Filing for bankruptcy is easier than running a country.

Washington needs change but not his kind of change. He is worse than DC hiding his taxes is not honesty along with all his administrations ties to Russia.

I live in NJ and see the wake of destruction he left behind through the abandoned casinos in AC and the small company's he drove into bankruptcy. I know people that worked for him and told me how big a condescending narcissistic he is. I read his first book and visited Trump Tower, this doesn't make me an expert but an educated voter in such a turbulent campaign. The people in the mid-west probably only know him through what they have seen on TV or his rally's.

The people I see bringing up the 2016 campaign is the President which puts his opponents base in a defensive position.

Is it possible to laugh and cry at the same time?
It was a mind boggling comment. Jaw-dropping. I knew the guy was ill prepared for the office, but to have so little comprehension that he thought the job was going to be easy?

Goes back to the fact that Trump never really expected to get elected, even to the very end of the campaign. He never wanted the office because Trump has no interest in actually working for a living, much less tackling one of the most difficult and stressful jobs in the world.

What is he trying to convey?

  • "Please don't be mean to me!"
  • "Please, have sympathy."
  • "Please don't take away the admiration and adoration I crave!"
  • "Come to my Rally Saturday night - fill the stands. Show me that you love me no matter how I screw up the country and your lives - that's all I ask."

I doubt if the POS Con man has ever broken a sweat in his life, by actual physical work, much less have the brain power to do anything mentally exhausting! He would have never lasted a year with a board controlled business, as all his many asinine business failures that he totally controlled prove!

It IS quite possible to laugh, and cry, at the same time. It's all that's been happening since his inauguration.


Being President, who would have thought it would be so complicated?
Frankly, I was shocked by his honesty on the subject...especially considering it was Trump.

I'd be curious to hear Presidents Obama, Bush and Clinton comment....especially Obama who didn't have much experience or executive seasoning like being Governor etc.

I think that is what will keep his polls lows--it's his character and temperament, and he will not outgrow that. The hubris, ego and bragging is a huge turn-off. If he had the least sense of modesty, self-deprecation or humility, he might be slightly more likable. When, as president, he starts off on how great he is, it literally makes me want to throw up, and it gives me great pleasure to shut him up by turning him off. He is no longer an amusing train wreck. He is a disgusting representative of the US.

Then there are the excuses and blame--he cannot make a comment about foreign policy or any policy, for that matter, without making a nasty comment, insulting or assigning blame to a past president or admin. He thinks this makes him look better, but in actuality, it makes him appear small and petty.

He shows absolute disrespect for others as humans, no matter what their official positions. It is not 'non-pc' to childishly insult and attack people (congress members, presidents, political opponents)--it is rude and boorish. He takes great joy in insulting others in an almost sadistic manner.

Trump appears proud and absolutely gleeful when announcing how he is rolling back laws and regulations that protect Americans, consumers and the environment, or simply reflect his own ignorance on global issues.

He whines, complains, acts like a child. Tonight he will hold rally and brag about the electoral college (probably give handouts) at the exact same time of the WH Correspondents' Dinner. Really--you cannot get much more transparently childish and egotistical than that.

It is almost as if he is making a concerted effort to be unlikable. It is working.

I heard Fallon joke about this last night and said to my wife, "Trump didn't actually say that, did he?"

Nuts, with the beginnings of dementia, (IMO). Why not resign and go back to his former digs????? One can only hope.

Congress needs to wake up and smell the coffee. Our leader says "no other president has done as much, in 100 days." Yeah, right, no president has taken us back 100 years in 100 days. A record!!!

The saddest thing about America may not be Trump himself.... It is the blindness of the people.

I find it quite frustrating that people can't see that all these decades, the conflict which exist in Congress and why Congress cannot make Bi-Partisan peace is so simple that the obvious escapes the minds of people. They can't see the forest for the trees.

"Modern Day REPUBLICANS" believe in all that the Confederacy stood for, they are the Modern day confederates.

"Modern Day DEMOCRATS" believe in all that the Union Stood for, they are the Modern Day Union.

This is why Republicans push for "Industry BEFORE People. (Industry Controls and Regulate People)
This is why Democrats Push for "People BEFORE Industry" (People make Industry work)

This war has been waged right before the peoples eyes, and they can't see it because the General Solders Wear Suits.

The people wear everyday clothing.

Look at the mentality of the Republican and one is looking directly at the Confederacy.
Look at the mentality of the Democrats and one is looking directly at the Union

The Confederates "NEVER" Cease the War, they changed battle field and devised tactics within this battle field of today. This is why, lying has no meaning to them, the continual contention has no meaning to them.

When a black man became President, their Special Forces went into acts, "The Tea Party", once he was out of office, you no longer hear the word Tea Party in the media as it was as long as a Black Man was President.

Republican would not allow a vote for the Supreme Court, because they want a Confederate Court. They now have a Confederate Attorney General, they Have a Confederate Secretary of State, they have a Confederate Vice President, and they have a Confederate President.

They enlisted Russia to support their Surge, and if one looks at Russia, they can see what the Confederacy looks like, it is where the Wealthy Control All Public Services and their President can empower Industry to do anything it wants and he can give that power to whom ever he wants.

They are not concerned with broad social programs, and neither is the Republican Party in America. Their ideals tell them, that the only thing that the Government should support is "the military". This was the same as the Old Southern Confederacy. They had no programs for the people. They provided no service for the safety net for the people. Either you were a slave or an indentured servant, therefore you were due nothing from the governance system.
The slave could not vote and the indentured servant often did not have the right to vote, as being many were newly arrived Immigrants, or too poor to have the capability of mindset to involve themselves in concerns about politics. and women were not persons, they were a form of Property, she had no rights, and could not vote. When Trump took office among his first acts was to roll back "equal pay for women" and proceed to push agenda that takes control over a woman's body.

Those who do nothing are inviting shame, as well as violence. Those who act boldly are recognizing right, as well as reality."— John F. Kennedy


The Civil War Rages On, The NRA has ensured to arm heavily the Confederate citizenry, and Now they have power over the Military.

America will be dumbfounded when Trump creates enough chaos to invoke Martial Law, Suspend the Constitution and Re-Draft it under the Ideals of the Confederate aspirations. When the Judge Stood against Trump, pay attention to what Trump's choice became. It was to "Disband the Ninth Circuit Court". The sad thing is there was no uproar by the Democrats, and it is this nature of passivity that Democrats continue to wave a white flag of surrender, and have no idea what is worth fighting for. They are still trying be some "play nice and be kind to the Republican silliness" and each time the Republican strike a blow against the Democrats.

The Democrats have allowed the Republican to push as Message as if the Democratic Party has imploded, and then the Democrats go into a mode of passivity and allow themselves to be defined and in being defined by such means, they become submissive to being defined. They become passive and will not rally around those in their party who have voice. The only unrelenting voice in the Democratic Party today is Elizabeth Warren. She is the Only General in the Democratic system willing to stand up and speak up and directly confront the Republican in the exact same raw language that Republican understand. The Rest of the Democratic party is trying to play games of "speak nice and don't call it what it is. When Democrats wake up and realize these Republican Confederates will never Cede anything to you!!!!!! They do not play by your Democratic Minded Rules. Republican are like the Gutter Dog, and The Democratic Party is trying to conduct itself like a French Poodle. Elizabeth is the only voice that shows it teeth and will bite and do so with conviction, and the rest of the democrats sit idle and unaware to even rally and support her. Hillary has taken to passivity and silence, which is a travesty. She should be canvassing America making people aware of what is taking place. But first she has to realize, the War that is being waged, and call it what it is, It's the same Civil War and the fight is against the Confederacy.

Confederate have no interest or concerns and certainly no respect for the System of Governance Set up under the Union. Trump made that clear when he denigrated everything about America and its Governance Systems.

They have their Confederate White Nationalist Organizer as the right hand man beside the President, "Steve O'Bannon".

The Confederate do not fight by the rules of the Union, they are into Guerrilla Warfare on every front. They adopted this tactic when they knew they would need to use a battle field the people would be blind to see. They know they could confound the people by playing Party Flip Games, and conduct their War in Congress.

The Democrats, failed to understand their Enemy, they thought there was honor in the confederates to accept defeat. But, just the premise of the Confederacy engaging in Civil War, should have indicated that they would not surrender. they simply cede the gun battles on the landscape and took their war to the Congress.

Their first act was to "kill Lincoln", and the second act was Andrew Johnson giving the Southern States back the rights to engage efforts to seize labor for free and promote indenture among the poor whites and poor blacks. They pitted the Poor Whites against the Poor Blacks to keep wages low. And told the poor whites to blame it on blacks. But all the while it was the Wealthy Who has always held back the poor whites, and used them to try and contain and constrict any upward mobility among blacks.

Quote:

Toward the end of the Reconstruction era, something very significant happened. That is what was known as the Populist Movement. The leaders of this movement began awakening the poor white masses and the former Negro slaves to the fact that they were being fleeced by the emerging Bourbon interests. Not only that, but they began uniting the Negro and white masses into a voting bloc that threatened to drive the Bourbon interests from the command posts of political power in the South.

To meet this threat, the Southern Aristocracy began immediately to engineer this development of a segregated society.

It may be said of the slavery era that the white man took the world and gave the Negro Jesus, then it may be said of the Reconstruction era that the southern aristocracy took the world and gave the poor white man Jim Crow. He gave him Jim Crow. And when his wrinkled stomach cried out for the food that his empty pockets could not provide, he ate Jim Crow, a psychological bird that told him that no matter how bad off he was, at least he was a white man, better than the black man

Read the Speech At Selma by Martin Luther King Jr.
People need to truly slow down and learn - Stop getting lost in the "drama spins". Trump used it effectively on the masses. When Session was under pressure and the Democrats could have gain public support to block him, Trump desecrated the public by this "wiretapping claims'. When it was time to push his Nomiee to the Supreme Court, Trump fired missiles into the dirt in a country he cares nothing about. The public fell for the distractions and Trump filled the court and no one knew what the hell happen.

Long before the Campaigning Started, The Confederate Republican pushed the drama to set up the stage to attack Hillary, with the drama about Benghazi... and then when it was exposed that the Republican had the right to fund for better security, and they had got the public turned against Hillary, they shut up about Benghazi.

People don't understand the nature of the way battle is wage in this Modern Day Civil War by the Confederacy.

They used distraction, diversion and called upon foreign support to dilute and dismay the Democratic vote, and Democrats fell for it, they pitted Sander against Hillary, and they knew then they could gain victory. Sander fell into the trap, and got caught up in his own popularity, and did not know how to carry his people to the Nominee. The pledges Electroal votes for the Nominee was in place, but Sander would not get out of the way, and fed more into the conflict and Trump egged it on, and Sander ate up every bit of it. His followers became inflamed and many chose not to vote at all. Women bought into the drama about Emails, and the "Slap Stick Labeling Trump uses" and lost their mind, and turned from respecting themselves. Casting their votes against themselves in voting for Confederate Republican.

This election exposed both the Confederate War and the Ignorance of the Population, to be so unaware and so busy chasing sound bits and drama, until they could not pay attention.

The media made matters worst, because they chased advertising dollars and directly and indirectly supported Trump with 18 monhts of Free Advertisement, for the sake of "Drama Making Headlines". The Media has no idea how to see the nature of this Civil War. They are unaware of what it is. so they again, promoted Trump, by claiming themselves to be so confounded they could not figure anything out, so now, they just Talk and Talk and Talk.... chasing rating and advertising dollars. The Right Wing Media is continually assembling its foot solders.

The Democrats and Independents Need to Wake Up and Realize the War they are Fight and LEARN how to identify its Enemy.

Republican Confederate dominate these sites trying to bury anything that tries to awaken the people, and then they try and deflect to some irrelevant point, and the Democratic people won't pick up on the commentary and push it forward.

Democrats won't even share links to try and get more democratic minded people involved in these forms.. Because the more you get involved, the more attention can be drawn to these forms to spread the message.
The News Media is so busy chasing Drama, they would never come to these sites to see the conscience of the people.
Therefore writing like this will escape the media attention it truly needs.

You no longer have to be confounded and bewildered by the nature and mentality of the Republican Right Wingers and their Confederate commentary on this site. NOW, you know what it is, what drives it and how they have conspired to push forward with their Confederate Aims.

No amount of Logic will change the mindset of the Confederacy, it was not changed by the bullet and cannon balls on the battle field 153+ yrs ago, so, here words won't change them. The change must come in Congress by the Democrats Voting and Taking Actions to Recall, and Remove The Confederate Republican from the saturation of seats they hold on Federal, State and City Governance.


I share links to posting as these, but people I share them with may or may not share them with others, and the apathy continues and the Confederates continue their march of dismantling the Union Governance of the United States. They continue to infringe upon the rights of individualism. And their war upon the containment of women has never ceased.

"See The Bigger Picture" and understand the Modern Day Confederacy..... and acknowledge what and where the battles are being fought. Then learn that diplomacy dose not work with the Confederacy. Trump showed you that, when he publicly asked for Russian to hack the Democratic system. Still the Democrats did not cath on.
Currently, they are spinning in drama, rather than put the cards on the table and File Suits Against Trump and his Regime for Treason.
Yet, Republican will file a suit against Democrats in the blink of an Eye. Confederate Republican are not going to help you convict them. You have to stand up and Charge them and Convict them, Expose them, and use the facts you have and let the courts demand they turn over records.

All this childish, " well, I asked them, but they won't turn over the papers. Well, Dummy>>> File the Suit and Charge them With Treasonous Actions.

Trumps Presidency can be invalidated by Charging Him and His Administration with Treason and File the Charge !!!! Then we get rid of all of them at once. We hold a special Election and Select A New President, when Trump is invalidate and his Administrative Cabinet, then We revert back and Joe Biden become Interim President, and we schedule a process to select new nominees and prepare for an Election Nov 2018.
