In his case Truth will get Donald a lIfe sentence. Sometimes in the middle of the night, I come out of a dream, and dreams are like our lives, we have good ones and bad ones. Many times since I am a student of politics, and the mechanics it impales on others, the dream provokes a question.
One that reoccurs often involves many people I do not know. I find myself talking to a crowd and they are zombies, they don’t hear what I am saying. I am pleading with them to rationalize their thinking during this election and I am talking to dead people.
It’s the GOP that caused their problems and their base hasn’t figured that out yet. Can people really be that stupid to believe this charlatan, or are they naive or wishful thinkers being played.
Obviously on the surface it appears the answer is yes, but hopefully it’s not their fault, they are passionate not stupid, just misinformed falling for the lies of a famous reality show star which we know both he and the show was not real. Reality shows are not real and intellectually, or sexually, spontaneous to maintain an audience.
Neither will his promises be. He sprouts more fake love than a teenage boy who just discovered his potential manhood goes further than his right hand. You know the kind who will tell a young lady anything. The usual results in an unwanted pregnancy. And our hero will be long gone and you will have been... screwed.
It’s been a long hard struggle to get back some of the damage the GOP did, but slowly and safely we are getting better. That was till T-RUMP came a long. Have you noticed this past year more instability, more racial killings, more dangerous rhetoric, more innocents killed, war on the police, bigotry on the rise in social media, more hate twits by nit-twits, and it’s not your imagination. Its real, folks, the GOP-G now stands for “GOOD OLD PREJUDICE and GREED”.
What a team... Meet the rest of the Fourth Reich...
T-RUMPS MEDICAL - IT’S BALLSHEIMERS NOT ALZHEIMER’S
NOTE: With deepest concern and sympathy for those families besieged by the effects of Alzheimers, I make no smallness of the battle they are in. But T-RUMPS attacks need to be addressed and I’m doing it the only way I know how.
Since Trump is demanding Hillary’s medical records, we have started to do a little digging of our own and contacted T-RUMPS abstract letter writing doctor who testified that Donald T-RUMP would be the healthiest President the country will ever see.
No self respecting Dr. would or could write a letter of that kindergarten quality “ Proclaiming TRUMP’S health is positive, in a medical reference with no data attached that would receive a mark of D-minus in the third grade”.
Trump’s family does have a history of Alzheimers. But T-RUMP suffers from Ballsheimers which is not related. Thats when uncontrollably someone says something really stupid, false and asserting wrong about another and can’t remember saying it the next day. He is in stage four, with total un-recollection and claims of sarcasm apparent.
Our Dr. knows he has exhibited these attacks on a daily basis throughout the election and has refused medical treatment because it requires the removal of his head from his ass. Our Dr. fears all that shellac on his hair might be the cause and ripping it out of his anal canal might cause damage, his specifically stated TRUMP’s head is firmly in his ass and admits he sees no cure.
Another trait Donald has is “Friendiphobia”, the relationship disease. Whenever he quotes someone he never tells you the name of who said it. It’s always a good friend, great guy, nice person, long time friend, big business man. Knowing T-RUMP as well as I do chasing him the past year he has no friends, only alliances revolving around money and power. His real friends or fiends are invisible. He has all the innuendos and conspiratorialists anyone could ever muster through the Holy Grail of Tabloids. In a grocery store near you.
I wish the media would start short circuiting those comments by asking and pinning him down before they quote him and confirming it. That is how media should work, not the circus they are part of now and being played for suckers.
Bigger - Better - Bankrupt - Finally Closed
The T-rump Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, once the crown jewel of Donald T-rump’s sprawling casino empire, will officially close because of an ongoing strike and hemorrhaging losses, the Press of Atlantic City reported on Wednesday.
The casino, which was originally owned by Trump but went bankrupt, only to be bailed out by billionaire-investor Carl Icahn, will close at the end of the summer who declined the opportunity to join the Trump economic advisory council.
Currently the Taj is losing multi-millions a month, and now with this strike, there is no path to profitability. “Unfortunately we’ve reached the point where we will have to close the Taj Mahal.” Good riddance.
T-rump, who filed for bankruptcy four times in the past three decades (one of those times with the Taj Mahal), has used his alleged business acumen as a qualification for the presidency. But as numerous reports have shown, the Republican nominee appears to have exaggerated his successes in real estate and the casino business. Really? This loss means 3000 workers will be unemployed. So much for the man who promised lots of jobs.
The Base is not Stupid, Just Misinformed
They were part of the middle class which is gone because of jobs overseas, actually a small part, the real loss comes from technology advancements. Robots today do the work of many. I just watched a TV show on the construction of the new CORVETTE, an automobile many would die for or offer a bit of their physiology to own.
The new Corvette from GM clearly shows the construction of the cars solid chassis almost devoid of workers with a myriad of welds and contact points separated with shock absorbing material. Then the robots deliver the car to the next robot station. Like worker bees, the one human loaded the parts in a matrix in layers, only one man needed and then the robots both sonically and heat sealed the parts into the entire front facia in a couple of minutes. One person has replaced six or eight.
We sat on our ass because of obstructionism by the GOP, and these people never had a chance to make it happen here. No re-education programs; No federal funding of our really bad infrastructure, and the technology was available elsewhere by developing countries.
This is the NEW WORLD ORDER first mentioned in the biblical times, reincarnated by Hitler during the Third Reich and once again, the latest significant statement by George Herbert Walker Bush aka Bush 41. It’s about politics and money, not a bunch of lies the Black Helicopters the NRA said it was.
And with a government that did nothing for eight years because of a Black Man in the oval office (Quote Mitch Mcconnell with his famous one term threat against Obama the day he took office) what did you expect to happen?
The irony of the whole thing is when the GOP blames it on Obama and Clinton. They were not the obstructionists, the GOP was and has been. They basically and actually did bring the government down, thanks Ted Cruz, another winner.
And these 14,000,000 folks will vote for the folks who ultimately cost them their lifestyle. I’m befuddled by their lack of simple knowledge and how easily they fell for the lies and innuendos by a narcissistic reckless, dangerous, self centered madman.
The base is composed of good people, many the salt of the earth, but uninformed and mis-informed which makes them naive and gullible. This is not the party of Reagan. Nor do we need another Reagan, he was a great pontificator and well loved but his economics really didn’t work. I almost thought of Stalin for President and there would be an incredible funeral and real estate boom on “E” street in Washington DC where our Congressmen have their apartments..
Then we could start over, getting rid of some of these stupid beliefs and worse the liars who spread them....
The Crowning Of the Would Be King or Fuehrer
Donald J. Trump somehow became the presidential nominee for the GOP party. He is in an elite club joining but unwelcome the ranks of Abraham Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, Dwight Eisenhower, and Ronald Reagan, all great Americans. He is not a member of this club. He is an imposter.
He lacks transparency, integrity, honesty, and is totally into himself. He is, as he states the only person who could fix things. Those were Hitlers words. Hitler’s memoirs “Mein Kamph” have now been superseded by T-RUMP’S “Mein Stuhlgang”
And my question is how did so many Americans fall for this, incredibly bad, incredibly dangerous individual and the situations he has provoked. Not all their fault, the party is to blame. “It may well be that we will have to repent in this generation. Not merely for the vitriolic words and the violent actions of the bad people, but for the appalling silence and indifference of the good people who sit around and say, “Wait on time.”
Trumps New American Flag
If he wins and he will probably change our American Flag to something more appropriate for a man of his stature. (See sample design with T-RUMP crest)
Since his rhetoric started about a year ago, the country has moved into a different orbit. Somewhat healed cuts are bleeding again, the wounds are open and festering. He has divided the country. We have created a violent culture and much of this can be traced to the northern porthole of a man suffering delusions caused by cranial-rectal dyslexia.
He’s alarmingly thin-skinned. Referring to critics who spoke at the Democratic National Convention, Trump said Thursday that he wanted to “Hit a number of those speakers so hard, their heads would spin.”
And: “I was going to hit one guy in particular, a very little guy.” Trump made clear Friday on Twitter that he was talking about “ ‘Little Michael Bloomberg, who never had the guts to run for president.” Words from the schoolyard bully.
Finally, there’s ample evidence that Trump is the worst kind of bully. Look at the way he reacted to the powerful Democratic convention speech by Khizr Khan, the father of a Muslim American soldier who was killed in the Iraq War.
Trump initially did not have the courage to respond directly to Khan. Instead he cowardly attacked Khan’s wife, Ghazala, who had stood silently on the stage. “She was standing there. She had nothing to say. She probably, maybe she wasn’t allowed to have anything to say. You tell me.” There’s no need for me to defend Ghazala Khan, who spoke eloquently for herself in a Post op-ed. But tell me: What kind of man has so little empathy for a grieving mother’s loss? Is that normal? Is it healthy?
Everything he puts out eventually crumbles just like his T-RUMP College and Atlantic City. The curse of the Taj Mahal, great dreams, bad foundations and a lot of people lost a lot of money and jobs. Those folks are merely collateral damage and he really has no concern for their losses. He has the empathy of an anteater on a termite mound.
In the beginning, it started as a joke, a publicity stunt. Here we go again, another reality show and the brainless, less informed, ignored captured the moment. He called it his base, bases built on hatred never last, empires fall when not inclusive. Just ask the Romans, the Communists and Hitlers Nazi’s. Must be part of the group that thinks Pro Wrestling is real and the WWE should be a political party since they have as many actors as we have in politics.
T-RUMP AND SEAN HANNITY
Michael Hayden, the former director of the NSA and the CIA, said in a statement Sunday that Fox’s Sean Hannity, one of Trump’s most ardent and vocal media supporters, behaved like a “true propagandist.” In a statement to Brookings Institute senior fellow Benjamin Wittes, Hayden, a retired Air Force general, wrote that “Hannity has entered the pantheon of a true propagandist.”
He added that the Fox host’s “behavior reminds me of a conversation I had with a political office in the mid-1980s when I was the air attaché to Bulgaria. I asked this officer what truth was to him. He responded without hesitation, ‘Truth is what serves the party.'
Hayden’s remarks were in direct response to Hannity’s praising WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. It was a drastic shift for the Fox host, who was hostile to Assange and WikiLeaks for years. His sudden about-face comes after the organization began making disclosures intended to damage Clinton’s campaign, specifically steadily releasing emails stolen from the private email account of Clinton’s campaign chair John Podesta. Hayden noted that, save for a few personalities — such as Chris Wallace, who moderated the final debate, Bret Baier, and Megyn Kelly — “FOX News has almost completely jumped the shark.”
“They have given up any semblance of conservatism and focused on an almost visceral hatred of all things Clinton and Obama.” Hayden served as director of the NSA from 1999 to 2005 and director of the CIA from 2006 to 2009. He was one of 50 top Republican national security officials to sign an open letter in August denouncing TRUMP.
A REALLY BIG LIE - In the sincerest way possible we bring Sean Hannity’s name into the conversation. On FOX news he is the leader based on the theories of liarism, conspiracies, and he is not afraid to spin totally stupid stories out of control. The more you lie the bigger the pot. Again I apologize, I normally do not give this schmuck any space at all, and he is like the Teflon Don, few challenge him, few with intelligence bother, he is so off course and his corrupted staged interviews so ridiculously transparent, stupid and set up, it takes a moron to totally appreciate him. Just think of him as the tabloid magazine you find at the supermarket on the check out lane and continue to use the paper to wrap fish.
He ran with an unsubstantiated story that “The Trump campaign has confirmed to Hannity.com that Mr. Trump did indeed send his plane to make two trips from North Carolina to Miami, Florida to transport over 200 Gulf War Marines back home.” — quote in article titled “200 Stranded Marines Needed A Plane Ride Home, Here’s How Donald Trump Responded,” Sean Hannity Show website, May 19, 2016
It seemed like such a sweet story — Donald Trump sending his personal plane down to Camp Lejeune, N.C., when 200 Marines were stranded after fighting in the 1991 Persian Gulf War. At least that is the story that Sean Hannity of Fox News has touted on his website for several months. Not quite true.
The Hannity story mostly relied on the recollections of Cpl. XXXX who was a squad leader in a Marine Corps Reserve antitank (TOW) company that was called up for duty for the 1990-91 conflict that took place after Iraq invaded Kuwait. My suggestion would be to demote him for getting the facts wrong and leaking troop movement information.
After a few weeks in Camp Lejeune, the part-time troops were scheduled to return to their base in Broward County. An article in the Sun-Sentinel newspaper on the April 22 homecoming reported that it had been “marred by flight delays,” forcing well-wishers to wait for hours in the sun. The article said the Marines arrived on two flights, one at noon and one after 5 p.m.
BULLSHIT BEGINS - But then Trump supposedly came to the rescue: “The way the story was told to us was that Mr. Trump found out about it and sent the airplane down to take care of us”. WRONG TOTAL BULLSHIT 100%
That was not Trump’s private plane at the time. That’s a Boeing 727 jet that was part of a Trump Shuttle fleet — repossessed by the bank fromTrump briefly because he failed to make payments on his loans. It had a white fuselage. And pilots were hired to fly the troops home. ANOTHER FABRICATION
Trump Shuttle jets had at least 130 seats. Trump had put the Trump Shuttle up for sale on April 27, 1990, but by September couldn’t make loan payments and needed to cut a new deal with his bankers. By the time the TOW company went off to war, Trump had not paid interest on a $235 million Citibank loan for months.
So some of those extra planes were contracted out to the US military to ferry personnel in the United States during Operations Desert Shield/Storm in 1990-1991.
Lt. Gen. Vernon J. Kondra, now retired, was in charge of all military airlift operations. He said that relying on commercial carriers freed up the military cargo aircraft for equipment transport.
Gen. Kondra said the notion that Trump personally arranged to help the stranded soldiers made little sense. 'I certainly was not aware of that. It does not sound reasonable that it would happen like that. It would not fit in with how we did business’.
The five-hour gap between arrivals in Broward County suggests that one plane was used to go back and forth between North Carolina and Florida. Despite the rumors on base, it’s clear that Trump had nothing to do with the dispatch of the jet to the troops stranded at Camp LeJeune, there is no truth to it. Sean Hannity needs to prominently correct this article. The Trump campaign, meanwhile, earns Four Pinocchio’s for confirming a story that is easily debunked. Sean Hannity lies and lies again. On a positive note Sean Hannity and Donald Trump both are liars of a very high order. My friend describes them as a TROJAN two -pack.
HIS BASE (FORMERLY THE GOP BASE) WOULD GET DESTROYED
TRUTH - He was the right man for the GOP base since their demographics indicated they are lesser educated, not attuned to truth, disenfranchised middle class voters, underemployed and bigotry is more prevalent in the GOP party. What they don’t understand, is the bigotry is not the biggest financial threat to them with their chants of immigrants taking their jobs. Or because the jobs went overseas. Sure they went overseas, with a basically inefficient and obstructionist Congress what did you expect to get done.
TRUTH - The real issue was the condition President Bush 43 left the country in. And for some reason ignoring the words of President Bush 41 about “The New World Order”. It spoke of a global economy with rising competition and the fall of our superiority in world markets. Of course the NRA claimed the NWO was a conspiracy to change the second amendment. Thats what we are challenged with, stupidity, not a new attack on the second amendment. Alfred E. Newman once said in Mad Magazine “The Dumb think Dumb”. Brilliant statement, but it explains everything!
TRUTH - The ten trillion we owed China did not exactly come out during the end of the Bush era. It was a secret hidden under the war powers act and not disclosed up front to the public. Some countries would call that treason. In China, it would mean the labor camp, In North Korea, executed with an antiaircraft gun, in Russia the Siberian Gulag. In America [Bush], he gets a library mysteriously paid for by anonymous donors, most with hands soaked in oil. Bush was not the Czar of clean air by sunlight, wind or natural gas. His money came from oil.
TRUTH - Those jobs went overseas during Bush, the stock market went into the toilet down to 6000 under Bush and the recovery takes longer with a healthy stock market, and staying healthy at 18,000 under the leadership and calmness of a smarter leader. The attempt is a long lasting stable and strong economy, not the kind a new day will bring and quickly turn to disaster. That we cannot afford. Bush 41 killed the economy in eight years, do people think it was capable of being fixed overnight? And during this “bad times” our average politician somehow made triple his net value. “LORD if I die can I come back as an insider”?
TRUTH - The middle class collapsed because technologically we fell behind and the development of production in the BRIC (Brazil, Russia, India and China) countries, plus the rising stature of the far east in commerce with advanced technologies are beating us. The countries that copied our inventiveness now lead the inventiveness on the planet. Look at the chart of the countries most advanced in education. Watch the spelling bees on TV and see what ethnicities excel in winning.
TRUTH - We lost the middle class because of the lack of competitiveness, worker industrialization, advancement and education. EDUCATION, I’ll spell it for you. E-D-U-C-A-T-I-O-N We have lost a generation to the kids who’s emphasis is on gaming, cellphones, texting, idolization of sports, too much leisure time, and basically parental failure. Our schools do not teach a curriculum containing subjects like history. I asked an eight grade class who or what were the “Axis powers”. It’s not a Camaro rear end. And that tidbit is backed up by our status in the world in math and science today. Amazing, the puzzle is not that complicated, math and science are the keys to success, not trickle down economy bullshit.

TRUTH - If the Republican base believes that the tax cuts T-RUMP will give to his friends will trickle down (The GOP theory for years and it has never worked) and you will be buying yachts, then you really should spend your last dime on good peyote and get some really cool dreams going. Your dreams will go up in smoke when reality sets in.
The rich 2% will take those additive gains, and T-RUMP’s lower taxes for the rich and do what they usually do. More cars, more house, more trips, more toys. Maybe their current 80 foot long yacht could be replaced with a larger 110 foot Burger yacht.
By the way, a couple of decades ago I had the pleasure of being invited aboard a 115 foot Burger yacht as a guest (Courtesy of Southeast Toyota) and in my humble way they are the finest piece of US made craftsmanship on the planet. This ship is a floating, fast, world class explorer, and five star plus marine hotel. That is the way I would describe them. You expect that when you pay millions (lots of millions) to own one.
I plan to upgrade this year, I am trading my paddle Canoe for a Hobi Kayak...because it has foot pedals and my legs warrant it. In an emergency I can do both paddle and use my feet and hit warp speed one.
TRUTH - The rich never give their share to the common man without some form of gain. Taxes, more property etc are where the rich will spend their added income. Trickle down is more like tinkle down, frankly you will be p*ssed on.
Frankly, telling it as it is they could care less, with the money and power comes the greed. Trump is a prime example of that. It was Cicero in his many letters and speeches who said something so simple and eloquent... “Let the welfare of the people be the ultimate law.” Those with the power and the money probably read the Wall Street Journal, not Cicero. And it was in Shakespeare, the mention of getting rid of the lawyers would improve our lives was never so true as it is today.
TRUTH - Mitch McConnell stated on President Obamas inauguration, that he would see to it that Obama would be a one term president, a direct attack on Obama. He was wrong and we have had eight years of obstructionism, partisanship, bigotry, which became the hallmarks of that party. And T-RUMP knew how to play those cards with the birthers and other accusations and lies which he still uses today.
TRUTH - BLAME - You could blame the media for allowing TRUMP to lead them for ratings, blame the party structure “In party first, the people second”, blame the leadership of the GOP who did not have the balls to stop him, a real bunch of greedy self centered losers, who would sell you out for their own greed.
TRUTH - You could blame the Evangelical voters, who still don’t get the separation of church and state and I blame the American voters for being so ignorant as to support the closest thing to Hitler in sixty years. I don’t mean to offend any one with blamesmanship but its pretty obvious where we are, they are all true to me, our politicians are scary and reality is real and reality shows are not....
The Great Wall-Mart of China - “Some Made-Out In America”
Wal-Mart made out and for every store they own 50 or more Mom and Pops went out. It is probably the best example of how we lost. When we had Mom and Pop stores we had only forty-two percent of the dollars went away or out of the country. Literally four-fifths or more (some have it close to 90%) of our economy dollars you spend vanishes each time you shop at Wal-mart and every time the stock market goes up a few points.
Since the Republicans and Democrats have their hands invested through lobbyists in almost every major corporation that looks good, the more money that goes into them means better profits for our Congressmen and Senators. It’s about greed. It always has been greed, it’s nothing to do about serving the country. Its career and money and greed on both sides of the coin.
Remember the car industry, those great days of FORD and CHEVY, and the production of almost anything like washers and dryers, radios, TV, furniture, carpeting, clothing, shoes, tables, chairs and food, consumer items that were the strength of American production. These were the jobs that supported the middle class. So I state again, what middle class? The middle class is not about the stock market anymore. It is the game the affluent play. Like polo, to play you must own a horse, a trailer a stable and some fancy outfits. Few middle class play polo.
Wake up America, they are gone. Their part of America was funneled to the stockholders. The rich got rich, took their manufacturing companies off shore for the profits, the workers got pink slips.
That’s what made the stock market recover, the infusion of all those dollars that never made it to the workers plus the Government gave them anything they wanted.
And the average GOP voter wants to take that money and give bonuses to the same folks who bankrupted the nation. Shame! Wall Street and the investors are not for the people.
The bonuses are still getting paid. The stocks went back up, breaking 18,500 points and no jobs came from it. The middle class bailed out the holders. The top end gets as much as the corporation see's fit to pay the rest. What a gift! They lose the empire and we buy it back for them.
We talk about jobs and new startups. What a dialog of horse manure. Innovation, is the answer but we are failing in the battle for the leadership role in innovation. The Japanese for one are the innovators, they design the toys we buy, from cars to Wii, and then it gets into production in China. Five of the top countries in the world are from the far east and lead in Science and Math. The United States at one time was first , now we are 28th.
So the Chinese learn from the Japanese and cut the Japanese out. We are no longer the great innovators alone in the world, get it. These other countries in the BRIC can and do create the new toys and electronics we blow our dollars on.
In summary: what new store can compete against a Wal-Mart? Rephrase; What new stores can compete against a Wal-mart, as there are fifty plus stores under one roof, paying minimal wages for the employees, with products built under the market in both labor costs and quality. I remember, Sam Walton saying many times, In our store, it‘s “Made in America”. He got to be doing two and half gainers in the grave because his love of country is lost amongst the profiteers who run it now, helping destroy i
