From RS/BS: The Top ten Pet Peeves of Trump and the era of Trump-ism



Everyone has their ‘pet peeve’ for the egregious behavior of Trump and his supporters. 
The big ones for me include these top ten:

1. Giving the Russian agent the Polling data from the 2016 campaign DIRECTLY from the  Campaign Manager Manafort and Gates…that got me…it stood out- as the definition of what “COLLUSION” is!

2. Trump’s cavalier abandonment of our Kurdish allies- meaning we cannot be counted on to stand with our allies; our word is NOT our bond! It means that US standing…is shot around the world...

3. The fact that the hypocrisy of all that Trump has done is met with silence from the GOP after all they have complained of Benghazi and Bill Clinton/ Obama’s Executive Actions Going after heath care with NO Idea of replacement by any ideas on the right!

4. The silent undermining of governmen. Steve Bannon- now Indicted- bragged of ‘deconstruction’ of governement, and all agencies including the EPA/ Education/Post Office/ State Dept/ all agencies….even Weather (See book by Michael Lewis- The Fifth Risk!)

5. Our damage to our relationships with allies; his cozying up to dictators- talking about being a “Laughing stock’ to the world/ Leaving the Paris Accord AND the Iran Deal. Both were expected but were done with nothing to take their place. There is no foreign policy. The stupidity/arrogance on display are leaving us literally as a laughing stock among our allies.

6. The idea that there exists in vaults - where Bin Laden strike notes are kept-top secret- They have jammed Trump’s talks with PUTIN.  Trump had no notetakers for his meetings…!?
This should not stand….IS there a back-channel to Russia? Kushner tried to set it up. Here's a quote from a reporter who said EARLY in Administration; “This is what we know...what we found out…What is it we DON”T know about”!? This was after he met with Russians after firing Comey and was laughing it up with them.

7. No work has been done on shoring up our Elections….for Russia to interfere AGAIN. The Impeachment didn’t do a thing to stop Trump.  He seems emboldened to be able to do anything he wants… (Which is showing as he is NOW working to undermine all segments of Elections; the Postal service/Election Day/ Ballot integrity/ Voter Fraud is trotted out again!)

8. The idea that McConnell rams through judges; that he buries all the legislation that House has passed. All Subpoenas are ignored.  Trump appoints people with no hearings or oversight. There is no oversight of any of his cronies with criminal activity. He is ‘running out the clock’ on criminal activities.  The fact Trump trotted out women who accused BILL Clinton for HILLARY Clinton debate….that should not stand, and is not normal.
There is no normal- no level playing field. Only  The Lincoln Project has gone ‘low’ to deal with a dirty trickster. If we go high he goes lower…**This was written BEFORE they are jamming through the Supreme Court judge before RBG’s body is cold!

9. Bill Barr has been unchecked also; So Trump has people around him- only cronies and ‘yes’ people are left. All the ‘grownups’  in the room left long ago. He can brag about getting his “Roy Cohn”- and Cohn was disbarred!




10. The lies/ the many lies are simply shrugged off; his behavior is not normal; shouldn’t be normalized; his ignorance and arrogance and trampling of norms-rule of law… And the idea that some have stood up to him and are fired. They pay the price with their jobs. Colonel Vindman and others, all the AG’s that he fired are victims because they had integrity. A Saturday Night Massacre is routine every Friday night, to try and bury it in news cycle
And the Fact tha  the MEDIA had dropped the ball with ‘what about-ism.’ The Hillary’s e-mail crowd and following the shiny object have become numb to his crimes. They are always distracted and distractible. Trump sits in the White House and plans his daily Reality TV campaign and feels he is untouchable.

Making America Great Again....Really

The MAGA mantra is a lie…They didn’t vote to make America GREAT again but instead to blow up the system….Not all of the people who voted for the MAGA slogan still believe it will become true. There is too much solid evidence of the hollowness of the promises. Mexico is not paying for a wall, and we don’t have a better health system than the ACA that helps people with pre-existing conditions. The actual components of what it would take to make America Greater still are just not there. Making American Great again would entail working together to create a better health care system for all that would include those with pre-existing conditions. Making America Great Again would mean working on infrastructure to make America a showcase that is the envy of the world.  Making America Great would mean working to be a global leader in NATO and with our allies to not only create peaceful solutions in existing conflicts, but also to work to prevent conflicts and to bu...

Barbaric Acts in the Modern Age and the Appalling Sound of Silence

Why would any group choose to behead someone? In the 21 st Century,  the words barbarians and beheadings should both be viewed as arcane language. Instead, we see South and Central American drug cartels plus groups of extremists fighting in the Middle East using beheadings as a frequent and popular method of murder. For those of us living in the relative shelter and peace of the Continental United States, it’s hard to fathom the black hole of hatred and darkness seen and used by these people. Why do they behead people? One clue concerning the Islamic extremists leads us to the time of Mohammed. Even in the prophet’s time, (570 AD to 632 AD), he was condemned for an act of violence which left seven-hundred Jewish men beheaded at the siege of Banu Qurayza. In certain parts of Italy and in the U.S., the Mafia and drug cartels of South America use beheadings to serve as warnings to those who would stand in their way. Sadly, we probably have not reached the end of this appall...
