Hail
Trump!
House Speaker Paul Ryan threw in the
towel on the presidential race on Monday so today Trump
announced that he's "free
of the shackles" of Republican restraint and will
now campaign as he pleases.
The last time a big ape broke his shackles and ran
amuck he got shot off the Empire State building.

News out of North Carolina is that
early voting for president has shown a 50% drop in
Republican numbers compared to 2012. Democratic votes
are running slightly
above 2012 rates.
Remember, this is North Carolina, people. Not exactly
a progressive enclave. Think about what might happen
in states with
more a sensible voting infrastructure.
Yes, the House might be in play this year.

Here's comedy amongst the political headlines:
There are reportedly Republican congressional candidates
who want to publicly disavow Trump but they can't because
Mr. Tic Tac threw so much red meat at conservative
voters Sunday night. Now they'll either lose their
self-respect if they cling to Trump or outright lose
their race if they disavow him.
There is no downside to this,
kids.

The Republican Party has connived to kill the middle
class for the past 35 years, probably longer, and now
they want the presidency back based on the idea of
making the same America they damaged "Great Again".
They mean "great" for the 1%, not the rest
of us.
In 2010 they ran on a platform of creating jobs simply
to gain the Congress, then proceeded to do nothing
for six years except try to stall the economy.
Republicans think the American people are stupid.
So far, they've been right, but we can change that.
Give Hillary a progressive House and Senate. Otherwise
it's four more years of the same old nothing.

One last thing: For those who don't
remember Bill Clinton was not reponsible for NAFTA.
That honor rests
solely
with
George H.W. Bush
who
initialed it in August of 1992 and officially signed
it in December of 1992, before beating it hastily out
of town. Clinton
signed it into law in December of 1993. The
deal went into full effect on January 1, 1994.
For the record, it was approved by more Republicans
than Democrats: 234-200 in the House and 34-27 in the
Senate.

Learning Moment of the Week: If you
use the word "pu**y" several times on your web page,
Google won't serve
your ads. Sigh.
