People have enough trouble without some a-hole politicians making it way worse by constantly trying to convince you to be scared of immigrants, religions, people of color, law enforcement, just to name a few. Only in Trumps America has this become so prevalent! It has always been there to some extent, but now, anything to distract you from the Trump bus that is losing its wheels and about to careen off of Immoral Bridge into Liars Creek in really deep, deep, water!

There is a new movie out comparing Democrats to Nazis and Trump to Lincoln. First off, the term Honest Abe comes to mind, I dare you to use that as a comparison! History, what is that? Sorry, but I am always harping that if you do not know our past history and how it affects our current history, then you cannot know the facts. As you pointed out, what determined the Republicans and Democrats has flipped and are almost complete opposites in ideology now from what was. History, history, history, you must know it! Not knowing history is what allows holocaust deniers to exist! It is also the reason people who claim the bible dates the Universe have no clue that there are ancient writings dated older than 6000 years. Cave drawings that are 40 thousand years old and the light from most distant stars (science) originated between 10 to 15 billion years ago! So no, the earth is not flat, and no it is not 6,000 years old as dated by the Bible! And no this movie is not accurate by any fact of history, it is a racist view of history, and totally only in the minds of people who do not know their history, or who are just immoral lying sons of (beaches)!

It will mean nothing to the uninformed. Every news source, both domestic and foreign has reported on the coverups, the convictions of Manifort, the guilty admissions by his lawyer, Cohen, and pages of indictments of other players by Mueller. Well, all but Fox, who did an interview with Trump who blamed, of course, everyone but himself and attacked Sessions as ineffectual and a man who could not take charge of the Justice Dept.! Probably the first truthful thing he has ever said, but for all the wrong reasons. Fox, of course, asked no hard questions of any kind of Trump, just played their role as his lobbying mouthpiece!

Cohen pleads guilty and names Trump as a co-conspirator! Manifort is found guilty, and both within the same hour a few days ago! I am sure Trump will just call everyone involved low IQ witch hunters, but the wheels are starting to fall off the bus!

You read about the media, top law enforcement, and other top leaders being attacked by a dictator or tyrant in some third world country all too often! Used to, but now, you can read all about such things happening right here in the good ole USA!

We can spend billions to create a space force that actually already exists. Air Force, NASA, they already have space as part and parcel of what they do. Plus there is already a clandestine agency that produces military satellite systems and weapons! So, in my opinion, create a health care system for all and quit having parades and inventing Space Forces because an animated guy called Buzz Lightyear came to you in a dream! Besides, as I heard another gentleman remark, Trump will probably develop space spurs to protect himself from any personal involvement! I heard they were painful, in an imaginary sort of way!

Temporary tax breaks and subsidies are not done out of any compassion on Trump’s part! This is a common Trump spin. He gave a tax break to the middle class just before an election, but made it temporary, he was just electioneering! This aid to farmers is the same thing. He does not care about them he just wants them to shut up, and he could care less about the debt he is ringing up as long as it is putting money in his pockets. Every decision he makes has one thing at its core, how does it affect the Trump brand and pocketbook. The only other decisions he makes {trade wars for example] are based on his inability not to bully and preen on a world stage!

The Trump administration will end a longstanding requirement that certain nonprofit organizations disclose the names of large donors to the Internal Revenue Service, a move that will allow some political groups to shield their sources of funding from government scrutiny. The change, which has long been sought by conservatives and Republicans in Congress, it will affect a wide range of nonprofit organizations, including Americans for Prosperity funded by both Koch brothers!

Then House Republicans on Thursday approved a spending bill that excludes new money for election security grants to states, provoking a furious reaction from Democrats amid a national controversy over Russian election interference.

And this was just after the Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats raised the alarm on growing cyber attack threats against the United States, saying the situation is at a “critical point” and coming out forcefully against Russia.

“The warning signs are there. The system is blinking. It is why I believe we are at a critical point,” Coats said, addressing the Hudson Institute in Washington, DC, on Friday.

“Today, the digital infrastructure that serves this country is literally under attack,” yet Republicans do not want to fund voting and election security despite these warnings. I wonder why?


President Trump said Wednesday that Russia is no longer targeting the United States, contradicting his top intelligence advisor’s warning days ago that “the lights are blinking red” about cyber attacks and reigniting bipartisan concerns over his recent embrace of Russian President Vladimir Putin.

The president’s flat “no” came in response to a reporter’s question about Russian threats during a White House meeting with the Cabinet. He looked right at the reporter as he said no and added: “We are doing very well, probably as well as anybody has ever done with Russia.”

Two hours later, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders said Trump was only saying “no” to answering any questions, a contention denied by the reporter and others in the room!

This is just another example of the President lying to cover his many mistakes when he is not scripted and another example that he does not read or pay attention to intelligence briefings! Then, as usual, Sara Huckabee Sanders lying again to cover for him. Even if you only watch Fox and people like Hannity, just watch your President. He lies every day and he does not do it well.

Even Fox News’ Shephard Smith criticized the White House after press secretary Sarah Sanders tried to reframe comments from President Donald Trump claiming Russia wasn’t trying to interfere in our current election cycle.

“Well, there you have it: backing up and trying again,” an unimpressed Smith said as Sanders left the podium.

Do you get it now?


I normally do not participate in Trump trashing just for entertainment’s sake but I cannot get this thought out of my head. Londoner’s did not have to inflate the Trump blimp. They just spread it out, put a mirror in front of it and it just expanded with hot air on its own!

A friend of mine actually asked the question, when has Trump ever lied? I don’t know where you have to live on the planet to not know Trump is a liar, but ok, let’s just take the Helsinki conference with Putin as the latest example! Trump refused to answer questions about whether he believes his own agencies about Putin and Russia in reference to their hacking into our elections. Let’s just forget that France, Germany, England, and others have also said they have definitive evidence that they were also hacked by Russian operatives. Trump deflected by talking about missing servers. No servers are missing or were any denied access by the FBI. The DNC provided a complete copy of their server and the Pakistani Trump is talking about never worked for the DNC! He was thoroughly investigated and exonerated by the FBI as having done nothing against the law! So this is Trump doing what he always does, telling lies to cover lies or truths he does not want to admit to! Politifact covers a lot of this, if you are interested in the truth, or think I am lying to you!

We separate children from parents, a 1-year-old child is put before a judge in the United States with no representation for the first time EVER! Now, in order to protect profits from swamp creatures, we threaten our United Nations partners who want to promote breastfeeding instead of purchasing formula. This is the America we live in! How can you want to protect an unborn child yet actively terrorize them and harm their health for profit after they are born! Do you get it now?

About a year and a half ago Trudeau made a statement that they would take the banned refugees we are turning away. Maybe that’s why Trump decided Canada was a national security risk! Cannot have all those murky non-white rapists, thieves, gang members, and potential terrorists all congregating just north of our border getting ready to murk the hell out of us!

You do not have to be from one political spectrum or the other to see how impossible it will be to build a wall! If you follow the areas where the river just bends like a snake, or is down in a gorge, the only way, since Mexico is never going to give their land away to us, is for us to grant millions of acres of land to Mexico to even make the wall feasible, all land now belonging to American ranchers and farmers! The very difficult terrain and other obstacles of transport, etc, will cause the wall to be the most expensive edifice in the world! And at the ocean end of the wall, hell, just learn to surf! Joking, but no more absurd than building a wall when the infrastructure in the country is falling apart. Plus Trump will soon be calling for a wall on the Canadian border so they do not come across buying shoes and wearing them back across the border, a very real and dangerous act by Canadians, according to Trump!

The Trump administration is bringing back the Red Scare, or McCarthyism as it was commonly called! Any non-profit that questions Trumps handling of environmental issues is the current target. They are trying to label them agents of a communist government in this instance because they operate internationally as almost all do. The old law about registering foreign agents to identify communists and Nazis after WWII is still on the books from the McCarthy era, and they are dragging it back up into the spotlight!

Do you get it now?

Trump cannot be very intelligent, or his mental illness is so pervasive that he cannot help himself. He lies, even when the truth would actually be more beneficial to him. But lying is so natural to him he cannot force himself not to do it. He loves power. He wants it for himself and admires people who have absolute power! If you pay attention, he always heaps praise on himself, makes outlandish claims that could not possibly be true! You know what really chaps my hide? The GOP backs up his lies, no matter how outrageous, or just refuse to engage in any conversation about it! There are some exceptions of course, but they are few in number. History will record this as one of the blackest moments in U.S. history. Hopefully, it will not record it as the defining moment of our eventual destruction!

Trump has always been a crook, anybody with any sense or the ability to read should have any doubt about it. I don’t mean current investigations. Use of Trump’s charity to funnel money, buy personal items, and to pay off lawsuits is well known. His claim of donating to veteran charities was actually a transfer from his charity to pay off a lawsuit against Mar-a Lago. The donation was made as part of an agreement with the person who sued as it was what he wanted to be done with the money he was awarded. But Trump never paid a dime! Read the charges, there are a few. But as I was saying, this is how he has always done business. That charity was set up as a slush fund for his many lawsuits and personal use.

Do you get it now?

Trump lies all the time, and doesn’t even do it well! He lies so much that even I tend to just ignore it, kind of like swatting at flies down at the cow pens, after a while it is just automatic. But when he lies about veterans, I really get upset. So he had thousands of requests from parents who have to be 100 or more to have sons in the Korean War.

When do you start to get it?

I have acquaintances who claim they do not like Trump personally but they think he has done great things for America. This man is alienating us from the rest of the world. He has only passed one piece of major legislation, the tax bill. He has pulled out of trade agreements with all of our neighbors, called our closest and best ally a liar, imagine the absurdity of that statement coming from him! If you think to allow mines to dump into rivers, factories to continue to pollute at even higher levels, asbestos ignored as a health threat is good for America, or the planet, you are deluded. Sure, his swamp creatures will make more money, but they will not pass any of that on to you, and when you get sick from asbestos, air pollution, or your water catches on fire, they will tell you to buy water from them and just die peaceably snowflake! You have been told current conditions are all Trump when most of them, practically all of them, are not. Trump and Fox saying so does not a fact make! Even the Congressional Budget figures, controlled by Republicans mind you, will prove that out if you really are interested in facts!

This is an excerpt of what a friend of mine from Australia said about Trump, and I quote “He seems to have a very restricted vocabulary and a dangerously short attention span. He all too clearly sees no reason why he should attempt to fit himself into the international diplomatic conventions because he believes himself to be more important, and more powerful than anyone else, and thus under no obligation to modify his behavior!”

Since George Washington presidents have, for the most part, voluntarily accepted restraints on their ability to pardon. Starting in 1789, government lawyers have been designated to review pardon applications. And since 1865, presidents have typically relied on a review by the Justice Department before granting clemency. Trump has bypassed these restraints, plus his pardons seemed to be aimed at people who supported him, or who were prosecuted by people he does not like. It also seems like a not so subtle way, to me anyway, to notify people who may be indicted in the Russia investigations that he will pardon them. He has a deep-seated fear of the Russia investigations, and this makes me go, hmmmm!

So now immigrants are animals, according to Trump. Can you guess who called a group of people animals prior to and during WWII? Trump is racist. His father was arrested in at least one KKK march, not protesting the KKK mind you! Both he and his father have been sued by the govt for refusing to rent to people of color, Donald more than once! Trump himself in public has said blacks are naturally lazy, they cannot help it. There are many more very public examples out there of Trump’s bigotry in his own words. All in the public record. These people are not animals, they are fleeing persecution and violence in most cases. You will actually find that immigrants, illegal or not, are the lowest crime statistic. I am not including drug cartel operatives, etc., that is a separate problem from mothers, fathers, and children looking for a place that does not get them beaten, robbed, raped, or killed. Yes, immigration is a problem, but our President wants to dehumanize them and use hate and scare tactics in his approach to the problem. This is not Presidential, hell, it isn’t even an acceptable approach by any decent human being!

And the band plays on!
