My 2 cents on the latest [yawn] Wikileaks dump

The latest Wikileaks release (FUNNY HOW WIKILEAKS NEVER RELEASES ANYTHING ABOUT REPUBLICANS OR TRUMP) about Clinton Foundation money raised is just another one that will ultimately be addressed and then disappear into the mist. Why? Big surprise Foundations MUST raise money from large corporations.

When one is in a position to form a Foundation money must be raised for that Foundation. There is no other way to do it but to have surrogates go out and procure money from those multi-million dollar corporations which can afford it.

The Clinton Foundation is involved in [according to Wikileaks] the following:

Clinton Health Access Initiative (CHAI), Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) and CGI U, Clinton Climate Initiative (CCI), Clinton Development Initiative (CDI), The Alliance for a Healthier Generation, Clinton Health Matters Initiative (CHMI0, Disaster relief to name but a few.

It goes on to say the No Ceilings project In 2013, established a partnership between the foundation and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation to gather and study data on the progress of women and girls around the world since the United Nations Fourth World Conference on Women in Beijing in 1995. This is called "No Ceilings: The Full Participation Project" and many many more.
The Clinton Foundation has spent HUNDREDS of MILLIONS of dollars on charities to uplift those who need it around the globe. Nearly 90% of what it raises goes to the charities for which they procure the donations. There is no other way to do this but for connected people within that Foundation to raise that money from large corporations which also may include giving speeches. It's reality. Money does not just float into AIDS treatment or improvement of water or treatment of those with Zika virus or Ebola or find cures for a myriad of other diseases out of thin air. It is RAISED by people within the Foundation who do so from very large lucrative corporations which donate that money to improve lives of those who cannot afford to improve their own. In turn it improves the public face of those companies that give. That is the ONLY way money can be raised. Foundations raise money and large companies give their money to do good and also hope to see their own bottom line improve because it is positive for them to be seen as charitable entities.

FURTHER NO PAY TO PLAY has ever been proven against Secretary Clinton and none further has ever been proven that she used her position as Secretary of State for pay to play purposes. Period end of story.

At least no one took money from the Clinton Foundation for a 12 foot picture of themselves. Look into the Trump Foundation which has allegedly given very little to any charities about which Trump has lied that he has raised and, further, is why Trump will not release his taxes. He does not want the electorate to see what he has NOT given but says he has among a myriad of other questionable activities about which he allegedly lied. Donald Trump is a con. One should understand that by now.

FEEL FREE TO SEND THIS TO ANYONE YOU CHOOSE THEN GO OUT AND VOTE HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON INTO THE PRESIDENCY AND VOTE DEMOCRATS IN DOWN BALLOT.

Concede, Contest and Consent

Even though Hillary will probably win significantly and if she does any other sane Republican opposition would concede an election in a heart beat as is the American tradition it is different for Trump and his supporters who have no hearts. He will do anything to stick it to the nation he says he loves and better still he will do anything to hurt the Republican Party who has only itself to blame for this Frankenstein monster whom it created but who will kill it first.

In addition to the chasm in the Republican Party that has existed for quite some time there is another gum-up-the works tactic about which they must significantly worry. Rachel Maddow talked about a "Consent Decree" see http://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show in her video segment entitled "RNC in legal trouble over Trump call for poll-watchers."

Briefly, the Republicans are under a Consent Decree order from the court barring them from trolling the polls or "monitoring fraud" a/k/a "Poll Watchers" as they promote their preventing election fraud fraudulent agenda. The Consent Decree has been in effect since 1981 when Republicans "monitored" polls with phony ID's and signs to allegedly catch them in the act of committing election fraud. Who is them? Do they watch heavily Republican polls? Heck NO only those polls with a heavy African American and Democratic turnout. It is yet another voter suppression technique Republicons carry in their suppress-the-vote (the Democratic vote) democracy destroying and Republican election winning nuclear weaponry arsenal. Ironically, though fraud is rare, its business of fraudulent fraud catching is booming in Republican Gunsmoke land and those John Wayne Republicons are going to catch the bad guys -- only Democrats, of course.

Every time Drumpf tells his supporters to monitor the vote he is violating the 1981 Consent Decree ordering them to cease and desist from poll watching that is monitoring and intimidating black voters to suppress their vote i.e. the Democratic vote. If they violate this order, which I am sure they will, instead of it expiring in 2017 it will expire in 2025. Republicans want desperately for this Consent Decree to be removed but Trump is foiling their chances and the RNC is going berserk over it.

The threat is that the RNC will pull away from Trump and say to the court they are not connected to him. Just how they are going to do that I have no idea. Perhaps it is another trick in their bag of many tricks. BTW, Democrats have already filed a suit against the RNC because of new poll trolling attempts complete with green Pepe the Frog badges, a symbol now of white supremacy. I cannot wait to see how that goes down in Little House on Republican Land!

I KID YOU NOT

I am saturated and drowning in election Trumpian sludge that has waxed eternal. It is impossible to watch and hear Trump at his rallies spewing lies within them. They are a symphony of a never ending cacophonous sound. I cannot look at his orange face and his ugly combed over hair one more time. The look of him is a metaphor for the essence of his being. He is on the inside as ugly and repulsive as he is at a glance. How many lies can one hear, how much verbiage of hate, redundancy of vituperative racist comments in constant the-game-is-rigged blabbing of media mendacity whipping his base into a potentially violent frenzy until one says I'm not going to take it any more? I simply turn him off or mute the sound when he is on.

I can only hope a majority of our electorate is smarter than the Republican base who incredulously elected him to be their nation's presidential contender from a major Party and present this disgrace to the world. I hope the majority of our electorate sees this con man, carnival barker buffoon for what he is -- a narcissist personality disordered human, hate filled liar saturated with the venom of an asp doing all of this not to gain the presidency but so he will gain the constant adulation he seeks in the crowds he can hypnotically convene and, while he is at it, create a cable network with his name on it.

Imagine a man who cozies up to white supremacists and the cross burning life extinguishing KKK while disparaging Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, women, the disabled, captured military and others for nothing more than to gain attention. He most likely cannot believe that he made it this far. The risk of his walking into the oval office is a clear and present danger. Never think it is not.

I strongly urge Hillary supporters and others everywhere to vote for her and vote early if you can. If you cannot stomach a minute more of the conspiracy laden constancy of Trump's lies or the brutality of his sexual assault on women stomach whatever it takes and for how long it may take to vote for her while you vote Democratic down ticket as well.

VOTE AND GET OUT THE VOTE FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON. THIS IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT FOR PERSONS OF COLOR, HISPANICS, THE DISABLED, WOMEN, LGBT AND OTHERS EVERYWHERE. WHEN I SAY YOUR LIFE DEPENDS UPON IT, LIKE THE GREAT "TONIGHT SHOW" HOST THE LATE JACK PARR, WOULD SAY, "I KID YOU NOT" BECAUSE, IN TRUTH, IT SURELY DOES!

I VOTED. EARLY VOTING IN MASS. AND ELSEWHERE

Yep, I voted early today and only wish I had more than one vote to cast for Hillary Rodham Clinton.  Since I do not I am counting on all of  you to VOTE and get out the vote for Hillary Rodham Clinton.

Early voting begins in Massachusetts today, October 24.  If you can DO!  For those in any state including Mass. simply Google "Early voting in ______ [name your state] to get a schedule with the dates, times and places you may vote early. 

Signs are looking good for HRC BUT as good ole Yogi Berra said "It ain't over til it's over!"

VOTE AND GET OUT THE VOTE IN EVERY STATE FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON.  PUT A DECISIVE END TO trump's ugly Fascist presidential campaign!

Yes, I know I did not capitalize trump's name.  I wanted to make his name as diminutive as his hands!

Tom Hayden, a leader of the civil rights and antiwar movements in the 1960s who later became a California lawmaker, has died

I remember Tom Hayden so well from the late 1960's, a time when I shaped my political left-of-center ideals. I loved the movements for civil rights as well as the anti war movements of that era but I never became as radical as the activist left then. Still, my sympathies lay with their progressive ideals.

I, in truth, miss that time more than I can say as it provided me with a sense of humane purpose and infused life with an abundance of meaning. We were going to change the world for the better. I was young then and had much hope only to see the succeeding years fail to deliver many of the ideals I held. Still, some things did change for the good among them the election of our first Black president and soon we will go on to elect the first woman to the presidency.

I go on now with a sense of realistic pragmatism not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good. We do what we can today to fight the forces of hate and division and we never give up our nation's founding premise: "All men are created equal that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." We, the living, go on to try again for another day while we can to perfect our nation's founding ideals!

VOTE AND GET OUT THE VOTE FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON

Highway to Heaven

Clinton is on the highway to the White House. To those who question any part of the Clinton Foundation I have this to say as one blogger did: This is how charities operate, you schmooze with them and they donate. Giving speeches to help the less fortunate is not wrong.(87 percent of Clinton foundation money is spent on actual charitable works)

I say: Yes, and she did not use the money to buy a 12 foot painting of herself! Clinton's taxes unlike Trump's forever faux audit tax excuse are out for all to see. Clinton is NOT stupid, she's an attorney and has the BEST campaign support on planet earth. No one is going to risk the insane inanities and flagrant ethics abuses if not allegedly illegal behaviors of Mr. Trump. His negatives including his sexual abuses are the size of Everest and if one has a few hours one could list a mountain high size of questionable if not unethical and allegedly down right illegal behaviors galore! Next to Trump Hillary Clinton is a saint! Politics, as the compromised Christie said perhaps his only truth, is not beanbag. It is a blood sport and one must know how to navigate the shark infested waters without sinking the boat. 

The dangerous fascist Trump is dead in the water, his ship has sailed a LONG LONG time ago. Our nation should thank god that will be so!

Woman Says Trump Sexually Assaulted Her, Offered Her $10,000 For Sex

Now the sex abuse of women by Trump numbers 12 and her name is Jessica Drake. (Link below) Each woman who tells her sex abuse story with Trump I think will be the rock that sinks the bestial ship especially offering her $10,000 for sex and even though there were witnesses accompanying the woman. But no. Trump could run a whore house and his base would hug him no matter what and, really, become more impressed with him. It is testament to the ugliness and immorality of his base. This is the Republican nominee for president of the United States, the most powerful office in the world? Those who hate simply do not care about anything nefarious he does.

America has a right wingnut Republican cancer and if America does not cut it out it will sink the ship of state. Trump and his base are America's cancer. One hopes the rest of the body politic is healthy enough to keep this poison in check. I pray every minute of every day (and I am not usually a praying person) that our nation-of-immigrants glue is stronger than the cancer threatening it. I THINK we will get through it; I think the women of this nation are choking on Trumpian filth, I think persons of color know this racist MUST be defeated and I think Hispanics know that they will be rounded up even 11 million of them, separated from their families and returned to their country of origin staggered by a country they do not know and separated from all they love that they will make sure to vote. God help us if this bestial evil named Trump pulls a rabbit out of a hat and does the unthinkable ... win.

YET ANOTHER REASON I AM PRO CHOICE

HER NAME WAS SUSAN

A recent diary posted at dKos discussed the remembrances of an old ER doctor in dealing with abortion before Roe v. Wade. That diary had a profound effect on me and forced me to relive an experience from my own medical school days more than 50 years ago.

Her name was Susan. She was young. She was beautiful. She was intelligent. She was articulate. She was dying…

Susan was a 23 year old single woman who came to Los Angeles in the early 60’s to pursue her dream to become an actress. She had played the leads in her high school plays somewhere in Utah. She was runner-up in the Miss Utah pageant. She managed to get a couple of walk-on parts in some B-grade Hollywood films. She was a starlet.

A year or so after coming to the West Coast she became pregnant. The father quickly faded away into faceless LA. Her good Christian parents were humiliated, outraged and wanted nothing to do with her. She was on her own. Broke. Friendless. Pregnant. Scared.

So she took the bus to San Diego, walked across the border and headed to a cheap, dirty Tijuana abortion clinic. Four hours later she was back on the other side of the border, in pain, bleeding and completely debased. By the next day, the pain had become unbearable and she was spiking a temperature. She went to a local emergency room and was hospitalized overnight at St. John’s Hospital in Santa Monica. She was subsequently transferred to the Medicine unit at UCLA Medical Center, at that time a small teaching hospital in its embryonic stages.

I was a 3rd year medical student in my first clinical rotation at UCLA. Susan was one of my first patients. We were about the same age. I was embarking on my medical career. Her life was ending

Over the next three weeks, I learned how people die from sepsis. Her uterus was perforated. She had developed gram-negative septicemia. Our knowledge of and access to antibiotics was primitive and limited. Eventually she went into renal failure. She burned with fever. She was racked with abdominal pain. The lovely face become sallow, sparkling eyes sunken, lifeless. Her skin turned a sickly bronze color. Her breath reeked the pungent stench of ammonia. After weeks of agony, her frail body mercifully surrendered.

As I recollect these painful images of my brief encounter with Susan, the most outrageous aspect of this experience is not even the way she died. It is that she died alone. During those three weeks, she never had a visitor. There was no boyfriend - he was off to other conquests. There were no parents - they disowned her in shame and embarrassment.

Even worse was the mindset of the medical staff. While she was given the requisite care, there was little, if any, sympathy or compassion for this young woman or her situation. There was always the profound sense that “she brought this on herself,” that she was, in the final analysis, just an unfortunate tramp - Even As She Lay Dying.

It is now 50 years later and I still carry this burden of shame for myself, my colleagues, my society, my country. And to this day, whenever the subject of Roe v Wade comes up, whenever I see and hear the holier-than-thou religious fanatics trying to take away the rights of a woman to control her own body, to make her own choices, to force her into the back alleys of Tijuana, I can still smell the stench of ammonia in the air.

Goodnight, Susan, we will not forget you.

Out of the Shadows

A friend, a decidedly Progressive one, related the following comment he received on his blog:  

Some knucklehead named John Svelt just left the following comment on the latest piece on my blog:

"You're a disgusting race traitor or a goddamned jew."

Here was my answer:


"I am a race traitor. You got me there. Although not a Jew, I am, in fact, an honorary member of the international Jewish conspiracy."

It was a good, even humorous, response but in truth there is nothing funny about this longest hatred or any race hatred. Being Jewish and old enough I know they, the Jew haters, are SURELY out there. When the times present they will seize a rare opportunity to spew their venom of hate and hope for power. In the US, before Trump, these hate groups existed on the political periphery in forms like Lincoln Rockwell's American Nazi Party or Tom Metzger's "Race and Reason" and there were many others. In more modern times many also found life in the Republican Party fringe.

I do not know what kind of pathological cerebral configuration exists in their minds, how they arrived at the ridiculous conclusions that they do or whether it is simply a combination of nature/nurture but these Trumpian times have given a unique opportunity for the so called "Alt Right" to emerge out of the gaseous shadows of their primordial soup into the light.

I believe most of America is basically good but then again so did Anne Frank also believe in her heart that people are basically good. In view of her sad fate in another era we must in ours beware, be vigilant and never let these crackpots gain power. Power is deadly in Trumpian hands. No one will be safe, not you, not I, not your children and not your children's children which is why Trump, who gave these extremist malcontents on the right a forum MUST be crushed. Our nation on November 8 will be fighting for its life. GET OUT THE VOTE EVERYWHERE FOR HILLARY CLINTON.

"TRUMPLAND" -- GETTING OUT THE VOTE!

If any of you saw Larry O'Donnel then you know he had on the great documentarian Michael Moore talking about his new film "Trumpland." I will place the link below for you to view that segment.

Bottom Line: WE CANNOT BE COMPLACENT, WE CANNOT BE RELAXED BECAUSE THE POLLS LOOK SO GOOD. IF WE DO NOT GET OUT OUR VOTE, YES, TRUMP WINS. IN ALL THE STATES BUT ESPECIALLY THE SWING STATES OF STATES LIKE OHIO WHERE THE POLLING IS 45% TO 45% OUR VOTES NEED TO BE GOTTEN OUT. THIS IS A MUST.

POLITICO has identified 11 states where the 2016 election will be won and lost: Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin.

IF YOU CAN IN ANY WAY POSSIBLE REACH THESE SWING STATES TO GET OUT THE VOTE FOR HILLARY CLINTON THEN PLEASE DO SO. YOU CAN DO IT IF YOU CAN GO TO ANY OF THOSE STATES AND CANVASS, YOU CAN DO IT BY GETTING IN TOUCH WITH HILLARY HEADQUARTERS IN YOUR TOWN AND ASK IF YOU CAN DO SO BY PHONE/COMPUTER HOOK UP, YOU CAN DO SO BY MORSE CODE OR SMOKE SIGNALS, BY HORSE OR ON FOOT BUT DO SO. ALL OF THE STATES LISTED ABOVE NEED GET OUT THE VOTE ACTION FOR HILLARY CLINTON.

IF SOMEONE NEEDS A RIDE TO THEIR POLLS GET THEM ONE, IF SOMEONE NEEDS PERSUADING DO SO AS LONG AS YOU DO SOMETHING. AS MICHAEL MOORE SAID THE US IS FILLED WITH GOOD PEOPLE BUT WE ARE ALSO A COUNTRY THAT ELECTED NIXON TWICE, WE ELECTED A SECOND RATE ACTOR REAGAN TWICE, AND WE ELECTED AN INCOMPETENT GEORGE BUSH TWICE AND ARE SUFFERING FROM HIS PRESIDENCY TO THIS DAY. DO NOT THINK THIS THING IS WON. IF YOU DO IT IS THEN THAT WE LOSE AND THE UNQUALIFIED TRUMP WINS. GET OUT THE VOTE FOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON HERE IN BLUE MASSACHUSETTS BUT GET OUT THE VOTE IN SO CALLED RED STATES TOO. THE STAKES ARE HUGE, THE NATION'S LIFE IS AT STAKE; YOUR LIFE AND YOUR CHILDREN'S LIFE AND THEIR CHILDREN'S LIFE IF THERE IS A PLANET ON WHICH TO LIVE IS AT STAKE. PLEASE TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY AND GET OUT THE VOTE BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY!

WHY I AM PRO CHOICE

The following is a public posting of a woman who had the heart wrenching experience of a late term abortion. It is exactly why I am a fierce advocate for choice specifically because of people like she. I thank her for sharing her very personal experience and allowing it to go public as the reality of abortion, most especially a late term one, is NEVER as the anti-choice rightwing religious fanatics say it is and as Trump described it in woefully ignorant fashion for political expediency to court Evangelicals watching the debate last night. Abortion, in this case a late term one, is usually fraught with the difficult emotions she had to endure and late term abortions usually accompany a medical lifesaving emergency that necessitated it. Others should bear witness to her story. This is from a women in Utah, who happens to be Mormon. In my opinion her story MUST be told and is told in her words she wants others to share. Her story is as follows:

"I HAD A LATE TERM ABORTION. IT IS NOTHING LIKE DESCRIBED BY TRUMP. PLEASE DON'T BASE YOUR VOTE ON THE FEAR MONGERING HE IS DOING. PLEASE READ MY EXPERIENCE:

I had to have a late term abortion. It was the worst moment in my life. What made it even worse was the State of Utah had made it illegal. I had one dead twin. The other had severe Spina Bifida, and would only have lived with life support, in great pain, for a few days.

I lay on the hospital floor, bawling hysterically, for twelve hours, waiting for an ethics committee of the health care corporation to decide my case justified what had to be done. My health was in danger due to the dead fetus. My husband and I consulted our LDS Bishop, who assured me I needed to do what I had to do, that it was even within LDS guidelines to do so. He reminded me I had six kids at home who needed their mother to live.

The abortion was terrible. It was done very gently, by Caesarean section, leaving the babies in their amniotic sacs. The living baby passed very quickly.

It was horrific. I think it even affected my dear physician, as he had never had to end a pregnancy before. I developed PTSD for which I had to be treated for years, mostly because of the fact I had to have it at all.

No woman should have to have the state have a say in the most painful decision she will ever make. Nobody is tearing babies apart in late term. They are always humanely done, only in situations where there is a non-viable or severely defective fetus and/or the mother's health is at risk.

Please don't vote for a candidate or a party that would make these decisions for the women who will die or be forced to carry unviable fetuses to term. This is a decision that is so painful and so terrible. Only the parents of the baby and a physician should be involved in the decision."

My Final Answer

The excruciatingly-to-suffer seemingly endless debates are mercifully over and the election is in the home stretch.  Yes, the presidency is the most important office in the nation and, one can make a case, even for the world since our powerful reach extends around the globe.  Other nations are watching us with shivers that this alleged model of democratic decorum has descended into a Trumpian Fascist madness.  Hillary has remained presidential and above the fray for it all.  Her vast experience and intellectual abilities shown bright along the way and did so last night.  She is eminently qualified for the office and Trump is decidedly not! 

Yes, those who critically analyze Hillary Clinton's candidacy have a right to their opinion and, indeed, I will never say any candidate is perfect.  The ever so contentious emails have been litigated endlessly both by the FBI and the Republican controlled Congress.  The FBI made the correct decision not to prosecute as there was absolutely no nefarious intent by her.   She held up under withering onslaught that would have felled many but she endured and showed Trump's lack of stamina accusation of her to be false.  Further, she apologized (more than Trump would ever do for his never ending lies,alleged unethical and even criminal actions.)  Benghazi was masticated beyond recognition.  In the end it was NOT her fault and admitted by the then Republican Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy done to electorally discredit her.  Requests were made to enhance security in Benghazi but were rejected by a Republican Congress of no.  Hillary is NOT responsible for every blessed thing that goes awry in an administration.  No administration can be policy perfect every time and the Middle East was fractured a long time ago under a Republican administration.  The repair of it will be generational if it will occur at all. Yesterday, it seemed as if he would blame her for a rainy day. Trump's look was, well, I will say it, Un-American. The Mussolinian Trump could not manage even one smile as he gulped water to moisten his dry seemingly nervous mouth.

There is not enough time within a debate to play "This is your Trumpian So Called Life."  I am sure there was a lie counter and fact checker last evening.  Trump never fails to lose a debate as he drowns himself in wheezes, lies and unethical business practices.  Trump is a loser in business bankruptcies galore, a loser in a "charitable" Foundation to which little charity was given except to the charity named Trump and most of all, he is a loser in character.  The man has none just ask the women whom he sexually harassed.  There is not only the evidence of those claims of abuse by the woman themselves but those who knew about it after its happening and came forth to report it to the media.   The Billy Bush tape of Trump's admission to his love of groping women's genitals and kissing women on the mouth all without consent because as he stated "they let you do it" was simply the vehicle that put one nail in his electoral coffin.  It was nailed shut by his own words refusing to accept the validation of the American electoral process if it went against him.  It was a rejection of the heart of the democracy upon which the Republic itself stands.  His presidential aspirations died in that moment.

The Huffington Post headlines sum the debate up for me:  "Trump Disqualified Himself from the Presidency last night ..." Conservatives Aghast: 'Disgraceful', 'Beyond the Pale,' 'I Hope He Loses all 50 States, ...' 'Astonishing, 'Damaging' ... 'A Statement of Disloyalty Without Precedent since the Civil War...'  Andrew Sullivan (conservative): Unfit for 'Any Office in the United States'

The links are here if you choose to read more. 

Trump resoundingly lost the third and last debate and took his electoral chances with it.  As a friend so accurately assessed, since yesterday was my birthday, Hillary delivered the best birthday present of all to me -- the 2016 electoral win.  That is my final answer.

Hillary Clinton Vindicated After WikiLeaks Caught Fabricating Released Emails

http://www.greenvillegazette.com/p/hillary-clinton-vindicated-after-wikileaks-caught-fabricating-released-emails-144211/

FULL FAITH AND CREDIT

Trump is ramping up his know nothing base claiming the GOP, the Democrats and Hillary Clinton are rigging his near certain loss for president. There is, he says, an international banking conspiracy to do so.  Where is the evidence? As in the president's foreign place of birth he still questions even now despite his tersely weak statement saying otherwise, he has none.   Seldom does he say most things with proof. In Trump's world truth matters not but the eternal lies he tells are infinite and accepted by his followers without question. This minority threatens to overthrow our government if Hillary is elected, arrest her and summarily execute her.  Vandals firebombed Republican headquarters in North Carolina. It was Democrats who gave $12,000 to rebuilt it.  Who are the real patriots?

Trump has no one to blame but himself urging his adherents on to a fevered pitch threatening to never accept the electoral outcome of the 2016 presidential election. The protestation offshoot of this is right wing extremist violence. In the end the GOP created the monster Trump and he has spawned the fascists who compose his ranks.

Trump’s minions are warned not to threaten violent overthrow of the government unless they do not mind dying at the hands of the army, National Guard and other forces the US has in its arsenal to defend itself from sedition something so alien to all we know as a modern nation.

I reject most all Republican policies but I accept, when necessary, Republicans’ elevation to power. Verbally and in written word I protest their policies and hope for change.  Sometimes I get it and sometimes not.  I accept it even if unhappily so.  The full faith and credit of the American government will not be destroyed. A rational democracy must be our way of life to survive as a people, it is the American way and it will be the radicals' way whether they like it or not!

The Hope

The political arena is explosive. I and am sure you are so tired of listening to anyone about it anymore but it is like a bad accident -- I cannot look at it and I cannot look away. We have only two weeks left.  Either we elect a sane woman with excellent credentials who has, I believe, the most valid academic and professional experience to lead us the most powerful nation on earth or we plunge our nation, perhaps, into civil war with global consequences as a psychopath will be entrusted with an arsenal of nuclear bombs and other weapons of mass destruction.

This psychopath knows how to dupe the masses.  I loathe political comparisons to Hitler but the Trump phenomenon makes this appropriate comparison necessary to evoke.  His Hitlerian tactics, like the Hitler rallies at Nuremberg (1923-1938), are staggering.  It defies credulity that Trump gets as much support as he does BUT his opposition has more IF we vote.   I know why it is said and he is alleged to have a book of Hitler's speeches by his bed. That is, for me, believable.

Please, please, please, tell everyone you know to reject the charlatan Fascist-like liar and sexual predator proven to be so over and over and over again.  The women who have stepped up to tell the truth about him are, perhaps, the bravest of all putting themselves at great risk. The groups driving Trump's "campaign" trying to capture his deplorable base are the most virulent panoply of rightwing extremists and shock jock conspiratorialist crackpots ever assembled. Those who are in love with the NRA and follow Trump are capable of great violence toting the assault rifles they say they love so much.

Trump offers, as his defense of his bestial behavior against women, nothing but lies.  He denies them but video tells the truth.  His no policy policies are  buttressed with the old Protocols of the Elders of Zion antiSemitic canards long debunked as pre-revolutionary Tsarist Russian propaganda that has plagued the Jewish people throughout history culminating in the Holocaust killing of the 6 million.  Trump is a Fascist-like demagogue who will bring chaos to our nation and nations around the globe if he ever gets to the White House which I believe he, IF WE VOTE, will not.  He insults Muslims and Jews, Gold Star parents, judges, persons of color, Hispanics, women, the disabled and many more.  We have ALL heard the proof for ourselves running 24/7 on cable news and we have seen videotape of his rallies that are infused with lie after lie after lie.  He simply cannot tell the truth and he simply must not win.

Bill Maher has a segment:  I can't prove it but I just know it's true.

I will leave it to others to finally get the truth out. I cannot prove this yet but I just know it's true: There is collusion between Trump and Russian hacking. Some emails are not as they were written deducing someone trying to reprint them and doing so incorrectly. The technology map leads DIRECTLY to Russia of that there is surety no matter how the LYING BEAST tries to spin it. No one can believe one thing that orange faced gorilla says!
