Trump’s Strategy of Lies and Division Work for Him, but How About the Rest of Us?

Last updated on: November 1, 2018 at 9:32 am By Susan Wright

The efforts to reform Donald Trump into a reasonable, rational, decent human being are failing. Ok. I’m kidding. I don’t even know that anybody around him has made the effort. We certainly can’t count on his evangelical “spiritual advisers” to hold him to account, and according to Trump, his supporters are as reprobate and vile, adverse to the truth, while reveling in chaos and attacks on others, as he is. Don’t get mad at me, Trumpsters. He said it. In... Read more

CNN Host Makes Racially Biased Remark, so Will He Be Held Accountable?

Last updated on: October 31, 2018 at 1:29 pm By Susan Wright

Should we go ahead and start the betting pool, in regards to CNN anchor, Don Lemon, and whether he, or anyone in an executive position with the company will walk back Lemon’s incredibly callous, hateful, racist statement on Monday? This went beyond race baiting. If what is uttered from the mouth is from the wellspring of our hearts, then Don Lemon is simply a racist and there is no place in this nation for racial hatred. Isn’t that what we’re... Read more

UPDATE: Alt-Right Hucksters Behind Sex Assault Accusations of Robert Mueller Uncovered

Last updated on: October 30, 2018 at 4:56 pm By Susan Wright

I’m doing a quick update on my previous article, in regards to an attempt to discredit and smear special counsel Robert Mueller. As I previously wrote, Mueller has turned over a case to the FBI that involves an attempt to pay women to make false claims of sexual harassment or abuse against him. One woman has come forward to connect the attempts to Jack Burkman, a rightwing radio personality, conspiracy theorist, and GOP lobbyist. According to the woman cited in... Read more

Alt-Right Conspiracy Theorist Looks to Harness #MeToo Movement Against Special Counsel Mueller

Last updated on: October 31, 2018 at 4:10 pm By Susan Wright

Now things are getting interesting. You know, I am continuously in awe of the hypocrisy of the MAGA stormtroopers, who will point to the tactics of the left, in outrage, while they’re secretly taking notes, in order to use the same tactics, when it is to their advantage. I have said, and will continue to believe that the #MeToo movement began with noble purpose, but because of politics and disingenuous scheming, it was perverted and twisted into a weapon. Its...

Trump Prepared to Change Key Section of 14th Amendment of Constitution by Executive Order

Last updated on: October 31, 2018 at 4:05 pm By Susan Wright

I have an entire box of pocket Constitutions. If I have to send one to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, I will. Seriously. Somebody needs to make the effort. At the very least, can we get somebody to make colorful flash cards that will teach Donald Trump the laws of the nation he was elected to represent? For Trump supporters, who fancy themselves true patriots, warriors of the Constitution, yadda yadda yadda… I have to ask, had Obama decided to use an... Read more

New Lawsuit Alleges Investment Fraud Against Trump, the Trump Organization

Last updated on: October 31, 2018 at 4:06 pm By Susan Wright

On the same day President Trump called the Democrat nominee for governor of Florida, Andrew Gillum, a “thief,” the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York makes a more tangible move to that effect against Trump and his three oldest children. Yeah. Irony. No, I’m not endorsing Gillum. Yuck. Specifically, prosecutors have filed a suit against the president, as well as Donald Trump Jr, Eric Trump, and Ivanka Trump, claiming they defrauded vulnerable consumers, convincing them to...

After a Week of Troubles, Trump Pumps up the Rhetoric

Last updated on: October 31, 2018 at 4:04 pm By Susan Wright

This nation is in trouble. And let’s be honest – not just the nation, but the world, as a whole, has gone spiraling off the tracks of sanity and goodness, for a long time. But let’s just address what has happened to our beloved United States, for now. In the last week, we’ve seen hate rear up and do so much damage in our land. On Wednesday, 51 year old Gregory Bush entered a Kroger grocery store in Jeffersontown, Kentucky... Read more

The MAGA Bomber Is Caught, and He’s in BIG Trouble

Last updated on: October 26, 2018 at 5:05 pm By Susan Wright

Florida man is in deep trouble. So, at this point, you’ve probably heard plenty about the individual apprehended today, in connection to a rash of potentially explosive devices that were mailed to various Democrats, or those perceived to be “anti-Trump.” No, I didn’t get one. Law enforcement, following the tell-tale signatures of the various packages tracked down the suspect to Florida, and by late morning on Friday, they’d swooped in and arrested 56 year old Cesar Sayoc, from Aventura, Florida....

More Suspicious Packages, and Now, a Suspect in Custody

Last updated on: October 26, 2018 at 12:18 pm By Susan Wright

There are several hot garbage takes circulating, in regards to the recent rash of potentially explosive devices being mailed to various politicians or political figures. One is that liberals are probably sending the devices to themselves, in order to invigorate their base going into the midterm election. The other is that none of the devices has gone off, yet, therefore, they weren’t meant to go off. They’re simply a “political statement.” The proper take is to A) not say things... Read more

Trump Admin Blocks Full Congress From Seeing Intel on North Korea

Is it ok to be disgusted, yet? Never mind. I’ll start without you. For those of us who have, shall we say, a less critical eye towards this reality TV presidency, this is just going to be one more thing that gets excused away. He fights! He’s owning the libs! MAGA! For those of us who haven’t lived on a steady diet of fast food, paint chips, and meth, it’s troublesome, to say the least. So let’s get to the... Read more
