The above is a picture of Hugo Chavez’s daughter Maria Gabriela Chavez who is an alternate ambassador to the UN for Venezuela. She is reported to be worth about 4 billion dollars which she has hidden in banks all over Europe. So my question here is why hasn’t somebody tried to freeze those assets and expel her from the UN. I mean that money would go a long way towards helping her country. It’s mind boggling how these poor revolutionaries get the peasants to revolt then before you know it they’re the new elite. It happens everywhere Cuba, the Mid East, Russia everywhere. Poor people fight the wars and then get screwed even here it happens. But getting back to Venezuela. The country has a chance to help itself by seizing the assets of Maduro and his family as well as the Chavez brats. But you know I don’t here the Trumpster trying to get her out of the country or get he money back to the people. Must be something about them Billionaires sticking together to stick to us ordinary folks. This Flounder and Fats saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

 Well this has been some week. The Trumpster went to meet with Rocket man Kim and that didn’t go well. I guess Kim never read the Art of the Deal so he didn’t know how great the Trumpster was. The Trumpster never bothered to ask anybody for advice which is typical of him and his ego. He believes he knows what is best for everyone. Then the Trumpster’s ex lawyer Michael Cohen testified before the House and just about buried him. But don’t worry the Trumpster has found something to really screw things up. He is putting forth an executive proclamation to order to force colleges to allow free speech to everyone. Now on the surface this sounds like a good thing trust me its typical Trumpster deception. What it will end up doing is preventing the schools from keeping radicals like the heads of the Nazi and other white power groups from speaking on their campus’s. The order needs to written so that schools can stop these people if they believe there is the slightest chance of violence. This order once again represents his and the rest of the old white guys in our Government desire to make this country the segregated mess it was back in the 50’s. I believe if they have their way America will become a third rate country. I also believe they want to do away with our present form of government and replace it with a form of serfdom. As you know I live in Colombia and it has a multitude of problems beginning with corruption at every level but the way things are going I feel better about its future then Americas.

 Welcome to Sunday and floundersgreatadventure.com. Everybody is waiting to see special counsel Muller’s report on the Trumpster. The Democrats and those that hate the Trumpster believe he will be castrated by the report. But I ‘ve seen this guy skate every time people think he should go to jail. I for one would not be surprised if he comes out of this looking like a victim. This of course will just make the Democrats insane and will probably cause more of them to run for President, which of course will pretty much guarantee the Trumpster reelection. There are already rumors that he,if he loses, will not go quietly into the night. The same might be true if he is impeached. He has after all shown a complete disregard for the Rule of Law. I think that the Trumpster will walk away pretty much unscathed by the report because if it was truly damaging to him some or all of it would of leaked. I’m sure it will find a lot of wrong doing but as how much sticks to him, well you remember the Teflon Don don’t you. Everybody wants to give him credit as being a great deal maker. But that isn’t his great ability. His ability to blame others and walk away with his reputation and money still intact now thats his magic ability. I think, barring some magic by Muller himself, that theres a good chance the Trumpster could pull off another magic trick and the country could be stuck with this asshole for another six years. Oh and those who say well them they’ll just have to impeach him. Well they can do that but getting him out will be a lot harder than they think. I see two kinds of Trumpster foes out there, the ones that hate him on rationally and those that just want thing to go back the way they were. I have no idea who will walk away in the next few weeks happy and who will walk away crying. This is Flounder and Fats saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

I saw an interesting story on the Internet this morning about Payless shoes closing all its US stores. Now I think I might know why. They recently decided to start selling upgraded brands and styles and I think that sunk them. I remember being in Kmart one day and looking at bath towels that were good quality for about 9 dollars. I didn’t have money with me just then so I went back a few days later and they had acquired the Martha Stewart brand now the same quality towel was around 12 to 15 dollars. It was a week later on a Saturday that I went in to look at some fishing gear and noticed the store was half empty a couple of years later it was gone. I believe that stores that make their money selling quality discounted products and then suddenly decide to upgrade lose a lot of their base and that causes them to go under. Now take that and apply it to political parties or individual politicians and you’ll see how a ass hole like the Trumpster can get elected. Both parties forgot the part of the constitution that says WE THE PEOPLE and decided that it was more about them than us. I don’t know if America is smart enough to fix this or if it and its Democracy are about to become the Radio Shack of countries. This is Flounder and Fats saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

Hi guys I’m home recovering from Hernia surgery and so long as the drugs hold out I think I’ll be ok. So I guess you’ve seen all the stuff about how bad things are in Venezuela right now and the Trumpster saying he may have to order troops to intervene. Well first the countries of South America do not want American troops in Venezuela. They remember how they helped Chili and Argentina by sending in agriculture advisers that were really CIA and they were training the secret police. They killed tens of thousands of people so they’re really not welcome down here. You have to know that if the Trumpster wants to help people he really doesn’t like there has to be motive because the Trumpster doesn’t have an altruistic bone in his body. Remember he used his charities money to pay his taxes. So what is up to? Could he be after the second largest oil reserves in the world or the diamonds and gold and other natural resources found there. That is a more likely scenario then any other altruistic motive. One thing that is unquestionably true about the Trumpster is he’s not going to do something unless it benefits him personally. The average guy doing his taxes is finding that out tight now. I could right more about this but its very uncomfortable sitting here at my desk so for now we’ll just say this is Flounder and Fats saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.

I think it’s time for Americans to start to be really afraid of those in power. You have a president whose administration is removing itself from most international treaties. Your president has a friendly relationship with leaders that would be Ok if they were accomplishing some good, but there not. He openly disregards his advisers for his own uninformed opinion. Thats opinion folks not any real facts. He thinks coal and Oil are the way to go even when confronted by information that says these will not last another 50 years before there gone for good. He is only interested in himself and we should not be surprised by this. He says he wants to negotiate a new Nuclear arms deal with Russia. Allowing him to do that would be a colossal mistake. Not just because of his secret relationship with Putin but because of his complete lack of knowledge of the subject. I used to think that Bush and some of the earlier presidents were really dumb but that was before the Trumpster. The really sad part its not just the Trumpster but politicians in general. The only way to rid the country of this man and his lackeys is through the electoral process. A process that some politicians like Mitch McConnell are absolutely scared shitless about. Its not just Republicans that are afraid it’s those that have been in office far too long that are afraid as well. The Trumpster if thing continue along this path will get reelected which scares everybody in the world. Not possible you say the Democrats will win. Maybe! But I wouldn’t count on it. No something has to be done or years from now history will be referring to this time as the fall of American Democracy with some going so far as to say it was the coming of the Anti Christ. This is Flounder and Fats saying CIAO and that the time for action is now from Medellin, Colombia.

Well lets talk about last Sundays Saints rams game shall we. I don’t have to say anything to the people that saw it and the blown call by the refs. Actually blown call is wrong they completely missed it. The result probably cost the Saints the game. Now ams fans and some others will say that the Saint should never have allowed themselves to be in that position. Well folks if you watched the game you know the same could be said for the Rams. People believe two ways one that the league is corrupt and the other side says shit happens or worst yet it wasn’t a penalty. Well it wasn’t a penalty it was two penalties on one play and both were missed. How this happened when at least three different TV cameras caught the play live is a mystery to me. It’s also a mystery to me why people aren’t asking that question or where exactly was the referee at when the play occurred. Was he taking a bathroom break did he fall down was he having a senior moment. The NFL needs a better explanation for what happened besides we blew it. The Saint player lost money and maybe any chance hey had to get to play in a Super Bowl. Just about every body at the game saw hat play because its human nature to follow the ball. Now that means thousands of people saw it in the stadium and millions on TV. So explain it to me that the people who get paid to see such things didn’t see it at all. Oh wait the ref was seven yards away and didn’t see it. Maybe they need to check his blood and urine or better yet his eyes.There are law suits, billboards and boycotts about this play in a football game. Now this says a lot for our countries priorities when kids and cops are getting killed everyday by guns and we get upset for a day or two and then it’s back to usual and they say this play will be talked about forever.

Well th US government has been shut down for almost a month now, because our politicians have decided to be juvenile about this Wall issue. The Trumpster needs it so he can tell his supporters see I did what I said I would. Well even if he gets his Wall it won’t be paid for by Mexico no matter what he claims. Average American citizens will end up paying for it just like his Tax cut. He points to history to show you how effective a Wall can be. China built the biggest wall ever and it didn’t stop anything. The Mexican cartels have been sending drugs under, over and around anything we’ve put down there to stop them, now we have done technology. If Amazon can have drones deliver packages to you door don’t you think the cartels can do the same with drugs. As for criminals coming across the border most come in legally. Every mafia boss that ever lived came to this country legally. The 9/11 hijackers entered the country legally 15 from a Muslim country that isn’t on any no fly list Saudi Arabia. The people crossing the Mexican border are not taking jobs from Americans, not unless Americans want to pick strawberries, or wash cars, or any of the other menial jobs that in recent years Americans believe are beneath them. American lose jobs because people from Asia can com here legally on a special work visa. They will work for less they don’t get benefits and in a lot of cases are better educated in the type of work. I’ve written plenty about how manufacturing jobs will never be at levels that they were at 20 years ago because of automation and now with the development of artificial intelligence it will only get worse. Nothing that is being said in Congress by the Trumpster or the res of the Republicans will change anything. So lets take that Wall money and put it towards education and health care.

ALL IS WELL IN THE WORLD I HAVE SURVIVED ANOTHER YEAR

Well all the politicians are back in DC getting paid to do nothing while government workers go without pay. Some are laid off during this shutdown while others are forced to work with out pay. The scary thing is this could happen again next year with the Trumpster in the oval office, he’s like like a little baby throwing a tantrum every time he can’t get his way. He has no empathy for anyone as evidenced by his threat to stop Fema funds going to the victims of the California fires. I think he thinks if he threatens enough people Congress will make a deal to give him his wall. The wall will do nothing but give him a political victory with his base. That in turn will must likely guarantee his reelection. That he wants to be reelected is surprising since he never wanted the job in the first place. He just wanted to be able to stand on the sidelines and criticize others with outlandish statements that because he wasn’t in office would have no effect on him personally. Now every time he open his mouth it has consequences to him. He has turned himself from a critic of the system to a laughing stock of the system. His position as a world leader is non existent he has destroyed our place In the world. He believes like Nixon did that the President can do anything he wants or say whatever he wants it it will automatically be considered to be truth and the right thing. We were able to stop Nixon because he got caught. This man surrounds himself with lackeys that will lie to protect him. It seems now that this wall of lackeys is starting to develop some cracks. The problem is his supporters still believe in him. Now granted most are uneducated bigots but they still vote. I hope this year sees an end to the Trumpster and his lackeys but if it doesn’t I for see him being reelected and the country becoming a third world dictatorship. With that being said I’m going to get a cup of coffee and watch the playoffs while Flounder does his thing which sleep. This is Flounder and Fats saying CIAO from Medellin, Colombia.
