Prickly City by Scott Stantis for January 28, 2017

Some of us have longer memories and attention spans.

Some of us can even remember the administration before that last and that was a horror show.

So given the number of elections the US has interfered with over the years how many foreign leaders should be removed? Oh, right I forgot, when we do it its ok.

I hate when people use the word “impeach” as though it means anything. Two Presidents were impeached and finished their terms. All impeach means is to bring up on charges. There were people with bumper stickers that said “Impeach Bush”. Then “Impeach Clinton”. Then “Impeach Bush”. Then “Impeach Obama”. I really wish people would try to understand how something works before they just use words they have heard without knowing what they mean! Sorry to get all ranty.

The Trumpocalyse so far, in a grotesque – and rather terrifying – nutshell…Trump issued largely unconstitutional global gag order on international NGOs providing women’s health care and family planning services (“policy experts predict this will mean 6.5 million more unintended pregnancies, 2.2 million more abortions, 2.1 million more unsafe abortions, and the deaths of 21,700 pregnant women.” – The Nation)Froze all research grants for, and issued gag order on the EPA, with promise to defund and destroy agency that provides invaluable research and protects water supply, air quality, everyday life, the planet itself. Nominated EPA-hating Scott Pruitt to run ruin the agency, promised to tear the 14,000-strong agency into “little bits” in favor of pollutive corporate cronies and poisonous deregulationGag order on USDA scientists, HHS, National Parks, many other agencies, threatened to defund NASA climate satellites, resulting in 50+ “rogue” Twitter accounts created by infuriated, muzzled government scientists and their colleaguesSabotaged vital final week of ACA signups by yanking pre-paid ads for Heathcare.gov at the most crucial registration time, out of sheer spite, even though signups are still surgingHiring freeze on all federal employees, except the 4,000 he’s hiring for his own snarling administrationPromise to completely defund Planned Parenthood, decimate Roe v. Wade, cut back on Title IX enforcement, eliminate all funding for Violence Against Women grants in the Department of JusticeCalled for review of all “multilateral treaties,” such as Paris Climate and many others, which will wreak harm on allies and dangerously undermine America’s ability to be a good and humane global citizen

Same can of worms, different views. Looks like someone was downwind of the toxic waste dump when the “Progressives” imploded. Its the Republican’s turn to screw things up a little. Obama was the worse president since Carter; correction, the worse President in my lifetime. That was an opinion, not news: if Journalism wasn’t dead, you would know the difference. By the by, impeach Trump and you get Pence who is squeaky clean, and then the speaker of the house would be the VP and Trump would be an advisor. Wakey-wakey, you lost and they won so live with it for 4 to 8 years.

To quote the beginning sequence of “Person of Interest,” “Never put anything you can’t own in an email.”

Droning? There’s a drone? Where? Where?
