How to be Nice to Trump Supporters

I don't know why I titled this blog post as I did.

I am quite incapable of being nice to Trump Supporters.

But I find using factual evidence is sure to drive them right up their unbuilt wall.

I try to be nice to people, although it is sometimes a struggle for me.  I guess I'm not a people person.  I prefer the company of a good book or good friends.  I will strike up conversations with complete strangers in clubs and bars, but that is not indicative of my warm and friendly personality, that is a manifestation of alcohol and good music.

Regardless, I digress.

I have a few relatives who are die hard Trump supporters, despite all the evidence to the contrary that this president is a gigantic fool, full of absolute crap.

Dealing with their ridiculous posts on Facebook is easy for me.  I look for the nicest language to flat out expose them for the ignorant fools that they are.  I try to make my statement impossible to contradict.  I stand my ground in their outrage and just keep giving back answers that can't be argued.

I simply do not show these people any respect for they are unworthy of respect.  This is the best way to get to a Trump supporter.  Absolute disrespect for their views. 

But do it nicely.  Do it with intelligent, fact-based evidence.  No name calling, please.  It is, after all, quite unnecessary, given all the honest material we have to work with. 

Note:  I cannot help calling some Trump supporters Redneck Racists.  That is not name calling.  That is telling it like it is.

Donald Trump Wants To Make Nice

Donald Trump is feeling very depressed because he is so disrespected in the media (and the world).  The current climate in the west wing is one of fear and loathing......and incredible stress to see what the unhinged and deeply conflicted president will do next.

I tried to call the White House today to say nice things to the president (only because I'm terrified that he has the nuclear codes), but I couldn't connect with him.  So I thought I'd write this letter and tell our president nice things.

Dear President Trump:

Your kid, Baron, seems nice.  He doesn't say much.  Looks like he's accustomed to being ignored by you in public, but he does seem nice in his pictures.  Anyhow -  none of your kids have behaved like the Menendez brothers, so there's that.

You don't throw umbrellas that have difficult mechanisms.  That's a little nice.

Your wife's wardrobe is EXTREMELY nice.  Except when it's extraordinarily derogatory.

It was nice of you not to murder your hair plug guy.

You aren't a foodie, and it's really nice how you've managed to project that image with your portly porcine posture.

Your shoes are nicely polished.

Your Chinese made ties do an adequate job of covering your mushroom when you're sitting with your legs spread apart like a Sumo wrestler.

You have never told Nancy Pelosi to blow you in public.  That is very nice and must have taken tremendous restraint on your part.

You have yet to start wearing a jewel encrusted, gold crown in the oval office, and that is very, very nice of you.

You are extremely nice to oil companies and other major polluters of our land, air and water.

Oh yeah, who can forget how nice you are to billionaires with your massive tax cuts.  They think you're really quite nice.

Putin thinks you're the best and nicest rube he's ever come across, and Putin is no dummy - so there's that.

I could go on and on, but I'd rather spend my time telling you all the bazillion ways you're a total a$$hole.  I'll save it for later.

Nicely,


Nicey Nice Me.

A Tale of Two Jews

The Sunday New York Times carried two stories about Jewish people.

The first was regarding Selma Engel, one of the only survivors of the Sobiber Nazi Death Camp in Eastern Poland.  She was one of the few who gave witness to this place of horror and death, as the Nazi's destroyed it as the allies approached.  It is being painstakingly uncovered today by archaeologists.  Sobiber was strictly a death camp and Engel was only saved because she, and another clothes sorter, managed to escape.  Her story is one of courage and betrayal by the Dutch people of her homeland.  Mrs. Engel relocated to the United States, where she died at 96 years of age.  Queen Beatrix knighted her and the Dutch minister of health care issued a formal apology.  Mrs. Engel was honored to receive the knighthood, but she refused to accept the apology.  No apology should ever be accepted by any survivor of the horrors of the Nazi regime.

This story was on Page 26 of Section 1 of the New York Times.

On Page 1 of the Times, there is a story about Jared Kushner and his endearing (?) friendship with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman or MBS, or My Bone Saw?

Trump's son-in-law in a bromance with MBS under the pretext of forging a Middle East Peace Agreement.  When you're played, you're played.  Kushner is an epic failure as a statesman and as a Jew.

First of all, the Saudis begin indoctrinating hatred for Jews and the West in their children almost as soon as those toddlers can speak.  There is nothing honorable about the Saudi Arabian regime, the royal family or Mohammed bin Salman.  These are murderous criminals who don't eat pork because they are pigs themselves and can't afford to be seen as cannibals, as they're already seen as every other type of base human being.

The Kushner and the Trump families are totally owned by this regime because of money.  All this posturing about being friends and forging peace is a smoke screen to cover how indebted the two big New York real estate families are to the Saudis.

My biggest question would have to be, why would ANYONE IN THEIR RIGHT F*CKING MIND run for president with all these bones (and saws) in the closet?   The answer to my own question is that Donald Trump truly believes he could flummox the entire world, based on his success ripping off contractors on his projects and stealing money from investors.

What a small and inept f*cking mind Donald Trump possesses.  And in the Kushner family tradition, little Jared will be doing some jail time, just like Daddy.

These people have basically screwed the world up one side and down the other.  It's time for America to stand up, take back its country and punish those who aided and abetted this public rape of democracy.  The Mitch McConnells.  The Paul Ryans.  The Leslie Grahams.  The John Kennedys.  These people all need to crawl back into the disgusting holes they crawled out from.  We know who they are.  The question is, what are we, as a nation, going to do about them?

We Can All Go Home Now

As Mueller homes in on the conspirator sitting in the oval office, Trump the Traitor tells us he's been exonerated of all wrongdoing and is completely in the clear.

This man ACTUALLY believes his own bull$hit.  What a pathetic excuse for a human being.

Things he doesn't understand:

1.  Anything to do with the U.S. Constitution.

2.  The majority of people didn't vote for him, find him appallingly ignorant, and can't wait for his demise.

3.  The pitfalls of being a petty little dick.

4.  America does not have a King.

5.  He has no credibility with overall public opinion.  His fan base is a group of similarly unintelligent, racist blowhards.

6.  He will be unable to pardon anyone if he is removed from office, which he probably will be.

7.  Putin played him like a B*tch.

8.  He is obese, unattractive and his hair looks as if someone went potty on his head.  What is that color?  Russian PeePee Blonde?

9.  He raised his children to disregard the laws of this country, and they will be punished right alongside him.

10.  Robert Mueller will go down in history as the greatest defender of democracy the world has ever been privileged enough to see.

Meanwhile, he continues to fire people who disagree with him, and had the stunning audacity to call Rex Tillerson as dumb as a rock.  He can't find a single ally in his own White House.  He's recycling the attorney general from three administrations ago on the scant chance the guy might shut down the Mueller investigation.  He appoints people from the Fox Propaganda Network to cabinet positions they are woefully unfit to hold.  Well, that actually does make sense, since Trump the Traitor is, himself, unfit to hold office.  He's unfit to hold the office door. 

He is bankrupting the country and is telling people it doesn't matter to him because he'll be long gone by the time the interest payments are due.  He is morally, financially and intelligently nothing more than an utter moron, who thought the office of the presidency would give him untold feeding gluttony at the public trough of taxpayer dollars.  No one is surprised that he's going to be publicly humiliated and likely sent to prison except him. 

But like I said, he's no genius.   They don't come this stupid often, but the stupid are always brought down.  By their own stupidity.

And his arrogance is as fat and as ugly as his stinking a$$.

Why I Cannot Stomach Lindsay Graham

This Senator from one of the Carolinas (and it doesn't matter which one, they're both relatively backwoods, deep south, republican radicalized, extremely racist states) really makes me nauseous.  North Carolina brought us Jesse Helms - an absolute horror of a statesman and a man.  I believe it is South Carolina who brings us this sycophant.

His most disgusting behavior was defending the new Supreme Court Justice, Brett Kavanaugh.  It  was such a display of pompous arrogance, my hands itched to get through the television screen and slap his stupid face until his eyes popped out.  Only a truly ignorant group of men and women would find Brett Kavanaugh's behavior, both before, during and after the senate confirmation hearings, anything remotely resembling acceptable. 

But we do know that these right wing senators and congressmen want to stack the courts in their own religious favor.  They do so blatantly and without intelligence.  Their agenda is misogynistic, racist, and imposed at every turn.

Yesterday, Mr. Graham (I won't give him the honor of calling him Senator - because he simply doesn't deserve it and should never have been awarded it), came up appalled about the Saudi Crown Prince's involvement in a Washington Post reporter's murder inside the Saudi Embassy in Istanbul.  Oh watch Mr. Graham take a stand.  Could it be that Mr. Graham is taking a stand because Robert Mueller is honing in on the despicable one sitting in the oval office?  Mr. Graham seems to be a double edged butter knife, always slathering on the side that will most benefit his sorry, burnt toast a$$.  Distancing himself from the Trumperator is his new game plan.  If there is one thing these showboaters know how to do, it is to stand in the right spotlight.  I'm sure there's a big karmic  spotlight in his future, and it won't be flattering.

The Distributor

I remember well reading a short story that was published in one of Alfred Hitchcock's collections of favorite short stories.  It was called "The Distributor", and its premise was basically that a not so nice person moved into a neighborhood where everyone got along, living their lives normally and unobtrusively.  The newcomer, aka, The Distributor, arrived in the neighborhood and created enormous havoc among these peaceful neighbors by carefully planned and executed acts of hate and violence, seemingly (key word) perpetuated by each other.  When all the neighbors were at odds with each other, it was time for The Distributor to move on.

I mention this in part because of some civil unrest in my own neighborhood over some loudly barking dogs who are left unattended for the better part of most days and whose noise making is bordering on ridiculous and obnoxious.  In mentioning this to another neighbor, it seems that I've opened a door for said neighbor to run back to the offending dog owners and report my dissatisfaction.

I was gladly going to take on this task myself, in a polite and neighborly fashion and ask them to simply limit the dogs' outdoor times.  I love the dogs.  They are otherwise polite and well-mannered.  However, when other dogs walk by them, they bark until said dogs are out of sight.  In a neighborhood where there are 2.3 dogs per every household, dog walking is the most common outdoor activity.  The noise level is relatively consistent, constant and annoying throughout the day.

Alas, because of the 3rd party intervening, I'm afraid I've now entered into that phase of unpopular neighbor.  I can deal with that.  What I don't like dealing with is a person who feels it necessary to create havoc and chaos where none should really exist.  On the other hand - know thy neighbor is a good philosophy and I, indeed, now know her.  She's a distributor.  She's also a distributor whom has lost a friend.  If there is anything more pathetic than a 50-something year old behaving as an unpopular junior-high adolescent, I simply don't know what it is.  So be it. 

The Three Ring White House

It's fairly obvious Donald Trump is having a little trouble with his underwear, i.e., he's losing anal control over the Mueller investigation.  And still, this stupid, stupid man continues to obstruct justice.  This is ring number one..... Donald Trump backed into a corner and must now jump through rings of fire in order to stay out of prison.  And we all know what a brave hero Donald Trump is.  He won't be jumping anytime soon.  All that orange tanning solution was unnecessary.  His prison clothes will suffice.  Conspiring with Paul Manafort's lawyer before submitting his answers to Mueller is just the tip of the iceberg.  The thing about white collar criminals is that they are so greedy and so self-confident that they are clever enough to never get caught is going to be the very thing that unravels this fascist regimen.  There are so many lies involved in this administration that someone as utterly incompetent as Donald Trump will not be able to keep track of them.

The second part of this circus is Ivanka Trump and her utterly stupid use of a private e-mail server.  The rotten apple does not fall far from the tree.  Ivanka and her husband are wormy apples.  It's just a shame that these Trumps all reproduced at such ugly rates.  What will happen to their children when they are all serving time?  Perhaps we should snatch them up and put them in the same detention camps that we send immigrant children to.  After all, these people have been trying to convince us that this practice is completely fair and humane.

The third ring is Melania Trump, or as she is known in liberal circles, Melanoma Trump - a dangerous cancer that threatens all serious women.  From her Be Best campaign (which went nowhere and is basically as meaningless as it's grammatically stupid name) to her decorating the White House with blood red Christmas Trees, this person is an utter joke.  It's almost like her staff is helping her look ignorant and ridiculous.  Anyone who would stay with a sleaze ball like Donald Trump is obviously a prostitute.  A very well-paid prostitute, but a prostitute, nevertheless.  I don't feel sorry for Melania at all.  She sold herself out a long time ago, and no matter what she does, she just looks like a ridiculously kept woman at every turn.  That she despises Donald Trump is obvious, but she despises him less than she covets her own financial well-being.

I hate pigs.  And the Trump Family is composed of the fattest pigs on Earth.  The Pig Circus has come to town.

Mueller

Donald Trump is refusing a speak with Robert Mueller because a liar will ALWAYS avoid a situation where his lies might actually be found out. 

That's the long and short of it.

Not only is Donald Trump a terrible liar, he's REALLY BAD at it.  Mental Illness Anyone?  Liars almost always suffer from some debilitating personality disorder. 

At any rate - the whole world is waiting and watching for this asshat to finally be taken down.  No one in this country had any idea how much harm an idiot in the oval office could actually do - but the answer to that one is an idiot in the oval office can endanger the world, thanks to idiots in the voting booth.  Yes Sirree Bob, we got us an officially evil ignoramus at the helm.  Hitler seems to have been Trump's hero as he doggedly follow a certain Hitleresque strategy.

Hitler was a mastermind of disinformation, war, terrorism and genocide.  Trump emulates many of Hitler's strategies, but the difference between Hitler and Trump is that Hitler was a dark genius and Donald Trump, pasty-eyed fool that he is,  can barely string four words together to make a sentence. 

Nevertheless, if Mueller doesn't take this guy down soon, we're all in for a lot of misery.  The Emperor has no brain and we are all going to suffer because of it.

California Nightmare

I am suffering complete revulsion because of Donald Trump's response to the fires raging in California.  A whole town burned to the ground, and this monster's first response is to blame the state for poor forest management and threaten to cut federal funding.  It isn't hard to understand that Donald Trump hates California more than he hates immigrants.  They almost never vote red.  Lots of intelligent people live there with enough money to answer Trump's dark money investment in subhuman candidates like him.  But the thing that really gets to me is that he is absolutely without compassion for the loss of life and the loss of people's homes and businesses.  Who can view what is happening in California and not feel horror and sorrow?  Apparently, Donald Trump can.  If this isn't proof positive that he is an evil man, than that proof doesn't exist anywhere in the universe.

Our fractious leader disrespects all veterans by not showing up at a memorial service because its raining.  He refuses to ride/walk with other world leaders.  The only time Trump had a genuine smile on his face is when he saw Putin.  He is more then ready to kiss Putin's a$$ because Putin is holding his family's personal purse strings.  And the pee tape.

This traitorous, ignorant, disgusting piece of slime masquerading as a human being is a far more dangerous predator than the Hollywood fantasy counterpart.  It is time to remove him from office.  It is time to save this country and have real conversations about the fractures that exist among its people.  It's time for us to decide who we want to be, and then be it.  Through our vote and with the right candidates, we can go from hideous to hopeful.  Embrace politicians who talk about term limits, campaign funding reform and those who protect the environment, promise to keep Wall Street in check, and who believe in the dangers of the military/industrial complex.

Let's take back America.  We're off to a good start.

How Did We End Up With The Psychopath Donald Trump?

That Donald Trump is becoming increasingly insane is evident.  He lies even when there are records, video recordings, paper trails, and eye witness accounts to his lies.  He just can't stop himself.  That is commonly known as insanity.  When confronted with his lies and misinformation, he throws temper tantrums.  That is insanity.

America - you have a psychopathic liar as your leader.  Most intelligent people are in severe distress knowing a man who should be heavily medicated with powerful anti psychotic medication is flying around on Air Force One pretending he is an important leader.

How did this happen to us?  Russia meddling aside - America itself seems in need of sedation and psychotherapy.  That's how this happened to us.

We have career politicians tying the feedbag on at the public trough.  They care little for the citizens of this once fine land, and have become completely addicted to dark money, thug power and poisoning this entire country for profit.  Be it raping the environment, starting wars so those invested in the military/industrial complex become obscenely wealthy, letting people die unnecessarily through a lack of health care, imprisoning small children in cages......whatever dastardly acts that have been exposed under this joke of an administration is all symptomatic of a very sick America.

At this point, I, for one, don't think we can recover.  We are ripe for a civil war.  We are deeply in debt to the Chinese.  Russia has so many inroads to our government, this land is starting to look more and more like a totalitarian state.  Donald Trump must be removed from office immediately.  He has done nothing but harm this nation.  He is a traitor.  He is the enemy of democracy.  We must start to understand that he may well be the death of all of us.  And we better understand that soon.

Bacon, Eggs and Mass Shootings

I wonder what it would be like to wake up and not hear about the latest mass murder committed in America.  I think it would be lovely - like having a pumpkin turn into a glass coach to convey you to the ball, a gown made of birds and butterflies or winning the freaking lottery when you have exactly $8.37 in your wallet and payday is two days away.

This gun-loving nation suffers yet another tragedy, while our leaders offer thoughts, prayers and little else to keep us safe.

Bottom line - the NRA is a terrorist organization whom offers huge sums of cash to politicians in exchange for the right to put every possible weapon out there on our streets.  We all know politician is a polite word for money grubbing whore, and that the standard rhetoric will be "it's too soon to talk about gun control".

In Louisiana, one of our U.S. representatives was shot up at a Washington D.C. baseball game.  (The extent of his injuries remains a private matter, but I'm guessing his manhood is no longer fully intact.)  Yet, this same congressman advocates for gun rights and is still taking money from the NRA.  He is immensely popular among his constituents.  Personally, he falls into my category of "you can't fix stupid", and another unfortunate truth that you can still screw many people even without a proper set of balls.

When one becomes a victim of gun violence, and one still advocates for the NRA and gun rights, including assault/military grade weapons, then one has lost all credibility of having any integrity whatsoever not to mention any semblance of sanity.

I don't think anyone has to look any further than this particular congressman to understand America's violent and murderous nature.  Scalise Unchained.  The intelligence is silent. That's what we got here down in the deep south. We will serve up a healthy dose of NRA rhetoric with your morning grits.  We will put on a suit and tie to hide the fact that underneath, we're a predatory and dangerous animal.  America will continue to build warships, warplanes, and warmongers because we're so great we have to protect our greatness.

We're not so great.  We have been unraveling since Columbine.  There's a big hole in our fabric and our sorry a$$ is showing.  Don't tell the Emperor.  He'll take your press pass.

Resurrecting the Bitch

I have not written a new post for almost a year.  My reasons are varied and numerous, but I've decided to return to this forum because there's no limit of fun one can have in two years of living in New Orleans.

Time to get sob....er....serious.

I took a break from my political discourse because I live in southern Louisiana, where the rednecks make Wisconsin rednecks look like good Congregational Church-goers at a Sunday night pot-luck supper.  I'm surrounded by the Atchafalaya Swamp, which is a great place to get rid of a body for anyone whom you might not hanker to.  The cops will never find me (mainly because they'll never look).  Outside of Orleans Parish, I will have no fans, here in Louisiana.  This is Trump Country.  Deep Red.  Missing Teeth Red.  Heavily Armed Red.   Is there a crayola named Ignorant Red?  Should be.  Alas, I will be mostly reviled by my fellow citizens and neighbors.

But it's not like I give a second thought to my detractors.  Never have.  I will show them in the most honest, deserving and realistic light, much as I show myself.

The Bitch is back.  For better or worse.
