Takin’ Five

We’re taking a little break here at the Bucket. We’re big time science enthusiasts and although the results of hurricanes are terrifying, we find the science behind what makes hurricanes endlessly fascinating. These last two storms, Harvey and Irma, and their aftermaths have left us exhausted and depressed and it’s only half way through the season. You throw in Hurricane Trump and the Republican goons and…well…we’re taking a break.

So we’ll be back in October. Hopefully by then, Robert Mueller will be closer to ending his investigation and maybe, just maybe, Trump will be wearing horizontal pinstripes.

Gone Fishin' - Be Back Soon!

We’re taking a break America. We’ll be back real soon.

It’s The Size That Counts

It’s only been one day since the inauguration of American CEO/Dictator Donald Trump, and already the bullshit is flying. But then again, the bullshit has been flying ever since Trump first announced he’s running for President.

Trump administration Press Secretary Sean Spicer threw a hissy fit at the press over the press accurately reporting that the crowd size was less than that of Obama’s in 2009 and 2013. Of course, CEO/Dictator Trump claimed that his inauguration was the hugest ever stating that over 1 million people attended. Aerial photographs proved this claim to be completely false. Trump also “falsely claimed it stopped raining and the sun came out just as he started speaking when, in fact, the rain continued and the day remained overcast and cloudy.” Holy crap, that’s seriously delusional! But then again, what do you expect from a guy with such outrageously huuuuuuge hands.

One thing’s for sure: there will be no shortage of material for us here at the Bucket for the next four years.

UPDATE : Jan. 22 – Crowd scientists estimate that the Women’s March in Washington on January 21st had three times as many people as the Trump inauguration.

American CEO/Dictator Donald Trump proclaims that the crowd size at his inauguration was as big as his hand size.

Benghazi? What’s Benghazi?

The Republicans sure picked the wrong symbol for their party logo because it seems that they’ve already forgotten about Benghazi. Two of the occupants of the Republican Clown Car this past year, smuggest Senator alive, Ted Cruz, and Marco Rubio, a.k.a. Marcobot 2016(oops he’s probably had new software installed, so Marcobot 2017), have introduced a bill that will cut funding for embassies throughout the world unless new American CEO/Dictator Donald Trump moves the American embassy in Israel to Jerusalem. This comes after three years of a political witch hunt on Hillary Clinton about the Benghazi incident which resulted in no wrongdoing found and wasting millions of taxpayers dollars. Of course, Benghazi could have been prevented if more funding had been provided by the stingy Republicans in the first place.

So Republicans basically want to rinse and repeat their disastrous decisions (sound familiar – trickle down economics, tax cuts to the rich, etc…) which will result in more Benghazi like attacks in the future. But then again, Trump is in the White House so the neocon media circus will cover it up like they did the 13 Benghazi like incidents which occurred during the Bush administration.

We’re also thinking that ol’ Marcobot may have some defective chips in his circuitry or a defective operating system, because this legislation does not compute.

Smuggest Senator alive, Ted Cruz, and Marcobot 2017, replete with defective logic and circuitry, guarantee further Benghazi like attacks with their idiotic bill that will cut funding for security 50 percent for embassies throughout the world.
