So here we go again.....
The ninth circuit court ruled, that basically Trump could not overturn Obama DACA enactment.
Now, I said that in my first DACA blog
This court ruling is designed to prevent any non-action by Congress about DACA, that allows the 'old" law reinstated. Non-action by congress, will maintain the DACA enactment.
Another thing it says.. is that if congress voids the enactment.. there will be additional court actions to determine the extent to which the enactment can be voided.. Basically what that means........ is that those who registered under the Obama enactment will be grandfathered in.
Now......the blackmail for pork-barreling the bill to get Democrats on board can, if the Democrats choose,.. can be a walk away.
What the courts have actually done.....is to take the fall for the legalization (as opposed to citizenship).. so it doesn't fall on Trump. Legalization is a done deal, but nobody wants the credit or the blame ..Democrats are sell outs, to not get a path to citizenship...and Republican can maintain their deportation base.. with an excuse to blame those nasty liberal courts.
And , of course, let's not forget Obama... It's all his fault... DAH!

DANG ME
Well, here I sat high, getting ideas.
I ain't nothing but a fool to live like this.
Out all night, and running wild,
Woman sitting home...acting like a .
So:
So Ban me, Ban me
You ought to take a Belt and Tan me.
Tan me from the highest treeeeeeee,
Woman would you weep for meeeeeee
***********
I ain't good enough, I ain't smart enough
And doggone it..
People don't like me!

"I Feel Lucky"
Well I woke up this morning stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny, under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head
It said "the stars are stacked against you boy, get back in bed"
I feel lucky, I feel lucky, yeah
No Professor Doom gonna stand in my way
Mmmmm, I feel lucky today
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pot's eleven million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of Camels, a burrito and a Barq's
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying, "boy, you better get back home"

Oh Brother where art thou?
I can not see
beyond the wall
or in a tree
The other side of the fence
hiding from me
In the towns
or out in the country
Are you gone
to find another?
have you forgotten
Our family, our mother
Have you abandoned me?
and choose to disobey
Just because we disagree
You got to make your own way.
****************
"Oh Brother... Dear Brother
Open your eyes, see what you do.
How can you imagine, there is another
When all this time, I've been standing next to you"

Tax Cuts... Trickle Down Economics

There's something people don't understand when it comes to Business and Corporation taxes......To pay them... YOU HAVE TO MAKE A PROFIT.
So tax expenditures are marginal to only PROFIT.
With tax cuts the question becomes where does the Additional Profit go.
Well they would have you believe it's trickle down economics...... the more profit THEY make the better off YOU are. When the truth is just the opposite.. the better off YOU are, the more profit THEY make.
For the Wealthy, Business and Corporation... there are substantial tax loopholes, that create tax avoidance. You need to remember that only effects the PROFITABLE, You don't get it. You don't get to use it.
A paper reduction in profit, creates more tax advantage than tax cuts. Hiding profit so you pay no taxes on it, is far more substantial, than paying less taxes by a tax cut. The only thing that matters is that businesses do not like the government telling them what they need to do to avoid taxes. Which is ironic to tax cuts, and the opposite of what they are telling you. Because what the government allows them to do to avoid taxes.. Is improve the economy. Now, we are suppose to believe they are just going to do it, on their own.
The fact is... what we have now is "trickle down economics".. and more profit isn't going to increase the trickle.
When we look at Businesses and Corporation one needs to understand the options they have to make themselves MORE PROFITABLE. Tax relief is only one option, and is only marginal to PROFIT... You got to make a PROFIT to pay taxes.
The first option is to ALWAYS make PROFIT
Business and Corporation, don't look a gift in the mouth, they'll take profit anywhere they can get it. but do YOU think they have a notion.. to take that Profit and use it to improve the economy? It may happen, but it doesn't happen because they choose to make it happen.

"Unsubstaniated Facts"

Kind of an oxymoron....That Maisie tries to use oxy-clean, So it just leaves us a moron.
Let's talk about unsubstantiated facts... kind of like "alternative facts"
It has been speculated, as to why Hiilary's Campaign did not use the dosier they paid for prior to the election......Well, I believe for two reason.. they didn't think they HAD to, and second, it was "unsubstantiated facts". Some people draw a line in the sand of what is "unsubstantiated facts' It's kind of News Media thing, unless you are FOX NEWS.
It interesting that Mueller's investigation has a lot moving part..moving, because maisie want to move them where she wants them.
So this is what I don't understand, of maisie opinions.... "unsubstantiated facts".
In regards to Trump and his collusion with Russians, what we have is unsubstantiated lies. There are few other things, that in the "witch hunt" of Trump become unsubstantiated lies
Although Trump has no clue, because of his truth hyperbole, of the difference between facts and unsubstantiated facts. Every time, Trump opens his mouth.. his lies become facts... and even if you don't believe it......You aren't permitted to argue with that what he says is just "unsubstantiated facts", and not just lies..

KELLY..on the hot seat, for saying the "Civil War" was result of a "Lack of Compromise"."

The specifics of an issue always seem to overwhelm the "Big Picture" of the issue.
Narrowminded people with narrowminded views. That either are self serving or lack vision. What makes perfect sense to me, doesn't make sense to other people.
What Kelly, didn't say , but some people heard, was the abolishment of slavery was a result of lack of compromise. Those people reside on both the left and the Right.
Before, I totally take the side of the right on this let me explain a few things....
First the Right does it all the time..but that doesn't make it right for the Left.
Second those on the Right that actually interpret it that way, are meaningless, yet we give them meaning. Racists and fascists are meaningless in regards to politics. Tools used to prevent a "lack of compromise"
In the case of Kelly's statement we need to interpret.. The Civil War, as Any Civil War. You can't change it, "The Civil War" is always going to be A civil war. Any civil War is going to be a result of a "lack of compromise" . A lack of compromise is a result of a lack of respect. It's ironic.. that my interpretation of Kelly's Statement was not FOR the RIGHT, but against the Right. The South defending their moral right, for untenable issue. with or without the Civil War, slavery was NEVER going to last.
Slavery was the single most specific issue of the civil war, yet it was just an issue, that defined the bigger issue. In 170 years the issue hasn't changed very much... Except the sides of the issue.
No matter how you try to slice it, slavery is not a legal issue..It's a moral issue.
In the Civil War, the North, no matter how right they were, tried to make slavery a "legal issue". They were taking their moral issue, making it a legal issue, then imposing it on others.
That sounds awful familiar to me. As the Right now tries to make their moral issues, on LGBT, on women, on immigrant, on religion......Legal issues.
The way I read Kelly.. is that we now have returned to the time of the Civil war, and a potential new civil war.....The cause is the same, just the specific issues are different.
It's about morals, and a "lack of compromise", a lack of respect, And the idea that one groups morals MUST be imposed on others, without compromise.

Bad judgments

I regret my feeling about George W Bush, and my categorizing him as the worse President because of the war in Iraq, and the collapse of financial industries. Both I thought were preventable.
I don't look at George W Bush the same way anymore. We certainly have a right to disagree with our President and decide if he's making bad judgments. But bad decisions result from choices. Choices that are judged by the options and the results. Hind sight is twenty/twenty. We need to decide if bad judgment, were a choice or were a calculated automatic decision.
We don't do that in our lives, because for the most part other peoples lives don't depend on it. We can judge our options and if the results are not what we want, wish we had choose a different option.
When we we make those decision as a group it's total different.
Bad judgments don't become specific to choices, but go the to the base of the decision making.
There's not a word to explain it... but there are bad judgments made on choices and choices that are not "realized" because of bad judgment. in first case it's specific to a choice and in the second case it's specific to the kind of judgment we make and to all choices. Intent eliminates choices.
For Bush, my thought of what he did was to make a bad judgment.
In the case of Trump, what he does is to have bad judgment. A judgment that is pre-ordained, without consideration of the options. Intent over substance.
Trump supporter also have bought into it...Intent over substance.
Granted there are times when intent over substances works, and the results are good.
But good or not.. it's still bad judgment.

Trump Supporters

Well, I have been listening to Trump supporters and I hear them load and clear.
There is a commonality.
It has nothing to do with political views, ideologies, issues.
The conclusion I have come to is that they all have one thing in common.
They all see government is not about them.
They all see government is about other people.
They all blame the government for a negative portion of their lives.
They all feel like the victims, either directly or by being ignored.
They are all tired of the inequality of it.
In regards to issues, they really don't see the value to solve the issue, to solve their problems, And issues still are solving "other" peoples problems..
So what are they after? Why Trump?
Well in true Americanism...... They are after equality.
Somehow that means, if their problem aren't going to be solved.... then no one else is either. Everyone gets to feel, like they feel. Liberals just kill them, trying to solve the problems of "other' people.
Trump solves that for the them.......everyone else becomes the victim, frustrated, and have a target on their back. As Trump says he's a winner, he always wins...What they hear is they are no longer the only losers, as they see themselves as having nothing more to lose. It simply payback, for their years of frustration.
Listen to them.. There isn't one happy person who supports Trump

Character Assination.

When it come down to it politically this country has a character problem.
It's pretty obvious, but this question becomes how.. How is it , we now devalue character?
It's the reason we believe in the swamp. In the reason we don't trust Washington DC
Well, as far as politics goes, there;'s a couple of reasons.
The first reason is we have been let down, too often. those we thought had character, turned out to be just characters.
Second, those who have character, and speak in character are too easily turned. Into something they are not. Either from the inside or from the outside, either by convenience, or ideological propaganda.
So what happened is we can no longer believe our eyes or our ears. In Washington character does not exist.
it began way before Bush, but, we didn't believe it. with Bush we began to believe it, and with Obama we were convinced to believe it.
So it now doesn't matter, even if it hits you over the head.
Trump and Hillary, never became a character debate.. because we couldn't trust character, No matter what our eyes told us, our mind told us... whatever their character is.. they are equal
So in our mind Trump's dishonesty is really just being honest. Character in Washington has become just a mirage, in a desert...with a great big swamp in the middle. But without character it's just a desert.
Now tell me about "fake news"? You bought into so much, you don't know the difference
