Reply To Jeff S.'s Comment About the Hawaiian Judge

It's amazing how easily an ignorant, racist senator from some backwater state can be appointed as US Attorney General where he can push his Jim Crow policies on the whole United States.

SSA Entitlement: Your Right We're Entitled, Its Our Damn Money!

The GOP makes Entitlement sound like a dirty word, like the song lyrics "Money for nuthin and your" chickschecks "for free."  But nothing is further from the truth.  We earn a decreasing amount of interest from the Federal government (high of 11.6% in 1984 to 3.2% in 2016) who takes our FICA/SECA reserve funds and replaces it with Treasury Bonds (loans to the Feds) which the SSA cashes in each year to pay out benefits.  So what's the whining about by the GOP member's of Congress who are using our money at a bargain basement interest rate?  Who %^&* know!!!

And now T-rump wants to eliminate FICA/SECA OASDI which makes up 50% of the average retiree's income.  Boy Howdee I'm glad you sensible farmers and factory workers in the Red States elected Tyrannosaurus-RUMP for President!  Nothing like tossing your ethics and self respect out the window for a racist, misogynist ASS HOLE for President.

Rex Tillerson (King Farmer's Son?) current Secretary of State
Salary$205,700 (2017)[1]
Net worth$245 million (2016)
Mar 31, 2017 - U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says Washington will ease sanctions against Russia over the conflict in Ukraine only when Moscow ..
(http://www.businessinsider.com/after-much-speculation-tillerson-declares-us-will-keep-sanctions-on-russia-over-ukraine-2017-3Apr
Apr 10, 2017 - He (Rex Tillerson) said the United States will 'hold to account' all who implement atrocities against innocent people in different countries)

Perhaps Rex should look at Amnesty International's web page (http://www.amnestyusa.org/research/reports/amnesty-international-state-of-the-world-2015-2016?page=show)
Which lists 19 Countries (including the US) in their current report on HR abuses.  Rex is going to commit the US to reigning in coutnries that represent about 2 - 3 Billion people, from committing Human Rights Abuses.  Yet in numerous statements in just the last two weeks he has not been able to pin down whether, Syria's Asad, or North Korea's Kim as violaters of human rights for which the US will take any action:

Perhaps Rex should go back to pumping petrol gas vice political gas.

Can T-rump Actually Learn?!

I am impressed!  No tweet, no mouth, just action.  T-rump LISTENED to his military advisers and NSA analysts and struck th base where Assad launched his chemical weapons attack.  Although I still think Obama was a great President he sucked when it came to knowing when to drop the diplomacy and take action.  Like when he said, "Chemical weapons were the bright line that could not be crossed," and Assad did and Obama sat their impotently wary of the Russians.

Maybe T-rump is getting the idea; less mouth, less tweets, more diplomacy and when needed action.  I hope Putin is PO'd!  If T-rump can start acting like a President and less like a Buffoon it will take the wind out of the Putin-T-rump Campaign investigation.

Now if T-rump has real balls he'll stand up to the oil magnates (e.g., Koch Bros) fire Rick Perry and Rex Tillerson then he won't look like the Oil Magnates' pet dog.  And, T-rump won't go down in history as the President that Raped America's Natural Resources.
