The Imbecile (Trump) Is Feeding His Ego With Campaign Style Rallies and Supporting Russia

"We Won In A Landslide" No, You Didn't

You Lost The Popular Vote By 2.5 Million And Ranked 46th In The Electoral College, That's NOT A Landslide

     With 34 days left to his inauguration President-elect Donald J. Trump is ignoring the fact the Vladimir Putin is responsible for hacking our country, interfering with our election process, interfering with our political process, and attacking our democracy. He is not only ignoring facts but is discrediting our entire intelligence community.

     Donald Trump has already created dangerous situations where he is being blackmailed by the President of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. "Some of the most egregious that have emerged involve countries in Asia and it's subregions, particularly the Philippines." Read more: How Donald Trump's Business Ties Are Already Jeopardizing U.S. Interests - Kurt Eichenwald, Newsweek

    Trump has picked for the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a man who denies climate change, denies climate change! He picked a guy that is against the minimum wage to head up the Depart of Labor. He picked Lt. General Michael Flynn, (Ret.) who "inappropriately shared" classified information with foreign military officers in Afghanistan and was separated from the military yet started a "Lock Her Up" campaign against Hillary Clinton after the FBI found there was no "reasonable" evidence that her e-mail server had compromised classified information. Read more
 He picked someone to head Health and Human Services (HHS) that wants to privatize Medicare. Medicare operates on a 2% administrative cost whereas commercial insurance companies were keeping 40%-50% of the money collected for premiums for administrative costs and turning around and giving that money to executives as bonuses, prior to The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) and are still taking 18%-20% of premiums as "administrative costs." Trump picked the Exxon/Mobil CEO to be Secretary of State. A man who after the United States brokered a deal so that the people in one of the poorest countries in the world would be cared for, after they discovered oil, got the dictator of that country to throw out the U.S. and another oil company to get paid by Exxon and use $4.5B to buy weapons instead of feeding, educating, and building hospitals. Read more.

     The President-elect is choosing to deny what the intelligence community has reported and is supporting Russia saying "hacking, who even knows if there was hacking, and they say it was Russia, they don't know if it was Russia, it could be Russia, or China, or a 400 lb. man in a bed," and that was said AFTER he was briefed and knew it WAS Russia that not only interfered with our election, but quite possible it was done to help him win, and that Vladimir Putin was directly involved.

     Even Republicans are in agreement with President Obama, a very big difference of the case for Obama's entire eight years, that Putin, and Russia, must be retaliated against for what they did, and are still doing. It was reported today that Russian hacking continues unabated to this day.

     President Obama will address the nation at 2:15 PM EST to address this crisis. President Obama yesterday suggested that Vladimir Putin was involved in the hacking and went further in saying that the U.S. WILL respond. "I think there's no doubt that when any foreign government tries to impact the integrity of our elections that we need to take action, and we will, at a time and place of our own choosing. Some of it may be explicit and publicized, some of it may not be, but Mr. Putin is well aware of my feelings on this because I spoke to him directly about this.

Does Donald Trump REALLY Want Be President?


Photo by www.nydailynews.com

  The short answer is no. Yesterday in my post Trump & Clinton Continue Their Blatant Lies - But they're Really Not Good At It I expressed my thoughts about what I thought Trump's plan for the future was. It included the fact that I did not believe in any way, shape, or form, that Donald Trump, Republican Nominee for President of the United States would ever actually fulfill his duties as President of the United States should enough ignorant people allowed him to win. I didn't think he has a snowballs chance in hell but when you look at the polls you quickly realize that there are a large number of low-information, "I only watch Fox News," and/or simply stupid (not just dumb) voters in America.  

     Yesterday on Morning Joe/MSNBC, Joe Scarborough said he had lunch with someone who is very close to Trump. He confirmed that Trump does not want to actually BE President. He told Joe that Donald's "best case scenario" would be to lose the election by one-half of one percentage point so that he could say "they stole the election from me" for the rest of his life. That is consistent with my thoughts. I wrote:

     A couple months after Donald Trump declared he was running for President, someone interviewing him showed him pictures of former President George W. Bush and of President Barack Obama, they were portrayed wearing garb of the country they were visiting (separate events) and Trump was asked if he would go to other countries and wear their traditional garb. Trump's response was a very quick "NO! no, I would have someone else do that." Donald Trump Jr. was sent to vet Governor John Kasich (R-OH) as a potential running mate for Trump. He asked Governor Kasich what he thought about being the most "powerful Vice President in the history of America." Kasich responded "how would that be?" Donald replied "you would be in charge of ALL domestic and foreign policy." Kasich said "but that's everything, what would President Trump be doing?" Donald Jr. replied "making America great again."  

     Again, consistent with Trump never in a million years putting all his money in a trust, living on the President's salary of only $400,000/year, and being tied to the grueling schedule of the POTUS, it will NEVER happen!

Hillary Clinton Must Think Americans Are Complete Idiots

     Hillary Clinton, Democratic Nominee for the President of the United States continues to lie. She is again using old lies that have been totally rebuffed, contradicted, proven to be false. She knows that she is lying, she knows the American people knows she lying, and she doesn't care. In an article in The Atlantic on August 1, 2016 Why Can't Hillary Clinton Stop Lying?  "On Sunday, the former secretary of state told FOX News’ Chris Wallace that FBI Director James Comey cleared her of misleading the public about her rogue email server at the state department: “Director Comey said my answers were truthful, and what I’ve said is consistent with what I have told the American people, that there were decisions discussed and made to classify retroactively certain of the emails.” That’s wrong and she knows it, which makes it a lie."

     She is arrogant and counts on the American people being "low-information," gullible, uninformed, unable to seek out the truth, people who will vote for her no matter what she does, or says, because her opponent is uninformed, narcissistic, misogynistic, racist, who is hateful and losing his mind attacking a Gold Star family. While she is right about some people (Trump supporters) most Americans can see through her lies and will not vote for her.

What can the American Voter Do To Send Both Parties a Message That They Are Not Going To Stand For A Corrupt, Establishment, Two-Party System, and A Broken Election Process?

     American voters can vote for a 3rd party to show that they will vote for a 3rd party in future elections. I know, I' get these responses whenever I bring up voting for a 3rd party candidate, and here are my responses[Reprinted from August 2, post Trump & Clinton Continue Blatant Lies - But They're Really Not Good At It

 1) "I would but I'm afraid to because I don't want Trump to win." Response: Trump will NOT win this election, not even the Republicans want that. Their party has been hijacked by him. Even though this presidential election is the most important in decades due to the fact that anywhere from two to five U.S. Supreme Court Justices will be appointed I do not fear Trump winning. Today on Morning Joe/MSNBC Joe Scarborough said he had talked to someone very close to Trump and that friend said that Trump believes his best outcome to be beat by a half a percentage point so he Could say "the election was stolen" for the rest of his life. This falls right in with what I've believed for some time. Trump would NOT take on the duties of POTUS, he's having fun because he's a mega-narcissist and getting tremendous attention on the campaign. See"Donald Trump Does NOT Want To Be President - He Will Never Take On The Duties of the POTUS" below.

2) "A third-party candidate doesn't have a snowballs chance in hell of winning." Response: No, they don't. But if we send a message that we won't stand for a rigged two party system, AND fight injustices like the media block out of 3rd party candidates, AND that we're done putting up with the current, corrupt, disrespectful, politicians that don't represent us, but represent 1%er's and large corporations, by a noticeable percentage of voters voting for a 3rd party candidate, we CAN CHANGE FUTURE ELECTIONS! The "movement" will be moving forward and growing as the message of "we WILL vote for 3rd party candidates" is acknowledged. 

3) "Although I like a lot of what is in Dr. Jill Stein's platform, there are things I disagree with." Response: You're not going to find a candidate running that is for all the positions that you are for, in ANY party. You certainly aren't going to find everything you want in what Trump and Clinton are saying and what they will actually do. Again how can you vote for someone like Trump who yesterday said "she has no right to criticize my campaign, she couldn't even beat Bernie." George Stephanopoulos had to remind him that "she DID beat Bernie," and Trump said "barely." Really?!

4) "What can we really do to get the "movement" or "revolution" to gain traction? Response: We can get behind groups, organizations, activists, that support 3rd party candidates and help their chances for future elections i.e. Anonymous Launches Campaign to Oppose Media Blackout of Green Candidate
   
5)  "We only have 98 days left before the election, what can we really get done?" Response: We can do a lot. We can get a percentage of the vote to make the two current parties see that we ARE ready to vote for 3rd parties. We can support, and work towards, getting obstacles for 3rd party candidates removed, so that in a future election a 3rd party candidate will actually have a chance to win!

Voting For A 3rd Party Candidate Won't "Give Trump A Win" But It Will Change The Way Our Election Process And The 1%er Owned Media Do Business In The Future 

     It is obvious that Dr. Jill Stein doesn't have "a snowballs chance in hell" of winning the presidential election but that doesn't mean that she can't do a lot for the American people,  the broke election process we are enduring, and 3rd party candidates in the future.  The media blackout on 3rd party candidates is not even disputed. Bernie Sanders, the Democratic primary, but he did do many good things, he got many issues put into the Democratic platform, he brought many young people into the election process, he got over 8 million people to make an average donation of $27 showing that you don't need 1%er's, corporations, and special interests, to make a run for office. Should a third party candidate get a respectable number of votes it will increase efforts by many to fight the issues surrounding 3rd party candidates for future elections. Issues like the media block, donations to 3rd parties, and many other obstacles that exist today. 

Which 3rd Party Candidate Has The Best Chance of Sending The Message?  

     Dr. Jill Stein, Presumptive Green Party candidate for President of the United States. @jillstein2016 - Jill2016 Jill Stein for President on Twitter, on Facebook Jill Stein for President 2016, is a candidate that is currently on the ballot in 31 states, her campaign is currently petition in 15 states, filed and awaiting results in 2 states and can be written in in Indiana and North Carolina. Look at Jill Stein's bio on Wikipedia   and the Green Parties Platform and see if your willing to send a very important message to the Republicans and Democrats.

“Like Gravity” Fast Track Trade Sinks Jobs and Wages

“Like Gravity” Fast Track Trade Sinks Jobs and Wages

Earlier today I asked my followers on Twitter and Facebook to join me in contacting their Congressmen/women and U.S. Senators to urge them to oppose the “Fast-Tracking” of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade agreement, because it is being negotiated in total secrecy and could end up being a NAFTA on steroids. I understand President Obama wanting to not have to include Congress in the negotiations because they oppose and block everything he does. But, to have this complete deal being done with no one else involved is just to dangerous. If you would like to help, use this link, it will ask for your zip code and immediately find your Congressmen/women and U.S. Senators and give you their phone numbers. If you prefer, they will automatically e-mail all 4 of your Reps.

A few hours after I made that request the Center for Media and Democracy’s PR Watch posted this article.
