The presidential rapist

Everyone knows Trump is a rapist. Even Trumpers know their sick, twisted, genius leader is a rapist.
Just hilarious that our rapist president is called the “law and order” president.
Our rapist president wants to get all the “rapist migrants” out of the country _ How dare they rape American women. That’s Trump’s territory, raping women in America. That’s Trump’s job.
Vote in a rapist to be president. The United States is a joke.

Wake up!

After the attempted assassination of President Trump in Pennsylvania, there was an attempt to silence dissent, and to collectively blame “The Left” for the actions of a lone wolf whack job. The shooting was exploited in an attempt to discourage truth-telling re: the historical record of Trump’s words and actions. If Trump had died, his martyrdom would have no doubt transformed a white supremacist into a devoted servant of Jesus. These tragic events are exploited for divisive propaganda in every way possible. And so it is that Americans have been divided and conquered. We peons fight amongst ourselves while the powerful get ever richer. It’s a very old game. Is it a “leftist” thing to point out that many of our problems, such as income inequality, the climate crisis, the housing crisis, and the healthcare crisis, etc., will never be solved by “market forces”? These are problems CAUSED by “market forces,” and Americans suffering from these crises are not neatly divided into left and right. A more meaningful division is between the top ( the oligarchs) and the bottom (the rest of us.) Many Americans are either heavily propagandized, or don’t pay attention at all, as we head like sheep to the slaughter. Wake up. Fight back. And love your neighbor.

Dear Minnesota Representatives/Senators,

What are you all doing to stop the genocide in Gaza which is, of course, U.S.-funded genocide?
By the way AIPAC is the terrorist supporter and you should not be taking money from them as you all are doing. You should be representing the people of the U.S. and we don’t want the US to support genocide!!
You are a bit late since Israel has already killed 62,000 Palestinians dying by U.S. bombs and bullets. Shame on the U.S. government-shame on Washington. Shame on the so called “representatives of the people.” 
Thanks for your understanding.
But if you can’t do the right thing than we, the American people, would appreciate it if you would all resign and end your sponsorship of this outrage, this genocide of the good Palestinian people.
Please respond to this to my email: sjohnson79@hotmail.com.

trump despoils everything
        
We’re seeing in Washington, DC a similar situation we’d have seen if Al Capone had been elected mayor of Chicago in the 1920s.  (Capone was convicted of only 5 felonies, not 34.)
The destruction of our federal agencies and legal systems figuratively looks like the Israeli genocide of Gaza and the Russian destruction of Ukraine.  Structures crumbled, people being very hurt.  
Government employees in Washington have been unjustly and illegally fired from their jobs and can’t appeal because appeal boards have been emptied by the “acting” president. Yes, acting. He said it himself: we on the left, the good guys, he calls “the enemy within.” If you’re a Democrat, he’s just declared war on you.  Wake up. By his words and actions, he’s shown himself a racist fascist dictator, hasn’t he? My opinion, not the Reader’s. (editor’s note – actually that is also the opinion here and should be of any person grounded in reality).

Our president’s job, defined by law and Constitution, is representing all citizens equally, not just those he thinks will still vote for him. He’s our employee!
The acting president has filed a $515 million lawsuit against the NY Times.  Hate the Times? How did you come to that belief? Who told you? Do you read the Times? I think it’s still available at the library to read for free. He claims the Times committed defamation and libel.  One can’t defame or libel a president who reasons and acts like a 12-year-old imagining and pretending what a real president does every day.  One can’t defame or libel a president who thrashes about causing chaos like a 3-year-old having continuous out-of-control tantrums. His actions have not only hurt our democracy, but have made us world laughing stocks, and have shown the world we are at this point as weak and morally corrupt as we’ve ever been. That includes Andrew Jackson.

Laughing so hard it hurts

Once again Donald trump is making me laugh by things that he is saying.  First of all he said that everyone knew and loved Charlie Kirk.  Before he had been shot I had never heard of him so I couldn’t have loved him.  Last week he said that all the tv networks were going to air his memorial service, which I knew that they would never do.  If they had the sports fans and advertisers would have been screaming and letting them know that they were not happy about it. 

Then he says that he wants all of those who don’t agree with him prosecuted.  I wonder where they put all of them since all the prisons will be full since his list of people who disagree with him is long.
The final laugh was when he and RFK Jr said that Tylenol and vaccines caused autism and the cure was a cancer drug yesterday. What study said that?   
 

My parents when I was growing up made sure that we all got ours and when a new one that came out that would protect us from a disease we got it and none of us were autistic and as an adult I kept getting them when needed.  I was so glad when the covid vaccine came out and got it as soon as I could.  I know nobody who got vaccines that became autistic or who’s parents took Tylenol.

I’d rather believe a real doctor not any one who doesn’t have a medical degree.  Who just thinks that they know everything about everything.

I can speak from experience that chicken pox, measles and German measles are no fun and I was glad to get the mumps vaccine when it came out.
