TRUMP is like KIM JONG-UN {a limerick and an image}

The only difference there be a-

-bout Trump and the head of Korea:

One’s black on his top,

one wears an orange mop.

Both look like pets they call “chia”.

PLEASE QUIT, MISTER TRUMP {a rhyme}

Your screwed-up regime you need to reboot,

or else you’ll continue your foot to shoot; -

- but MUCH better us would it suit

if please you quickly would scoot

so that governance could take anOther route.

Please at least yourSelf recuse

from the presidential doings which you yuugely abuse.

America’s paying ‘way too much dues.

You from your office we’d gladly excuse.

THEIR BUDGET: WRONG, WE ADJUDGE IT {a rhyme}

Trumpsters and Rightists misjudge it,

the world’s situation.

So their grounds for an ill-fated budget

will cause our ruination.

The set of facts they smudge it

with their stupid fixation

on money-making schemes

in Neo-Cons’ dreams

‘bout military expansions

and plutocrats’ mansions

which are built by Wall Street and Oil,

while everything else roils in spoil.

CONSERVATIVES GOT THEMSELVES TRUMPED {a rhyme}

Conservatives got themselves Trumped; - he

smushed ‘em like Humpty Dump-ty.

IS it the end of the road

on which they heretofore strode

in their silly self-righteous mode? …

… OR will more of 'em cease to crawl

at The Donald’s beck and call?

SMOKE-SCREEN DISTRACTIONS {a rhyme}

His fingers are shorties,

but My how they’re fleet

as Trump tweets his sorties,

firing tweet upon tweet.

He’s aggressively snorty

in his Trump Tower suite.

He’s Twitter’s most prominent twit,

overdoing it quite a bit.

It seems that this twitty putz

has gone quite wholly nuts.

Yet also his tweeting actions

serve him well as smoke-screen distractions.

==========================

Indiana has a long history of odd governors who have done odd and even criminal things while they were governors. Trump connections to Pence in Indiana date back to 1983, the year Trump acquired Mar-a-Lago, a 23 acre Palm Beach Estate for 5 million, and the year Pence went on the air on right wing radio.

Problem is, you seem to allow your progressive mentality interfere with good sense.

After all, WHERE did Pence's Emails hurt national security ? Where as, lets face it, the Democrat party tried to put a felon in the white house in 2016. We knew a hell of alot of the crap Hillary tried and pulled during her 30 years of so called public service and for the most part, regardless as to how damaging , dispicable, illegal or careless it was....people gave her a pass. And that is just the things we found out about. I could say that about many things regarding Obama too....

Namely quadrupling spending on fast and furious that got people killed.

Or the seemingly open borders policy he had where if you can make it to America - that's part one, but you have to stay good to stay here. That bad policy might sound all warm and fuzzy to outsiders, but was getting our citizens killed. Yes, many can lament the 9/11 attacks and how Bush failed, but how about counting up all the terror attempts and attacks on our own soil during Obama's reign.

I am proud to be an independant because I use my mind and the facts (cross checked) to decide on things. And when I hear of teachers influencing students to think left wing, a media too complacent to do their job right and admittedly leans left. To see the open corruption, lying, collusion, civil disobedience, not to mention the history of the party whom have somehow conned black people by majority to vote for them......well...there's loss of credibilty. Now i'm not saying the right is pure as the wind driven snow by any means, but when have they resorted to routine breaking of the law by citizens ?

When's the last time you saw the right throw speakers out of college campus's ?

Or resort to violent protests ? March around whining about things they couldn't possibly change ? The litiny of bad behavior abounds on the left with very few being committed on the right.

Point being, people will judge the left, liberals, progressives in the same boat as communists, socialists, etc with every like stupid action.

And your representatives aren't much better. Harry Reid used to routinely lie to the American public from the senate floor. Pelosi the walking gaff machine is always calling out for some Republicans head....but conveniently forgets that Democrats have done the same if not worse.

People such as I are tired of seeing the obvious double standard. We are tired of progressives / liberals / socialist etc. trying to make things more complicated or tell / force us to live how they think we should.

The so called "Muslim Ban" is a GREAT example. ANYONE that has read the founding documents of this country, realizing we are a Republc...not a democracy, and having read Trumps executive action to ban travel from 7 terror supporting countries because they do not meet our vetting standards can NOT honestly claim it was Unconstitutional. If you do, your Intellectually dishonest. And THAT has been an ever growing problem with the left. They have often allowed their passions to over-ride common sense and honesty.

AND, we see that out there believe it or not. Its a big factor in why you didn't get your felon in office. So you can be angry and set fire to Berkley if you like, but that's not productive. You can also keep trying to bash Trump in all he does, but those who voted for him see you as the Party of "NO" , petty and obstructive.

As they used to say, you can either be a part of the problem or part of the solution. If I were given to any party (doesn't matter which) I think they should start by finding out the facts (rather than enrage people based on half truths), come up with objections or suggestions regarding changes, show that its not for some selfish cause and that would should smooth over alot of the immature rhetoric that has been so often slung from both directions

I'm well aware that being a Christian Supremacist, Pence is far more dangerous than even Crooked Donny. By surrounding himself with alt right nuts like Pence, Trump has shown us that he was already brainwashed by sites like Breitbart News propaganda long before the election.....his paranoid phone tap tweet makes perfect sense when you consider the alt reality he lives in.

We can only pray that Trump's madness between now and getting the Senate back doesn't lead to a global catastrophe. I'm sure there will be national outrage when the collusion is exposed, and at that point Pence will not be accepted as the new so called President. One way or another It's going to be economic and social chaos ......a lot of pain for all of us..

This is the stuff nightmares are made of, and I'm sure the rest of the world is just as worried as we are. Putin however is euphoric.

We have double standards.

Just as gender had double standards for decades. Remember back in the day ...when the chick who slept with guys was a whore, loose or easy.. The guy on the otherhand was a stud, a cool dude.

It appars the Republicans are the studs and the Democrats are the whores.

We need to fight for and be treated equally.

Lock him up, lock him up

I have a new name of Republicans: I call them RAGS, as in Rightwing American Garbage. Also, FOX News stands for Fucking Old Xenophobes.

Hi DLS (#24). Excellent question! Since no one else tackled it yet, I'll throw in two cents.

Every sentient being in this sector of the galaxy shares your sentiments except a minority party of the pale-skinned subhuman species of flying monkeys known as RepubliCONS, flitting around the subterranean regions of the North American landmass on planet Earth.

Last year, Thom had on some kind of expert on history and the Constitution who explained it, although I can't remember all the convoluted details.

The takeaway: Unfortunately, the Constitution gives wide latitude to the Senate, and McTurtle, a master manipulator who knows how to pull the legalese strings, found a way to violate the spirit of the Constitution if not the letter. Your tax dollars at "work."

Still, it was immoral and unprecedented to delay Obama's pick for almost a whole year. As an "opposition party" (McTurtle's favorite phrase back when he was Minority Leader), the Democrats should absolutely consider this a stolen seat, grow a spine, filibuster, and refuse to confirm Neil Gorsuch.

Since Merrick Garland was cynically denied a fair hearing, most Democratic voters should agree that tit for tat is highly warranted, in this case anyway. After all, "principled" intransigence certainly never hurt the Republicans politically.

Of course, McTurtle will just blow up the filibuster and get Gorsuch confirmed anyway with a simple fifty-one vote majority.

Republicons can only "win" by lying, cheating, and bending rules into pretzels. The electorate needs to have that reality etched into their collective brain.
