What Little Donnie Drumpf Really Wants

What is his endgame?  

Game plan? Goal(s)? 

World domination?  

Sainthood?  Nobel Prize?  

Ultimate Overlord?  Eminent Ruler? 

Maybe.  Who knows?  
He sure doesn't... not a clue.

For us here in America, it's this:

 

Squid Pro Row

Quid Pro Quo

We've been hearing a lot about it in the news lately in regards to Trump and The Ukraine.  Specifically, Trump holding up military aid already approved by Congress in exchange for dirt/information on Hunter & Joe Biden.

"Quid Pro Quo" is a Latin phrase meaning basically, a favor or advantage granted or expected in return for something. The "something" in this case, that information in exchange for pre-approved military aid. 

The problem, Trump and/or any president, cannot simply hold back aid and resources previously approved.
I believe the term for that action is abuse of power.

What amazes me with all of this, you just know Trump has done this hundreds, if not thousands of times over the past 35 to 40 years in his "business" dealings.  It's in quotes because it is very shady, questionable behavior.

Illegal?  In some cases, yes.

The really weird part, of course, is that Trump has done this before.  Only now he knows the name for it:
"Quid Pro Quo", something he still can't pronounce.

Unbelievable. 

Un-President-ed.

Stable Genius?

Absolute Power...

"Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Great men are almost always bad men, even when they exercise influence and not authority; still more when you superadd the tendency of the certainty of corruption by authority." -- Lord Acton

 Origin -- The Full Story

Absolute monarchies are those in which all power is given to or, as is more often the case, taken by, the monarch.  Examples of absolute power having a corrupting influence are Roman emperors (who declared themselves gods) and Napoleon Bonaparte (who declared himself an emperor).

"Absolute power corrupts absolutely" arose as part of a quotation by the expansively named John Emerich Edward Dalberg Acton, first Baron Acton (1834 - 1902). The historian and moralist, who was otherwise know as Lord Acton, expressed this opinion in a letter to Bishop Mandell Creighton in 1887:

"Power tends to corrupt, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.  Great men are almost always bad men."

 

This is how little Donny Drumpf sees her, er, HIMself.


Vanity thy name is Donald J. Trump.

All The President's Men

Déjà vu?

Open Letter To Texas Governor Greg Abbott

Dear Gov. Greg Abbott:

I read online on Sunday, September 1, 2019, that you made a statement to the effect that “I am tired of the dying,” or some similar remark, in regards to gun violence in Texas and/or gun violence in general.

1. No, you aren’t, Greg.  You really aren’t.  Not yet at least.
2. Why do people need assault weapons, capable of shoot multiple rounds per minute?
3. “Praying” for the dying to stop… seriously??? 
4. Why don’t you, as governor of Texas actually step up, and put forth some legislation regarding assault weapon bans, limited rounds per clip, and responsible gun registration for ALL gun owners?  Where is the accountability on the part of gun owners in Texas?  Where is it, Greg?
5. NO ONE is talking about “taking weapons from cold, dead hands.” NO ONE, Greg.  Likewise, NO ONE is suggesting that, only strengthening existing gun laws and further accountability.
6. And c’mon, Greg, you know as well as anyone, there is zero correlation between mental health issues and mass shootings.  If you truly, honestly and seriously aren’t aware of that, please, for your constituents, WAKE UP.  Texans deserve better than you.

And when you come to your senses, and wake up, step away from the NRA and President Trump. 

What will it take, Gov. Abbott?  A death in YOUR family? 

Hope you had a great Labor Day!

Why Are Republicans So Slow Regarding Trump?

Why Is It Taking Republicans So Long 
To Figure Out Who Donald Trump REALLY Is?

It amazes me how easy it is for Republicans/Right Wingers/Conservatives/some Evangelicals to look the other way, turn the other cheek, simply walk away and even try to defend Donald Trump.   

Simply astonishing!

Have they just forgotten all of his lies, backroom deals, and shady behaviors over the past 4 decades?   

Have they been asleep at the wheel?  Unconscious? Or just flat-out stupid?

Granted, no, not ALL of Trump’s past behaviors have been illegal, but most have been highly questionable.  (“I never settle a lawsuit.” – Yeah, he does. Regularly.)

More and more of them, Republicans, are either

a) leaving the Republican party, 

b) leaving politics altogether, 

c) leaving Washington D.C., 

d) switching parties to become Democrats (Yay for that!), or 

e) speaking out against him… finally.

And this wasn’t an overnight Exodus either.  

It was a very slow moving train, sort of like an old, ancient white Bronco caravan fleeing town via the L.A. freeway.

But again, why now? 

Yes, rhetorical questions obviously, but maybe something to examine in more depth?

It just really looks like Republicans haven’t been paying attention to their God, er, um, Trump.
