Feds tour Border Wall prototypes in Otay Mesa near San Diego.

Oh goodie. My government is going to pay for this while my ACA increases by 30+% and I will lose my subsidies(50% of my disability income). Living in this country is not only embarrassing but it sucks in a lot of ways thanks to the GOP and fucking moron.

Have you ever taken or given an IQ test?

I was trained as a teacher of the Gifted and Talented and I have taken them as I prepared for the credential and I also administered them. I also was given an IQ test as were all the students in my high school in the 9th and 11th grades. It is a test that is based on patterns so that language isn't a factor. Once a 3rd grade teacher told me that a student who took the longest to complete the test was from India and she watched him actually turn the test paper around and around, viewing it from different angles. He scored at the genius IQ level. My sister and my niece also scored in the genius level. My sister attended Penn, the same Ivy league school as the moron. My family has many doctors, researchers, etc in professions that require intelligence and I do not know what their IQs are/were but I can assure you that none of them, none of my students, none of my fellow teachers, and none of my fellow students throughout all of my years as a student and educator ever once claimed how intelligent they are.

The moron may have gotten into an Ivy League school, but I doubt he is a genius from my experience. I DO want to see his scores. If he scores over 145 than he is a genius. Yet, that doesn't mean he is intelligent either. Many people have photographic memories but that is all it is...they can not apply it to specific problems/solutions in everyday jobs and their own lives. As a teacher of students with special needs means those student with both high and low IQs. They are all "special" and that means that they have specific learning strengths and weaknesses. The moron in chief most likely has special needs but from what I have gathered it is due to mental disabilities...extreme narcissistic, sociopath disorders which make him unfit to serve as president...even an illegitimate one.

401Ks are now on the table again.

The fucking moron flipped again (twice in 24 hours...what a surprise). R Reich was on CNN and as an economic wizard and former Clinton cabinet member was able to stay calm and rational during an interview on CNN with another GOP puppet defending the moron screwing the middle class after his loser/leader said he wouldn't touch the 401K of the middle class with his tax reform budget. I hope all the middle class 45 voters get royally screwed as I also wish for his base/cult voters who will lose their health insurance and go bankrupt and become even more ill and die. Unfortunately I am in need of the ACA with subsidies and socked all of my very low teacher income into 401Ks before I got so sick that I couldn't teach and before I was old enough to collect teacher retirement and benefits. I am using all of my savings and will go bankrupt just to avoid dying in severe pain (my diagnosis since last Sept.).

I am a life long liberal as is my entire family and my friends. I voted in EVERY election ( local etc.)since I was 18. I taught my students (first graders) how to vote and we did it throughout the school year. I taught civics to them and how to be a good citizen which was NOT in the first grade curriculum but I did it by "sneak teaching" like good teachers do. I DID NOT vote for this idiot/moron. The moron's base and the middle class white GOP voted for him. They will suffer as they should. I should not!

Have you checked out Steyers' TV ads NeedToImpeach.com?

I just did and he has a letter to read stating a rational arguement for impeachment.

Flake, Corker are leaving

like rats from a sinking ship. Who's next? Collins? Whoever is still rational, has self respect and doesn't put party and money over country will follow suit. Do any actually still exist?

We must get that damn pee pee tape somehow! Other countries' intelligence know it exists and it is the fucking moron's Achilles Heel.

Steven Spielberg or some other great director should produce their own and make it look legit (sort of like that old Alien Autopsy video). Even if it isn't real but close enough, it could send 45 over the edge into full blown mental melt down much, much faster and easier. That would get him committed to a mental ward before Mueller finishes the investigation and the 2018 possible loss in the midterms.

The moron is dumber than Nixon

since he won't shut up and can't stop drawing attention to the Steele Dossier through his constant tweets. Paying the legal fees for his staff (AKA hush money) is what Nixon wanted to do too. Keith is friendly with John Dean and they speak often giving Keith an inside perspective on how these things play out...or "pay out".

Strong, dry hot winds worsen in San Diego County.

SDG&E has turned off power in some areas to prevent sparks from igniting. Record breaking heat (over 100 degrees) continues to keep schools closed in one of the nation's largest school districts.

Schools closed due to hot, dry and windy weather

in Southern California. San Diego has called for "minimum day" as a severe threat of fires is issued for the week.

What is the moron-in-chief's Achilles' heel?

I figure that we can't wait for Mueller and the GOP could maintain control after the 2018 mid-terms so there has to be a way to make The Donald go incredibly nuts in full view while cameras are rolling. Only if he has a complete and full blown mental melt down will they invoke the 25th. Someone who is non partisan needs to purposely do or say something that will do the job instantly in a well documented way. What could instigate a severe mental collapse?

About BigmanPigman

I am 57, retired teacher and illustrator, life-long dem., activist, union member. Also I do not use social media and I'm technologically retarded. I love dogs, rock music and swearing (a lot). My 17 year old "puppy" died on June 2, 2020. She grew up listening to Animals (Pink Floyd). She has kept me sane through the tRump years, not easy, and has given me endless love, companionship, kisses and tail wags.
