Sorry, that headline is a little misleading.
However, when confronted with statements he made, bragging that he predicted another mass shooting by "radical Islamic terrorists", he quickly avoided questions about the narcissism of his tweets and turned the question into an attack on Hillary Clinton. Donald Trump is real good at attacking, but I'm guessing that he's going to be even better at running away from true confrontation coming in the form of Hillary Clinton.
This is Donald Trump. The Artful Dodger of all Relevancy. How his ban on Muslims entering America would have prevented a New York born, Florida raised, United States citizen with a diagnosed bipolar disorder from killing 50 people with an assault weapon is simply not important to Donald Trump. He panders. He pimps. He promotes. And finally, he can't be pinned down on a singular viable solution to any of the myriad of problems the United States is facing.
The Artful Dodger will surely send his thoughts and prayers. $hit. As if any universal force of peace, kindness and love would touch Donald Trump with a ten foot assault weapon. I'm pretty sure the only thing Donald Trump has ever prayed for in his life is favorable rulings from Federal Bankruptcy Court.
In all the tragedy of today's news, the worst news is that Donald Trump again opened his mouth and failed to say a goddamn thing.

Clear!
Alright, I've dragged out the paddles and charged the defibrillator, it's time to revive the Bitches because, frankly, the presidential campaign of 2016 will provide just too much fodder to go unremarked. I plan to return to my semi-retirement life of drinking southern liquor based cocktails as soon as the United States of America announces a new president (assuming Donald Trump is physically able of uttering the words "concede"). I have my doubts.
It's come down to Hillary Clinton vs. Donald Trump.
It's hardly fair to Donald Trump. His entire campaign has been based, thus far, on making inflammatory racist and sexist comments, riling up a large percentage of racist and sexist Americans in the process. He wants to make America great again, which based on his history, means allowing the 1% to do whatever they want while the rest of us suffer the consequences of unbridled greed. Yeah - that would be great alright. We're all looking forward to getting kicked in the a$$ by millionaires. It's what we live for. The Donald cannot possibly stand against The Hillary. It will be interesting watching the verbal castration.
It hardly pays to ponder how a horse's patoot like Donald Trump actually won the Republican nomination. Let's just say, there's BIG trouble in the GOP, and the United States of America has successfully been dumbed down.
On the brighter side, I am anxiously awaiting Hillary's vice presidential pick. The Donald's .....not so much, although it's been a riot watching Chris Christie grovel and lap at his feet. But the Donald is not against burning bridges, so I think Chris Christie should take the tunnel. Here is my list of potential candidates for Donald's running mate:
1. Sarah Palin.
2. Scott Walker
3. Joe Arpaio
4. Mel Gibson
None of my four picks would bring anything to Donald Trump's campaign, which is exactly what Donald Trump brings.
So when the name calling can take a back seat to the actual debating, the chips will fall where they may, and the people who know something about something will make a very public and entertaining humiliation out of the big mouth, blow hard Donald Trump.
I look forward to watching the unraveling.

The Sorry State of Wisconsin
In a petulant fit of toddler-type anger, Scott Walker returned to the State of Wisconsin after losing all credibility in the first round of thinning the presidential hopefuls herd and destroyed the civil service code set in place by a truly great thinker, Bronson Lafollette.
Its sad that this one man traveling idiot circus can wreak so much havoc in a State. First, he vilified all teachers and public employees and convinced the weak-minded people in the state that these people were dangerous and ruining the economy. Now he made it easy for the same group to never get fair treatment or fair wages by their employers, if they're lucky enough to get hired at all.
There is something terribly wrong with people like Scott Walker; their viciousness and hatred for certain groups of people, their unrelenting need to destroy the middle class; and their overall incompetence in making things better except for the obscenely wealthy 1%. These things they do are symptomatic of the disease of the brain called Greed Syndrome. It's a terrible disease that apparently can't be cured. So we can only hope that there is a fatal element to this syndrome, and these people will die a painful death.
Scott Walker will never win the governorship of the State of Wisconsin again. Others like him, Milwaukee County Executive Chris Abele, and U.S. Senator Ron Johnson will never win another term. They have proven themselves to be anti-democracy, and the truth is, as slow as some Wisconsin residents have been to wake up to the lies, they are fully able to see the truth when it is smashed into their faces.
Scott Walker is angling for a piece of the 1% pie after he's thrown out of office - maybe working for a think tank. Talk about a vacuum. Abele already has money and apparently suffers short man syndrome to a very dysfunctional degree. Ron Johnson is your common garden variety idiot.
So go! Go Russ Feingold. Go Chris Larson. And go citizens of Wisconsin in ridding yourself of the people who have run your state into the ground.

Trump vs. the Pope
In a rare show of diplomacy, Donald Trump didn't respond with his usual verbal slurs against the Pope. (Must not offend the Catholic vote.)
My big worry is that Donald Trump's wall along the border will do less to keep people out than it will prevent people from leaving. And as this presidential campaign year proceeds, I think I'd really like to leave this country. I think a lot of people would like to leave the country. I think a lot of people are saying, "what country"?
In defense of President Obama not going to Scalia's funeral --- a big who cares. I admire Obama for not being a hypocrite. Besides, I heard anyone gazing at Scalia's corpse could suffer corneal burns in a last show of power by the leading dog of useless dogma.
Ted Cruz is still the scariest candidate out there.
My heart says Bernie, but my head says deconstruct, not detonate.

GOP Today
I have (very few) friends who claim to be Republicans and align themselves with conservative and fundamentalist policies.
I try to have respect for these people and their viewpoints in the only way I know how to do that ---- I don't discuss politics with them.
However, as I watch the country disintegrate into a pile of stinking $hit at the hands of Republicans, my gloves are off.
Here is what I have to say to my "Republican" friends.
You support a plan and a party mired in evil.
You are spoon-fed rotting offal everyday, and you seem to like the taste.
You take no responsibility for finding truth --- which makes everything in your own life a lie.
You have no sense of justice.
You are intimately involved in the demise of a once great democracy.
You are too ignorant to understand any of the above.
You can still be my friend, but I will not mourn your dismay when the karma that is surely headed your way takes you down. In fact, I will remind you regularly of your own role in your own downfall, and tell you that you do not have my sympathy. In fact, watching your righteousness fail will be a richly satisfying entertainment for people who actually care about other human beings.

Mardi Gras Season in Louisiana
I just can't quite get over the obvious similarities between Mardi Gras season in Louisiana and the tone of Republican presidential candidate gatherings.
During Mardi Gras parades, people just about trample each other to get a strand of gaudy, cheap shiny beads you wouldn't be caught dead wearing anywhere, except in Louisiana on Mardi Gras.
Certain people fall all over themselves to get into a republican rally, where they will get thrown propaganda bones, such as "we'll stop abortion", "we'll lock up immigrants from Mexico", "we'll lower taxes" (for the rich - that part is generally silent). The only difference I see here is that the crowds in Louisiana are much larger and better informed, even when they're half drunk at 9:30 in the morning. I intend to be one of them come February 9th.
I am going to the Krewe of Barkus this Saturday, a parade where people dress up their dogs and other assorted animals, and parade them in all their carnival glory through the French Quarter.
Talk about a Parade of Dogs --- did anyone catch the latest Republican debate? Me either. I'd rather watch real floats than the floating crap the republican candidates are serving up at their gatherings. It has come to this: Americans will eat crap if you serve it in a lie-based rhetoric. They'll eat it and they'll talk about how good it was.
What's in your water?

Sarah Palin's Endorsement of the Trumperator Says It ALL!
Sarah Palin's endorsement of Donald Trump proves that even when you are exposed as an unintelligent fraud, if you're Republican enough, you still believe you can attain a high place in politics. (See David Vitter.) Such shameless pandering, as her family continues to defy all of her high falutin' principles and mores. Sarah should stay home and clean her house. She might not be well suited to that task, but it seems to fit with her level of experience and aptitude. There's honor in getting rid of dust bunnies and Sarah could definitely use some honor. Not quite sure if dust bunnies in the brain can be removed, though.
The Trumperator continues to spew venomous word salad, sending the thinking people in the United States a clear message, "I'm a Menace, Don't Vote for Me". Although he once had his hands on clearly one of the most valuable pieces of real estate in the world, The Plaza Hotel in New York City, he managed to muck it up and lose it. This is a clear analogy for what his presidency would look like. But I really don't think we have anything to worry about here. I hope he does get the nomination, because every single time he opens his trap, it becomes crystal clear he's out of his league. He has no real plan for constructive change in the United States; but he has many violent and destructive ideas for bringing about the end of this country.
I have certain reservations about Hillary Clinton ---- she's too established in the dysfunction and she's too close to Wall Street. But knowing that Bernie Sanders can't win the nomination (and I'm extremely sad about that), she is most likely to be the candidate. I cannot wait to see an intelligent woman take on the loud mouth Trumperator in a non-Fox Theatre News environment. She'll have his back against the wall in no time, and his misogyny will take over any part of his brain that actually functions normally, small as that part might be.
Like most Americans, I'm pretty depressed about America's future. But I'm not insane enough to think a vote for the Trumperator could ever be a good idea.
