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.
