Donald Trump 2018

Recommended Posts

I won't sit quietly for @realDonaldTrump's racism, so I took a test. But DNA & family history has nothing to do with tribal affiliation or citizenship, which is determined only – only – by Tribal Nations. I respect the distinction, & don't list myself as Native in the Senate.

Speaking of family stories, @realDonaldTrump has one, too. It's the story of a second-generation tax cheat who was handed a $413 million inheritance through rich-guy loopholes and outright criminal fraud.

If @realDonaldTrump – a cowardly elitist who has never known or cared what life is like for anyone who's ever lived outside of a skyscraper in Manhattan – wants to talk about authenticity, well then, let's talk about who's REALLY pretending to be someone they're not.

For starters, @realDonaldTrump wants us to think he’s a billionaire – but he won’t show us his tax returns. Why? Maybe he isn’t as rich as he pretends, & he doesn’t want us to know that his "empire" is really built on debts he owes to some sketchy characters.

And @realDonaldTrump brags about being a successful businessman – but he’s only good at going bust (he even lost money with a casino!) and cheating people: scamming Trump U students, shortchanging workers and contractors, & abusing bankruptcy laws to save his own skin.

We knew all that before @realDonaldTrump became President. But since he took office, we’ve learned that the scam runs even deeper.

He pretends he’s a populist – but @realDonaldTrump’s economic policies are all about making the rich richer and the powerful more powerful. He’s stuffed his administration with so many former Goldman Sachs bankers they could open a branch office.

He promised to #draintheswamp – but @realDonaldTrump is the most corrupt President in American history. The long line of scandals & convictions (Pruitt, Price, Manafort, Cohen, etc.) prove it. Art of the Deal? More like Art of the Plea Deal.

He pretends to love law enforcement – but attacks his own Justice Dept, attacks the American hero who led the FBI after 9/11 for doing his job, & stuffs his Admin with crooks who bend over backwards to make sure no CEO ever goes to jail for cheating people.

He demands military parades in his honor but cheats our veterans out of charitable donations, attacks their families, ducked out of Vietnam, & can't even be bothered to visit the troops that he refuses to bring home from Afghanistan or Iraq.

He drapes himself in the flag – but for all his talk about "Making America Great Again," all @realDonaldTrump does is attack our core values (the free press, the democratic process, our legacy of diversity) while he shovels taxpayer cash into his own pockets.

And @realDonaldTrump loves playing the strong, decisive leader – but look at the chaos on his own staff, the way his administration fumbled the Puerto Rico recovery, or how he constantly undermines his own agenda with his own incompetence.

Oh, and one more thing. @realDonaldTrump likes to pretend he’s a real tough guy. But like most bullies, he sure scares easy, doesn’t he?

He’s afraid to stand up to Vladimir Putin in defense of our country, afraid to talk to Robert Mueller because he knows he'll crack under the pressure, and so afraid to go out in public, he hides out at his own golf clubs.

And you know what scares him the most? Us. The American people. He’s afraid we’ll see him for who he really is and expose the con he’s been running on our country from Day One.

And @realDonaldTrump should be scared – because on November 6, we’re going to bust up that con once and for all.

Here's the deal: @realDonaldTrump’s Washington is more corrupt & more out of touch than ever. And it turns out @realDonaldTrump never had any plan to make things better, & he has no plan now. All he can offer are attacks & distractions.

But nicknames don’t help families pay for child care. Conspiracy theories won’t solve climate change. Racial slurs can’t raise wages or make our communities safer.

Like I promised @NCAI1944 in February, whenever someone brings up my family story, I’ll use it to lift up the story of Native families and communities. I'll use it today to lift up the NIWRC and their amazing work to protect Native women from violence. niwrc.org/donate-niwrc

I’m ready to support working people and help middle class families build real security. I’m ready to root out corruption and clean up Washington. I’m ready to stop the politics of hatred and division so we can bring back core American values like diversity and respect.

I’m ready to reverse the trillion-dollar tax scam and use that money to help cut student loan debt and rebuild infrastructure, ready to stand WITH our allies AGAINST our enemies, and get to work on clean energy, immigration reform, and gun safety.

But to do that, we’ve got to work as hard as we can between now and November 6 to tune out the lies, ignore the chaos, shrug off the fake bluster, and focus on organizing for REAL change.

At the end of the day, I trust the people of Massachusetts to look at the facts about who I am and how I've lived my life and make their own judgment about me. But remember: @realDonaldTrump doesn't have the same kind of faith in you.

And on November 6, if you’re tired of getting scammed by your President, stand with me, and with the reformers on the ballot in your community, and let’s elect new leadership so we can start getting things back on track in Washington.

No. I meant Kamala is relative to the woman sometimes referred to as Elizabeth Warren. 

So your edit means that you openly admit to being a misogynist?  

After all, you're perfectly fine with an exceptionally ugly male candidate, yet judge female candidates by their looks alone.

We're only just now figuring out he's a misogynist?

Is this the Cruz rally? You think they’d actually mention the candidate he is coming down here to support. I guess that assumes Trump actually gives a shit about that candidate.

 

Well, it's a "Cruz" rally in a sense that he'll have Ted come up for a couple of minutes, implore the audience to vote for Ted, then tell Ted to leave the stage so he can ad-lib for the next 58 minutes or so and play Freebird to the adoring crowd.

When actions have no moral content and are judged only by whether they are successful, and success is defined by limitless wealth and self preservation, you're in the chute straight to atrocity.  

Now you’re getting it.

And that’s the battlefield now.

There are no rules, ethics, or morality. None. There is but one rule: win. Play by it, or lose.

Fucking thunderdome. That’s our republic now. The descent from a society of norms to thunderdome can happen with a snap of the fingers.

Standing in the thunderdome and whining about rules and norms is a way to get yourself dead, and quick. Fight back. And don’t fight dirty - fight dirtier. It’s the only viable play left.

They are already trafficking in lies as truth, and disenfranchising voters who might go against them. They aren’t going to stop. They’re only going to get worse, and more bold. That’s the game now. Time to play, opposition.

People prefer more attractive candidates and she provides a better visual contrast compared to Trump. That’s all I’m saying. You can deny that all you want, but it’s true. 

I have more bad news for you. People, both men and women, are judged by their looks all day everyday.  So get your shit together.

And yet your favorite candidate of all time is a hideous looking old man. One who you will vote for over either Harris or Warren. You only judge women on their looks. Just fucking own it.

1) No, not my favorite candidate  

2) Yes would vote for him over them  

3) No I don’t just judge on looks

Quit trying to put words in my mouth. 

Not sure how I triggered you so with my common sense statements.

I’m with Anastasis on this one. Now you’re nauseated by American leaders yucking it up Saudis?  

Yawn. 

Of course you are.   Bothsiders are the Trump cult's best friends; I've been making that point for two years now.   But the reality is that the nauseating actions of the Trump administration today aren't lessened by different mistakes or wrongful actions of past administrations.

Because you are a truly shitty person.

The end game is “it’s over.” Once Americans - which is what the GOP is - decide that destroying the foundation of the republic is a-ok, then there is no recovery from that.

It’s analogous to when a military decides to utilize “total war” tactics to capture territory. The only question is which side becomes Lord of the Rubble. There will be no Lord of the City - the city doesn’t survive this game. It never does.

Which is why I fucking warned and warned against this bullshit. There’s no going back. And the GOP keeps doubling down on their path.

I refuse to believe America is over. We can and will come back from this.

You’re naive and foolish.

We will survive as a shell, with a resemblance to what we were, and could have remained. But that’s it. There’s no coming back. Not in this incarnation.

I am neither. But I am also not a quitter. And neither are you. If you were, you wouldn't be working daily to stop all of this from happening.

Well, he's coming to Houston later this month the NRG Arena.  So some of you folks should have a really fun time there.  Tickets are going fast, so jump on in!  

I won't be able to make it since they found out I know how to read.

so, the saudis are claiming that this journalist died during a bad interrogation? they just happened to have a bonesaw on hand, in case the interrogation went south?

this was a clear torture/murder of a political enemy. he wasn't an american citizen but he lived here, and we should be concerned with ally states murdering political dissidents. it's one thing when a rogue state like north korea or russia does it. but saudi arabia is a friendly state to us, and we need to take a stand that his shit is not going to be tolerated.

But did you see how important that weapons deal was for our contractors?  Can't rush to judgement.  Bothsides.  Maybe the Journalist attacked the Saudi's with the bone saws, ever think of that?

She knows nothing about me, a total con!

We all know Drumph is a total con.  At least he just admitted this.   Amazing that this is an official statement from the President of the United States that will be held alongside those of Roosevelt, Kennedy, Lincoln, etc.
