Dear 2016!   Good bye & good F*ckin' riddance!

Dear 2016,
You gave us this lyin'   f*ckin'   *sshole to be the President of the United States of America!!!

R   U   f*ckin'   kiddin'   me???

Americans wanted Hillary Clinton to be the future POTUS (by damn near 3 million votes)!,   but the Electoral college decided otherwise!

From CNN!

More Americans voted for Hillary Clinton than any other losing presidential candidate in US history.   The Democrat outpaced President-elect Donald Trump by almost 2.9 million votes, with 65,844,954 (48.2%) to his 62,979,879 (46.1%), according to revised and certified final election results from all 50 states and the District of Columbia.

And then you took too many of these beautiful lives away from us!

And many more!

Did I mention that "Black Lives Matter"?

Oh...and BTW...Blue Lives matter too!

Then of course there was/is Aleppo!     Aleppo!

And the Pulse Massacre!

And...These two dudes were planning to get married but, their lives were taken too soon by this *sshole!!

And then there were the Charleston Killings!

And all the other terrorist sh*t " that happened this year!

Did I mention President-Elect Orangutan?

I've just scratched the surface here!   Truthfully, I'm scared as sh*t and don't know if I can take any more of this sh*t next year!

Good bye 2016 and good f*ckin' riddance!

Peace & Love!

Lyin' Donald!

Donald Trump is a prolific liar. That’s neither an opinion nor a criticism, but a statement of scientific fact. In the midst of the presidential campaign, Politico analyzed a few hours of Trump’s speeches and found he lied once every five minutes on average.

Israelis versus the Palestinians...or...is it
The Palestinians versus the Israelis?

Dear God/Muhammad or whoever you are!
Please make this sh*t go away!   Personally I'm f*ckin' sick and tired of it but, unfortunately, it will probably continue to go on for the next hundred years!   And with President-Elect Cheetolini to take the office of the Presidency on January 20th...I'm afraid it's gonna get worse!

The period between the Six-Day War from 1967 until today shows two major developments in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict; firstly the increasing usage of violence against each other, and secondly the often half-hearted attempts to create a peaceful co-existence.

The Israeli incorporation of the West Bank and Gaza after the Six-Day War proved to be the start of many problems.   The peace agreement Resolution 242 was formed in 1970 and included the return of territories conquered by Israel.   However, due to different interpretations of the resolution, Syria refused to accept it.   This did not only mean that peace processes were stalemate; it also included that the West Bank remained under Israeli administration.   Israel initially wanted Palestinians to self-rule but as time went by Israeli settlements were allowed.

More details/info about this sh*t here!

A brief history/video of the Israeli/Palestian - Palestinian/Isreali conflict below!   (It's 10+ miutes, but I think it's educational and worth the time)!

Oh...and did I mention Aleppo?

Like I said...I'm really sick of ALL this sh*t...but, unfortunately, I/we can't turn our backs away from it!

Didn't Karl Marx say something about "Religion is the opiate of the masses"?   I'm just sayin'!

The Emoluments Clause?   WTF is that?

From Dictionary.com
[ih-mol-yuh-muh nt]
noun
profit, salary, or fees from office or employment; compensation for services: Tips are an emolument in addition to wages. Synonyms: earnings, pay, recompense, stipend, honorarium

“The President Can’t Have a Conflict of Interest”
Article I, Section 9, Clause 8 of the constitution states that no American officeholder shall, “without the consent of the Congress, accept of any present, emolument, office, or title, of any kind whatever, from any king, prince, or foreign state.”  
More details about the Emoluments clause here
!

"Foreign interference in the American political system was among the gravest dangers feared by the Founders of our nation and the framers of our Constitution.   The United States was a new government, and one that was vulnerable to manipulation by the great and wealthy world powers (which then, as now, included Russia).   One common tactic that foreign sovereigns, and their agents, used to influence our officials was to give them gifts, money, and other things of value.   In response to this practice, and the self-evident threat it represents, the framers included in the Constitution the Emoluments Clause of Article I, Section 9.   It prohibits any “Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under [the United States]” from accepting “any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.”   Only explicit congressional consent validates such exchanges.

It is widely accepted that Mr. Trump’s presidency will present a variety of conflicts issues,many of them arising from his far flung domestic and global business activities.   Some will involve Mr. Trump personally, while others will involve his administration."
More about the Emoluments clause here!

Consider the following examples, drawn from the domestic sphere...

  • Over ten cases challenging Trump labor practices are pending before the National Labor Relations Board which has two vacancies, both to be filled by Trump.
  • The Internal Revenue Service is auditing Trump, who will soon pick its new chief.
  • The Trump International Hotel in Washington, DC is located in the Old Post Office and leased from the General Services Administration (GSA); once Trump takes office, he will be both landlord and tenant (an obvious conflict), and also will be in violation of the lease, which bars elected officials from sharing in any benefit.
  • Trump owes several hundred million dollars to banks, but is now responsible for selecting the next Treasury Secretary and may influence interest rate policy.
Rethuglicans...this is what you wanted!   This is what you got!   Enjoy!

The Deploables!   They prefer Putin over POTUS!

Trump voters really, really hate President Barack Obama.   A new YouGov/Economist poll shows that a staggering 90% of Trump voters hold unfavorable views of President Obama.   Only 51% of Trump voters hold unfavorable views of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.   That’s nearly a 40-point differential!

The Donald..."narcissistic personality disorder"!!!


Video Source: UK Independent

I spend most (too much) of my daily life trolling the Internet or watching the news.   (I know…I need to get a life)!   The other day…I bumped into this beauty about something called…narcissistic personality disorder!
I never heard of this before, but The President-elect immediately came to mind.   So then I "googled" … "Trump narcissistic personalty disorder"…and found this bonanza!!!

Here's what the Mayo Clinic has to say about this disorder/symptom:

  • Having an exaggerated sense of self-importance
  • Expecting to be recognized as superior even without achievements that warrant it
  • Exaggerating your achievements and talents
  • Being preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate
  • Believing that you are superior and can only be understood by or associate with equally special people
  • Requiring constant admiration
  • Having a sense of entitlement
  • Expecting special favors and unquestioning compliance with your expectations
  • Taking advantage of others to get what you want
  • Having an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others
  • Being envious of others and believing others envy you
  • Behaving in an arrogant or haughty manner
What else can be said?   Okay…here ya' go!

Dear Donald…please send me an e-mail when you open that first coal mine and tell Putin we send our love!!!

PS...Sorry about the ad up front...but I love me some Bermuda!

Only in America!

Graydon Carter recently wrote this article for Vanity Fair.   Unfortunately, I don't think many of "The Deplorables" read Vanity Fair.   Hell...I wonder if half of them even read a newspaper!
Here are a few excerpts from the article:

Only in America could a serial bankrupt pass himself off as a successful businessman. (And almost none of those he bankrupted were even regular businesses. They were casinos—where people essentially come to lose their money.)

Only in America could a man who offended Hispanics, Muslims, Jews, and African-Americans, as well as women, babies, and the handicapped, become the Republican nominee for president.

Only in America could a man for whom truth is an inconvenient concept feel comfortable referring to his opponent as “lying” and “crooked.”

Only in America could a man who brags about groping and kissing women without their consent win 53 percent of the vote among white women.

Only in America could a man who avoided the draft—with a deferment for pesky bone spurs on his feet, which somehow did not hinder him from playing tennis—and who insulted war heroes and their families become the commander in chief of the greatest military power on earth.

Read the rest of these beauties at Vanity Fair!
