Government

A GOP Blame Game

Trump is the “proud” owner of a government shutdown — his third. And he doesn’t seem to care and neither does the @GOP

The New York Times reportedly found records and eyewitness accounts detailing the Selective Service draft records of @realdonaldtrump and how he managed to hide from the draft board and avoid #USA military service.

For many years, Donald Trump asserted that it was “ultimately” a high draft lottery number that kept him out of the Vietnam War, rather than a medical condition. But his Selective Service records suggest otherwise. ‪Donald Trump’s Selective Service Records https://nyti.ms/2GCRmWD‬

Where There’s A Will

There is always a way, that’s what people say, but perhaps not for Republicans who serve We The People of the #USA. The GOP controls the government, so why have they shut it down not once, but a few times so far in less than two years?

The Republicans gave corporations a $1.5 trillion tax cut and have shutdown the government three times while 40 percent of Americans can't cover a $400 emergency expenditure and 80 percent of workers are living paycheck-to-paycheck.

Mad Dog Madness

POTUS hand picked US Secretary of Defense resigned because #TRUMP is cozying up to authoritarian regimes, alienating NATO allies, and destroying our long-standing policies.

The Trump Syria pullout is being defended by only the most ardent, diehard Trump fans. Others who have stuck up for him in the past have now deserted him Because It is a reckless move.

If @GOP can't read the writing on the non existent #Mexico wall or hear the sirens, they should resign. Dear government - https://deargovernment.info

POTUS For Putin

IO have never been more alarmed for the #USA since coming to #America decades ago. Its a move which may temporarily allow a gullible child to assume he has a best friend forever, until he eventually realizes that its never going to be enough and additional demands will certainly follow.

In a one two punch to the gut of all Americans, and after everything he did to destroy democracy in #USA these are the very best holiday gifts that Vladiimir could have ever wanted. Why has Donald handed #Syria over to #Russia and decided to lift sanctions?

In Don We Trust?

At last count, 33 individuals and three companies have been charged as a result of the special counsel’s #TrumpRussia probe.

The real truth about deception is that there is a difference when it comes to liars. What is the difference between a sociopath, a compulsive, a pathological, a chronic, and a habitual Liar?

Visit The Lonely

As Christmas approaches, I decided to visit a neighborhood retirement home to look into an old friend and former neighbor. Well into her nineties, she looks fairly healthy considering her age, but as I looked around, I found too many residents alone and without any visitors to interact with.

The Art of A Temper Tantrum

At a meeting between @POTUS and @VP with @TheDemocrats, there was a major setback for a self-described genius dealmaker. A Reality TV personality was boasting about being history's greatest dealmaker. He has proven not to be a master negotiator.

@realDonaldTrump promised that Mexico would pay for the border wall. Why is he now negotiating with Congress and determined on wasting billions of US taxpayers dollars? Isn’t this really a great deal for Russia if #Trump shuts down the US Government?

Individual 1

Does he realize he is finally top of the heap and the real number 1? The news comes with pre-presidential actions and entanglements by Trump himself. Investigators have now publicly cast Trump as a central figure of their probe into whether Trump’s campaign conspired with the Russian government during the 2016 campaign.

Disclosures show that Trump was in close contact with his lieutenants as they made outreach to both Russia and WikiLeaks and that they tried to conceal the extent of their activities.

Blue Christmas

There are many children who may be celebrating Christmas in a sad and lonely space as a result of Trump tactics.

The Associated Press reports the Trump administration separated 81 migrant children from their families at the U.S.-Mexico border since the June executive order that stopped the general practice amid a crackdown on illegal crossings, according to government data obtained by AP.
