GOP True Colors?

Submitted by ub on

Late on Friday as news of Hurricane Harvey was intensifying another legal hurricane could also have been developing. Convicted former Arizona official Joe Arpaio was pardoned two months before the former Maricopa County sheriff was to be sentenced for federal criminal contempt.

Trump had reportedly sought to help his fellow “birther,” while Arpaio’s Arizona trial rolled on. https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/trump-asked-sessions-about-clos…

GOP Fight

Submitted by ub on

The Grand Old Party, also known as The GOP, is one of the two major contemporary political parties in the United States, the other being its historic rival, the Democratic Party.

I once worked for Republican President George HW Bush, even though I am an NPA, with no political affiliation.
However, is it slowly becoming increasingly apparent to many Americans that The GOP may have elected their worst nightmare, as their so-called political leader continues attacking Republicans?

Political Schizophrenia?

What type of religious teachings are available in military school to brats who are sent there by parents that can't tolerate their behavior? An academy prepares candidates for service in the military, so why would someone attend only to then avoid serving?

Paranoia and Protection

Joseph Michael Arpaio is a convicted criminal awaiting sentencing as of August 2017. He was the elected Sheriff of Maricopa County, Arizona, from 1993 through 2016.

@POTUS says “I’ll make a prediction: I think he’s going to be just fine.” He traveled Tuesday to Arizona, where he all but promised to pardon disgraced former Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio at some point.

Divisible With Justice For Some

Submitted by ub on

Has a so-called leader of the free world who took an oath to be president for all the people kept his promise?

@POTUS is once again attacking the media and anyone who questions his lack of leadership and divisive actions.
By taking his words out of context, he defended his late response to a white supremacist-organized rally in Virginia which killed one and also promised to shut down our government to build a wall along with the US border. Last night he torched journalists, teased on Arizona Senators McCain, Flake and hinted he'll pardon racist convict Arpaio.

@POTUS Speech

Submitted by Admin on

Will Americans continue to follow leaders who claim to be problem solvers, but are really trouble makers?

Will @POTUS speech be characterized - Do as I say, not as I do? What are most folks saying following his latest flip flop?

Are you interested in reading news reports, and pundit responses, or have you overdosed with all the drama, BS and had enough?

Is there a sinister plan to destroy democracy in America as we know it? How close is this great nation to being shattered, or crumble? We must uphold the notion that all men are created equal. Fascism is not our future it cannot be; we cannot allow it to be so but this is surely the way fascism can begin: http://nyer.cm/Ss9dVaJ

Guess Who's Coming to Dimmer?

Summer is ending. But his fun and the heat is not dimming. President @reaTrump says he's taking a break from a so called working golf vacation by returning home in an attempt to dim the tensions, which some say he's helped to create. This is the first time since his inauguration. Trump is at his private golf club in Bedminster, NJ, on a 17-day "Working Vacation" while the White House West Wing is being renovated. These fixes were previously approved by President Omaba.
