It is time to stop apologizing. This is not a time for Kumbaya. Think it can’t happen here? “We’ll just wait and see.” “Get over it.” Like a deer frozen in the headlights of an onrushing 18 wheeler. Yikes!!! The show has not even begun yet. Trump has perfected the new media. Marshall McLuhan warned us. “The medium is the message.” he said, it’s the media that have changed our patterns of thought and behaviour. Now, in a world…
A somnambulistic public watches without much obvious resistance. This is our president elect. Before he takes office, he is already impeachable. The emoluments clause. So many good people have raised alarm bells. No one listens. “Just entertain me.” It’s all Roman Circus. Trump turning the White House into a cash machine is a quick video. A must watch. Cha Ching! Shades of Pink Floyd Money. The Press Christiane Amanpour, who knows something of state repression growing up in Iran, recoils in…
This is not normal. Keep repeating. This is not normal. We are in a fog. Every day is a “whatever.” Trump is incompetent and dangerous. Can you say that. Surrounding himself with a rogues gallery. Or is this the ultimate plan. See … government really is incompetent, so we must replace it with “something new.” Drain the swamp. Hardly. You have mucked it up more. In 1932 this is how it quickly…
We live in a post-truth world. By all objective measures Trump is a pathological liar — an inveterate sociopath of the 1st order. There is no doubt about this. And his greatest detractors are not Democrats or “left-leaning newspapers.” Whatever that means. Listen to the original comments by Ted Cruz, David Frumm, Mitt Romney, Lindsey Graham, Bill Kristol. Hardly left-leaning. The list is endless. This man is a pathological liar. He doesn’t know the difference between truth and lies. He…
How does Trump win? Millennial’s and young people don’t vote otherwise-smart people suspend all rational thought voter suppression in the South is successful enough people just don’t care whatever – it doesn’t make any difference We have a good model. The Brexit (British exit) vote in Britain was a squeaker. A slight majority voted to exit the EU. The next day huge numbers had voters remorse. There never was a plan for the “day after.” “I really didn’t know what…
It’s called Plagiarism Lie, cheat and steal. Now it’s plagiarism. That is what Republicans do best. It is how they win even with absurdly low public opinion ratings. Melania Trump becomes the most recent voice. And to use Michelle Obama as her foil. What irony. And what an outrage. They will deny it. Demur. Or call foul. No one will be called to task. “I am not responsible.” As expected, right from the campaign manager’s on the mouth. …
Trump is channeling PT Barnum, Mussolini (El Duce), and Silvio Berlusconi. Now go watch Invasion of the Body Snatchers. The original 1950’s version. Dupes and rubes. Now Zombies. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFnSxeDfENk
Jon Stewart with his usual sharp wit and incisive commentary. He mentions a vision that I have been quoting for months. Go watch the 1950’s version of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.
He never really wanted to be President. It’s all a giant ruse for all these dupes. Quoted from Salon.com Donald Trump truthers: Theories spread he’s trying to sabotage campaign after his disastrous week from hell “I believe Trump senses he is in over his head and doesn’t really want the nomination,” said one GOP strategist SEAN ILLING TOPICS: DONALD TRUMP, ELECTIONS 2016, REPUBLICAN PARTY, ELECTIONS NEWS, NEWS, POLITICS NEWS Donald Trump (Credit: AP/Gene J.

This is the only way to defeat Trump. Short, sweet and powerful. An emotional appeal without explanation. It bespeaks to the consequences of electing crazed men. Elections matter. How paradoxical that Goldwater would now be considered quite tame by comparison. Trump will not be defeated with logic or “fact checking.”
