Trump may be an arrogant jerk, but I like it. Actions matter

By 2015 every single prominent conservative had figured out that no matter what they say or do that they are going to be branded as a racist, sexist, bigoted, homophobic, transphobic piece of garbage who wants to poison the environment, take healthcare away from poor people, and return the world to the dark age.

Those have not changed one iota.

In the Trump era we have added Nazi, sheep, cult follower, snowflake, seditious confederate supporter or seditious Putin supporter whose opinions are hate speech and who should have no free speech rights. Seditious is quite the difference from “too patriotic” pre Trump.

He and the see no evil hear no evil congressional supporters, talk/cable news hosts are causing or speeding up greatly the “conservative” movement to a dispised smaller and smaller minority. For the next 10, 20 years any argument for non progressive or regressive left positions will easily be dismissed by the majority of population with some version of “but Trump”. That is bad, a country needs a diversity of ideas.

Trump is sending hundreds of billions worth of armaments to the Saudis for their genocidal war in Yemen. In August of last year, Saudi jets struck a bus killing 40 Yemeni children. When the wreckage was uncovered, the MK-82 bombs that destroyed the bus were traced back to the US defence contractor, Lockheed Martin.

So there it is liberals. If you want to condemn Trump don't look in the shadows. Look in plain sight. That is what true power does, true power doesn't hide anything, it f***s us over in plain sight.

I am not expecting this to persuade people. But the scandal is concrete and that is what is effective. If Conservatives heard about it, the vast majority would still be Trump supporters, but a majority or plurality of them would also likely say "Wow that is bad. Trump shouldn't be doing that." And to focus on this would draw attention to one of the worst humanitarian crises facing the world, and alert the World to all those in need.


The Houthi Flag literally says "Allah is greater. Death to America. Death to Israel. Curse upon the Jews. Victory to Islam."

They're not really going to garner much sympathy in America with that message. Hopefully the conflict will come to an end soon.

This is the thing about Trump: he doesn't "tell it like it is", he tells American as*holes exactly what they all secretly want to hear and convinces them that it's OK to be an as*hole just like him. He appeals to all the bigots in this country and meanwhile he's probably sitting in the white house's bathroom wiping his ass with $20 bills while we have people in this country who are working their asses off while living on foodstamps and are too broke to afford going to the hospital because he and his supporters are determined to keep healthcare so damn expensive here.

Americans need to get a clue because he's bad news!

Oh and taking away disability benefits and making the poor even poorer is NOT going to fix our economy.

And rich people don't give a damn about helping their country or anybody else. That's exactly WHY they are rich.
