Cheeto Jesus is apparently eying Big Bend National Park for his border wall because it’s federal land. The problem is that God already beat him to it:
Apparently to our, uh… (urp) president, if he can’t see it from Cheeto Tower, it’s all flat to him.
Stupid.
As I was reading the headlines this morning I kept uttering “My God,” over and over. Here are the headlines in the Washington Post just today (Note: I refuse to use his name; these are actual headlines, not mine):
Trump’s budget seeks deep cuts
Plan calls for reductions in spending for science, diplomacy and the poor
In Trump’s first fiscal blueprint, echoes of Reagan ’81
Trump seeks $1.5 billion to start building border wall. Key GOP senators are skeptical.
Federal judge halts Trump travel ban hours before it was to take effect
Trump admits his Obama wiretapping accusations were based on some news reports, not solid evidence
Tillerson says diplomacy with North Korea has ‘failed,’ time for new approach
Grassley accuses Justice Department officials of withholding information in Trump-Russia probe
GOP lawmakers expected to propose revisions to health plan
Finally, some good news: Dutch anti-Islam leader Geert Wilders fizzles in elections
The ONLY word that can describe what’s going on in Washington is CHAOS. We have a combed over spray tanned bully wreaking havoc on our government, on our press, on our former president, on our society, and on common decency. In response to this rolling train wreck of an administration, a new commercial effort has sprung up and I was one of the first to buy:
If the acronym is not obvious, it stands for Impeach The M….F…. Already.
Sorry, Momma.
The White House just announced that Cheeto Jesus will be unveiling his new budget priorities tomorrow which include slashing the EPA budget by 31% and the State Department by 28%. Son of Jabba the Hut, known as Steve Bannon to non-aliens, said this was part of CJ’s efforts to “dismantle the administrative state.”
Funny they bring up the State Department…A couple of weeks ago, I was in Canada for a meeting; stupidly I had let my passport expire at the end of the month, so to make it easier to get back into the states the following week, I decided to just go to a US Consulate and get an emergency renewal. I called the US Consulates in Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, and even Houston. I called no less than 10 times, never got a human, and never got a call back to my numerous messages. In the end, I was able to talk my way back in since I am part of Global Entry. The customs agent was actually pretty cool, said it happened all the time, and signed me through.
When I got back to Houston, I called the US Passport office to get an appointment to renew – and called and called and called. So, far, no call back, no one answering the phones here, either. So, I’ve got a great idea, why don’t we slash the State Department budget so services to citizens will suck even MORE?
Oh, I left out the good part about CJ’s plan – he’s going to take the savings and reduce the deficit build more war machines. After all, spending half of our discretionary spending on war making simply isn’t enough.
Jesus. No, really. Jesus.
Almost every day there is some new incendiary tweet from Cheeto Jesus or idiotic declaration by his sidekicks Kellyanne and/or Spicey. As entertaining as all this nonsense is, there are serious decisions being made to undo years of government 
policy and practices, dismantle or cripple federal agencies, and create a shadow government that everyday Americans can’t see. Case in point: a major change to drone warfare policy CJ made on January 21st, ONE DAY after his, er, uh…(urp) inauguration.
The WSJ is reporting that unnamed US officials have disclosed that during his first visit to the CIA, CJ reversed the Obama administration policy on drone strikes. For disclosure and transparency, Obama had put in place a policy that the CIA use drones for intelligence gathering only. If they determined a target to be taken out, the military then conducted the actual strike. The Pentagon would then announce the results of that strike. Well, no more. Now, the CIA can pick out and kill targets of choice with no transparency, no accountability. More alarming, though is the pace that they’re doing it – the Council on Foreign Relations reported earlier this month that drone attacks are up over 400% since CJ took office. And that’s just the strikes they could find out about. No telling how many have been done covertly.
So, while the press is chasing the next shiny thing, radical changes to our government are being made behind our backs. It’s time to be ever vigilant and resist.
Yesterday, just moments after ExxonMobil announced a $20 billion spending program in the Gulf of Mexico, the White House released a statement that copied the company’s press release virtually word for word. It seems that Tillerson’s former company has accomplished taking over the White House, even to the point of issuing its press statements.
Noah Feldman, Bloomberg columnist and constitutional law professor at Harvard, published an op-ed yesterday that raised an issue that I hadn’t considered since SCROTUS’s latest Tweet storm; falsely accusing a former president of an impeachable offense is…wait for it…an impeachable offense. CJ accused President Obama of ordering the FBI to wiretap the campaign offices at Cheeto Tower which is clearly against a whole host of state and federal laws; if true, those crimes would result in criminal prosecution and impeachment. It’s not true, of course, and Feldman’s argument is that this accusation is not protected under the First Amendment since defamation is not protected. Additionally, unless evidence is 
produced supporting this accusation, the consequences cannot by asymmetrical; that is, a false accusation of an impeachable offense is in itself cause for impeachment of the accuser.
Now, I’m not stupid enough to believe that Congress, dominated by drooling Neanderthals and idiots, will do anything approaching an impeachment proceeding, but it’s just one more thing to add to the list of offenses that grows daily.
