Government

Off The Rails

US President Donald Trump wrapped up his trip to the United Nations General Assembly with a nearly 90-minute press conference. For the first time in ages, Trump held an extended, solo press conference. It is being reported as full of baffling non-sequiturs and defamatory insults.

POTUS held his news conference today alone and it is now being described as Off the Rails as some are saying the president rambled on and failed to answer the questions he was asked, while others say he made his SCOTUS appointment allegations all about himself.

POTUS Has No Walls?

Are his many walls either slowly crumbling down all around or quickly moving in on him? That all depends on your point of view.

As special prosecutor Robert Mueller closes in on his #TrumpRussia probe, the president is increasingly frustrated that Mexico refuses to pay for his border wall and Congress has failed to provide funding for the massive project. Last but not least, his chosen SCOTUS candidate keeps gaining accusations, with the most recent female who has spoken up has come from a Latina during their years attending an ivy league university.

US Infrastructure Repairs

What’s happened to POTUS promise to repair America's basic physical and organizational structures of buildings, roads, and power supplies which are crucial for the operation of our modern society?

Another empty promise to repair the fundamental facilities and systems serving our country, cities, and other areas, including the services necessary for its economy to function?

Pushing The Limits

America has begun to wake up to the real impacts of POTUS tactics including massive, tax cuts for the rich, eliminations of government rules causing natural disasters, which continue to claim lives, increase damages, and other alarming decisions, which will have a negative impact on our nation for many years to come.

A US rule that requires energy companies to capture climate-changing methane during drilling has been rolled back by the Trump administration. California and New Mexico sued within hours. http://apne.ws/yufjAWX

Nightmare Before Election Day

The Republicans, who are self-described by Grand Old Party held the late SCOTUS Antonin Scalia’s seat vacant for more than a year using a line of reasoning and GOP logic that under our democratic system, American voters deserved a voice at the ballot box. Since the midterm elections are just 50 days away, and following serious allegations of lying under oath, in addition to the new troubling information which has now surfaced by an accuser who passed a lie detector test, then shouldn't US voters be heard?

War on Truth and Justice

There is a war on truth and justice, where some members in our government may have become complicit. The most recent battle has POTUS Trump and his administration opening up a new front in the war on the rule of law. First, judges were attacked, then FBI, then DOJ and now the World Court? What’s going on here folks?

I remember as a child hearing the phrase Truth and Justice and the American way. What has happened since then? PBS Superheroes https://youtu.be/xtQ-pA6uM3c

Welcome Back Barack

In the spirit of full disclosure, I am not a Democrat or a Republican. In fact, I once worked for a leader of the GOP, who served as a US Congressman, CIA Director, VP and later President George HW Bush. Welcome back Barack. We know you have America's back.

NAFTA Nitwit

Calling all newshounds. While the McCain controversy involving The American Flag at The People's White House was unraveling, POTUS hurriedly called the press to announce that he was stopping NAFTA and after checking with Canad, who was not having it and a lame duck president of Mexico, who was not immediately available for POTUS.

The North American Free Trade Agreement is an agreement signed by Canada, Mexico, and the United States created a trilateral trade bloc in North America. That was before POTUS blew it up and it may have backfired on live TV.

Small Man Big Job

The late and great US Senator John McCain’s R-AZ left his dying message to be read by former chief of staff Grant Woods who says being President is a big role, filled by a little man.

After the death of McCain, President Donald Trump waited 48 hours before he released an official statement honoring McCain’s service.

After not saying anything about the late Senator McCain but praising Noth Korean Butcher Kim, POTUS finally spoke about McCain. Earlier he released a statement after being pushed a number of times by both Democrats and Republicans,

Michael and Paul Apostles or Heretics?

Longtime Trump Attorney and Fixer Michael Cohen cops a plea deal and implicates POTUS in campaign finance violations. The president’s former attorney and longtime “fixer” entered into an eight-count plea deal with federal prosecutors investigating him for potential tax fraud and other financial crimes as well as campaign finance violations. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/crime-courts/ex-trump-lawyer-michael-cohen…
