Pro-Sex Assault, Anti-Condom, Anti-Abortion
Trump and Kavanaugh
Contradiction abounds among too many Republican leaders of the male persuasion.
These men are anti-abortion yet fight against contraception — the most effective means of preventing one.
Or they are anti-abortion until they want their partners to get one.
Or they engage in sexual assault even while acting to prevent women and girls from accessing abortion should they be impregnated by such a horrifying act.
It all sounds contradictory. But patriarchy ties it all altogether. Read the rest of this entry

Republicans Crave Chaos?
Republican in chaos
Republican voters backed right-wing libertarians like Rand Paul, Ron Paul and Thomas Massie of Kentucy, NOT because they liked their libertarian ideas. No:
They were voting for the craziest son of a bitch in the race — and Donald Trump won best in class.
That’s what Rep. Massie says he came to realize about the people who voted him into office. Read the rest of this entry

A Wall To Keep Them Out? Or Hold Us In?
Trump and Bannon. Populists? Or dictator wannabes?
I voted for Clinton but when Trump won I thought, “At least he’s a populist” and hoped he would at least help working people.
But over time I’ve worried more and more since he is looking pretty UNpopulist: Read the rest of this entry

Supreme Court Nominee Renders Us Voiceless
Big money drowns out our voices.
Most Trump voters supported him because they felt voiceless.
And the truth is that our government mostly listens to the moneyed elite and ignores the rest of us.

Fake news?
It’s confusing. Read the rest of this entry

Trump, Egocentrism and Morality
Is America morphing into Soviet-style “what aboutism”?
Is America losing its moral grounding?
Is there no longer any difference between US and Soviet-style morality?
When asked if Vladimir Putin’s killing bothered him (he’s murdered political enemies for instance) Donald Trump retorted,
What, you think our country’s so innocent?

The Wealthy Trump The Working Class
Trump’s first Labor nominee, Andrew Puzder, sought starvation wages.
When Donald Trump won the Presidency I worried. I didn’t like his sexism and racism. Or his temperament.
But I saw one sliver lining. At least he was a populist.

Winning Isn’t Everything, Donald
Donald Trump as a boy.
When Donald Trump was a little boy his dad told him – on a regular basis – that the world is divided into winners and losers, and the Trumps were winners.
Little Donald seems to have taken the lesson to heart. He has striven to prove his winning ways to himself and to everyone else all his life.

Please Take Away His Twitter
Uh, that should be thumbs down on Tweeting Trump.
I’m too tired to wait for final election results so I’m posting my blog with the expectation of very bad news in the morning.
I “get” the electorate’s impulse to lob a Molotov cocktail into a dysfunctional system that serves only the elite.

Why Would My Friends Vote Trump?
Vote!
Most of my friends can’t understand why anyone would vote for Trump.
Some of my other friends are actually voting for him.
Since I have a hard time getting my head around this I asked them why. Here’s what they said:
