Diehl a Bad Deal

I do not know how any thinking person, a person of intelligence even if one does not dive into the weeds of detail of the corruption of this administration, cannot see not from the complex evidence that exists but from the evidence that is right in front of one's nose.  How utterly corrupt the Trump administration is. Add to that the ark of corruption of his cabinet and it is right in front of you for even those with little or no academic experience, to see.  One need only look to find out what is being done with your, OUR tax dollar wasted to enrich Trump himself.

Trump complained about Obama golfing. The difference between the numbers of times Trump has gone golfing at Bedminster, his New Jersey golf course, and Obama's occasional golfing time off one could fit a train through.  Trump's golfing alone is costing the taxpayer millions for a presidential detail when Trump goes to one of his own golf courses let alone anywhere else including Mar-a-Lago. The money he makes off the things he privately owns being a public servant is almost incalculable. The waste and the fraud of his cohorts like Secretary of the Interior Zinke, EPA Secretary Scott Pruitt and Human and Health Services Secretary Price to name a few "[his] gang of imitation moguls seems to have forgotten that they were supposed to be working for the “forgotten Americans. It’s hard to make that claim when you use a private jet 24 times, as Price did, according to Politico. This cost a total of $300,000, and we paid for it." Multiply that by so many more like Secretary of Housing and Urban Development Carson's ordering of a $30,000 table for his office.  Add all kinds of luxury travel at taxpayer expense to the mountain of corruption in Trump's administration.  It beggars the mind that Trump as president has many many private enterprises he controls and from which he makes millions when heads of state come here to do business with the White House. Trump's many businesses of which he did not divest are there for all to see.

The Constitution itself prevents a president from doing just that as the Founders knew from their European experience that a leader could use the position as a head of state solely for his own enrichment. The Constitutional Emoluments Clause is there to prevent just that but Trump ignores it. All one has to do is open one's eyes to see that an "R" after someone's name, tied to Trump is not only tied to a foreign power, Russia or Saudi Arabia is also tied to Trump for the enrichment of himself.  The immoralities and illegalities of the Trump administration are legion; there are so many it is hard to keep keep track of  them.

Diehl supports Trump and anyone who does carries that baggage along with him.  Diehl will not buck Trump. Warren is infinitely not only academically but ethically superior to any Republican tied to Trump. Warren should have the support of the electorate of Massachusetts no matter if she's running for the Mass. Congressional Senate or even if she is looking someday to higher office. She would be wonderfully brilliant in anything she attempts. 

Surely not all Democrats are clean but Elizabeth Warren, in fact, is. As long as Republicans are tied to Trump they will acquiesce to the corruption, cruelty, meanness spirited policy and Everest size lies of this president. Further and most sadly of all they do not care!  I say there should be no deal on Diehl!

Democratic Presidential Convention--On to November

  I watched the Democratic convention last evening until my body's demand for sleep overtook me around midnight.  Having followed thin...
