Democracy’s Final Hurrah?

I never want to see democracy’s final hurrah, and trust me neither do you. Believe me that I can tell you!

Years ago, I surprised a lot of people, including myself by making a career move from the dark side to a brighter side: After a lifetime of jaded journalism trenches starting with my very intense 3 months long full-time internship with The Washington Post and Newsweek, I was hired by NBC News, then management stints at Univision, Telemundo, VOA, News12 and The AP, where I finally took a buy out and moved into academia.

Welcome Back POTUS

The Russia investigation and a growing sex scandal are waiting for @POTUS when he returns to the U.S. Investigators probe Trump knowledge of campaign's Russia dealings: sources https://reut.rs/2jhZlx2

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?

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!

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.

Don't Be Rushing US

What is the reason for the Trump administration's tiny steps toward imposing sanctions targeting Moscow under a new US law by sending Congress a list of entities linked to the defense and intelligence arms of the Russian government?

It is the world’s largest nation, and perhaps POTUS has a vision many Americans have yet to see, like the fact that Russian borders European and Asian countries as well as the Pacific and Arctic oceans. Its landscape ranges from tundra and forests to subtropical beaches.

POTUS Profanities

Submitted by ub on

Who's the most foul-mouthed President of The USA? Many would quickly say 45 right away.

However, that depends on their styles, priorities, intelligence, and criteria. So we surfed the internet for quotes from US Presidents' colorful language.

President Obama's comment about Mitt Romney being a "bulls*****r" is one the less-offensive of the presidential profanities. Reagan, Carter, Ford, Clinton, Nixon, Johnson and even Harry S. Truman, were all known to let a profanity slip every now and then, but POTUS 45 toxic Tweets, comments, and actions could trump them all.

American Credibility

Submitted by ub on

The integrity and credibility of The United States of America is on the line, while attacks on the world's most powerful democracy will continue unless lies coming from Washington, DC and all the destructive activities are stopped once and for all.

Dark money is one of the problems and the laws must be changed, so our elections will not be tainted. The main issue lies with our so-called leadership and Congress keeps participating in obstruction and destruction.

We Don't Need No Stinking...

Russian roulette or any other lethal games of chance in which an American government leader pulls the trigger.

This practice of loading a bullet into one chamber of a revolver, spinning the cylinder, and then pulling the trigger while pointing the gun at one's own head is not only an activity that is extremely dangerous, but this nation has endured many difficulties and our patriots have sacrificed too much blood to allow any foreign power to interfere.

President @realDonaldTrump @POTUS has honed spin into a new and improved art form. It’s amazing that he doesn’t hesitate in saying the things that he says. Trump dismisses Yates and Clapper testimonies: "Russia-Trump collusion story is a total hoax" http://hill.cm/qgoTYKZ

The hearing was called to allow former acting Attorney General Sally Yates to testify to a Senate panel that she warned the White House that Michael Flynn could be blackmailed by the Russians. Former DNI Director James Clapper also warned that Russian meddling in U.S. elections will continue.
