Whatever political perspective you may come from on this presidents day; I think most will agree
that the first month of Trump in the white house has been anything but dull & uneventful. The futile foot dragging by the democrats on
cabinet confirmations isn't accomplishing much beyond making divisive party
politics a permanent stalemate; and of course to further anger the fuhrer, Herr
Twitler.
Now the spin doctors, along with Trump loyalists like Spicer
and Conway are doing all they can think of to distract from the one thing all of this has come to be
about; and that folks is treason, as defined in the
Logan Act. Flat out un-deniable TREASON,
simple as that!
Trump and his entire regime are guilty of treason under the Logan
Act for repeated conversations
with the Russians during the campaign,
to skew the election in Trump's favor. As
it turns out; several of
Trump's advisors and aides spoke to Russian operatives on several occasions, as well as General Flynn. It also seems highly likely that Trump knew
of/if not ordered the illegal contacts.
The actual reality of things for the sake of some clarity is that Trump
didn't fire Flynn; he fired acting attorney general Sally Yates, who warned him about Flynn.
What makes Trump complicit in this beyond the fact that he
chose Flynn, is that he kept him for a
full 17 days after Flynn lied to the vice president! In those 17 days Trump was trying to figure a
way to keep Flynn; so he is just as guilty as Flynn himself. This cowardly traitor Trump tries to blame the
whole mess on Hillary??? That
is nothing less that Trump's insanity showing through once again,
for all to see. How by any stretch of logic
can he possibly connect anything to her?
Have you noticed yet that with this one, it is always somebody else's fault, Trump never admits being
wrong or making mistakes. Does it seem
healthy to you that a grown adult man should say such childish things, over and
over?
As the Flynn treason was grabbing the headlines Andrew
Puzder, Trump's appointed secretary of labor withdrew when his history of wife abuse was outed by Oprah. Meanwhile: a Russian spy ship is snooping on
us 35 miles off the east coast, and Russian
jets are buzzing US ships in the black sea...poking & provoking our new president Bannon to see how he will
react. Meanwhile Trump poses for even
more executive order signings.
The entire security apparatus of our country is literally up
in the air. With damaging leaks pouring
forth from disgruntled government personnel every day; Trump is focused on his
twitter rants; a carnival of lies press conference, and a re-election campaign rally! After repeatedly blasting Obama for taking too many
vacations, Trump the hypocrite in chief flees to his southern
white house every weekend so far and that of course is all at taxpayers
expense. Trump has taken the day off to go golfing six times since inauguration day. Now compare this to Obama who did not take any time off until day 127 of his first term.
Also paid for by taxpayers are all living expenses for secret service, & travel related to Trump's wife and youngest son who aren't yet on the white house staff. Speaking of staff; candidate Trump vowed that he would sign over the day to day running of his businesses to his children to comply with federal conflict of interest laws. Well it turns out that was just one more double barreled lie because he not only hasn't signed over anything to anyone; he found jobs for his adult children in his administration. Factor in his refusal to release his tax returns after vowing many times to do so; and it's clear to see that this "short fingered vulgarian" believes he is above the law, and that rules are for other people.

Trump's first solo press conference was 77 minutes of lies,
and alternative reality; starting with some old lies about the new Boeing
contract for 2 new Air Force One planes.
As he often does Trump ignored the fact that the planes in question are
to replace the current ones but not for several years in the future,
claiming he killed the contract to save money.
For the third time now Trump also took credit for pulling us out of the TPP -
except the TRUTH happens to be we were never signed onto
that accord, so there was nothing for us to pull out of. Trump
makes stuff up to claim credit for when he actually did nothing, and the
lie is so transparent. Those are the
actions of a child. Simple as that!
Trump opened the
farce conference with his newest lie "My administration is a finely tuned machine"
which is as absurd as it can be with all the calamity of spies, leaks, and
firings. Now, before you just pass that
by, take a second look. Doesn't it sound
a bit like what he said about his inauguration speech when he said it stopped
raining for him to talk (no it didn't)
and that he saw "a million and a half people" (who were not there). Only
the very young or the very disturbed
have such a loose grip on reality. When
a fully grown adult behaves this way consistently it is a problem. When that man is also the president it
becomes more than a problem, it becomes a national disgrace.
Trump continued his litany of lies with the claims that "Russia
Taking a page out of the Adolph Hitler book of fascism;
during his press conference Trump ranted on about how the established media are
all fake news and should be ignored.
This is the first step towards his goal of eliminating news media
altogether. Simultaneously he will be
making calculated moves to also eliminate the same judiciary branch which
struck down his illegal and immoral Muslim ban.
Now I would be first to agree that the state of the fifth
estate is woefully degenerated from it's lofty duty to a free and independent
nation. It really isn't freedom when you
get to choose your own master; and when all
media in America
Speaking of campaigning, on Saturday Feb. 18 trump held his first
re-election rally in a Florida
aircraft hangar where he mostly repeated the lies he told to get elected, with
a sprinkling of new lies he just made up.
Really?!? With his
administration faltering right out of the gates; Isis threats, a Russian spy
ship cruising up & down our eastern
coastline, not to mention the whole Russian hacking and violations of the Logan act treasonous behavior from
his staff...he holds a rally to get re-elected??
What is wrong with this man?
OK folks, here's the deal.
Donald Trump is a malignant narcissist, which is
actually three personality disorders
at once; and the only purpose of the Florida
rally was because he is addicted to the applause
and
adulation, he simply cannot give it up. Of course he covers this up with the lie that
he wants to speak "directly to America "
without the filter of "fake news" but it is all about getting that fix. So I guess unless we get rid of the madman in
the white house, we'd best get used to these ego rallies every other
weekend.
Trump's administration has become a 3-ring circus where
every day there's a new scandal, or outlandish lies or just whatever they trot
out to distract us from what
undoubtedly will go down as the largest, worst and most destructive instance of
political treason against America . This will not be over until Trump and his
entire crew of criminals are removed from office and placed immediately in Gitmo to await their trials for
treason and other high crimes.
The daily leaks indicating a white house in turmoil are
coming from the same intelligence agencies,
president-elect Trump disparaged, and
who are not exactly comprised of liberals; so when they get freaked
out enough to break the law in defense of the country; you can bet it's
serious shit. It isn't exactly a Washington
secret that the Kennedy assassination took place mere weeks after he vowed to
destroy the CIA . Even
without that; a sane man does
not go about insulting the cadre of professional assassins who are now working
for him. Not a fight a sane man
would want anything to do with.
Trump has also just signed a new "executive order"
giving the police much broader powers
and authority, which just takes us one notch closer to a full on police
state. He also has plans to use the national
guard to enforce the forceful deportations of thousands. Last week Trump signed an executive order authorizing the hiring of 1500 new full time border patrol agents.
And then there is THIS Shit:
It has also recently come to light thru the on-going leaks from within the Trump regime; that he plans to publish a weekly list of crimes committed by immigrants. Here again emulating his role model Adolph Hitler. A few weeks ago you may have heard people cringe upon hearing that old, stale, trite comparison, but no more. Each week Trump announces yet another travesty to democracy modeled after the third Reich of Nazi Germany, because it worked so very well for them. A few months ago when Trumps former wife commented that he keeps a book of Hitler speeches on his bedside table, I imagine many folks doubted it. I'd wager they're believing it now.
The austere programs & plans now being implemented by Trump exactly mirror the blueprint followed by Hitler, and every other authoritarian despot right up to & including Putin & Kim Jong Un who just also happen to be 'leaders' Trump admires. Is any of this getting thru? We're in some degree of danger here folks, the kind that comes banging on your door in the dead of night to haul you off to the re-education center. Doesn't it bother you just a little bit that in the last few days Trump's regime has concocted three totally fake terror attacks that never happened? It should bother you, if it doesn't yet maybe google up a refresher course in 20th century history.
Apparently in retaliation for the court shooting down the Muslim
ban, Trump sent ICE troopers across
Trumpland to arrest known illegal immigrants who have been here for decades in
some cases; essentially using Obama's "Deferred action for childhood
arrivals" (DACA)~ known as 'the dreamers' program, as a deportation list. A cowards move, to arrest & deport those who are not causing problems. Over 700
arrested, so far, with 750,000 names on the DACA
list for trump to pick off. What a dick
move for a fucking coward!!! Canadian
border patrols are reporting a huge upsurge in undocumented people attempting
to sneak across the border ever since Trump's deportation arrests began.
In the state of California legislature this week lawmakers introduced SB54 which when passed will limit the assistance state police can give to federal agencies seeking to deport undocumented immigrants. Citing that the swarm of executive orders pouring from the white house are in essence A moving minefield, designed to skirt around existing safeguards; lawmakers are hoping SB54 will effectively make California the countries first Sanctuary City! The rest of the states need to fall in line behind California; stand up to president Barbie hands and his fascist rat pack before they get dug in like ticks. Do it now, or do it not, there simply will never be another chance. What is needed is to repeatedly knock down his illegal decrees with checks and balances as was done with the Muslim ban, until the mid-term elections. If we cannot re-take our country at that point we might end up kissing America goodbye.
The Republican dominated congress refused to allow Obama to name the replacement for the late judge Scalia on the supreme court; they literally stole that appointment for Trump to fill. The thing to worry about here is not so much about the one appointment, but the many. District court judgeships across the country are up for new judges to replace the former ones, and Trump gets to make all of those appointments...ALL of them! This means that this one fanatical madman can make appointments that will affect life in this country for many many years to come. Trump the ego maniacal child-king is going to ensure his place in history. This will not turn out good!

The Goldwater Rule
In 1964 when republicans picked Barry M. Goldwater as their
presidential candidate it didn't take reporters and journalists long to remark
on reports that Mr. Goldwater suffered from mental illness in some form. In turn several mental health experts of the
day also offered their professional prognosis on the subject. This resulted in the formation and adoption
of the Goldwater Rule which simply
states that no mental health professional should offer opinions on
politicians they haven't seen personally.
For the most part the psychiatric profession has adhered to the Goldwater rule,
until
now.
In recent days a rash of mental health professionals have
gone public to warn about trump, one has even started a petition to have him
removed from office immediately. Trump
has been field diagnosed as having
the trifecta of mental
disorders known as Malignant Narcissism which is basically an obsession with one's
self, ego run amok, self aggrandizement is all that matters. From the prideful boasting to the obsessive
lying and outright denial of reality, Trump's madness has been on parade for
all to see.
We ignored it for the 18 months of the campaign because we
thought it was funny and it seemed he'd never win. Well he did "win" (Alternative loosing)
with some help from Russian hackers. Oh
yeah, at first there is a little schadenfreude
when we see the wheels falling off the Trump regime, but that is short lived
indeed when we remember that we ourselves might not survive the crash. It ain't funny anymore, is it?
The only thing Trump has made great again is SNL!
Now we must go back and revisit all of those instances when
Trumps words and antics made decent Americans cringe, even some who voted for
him are cringing nowadays. We must
return to those many video clips we laughed or cursed at, and take a very close
look at the madman in the white house, because in case you hadn't noticed, he's
recently doubled down on the insanity.
With the list of criteria mandatory to become the president,
why isn't a professional independent psychological examination required?? It has been stated ad nauseous that the reason
for having the electoral college is
to prevent a madman from ever becoming president. Well folks, we can now scrap the electoral
college because greedy men found a way to use it to install a madman ego
lunatic to the presidency so they can loot the country blind as we stand
dumbfounded and transfixed with the bumbling clown show that is Donald J.
Trump. Simple as that.
Some said during the campaign that Trump would change once
elected and we wouldn't
see all the childish ego pandering and boasting. Well here we are just 30 mind numbing days
after inauguration and the only change he's made is to get even crazier than before; pushing the country
closer each day to total fascism.
People got upset because Hillary
took some work home with her, but that is NOTHING
compared to trump who is still using his old (unsecured) Android phone; and who conducted a national emergency
security meeting at an open access restaurant...even pointing out the Marine by name who carries the nuclear
football. The Japanese prime minister was
his dinner guest when Trump got the emergency news that North
Korea just conducted a missile test. Instead of going to a more private and secure
location, Trump and aides got their briefings and looked at data right in the
open restaurant. There is a word for
that, and it is Incompetence. As long as Trump's gigantic ego could soak up
the limelight by looking so important: nothing else matters.
None of these embarrassing and potentially damaging events would have taken place if Trump had just used the facilities at camp David to entertain the Japanese prime minister; as that is the intended purpose of that facility. But no, not Trump. He insisted upon costing the American taxpayers a few million dollars by flying everybody to Florida to see his over-rated restaurant Mar A Lago. After 18 months of saying he would 'look out for the average American' now he ignores all that and just does whatever he wants and to hell with anyone who doesn't like it. In his first month in office Trump's vacations have cost American Taxpayers over 11 million dollars. For some perspective, that's more than Obama's vacations cost for a full year!! He is partying like it's 1999 and sticking us with the bill.

The true hallmark of the malignant narcissist is they always
accuse others of being guilty of what they themselves are guilty of. Keep this in mind whenever you hear Trump
accusing others of being Nazi's or traitors. Another classic trait of these type people is
that they never take responsibility for anything
unless it makes them look good. During
his press conference, when pressed by a reporter challenging his boast of
having the highest number of electoral votes, Trump instantly backpedaled;
claiming "I was given that
information."
You see, in the ego-centric reality of the narcissist they
are the quintessential Artful Dodger
never being wrong, never having to apologize because they see themselves as
perfect. Anything not in harmony or
agreement with the narcissistic world view and self image is ignored,
ridiculed,
or attacked;
according to the threat level posed in the moment. It is perhaps worth noting here that the mask
worn by the narcissist is neither effortless or foolproof. It takes a lot of energy to maintain outward
appearances while simultaneously shielding the ego from outside reality. Masks can slip, crack and break under extreme
stress or emotional upheaval.
Many narcissists such as Donald Trump leave a wake of failed
marriages and broken families behind them because if they remarry quickly they
can maintain the mask of perfection by seeing themselves as the one who is
desirable, adorable and perfect. Always
looking to shift the blame anywhere else.
The thing is, and this is key; if they should falter, if their
mask should slip revealing the diseased mind behind it, that is when they are
the most dangerous, volatile and unpredictable.
Malignant narcissists are true masters of equivocation,
prevarication, and projecting their
guilt upon others. These things are as
easy for them as breathing is for us, and as with breathing, it's an automatic
reflex thing; it's their nature. Unfortunately, the medical professions do not
consider narcissism to be a disease as such, because the narcissist does not
suffer from the condition; only those they prey upon suffer and in this case
that means it's humanity versus Trump.
Narcissists are also fond of gaslighting, which is a
kind of psychological manipulation of facts, events and people, designed to
muddy the waters, shift the narrative, and make one doubt their sanity in
general. Both projecting and deflection
are employed as a means to their devious ways.
Donald Trump literally hounded Obama for years over all that
ridiculous birther crap, then refused to say it aloud that he was wrong
& it was proven beyond a doubt. Narcissists simply cannot admit to ever being
wrong. This one, this Trump has to work
overtime to keep his enormous ego fed, hence all the rallies after
he took office. We have literally
created a monster here, one that seems now to require these
regular rally events.
Pretty soon he will run out of bullshit names to call them
and will have to admit they are just to keep his ego fully charged. When his energy runs down the harsh realities
of the real world the rest of us live in come crashing into Trumps brain. He cannot tolerate that; so now that we got
him used to adoring, Hitler saluting
fans to keep him charged up and fully delusional. What do you suppose he would be like if he
couldn't get that adoration any more?
This week Trump announced the creation of a government
investigation to look into his delusional claim about "massive
voter fraud." It matters not to Donald Trump that every
single expert in the field
agrees that there simply ain't no such animal;
he "feels" it is true, and so in his personal warped reality
that is good enough for him. When
recently asked who he will be relying on in foreign policy matters, he actually
said, " Myself, I have a great mind and I've said a lot of
things." Whether he really
conducts an investigation; or steals the funding money doesn't really matter;
either way it's money that could be better spent fixing the water in Flint,
Michigan or helping homeless veterans!
Elsewhere this week in Trumpland, Herr Twitler emulated Conway & Spicer and literally made up a terror attack in Sweden Sweden
actually asked for an explanation...what
is he talking about? As it turned
out, there were no terror related problems in Sweden !!
Trump is just like atoms, because they both make up everything.
In all of his frantic ranting about terrorism this week Trump failed to mention the Florida man
who was arrested for plotting to plant bombs in 10 Target stores along the east
coast. How odd Trump wouldn't mention that
at all, not once. Just another totally bogus, made up terrorist
attack in Sweden !
Then there is the undeniable &
detestable fact that Trump is a misogynistic sexual predator who openly rates
women according to if they are attractive enough for him to pussy grab, yes,
let us not forget about the pussy grabbing sexual predator.
Trump was accused of raping a 13 year old girl some years
back with a friend of his, and I believe he still has court dates pending on
that one. Even worse are the reports
(and pictures) of Trump groping his own daughters; not to mention the numerous
times he has repeated his desire to "Date"
Ivanka. You can get more perverted than
that but ya gotta go some to do it. Oh
yes, good time to mention the "golden
showers" by Russian hookers and no doubt others as well. The point here is that Trump is one sick
puppy.
At his ego-feeding rally Trump repeatedly bragged about how
he was keeping all of his campaign promises; except of course for the ones he
seems to have no recollection of making, such as his promise to release his tax returns. Every president for nearly half a century has
released their personal tax returns, it's what we call a tradition; and yet somehow
Trump figures he is above all that and doesn't have to if he doesn't want to,
defiantly daring somebody to try to make him play by the rules. He won't ever divulge those tax records
because they will show exactly how much money he borrowed from Russian banks!
Then there is the issue of his promise to divest himself from his
businesses to avoid any possible conflict of interest; which happens to be legally
required! Aside from showing us
a conference table stacked high with empty manila folders fresh from office
depot; Trump has done nothing whatsoever to keep his promise and separate
himself from his empire. He not only
arrogantly thinks he doesn't have to, he also thinks nobody can make him. Same thing with the tax returns.
At his bizarre 2020 re-election rally he kept boasting about
all the campaign promises he is keeping.
Oh yeah, how about his promise to release his taxes, and to divest
himself from conflict of interest? How
about the promise he made that the deportations would be handled gently, with
consideration. He just deported a
busload of children for crying out loud.
Trump is nothing but a lying, cheating scumbag in a bad suit with a six
foot red tie. Our very own homegrown Genocide
Clown.
An old saying advises young men that if they want to know
about a girl, praise her to her girlfriends.
I find it both interesting and revealing reading what other billionaire
businessmen say about Donald Trump.
Richard Branson
recently said of trump "He invited
me to lunch at his gold filled New York
Mark Cuban
commented, "Donald has been at this
for a year, but you don't look at him and say, wow he's gotten so much smarter
on this topic or that topic. In fact you
look at him and say 'what the hell are you talking about?' That's not good for America." Cuban hinted in 2015 that he considered running
for president, saying he thought he could beat either Clinton
or Trump. As recently as last week Cuban
was again quoted as saying he might run in 2020.
That will be what that will be, but if he does he won't be running against Trump no matter how much he'd like to...Trump won't last that long: because "I'm Hearing" that impeachment documents are being drawn up.
That will be what that will be, but if he does he won't be running against Trump no matter how much he'd like to...Trump won't last that long: because "I'm Hearing" that impeachment documents are being drawn up.
We continue to wonder about Trump's mysterious & shady connections to Russia & Putin.
Over and over Trump keeps saying "we should try to get along with Russia Russia
and Putin but one thing is certain; he's not
going to tell us, no more than he's going to release his tax returns or
divest himself from conflict of interest with his businesses.
As mentioned in a previous post, Trump has borrowed heavily
from Russia
because American lenders refuse to deal with the king of bankruptcies. That huge debt could well be used by Putin as
leverage; not to mention rumors persisting of a video tape showing Trump
getting a golden shower from Russian hookers.
Putin wants several things from Trump. Top of the list would be to end US sanctions against Russia
and to weaken NATO. He also wants America
to adopt his pro-Assad stance in Syria . Next he'd like the US Crimea . Obviously giving such concessions to Putin
would go against our values and interests internationally but they might just reduce Trump's monetary
debt to Russian banks! I'm just sayin.
Meanwhile, today in cities all across Trumpland; people took to the streets by the thousands in an organized effort they called "Not my president day." Perhaps Trump will acknowledge them in an angry twitter rant, but my guess is the news never made it inside the bubble of self-delusion that is Donald J. Trump.

A note to my regular, longtime readers: Yes I am aware that
I began this expression as primarily a spiritually
orientated blog focused upon the
uncharted landscape of the Aquarian age, to kind of help us all find a
better path to where it is we are going.
If we strive to be like the Buddha and be in this world but not of
it in these extraordinary times we may
find ourselves too detached from the world around us to survive it. It behooves us to not only be aware of our
mundane surroundings but to also live our spiritual values to their/our highest
expression. That would include speaking
truth to power; and anyone else with ears to hear and eyes to see. Ignoring the ugly and distasteful aspects of
the human condition isn't spiritual, it's denial.
As a combat veteran I cannot remain silent in the face of
what is happening in this country right before our astonished eyes. I have grandkids in high school and some day
if they should ask what I did when the Nazi's tried to take over our country I
want to have an answer I won't be ashamed of.
No, I haven't converted this space to being a political blog; please
indulge me, I'm on a bit of a rant recently.
Several non-political posts
are in the pipeline even now. Either way
I know I won't be happy (or shut up)
until I see Trump in a jumpsuit that matches his complexion with federal
marshals leading him away.

~UPDATE~
When Congress members across the nation returned to their home districts on 2/21 they were greeted with town hall meetings full of raging angry constituents demanding explanations; and assurances Obamacare won't be repealed without replacement. They mostly are angry that nothing is being done by anyone to control the madman in the white house, and they are afraid. One citizen in an Iowa town hall gathering told his representative: "It feels like the a juvenile is running the country!"
When news of the nationwide angry protests reached Trump; he tweeted
that the "so called" protesters "were all paid professional activists."
Lame man, really lame! Meanwhile, the protests are growing, and spreading.
Uh oh, time for our so called president to have another Ego rally!
