videos on the rise of violence and not douche cops literally killing us for no reason. All lives matter when it comes to police brutality.

5)Cops- 1000 of police forces had a snit fit this week over Quentin Tarantino marching in NYC with people of all colors over the rise in police brutality in the city lately. Just recently, a NYC cop was caught on tape choke holding a skateboarder, even though since the death of Eric Gardner, we all know that is illegal. So instead of looking at themselves and saying we have to change, annual honorary douche Patrick Lynch of the NYC police union, screamed about a boycott of Tarantino films that has now been echoed across the country by thousands of "outraged" cops. Just this week,the head of the FBI said videos and You Tube were making arrests harder and were leading to a rise in crime against the police. None of that is actually true. Arrests have remained steady nationwide, according to their own stats, and there has been a decrease in police attacks this year for some reason. These guys need cameras everywhere because they can't even police themselves.

4)BLM- There are two stories connected with this group, one here and another below is more anecdotal to them. BLM is suffering from a terrible leadership problem and a disdain for political movements which is the same thing that was the death knell for OWS. People do realize that group is DOA right? This week they tried to take over a Hillary Clinton rally which did nothing but make every white person there to see Hillary instantly racist against you and your cause. This is how revolutions die, and it's not like you do not have a point as black people are getting killed by cops a lot more than they should and sometimes, with no consequences. It may not be as racist as you think it is, but to be honest, everything is racist to black people lately. BLM needs to change tactic stat or face oblivion. I know which one my money is on.

3)Political Correctness- This has gotten out of hand fast as I predicted it would some years back. When you start limiting what words can be said and what can't, eventually all words become a problem, and that is where we are now. Opinion can not be had that differs from any one else because that becomes anathema to the masses and Twitter mobs strike with real ferocity. An article in the college paper of Wesleyan College in Middletown, CT, written by a conservative student, said exactly what I said in the paragraph above, in that while BLM has a point, they are going about it really badly. Nothing racist or problematic was said. The student body had a fit, gathering up all the papers to burn them (nothing fascist about that), defunding the paper and treating the writer as if he was an actual slave owner. And all he did was make a good point. Raven Symone has been vilified on line for daring to question black people who name the kids odd names like "Watermelena" or that the girl in SC who got dragged out of her seat in class was partially responsible. Neither are wrong yet black people in particular jumped all over her. One blogger recently wanted to ban the word "too" for being sexist. This is where we have ended, in a world were even a common sense approach to anything is being driven into the ground by zealots who cannot have their world view questioned.

2)Republicans- It was not a banner week for anybody, except maybe Cruz and Rubio whose stocks have risen. Jeb Bush ate it hard at this week's debate, finishing dead last in many a poll take after the debate. He was dull and lifeless. So is his campaign. Carly Fiorina got caught in a blatant lie that even she had to admit was untrue and stolen from Romney in 2012 about 92% of job losses were for women under Obama. Trump tried to disavow a statement currently on his own web site at the time. Carson gets the biggest whopper of the night when he threw Mannatech under the bus claiming he had no association with the company, somehow unaware that at that moment his mug was all over the site including videos of him hawking the product. It wasn't helped when his explanation of his economic plan had all the insight of last time's black candidate Herman Cain. I am stunned he hasn't fallen further back by now. The rest of the pack is just a joke waiting to happen. Time for half these clowns to quit already.

1)MSNBC- This is a sad, sad network. Any network that has Jim Kramer and Rick Santelli, the yelling idiot from the debate and the reason we have Tea Party morons in the first place, doesn't deserve to be on the air. Perry's idiotic comments show she has no business being on air as she is WAY to concerned with race to be much good to anyone. There is a reason we don't hire blatant white racists either. The three moderators asked awful questions, had a less than clear command of the facts, unwise for a news show, and fumbled the debate so hard Bill Buckner would have been embarrassed. One thing we should be clear about though is beside Anderson Cooper who did very well, debates are usually pretty clunky. The first Fox debate sucked hard too when they threw Trump to the wolves and tried ti give softball questions to Bush and Walker and still managed to miff it. They also asked the dumbest question so far when they asked about God talking to them, like that actually happens. Funny, how no one had a fit about that. This debate did suck and the moderators have no one but themselves to blame. How about asking about specifics of their plans that the average person doesn't know about? How about comparing one tax plan with another on stage and let them debate the merits of it? And lastly can we set a boundary of 5% and anyone lower than that can argue at the kid's table so we can hear from people who might actually win? Get your act together MSNBC because you are indeed douchebag of the week.

THE 3RD GOP DEBATE AND THE AWFULNESS THAT ENSUED!

Wow, what a horrific waste of everyone's time that was. It didn't help that the moderators sucked beyond all rhyme or reason, but most of the candidates didn't do themselves any favors either. And those questions, yuck, made me miss John King and his idiocy from last year. We got such hard hitting questions as Carly Fiorina's HP tenure, Fantasy Football and thinly veiled insults that went way over the line. Even worse, half of the time the moderators failed to follow up on obvious lies the candidates said or were completely wrong themselves when it came to facts. Let's do another quick summary over the debate last night

Kasich- I have no idea how weed works and I don't want any votes from Millennials.

Huckabee- Who exactly is voting for me because the evangelicals all like Carson better?

Rubio- I am running for President so to hell with voting in the Senate.

Bush- Duh! Hillary bad.

Carson- My flat tax will beam off the surface of Venus while swamp gas turns it into gold for all.

Trump- I can't believe I'm losing to this guy.

Paul- I plan on filibustering tomorrow's budget plan because apparently I need my eyes checked.

Cruz-The media sucks.

Fiorina- I ran HP into the ground and I would gladly do it again.

Christie- This is the stupidest debate I have ever been a part of.

That was the essence of the whole thing. I have to give it to Chris Christie for the best line of the night when he was asked about Fantasy Football and correctly said that question was pointless as were most of the questions. They did get Trump on an inescapable lie about rallying against visas for foreign works, who then back-tracked on it, and when asked where they got the info from, came from his own website. Ouch! Same with Carson who almost had a Rick Perry moment when he tried badly to explain his flat tax idea and spaced for a moment when the complexities of it overwhelmed his ability to speak. Fiorina blatantly lied about 92% of women being out of work under Obama, which was the same bull Romney tried in 2012, which was false then and is now.  The moderators let this one go for some unknown reason but later went after Rubio's tax plan and the length of the debate.
 
John Harwood was terrible, as was almost every other moderator up there, who opened with a question to Trump comparing him to a comic book villian, then lied about rewriting an article about Rubio's tax plan (he did), and claimed the debate was always going to be two hours, which was so false his nose should have grown. Jim Cramer had some ridiculous question and one guest moderator whose name I do not know literally shouted every question as if he were in a wind tunnel. I hate most of the people up there and even I felt bad for them with the horrific line of questions. Things do not look like they will get any better as the next Democratic debate has Wolf Blitzer as the moderator. Awesome.

I didn't watch the kid's table debate because I don't care. As a matter of fact, half of the people up there should be banned from the next debate. One of the reasons these debates suck so hard is there are too many Goddamned people up there. For the next debate I hope Trump demands only those at 5% or higher be invited and the rest can sit home.

If that is the case, Jeb Bush won't be there because it was the one thing that literally everyone agreed on was that he sucked hard last night. He tried to attack Rubio on his voting record, a good point, and fumbled hard when Rubio smacked him back on it. It deflated him for the rest of the night, getting the least amount of time of any of the candidates and, even when he spoke, was bland and boring. His numbers are going to plummet after this and his chances of winning have become close to zero. He may drop out any day now as his money is going to dry up.

Carson didn't do himself any favors with his economic policy, which sucks. Fiorina is still fading among everyone except the most simple. Paul, Kasich and Huckabee can go home. The top three, hands down were Trump, Cruz and Rubio. Carson will survive. Christie may get some support but it's too little too late and his unfavorable rating puts him near the bottom still. It's time for some to start realizing it's over and we don't need you in the next debate. Maybe if we whittle it down, we can start figuring out who might be a good president and less like a celebrity death match.

WHY THE BUDGET DEAL IS A BIG DEAL FOR ALL INVOLVED AS WE READY FOR TONIGHT'S BIG DEBATE!

Congress may have done something not only smart but productive, assuming the retards on the right don't sink it along with their chances of winning ever again. John Boehner and Mitch McConnell have hopefully secured enough votes for an epic budget deal along with a debt ceiling hike that will take the issue off the table until the next President has to worry about it.
 
The deal is actually quite good. It fixes the social security disability fund that was going to run out of money next year. It gives more money to the military. It ends the chances of defaulting on the debt. In other words, it has something for everyone. Unless of course you are an idiot like Rand Paul who is threatening to filibuster the thing because I guess he is looking forward to multiple assassination attempts when an angry mob storms Congress when food stamps and Social security come to a grinding halt right before Christmas. Yeah, that'll get you elected.

Here's the thing some on the right, like Boehner are talking about: if this doesn't pass and things go belly up, the GOP will be held responsible and they will lose the House, Senate and Presidency, perhaps forever. That is also assuming they survive long enough when people can't afford rent or food and show up in Washington in droves to explain with bullets how pissed they are. This is exactly how revolutions start when millions reach their breaking point and some on the GOP side are flirting with extinction, mostly their own. Hopefully, this will pass, because the alternative is one on which Republicans join the dinosaurs both literally and figuratively.

Meanwhile, the establishment continues to throw wrenches at Trump and highlighting questionable polls that show him losing to Carson. They first harpooned him for daring to suggest that George W. Bush was president during 9/11. Contrary to the MSM, he never said Bush was responsible. Now mind you the evidence suggest he was either in on it or stupendously incompetent, the latter certainly a real possibility considering how stupid a man he really is, but Trump never said anything other than he didn't keep us safe that day, which is unquestionably true.

Now they are saying he "insulted" Carson's religion when in reality he said he didn't know anything about his religion. I listened to the quote over and over, as the MSM keeps replaying in it, and even my mother who is a die hard democrat is coming to his defense on this. I have years of religious studies in my past and even I have little knowledge as to what a Seventh Day Adventists believes. Looking it up, my opinion of Carson changes little and hardly for the better. They are no better or worse than most, although at least it's not Baptist claptrap about how their belief in Jesus is getting them into heaven regardless of behavior. That is evil and total nonsense. Trump merely said he didn't know about the religion, not that he didn't think it was a good religion.

And then there is one poll, conducted by CBS that put Carson ahead of Trump nationally. Considering only 526 people were polled, this is either an obvious fake or a fluke but looking at his polls in most states, Trump is way ahead in all of them except Iowa. Hillary is also way ahead there and even the most jaded pundit will tell you means nothing. Iowa is all about organized turnout which is why poll leaders like Michelle Bachmann last time around actually finished fifth not first as several polls told us. This means that Trump and Sanders could still win if they have buses of supporters showing up for a caucus, which is run different than every other state. Polls matter little if you have the right organizers and support which show up instead of those that sit home instead. Iowa polls must be looked different than any others. Trump is still way ahead of the pack, regardless of what the media is telling you and Sanders may also be doing better than we are being told.

Tonight, Bush, Fiorina and the bottom rung candidates need to make a big splash or face elimination. Christie and Paul are hanging on by a thread and both may implode by 10 tonight. Fiorina is hemorrhaging all the support she got last time, down into low single digits again after people looked into her past and threw her away like the rotten fish that she is. Bush is desperate, running out of cash and even his biggest supporters are losing patience. Tonight's debate should be interesting. More on that tomorrow.
