News About the Trumpster Just Keeps Getting Better

It was bad enough he was ever, ever in government office, let alone the highest office in the land but now that he's out---THANK GOD AND GOODNESS--the news just does seem to keep getting better and better about this old orange buffoon.

Of course, we'll be starting an impeachment, his 2nd, God love him, on February 9, little over a week from now--JUST AFTER THE CHIEFS WIN THE SUPER BOWL--and of course, his, Trump's 5 lawyers all quit on him about one week before this trial is to start because they wouldn't testify falsely in court that he won the election.

The state of New York is still, still going after him about his taxes, God love 'em, and in 2 different cases, I believe. Also, he had to turn over yet more tax documents it was ruled by and in a court last week.

And now this.

Scotland Parliment to Vote on 'Unexplained Wealth Order' Against Trump This Week

An "unexplained wealth order", you ask?

The Scotish Parliment is about to jump in on the fun of dumping on Trump.
  • Scotland's government could investigate Donald Trump's Scottish assets
  • MSPs are set to vote on whether to pursue an Unexplained Wealth Order
  • Wednesday's debate is being brought to the chamber by Patrick Harvie
Patrick Harvie, MSP (GP) introduced the debate that will begin in Wednesday. Mr. Harvie is pushing to invstigate “serious and evidenced concerns” surrounding Mr. Trump's purchases of the Turnberry hotel.
  • The vote to seek an Unexplained Wealth Order (UWO) would not be binding.
  • However, it would increase pressure on Sturgeon to act in accordance with Hollyrood.
  • Most notably, they would probe where the £35.7 million Trump used to purchase the Turnberry resort came from.
Ain't it great?

Have a terrific day, campers.

Final, side note. A reader---yes, apparently I had a reader!--commented that he thought I'd stop unloading on Trump now that he's out of office.

Not a chance in Hell. 

As long as he or I am alive, I will be dissing on this greedy, selfish, self-centered, reckless, dangerous, ignorant old fool that tried so hard to wreck our nation.

But thanks for asking.

Only 5 More Days of this Orange Mess of a President

Only 5 more days to tolerate this orange President and his administration, thank goodness. And in the midst of all this, everything around him is falling apart, virtually, if not actually. 


Here's how things stand for Republican Party President and soon to be regular citizen Donald J Trump now.
  • He was just impeached for the 2nd time in your Presidency, a first in your nation's history
  • He must vacate that same Presidency in 5 days
  • States are cancelling multi-million dollar contracts with his companies
  • Corporations and businesses are cancelling financial aid and any other support to and for him
  • He has hundreds of millions of dollars in loans coming due in months to come and finally,
  • He has been cut off from virtually all meaningful social media because of his personal opinions and announcements in the last months

Pew's last poll of his presidency is also Trump's worst. They show his approval rating at  29 percent. A great deal of us out here don't think it should even be that high, of course. And while he is at his lowest popularity, most Americans want him held accountable.


Here's what they're saying about him across the pond in Ireland presently.


It seems his taxes are not just being investigated for his taxes and any problems in 2 New York State cases but also in both Ireland and Scotland. On top of it, Scotland has made clear Trump is not welcome.


Imagine that, please. A former US President declared not welcome in another, foreign nation that is an ally. Again, unprecedented in our nation's history. He's becoming a sort of, if not actual, man without a country.

Then, this is what's happening just now with his attorney.


Meanwhile, this is where we stand today on this very killing pandemic for which we are leaderless, of couse.

CDC projecting over 90,000 deaths within the next 3 weeks due to this pandemic. Then check out this fact breaking today: the United States, with about 4% of the world's population, has reported about one-fifth of all reported deaths globally.

Thanks, Mr. President.
Thanks, Republicans.

A Facebook post very correctly, I think, summed it all up this way:

Thousands dying every day, an economy in shambles, millions out of work, massive deficits, a skyrocketing national debt, a country divided unlike it’s been in decades, the United States turned into some twisted, embarrassing global reality show the rest of the world is watching in horror, our enemies are stronger, white supremacists and other conspiracy nuts empowered and more radicalized than ever before, and the very foundation of this country fractured to such an extent it might take decades to repair the damage that’s been done to it.  --  Allen Clifton

The Washington Post has summed up Trump to be the following:

The biggest loser


I think the following quote from USA Today is accurate.


With these last few days pending, it's the power he still has that is so very concerning.
There is at least one silver lining to Donald Trump's complete paths of destruction, I think and that's this.

I intend to make the following true the rest of my long, healthy, happy life, long as I'm alive.


I wasn’t sure how, exactly, we would get here, but this is exactly what I expected after 4 years of Trump being in office.

I will say this finally today, I no way thought Republicans would do worse than Nixon, and a LOT worse, at that, in my lifetime. But they did. And did they ever.
Fortunately, this afternoon, on a different story, there is this breaking just now.

NRA declares bankruptcy


My God, that is magnificent. So for 2021, we will have gained a vaccine, lost a killing pandemic, gotten  rid of an orange excuse and nightmare of a President and the NRA declared bankruptcy!!

Happy new year, everyone!
