put this into the somewhat rant category.... but it's how I see this.
In
the last couple years one of the give-up things was politics. Pretty
much Apolitical. The republican stalemate against President Obama was
just a dreary tiring slow death watching our country pass into 2nd
world/ nation status, approaching 3rd world status in some poverty
areas. We're still a superpower militarily wise, but in statistics the
USA is waaaaaaay back in too many areas. ... ie... low childbirth rate,
slow internet speeds, poverty rate, highest health care costs, ect...
The
USA could have accomplished many good and some great things all to
benefit our citizens, but noooooooo. The republican leadership was so
mad after loosing to him their "goal was to make him a one term
President". Party 1st, country last; Thank you republicans! Very little
legislation from Congress in 8 years. Voting down Obamacare some 40+
times. Guys,... Obamacare was a republican idea/ program, modeled after
Mitts Massachusetts state health care plan. ... And you are against it
... ?because the black President won the election and you don't like
it?
Talk
about pouting when you don't get your way. That's your choice to run
the republican party that way, but it's a really ineffective way to run a
country. The obstructionist party. ?Hows that working out for you as Dr
phil would say?
The
republicans are so screwed up that I began watching politics again for
the last couple years. I couldn't believe the republicans are that
stupid but they are. The republicans are more stupid than stupid could
be. I couldn't help but watch. THIS IS Entertainment. I can't buy a
ticket to see something this stupid.
I
watched the last 35 years starting with Reagan in 1980 of the most
assassin dumb ass clowns and their minions, their henchmen,... believe
me you don't spout the republican party line; you are out.
Ridiculous
policies like "trickle down economics". At speaking forums Reagan had
an index card that said "Thank you all for coming". Bush 1/ Sr was
amazed at a supermarket grocery scanner. Reagan didn't know how to order
a McDonalds hamburger; talk about being removed from reality these guys
were the original Dumb and Dumber. The national debt quadrupled under
Reagan, from 2 to 8 trillion dollars. Bush Sr even said Reaganomics was
"voodoo economics" and he quickly swallowed the republican [communist]
party position and stayed on the team.
"Trickle down economics" was not the beginning of dismantling the USA, but it was full throttle from then on.
and
take all the other republican party policies like repealing the
Glass-Stegall act, overreacting by forming the TSA, cutting food stamps
to families with children (a LOT of enlisted servicemens families with
children draw food stamps), voting no against almost every Veterans
legislation, ---- and see how they've punished the country.
Then
Junior, Bush 2,... asleep at the wheel for the 9-11 twin towers attack
takes down the tailaban in a couple months -- GOOD! that was where the
gang that attacked us was -- then,... with no thought out plan because
he was such a wimp like Dad and wanted to prove his manhood bravado,
lies us into a war on WMD, invades the wrong country, gets some 7,000 US
Veterans killed, another 50,000+ wounded, destabilizes the whole Middle
East into collapse and chaos,... in essence starting a holy war with
Islam that may last a century, didn't even know the difference between
Shia and Sunni, has cost the USA - to date- some 5 trillion dollars and
what do we have to show for it; absolutely nothing, except a collapsed
economy. ... and created ISIS. There was NO ISIS until the Bush junior
aftermath.
To
follow that the republicans run McCain, I like McCain, could have voted
for him, but, the republicans didn't have enough stupid so they put
Palin - maybe the dumbest woman I've ever heard - as VP. No leadership
in the republican party stepped in and put their foot down; NO! We don't
let fringe, uneducated, no nothings represent us and have the
microphone on the stage. They let it ride.
That
just encouraged Mitt, silver spoon Mitt, phony ass Mitt, car elevator
in the garage Mitt and lightweight Ryan to continue the republican
stupidity all the while blocking any progress proposed for the country.
Talk about playing the fiddle while Rome/ the USA burns.
Chickenhawks
= republican conservatives that talk real tough about strong military/
defense, war, attacking/ bombing and have never served in the military,
and in fact... other than McCain... all republican conservatives dodged
the draft to evade military service. They have never stood a post, but
they'll send your children to unnecessary war in a heartbeat, to "send a
message"; Hey, republicans, don't use our kids for your bravado.
Jump
ahead a couple years and the republicans put up 16 of their best and
brightest (and it was a sad lot with the likes of con men frauds like
Walker and Perry and JEB! who distanced his own family name -- 100
million $$ for 6 votes) for the 2016 nomination and they went right past
go, right to super stupid. The republican chairmen allowed 16 of the
party leaders to form a circular firing squad for some 12 debates.
?Who's idea was that?
It
was wonderful to watch these 16 has been and also-rans to trash each
other; it was entertainment. I couldn't buy entertainment this good. I
popped popcorn.
And
in the 16 wannabees that couldn't collectively run a McDonalds, the
extra one, not a politician, not even sure he's a republican, ... The
Donald, Trump! literally tears all 16 to shreds (of course disarming
these intellectual lightweights was not that difficult of a task) with
ease.
Trump
dismantled each and every one of these bush league for the two bit
hustler con men hypocrite slimeballs they were; I'm not fascinated that
Trump did it, I'm fascinated that that it didn't require any hard work
and was fairly easy to point out how stupid each was.
So
the republicans now have a presidential nominee that is not really a
republican. Trump is not even a politician. He's a businessman. Trump
looses the election, he goes right back to making billions the next day -
at a higher per diem rate now!
?Could
Trump win? Bush jr didn't win and he was President for 8 long, lost,
wandering years with no guilty concisense. The only thin junior did
right in 8 years was clear some brush.
But it's so much fun to watch the decline of the republican party.
The
only thing better would have to put all 17 in a cage, all wearing
Ronald Reagan masks, and let them fight it out. We just witnessed the
verbal version of this.
And
the final word on this... I've heard this republican think tank mantra/
creed that they "want to shrink the government down to where they can
drown it in a bathtub". ?Is that the most stupid thought ever?
I
like government. You know... I like clean water. I like the FAA guys up
in the tower when my plane is landing. I like streets without potholes.
I like the National Parks, AND the Federal forest service parks, and
State Parks...
When
you cut a country back to where there is no functional government...
?Do you know what that country looks like? ; that country is Somalia!
these
republican thinkers don't have a clue as to how to run a country. If
they are beaten in this election... I say good riddance.
We'll
see what happens in the elections. The media has it like bookies down
to a 49% to 49% toss up. It could be a jump ball unless someone messes
up or an October surprise.
****
post
thought... ?what if Trump does win? The White House attorneys will tell
him what he can and can't do, but mostly bully pulpit which he's good
at. 1st time he orders the Generals to do an illegal act and they
refuse... he'll fire them. Then... possible the Generals relieve him of
command= a coup... & we;ll see. Possible, not probable.
*******
Update: Well... the voters spoke... and we have a new President elect. I'll follow the Dave Chappell request... Let's give the man a chance... before we make any judgments. We'll see. The republicans didn't give President Obama a chance; not one day. First day they declared to make him a 1 term President; nice chance guys.
But a lifetime of experience has witnessed when inept amatures have control of the wheel of government. Bush junior and team were asleep at the wheel and then tried bravado of going into Iraq to cover up how inept his team was. "We'll be greeted as liberators". Yeah... didn't quite pan out like you thought. Those bad decisions led to the most terrible foreign policy disaster in American history. 3 trillion dollars and what do we have to show for it? ISIS; Thank you Bush/ Cheney.
I don't know if the Trump bunch can top the Iraq disaster but eliminate medicare and cut social security and destroy a generation of people and we'll see how you fare.
The government is NOT a business; it's about people. ... "We the people" , not the shareholders meeting.
These are interesting times. The republican party is in chaos. A man that's not really a republican won the republican primary, and I don't think he's going to forgive all those that didn't back him.
the democrats are just as lost. ... more than ever.
The end of "our" era is here. This will be what we make it. Get some popcorn; this is going to be interesting!
You never drink twice from the same stream.

more update; about 2 weeks now 'til we see this trainwreck start. And it is forming up as a trainwrick. Cabinet people that want to shut down their depts. energy, EPA,,, ect. Cut Medicare and Social Security are priorities; Greece tried this "Austerity" budget last year; pensions cut 40% overnight; riots.
Last year said I was going to vote for who would fuck up this country the fastest. You know, take it down and clean out to hit bottom; just like the business guys... then rebuild and get it on a start over. I thin we've got our boy!
Don't know when... but there will be a major screw up.... the spotlight will be on the chair/ hotseat to explain.... look for the steel balls/ ball bearings to come out and start rolling them in his hand. get some popcorn,
