Trump Wants to Copy Putin

Trump Wants to Copy Putin

Trump increasingly tries to copy Putin’s Russia. Let’s just lay it all out there…even a bush league observer like me wrote prior to the 2016 election that Trump wanted to emulate Putin. Since then there has been a ton of evidence to support that contention. Belarus and other parts of the former Soviet Union (i.g. Hungary and, now, Poland?) want to copy Putin’s autocratic style. If re-elected,…

REPUBLICANS COWER AS TRUMP RAMPAGES OVER DEMOCRACY

REPUBLICANS COWER AS TRUMP RAMPAGES OVER DEMOCRACY

Republican leadership lacks the guts and moral fortitude to do the right thing–curtail Trump’s threatened dictatorship or find a new candidate . They 1) are cowards and are afraid of a Trump twitter storm if they cross him and 2) have long wanted a Right Wing/Fascist dictatorship in America and are willing to see if Trump can pull it off–if he does, they will do nothing to stop him. If he…

WHAT HITLER TAUGHT TRUMP

WHAT HITLER TAUGHT TRUMP

U.S. PROTESTS ARE TURNING INTO TRUMP’s REICHSTAG FIRE This is a particularly dastardly, but effective, tactic (see story below). I don’t doubt that some demonstrators are being destructive and violent. I also do not doubt that there are some outside Right Wing provocateurs causing destruction. And here are the Richmond authorities confirming that. I do not condone violence by the protesters.…

JOIN a Progressive Group of Your Choice Today! Feel Better! Strengthen the Resistance!

JOIN a Progressive Group of Your Choice Today! Feel Better! Strengthen the Resistance!

Recently, I had dinner with family and friends, one of which I had not seen since last summer (2016). Not previously prone to political discussions, I had only known her to be a moderate Democrat. However, during the recent gathering, she expressed anger, frustration and fear against the Trump administration. I have been telling people that it is understandable if you can’t march or rally or…

Does Trump Think Both Sides Were Responsible for World War II ?

Does Trump Think Both Sides Were Responsible for World War II ?

THE NEWS MEDIA NEED TO MOUNT A TRUTH CAMPAIGN This is no long just an “adversarial relationship” between President Trump and the news media. Trump has mounted an all-out assault on anyone who disagrees with him, including when he is provably wrong and especially when he is lying. INCREDIBLY, the news media has done and is doing little to respond to this assault. THE MEDIA NEEDS TO MOUNT A…

Freedom of the Press...

Freedom of the Press…

Free movie online. Almost a bygone era. One of the best films about the newspaper biz. During these new Dark Ages, it is a great reminder of why a Free Press is important, scratch, essential, ABSOLUTELY essential.

Trump Wants to 'GASLIGHT' Americans

Trump Wants to ‘GASLIGHT’ Americans

FROM  WIKIPEDIA>>> Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or members of a group, hoping to make targets question their own memory, perception, and sanity. Using persistent denial, misdirection, contradiction, and lying, it attempts to destabilize the target and de-legitimize the target’s belief. Instances may range from the denial by an…

Sessions Moves to Make News Media a PR Department for President

Sessions Moves to Make News Media a PR Department for President

Leaks to the legitimate news media are among the few tactics America currently has against the radical alt-Right Trump agenda. The people leaking (most of them) likely believe that releasing inside information is justified to counter the jerky descent (think of someone tumbling erratically down a steep bumpy cliff) into an authoritarian state never before seen in this country. The news media…

American Journalists Unite to Track Assault on Press

American Journalists Unite to Track Assault on Press

This is an important step in the right direction–and it is frightening that it has to happen. The next item on the agenda of U.S. journalists should be an all-out media campaign with a simple slogan to rebuke the “fake news” moniker that is becoming much too prevalent in the minds of some Americans.…

Trump wants to be Putin-style Dictator

Trump wants to be Putin-style Dictator

(First appeared 9/10/16) Trump likes Putin because Putin is a dictator and Trump wants to be a dictator. It is as simple as that. If Trump is elected, his infantile, sociopath personality along with his immense ignorance of how America works, coupled with his absolute naivete about the real world beyond Trump Tower will lead this country to a crisis possibly, possibly worse than anything since……

Trump to meet 2016 election hacker "guy sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds."

Trump to meet 2016 election hacker “guy sitting on their bed who weighs 400 pounds.”

Like some teenage girl with an imagined romance with a rock star, Trump apparently has yearned for a relationship with Putin even though they haven’t really met but were on the same program together but not really together although Trump did have a beauty pageant in Russia so that counts for something in Trump’s pea-sized brain that rolls around in his hollow cranium. On Friday, Trump and Putin…

What have you done, America?

What have you done, America?

What have you done, America? You took a Declaration of Independence and a U.S. Constitution and handed them over to Donald J. Trump, a crass and ignorant person who has emotional defects so aberrant as to put the well-being, and possibly the future, of the United States of America in jeopardy. Almost daily, he acts like a high-schooler pulling pranks during a Friday night drinking binge The…
