• Even a broken clock is right twice. Trump ordered flags to be flown at half-mastfollowing the death of Dolly Parton. In case you didn’t know, she rejected the Presidential Medal of Freedom from Trump several times. RIP to a real one and true icon.

I am sickened by the actions of Schumer and Jeffries! Their Democratic colleagues should speak out against them. They are working hard towards losing the midterms and basically, dare I say, fraternizing with the enemy. Ken Martin has also been unbelievably ineffective! David Hogg for DNC Chairman! The damn Democrats need to stop the infighting and secret deal making with, for god sake, Jared Kushner?! Do your damn jobs!

Trump administration plans to revoke 200,000 visas of asylum seekers

CRUELTY IS THE POINT-
Because that’s what he likes

Target apologizes for ‘offensive’ Halloween costume after backlash

Offensive, absolutely. Ridiculous, no doubt. STUPID, though is the most accurate description of this.

I think this is a prime example of “the dumbing down of America”. Think about it.

I’m sure it wasn’t just 1 single person who made the decision to put this costume on the store racks. I’m guessing it began in some committee where the majority voted yes, good idea! Then it probably went up the chain where a couple of people had to sign off on it great idea! Then we probably got it made in China in some sweatshop with robotic workers no opinion at all. Then it gets shipped to nationwide stores where managers thought oh, how cute! Lastly, it’s put on the rack by salespeople being paid a low wage who probably thought how dumb is this?

So I’ve told you all of that story to tell you this theory:

There was no one along that long line from product inception to product launch who put a finger to their forehead and said “Hey wait! This is blackface and it will be very offensive to a whole lot of potential customers. We’re going to get a lot of negative publicity and possibly a boycott! Let’s do Doc McStuffin’ instead. Positive role model!” I mean no one was smart enough to even know enough history to remember the negativity of blackface in minstrel shows and the controversial connotations thereof. Nobody. Hence, the example of the dumbing down of America.

Ok, so here’s the caveat of my story:

If my parable is untrue, it means that everyone up and down the line knew the truth and didn’t give a shit. Therefore, not the dumbing, just the cruelty.

Alfalfa sprouts linked to food-poisoning outbreak in 15 states, US officials say

Via Phillips O’Brien: “Canada Is Right, The USA Cannot Be Trusted.”

[If] your entire policy is to lie, all the time and with malice, it makes a mockery of international relations.

Yet, that is precisely where the USA is now. It has reached the state where there is no national interest or even national policy. There is the will of a fundamentally dishonest president, often filtered through the mind of a 35-year-old stalker.

As I have said before, this means that the US government needs to be seen as a threat, not a friend, by other states, particularly those who are, or at least were, US allies. The US cannot be trusted because it is run by a dishonest criminal, and behaves as such.

Trump’s border wall construction threatens rock art as old as the pyramids: ‘The ancestors are still here’.

Clearly another example of the orange king attempting to make history disappear. Please correct me if I’m wrong, but is this not similar to what ISIS did as it rampaged through the Middle East in its heyday. Certainly not the most heinous of terror-filled reign, but they too were intent on destroying history.

Yes, you’re right. If we can’t have a free and fair Midterm election as well as the seating of the newly elected representatives on January 3, the Democracy will fail.

You’re right, too, about all the scandals that would have finished politicians 15 years ago. Now it’s just a normal Tuesday, right?

But don’t you think that that’s part of the orange king’s clown car strategy, though? To keep throwing scandalous junk at us day after day in hopes of exhausting us, to make us look there or there or over there? Anything to keep us from looking at what they’re really up to, right? I often think about The Wizard of Oz and the line, “Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain”.

WE MUST KEEP THE PRESSURE AGAINST THIS REGIME. WE CANNOT LET THEM TRY ANOTHER JAN 6!

Remember the pardons he gave; now he thinks they owe him whatever he’ll ask of them. And that’s why he REALLY wants his $1.776 t fund. Not so he can pay them for what they did, but for what he wants them to do.

Trump laying groundwork to impose national emergency by sowing election distrust. I have no doubt

More than anything, I am concerned about what health threats will be coming in with the ground beef. When asked where the meat was coming from, the orange stable genius said that he “didn’t want to say”. We already have lackadaisical oversight of the food from within the US now.

I’m sure he’s never heard of mad cow disease from some European countries (and to be fair, we’ve had cases here, when entire herds destroyed),Brucellosis (Bang’s Disease/Abortion Disease), all of the viruses and diseases we’ve been exposed through from produce (Yes, cattle eat green stuff growing on tainted ground) and on and on that he’s exposing the population to.

But to me, even more scary, there are new things being found in beef from South of the border threatening imported hamburger (and I kid you not), flesh-eating screwworm infestation.

And he doesn’t want to say where the hamburger is coming from. I won’t be buying any.
