DOUCHEBAG OF THE WEEK: JEFF SESSIONS!

Sorry for the spotty columns but I am surprisingly busy at a time where normally I have nothing to do. Trump is clearly losing his marbles and a new book this week confirms it as does a leading expert of dementia who says she went to the White House to tell them exactly that. Our president appears to be no longer in full control of his faculties and that still didn't get him the top spot as Jeff Sessions appears to be swirling the drain by literally pissing off just about everyone regardless of party. That takes talent. Let's see those runner ups.

10)Mother Nature- Fuck it is cold. I was supposed to go to Boston this weekend but it was too freaking freezing to even contemplate it. The temperature right now is around 15 below zero and it's only one o'clock. Tonight the temperatures are going to drop to around thirty below. It is going to be colder in some places on Earth than on Mars tonight. BRRRRRRR! Oh and this is explained by climate change as weather patterns are being disrupted causing the jet stream to drop like this so if someone says some pithy comment about global warming, smack them up with science and perhaps a slap to the face.

9)Cleveland Browns- Congrats to the Browns for being only the second team in history to not win one game against anyone. Way to go. Even worse, the last game was a worthless one for their opponents, the Steelers, so they sat out all of their major players for the day and they still lost. It is pretty sad if you can't win against a B team with no reason to fight. Even more stunning is their coach, with a combined two season record of one win and 31 loses, still has his job. Why?

8)Stock Market- The Dow has been soaring lately. It is also way overdue for a correction, one that will most likley be at least thirty percent and chances are good it will happen this year. All signs point to a slow down such as terrible job numbers last month that both the press and White House are jumping up an down about which strikes me as odd. We only gained officially around 150,000 but not much worse than a year ago. However as that number overestimates job growth by around 120,000, most likley only thirty thousand jobs were actually created and all signs point to even further slowing as has been happening since 2014. When the bottom falls out, Trump, who has been taking credit for an economy he had nothing to do with, will get a face plant when it all goes south.

7)Star Wars: The Last Jedi- I haven't seen this movie yet which probably explains why it isn't do so well. It also doesn't help that the target audience are people like my eight year old nephew and he didn't care for it. I can't say what the problem is until I see it later this week, but movie going is slowing down in general for two major reasons. One, the films that came out this year were overwhelmingly terrible and people are going less, myself included. And two, movies are so expensive and terrible, it is far cheaper to stay home and watch it on Netflix of cable. Considering credit card use went way up this year says people are tapped out again and that means a crash is coming. Putting out a Star Wars movie every year is also probably not a wise business decision either. Next year gives us the troubled Han Solo movie. I don't think it will do that well is current trends continue.

6)#Metoo- We are getting dangerously close to a point where men and women cannot work together anymore. This week came unsubstantiated claims against Ben Vereen and Paul Haggis. Vareen has admitted he acted badly (can no man keep it in his pants anymore?) while Haggis seems unknown, especially as the main accuser appears to be a blackmailer. Three others have come forward but what they are suggesting, rape and the like, could be true or it could be attention seekers.My problems now is why didn't this come out months ago. Are newspapers just sitting on stories waiting for one to break away from the others or are women coming forward with dollar signs in their eyes? It is getting to a point where women are going to be treated way different at work from men and their careers will suffer for it.

5)Iran- The country erupted in anger this week, setting up mass demonstrations in a place where that is normally forbidden. The biggest crowds since 2009, they chanted things like "death to the Ayatollah," a welcome refrain from death to America. Police stations were attacked as well. This is far different than 2009 as that had to do with an election dispute while this is about economics. People are mad about lack of jobs and high inflation. Sounds like both Iranian citizens and US citizens agree that their governments suck.

4)Republicans- These losers are trying to kill this country. There has been a concerted effort to diminish the news, the FBI and everyone in this country not a Republican. They have gone after everyone in law enforcement who isn't a Trump butt kisser. They have attacked Mueller as corrupt and out of his depth. They say Trump is a genius. None of that is true. What is true is that anyone voting for these assholes should be shot. Traitor comes to mind as a word.

3)Steve Bannon- Sloppy Steve got run over this week when all the power he construed came crashing down. The book Fire and Fury along with an interview in the Guardian, showed Bannon throwing serious shade at the President. As a result, his major backer, the Mercers, pulled all their funding and rumor is he is going to be fired from Breitbart. So much for running for President in 2020. You'll be lucky to get a job at Barnes and Noble.

2)Trump- What an ass he was this week. The book that came out scorched him badly and instead of damage control he all but guaranteed it to be a huge hit by screaming about it like a two year old. Ironically, that is the common theme of the book where everyone who meets the president thinks he acts like a child. His tweets have become even more deranged lately and many in the expert fields say Trump is showing clear signs of dementia, a fact I concur with. Check out old videos of Trump and he comes across far smarter than now. There is something wrong with the man who not only has access to nuclear weapons but an insane desire to use them. If we don't get rid of this man soon, we may all perish.

1)Jeff Sessions- Nobody was as stupid and unaware as the rabid Keebler elf found this week when he managed to piss off just about everyone, Republican and Democrat alike. The Freedom Caucus wants him gone so they can get a lackey in there to fire Mueller and demanded that this week. Vulnerable politicians in pro pot states lost their minds when dumbass rescinded an Obama era law that prevented federal prosecutors from going after legal weed. The damage was immediate. Polls showed that now 80% want Sessions fired for this. Senator Cory Gardner from Colorado told Sessions he will holdup all Justice Nominees until he backs off and the federal prosecutor of the same state told Sessions to pound sand. He got sued by several states and a twelve year old girl who has NO seizures since being prescribed weed. Good luck with that. Part of me wants him gone and the other part wants him to stay so Mueller doesn't get fired causing the next revolution to begin, which it will. This guy, like almost all of Trump's picks so far, have been horrendous but I have to say he has been the worst at it, barely edging out Betsy Devos. Ryan Zinke or whatever ass will soon run the EPA. Congratulations Jeff Sessions, you are indeed douchebag of the week.

Columns will be spotty again this week. I will be back by Wednesday or Thursday to explain what giant fuck up will happen with Trump at the helm. Impeachment better happen soon because we are not going to last three more years.
