Which politicians have been described as has been called stupid, demagogue, jerk, idiot, racist, sexist, race-baiting, xenophobic, Vulgarian in Chief, textbook narcissist, selfish, attention-seeking, servile flatterer; a fawning parasite, homophobic, doofus, dense and in some cases by their own friends and colleagues?

Is @POTUS correct, that the world laughs at us? But is it for a different reason? In a year we have lost our global leadership status and American founding fathers sobbing while turning in their graves?

Allegations or Facts?

Submitted by ub on

@POTUS tweets his concern that “lives are being shattered and destroyed by a mere allegation” Is this the same alligator, or crocodile who has been handing out a crock of pile his entire life by making outrageous, unsubstantiated claims about individuals or things, without showing any proof? http://politics.doseofnews.com/

Many would agree that his message should be constant - Domestic abuse is totally unacceptable and will not be tolerated. A police report and a black eye cannot be considered allegations never ever. This I can tell you.

When I first met my wife I told her I was 39 and once the truth was revealed she explained why I should never lie to her again. This woman was, smarter, younger and more beautiful and sexy than I could have imagined, so we became best friends an fell in love. http://cimages.me/content/yirong-and-roberto-soto-wedding-pledge

Many years later after learning more about her, meeting her family and always keeping my promise, we took a walk on the beach where I asked her to marry me. http://cimages.me/content/our-city-island-wedding

Working @Walmart

Why would Walmart hire a top DOJ official? The Justice Department’s third-ranking official, Rachel Brand has a job at Walmart adding trouble an agency with vacancies plus criticism from The White House?

Follow the signs and wonder what are they trying to prevent, or hide here? Four DOJ topper posts are vacant. Division heads at civil, criminal and national security, plus now #3 slot as leaves for Walmart? Thank you for shopping Walmart. https://youtu.be/g-XGv_BsAA0 https://youtu.be/CjSSj7-eyYk https://youtu.be/BV-F3lH3jO0

US Distress SOS

Submitted by ub on

Some are characterizing it as irresponsible, impractical, unpredictable, and reprehensible so stick em up America, you're about to be ripped off to the max.

Following a military budget the likes of which the Pentagon has never ever seen. $700 billion is a whole lot more in defense spending than China and Russia.

And after strapping US taxpayers with an outrageous tax cut for big business which so far is not trickling down, is the GOP now plotting to remove Social Security benefits?

SS IS NOT A GIFT We and our employers paid 12.4% or more of our paychecks ALL OUR WORKING LIVES.

Winter Olympics

Submitted by ub on

Let the games begin. The 2018 Winter Olympics got underway in South Korea, as the action began last night with figure skating and curling, but the opening ceremonies kicked off this morning at 6A.

US Vice President Pence, Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un’s sister, Kim Yo Jong, attended. Athletes from the two Koreas march together under one flag and the cheating Russians entered #OpeningCeremony under a significant cloud related to doping concerns during the parade of nations alongside competitors from over 90 countries.
