President Elect Trump

Grinning Orange Jesus and convicted felon Trump has managed to walk on water and has made it to the other side powered on by the help of his followers and the “hot air” promises” that he made.

Here are some of those promises:

His first order as President on Day 1 would be “to begin the largest deportation operation in America history.”

How he plans to do that is all up in the air as America is a democracy and not a dictatorship, but hey who cares right?!!

On the very same day, he will “terminate every single open border policy of the Biden-Harris administration, and we will seal the border.”

It didn’t work the first time he tried that by banning people coming in from Muslim countries, because of legal and human rights issues so why should it now? Just lots more hot air and big talk from the grinning MAGA giant and now, President Elect.

“We will end inflation and make America affordable again.”

No specifics as to how he plans to do that and since inflation has been down, the man knows not what he is talking about!

“I will revoke China’s most favored nation status.”

Hmm….another “no go” zone not without repercussions anyway. Just more “hot air” from an aging and not all there man of the hour!

“I will not cut one penny from Social Security or Medicare.”

This promise has no plan backing it so no plan and no action equates to cutting benefits!

Just some of Trump’s empty promises made to impress and to bag the presidency and unbelievably “people” bought into it. Just goes to show intelligence is not based on IQ, not the dumb kind anyway. Truth and integrity doesn’t always win out BUT rage, revenge and ME! ME! ME! sure DOES!

GO FIGURE!

Third Reich Rising?

Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally was a carnival of sorts but not of the harmless or fun variety. Orange Jesus and his allies took it upon themselves to show the world who they really are and what they stand for and if Trump is re-elected again what we all stand to lose.

Everything will be put on the line including democracy, the right to a life free of racial divisions, hatred and a better life for everyone and not just a select few.

With just a week to go before Election Day, the man who is not fit for the highest job in the land had his henchmen put on a show that was not only an eye-opener but it made everyone sit up and take notice except for his supporters and crowd pleasers of course. “Heil, Hitler!” comes to mind and not in a good way.

Free speech is one thing but hate speech a whole different ball game. This one should have made you shudder! His high-profile allies who were there to impress with their hatred of everyone who don’t conform to their idea of what a Trump presidency should look like had much to say but instead of impressing, they showed who they really are.

Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who goes by Kill Tony had this to say in a nutshell.

“There’s a lot going on. Like I don’t know if you know this, but there’s literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico.”

Not funny Hinchcliffe and you just proved that you are not a comedian at all! Tucker Carlson, former Fox News host, and lover of all things Trump mocked Harris’s racial identity and Sid Rosenberg called the Democrats, “A bunch of degenerates!” I guess he should know as he is currently swimming with the best of them! Another speaker called Harris, “the devil” and “the antichrist.” Hate seemed to be the theme of this rally as Nazi rhetoric took front and center.

Trump for all his “I don’t know how to put a muzzle on my mouth” persona went on to warn that his political rivals are the “enemy from within,” and added the press were the “enemy of the people.” A line he has repeatedly used in recent weeks to invoke fear, division and hatred. Orange Jesus or should I say, Hitler’s darling is not averse to using the military to quell protests from his critics as he had warned and not too succinctly either. The man is a fascist no less.

Trump has no plan, nothing concrete to speak of whatsoever but he sure knows how to blow a smokescreen when he needs to. The question is, how can someone who has no clue about what is going on, who is pro-violence, pro-hate, pro-Nazis and full of himself not to mention someone who can’t even finish a sentence let alone make sense of what he is talking about be nose-to-nose in the polls” It boggles the mind but these days nothing seems to be out of the ordinary as far as this election is concerned.

I’m sure Hitler, “the devil” incarnate was smiling up and winking, “Well done boys!”

You know what to do America. LET’S DO THIS!

Grandpa Can’t Dance!

At a town hall meeting in Oaks, Pennsylvania, on Monday, Donald J. Trump decided to cut it short, said to hell with the questions and decided spontaneously to do it the Trump way. He asked his supporters to stay calm and to listen to some of his favorite songs from a rally playlist.

During that meeting, Orange Jesus decided that it would be safer for him not to answer any more questions because the man has no plan only a concept of a plan. So after two medical emergencies which caused interruptions, Grandpa Trump decided to turn it into a “music fest.” He wanted to show everyone there that he was a fun-loving guy and tried to boogie with the best of them but unfortunately the dance moves looked a little constipated and he came off looking like the fool that he is.

His favorite song seemed to be the Village People’s “Y.M.C.A,” as his tan gone wrong face broke into a smile and he did a couple of hand movements as he jived along. It was only 30 minutes into the meeting when the former President decided to make a detour, one of no significance BUT for the time spent answering five questions in total and aiming attacks against VP Kamala Harris. There was no getting him back to the question and answer session because he had decided he wanted a dance party and Orange Jesus always gets what he wants and if doesn’t he would instigate a riot to get it.

After the two medical emergencies, he said, “Let’s not do any more questions. Let’s just listen to music. Let’s make it into a music…..Who the hell wants to hear questions, right? ” Perhaps the unprecedented move suggested that he had everything in the bag and he was now looking at a clear win and an untethered path to the White House and questions were an absolute waste of time as far as he was concerned.

There were several songs played that night but “YMCA” made the man grin. I think the recurrent theme of “Young man” in the song made him feel young again. Biden is out of the race now so that makes Trump the oldest Presidential Nominee in U.S. history. Trump’s septuagenarian status does come into play, dance party or not!

The town hall meeting was bizarre to say the least but more than that, “not quite all there” comes to mind. If you ask me, the man is not only off his rocker but he belongs in it!

There is over three weeks to go until Election Day 2024. Let’s hope Orange Jesus never makes it to the White House again, ruse or not. Fingers and toes crossed!

Reality vs. Make-Believe

According to CNN, “Trump’s lying is most exceptional in its relentlessness, a never-ending avalanche of wrongness that can bury even the most devoted fact-checkers.” They went on to add, “He has found his hits, and he’ll keep playing them no matter how many times they are debunked.”

There seems to be no end to the lies and misinformation coming from the man who wants to be the next President of these United States. Does he care? Not one iota! Furthermore, if you thought Orange Jesus was full of hot air, you’re not wrong there either.

Here are some of his most recent lies coming from his hyped-up imaginary world. These are just some examples of why the man should never set foot in the White House again.

“Americans can’t venture out to buy a loaf of bread without getting shot, mugged or raped.”

“Immigrants are eating cats and dogs.”

“World War III is around the corner.”

“The world is a dark place under the Biden-Harris administration.”

“The insurrectionists were peaceful people.”

Let’s add his obsession about crowd size to the lies above and you know why his imagination knows no bounds where he is concerned. He boasted that at his January 6th speech, the one where he instigated his supporters to storm the Capitol, was much bigger than at Martin Luther King’s iconic, “I Have a Dream,” speech in 1963.

His other obsession seems to be with his private parts. “Look at my hands, are they small hands?” he once asked. Then he added, “I guarantee you there’s no problem.” Hmm….Let’s ask Stormy Daniels, the lady in the know. This is what she had to say. She describes it as, “smaller than average,” but “not freakishly small.” Another myth debunked!

The problem is Trump lets his imagination take him to places where it should not go, basically to no man’s land. His false claims, lies and misinformation is fooling no one but he keeps them coming and each time a new one is debunked, more crop up as if on cue.

Personal attacks and hitting below the belt is another one of his favorite past times. The man can come up with some doozies at the drop of a coin and if you have so much as an ounce of intelligence, you know that none of it is the truth but coming from the mouth of a future wannabe president it is astounding not to mention frightening. If only he would spend all that wasted energy on something that makes more sense like a well thought-out plan but no chance there because he has none, none that makes sense anyway!

His recent attack on Kamala Harris, his arch rival is mind-blowing. He called her, “mentally impaired” and that she should be impeached and prosecuted. At a rally in Pennsylvania, he said, “Sad. But lying Kamala Harris was born that way.” Excuse me? What way?

“There’s something wrong with Kamala. And I just don’t know what it is but there is definitely something missing.”

Hmm…maybe it’s your stupidity that’s missing. Furthermore, her slate is clean while yours definitely is not. Just your legal problems alone are enough to sink your boat! According to Trump, the smart and intelligent lady is, “stupid,” “dumb as a rock” and add to that not sure if she’s Indian or Black and you’ve got the whole gamut of his argument as to why she should not be the next President of the United States.

Now, if you look at Trump’s false claims, lies, misinformation and legal problems, you know exactly why Orange Jesus should not have his finger on the nuclear button ever again, let alone run the country!

One flew over the cuckoo’s nest? Orange Jesus is an outstanding example if nothing else.

The Company You Keep

“When the character of a man is not clear to you, look at his friends.” Japanese Proverb

Donald J. Trump loves the strong men type, more specifically the dictator types and that is a well-known fact. The man who once called Neo-Nazis and the like “fine people on both sides,” is not shy about his approval for autocratic dictators.

However, his latest obsession with Laura Loomer, hard-right conspiracy theorist and travel buddy has definitely raised more than a few eyebrows.

The 31-year-old who is known for her anti-Muslim rhetoric and for spreading conspiracy theories one of which is that illegal immigrants from Haiti are eating domestic pets in a small Ohio city which has caused quite a stir. This baseless claim was later regurgitated by Trump on the debate stage between him and Harris.

If that wasn’t enough, Ms. Loomer took it upon herself to come out of the closet as far as her “racist” self is concerned. How better to do it than to bring race into the playbook and she is no novice as far as that is concerned. This time, she went gunning for Kamala Harris by posting, “The White House will smell like curry and White House speeches will be facilitated via a call centre” if she wins the November presidential election. Typical racist insult which comes from the underbelly of racist propaganda. Instead of shutting it down, Trump had this to say:

“I don’t control Laura. She’s a free spirit. She’s strong and has strong opinions, but that’s not up to me.” There’s that word again. “Strong” seems to get his attention if you know what I mean. It also seems to get his juices flowing and he refuses to cut ties with her.

Laura Loomer is an outspoken advocate of all things racist. This far-right activist and provocateur is known for pushing the boundaries of what is not acceptable and her views are rooted in extreme idealogy and conspiracy theories.

According to Loomer, 9/11 was an “inside job.” She calls herself a “proud Islamophobe.” She has posted derogatory comments about Muslim immigrants and stoked the fires of fear and division. She has been banned from major social media platforms including Twitter (X), Facebook and Instagram because of hate speech and inflammatory propaganda. However, Elon Musk has reinstated her account which says a lot doesn’t it?

COVID-19, according to Loomer, was a “scam,” and that it was aligned with broader government controls. There’s plenty more of such rhetoric but you get the picture.

If you want to know the true character of a man, watch who he praises and keeps company with and it will take you to the heart of the matter. Trump is a wanna be dictator and rubbing shoulders with similar people who do the “speaking” for him is his agenda. If you want to know the true character of the man, look no further than the company he keeps!

The Wannabe Dictator

Whatever Trump is, his love of dictators is plain to see. The wannabe dictator has no qualms about making that fact clear. Crystal clear that is.

In an exchange with long time friend and buddy, Fox News host Sean Hannity, Trump had this to say when asked about his ‘dictator’ comment. Instead of toning down the rhetoric, the former Commander in Chief let loose, Trump style.

“We love this guy,” Trump said of Hannity. He says, ‘You’re not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said, ‘No, no, no, other than day one. We’re closing the border, and we’re drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I’m not a dictator.” That was in 2023.

Fast forward to 2024 and Mr. Trump was asked again during his Time magazine interview. Same question but this time around he replied, “A lot of people like it.” He got a swift rebuke from the Biden-Harris camp. Spokesperson James Singer had this to say.

“In his own words, he is promising to rule as a dictator on ‘day one,’ use the military against the American people, punish those who stand against him, condone violence done on his behalf and put his own revenge and retribution ahead of what is best for America. Bottom line: Trump is a danger to the Constitution and a threat to our democracy.”

Mr. Trump’s enthusiasm for autocrats is a well-known fact.

President Xi, according to Trump is “strong like granite and he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron hand.” Putin is a “genius” for taking over a country by just walking in. He was talking about the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He praised Saddam Hussein for being good at killing terrorists and Kim Jong Un as a terrific person simply because Kim wrote him beautiful letters and they fell in love! Let’s not forget the evil one. I mean Hitler. Trump has great admiration for the man who orchestrated the worst genocide in modern history. His regime killed 6 million Jewish people and eradicated the lives of hundreds of thousands of people with disabilities. According to one of Trump’s former chiefs of staff, he wanted to emulate Hitler’s leadership methods during his time in the White House.

Fawning over dictators is his mantra. Why? Perhaps because he wants total control of the United States. Remember him telling voters, that they would never need to vote again if he returns to the presidency in November? In his own words, he said, ” You have to vote. After that you don’t have to worry about voting any more. I don’t care because we’re going to fix it, the country will be fixed.”

Scary? Absolutely! Delusional? No doubt about it! Crazy? A straitjacket comes to mind but I won’t touch that one. Dangerous? There are no ifs or ands or buts about it!

Joyful Warriors vs. The Weird Duo

Photo by cottonbro studio on Pexels.com

Kamala Harris and her running mate, Tim Walz say they are, “Joyful Warriors,” compared to Trump and his running mate, J.D. Vance whose campaign smirks of loom, doom and gloom.

According to Harris, they are looking at a future filled with optimism unlike Trump who she accused of being stuck in the past and preferring a confrontational style of politics and folks that is putting it mildly! Furthermore, she added that, “Someone who suggests we should terminate the Constitution of the United States should never again have the chance to sit behind the seal of the United States.”

Tim Walz is upbeat, energetic and has a perpetual smile plastered on his face and he is the symbol of joy itself. Add Kamala’s raucous laughter and her message of unity, community and working together and you’ve got a winning ticket. Walz coined the term, “weird” to describe Vance and it has taken hold in more ways than one. He also had some choice words to say about Trump saying the former president “mocks our laws, he sows chaos and division amongst the people and that’s to say nothing of the job he did as president.” A takedown like no other!

The two waltzed their way through the swing states, with glee, with humor and a positive message. Walz bowed, he waved, he grinned, he laughed and if he could have, he would have danced the night away. When it came to his turn to speak, he turned to Harris and said, “Thank you, Madam Vice-President, for the trust you put in me but maybe more so, thank you for bringing back the joy.” A breath of fresh air no less!

Donald Trump was looking at a sure second win just weeks ago but when Biden ended his bid for re-election, and handed the reins to his VP, the Democrats were back in command again. Harris nailed it when she asked this question. “Do we want to live in a country of freedom, of compassion, of rule of law? Or a country of chaos, fear and hate?” This was followed by the cry, “We’re not going back.” That was the nail in the coffin. Shawn Fain, president of the United Automobile Workers said, Americans are faced with “which side are you on’ moment” and he went on to say, he was siding with the “badass woman who stood with us on the picket line.”

Badass, she definitely is. More than that, if elected she would be the first female president and don’t let that loud, raucous laughter fool you. She raised $36 million in the first 24 hours after naming Walz as her running mate and that is a record haul. Just as her no-nonsense reply to her protesters, “If you want Donald Trump to win, then say that. Otherwise, I’m speaking.” Trump, on the other hand, was experimenting with more nicknames saying, “We’re going to evict crazy Kamala.” Harris is a giant compared to petty, name-calling, size mongering, temper-tantrum throwing Trump. If all he has to offer is just insults and who can hit better below the belt then the man doesn’t stand a chance!

Kamala Harris, The Truths We Hold: An American Journey

“My daily challenge to myself is to be part of the solution, to be a joyful warrior in the battle to come. My challenge to you is to join that effort. To stand up for our ideals and our values. Let’s not throw up our hands when it’s time to roll up our sleeves. Not now. Not tomorrow. Not ever.

Years from now, our children and our grandchildren will look up and lock eyes with us. They will ask us where we were when the stakes were so high. They will ask us what it was like. I don’t want us to just tell them how we felt. I want us to tell them what we did.”

Insults Galore

Biden has dropped out and he has endorsed his VP Kamala Harris to run in his place. The Clintons have endorsed her saying that, “America’s future depends on it.” Former President Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama have also endorsed her saying, “Michelle and I couldn’t be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office.” Those are nice words compared to what is coming out of the Republican camp.

It is a gloves off and let’s roll in the mud mentality combined with an all out assault. Nothing new here but is Trump running scared? Looks like it, doesn’t it? “She’s the same as Biden but much more radical. She’s a radical left person and this country doesn’t want a radical left person to destroy it.” The former President went on to add, “If she becomes president, Kamala Harria will make the invasion exponentially worse, and just like she did with San Francisco, just like she did with the border, our whole country will be permanently destroyed.” Can he go any lower? Oh yes, he can! “I call her Laffin’ Kamala. You ever watch her laugh? She’s crazy. You can tell a lot by a laugh. She’s crazy. She’s nuts.” Hmm…..takes one to know one uh? I guess her laugh is better than your constipated orange laugh which makes you look like a turtle at times!

Rightwing podcaster, Megyn Kelly threw this out. “She actually did sleep her way into and upwards in California politics and most women (and men) may learn that and see it for what it is: evidence of an unqualified political aspirant getting ahead based on smthy other than merit.” Really Megyn? You do have a smug way about you but your comment or rather insult just goes to show how low on the totem pole you can go. Perhaps that’s why you’re doing a podcast and nothing more.

Harris is smart. She is the first Black woman to be elected District Attorney, the first woman to be California’s attorney general, the first Indian American senator and the first Asian American VP. She is a trailblazer and a prosecutor to boot. She also has a degree in political science and economics and the lady has chutzpah and if that’s not enough, she is all of 59-years-old. She could and would run circles around the former 78-year-old president. He wouldn’t know what hit him except that he got trounced and to the bone.

If you’re wondering about the insults, the hot, heavy and nasty ones, it’s because as Socrates said, “When the debate is lost, insults become the loser’s tools.” It will be Trump’s turn to feel the heat as he faces off with Harris on that debate stage knowing full-well that nothing, not insults galore, not steroids or whatever he is on will be enough to put her in her place and I guarantee he’ll be shaking in his boots or whatever he is wearing. Laffen’ Kamala will be a formidable opponent and that folks is the honest truth.

Trump’s Legal Woes

Photo by KATRIN BOLOVTSOVA on Pexels.com

According to David A. Graham of The Atlantic, “merely keeping track of the many cases against Donald Trump requires a great deal of attention, or both.” I say it’s going to take all of that and more to keep an eye on the 91 felony counts spread out across two state courts and two different federal districts that Mr. Trump is facing not to mention the civil lawsuits.

The 77-year-old is the first former president in US history to be criminally charged and that hasn’t been held against him so far. He seems to be doing fine and well as he makes his way to meet up with Joe Biden in November.

Let’s look at four of the upcoming cases that could spell trouble for Mr. Trump.

A payment of $130,000 was made to adult film actress Stormy Daniels to keep the affair quiet, hush money so to speak. Trump, however, is denying he even had sex with her but I guess that’s what cheaters do. That aside, the former president is accused of falsifying his business records and saying that the expense was for legal fees. He’s facing a whopping 34 counts of fraud under campaign finance laws.

Trial is scheduled for 15 April.

Next in line is Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s case on whether Trump illegally conspired to overturn his 2020 election defeat to Joe Biden. We know he did but that’s besides the point. He’s been charged with four criminal counts which includes conspiracy to defraud the US and conspiracy against the rights of citizens.

Trial has been postponed until the Supreme Court decides if a former president should be prosecuted like any other citizen. Justices will hear the case on 25 April and make a decision by June. I think this one will be in his favor.

The next one is a huge racketeering investigation led by none other than Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis and she had this to say about the upcoming trial. “I do think that there are efforts to slow down this train, but the train is coming.” Trump and 18 other defendants are accused of conspiring to overturn his narrow defeat in the State of Georgia 2020 election.

Trial is set to take place at the beginning of August but a date has not been set yet.

The Mar-a-Lago documents case is next. It focuses on whether Mr Trump mishandled classified documents by moving documents from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago residence. Most of the counts are for the willful retention of national defence information, which incidentally falls under the Espionage Act.

Prosecutors want the trial to start in July but Trump and his lawyers want to put it off till after the presidential election.

There you have it. The former president and the current Republican nominee is facing an explosive amount of legal battles that could derail his run for the presidency, however, as I have said before “Orange Jesus” is like a cat with nine lives. If you ask me, he’s going to walk away with a light tap on his fingers, a cat that swallowed the cream smile plastered on his orange face and a HUGE click of his heels as he goes on his merry way only to create more havoc in the near future.

Trump’s Plus or Minus Problems

Trump is no Einstein and neither is he as smart as he claims to be. Here are some of his most ignorant statements which proves that a genius he is NOT! He can’t even complete a full and coherent sentence let alone get his facts straight.

“If Trump goes to prison, it will be his first complete sentence.” Unknown

Let’s look at some of his quotes which shines the “stupid” spotlight on him.

“You know what uranium is, right? It’s this thing called nuclear weapons, and other things, like lots of things are done with uranium, including bad things.”

This is supposed to have come from a coherent mind, let alone an intelligent one?

“….I think, I think it would be, I think it would be very very, I thing we’d have a very very solid, we would continue what we’re doing, and we have other things on our plate.”

Huh?!! This was his answer when asked about his plan for the next 4 years. August 27, 2020

“We had 15 coronavirus cases. Within a couple of days, it’s going to be down to close to zero. One day, it’s like a miracle. It will disappear.”

Oops! It didn’t.

“When somebody is the president of the United States, the authority is total. And that’s the way it’s got to be.”

He played that card to the hilt, didn’t he?

“I see the disinfectant that knocks it out in a minute, one minute. And is there a way we can do something like that by injection inside or almost a cleaning? As you can see, it gets in the lungs, it does a tremendous number on the lungs so it would be interesting to check that.”

NO WORDS! This was his idea of finding a cure for COVID.

“North Korean leader Kim Jong Un just stated that the Nuclear Button is on his desk at all times. Will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that I too have a Nuclear Button, but it is a much bigger and more powerful one than his, and my Button works!”

His idea of foreign policy at its best. Who has got a bigger you know what!

Unfortunately, we can’t put it down to alcohol because he claims he doesn’t drink. The man must be drinking something to turn his skin orange and for all that nonsense to come out of his mouth. Orange Jesus claims to have a large you know what. His exact words were,

“And, he referred to my hands– ‘if they’re small, something else must be small.’ I guarantee you there’s no problem. I guarantee.”

Well, along came Stormy Daniels who shot down that theory. She described his significant body part as “smaller than average” but “not freakishly small.” So there you go, he loves to boast about his wealth, his intelligence, his “I can do one better than the other man,” and toots his “body parts” but the truth is something else. It is like his bloated sense of self-importance and of all things Trump. It is HUGE but in reality, a tinier version of himself.

The problem is he is on his way again and getting closer to having his finger on that BUTTON and in the hands of an unstable genius, it is a dangerous thing indeed. Who cares about size, just saying. There are bigger things to worry about where this man is concerned. And it is this folks.

“If I don’t get elected, it’s going to be a bloodbath…It’s going to be a bloodbath for the country,” if he loses the November election that is. He further added, “If this election isn’t won, I’m not sure that you’ll ever have another election in this country.”

The warning is loud and clear isn’t it?
