Alrighty Then, Week in Review, It is an embarrassment, Flynn Pleads Guilty, Rams Beat Saints, Trump says Joe Scarborough killed intern, Trump's anti-Muslim retweets 'elevate the conversation', Scheana, Lala, Ariana, Vanderpump Dogs, Maryland basketball team sucks, Total Divas, Yard House & Why does big biz and major Corporations need a tax break if they are thriving and doing so well under Trump administration?


It has been quite a week. 

The Rams (8-3; First Place in the NFC West) won a gihugic game vs the New Orleans Saints to begin the week. The team travelled over the last day to Arizona to play the Cardinals tomorrow. 

I cannot wait for that game. 
Yard House
Last night, I went out to the Yard House in Morrestown to meet a few friends.

It is really horrible going out in South New Jersey but whatever, we made our own fun. Plus, there was some easy targets to mess around with including this woman that when her date left to go to the bathroom, she started talking to me and would not stop. It was very awkward and annoying. Especially because she was telling me how much she hated the type of beer I was drinking (Left Hand Milk Stout) while she was getting to the end of her yard of whatever beer was in it. You know one of those long glasses that I assume is a yard long. Luckily her date and my friend returned with only a few minutes of awkwardness. She would not stop looking at me and I just kept making sure I gained zero eye contact with her as I talked to my friend that was set in between her date and her. First, second and third off, I want zero trouble with a man on a date with a female. Especially in this area where the first reaction is to fight. 

Then all of a sudden she started making out with the guy at the bar (you could tell it was a first date BTW and besides me surmising that in the first place, you only ever make out at a bar on a first date or when you want to get laid and even still, you should maybe wait till you get outside before you start making out in public) which is a bit alarming to see at a place like the Yard House. She was also slurring which is ya know, is not exactly what I wanna meet in a girl but anyway, when I walked out she literally turns away from the guy I think in mid make out I guess to say goodbye to me but I ignored it. I acted like I did not see or hear her but I have to admit that I was flattered. She was not half bad looking.

As far as women at the place, there were a bunch in there but that was the closest I came to hooking up was that above situation which is pretty sad. Butr par for the course and it is not like I went there to hook up anyway. Though I do lover interacting with anyone that is able to but yeah, it was fun. 

And, the Yard House is my favorite place in the area. They had 110 different styles of beer on tap yesterday and the food is pretty good.

I do not know how the hell I am going to rehash this week.

Sunday was the Ram game and I doubt I did much after it. 

I can't even remember but then by Monday this week, the game begun.

I will say that it has become an embarrassment being from the United States.

President Donald J. Trump got into some weird fight with Theresa May, Great Britain’s Prime Minister, after his retweet of anti-Muslim videos that were of course falsely generated by an extreme far-right group (originally posted by Jayda Fransen, the deputy leader of the ultranationalist group Britain First ) in her country. That group BTW, is equivalent to what the KKK are here in America.

She, along with many people in the British Government, condemned it quite frankly.

"Britain First seeks to divide communities through their use of hateful narratives which peddle lies and stoke tensions," a spokesman for May said. "It is wrong for the president to have done this."

And, what does our asshole President then do? 

He sends out some asinine Tweet and you have to hear the explanation Sarah Huckabee-Sanders gave about it:
.@Theresa_May, don’t focus on me, focus on the destructive Radical Islamic Terrorism that is taking place within the United Kingdom. We are doing just fine!
First, we are NOT doing fine here in the United States.

Next, all that Tweet does is to give his base which seem to be made up in part by far-right hate groups here in the USA, credibility and something to praise. Which is what they did. David Duke, the head of the KKK gave props for the Tweets. 

Which are fake.

And, according to Sarah Huckabee-Sanders, well honestly, I am not even sure what she was saying but boy, man did that have hints of Sean Spicer in it.

She actually said something along the lines of that Trump's anti-Muslim retweets 'elevate the conversation'.
Sarah Huckabee Sanders
Check out the words in these sentences, it is a total "whatcha you talkin' about Willis" moment:

"The president feels that bringing up important issues of our time like extreme violence and terrorism are important to do," "I think what he's done is elevate the conversation to talk about a real issue and a real threat." She also stated that the "goal is to promote strong border security and strong national security." 

Jayda Franson, of Britain First, tweeted to Trump “Thanks for the retweets…I’m facing prison for criticizing Islam… Britain is now Sharia compliant I need your help! God bless!”

The Dutch government issued a statement this week saying that one of the videos re-tweeted by President Trump is a fake. That video shows a Muslim attacking a teen using a crutch was in fact a crime committed by one Dutch national against another, with neither man being Muslim.

As you may remember this week, Chuck (Schumer) and Nanci (Pelosi) did not show for a budget meeting after Trump basically tweeted that there was no chance of any deal to be made.

I thought it was good to do. Finally, the Democrats had a back bone. Then, Trump had a press conference with two empty chairs and their name tags in front of it and even Paul Ryan is using the talking point about how The Dem's basically have blown them off.

Now mind you that they blew off President Obama 98 times over 8 years but that is of course being forgotten or not forgotten, it is that the GOP's latest stance and machine that is talking over it. Which is always the caes. The Democrats always find it hard to stick up for a bill because all they depend on people hating it so bad. We saw what happened in last years election even though the GOP and Trump's admin cheated. Setting that aside, it was too close and again, the Hillary camp depended on people being so appalled by the antics of Trump, they thought she would pull it out based on that alone. She left it to be too close like (Al) Gore did in 2000 and after (George) Bush Jr's people cheated and scammed their way into office. 

Look at what went down over the their next 8 years after they scammed their ways into office.

I am sensing the same thing here because the same antiquated bills are being enacted by this current administration. Even this tax plan is based on theories that have never worked from a scientific angle. I mean the ultra rich will make out big but the middle to lower class of people will not.

The tax plan is for the likes of Trump. Of course we have never seen his tax returns to be able to gauge it but if you base this on that one segment of that tax form he released to MSNBC basically, he will benefit big time.

He lies saying that he will lose money but anyone with any pass through businesses (Trump has more than 530 of them) and that the carried interest will benefit greatly with this tax plan. S-Corporations will benefit but individuals making less than say $1,000,000 will not. 

He ran on being a man of the people and how he appreciates the working class and those people will not benefit from this tax plan. 

He is trying to pull one over on his people. 

They are also giving no information on this and they gave everyone like 5 hours to review the plan. 

What did Trump say about it? "Believe me, belief", "this tax bill will cost me a fortune" and also, his kids and family are expected to save millions under plan.

Besides, we are supposed to believe a guy that lies over 5 times a day in public let alone in private? 

The other thing is if Corporations, big business and the stock markets are doing so well under the Trump administration (which he, his kids and his people boast about all of the time), why the hell would they need a tax cut if they are thriving so much today?

Because this plan is a total massive transfer to the wealthy.
And again, trickle down economics does not work. It never worked. It is sham and it only benefits the ultra rich (companies are not going to start spending money because of tax breaks, they will decrease their debts, etc. before that happens). 

The Republican Senators literally passed a rushed and a partially hand-written tax bill that delivers $1.5 trillion to the 1% – and like I alluded to above, anyone making less than $1,000,00 will be the ones paying for it. Trump calls it “a big beautiful Christmas present.” That’s exactly what it is for Republican donors and for corporations along with the elite  rich or 1%. 

After all, let's be real about this POTUS and his businesses over the the decades, this is how he does business. He takes on a boat load of debt while he snags as much cash as possible. 

This has shades of the financial bust as certain elments get ultra rich after already being rich while while the economy crashes and burns.

This tax scam is going to break the American economy. The massive tax cuts for corporations and the 1% will be permanent. Small tax cuts for the rest of us will be temporary. By 2027, 87 million working-class and middle-class families will get a tax hike. 

There is a path to killing this bill. Click here if you want to help! They are a strategic partner of mine at SAN (http:SustainableActionnetwork.org).

Tax bill is on a course with the December 8th deadline to avoid a government shutdown. 

13 million people will also lose health insurance. Medicare, Medicaid, and other health care programs will be slashed by more than $1.5 trillion. All to cover the cost of tax breaks for people like Pfizer’s CEO Ian Read (who raked in $17.3 million last year). The bill will add a $1.5 trillion to the deficit and weigh down the economy with massive interest payments and jeopardize critical services.

This bill is even less popular than the bank bailout of 2008. 61% of voters say the plan will benefit the rich over the rest of us. They’re right.

Then President Trump tweets out how Joe (Scarborough), killed his intern in 2001.

So now that Matt Lauer is gone when will the Fake News practitioners at NBC be terminating the contract of Phil Griffin? And will they terminate low ratings Joe Scarborough based on the “unsolved mystery” that took place in Florida years ago? Investigate!

Evidently, when Joe was congressman in Florida, an intern of his was found deceased in the District Attorney's office. I did not even hear about it until Mika and Joe said they would not even respond to it and honestly, I feel the same way however, I had to show you how insane this POTUS is and what an embarrassment he is as he is representing us.
He is disgrace and he is reckless.

'Vanderpump Rules' Beauties Unite Against SeaWorld's Orca Captivity
Watch as the naked bodies of Vanderpump Rules stars Scheana Shay, Lala Kent, and Ariana Madix are transformed into "orcas" to help the women call for the freedom of the imprisoned mammals at SeaWorld.
Total Divas heated up this week but could we do without the breast milk storyline? Regardless, I can't believe the Miz's wife just went ahead and put the house up for sale without even telling him however that outcome seems to override it. The Miz is psyched about the money to be made on that sale. I also found out that there are now WWE Total Divas Barbie dolls. That is long overdue and I bet will sell well. They got a lot of hype at Comic-Con this year. As far as pumping and breastfeeding in public, it's really wild how when when Brie does it compared to every other time I've ever seen it done in public, it doesn't freak me out. How the hell she makes that seem like a thing of beauty is a testament to how hot she is.

Alright. That is it for now. I am beat from the week. 

Below deck was OK. I can't stand any of the people on that show. They are all kind of gross. What Nico is doing jumping from girl to girl depending on what area of the world he is in is annoying and again, gross. That weird Irish or English guy is just gross. The girl is gross for being the other woman and the other woman is nuts. I like the one Brazilian guy but it took a while and he is at least somewhat normal. And, I guess I like Kate but she was annoying and gross this season so screw it, they are sucked this season. Them screwing up was the story line I suppose. Remember when they made that guy sleep on the hammock or in the kitchen? That was so weak. Just get rid of the guy. 

Regardless, stay in touch. Let's Go Rams! 

OMG, I forgot to add in how Maryland (basketball) sucks. They lost like three games this week and last week. I cannot be bothered if they can't come to play. One of the players had the audacity to dip his toes in the draft and he pulled out. My feeling is that if you cannot carry a team, you have no business trying to leave early for the NBA. That has left a bad taste in my mouth and it has turned me off to Maryland Basketball for now. Well then losing to Saint Bonaventure, Syracuse and then Purdue last night is the real reason I need to give it a break. This is their worst start I bet in years. 

Anyway and again, later!
