Disastrous week for Trump…and it’s only Tuesday

Posted on June 19, 2018 by admin

This just in: Every day now, for over a year, I keep asking myself, “Can Trump’s American get any worse?”

The answer is always, “You ain’t seen nothing yet!”

Let’s look at the leading stories today…

Trump is abusing children as leverage to get a wall that will be a monument to himself. Meanwhile, Fox News calls the crying children “actors” and “future gang members” that should be separated from their parents. Keep in mind, we are talking about 4-year old kids.

Trump has sold over $100,000,000 in properties to Russians who paid in cash. Paying is cash, while not illegal, is a Big Red Flag for law enforcement looking at money laundering.

Republican owners (aka the Koch Brothers) are squashing public transportation projects across the country because they, the Koch Brothers, are heavily invested in gas consumption and asphalt (used to make roads). In other words, they will have fewer billions if people get out of their cars.

The United States has 4% of the world’s population and 40% of the firearms. However, we are way, way ahead of everyone else when it comes to “thoughts and prayers.”

Trump claims immigrants are “infesting” our country.

Today, the United States is withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council.

Trump has involved the United States in a trade war; us against everyone else in the world. It’s not clear why he is doing this other than he has no idea how economics works. So far, the trade war has wiped away all the gains of 2018.

Trump is in potentially big trouble for using his Charitable Foundation as his own personal piggy bank. Trump often claims to donate to charities but many that have researched this have yet to find any instance of such behavior.

And for the biggest news: As Trump trashes American morality, as Trump trashes international relations, as Trump trashes our economy…the Republican Party acts as if nothing if going on.

Vote these anti-Americans out of office.

Help to save the world.

Up, up and away…

Trump – Putin’s Santa Clause

Posted on June 9, 2018 by admin

This just in: This entire Russian thing seems to be about, not collusion in and of itself, but rather…was there a Quid-Pro-Quo? Did Russia help Trump get elected in exchange for Trump favors later?

Let’s take a look at a few things…

First, understand that Russia’s main income comes from the exporting of oil. When oil prices are low, the entire Russian economy goes down the toilet. Putin would love for oil prices to be high. This includes squashing any alternative energy source that may cause people to use less oil.

What has Trump done? Several things. First of all, he dropped out of the Paris Climate Accord citing some nonsense issue about being treated “unfairly.” This has a double impact. First, it allows the United States to use more oil without consequence and it also separates the United States from a forum where they should be the World Leader. Trump has also squashed nearly every anti-oil regulation he can find. This includes eliminating fuel efficiency on cars. In other words, he is allowing us to go back to the gas guzzlers of yesterday. Americans only benefit from better mileage. It’s good for the pocketbook and for the environment. However, Russia wins when we use more oil since that drives up the price.

Trump also pulled out of the Iranian deal. This is causing uncertainty in the Middle East and we are feeling it at the gas pump; just as Putin is feeling it in his fattening wallet.

Second, Putin wants to be relieved of all the sanctions put on Russia for their bad behavior over the years. Obama put on sanctions. Congress overwhelmingly approved even more sanctions. Trump has fought these all along. For some reason, he knows more about Russia and their intent than the rest of the world as well as our National Security Agencies. In fact, he continues to fight to lift sanctions on Russia whenever possible.

Third, Putin wants to be brought back into the G7. It was a G8 until Russia was kicked out over annexing Crimea. Just yesterday, out of the blue, Trump said he wants Russia back in. He gave no reason. The remainder of the G7 voted unanimously to keep Russia out.

Fourth, Putin wants to separate the United States from the rest of the world. On nearly every front, Trump has given him this gift. We are no longer the Climate leader. We are no longer the Moral leader. The G7 says they will become the G6 since Trump does not want to contribute. Trump has put tariffs on our closest allies and is threatening to no longer trade with our longest standing and largest trading partners. In just over a year, Trump has caused the United States to step back from every leadership position we have held since WWII.

This list could go on. There is the push to enrich the wealthy at the expense of the poor. There is the war on science and the war on education. Every day Trump does the exact opposite of what is proper.

So yes, I think Trump works for Putin. I don’t think this is all a repayment for winning the election. I actually think Trump expected to lose the election. I suspect this is to repay some ongoing debt such as the billions of dollars Russian banks lended him when no one else would touch him back in 2008-9.

Trump works for Russia. But don’t forget, he is able to pull this off because Congress is controlled by Republicans that work for the handful of billionaires that are profiting off of Trump’s moves. The GOP tolerates Trump’s Russia because it is profitable for them.

Up, up and away…

A short list of Trump’s Troubles

Posted on March 20, 2018 by admin

This just in: I was wondering about what Trump thinks of as he starts each day. What are his priorities? His goals? Then it occurred to me that he must have very little time to do anything other than Damage Control. I would like to think “Poor Trump. He tries so hard and yet the world is against him.” However, I think that most, if not all, of his troubles are of his own making.

Let’s take a look at them…

Colluding with Russia during the 2016 election has to be high on his list of troubles. This is not an illegal thing unless there was a Quid Pro Quo; unless he promised them favors in exchange for their help.
The Mueller investigation seems to be expanding. Mueller has the ability to investigate anything that arises as a result of his initial investigation into Russian Collusion. This has given birth to a whole family of problems.

Trump’s extensive Russian connections are being discovered.
Trump’s finances are being investigated.
Trump’s daughter and son-in-law are being investigated.
Money laundering comes up a lot
Dealings with Russian banks is a constant; especially when they found ways to loan him money when normal banks would not.
Several of his closest associates have been indicted including his Senior Security Advisor and his campaign manager. It’s as if everyone Trump worked with in his campaign is associated with Russia.
Obstruction charges are likely to be brought simply because Trump has and is actively trying to stop the investigation. This includes firing the head of the FBI as well as constant pressure to get his Attorney General to quit.

But wait…there is more outside of the Russia stuff…

Trump has dropped the U.S. out of the Paris Climate Accord, leaving our seat at the head of the table empty, until China stepped in.
Trump has dropped the U.S. out of the Trans Pacific Partnership, leaving our seat at the head of the table empty, until China stepped in. (China is not part of the TPP but is suddenly a major player in the regions economics and will likely join the TPP soon).
Trump has pissed on Canada and Mexico by trying to renegotiate NAFTA even though he apparently has no idea what that means.
Trump lies constantly which really highlights “Oh what a tangled web we weave.” He seems to have overcome the burden of remembering his lies by simply not caring about them. However, his international credibility is shot; especially since he recently announced he intentionally likes to Canada’s PM.
The EU is putting together plans to ramp up a trade war after Trump fired the first shot with needless tariffs.
The Deficit is starting to shoot up and out of control following the recent tax plan; a plan that gives billions to the richest among us and virtually nothing to the poor and middle class.
The mid-term elections are shaping up to be a runaway for the Democrats if recent special elections are any indicator. Republicans are being dumped right and left as the country observes their complicit behavior when it comes to Trump’s misdeeds.
An analytical firm that played a very major role in Trump’s election was recently outed as a company willing do just about anything to get their client elected. Just by being associated with this company has cost Facebook $50 billion in the last 48 hours. Trump, Russia, Bannon and Kershner all have their thumbs in this toxic pie.
A pornstar is about to spill the beans on Trump. Watch 60 minutes this Sunday.
Trump got tens of millions of dollars from the NRA who is now being investigated for taking money from Russia and passing it along to Trump. The is made worse by the fact that a bunch of teenagers noticed that the NRA is apparently a terrorist organization.
Trump is under criticism for his “brilliant” plan to fight the opioid crisis with a combination of commercials and death sentences.
Trump’s cabinet is experiencing the highest turnover in modern history with insiders describing Trump’s organization as being “in chaos.”

So, he wakes up to Russia, to money laundering, to questionable associations, to a world now led by China and to at least one pornstar.

Which of these are not of his own making.

Time to save the world.

Up, up and away…
