STATE HOUSE REPUBLICAN DUSH (DOUCHE) WANTING TO IMPEACH THE STATE SUPREME COURT

Pennsylvania Rep. Cris Dush has accused accused the five Democrats on the State Supreme Court of engaging in misbehavior for ordering the new maps and subverting the process, outlined in the constitution, by which a bill can become a law. Dush asked his fellow lawmakers to sponsor legislation to impeach the five Democratic justices and bar them from holding any office in Pennsylvania.
Dush, (I think it might be pronounced douche) is a  Republican calling for the impeachment of five Democrats on the state Supreme Court who ordered lawmakers to draw a new congressional map because the current one so severely benefits the GOP that it violates the Pennsylvania constitution.
A duly elected body that got their seats through a popular election is now one this winner wants to over turn. I think the main requirement for being a Republican State Legislator are these:
1. You must be a spoiled brat.
2. You must stamp your feet when things don’t go you way.
3. You must be desperate. (Source: LuLac, Yahoo News)

PUERTO RICO SCREWED AGAIN

According to Democrats on the The U.S. agency responsible for disaster response hired a contractor that failed to deliver millions of emergency meals in hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico last year.
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee cited records that showed the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) awarded a nearly $156 million contract to a one-person company that delivered just 50,000 of the expected 30 million meals.
A one person company! How in the hell is a one person company going to handle a job like that?
The lawmakers said documents showed the company, Atlanta-based Tribute Contracting, had a history of problems handling smaller government contracts worth less than $100,000 and had been barred from government work until 2019.
So how did some company, barred working for the government get a contract? This is what happens when you put boobs in charge. Or sainted “successful” businessmen.
Representatives for Tribute and its owner, Tiffany Brown, did not respond to requests for comment.
Puerto Rico is struggling to recover from its worst natural disaster in 90 years and the largest government bankruptcy in U.S. history, with some $120 billion of combined bond and pension debt.
Hurricane Maria killed dozens and left Puerto Rico's 3.4 million U.S. citizens without power when it struck on Sept. 20, along with reducing access to clean water and other essentials. FEMA last month said it would continue to provide water, meals and other basic needs after earlier reports that it was going to halt aid. (Source: aolnews, LuLac)

TRUMP’S BIG PARADE

I guess if you’re in the doghouse because your wife, or more precisely the carrier of your son has pretty much put a chasm between the two, you need to get your jollies off somewhere. The President now has decided he wants a big military parade showing off the might of the United States Armed Services. A few things on this.
!. Showcasing the military for tributes to Veterans is one thing. Showcasing all we have to the entire world is rich. Here’s how. This guy who attacked Barack Obama for showing our hands in Mideast wars started by Republicans by the way, now wants to do a full frontal to the world of everything we have in the military.
It is hysterical that he so wants to be known as the military President when his little itty bitty bone spurs kept him out of fighting.
The cost of transporting these 600 ton tanks, deploying resources for his ego trip and the damage it will cause to the parade route is another genuflection to this maniacal asshole’s fragile ego.
Another chapter in this sad Presidency.

GENERAL KELLY, THE DREAMERS AND THE ALLEGED WIFE BEATER!

General Kelly, long touted as the moderating force for this administration now has shown where his head is located. And it ain’t above ground. Kelly is even starting to use the same language the President uses attributing a fact “to some people”. Who the hell these people are is anyone’s guess.
He stated that some DACA residents couldn’t get off their asses to enroll. Well, I think Kelly should realize that HIS government can’t be trusted. If you were a Dreamer, and you heard from this bloated fool, Trump, not Kelly, that you were a rapist, a gang member and a welfare cheat, why would you even trust THEM to do right by you? 
On the recent wife beating scandal involving Robert Porter at the White House, Kelly we are told, knew about the allegations. One has to wonder, given Kelly's non reaction, how he treated women in the military when he was in command. If he knew this, why did he acquiesce to this man's presence? 
General Kelly recently reminds me of Colonel Klink on “Hogan’s Heroes. “Anything you say sir” and hand me some of that Kool Aid.

WHAT THEY’RE SAYING ABOUT GOVERNOR WOLF’S POLITICALLY MOTIVATED BUDGET ADDRESS

“IT ESSENTIALLY SAID, ‘I’M UP FOR REELECTION, SO ARE YOU, LET’S NOT DO WHAT WE USUALLY DO.”’

The Scott Wagner campaign released some pretty tough comments on the new budget of Tom Wolf. But the words are not Wagner's but from some of the premier journalists in the state. Take a look at these quotes and thoughts. 
Yesterday, Governor Wolf gave one of the shortest budget addresses in modern history containing barely any details on his proposed initiatives and members of the media were quick to point out his politically motivated rhetoric. Below is some of what they are saying:
“The Philadelphia Inquirer’s John Baer: “So, as Wolf offered arguably the dullest and possibly shortest (19-minute) budget address in modern state history, I’m thinking the Guv was thinking differently than he was speaking…
“Then he rapid-read through a speech, absent any hint of measured oratory, lift, or inspiration. It essentially said, ‘I’m up for reelection, so are you, let’s not do what we usually do.’...
“Oh, what a difference an election year makes. For example, unlike in past budget addresses, gone were calls for broad-based (income or sales) tax hikes. And, miracle of miracles, past dire warnings of economic collapse without new taxes, and a past admonition (2016 speech) that lawmakers get their act together or ‘find another job’ also left the building…
“And substance? Very little. Mostly broad strokes. Wants more for education. A new program called PA Smart (because every new state program must be called PA-something) to ‘consolidate our workforce development efforts.’” (Inquirer, 2/7/18)
The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review Editorial Board: “Contained within his nearly $33 billion 2018 budget (about $990 million more than the current budget) are no sweeping initiatives, no income-tax boost to raise a political dust-up in an election year for Wolf, who's seeking his second term. What we have, instead, is ‘Tom Wolf's Greatest Hits.’” (TribLive, 2/6/18)
The Harrisburg Patriot’s John Micek: “In a workmanlike speech that was short on sweeping goals, peppered with boasts about his achievements, and shot through with jabs at the General Assembly, Wolf rolled out an election year budget that he no doubt hopes will help win him another four years in the top spot come November.” (PennLive, 2/6/18)
KYW’s Tony Romeo: “In a re-election year, Wolf’s budget address was largely devoted to his list of first term accomplishments. Otherwise, the governor spoke mostly in generalities about what he wants in his next budget.” (KYW, 2/6/18)
The Philadelphia Inquirer: “His speech — nearly 20 minutes long — was one of the shortest in recent memory and included nods to bipartisanship, a recognition that Wolf faces reelection and wants to avoid the broad tax-hike proposals that led to his prolonged battles with the Republican-controlled legislature in the last three years.” (Inquirer, 2/6/18)
