Political Puppet?

Has a recent whirlwind Asia tour rekindled, re-enforced, intensified and purified some doubtful bromances?

Pull the string and he'll wink at you, he's your puppet
He'll do funny things if you want him to, he's your puppet
He's yours to have and to hold
Vladimir, you've got full control of your puppet

Pull another string and he'll kiss your butt, he's your puppet
Snap your finger and he'll turn you some flips, he's your puppet
Xi's every wish is his command
All he's gotta do is wiggle his little hand
he's your puppet, your big old puppet

He's a big fat toy, just a funny boy

Welcome Back POTUS

Embattled presidents have often looked to foreign trips to get their groove back. George H.W. Bush on Donald Trump: 'I don't like him.' http://mashable.com/2017/11/04/george-hw-bush-donald-trump-blowhard/#Pj…

Does @realDonaldTrump hope his Asia jaunt creates a runway to get tax legislation off the ground?

Sex Crimes

Submitted by ub on

This is an old problem which repeatedly surfaces, but this time there are even more allegations and accusations than ever that are being hurled at politicians, and celebrities alike as victims decide to speak out against the famous and infamous.

We are a nation of laws and there are many issues to consider. Perhaps we should demand our public servants pass a law waiving the statute of limitations, retroactively, for all cases of sex abuse.

Tax Faux

Taxes are a necessary evil and a mandatory financial charge imposed upon all US taxpayers to fund public expenditures. Could a failure to pay or a tax evasion be punishable by law? What's up with #TrumpTaxes?

Congress faux concern for the well-being of their constituents may no longer be fooling US voters. Is the tax bill going to be a great American solution or a huge problem? Why are GOP Senators planning to unveil a tax bill with an amazing race to pass this massive piece of legislation? Are they also trying to hide taxes from the US taxpayer?

Happy Anniversary?

Submitted by ub on

Feliz Cumpleaños, 生日快乐, Happy Birthday @POTUS... It has now been a year since @realDonaldTrump began his transformation. Today is the first day of the rest of president Trump's political life as he marks the one-year anniversary since he upset Hillary Clinton in the 2016 presidential election.

While some things remain the same from last year’s campaign, such as Trump’s critiques of the establishment and his Twitter tirades. Since taking the oath of office he has tweeted too many times including deleted and retweets. Trump has tweeted 2,461 times since the election. Here's a breakdown of his Twitter use https://usat.ly/2hQfS8a

I worked in Washington, DC as a GM/15-10 while serving under a Republican president, but I have no political affiliation. I can tell you that Trump has transformed our national capital into a city of cultural warfare and abuses the term “fake news” to alienate real journalism like no one has seen since Richard Nixon and remember what happened to him.

I'm no politician, but over the years as a veteran journalist, I have seen up close and personal some of the most famous as well as the infamous ones. From very real presidents to appalling dictators.

There is a difference between being president and acting more or less presidential. There is also a "Bigly" aka really huge difference between so-called reality TV and broadcast journalism. One is the real deal and the other can often be staged to fool viewers. Believe me, that I can tell you!

Democrats get back to where they once belong
NJ voters clipped political bully Chris Christie's big fat coattails and elected Phil Murphy for a newer Jersey chapter in Trenton. https://njersy.co/2AiRAdy

Democrats seize Virginia governors race after Trump made a HUGE push for the losing Republican. Ralph Northam Wins the Virginia Governor’s Race https://nyti.ms/2jaTvxz

Political experts say these elections are seen as precursors of 2018 fights as Americans are realizing that lies and empty promises bring an odor and smell of graft and a form of political corruption.

Election Day Votes

Submitted by ub on

Happy daze are here again, so let us hope there is no suspicious activity surrounding this one and while today's races may not have anywhere near the buzz as a presidential election, there are plenty seats and important issues at stake.

Voters from many cities and states around this great country will vote for their chosen local representatives, while New Jersey and Virginia will choose their next governors. The battle for Virginia's governor will be of particular interest as many are calling it a bellwether for Trump's impact on midterm elections in 2018.

Good God Almighty?

Why did innocence meet a sad and sudden death at yet another American church? At least 26 men, women, and children were massacred inside a small community church in Sutherland Springs, Texas, yesterday when a lone gunman entered during morning prayers and opened fire with an automatic weapon.

This madness has to stop before any more innocent Americans die. They are calling it a human mistake. Air Force Error Allowed Texas Gunman to Buy Weapons https://nyti.ms/2j7nUwD

Stop The Madness

Why does any sports enthusiast need an assault weapon? Too many rifles have been used for hunting down innocent lives in the last five years alone.

I attended a neighbor's memorial services this weekend. I expected to be safe in a place of worship. Are we no longer secure in the house of The Lord? How did so many defenseless people lose their lives when a gunman carrying an assault rifle kills 26 at small community church?

They work for all of US. Congress and @POTUS must DO SOMETHING NOW!

Contact your representatives and let them know what you want and need from them TODAY.
