Ratings

Believing this whole White House stint is reality TV, Trump became worried about ratings week. Talking to himself as he looked in the mirror he decided hr needed a bit more bling and bogus to bring back his popularity numbers; after all just having billionaires as sponsors can’t help you become the BEST PRESIDENT ever, you need an audience of the average moron. So, to kick off ratings week he decided to fire a few million dollars worth of missiles to get the people’s attention. Paid off as the stupid and of the course the media languished him with valor, honor and duty. Alas alack, the whole thing back fired as it seemed someone named trump notified his buds Assad and Putin, don’t be surprised but I am going to surprise you with some warheads….OOOPS!

Its rating week folks as in 7 days of sweeps. Gotta get those numbers up, just wonder what other big bang theory’s, the demented Donald has in mind…nukes in South Korea…raid on Teheran…or just maybe an invasion of California! Ya just never know do ya! 

Juxtapose

What an interesting twist of a plot. The United States had always been prepared for a war with Russia, not just a war bought a nuclear war. We had to be vigilant, we were told, the Russians surly want to invade our nation and will use their atomic arsenal to do so.

But in a strange juxtaposition of mere fact, it has been the Republican Party who actually nuked America and the fall out will be felt for women, the LGBT community, workers and the poor. A huge mushroom cloud exploded in the Senate Chambers and the radioactivity of the least popular president and his band of anarchists will be penetrating the rights, will and freedoms of America.

And then, on the other hand of of the juxtaposition of current events. The Russian’s did invade this nation, but without any atomic weapons. All it took was blackmail, old dollars and the hired hands of those who will do anything for profit.

Ya never quite know who your enemy is or how they will attack you!

God Bless America

Even for Rod Serling, the current events in which we, Americans find ourselves, would have been too weird to write a script, yet present it on television. But weird has lost its meaning, and relevancy in America 2017. There is trick to living each day, you find the clues letting you know what might be real versus what is a figment of the imagination of a puppet and his puppet master. Who’s have think that the Senate would go nuclear…who’s have thunk that the Speaker of the House passed a law penalizing its members of the House to protest in front of cameras on the House Floor. And who’d have thought we would be sending cruise missiles to Syria…UNLESS…

Now, bare with me, because what I am suggesting, has CONSPIRACY THEORY written all over it. Honestly, if we were not living in the Time of Trump, I would consider my own opinion too bizarre for a sane man…and currently I am maintaining the balance of sanity holding on to a very thin line. 

Putin permitted Assad to attack his people with chemicals. It is a given, that Assad will not do anything unless his boss lets, him..as is the case with Putin’s other puppet Trump. Almost a week ago, Rex Tillerson, said that it would be up to the Syrian people to overthrow their dictator, Assad. Suddenly chemical weapons are used. At the same time at least a dozen Russian oligarchs or politicos are dying, all of whom have had some intervention with Trump or his campaign team. All of the sudden, the Dems have found a backbone and have finally brought to attention of the stupid just how much and what kind of influence Putin has had and still has on the White House. Too much buzz about THE RUSSIAN CONNECTION, Americans must be lulled into a delusional, red, white and blue moment, and what better then bombing the shit out of this nasty Arabs! does Trump care about the lives of our military or the Syrians, you know the ones he will not let find sanctuary…OF COURSE NOT…Its the ratings first, and secondly, as has been the case, Putin knows Americans suffer ADD, and it is NOW time to look at the next shiny object and to keep our eyes away from the rusted crown on our Emperors head. God Bless America!

Trump Code

Space: the final frontier. “These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before”.(Gene Roddenberry) On September 8, 1966, we heard that quote and began our voyage to a frontier full of mystery, mayhem, surprises and surreal journey’s. We also leaned from the Crew of the USS Star Ship Enterprise that life as we supposed it to be was not always as it was meant to be. Often times strange beings confronted the Star Ship Crew, and the most important thing for these men and women was to communicate with these aliens, hoping to better understand their voices and their intent. The various life forms could be hostile, friendly or very nonchalant and neutral, but it was almost as if the Star Ship Crew had to break a code, had to understand the purposes of the mechanics of their communication.

Well, America, we have a life force sitting in the Oval Office who often times is as difficult to understand as those creatures living in the furthest reaches of warp speed. But like Mr Spock and Captain Kirk, with enough due diligence and effort, the code by which this monster called Trump speaks can be broken and understood. Actually, it has become q very easy pattern to learn. This Trump thing is narcissist, so much so that even when he commits indiscretions, illegal actions, commits crime, he must brag about it, This monster called Trump must shed his truths to make room for more fiction to fill the voids of his body. It is almost like a snake who will shed its old skin to make room for growth to accommodate the next phase to its life. I refer to it as the Trump Code.

Basically, when Trump concocts a story about an enemy, it is usually incubated right after a truth is told about either Trump of his team. Trump will Tweet in third grade English something that sounds like, “If I am what about you.” Trump will lash out understanding that if he accuses others of the same thing he has done, then by doing everyone will think because Trump said it meaner, all the attention will be drawn away from him. If he has lied he insists or she is lyin’, or cheatin’. He has been successful in destroying enemies by his accusations. And recently Trump is shedding more lies by accusing Obama of leaking information, when in fact it was Trumps team who has committed those actions. And now he is blaming Loretta Lynch for misusing national Security information, just as his best bud Michael Flynn and god know who else has done. Mr Spock and Captain Kirk knew that before that reacted to the alien, they had to better understand what was being said. For me the easiest thing as to what illicit and illegal actions Trump has been and is involved in, is to just listen how he causes others of doing what he has done. 

all we are

The Middle East is continuing to explode, now Syrian citizens are being tortured to death via nerve gas bombs, and what do we do, we send Jared Kushner to Iraq, so he can close a private Trump/Kushner Family business deal. The Assad Regime, the dictator paid and profiting from Russian interference and dollars, continues to rule his empire, torturing, maiming, and murdering anyone he wishes and our response is to try and close either a Siberian or Arctic oil drilling contract with the Russians, hoping that our Secretary of State Rex Tillerson uses the might of Mobile-Exxon to seal the deal. We all understand Putin pulls the strings of his satellite nations, yet now a days the US Republican leadership begs to be part of his marionette show, fearful that if Putin cuts those strings, people like Ryan, Chaffetz, McConnell, Pence and Trump will certainly be penniless, and propelled into political purgatory, and maybe a Federal Penitentiary! 

History is replete with examples of we do this for God, we do this for the good, we do this for revenge, we do this because, we can…Ethnic genocide happened in Rwanda, when the Hutu’s losing their power in government decided on genocide against their rival tribe, the Tutsi’s…we didn’t care after all this was in Africa, black man against black man. Ethnic cleansing in Bosnia as the Serbs decided that the Croatian’s were really not true Bosnians…eh, they were former Communists so who really cared. They called it the Troubles in Northern Ireland, the Protestants wanting to remain as a part Great Britain, and the Catholics wanting the same kind of freedom as their Irish cousins had. This was considered a political/nationalistic conflict…the US was torn as we had our share of both Christian denominations, but in reality, we were dealing with those pesky Negro’s who were demanding their own kind of independence. And the Holocaust…no need at first to get involved with that shit, so what if the Jews were the scapegoat…they were just Jews, how really cared. Now we have the Syrians, mainly Muslim, certainly all terrorists…so what if they die, don’t they really deserve to do so…

Why is it we have little difficulty finding reason for war, but consider it treasonous to seek peace? What is it about our own insecurities that cause us to blame God for war, because if we don’t murder in his name we are not worthy enough? Why do we believe there is more profit to be made by investing in the military, and despise the details of the health and welfare of the people? How is that we insist that our past history is more important then creating our future? Why are we only secure when we identify an ENEMY.

facts, ma'am

“Just the facts ma’am”, Detective Sergeant Joe Friday, speaking to potential perps, witnesses or people of interest, spoken on the premier of the television show Dragnet in 1951. This Detective had no time for BS, avoidance, or disdain for the truth. For 30 minutes the viewer got the details, discovered the shiftiness of the guilty and as was the case at least in cinema and television, was pleased that the bad guys or gals were sent to jail. “Just the facts ma’am”.

At least 7 Russian citizens related to the banking or politburo businesses of Russia have suspiciously died some health me dropping dead, some falling from balconies and other just stabbed. Aside from once working for Putin and of course being of Russian citizenry, they all had met with members of the trump campaign team and perhaps Trump himself. Three men so far Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Flynn were and are under investigation by the CIA and FBI for their connections with oligarchs from Russia which translated from Russian to American simple translate into Putin. Rex Tillerson received a medal of valor from Putin, Jason Chaffetz and Trey Gowdy have received campaign dollars from people whose business is directly aligned with Russian business, and rumor has it Paul Ryan has had a few conversations with Russian hackers. Trump has both publicly stated that either he was aware the Russians might have hacked anything Hillary and actually encouraged them to do more. Trump lost the popular vote by at least million votes, not representing the majority opinion of Americans. His son-in-law Jared Kushner is now on the list of those who have business dealings with the Russians during the presidential campaign. Trump has declared Putin a great leader. And yet, the Republican Talking Heads all dressed in their white privilege or if they are of color and still a Republican Talking Head, patronized just enough, so they too think they have white privilege, insist America has better things to like permitting Neil Gorsuch to become the next Supreme Court Justice.

Potential treason/anarchy/lots of possible perjury/roadblocks and detours by Trump and his associates and the Republicans want to sound offended that the Dems have the audacity to perhaps (If only) Filibuster, Gorsuch’s nomination process. If Trump and Company are innocent, let’s discover that first and not after the fact, a fact that has decades of consequences of not stopped NOW. This should be so easy, but then this is not the TV show, there is no Detective Joe Friday insisting, “Just the facts ma’am!”

the good gone bad

In elementary school, back in the day, teachers used the method of teaching the entire classroom a lesson if in fact one or two kids misbehaved. The teachers would exact a pound of flesh from all of the student body to demonstrate how bad behavior affects EVERYONE, then try to explain the proper rules and regulations to EVERYONE; even though, most of the time it was the same kids disrupting the classroom. I was one of those good kids as well the majority of my friends and we ALWAYS understood the contract between teacher and student, but could NEVER understand why WE had to be punished for the behavior of those kids who could care less, and try to get away with whatever they wanted for as long as they wanted. Seemed silly to say the least, and a waste of time to say the most.

Now, in 2017, we are being told that just because the Republicans did not obey the rules of the Constitution by permitting a sitting president to nominate a Justice for the Supreme Court, that the Dems, should not be obstructionists and NOT try and Filibuster the Trump nominee Gorsuch. We are being told, that “most Americans want a vote on Gorsuch.” I understand Republican hypocrisy is in fact the new fact of life, but honestly if I hear or read one more pompous person try to explain that if a popular president elected for two terms with majority votes and Electoral College tally’s was not permitted to have his nomination face an up or down vote in Congress…if HE was not given that respect and the people were supposedly NEVER pissed about that…BUT now a man in who is in office due to direct intervention as he and his campaign have colluded with the Russians, whose tax records have not been disclosed and who lost the majority vote by the people…that HIS nominee even being Filibustered is somehow Un-American and some thing that the people expect…I will finally reach my wits end.

Everyday Trump remains in the Oval Office is a new day that a piece of democracy has rotted and died along with freedoms, equality and fairness. Everyday, Trump and the Republicans believe this is not a democracy and refuse to respect “checks and balances”, the planet and its life form begin to suffer. Everyday, Trump remains as the Emperor Puppet, chances for something better hide, never to be found. But, it also seems that the longer the Dems do nothing at all to stop this man, their chances of being our next hope for change also disappear. It seems now, the Dems are going to cower and vote on a Justice, whose record of anti, worker, anti education and LGBT community and anti choice will become a member of the Supreme Court. When I hear the argument that the court should not be a political hack, I have to wonder, how come NOW it is not supposed to be a venue for politics, when in the past year, that was all the Republican leadership plotted and planned.
