This is addressed to the handful of vile Trumpettes who lurk here. Here's how I look at it:

Trump is a mortal enemy of my country. Every day he remains in power endangers me, my wife, my children and grandchildren. He is not just incompetent and ignorant and arrogant; he is evil. I could go on at length about how deeply I despise him, but suffice it to say that I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire.

Did all of that register with you? Are my feelings crystal clear? Well, here's the kicker: since you STILL support the rancid man-child, I feel EXACTLY the same way about you.

I will oppose you and all your endeavors as long as I live. Count on it.

I've been at the level since the beginning. tRump is the symptom. The virus is his uninformed supporters, who simply are jealous of their fellow Americans who are informed. They therefore HATE us even though we had no intrinsic disgust for them.

48. the turd isn't brilliant, THAT comes from the people whispering in his ear,
Fri Sep 20, 2019, 09:07 PM
Sep 2019

Warning, another rant...

and it isn't brilliance, it is CLASSIC inferiority manifestations of those whispering to him, since their self-perceived white superiority has been rejected, much like the rejections they have faced throughout life.

Because THEY have been rejected, their goal is to destroy all who have rejected them. They want payback.

Stephen Miller is the source of a lot of this crap. I believe bad boy bannon is also still getting access.

The turd is a TOTAL loser, and has been all his life. His one talent is that he can lie repeatedly, with such conviction, his brain dead minions will believe him. They SO identify with the hatred and bigotry he projects, they can't lick his ass fast enough.

By definition, LIARS are NOT successes. They may fool others, but THEY KNOW they are utter failures.

He was a failure as a real estate tycoon. If he was successful he wouldn't have lost almost half a billion of daddy's money.

He has had to file for bankruptcy, how many, 5 or 6 times? Successful business men don't do that. Only grifters do.

He wouldn't have had to short-change and outright refuse to pay his subcontractors, except to try to prevent losing more money.

He wouldn't have had to mail order Melania from an East European communist country (a violation of his very own immigration stance), a "genius" scholar of modeling/escorting (and we all know THAT consists of, essentially, being a two bit hooker) using chain migration to bring her family here (another violation of his very own immigration stance). I would imagine a similar strategy was taken with Ivana. But I am just guessing on that one...

He wouldn't be such a bad risk for investment that American banks refused to loan to him, causing him to have to go to Russia to get funding. How big a loser is THAT?

He wouldn't be so indebted to Vladimir Putin that Pootie Poot could yank his chain in so many ways, and play him like a fiddle.

If he was a success, he wouldn't have had to HIRE actors to stand around him as he descended that tacky escalator, Melania right behind him in such a FETCHING "bra with a skirt" halter-top, trying to convince watchers that it was a spontaneous outpouring of support.

A bogus philanthropic foundation that did NOTHING but line his own pockets... If he was so successful, why did he have to resort to fraud to try to cover his massively indebted bottom line?

If he was so successful, why would he be OBSESSED with REVENGE, determined to repay every perceived slight that he ever received.

A CONFIDENT, SUCCESSFUL businessman would never be put in that position.

But that has been his position his entire life.

And these points are off the top of my head, in about a 30 minute time frame composing another of my annoying rants. Imagine what kind of argument that someone with gravitas, and information about the turd, could come up with.

All of it needs to get out there, listed, connecting all the dots. Most Americans are not idiots, but they aren't the political junkies that we are. If it was presented to them (by our democratic party leaders, for example), people would begin to see the big picture that the turd is HELL-BENT on diverting our attentions from.....

No, the turd is NOT brilliant. He is a BLOATED FLOATER, and needs to be FLUSHED.

SO. FUCKING. SAD.

Donald, YOU ARE GOING DOWN!

Atticus is not only one feed up with your bull.

I'm sick of your attitude towards your fellow countryman. Sick of how you treat those that are not cookie cutter versions of you. Sick of how you demand that everyone needs to be cookie cutter versions of you.

I'm also sick of hearing you spout off about morals when you back someone that is the total opposite of what you say your morals are. And see you put him on a pedestal as if was some kind of superhuman makes me even more sick!

This video that came out after the 2016 election sums up how I felt then and how I feel now.

And to finish this little rant, like to say to the trumpster lurkers, screw you and have a nice day!

I wish the trumpettes would ask themselves what is it exactly that you are benefitting from by supporting this man? Is it that he makes you feel like part of a great big united group who is angry that they didn’t get their share in life? But what is he really doing for you, are you better off, more secure with better wages? Do you have decent health care and retirement benefits? Are you having that infrastructure that he promised you? Do you have good cheap public transit? Do you have community centers? Do you have low cost or free day care or education? Do you have decent housing? What is Trump doing for YOU??? Not part of the top 1% THEN DON’T VOTE LIKE YOU ARE!

Of the United States of America, (not Russia, Israel, the Ukraine, etc)
AND to the republic for which it stands (which needs to be more of a democracy)
One nation (bruised and battered), under God (Good Orderly Direction)
Indivisible (a formidable group)
With liberty and justice for ALL (we will make it so!)

And I reserve the right to burn the flag in protest!

My mission is not a Christian mission. (If anything it's anti-cult 45 christian.).My mission is to use my energy, intellect, resources, fortitude, and my mind, body and spirit to repel and defeat the evil forces that have infiltrated and taken hold of my country, the USA, which is 45 and his minions, both foreign and domestic.

Atticus, I agree with you wholeheartedly and am glad you are calling them out!
They'll still troll and try to mess with us, here and everywhere, so I'll add:

Cult 45 members, beware! This includes the politicians, and the deplorables; all those who voted for him and plan to again. Your pastors, TV and radio stations, and internet sites breed fear and hatred. It worked. You should fear us because we're mad as hell! And we do hate you as we hate evil and injustice. Good will triumph over evil. We will defeat you!

I never address these people directly. I see lurking on a site that is contrary to your views, only to grab that sweet "AH HA" moment where you reveal yourself in all of your glory, as sad and pathetic, the epitome of "get a life."

What I will say to any of the lurkers is do your little MAGA dance now, and then come back and tell me how you feel if Trump gets a second term and actually pulls this one off. Maybe it won't affect you right now. Maybe it'll hurt your mama, but hey...you can cover her expenses with the windfall of cash you got from the Paul Ryan tax cuts.

TRUMP HAS TOLD FRIENDS THAT GUTTING MEDICARE COULD BE A FUN “SECOND-TERM PROJECT”
Republicans want Trump to deal with the exploding deficit by gutting the social safety net, and the president is reportedly receptive to the idea.

BY BESS LEVIN
AUGUST 22, 2019

https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2019/08/donald-trump-republicans-federal-deficit

When Donald Trump was running for president, he boldly proclaimed that he would not only balance the budget, he would eliminate the entire national debt, which at the time was approximately $19 trillion. That, of course, was about as likely to happen as Don Jr. going vegan or Ivanka publicly admitting that her father is a sick individual who needs help. Instead, President Trump has pushed the federal deficit to new heights thanks to a tax cut that did not, in fact, “pay for itself,” and a trade war that has turned out to be neither “good” nor “easy to win.”

On Wednesday, the Congressional Budget Office said that the federal deficit will reach $960 billion for the 2019 fiscal year, which ends September 30, and breach the $1 trillion mark in 2020. Previously those figures were expected to come in at $896 billion and $892 billion, respectively, but the damage from the president’s tariffs, along with a sharp falloff in revenue thanks to the 2017 tax cuts, have caused deficit projections to rise faster than expected. Incredibly, this is all happening against the backdrop of the longest economic expansion on record and the lowest jobless rate in 50 years, conditions that typically cause the budget deficit to shrink. And under the continued tutelage of Donald Trump, the New York Times reports, things are only expected to get worse:

Mr. Trump has shown little inclination to prioritize deficit reduction, and has instead considered policies that would add to the debt. The president has mused in recent days about reducing the taxes that investors pay on capital gains, a move that is estimated to add $100 billion to deficits over the next decade. He has also talked about cutting payroll taxes, which could reduce revenues by $75 billion a year for every percentage point cut in payroll tax rates.

The president also wants to make permanent many of the temporary individual tax cuts contained in the 2017 law, which are scheduled to expire in 2025. The budget office forecast assumes those cuts expire and tax revenues rise; if they do not, future deficit projections would be even larger.
