Another Scary Thought

The Apple (Donald Trump Junior) Doesn't fall from the tree!

I couldn't believe his stupid analogy.  Here's a question for he and his Dad!  - Another good one from the Daily Kos website!

It's So Scary I Can Barely force Myself to Laugh

Joyce Corley

There are actually people out there who are so dumb.  I got this one from the Daily Kos website

Gee, I'm Really Afraid!  Very Afraid!

I've been away from my blog spot for a while but I'm back, and in many respects I am talking once again about some of the same issues that were bugging me the last time I wrote.  I can't get over the ugliness and uber-partisanship that has overtaken our country.  I can't get over the disrespect that bellows from one party in particular.  One question rings in my head.  When does partisanship win over love of country?

On Friday I spent the morning waiting to hear Trump's statement about the birther movement that he started.  I was so angry to see how he literally played the press, as he always does (they run at his slightest move to speak), and they still failed to call him for his shenanigans.

He announces that a statement will be made at one of his new hotels.  All the press shows up!  For quite a few minutes he speaks rapturously about the features and magnificence of the hotel he is opening, and they are meeting it.  Then he introduces a few tin generals, other known alt-right military spokespeople, and two Medal of Honor winners who all proclaimed his marvelous and unrivaled powers to lead us as a country.

Then, coward that he is, (proven by his antics to keep from serving during the Viet Nam war because he had bone spurs), he makes a three sentence statement saying that "Barack Obama was born in the Us.  Period.  Now lets go back to Making America Great again".

I am not really mad at Donald Trump...I realize he is a showman and an actor.  He said himself last week at a rally how hot it gets every time he 'performs".  Not a very good one because his immaturity keeps getting in the way.  I am more concerned and ultimately mad at the millions of people who listen to him and believe him.  I can't believe there are so many American people who are willing to push aside not only their best interests, but also their common sense.  All in the name of combating political correctness???  I can't believe it!  How about his promoting discrimination and and virtual racism.  Is all allowable this election cycle?  Are there no broken standards, nor lies that are based on conspiracy theories he picked up on the Internet.   There is no discredited lie he tells that his followers will turn away from.  No one really calls him on it.  I always thought we looked for leaders who were honest and forthright.  Leaders that we could trust and have confidence in.  Yet, here we have a candidate that lies continuously and has no record of ever caring about anyone except himself and some of his children.

I know many citizens take it for granted that the American People won't elect a character like Trump.  I do not share that laissez faire attitude.  At this point I believe it is highly likely we will wake up on November 7th with dictator Trump heading for the White House.  I believe we must encourage everyone we know, and especially young people, to vote for Hilary Clinton.  She is not only a WOMAN, but a seasoned politician and experienced student of political science.  She has been First Lady, Secretary of State, and a woman who has spent the major part of her life working to make America better for all citizens.  She has also withstood 40 years of vicious smears and lies lobbied her way by political adversaries and withstood that pressure.  Yet, despite the vitriol and lies she is still willing to serve her country at the highest level.  We know from our observations of Barack Obama, that it's not an easy nor appreciated job.  No one is perfect, and we all have mistakes in our past that we regret.  Hilary has apologized repeatedly.  Donald Trump never apologize.   But, I forget, she is a woman candidate and she must be PERFECT!  Lets be real and keep the real villain out of the white House.  If not, I'm convinced you will get what you ask for!!!!  Bigotry, Discrimination, Gloom and Doom!

Be afraid, very afraid.

2016 - September 16^th

I’m back!!!!

My political angst is at the highest level ever, and I didn’t think that was possible!

The campaign between Donald Trump and Hilary Clinton has literally made me sick.

My joy and anticipation at the long overdue prospect of having a woman run for, and be elected president has been overshadowed by the double standards the press and other right-wing political leaders hold Hillary to, as compared to an immature, bombastic buffoon who is allowed to say and do anything he wants without having to answer for it.  He is considered a great success when he can just even stick to his script on the teleprompter and not brag about himself.  He makes up things to suit his campaign with no factual basis or credibility.  He is a master of exaggeration, most of which has no real basis in truth.

I really believe ‘He has a dark, ugly soul.’ as Elizabeth Warren says.  Who wants to be a victim of that kind of scenario?

After a campaign like this we all will be asking, “How do you get the stink off?”  The only way is to make sure Donald Trump’s Reality Show approach to becoming president doesn’t come to fruition!    Tell everyone, Keep the Liar out of the Whitehouse.

So, I will write my blog again in hopes that I can influence even a few people (especially young ones) to vote for the better candidate and preserve our democracy!
