Here’s how to define Donald Trump: Trump is the intersection where all the con-artists, sleaze-bags, petty criminals, anti-democracy thugs, white evangelical losers and delusional racist fanatics on the planet met and fell in love with each other.
Question: Is there ANY low-rent moron scum Trump is NOT working with or for?
From the backward woman-torturing murdering Saudi “prince” to Putin (the world’s sleaziest loser/murderer Trump fan), to the National Enquirer national head lice, to evangelical gay-bashing loons Mike Pence, Jerry Falwell Jr., Franklin Graham and Ralph Reed— Trump sucks up to the creepiest creeps on the planet.
Meanwhile, Republican lawmakers side with Trump: climate change is a fabrication and nothing matters but the ruthless extraction of fossil fuel energy. Trump is doing exactly what Republicans want him to do. Thus in 2020 saving the planet and destroying the Republicans are the same thing.
So…
Here’s the best thing that’s happened to America in 50 years:
· Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and the Sunrise Movement’s push for a Green New Deal, a radical re-imagining of how we consume energy to confront the climate catastrophe ahead, is gaining support among mainstream Democrats.
· Here’s why the GOP must be destroyed: Millions of acres of public land have been opened up to fossil fuel and mining interests since Trump took office. Regulations on the oil industry have been cut as new lands and waters are exposed to dangerous drilling.
Maybe the Trump Sleaze Factor is a way Trump and his Republicans will finally be brought down and the planet saved. Ronan Farrow, investigative reporter at HBO and the New Yorker tweeted: “I and at least one other prominent journalist involved in breaking stories about the National Enquirer’s arrangement with Trump fielded similar ‘stop digging or we’ll ruin you’ blackmail efforts from AMI.”
“Of course I don’t want personal photos published, but I also won’t participate in their well-known practice of blackmail, political attacks, and corruption. I prefer to stand up, roll this log over, and see what crawls out,” Jeff Bezos’ wrote. His courage may bring Trump down.
David Pecker, American Media’s chairman has a longstanding allegiance to Trump. Of course he does! A scum reality TV star mobster and a scum dirty little tabloid tattler belong together like excrement and toilet paper. What’s less obvious is why evangelical leaders support them.
How did Trump manage to gather all the sleaziest loser slime-balls to himself? Roger Stone, AMI’s National Enquirer David J. Pecker, Roy Moore, Jerry Falwell Jr., Mike-hate-gays-Pence, Paul Manafort, Putin, money-laundering Ivanka. What a crew!
But maybe just maybe the attempted blackmail of Bezos will be to Trump what the Watergate break-in became to Nixon—a “minor annoyance” that became the major unraveling. Here’s hoping for the sake of our planet!
Trump will regret the day he was stupid enough to become president. His unexpected, undeserved, absurd ascent is delivering long-overdue accountability for him and his sleazy associates. And that is going to be the history books’ final biblical-style-justice word on Trump’s fall.

Dear Frank Schaeffer:
Fifteen minutes before Donald Trump was speak at a rally in the border town of El Paso, TX, Senate leaders announced that the Democrats and Republicans reached a deal to avert another government shutdown.
By this agreement, the Democrat Party capitulation to Trump’s fascistic agenda is complete.
As news reports have it:
–> $1.4 billion in funding for a steel wall
–> No lowering of the cap on the total number of immigrants who can be detained on any given night.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez is already exposed as another pseudo-left talking but zero conviction stool of capitalism’s rush to barbarism.
The best thing in 50 years happened Saturday when more than 100 workers demonstrated at GM HQ in Detroit Michigan. Their slogans included
“Same struggle, same fight! Workers of the world, unite!”; “Detroit, Oshawa, Lordstown, we won’t let them shut you down!”; and “Wage cuts and job losses! The union’s working with the bosses!”
“No layoffs! No concessions! Fight GM plant closings,”
“No more givebacks! This is where concessions stop,”
“Fight against the corporate-controlled UAW,”
“Fight for workers control over the factories,”
“Fight for socialism! Social need, not private profit.”
In the period ahead, these slogans will be taken up by tens of millions.
They will be directed by worker chosen rank and file committees.
They will refuse recognition to the Democrat controlled unions.
For a year and a half, I have called you to rally to the worker’s side.
This, Frank, you steadfastly refused to do. You had your chance.
And you threw it away; you blew it!
So be it, Frank Schaeffer.
Caving on the wall, Democrats begrudgingly take their place beside their ugly Republican cousins whom they resemble more ever day — the wall being only the latest wart on the Democrat face.
The Democrat Party forfeits the future!
The Democrat Party forfeits the right to govern!
The Democrat Party forfeits worker allegiance!
The Democrat Party is the Republican iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove.
NO to Republicans!
NO to Democrats!
NO to Capitalism!
NO to Barbarism!
YES to Socialism!
YES to Society!
YES to Peace!
YES to Democracy!
Epiphany Blessings!
EH? Your ideas are doomed to fail. The blind leading the blind. Both fall into the ditch.
EH? Your logic implodes on itself.
Dear Frank Schaeffer:
Dear Frank Schaeffer:
Any serious measure to end climatge change — let alone assure a job and livable wage to everyone — requires a massive wealth redistribution and reallocation of trillions currently spent on US imperialism’s neo-colonial wars.
Left rhetoric notwithstanding — Ocasio-Cortez’ record excludes any encroachment on ruling class ill-gotten fortunes.
Instead, she embraces Regan/Bush vocab of ‘entrepreneurship’ and ‘labor market flexibility and entrepreneurism.’ That is, the ability to hire/fire at will.
Ocasio-Cortez is a political fraud. For endorsing her, so are you. And remember …
The Democrat Party is the Republican iron fist wrapped in a velvet glove.
Epiphany Blessings!
Talk about bizzare. Mass confusion and delusion.
Other comments reveal a damaging aspect of many on the Left–the refusal, or misunderstanding, of the concept of compromise which is the thing most people have criticized Republicans for; is the thing that stops all forward progress no matter whether it’s government, politics, marital relations, or bazaar price-haggling; and the thing that most exposes the utter ignorance of How The World Works.
It shows that people don’t understand that time is required to change minds—do they remember the years of struggle to bring about Civil Rights advances? Do they know that the ERA is STILL crawling its way toward ratification—after over 40 years?
People seem to be so accustomed to a TV-type 30-minute resolution to the most threatening and difficult conundrums that they have lost all touch with the reality of the time it takes to negotiate, re-align, talk things over, find necessary evidence, etc.
Such people are almost as dangerous as Republicans, because the level of their lack of sophistication regarding what it takes to get something done creates a deadly lack of solidarity.
I’m 100% in favor of disagreements, and of arguing a point—with proper fact and comprehensive delivery, but to condemn people whose methods and means you don’t understand, simply because they aren’t doing it your (very flawed) way is never productive. The opposite.
These people are a danger to the Cause.
Dear G. S. Stewart:
Yet it is precisely ‘compromise’ which has brought us where we are!
1] The Right takes a hard-line, reactionary stand.
2] The pseudo-left ‘compromises’ in a rightward direction.
3] Return to # 1.
We’ve seen it for years and on every issue. And it’s too obvious NOT to be an accepted stratagem.
Compromise is not relevant. Any ‘compromise’ in today’s environment shifts the entire spectrum ever further to the right.
NEEDED is a SEPARATE, a completely INDEPENDENT movement that enters the political process with its OWN agenda.
I submit that the entire ruling class is terrified of precisely this.
Let it be.
Epiphany blessings!
