DONALD TRUMP SKIPS THE DEBATE AND IT WAS FANTASTIC ...



So, I watched the debate because I wanted the FOX ratings to be as high as possible.  AND, it was the first Republican debate that was substantive and informative.  They're still all wacko but the debate was CIVILIZED.  No name calling, no insults.  Thank you Mr. Trump for picking up your toys and going home.  I can't wait for tomorrow when everyone is talking about how nice the debate was WITHOUT you.  I think you seriously miscalculated.    

Instead of attending the debate he threw together an event for veterans (of which Donald Trump is not one because he dodged the draft during Vietnam and received deferment after deferment fucking coward).

I found it extremely disingenuous that he was commending the vets and soldiers for what they do for our country all the while KNOWING that he dodged the draft.  How can he pander to them like that?  It's not only embarrassing, but shameful.  I don't know how any of those veterans can take him seriously let alone have any respect for him.  

Time will tell how The Donald fares as this race continues.  Hopefully he will fade away and go back to the world of business and screwing those folks instead of possibly screwing the country.

SARAH...


 ...and I quote:



“I can’t help thinking that, if I had been elected Vice-President, Bristol and Willow wouldn’t have gotten into that drunken brawl and Track wouldn’t have threatened his girlfriend and whatnot,” she said. “Thanks, Obama.”


Yeah Sarah.  It's all Obama's fault.  Let me school you a little.  You see Hon, there's this thing called a vote.  It's what people do when they chose who they want to be president.  And guess what?  THE PEOPLE DID NOT CHOOSE YOU.  So you see, it is not Mr. Obama's fault that you're not V.P.  It's the ENTIRE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.  Deal with it.   






Do you feel like I do?  Frustrated?  Angry?  Fed up?  Insulted?  Furious at these 'politicians' who say what they say, get away with what they do, and infect the Universe with their poison?


Trump says that he could shoot somebody and still not lose voters.  Let that sink in for a moment.  What he is really saying is that his supporters are so stupid that he literally could shoot someone in the street and these stupid people would still vote for him.  It is NOT a compliment.  He knows his supporters are dumb, and he knows that he is full of crap, but it doesn't matter to him because he can still count on a bunch of morons to continue to support him despite the fact that he has NO PLAN WHATSOEVER.  In fact, he's banking on it.  So all you loyal Trump supporters ... THAT is what Mr. Trump thinks of you.  


Back to Sarah.  After her ridiculous attempt to blame President Obama for her son Track's violent streak and arrest because of his PTSD, it now turns out that Track NEVER SAW ACTION.  (I find it very interesting how these right wingers love soldiers and warfare but most of them have never engaged in it ... aka DONALD TRUMP, DONALD RUMSEFLD, RUSH LIMBAUGH, GEORGE W., etc., etc., etc.)  ANYWHO Track Palin was a part of Alaska's 25th Infantry Division's 1st Stryker Brigade Combat Team that served in Iraq for one year in 2008. While honorable, the time he spent in Iraq that Palin claims caused his PTSD was under the orders of then President George W. Bush, and not President Barack Obama.  And his service consisted of driving around Generals and VIPs. He never saw combat.  WOW.  WHAT A HERO.   


Since that time, Track Palin has been in numerous run-ins with the law, including a massive brawl at a house party in Anchorage, Alaska in 2014. No charges were filed, but CNN notes that Track attempted to start a fight with his father, Todd, and was described as being "heavily intoxicated" and "belligerent."  


Apparently, Track is quite the A**hole.  He still lives at home with his Mama Grizzly and rumor has it that after allegedly cutting the brakes on a school bus he was given the choice of the military or jail.  He chose the military and enlisted in 2007. 


Then you got the Bristol mop (aka Abstinance Queen) criticizing Ted Cruz for being mean to her mommie.  Bristol dear ... IT'S POLITICS.  Now, why don't you go feed the babies and let the adults talk. 


I'm done.

THE DONALD AND THE DITZ ...




Donald Trump has received the imprimatur from the Queen of the Republican party, Sarah Palin.  What does this mean exactly?  Well, to the Tea Party I guess they’re coming all over themselves with joy.  To me?  It’s more like The Blind leading the Blind, or Dumb and Dumber playing politics …. I know I know! … let’s Run for President! [insert happy face].

That the Tea Party and working class Republicans DO NOT get that this man Trump is pandering to them on a level that couldn’t be more obvious if he held up a sign that said “I AM PANDERING TO YOU” is beyond belief to me.  He holds up a bible, a book I can assure you he’s never read, and then misquotes scriptures to the crowd.  But amazingly, they’re willing to OVERLOOK this. 


And his numbers continue to surge … it’s remarkable.  


In another article I read today Melania Trump has chosen to stay out of the race.  This is obvious.  We have hardly seen her.  My guess is that she is so embarrassed by his bombastic behavior she’d rather not be around it in a public setting.  At home I’m sure it’s a different story.  She seems to be quite elegant and well-spoken however, how she can live with such an egomaniac is beyond me.  But then, I’ve never lived life as a bazillionaire so I guess that alone is motivation enough to make one get naked with The Donald.  Although personally, I’d have to have a trash can right next to the bed so I could vomit immediately afterward.  

Now there’s talk of Sarah Palin as possible V.P.  GOD HELP US.  As usual Trump is remaining mum on the subject until the world at large is on the verge of climax and THEN he’ll reveal his running mate.  Spare me Donald.  I really don’t care who you choose as a running mate.  You can pick Sarah Palin or Bart Simpson.  It’ll be all the same to me. 

Despite the sarcasm and humor of this post, despite the photograph of Sarah Palin as Wonder Woman and Bart Simpson flashing us his bum, it is frighteningly similar to what is actually happening and I wouldn't put it past the Republican party to steal these images on my blog and incorporate them into their campaign!  That is how serious and illogical and ridiculous the Republican party has become.

SARAH PALIN ENDORSES DONALD TRUMP ...


The circus gets crazier.  Look at that look on his face ... like he's not sure whether to be happy about this or not.  

In all seriousness ... this race has become curiousor and curiousor.  Palin endorsing Trump is like Dumb and Dumber playing "let's run for president!"  This morning I saw a clip of Donald Trump citing scripture ... 2 Corinthians or was it Corinthians 2?  Oh well, IT WAS THE BIBLE in any event.  A book I'm certain Donald Trump has NEVER read.  Talk about pandering.  And these poor evangelicals and Tea Party Republicans are willing to overlook the fact that he is CLEARLY PANDERING to them for their vote.  That he knows NOTHING of biblical principals or scripture ... it's tragic.  He has no shame.  They have no shame and Palin has no shame.  Sarah Palin will do ANYTHING to get back into the limelight of her once illustrious fifteen minutes of fame shouting to the crowd "LET'S GO KICK SOME ISIS ASS!"  The rest of her talk was just a bunch illogical blathering.  


Meanwhile, on Meet the Press Chuck Todd interviewed Marco Rubio who declared that "diplomacy is for wimps" ... Marco, ... YOU, who have never worn the uniform of a soldier, YOU who barely showed up to vote, YOU who compare yourself to Ronald Reagan (eyes rolling) stated when asked about the release of the prisoners from Iran ...
 
 “I don’t think these Americans should have ever been in prison. They didn’t do anything wrong. They are hostages. And so now we have a president that has traded hostages in exchange for prisoners who did commit a crime and were convicted after due process and a trial and everything of that sort.”


Uh ... Marco ... your quote right here "... And now we have a president that has traded hostages in exchange for prisoners who did commit a crime and were convicted after due process and a trial and everything of that sort."  

You do realize that Ronald Reagan did the same thing right?  Iran-Contra?  Remember that?  Oh.  I forgot.  You weren't born yet.  Marco, READ A F**KING HISTORY BOOK before you open your mouth. 

And he also uttered this pearl ... 

“At the end of the day when I am President, I will repeal the deal with Iran…and we will impose sanctions. It will be like Ronald Reagan where as soon as he took office, the hostages were released from Iran.”

Marco, you sound like Nicholas Cage's character in "Peggy Sue Got Married" when he cries as his girlfriend is breaking up with him ... "YOU'LL SEE!  I'M GONNA BE JUST LIKE FABIAN!"

This race is one for the history books.  Truly.

THE DEBATE ...

As for Trump whining about how stupid China thinks America is ...


Donald Trump Gear Is Often Made in China

In his campaign kickoff on Tuesday, Donald Trump blasted cheap Chinese goods — but he has no problem putting his name on them and selling them. 

The day after his tirade, the Trump Store inside the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York boasted an array of imported goods, including teddy bears and T-shirts from China alongside products from Haiti, Nicaragua and Lesotho. 

Trump mentioned China two-dozen times in the opener to his 2016 presidential bid, accusing that country and Mexico of putting Americans out of work.  "They can’t get jobs, because there are no jobs, because China has our jobs and Mexico has our jobs," Trump said.

But visitors to the Trump Store in the lobby of the Trump Tower on Fifth Avenue in New York City, or to the displays of Trump clothing at Macy's in New York's Herald Square, would be hard-pressed to find much labeled "Made in the U.S.A."
At the same time Trump was speaking in New Hampshire, his Trump Store was contributing to the growth of Chinese manufacturing, arguably at the expense of American workers, selling $80 Trump-branded cotton sweaters and $70 Trump-branded warm-up tops, all made in China. Also available with the made in China tag: golf hats stamped with the Trump crest and stuffed animals. 

Visitors also could buy leather made-in-China belts priced at $45 that are advertised as "So soft, it feels like a million bucks." And in the display case were neat stacks of colorful Trump-branded polo shirts that would be perfect wear for one of Trump's golf courses. The shirts, which sell for $70, were not made in China, but nearby, in Korea and Thailand. 


There's a word for this kind of person.  HYPOCRITE.   


MARCO RUBIO - The Cuban Ken Doll ...



(From New York Daily News)

Sen. Marco Rubio reportedly used his elected office to needle regulators and score a real estate license for his convicted drug dealer brother-in-law.

In 2002, Rubio wielded his influence as majority whip of the Florida House of Representatives to recommend relative Orlando Cicilia for a real estate license despite a prior conviction for drug trafficking.

Rubio used his official statehouse stationery for a letter to the Florida Division of Real Estate that advocated for "licensure without reservation" but did not disclose Cicilia was married to his older sister Barbara, The Post said.  

Cicilia previously served a lengthy prison sentence for his role as the reported "front man" for Cuban-American cocaine kingpin Mario Tabraue, a drug lord who kept spotted leopards on the grounds of his mansion.

Tabraue spent more than a decade behind bars after his 1989 trial reportedly included testimony he tried to dismember the body of a federal informant with a machete. (Nice).

Cicilia, 58, also went to trial in 1989 and was convicted of distributing $15million worth of cocaine.  He was out of jail less than two years when Rubio sent his glowing endorsement to state regulators, The Post reported after obtaining the letter through the Florida Public Records Act.

Now running for the Republican presidential nomination, Rubio reportedly wrote to the regulators in 2002 that he had know Cicilia "for over 25 years." He did not elaborate on the relationship or mention that the former drug dealer was living in the same West Miami residence as Rubio's parents, The Post reported.
Rubio, 44, declined to answer questions about Cicilia, the newspaper said.

Now the junior U.S. Senator from Florida, Rubio also declined to say whether he or his family received financial assistance from Cicilia before or after the dealer's home was seized but the money was not recovered, according to The Post.

And this man wants to be our President.  

There's a word for a man like this .... HYPOCRITE.
