All Bets May Be Off...

I'm an old man. Retired, disabled, and a veteran. Sometimes I'm lewd, and sometimes crude, but I always speak my mind, and I suffer no douche bags. The only thing I'm sure of is that I know right from wrong and what's going on with this Trump administration is wrong. Every second this presidency and administration is allowed to continue, plunges America deeper in what may very well be an unrecoverable spiral into irrelevance. From the leader of the entire free world to a disgraceful, fascist, banana republic, which the entire world now holds in disgust and disdain, and all within 6 months of the election. We've witnessed first hand a reportedly rigged and manipulated election with untenable rumors of corruption, violence, and foreign government interference. We've also witnessed the inability of those we elected and those they appointed, to get to the bottom of it. In fact, a reasonable person would conclude they're intentionally dragging their feet, looking the other way, hoping no one would notice. Guess what? We noticed!

There is only so much Americans can tolerate. This administration was never suited for the task of running the country that was once the leader of the entire free world. And, there is no doubt we've alienated every major country in the world except one...and $10 bucks says they're playing us. Their president was KGB, ours is an ASS and no match for him, and this administration is well on it's way to alienating the majority of it's own people from the goodly amount of daily lunacy and rumors of wrong doing pouring out of the White House. Once that happens, all bets are off as to what happens next, or if America will survive as a nation. Even Las Vegas won't hold the paper on that bet.

That being said, and what is particularly troubling, is that Congress continues to prove it's only interested in self enrichment and reelection, country be damned. And they're using this Constitutional crisis as a smoke screen to continue the dismantling of middle class, it's safety nets, and the deregulation of financial institutions which continue to rip off the people, all while circle jerking Americans out of their hard earned tax dollars to pay for war and tax breaks for the rich. And don't get me started on the legal bribery and "emoluments" in the form of special interest lobby money flooding Congress.

Any way you look at it, this is not our daddy's America...well except for the religious and partisan whack jobs, and the violent, racist motherf*ckers that continue to live life abundantly from trailer park to shining trailer park, in a country that couldn't find it's own ass in the dark with two hands and a flashlight. We've been had America...

As A Veteran, I'm Loath To Say We No Longer Deserve A Country

I'm guessing it's gonna take Trump breaking the glass at the National Archives and burning the Constitution before America finally wakes up and removes this traitorous stain on America and drags him and his entire traitorous and subversive administration to Gitmo. But who's got the stones to do it? FBI? Nope...DOJ? Don't think so...Our military? Fat chance. If we don't act fast, Russian troops will be guarding the White House and rolling down the streets of our cities. 

Apparently, we really are a country of fucking sheep, so much so, I now truly believe we don't deserve a country. We elected an imbecile, a fascist, and a puppet of Russia and Putin's personal nut sack huger. If the majority of America can't see this, we have no shot, and we're already dead as a country....I'm sad to say that I'm almost glad I have cancer, because as a veteran who served his country at a time the wars were fought in jungles and rice paddies, I don't want to live to see this shit happen to my country. The country I served honorably and swore to defend against all enemies both foreign and domestic. I'm pretty sure if we don't stop Trump and his minions, it will happen and again as a veteran, I'm ashamed of what my country has become.

Wake up America...Wake up NATO...Wake up Europe...Wake up WORLD...Save the planet from this fascist stain on humanity and piece of crap government he created...Don't like what you just read?...Sorry...I have no more fucks to give and I have neither the time nor the crayons to explain it to anyone anymore...

IT'S TIME AMERICA...GROW A PAIR!

FBI must have been getting too close. Trump fires Comey. It's time for our generals to command their units to storm the white house and congress to put an end to America's nightmare. Declare Marshal Law! Invalidate the 2016 election and everything subsequent. We must have new, fair, primary and general elections that are open and in which the outcome is not manipulated. The true will of the people. Down with fascism! SAVE AMERICA!

Republicans Push Fake News At Yates Hearing

If the spectacle Republicans put on in the Yates hearing on capitol hill yesterday is indicative of how things should be done, Watergate would have been fake news, and Woodward and Bernstein would have been labeled as foreign agents intent on damaging America...or unwilling dupes manipulated by [insert foreign country], because uncovering the damage is worse than the damage....Grow a pair America...it's time...

For Profit Health Insurance Wants Your Money And Your Life...

The so called "Freedom Caucus" pushing a rewrite of the death decree of American Health Care, the AHCA, Donald Trumps idea of how health care should be administered in the greatest country on earth. His plan? Go ahead, let them die, but they gotta pay for it. The biggest winner isn't America, it's big, for profit, health insurance.

I would caution them. At this point many Americans pretty much have nothing left to lose except the empty promises of bought and paid for politicians. More than half the country thinks the election was rigged and the other half think Russia did it. So when the people see politicians in State houses and Congress working in concert with the for profit health care industry, in this case for profit health Insurance, in a relationship that can only be described as incestuous from the obscene amounts of lobby money "exchanging hands"....there is only one conclusion. We're being had.

Again, I caution you America. Health care is a right. You will fan the flames of civil war when you try to collect a bounty for our rights. The last time our government dared the people to start shooting over their rights, it wasn't pretty. Don't make health care be the spark to the next "shot heard round the world". Donald Trump's AHCA in it's present form will decimate what's left of actual health care for millions of Americans. It's a poli-corporate suckers game of money and favor much like three card Monte. Yet another nail in the coffin of the middle class to pay for tax breaks for the rich, enhanced corporate profits, and more lobby money to influence legislation to allow the industry to squeeze the last dime out of Americans while providing one step above worthless, health insurance policies. Single Payer/Medicare for All is the only remedy to break this shackle of death by deceit. We have the right to life. It says so in the Constitution. The for profit health insurance industry wants your money and your life. That's a price America is not willing to pay. to pay.

Will America and Her Allies Endure such Historic and Monumental Failure?

I'm not going to attempt to rehash the actual chain of events relative to the massacre in Benghazi. My only comment on that subject is that it was a monumental failure of the Pentagon, the White House, and the assemblage of government and private sector agencies tasked with theater operational security and keeping the lives of our embassy support staff safe.

Now on to the situation at hand. Once upon a time there were 2 private organizations that for decades upon decades, have been mustering candidates (apparently from anywhere and everywhere) for which the people will vote for the president of the most powerful country in the world. Two organizations, that both failed miserably at actually vetting the candidates they put forward for suitability of office. Now comes the juicy part. Russia, (probably along with every other Tom, Dick, and Yuri) decides to engage in "Cyber warfare" to disrupt America's elections. How did they do it? There was only one way. Russia found the weakest links in our Democracy, our government, and our system of elections. Our political parties. Make no mistake. Russia didn't act alone. We helped. We left the gates wide open for them, and in some cases, we gave them the keys to the entire house.

FBI, and US Intelligence officials have publicly stated that after reviewing the evidence, both the RNC and DNC were hacked, and they were hacked by Russian State and possibly other operatives working simultaneously to overload our media and our national communications networks with misinformation, and documents retrieved surreptitiously and maliciously, by means of wire fraud (Cyber fraud) to influence US Elections.

Apparently now, the FBI and US Intelligence officials have proof that those we intended to elect, failed us before they've even been elected. This entire cyber warfare attack by Russia and other "cyber operatives" from around the world, the hacking of servers and emails, is all the direct result of complete Internet and data security ineptness of the political parties, and/or violations of classified information handling protocols by people "digitally" connected to those servers. Think about it just for a minute. It's not the rocket science they would have you believe. While you're at it, think about the damning information that was hacked and released for public consumption. The information contained in those hacks was in my opinion, far worse than for example, the Hillary Clinton "smoke and mirrors" story of naivety, cluelessness, and Internet ineptness, FBI Director Comey related in sworn testimony before Congress.

America is in chaos, run a muck with rumors of subversion, treason, and allegations of other wrong doing by both candidates and members of their team, and facts relative to the propriety of corporate collusion with foreign states and their operatives. The ruthlessness of both political parties, and the lows to which they will stoop to get their candidates elected is untenable. And now revealed for all America and the world to see, a damaged and corrupted political process, something that should be repugnant to every American. Ironic isn't it? That those in which we put so much faith in to know better....don't.

Humanity Demands the Pen Must Remain Mightier than the Sword

America, we were outraged when we heard ISIS was destroying antiquities of eons and historic relevance. Are we not outraged that the Trump administration has set into motion the dismantling and destruction of the public archiving of the arts and humanity of America, and the means by which we the people have public access to them. The viewer driven, non-commercial laden, public broadcast systems that dot the nation, keeping people up to date on America and the world.

What's next CSPAN? The Trump administration's cutting of the funding for the arts and humanities, and the most prolific means by which they are made public and accessible, is akin to going back into the pre-cold war historic darkness. How is this not the same as ISIS? How is this not the same as Nazi's burning books in the 1930's and 40's. No!...America is, and must be better than this! We must stand against the Trump administration's systematic eradication of access, and ultimately, the ability of the public to archive America's creativity and historic relevance. We must learn the lessons of history and stand strong in defiance of the iniquitous of eras past. Humanity demands it.
