THE MIRACLE DIDN'T OCCUR, AGAIN! SO NOW THAT IT APPEARS THE DEAL IS DONE, ALL I CAN DO IS HOPE I'M WRONG, AND THE END ISN'T AS NEAR AS I FEAR

And guess what, it turns out the Electorate College wasn't our last hope, there's yet another way to end a Trump Presidency before it even begins.  

SO IT WAS ALL A GAME! Turns out all the talk about the Electorate College voters flipping their picks and ending a Donald Trump presidency went out the window. Instead of simply voting in Hillary Clinton and ending our misery, or changing the vote in enough ballots to make Congress have to decide. I would have gladly accepted whomever they choose now and worry about whom it is, once I finally have a good nights sleep again. Instead what we got were a bunch of people who decided to make statements and pretty much screwed up their one big opportunity to really make history. At least the good kind. A bunch of Bernie fans voted for him in protest against Hillary, and a bunch of Republicans wasted theirs. Seems whatever doubts and fears that any of these voters had, were thrown out the door. Whatever his negatives were, his properties, his taxes, his family, his Russian connections, his comments, his sexual habits and all his possible illegalities, weren't important. Lets disregard everything and just go with the flow. In this crazy year of firsts, we finally have a candidate that their powers were created for, especially in a year where the Popular vote was won by nearly three million votes by the loser in the Electorate College. But no, seems like all of the other scenarios that were also concocted to stop Donald Trump from being sworn in, like this one were just fantasies. Just dreams that were simply camouflaging the pain that some of the followers of the losing candidate, Hillary Clinton were feeling. Well at least what I was feeling, I shouldn't speak for others. That being said, I might be alone in thinking that each glimmer of hope that possibly would have possibly stopped the inevitable presidency of Donald J. Trump has been one big tease. Either easing the pain I was feeling or simply twisting the knife into me. The feelings of fear, loss, death, even the possible end of our Democracy and our world as we know it may just be me spouting off, flipping the bird to what occurred. Perhaps in my heart, I know, that my way of dealing with it may just be my imagination playing games with me. But that doesn't make any of my fears not less real to me.

I do realize that what I've written off and on, especially since Donald's tenure in the White House became closer and closer to reality makes me sound more and more like a conspiracy nut. Exactly like the ones I much make fun of all the time. Like my latest interesting footnote to this years election. Either this is an ironic twist to this years campaign or a frightening coincidence. As I have brought up from time to time, besides Donald's Alt-right leanings and his love for the Russian leader, Trump has scarily been associated too much with Nazi propaganda. Well something I read yesterday put an eerie stamp on the Electorate College vote, which kind of puts everything in perspective to me and makes me even more nervous. Yesterday was December 19, 2016, the day Donald J. Trump won the final and most important vote and his election became official. Well decades a go, a certain Nazi took command of the German army, and guess what the date was? That's right, December 19th, 1941! After all we've witnessed this year, lets add that to the rubble of history being spat on. To discover that on December 19, 1941, Adolf Hitler took command of the German army! Just saying I find it pretty ironic, that the powers that be would make the anniversary of a pretty bad thing the same day as what could become our nation's last swearing in.

So am I nuts? Is my eventual acceptance into a mental ward, being foreshadowed by my nonacceptance of the presidency of Donald J Trump? Is my seriously coming off as a loony because I believe the zany notion that our future President could be blowing Vladimir, or that Trumps pocket book will grow by billions once he takes the reigns of our nations purse strings. Kellyanne Conway I'm sorry, every time, this twisted soulless traitor comes out and demands that we bow down to her leader, all I say to myself and to anyone who agrees with her is 'Birth certificate'! You want respect, stick it up your asses. I'll make a deal to all the Trumpeters, I'll give Donald as much respect as he's given President Barack Obama. That is before he didn't need him to explain everything from A- Z about how to be the President, to actually do the job. Its been approximately eight years of disrespect, so in other words in about eight years, I might begin to begin to respect him. Maybe, if he actually does a good job and doesn't destroy us, and I do mean all of us, then maybe I might. But remember I haven't mentioned everything else he's done. Boy, I might have to think on my agreement… this could take a while… of note, I wouldn't hold my breath if I was you.

But believe it or not, with all that said, there is actually a glimmer of hope, I can report. It seems today Donald Trump was ordered by a Judge to testify under oath in a case which Donald brought on against two Chefs for cancelling their restaurant deals with Trump. You see, after Donald's racist Mexican comments, you know the ones where 'all of them were either rapists, drug users, or murderers, and of course some of them were cool' made the world scream and shout. That God awful day when he announced he was running for President. Well these two chefs announced they were cancelling the deals because of his vile comments. So, Donald being the arrogant egotistical fellow that he is, decided to sue them for breaking their contracts. How dare they! So the Judge in the case, ordered Donald to swear on a bible and to answer some questions under oath. Ta da! There it is. Right there, this could be the answer to all of our prayers.  Believe it or not. This in fact is how The Donald could be dethroned. Sounds far fetched, I know, but other giants have been defeated by things of a similar nature. Al Capone was imprisoned for tax evasion, not for any of his criminal activities. So why shouldn't Donald Trump be taken down a peg when he has to answer questions under oath in a court room? I'm sure there will be a limit to the type of questions asked. But I've seen enough trials both fictional, recreated for television, as well as documentary footage to know that even with restrictions to what is allowed to be asked, something could possibly lead to shall we say incriminating answers. That in the end could actually force our now official President-elect to step down. Which might lead to the perfect ending to our story with Trump. Donald spending his last days in a prison cell. 

Of course none of this fantasy is possible if Donald decides to drop the lawsuits. Simply cancel the suits, end the saga and get on to bigger things. In the end, I presume that will be what he does. Much like his settlement with the Trump University lawsuits which ended a possible political nightmare for our next commander-in-chief. Ending these lawsuit before it goes any further would appear to be the right way to go. But, we are talking Donald, and we are talking massive ego. So what if Trump now enveloped in his recent presidential victory aura, perhaps now thinks he can do no wrong? That whatever is thrown at him good or bad he can get past. Anyone who has witnessed the last two years knows what Donald has been able to deflect and in fact prosper from. So lets just ponder he decides to not listen to everyone and sits his ass down in court and puts his hand down on that sacred bible. Which as he has proudly stated on more then one occasion is his favorite book. So if Donald's hand or the bible doesn't burst into flames and if he does actually swear under oath to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, then we might see if his racist commentaries were just political mumble jumble or is Trump really a racist. We could find out about Donald's hiring practises, perhaps the way he really deals with women. The questions and answers my mind is coming up with make this latest victory by the Trump campaign a little more palatable. But, like the rest of the maybes, I'll believe it when I see it. As of now the reality of a Trump Presidency has begun to sink in, I just hope my anxieties are just something I ate, and I wake up tomorrow and somehow our next President hasn't done something that starts the final countdown.

UNBELIEVABLY, IT SEEMS MITCH WANTS TO LEAD THE INQUIRY INTO RUSSIA'S PARTICIPATION IN OUR ELECTION…

Plus: Hoping Electoral College voters really think before they cast their fateful ballots. No pressure, but Democracy is literally in your hands!

TALK ABOUT A JOKE AND A HALF, lets have the man who could be part of the problem deciding if the problem actually existed. Makes sense, why not have Mitch McConnell who many believe aided and abated Vladimir Putin running the inquiry. Yes, lets have the man who has proudly talked about stopping anything and everything President Barack Obama would do since before our President was sworn in, and pretty much did just that, overseeing the inquiry into whether or not someone did something, shall we say treasonous. Which helped the worst candidate in possibly our countries history get elected our next President. Mitch McConnell, made it his business to make sure President Barack Obama would only be a one term President, and when that failed, it seems when the republicans couldn't get  his treasonous ambitions accomplished, its possible that he and his Republican traitors, in collusion with Vladimir Putin did just that. Helping to elect our next American President, Donald J. Trump, who only happens to be planning on destroying every action that President Barack Obama did while in office. How in heaven could anyone in their right minds, entrust McConnell in being nonpartisan in his quest? 

So is Mitch trying to do what he promised from day one, except this time after the fact? This kind of reminds me of The Flash television series. This season, the storyline is entitled Flashpoint, our hero, at the end of last season, after finally defeating the bad guy, against all obvious reasons, decides to go back in time and changes things for his own personal reasons. In this storyline, its to save his mother, which one might think is a good thing. But once he does that, as is the case whenever someone changes history in every story I've ever read or watched, it turns out that action causes ramifications that changes everything. If not obvious at first, but the old Butterfly effect hits hard. Sound familiar? Seems to me Mitch wants to erase the progress that President Barack Obama did, and like lots of Republicans, wants to erase the very notion that he we even had a President Barack Obama at all. Donald Trump pretty much began his political career trying to make our President an illegal alien, in other words, not legit, not real, eventually never happened. Simply a blip in our history. 

Perhaps if Mitch gets his way, actually works his magic, like he did when he talked his way into having the Russian hacking hidden till after the election results was settled. What gets me in all this is, I could understand any of this if President Barack Obama was a bad President or was an idiot or a failure. Was anything near as terrible as the Republicans have tried to say he was or turn him into. Perhaps if he was a Kenyan spy or foreign agent, had had had multiple affairs, broke a few laws or even cursed once in a while. Anything? Or worse, if he had turned out to be the next George Walker Bush. But he wasn't. By all accounts, record wise, President Barack Obama unless everything is erased, including those of us who remember what the man actually accomplished while in office,  the man will eventually be considered one of, if not the greatest President ever.

As for Monday's, excuse me, tomorrow's, big maybe final nail into Hillary's Presidency, I have mixed feeling about it.  You know the thing that's been on everyone minds since Donald Trump lost the popular vote, but won the Electoral College. Especially as that popular vote lead has grown to almost 3 million voters. This vote, was after the recounts, and before Inauguration Day, our last best hope to stop what now seems inevitable. But even if Electoral College voters take away Donald Trumps winning number, stopping our worst nightmare from becoming real, who knows whom the Republicans would choose to become our next president. I mean sadly the options, though better then Donald, all have problems, that almost would make you lonesome for Trump once he's replaced, that is if he's replaced at all. Wouldn't that be a kick in the pants if they chose Donald Trump in the end, wouldn't that be a real kick in the ass by the haters. And now, look whose gonna be running the asylum, and look whose possibly pulling the strings.

That is unless somehow they all flip and give it to Hillary Clinton. Making history and righting the wrong that some of us believe these treasonous traitors actually pulled off. That is if that latest conspiracy is real as the FBI and CIA has announced. Of course Donald Trump thinks some fat 400 pound loser is actually doing the hacking, so you can believe him. Funny, maybe if the man actually would go to his briefings, this important Intel, you know about Russian hacking, would be something he might actually know something about. Just saying. Unless Donny is in on it, or is getting all his Intel from those who are. Or at least from the Trumpeters, that he's receiving what little information that he gets.

But unless that miracle occurs, it almost feels like someones sticking another knife in me, and twisting it, and twisting some more. Making the pain I've felt, since the Election started falling Donald Trump's way seemingly never ending. My depression or whatever this feeling I've felt is, hasn't been lifted yet. I'm still in mourning. Not only a presidency for Hillary Clinton, but actually seeing a woman sitting in the Oval Office. The leader of the free world, that's something I so wanted to live to witness 'her' reign. I think as a nation and as a world, we needed to it. Especially with a Putin, seemingly recreating the old Soviet Union. Of course, if Donald Trumps' presidency somehow magically evaporates tomorrow, the pain I've felt could go away almost immediately. That is till we discover whom the Republicans choose in his place. But I'd would accept a Mike Pence right now. How sad is that? At least with Mike Pence, I think our world won't end. We might have a few protests against what Mike tries to do to go backwards in regards to Gay rights or women's rights, or simply human rights. But at least I feel we'll see tomorrow. Its amazing how little you will accept when you see your world exploding around you.

SO NOW IT'S RICK PERRY… DONALD'S MOST OBVIOUS HINT YET, THAT HE'S PLANNING ON DESTROYING EVERYTHING 

Seriously, shouldn't you choose people who want to fix things as opposed to those who wish to shut them down, or better yet, can actually remember the departments name during a debate!

OOPS, HE DID IT AGAIN! Donald J. Trump keeps filling up his cabinets with people that would make even the worse deplorable upset. Whatever happened to bringing in the best people, the most experienced? Seems not a one of his choices could even be in that conversation. I mean seriously am I the only one who see's this? Isn't it bad enough when Trump picks those possibly in bed with the Russians, but at least some of them seem to be able to do the job. Much like with Trump's other choices, Rex Tillerson as Secretary of State whose a little too cozy with Putin and Exxon, Tom Price at HHS who wants to repeal Obamacare, Scott Pruitt for EPA who doesn't believe in Global Warming, or Andrew Puzder who wants a minimum wage almost as much as human labor at his fast food restaurants, picking Rick Perry as Energy Secretary demonstrates that Donald chooses people who plan on weakening, taking apart or flat our destroying the departments that he's picked them to lead and to make matters worse, he seems to be rubbing it in our faces. 

Again and again and again and again, every time he announces someone new, or teases a possibility of who no one in their right mind would pick, I constantly hear Taps in the background. What gets me is, were any of those talking heads, or political power players in the Republican Party, who came out at any time to denounce Donald Trump on whatever he said or did, were any of them at all telling the truth? Or was everything a complete lie just so their party gets back in power? No matter who the candidate is. No matter what crimes they may or may not have committed, or what Donald seems to be putting together,  honestly its the opposite of the Knights of the Round Table! A pseudo death quad. Remember all those things they complained about Hillary, I don't. Seems if you look back at the attacks now, its almost laughable at what they accused her of doing, cause reality has finally struck home with most people, and Donald you be the real crook in this past campaign. I've lived most of my life watching Bond's villains knowing that they were just fictional characters, even cheering them for their downright evilness, but I knew they were made-up, this wasn't reality. I've spent hour upon hour enjoying the pseudo dictators, stalkers, and nut jobs doing their worst, knowing that what I was enjoying was just a movie, a television program or even a cartoon. Some of my favorite experiences ever have been watching things like The Manchurian Candidate. Seeing Freddy Kruger do his worst, even watching Lawrence Olivier ask 'If its safe?" But living in an environment when the worst vile despicable tyrant  actually exists in the real world as our President, sorry I simply can not stomach that. And with each announcement of who is filling his list, when you check his twice, its beginning to seem like a picture out of central casting for a remake of The Saint Valentine's Massacre or a real life Suicide Squad. Seeing Trump lie straight faced, gives me no joy. Listening to his excuses, brings me no solace. There are no cheers in me, as I watch our nation be taken in a direction nobody ever hoped for, and most of us are currently dreading. Yet even his most harshest critics act like we must all just go with it. With Donald there is nothing too low to go after. No fact or evidence or allegation, that's worthy of even a conversation. With Hillary, the woman coughed and it was worthy of her being removed from office. But with Donald, he could share joint bank accounts Vladimir Putin, and there's nothing there. The man spends all his time insulting others, making threats, and meeting with celebrities seemingly to showcase who he knows. As opposed to actually preparing himself to do the job. I mean come on, Donny spends valuable time today with Kanye West instead of doing his homework. Unless Kanye is gonna be designing the uniforms of the next staff at the White House, or sharing his straight jacket that he just took home from his stay in whatever mental institution he needed to get his act back together recently. I'm sorry, there is no excuse for us having to witness that photo op. What is Trump gonna be making an appearance in next season's Kardashian reality show? Stop showing off whom you're buddies with, and start acting Presidential. 

Maybe the reason Trump doesn't believe that we were hacked by the Russians is because Sean Hannity is the person whose briefing him on foreign issues! It seems, Fox Faux New's number one Donald Trump fan, like all of the Trumpeters, want us to disregard what the CIA is telling us. Fine Sean, I'll make a deal with you, the next time the CIA has Intel that Donald needs to keep us safe, perhaps maybe they're say screw you sir. Ask Sean what you should do. Same with his new Secretary of State, instead of getting your Intel from the CIA, just listen to Rex Tillerson when he tells you stuff he actually got from Putin, then what the CIA professionals want to tell him. Or when Rex makes another deal to assist Exxon, but this time as Secretary of State. Happily the electoral college still hasn't officially voted yet, so there is still a chance this historic election could add one more moment that none of us will ever forget. The good thing in all his madness, is that the presidential elect has been throwing out nominations and hiring really scary people at an alarming rate. Hopefully his choices, a long with the horrible notion that the Russians seriously was involved with helping elect Trump could cause enough of the voters to shall we say make there own history. We're at the point that unless this works, the only other thing some of us have to look forward to is the fantasy that a Donald Trump presidency will be ended early because the man himself will be impeached and like Nixon will wind up being escorted out of the White House in disgrace.

TURNS OUT MITCH KNEW ABOUT THE RUSSIAN HACKING AND STALLED ITS REVELATIONS, THE QUESTION I NOW HAVE IS, WAS HE AND HIS FRIENDS IN ON IT TOO?  

Sadly we've heard this song and dance before, tear down a Clinton, and then when Republicans get back in power, their crimes, they never happened. As for us, we get played for fools as they make a killing off the backs of the American people.

TURNS OUT MITCH MCCONNELL and his buddies knew, about Russia's bad behavior and stalled its revelation to the American people, but Hillary's fair game! That's right, when the FBI director James Comey, decided against the wishes of his advisers to come out and pitch Hillary Clinton's possible new leaks on her highly demonized server, that was fine. That was okay for these so-called patriotic Republican power players, screw convention and normality. I mean according to them, all the facts had to be in out in the open. The American people needed to know, to make up their minds before they went into the voting booths. I kept hearing, wouldn't it be terrible if once she got in, we would face questions about her server, the nation would have to sit through all those congressional hearings on her foundation if she won. So releasing that intel, even if an unprecedented, to save our nation from a congressional nightmare had to be done. Mind you, as we discovered later, none of it was new, and all of it proved a waste of time, except that it was in fact a witch hunt concocted by someone to taint Hillary Clinton. But releasing damaging information by the FBI about Russian intervention into our election against The Clinton campaign was political and shouldn't be told to the voters, because this could effect people's perceptions? That Donald might have been helped by Russia, I mean, we wouldn't want to damage his reputation, would be? 

You tell me this doesn't come off as a crock? This doesn't smell fishy? They pulled off the same thing with Bill Clinton when he was president, as they just did against Hillary when she was running for president. They demonized him, spent countless hours and untold numbers, to prosecute Bill Clinton's actions, even when nothing there was there. But once George Walker Bush came into office, any and all questions on him, weren't worth investigating, and even worse these patriots, their reasoning is the same freaking thing as they are doing now. Move on, the nation is tired of all this bickering between parties, lets get on to the People's business. Except when George Walker did it, he had destroyed our economy and took us into a never ending war by attacking the wrong nation, seemingly to make money for his friends, you know real issues. Sounds familiar. Talk about Déjà vu.

Now these Republicans, are trying to shush away the possible stealing of our Presidency. So you tell me, maybe the reason they don't want this to be investigated, perhaps they themselves are in cahoots with those who did the evil, treasonous activities? I'm so sick of them attacking Hillary or Bill for coughing, but nothing any of them do is worthy of a discussion. We've spent a year and a half with all manner of questions into Donald J Trump and his problems, but nothing seems to matter. Why is that? How is that possible? We are now talking about the election of the presidency, when do even their blinders come off? When does it become more then just political partisanship, aren't we all supposed to be Americans? Should I laugh, or should I cry? Please someone explain this to me in a way that doesn't make me want to punch my fist into a wall and do some serious damage to both.

Perhaps we do have traitors in our midst's and those players were the ones pulling the strings in Washington. Perhaps, those liars fooled as many as possible to believe, they were against what Trump was pitching. The so called reasonable ones, all came out and scoffed at the Republican leaks as nothing, they argued they would go against Trump when they didn't agree with his policies. Why did anyone believe any of them at all, let alone seemingly most to this day. They screamed that this election was all on the up and up, and now that the results and this report showcase that nope, no it wasn't, these same liars want us to believe that the report itself is baseless. It doesn't prove anything, so lets disregard what it says. Donald's tweet basically threw out that the same people who claimed that their were WMD's are now the ones' claiming that the election was hacked by Russians, so we should disregard this information as nothing. Simply bow down to me, I mean if you want to look at how this whole scenario dissolved into Trump winning the Electoral College, you could spend hours looking back over the course of the last decade or so. Watch as even before the Republicans lost the majority in all three branches of Government that Barack Obama enjoyed when he entered the Oval Office. Remember how Mitch McConnell of all people crooned that his job was to stop everything President Obama would do. Remember? It seems the Republicans always play this number, they stop anything good from happening, tweak any positives into negatives and lie, lie, lie.  

And now, latest hint, or should I write Red Alert, of Russian activity or collusion, has been fired! Donald Trump supposedly is gonna select Rex Tillerson, an Exxon Mobil chief who has ties with Vladmir Putin, as his Secretary of State. Are you shitting me? I was scared by the invasion of White Supremacy and Nazism into our every day lives that our nation had dissolved into, but maybe the real horror show this year was the Russian invasion thats been happening secretly for years. Perhaps that television show starring Felicity as a Russian spy isn't a scripted series, but just another Reality program like Celebrity Apprentice. Sure it sounds absurd, but look who's supposedly gonna be our next President? Anything is possible these days. Not that I haven't been bringing up these little ties with the Russian President, but this one coupled with the revelation that Putin is possibly trying to takeover our nation has to be the most in your face item yet. Come on people, if this doesn't make even Paul Ryan of all people make a stink about Russia, or even Mitch McConnell the man himself, then I'm sorry all of them are in it along with Donald, and Trump for maybe only the second time in this election campaign spoke the truth. George Walker Bush lied, along with Mitch and the other republicans about the WMDs, and the election was rigged.

Now after all this, lets discuss the recounts. Why aren't they now mandatory in all fifty states? Not just the ones that look fishy. Seriously bad things happened during this campaign and unless they're actually in on it, which I sadly suspect is the case with a few if not many, then everyone should demand to know who our real President elect should be. And not like Al Gore said for the good of the country, but for the very fabric of its being. Instead of investigating the war the George Walker Bush began, and glossing over who was responsible for all the dead bodies and destruction of property, we went after Obamacare! So we've spent millions of dollars on wars that never had to me. We spent millions of dollars on never ending hearings to find something to put a woman away for crimes she never did. But investigating the stealing of a Presidency, as Trump said "is old news" is to put it nicely disgusting. I understand in Trump's mind old news is what he had for breakfast, and facts well, aren't, but honestly why isn't there an Executive Action by our current President, or someone in Congress who will filibuster everything until we actually find out who really won, and if it is true that the election was rigged, those involved must be at least given their own Congressional hearings. I'm sorry, let our current President continue doing the job, until we fix the mess that too many of the Republicans seemed to help make. Enough of the talking head Trumpeters, who want us to just quietly bow down and be patriotic, but screamed at everything possible and actually shut down our government for bogus reasons and personal agendas. Enough, of trying to scare people with Gestapo techniques. Enough, screw all the partisan complaints by the Republicans on their propaganda machine Fox Faux News. Screw the lies spewed by the paid off soulless traitors within our midst. Our very democracy is at a crossroads, and one party is destroying it for their own treasonous reasons. I might have said 'give up' yesterday, 'enjoy whatever time we have left', but this is getting me mad. We have traitors amongst us who have been getting away with murder for years, and it looks like they've finally gotten the keys to the White House. Scarily for them, the fun has just begun, but for the rest of us, their fun is surely gonna be a very long nightmare.

SO NOW ITS THE ENVIRONMENT, SEEMS WE SHOULD ALL JUST STOP CARING ABOUT OUR FUTURES, STOP PAYING FOR HEALTH CARE AND SAY SAYONARA 

That's it, he's won, I give up. Looks like everything its about to all go up in flames, so i think its time to relax and enjoy whatever time any of us have left.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER BRICK DROPS! With the news that Donald Trump has tapped a climate change denier to serve as head of the Environmental Protection Agency, I've just about given into the fear. I mean why even bother anymore? As with all of his other choices Donald is picking the absolute worst possible person imaginable. This time his bullseye is aimed at the EPA and this harbinger of doom is named Scott Pruitt. A fossil Fuel-Friendly Oklahoman tea partier who was elected into Congress in the wave that swept over Washington in 2010. This man has been a critic of the EPA and has filed lawsuits and won ruling's against the Obama administration's environmental policies. So lets give the man who wants to dismantle the agency itself, the job of running it. What could go wrong? Bye bye clean energy, hello greenhouse gases! Immediately those out there who still value our futures, have come out with their chorus of boo's to this latest pick. While the Trumpeters as usual, are touting this as a way to save the EPA, man, we are all so royally screwed. So as we go one step closer to our demise, it seems, Donald's meeting with Al Gore, was all another distraction, and everyone fell hook, line and sinker. This wasn't showing that the man would be easy on our future, save us from the big flood that would soon swallow up parts of our nation. Maybe people argued, he might actually be able to say the words Climate Change and not cough up a lung. That maybe there was an smidgen of sanity in that deranged orange faced mind of his, and once he actually realizes the power that he now possesses, Donald will realize we need to take it down a notch and wake up to reality. But sadly as usual it was simply another deflection till he threw out his pitch. Oh, wait, now I see Leonardo DiCapio is meeting with him,  so maybe all is fine with the world and the new choice isn't gonna be as bad as possible? Wake up, its just a distraction from the truth.

As the dust is settling on this choice, we also had the extreme horror to discover who shouldn't be chosen to be our next Labor Secretary, because thats who Donald Trump picked. This latest bullet into the citizens of our nation's back is named Andrew Puzdar. This man runs Hardee's and Carl's Jrs., fast food chains and pretty much hates the notion of raising the minimum wage. He in fact would probably prefer to get rid of it, so he is the perfect choice in a Trump White House. The best part, Trumps pick, dreams of replacing all of his fast food employee's with robots, so sadly the only jobs that would be available in the windfall Donny promised, probably are gonna be replaced with droids. As a bonus, this prize, also happens to be an anti-immigration zealot as well, so he fits in perfectly.

Add one more caveat to the Carrier deal, not only does Trump own a piece of Carrier, and his deal saved less jobs then he keeps pitching to the braindead that can't get their head out of their asses to see how he played them. Now the man in cage of carrier has announced that some of the saved jobs wouldn't be lasting. Seems he plans to use a lot of the tax incentives to make his factory more mechanized, saving money and killing jobs.  Another scam played perfectly by Donald that no matter how much you prove the deal was all dog and pony show, the Donald and his Trumpeters and spin it and the fools believe the bull and disbelieve reality.

So it seems the basket of deplorables has gotten just a bit more crowded, and the ones that already fill it perfectly are continuing to add to their pile of sewage. Kellyanne Conway, who never fails to open her trap and spew seriously obnoxious statements, now argues that anyone who says anything against our future king, should face "consequences" for simply saying their minds. So if reporters query or argue, that Donald is doing wrong, like continuing to Executive Produce the 'Celebrity Apprentice' even after taking the oath of office they could face consequences, or even citizens who take umbrage to something he says or does, they too could face fines or prison time. Somehow out of left field, commentating about our political leaders is a no no. What gets me after what we've lived through with the most vile show of rudeness to any political leader in my lifetime, all of that doesn't seem to be the equation. But if Kellyanne wants to make using our First Amendment right's illegal, I presume then we should make the crimes retroactive. Then lets go after the inbreds who went after our current President, Barack Obama. Remember? Your current boss, called our President illegal for years, and so did half of Congress, perhaps we should arrest all of them for crimes against the state?  Perhaps we should go after all the 'Americans' who posted images of our President and his family as apes! You want to play the criticism card, perhaps we should go after you, Miss High and Mighty for what you yourself said about Donald Trump when you worked for Ted Cruz, that is before you sold whatever you had left of your soul to him. Wouldn't take be funny if the witch found herself sharing a cell with one of those real Americans who are arguing against Trumps bullshit. Somehow, whatever he does is cool, no matter how illegal or unethical. 

What gets me is, with Trumps latest joke of  in-your-face hypocrisy of Donald still earning a paycheck for Celebrity Apprentice is that NBC just happens to have a news division. Remember? So as President, he could use his power to alter the news, perhaps use his show to promote his policies, pitch his products, golf courses, and of course his properties. I mean seeing foreign nations deciding now to spend their time at Trump hotels, does view me pause. Talk about a conflict of interest. As for Kellyanne's comment that Donny working on Celebrity Apprentice is like President Obama's playing a game of golf. What? Is she stoned on crack? I guess the fact that Trump would be making money on it, makes a difference, idiot! President Obama is playing a game, he's not in the sport professionally or a pro. He's not winning a check, he's playing a round. Wow, the excuses these Trumpeters spout is seriously nuts. 

But does it matter? Any of it. The more names Donald announces the surer I am that the madman is filling his basket with the monsters that he intends to help destroy our nation from within. These aren't picks out of thin air, each one seems to fit perfectly into what he's assembling. I could imagine if there was one or a few, we could say maybe we misjudged the man, lets give him a chance. But everyone of his menagerie seems to be a piece of his puzzle of horrors. Supposedly this puzzle when completed will make America great again. But what exactly does that America look like? I'm just afraid from seeing what he's trying to do, that any hope for our nation and our world is gone. 

As we watch the recounts being stopped by Republican judges for lack of reasons (according to them), as reports keep coming out that the places that asked for the recounts had so much irregularity that a recount should be a must. The more we learn the more we need to learn the truth, about who really won this election! The excuses that Kellyanne and the rest of the Trumpeters are using is that we all laughed at Donald when he claimed the election was rigged and argued that Donald would make a mockery if he demanded a recount. So now that the shows is on the other foot, the democrats are simply sore losers. Who can't face the truth. No, the reality is, by Donald using that pitch, and seemingly being in cahoots with those who actually rigged the system, the recount he wanted as long as he lost, should be down for both sides. Lets see what the truth of the matter is.

So again, what does it matter? The system is rigged, the Presidency was stolen. All of the great advances that occurred in our nation for the last century will soon be stripped out of our laws. But it doesn't matter, does it? 30 million people losing their healthcare, don't sweat it. Social Security who needs it, no big deal? People working for less then what is currently our minimum wage, piece of cake. I mean chill out everyone, cause some day soon when what we love about our nation is a thing of the past, and our present will be something a kin to our worst nightmare, all of this will be a distant memory. When the reality of what we now have sitting in the White House wakes up even the sheep and the riots erupt. Perhaps when those in power who aren't bowing down to his whims, suddenly mysteriously wind up dead, poisoned from something they drank or was injected in. So everyone take a deep breath, chill out, we are already a nation on the brink of destruction. The sheep did there part, now Donald's coven will do theirs. So why worry when we know that nothing we can do will stop the end from happening. So relax, if you need to pray that we will survive, heck it couldn't hurt. 

For me, as our nation possibly burns into the ground, I'll remember that we almost elected Hillary Clinton, into the White House the perfect candidate and smile through the agony we are living through. A woman that was gonna take us to the next level as a nation, and we let this possibility slip though our fingers. I have to say this, someone seriously fucked up this time. I mean come on. Instead of voting her in, and bringing in a new world order, of kindness and equality, 'we' voted in the worst candidate in probably the history of our nation, and the one who will probably destroy it. The only good if any, that could come out of a Trump presidency is if we actually can survive it. Meaning, when all is said and done, if America as we know it is still a nation in our world, and it hasn't turned into a new version of a Third Reich nation then I apologize big time. Maybe, this was all a test to prove that Democracy and our nation can survive almost anything? I guess that is something to celebrate, but why tell me, must the trials to prove its strength be oh so scary and oh so dangerous.

FACTS BE DAMNED, IN THE LAND OF TRUMP, ESPECIALLY WHEN REAL NEWS IS CONSIDERED LIES BY THE MAN WHOSE PITCHING THE BULL 

Are you bleeping kidding me, we aren't supposed to take Trump's tweets seriously, possibly causing a world war, because he's still a common citizen and not in power, but all of his activities are kosher and now Presidential because he's the president-elect? Go blow yourselves!

I'M SO CONFUSED, is he a genius, a nut job, going with his gut, following a playbook, knows exactly what he's doing or simply going "Eenie, Meenie, Miney, Mo" what exactly is the method of the madness that is inside the brain of Donald J. Trump? Every time he comes out and again showcases how much trouble we are getting ourselves into with his climb into the Presidency, the explanations his Trumpeters use seriously can give you whiplash. Somehow, everything that is bad is genius. It seriously makes me go what the heck? One of Donald's chief surrogates, Kellyanne Conway came out and basically explained that whatever Donald says is the law of the land, is fact, and now that he's the president-elect must be considered as if he's the President. The woman has been one of the most arrogant people when defending Donald since he took her into the fold. No matter what Donald says, he's right, every attack is biased, and according to her the biggest lie of the entire campaign wasn't any of his, but it was the media who kept saying he couldn't win, that attacked him with bias, that according to her was the biggest lie. What a crock!

While others say he's just winging it, not giving it much thought, there are some like yours truly who seem to see Donald as someone who knows exactly what he's doing. The man may be insane and certifiable, but there is a definite method to his madness. Sadly this mad scientist, is gonna be using us the citizens of our country, as his personal play things, and whatever those plans he has is seriously scaring the dickens out of me. For example his 'innocent' conversation with Taiwan. According to reports, that have been discussed by everyone as if these are real, Trump or his associates have been in conversations about a huge hotel deal with Taiwan. So there's no way this accidental chat was simply a slip up. And with Trump's twitter battle onslaught against China, it seems to me, this Taiwan error was actually a business man making a deal with them. Basically now that he's gonna be President, don't worry pals, you make this deal with me, I'll make China change their ways. I'm Donald Trump, I never lose. I do ponder now that he's about to get the ultimate power, his niceties might disappear and the tyrant could take his place. Deal with me or lets just say, I might have to put a tax on you out of existence. Have you seen my military, I'll just bomb you the Hell out of existence. Did you see what I did to the Republican party? Don't test me. Sadly the real losers in this, will be the ones now under his thumb, us the American people. 

One other caveat, in the age of lies and conspiracies and Trumpism's, now we need to prove a fake news story is phony, before we can consider any made up piece of garbage false. Screw the facts, screw common sense, screw common human decency. Screw how many people are hurt by those who sling this garbage. As we witnessed via false prophets for decades, and now over the course of this campaign, via the Internet on places like Facebook and twitter, which sadly is the way most of Americans receive these false flat out lies. And the liars, like president-elect Donald Trump who have used the false narrative to taint the news media as the liars themselves. You see the people who are telling us that the lies are false, are really the liars. Hence, somehow the fake news is now real. And no matter how many times you prove the falsehoods, there will be those out there that believe the lies and disregard the truth. This has been the entire Republican playbook for years. All the lies about the Clinton's, their Foundation and practically anything and everything related to them. All the attacks on Obama's heritage, and Obamacare, I could actually go on for days. And lets not disregard all the bogus stories accusing the media of making up evidence that Trump was a tax evading fraud. Donald Trump himself, tweeted out conspiracies for months as the truth, 'believe me', and whenever facts were thrown out against him as evidence that Donald was lying, the Trumpeters would throw out new conspiracies to deflect his latest accusations. After a while, who do you believe? I can't fathom how many people I have spoken to especially lately who believe utter nonsense and can not see the truth if it slapped them on their faces. For example the Carrier deal that Pence recently pulled. When you mention Donald owns part of Carrier and his company will make millions off of the deal. Or that this is actually the opposite of the way he preached he would deal with companies who were planning on shipping jobs overseas. Or how he didn't even remember promising Carrier anything on the stomp till somebody brought it up to him, and magically this deal was made in a matter of days. A champion for the common people that's who Donald wants everyone to believe he is.  People love me. Now quit protesting the election results, and get with the program. Well you get the drift, unfortunately the brain dead, just do not see reality, and whats worse is how they explain their reasoning's. They always sound like prerecorded talking points being spouted off by Trump, his surrogates or Fox Faux News, which of course is the propaganda wing of the Trump regime.

Sadly one of Trumps usual campaign strategies has made one of his followers act out. You see Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn, a choice for one of Trumps prized cabinet positions, his son helped make one of the sheep's wet dreams seem real enough to go all bat shit crazy and shoot up a pizza joint. The instigator of this attack was Michael Flynn Jr., yes, Trump's new lieutenant's son. Michael Flynn who has a penchant himself to share conspiracies via tweets, well his son, Michael Jr., just tweeted "Until #Pizzagate proven to be false, it'll remain a story…." Seems the whole, Fake Media is big with our future tyrant' s choice for national security advisor, and this story is the perfect example of what could go horribly wrong in the next 4 years. That is if we survive that long.

You see 'Pizzagate' is just the latest lie Michael Flynn Jr., has spread online, and sadly one of the sheep, had to find out for himself if this Fake News was in fact real. And If it was real, he was lock and loaded and ready to kill if necessary to make America great again. The back story is that for weeks a local pizzeria chain of shops, Comet Ping Pong, have supposedly been trafficking children and under aged sex. Allegedly there are underground tunnels, and the children were being held in the backrooms at the eatery's hence this regular Joe's decision to become Rambo. To topper of this conspiracy, is of course this crime was backed by Hillary Clinton. That's right. What? Okay. Sure. Sounds feasible to me, doesn't it sound feasible to you? Sorry, I got lost in the insanity of it all for a moment. But to put it nicely, how could anyone believe this one? Anyway, whats most important are these false stories which appeared online at Facebook, as well as Breitbart type pseudo news outlets like 'The New National' and Alex Jones' Infowars, caused one of the sheep to go batshit crazy. I mean as Donald Trump has said, when he throws out his facts, where did he find it, he saw it on online, must be real. Except of course when the items are negative about him or in fact prove everything he says is an out right lie.  Then its the biased media whose conspiracy against him and should be shut down or imprisoned, like Corey Lewandowski who suggested the editors of the New York Times show face prison time because they printed Trumped leaked taxes. 

As this is taking place, our current Commander-in-Chief, Barack Obama, shows us all again how he has been making America greater since the day he first stepped into office. Eight years ago, President Obama walked into the Oval office unlike any before him, and after the debacle that was the George Walker Bush's tenure, the nation prospered probably better then anyone of us couldn't have hoped for. As we watched him take our nation from a country on the verge of collapse and stared us towards we find ourselves today. Unprecedented continuous job growth for years now, our world became just a little more equal, when our President made Gay marriage legal, and things could never have gone as good as they were under his leadership. The man came in needing to fix the mess up and he has done just that. Obama proved that he could take our nation in the right direction, more then lived up to his promises. By his actions he improved millions of life with his fix of the health care system. But sadly, those people behind the systems he was correcting weren't happy, and their power players have spent most of Obama's tenure doing their worst to taint or destroy anything positive that our President attempted. But even with all of their stoppage, they couldn't prevent everything that Obama our accomplished seemingly on his own. And yesterday he did it again by putting a halt to the pipeline that was about to destroy the live of Indians in North Dakota. Whats maddening to me is, this shouldn't have happened in the first place. It was originally supposed to go somewhere else, but they got the construction to move. Sadly the Indians, as has been their fate in the so called land of liberty and freedom for all, ever since the white man decided to invade their land, were the unlucky victims of the change of location, and of course, their voices weren't listened to. But showcasing again what a great man President Obama is, he just halted the construction and now they're gonna finally see what damage would be done to the area if the pipeline is allowed to continue on its present course. As well as if the pipeline could be directed differently so as not to effect the lives of the Indians in the area. Well the madness of the entire thing for me is Donald Trump it turns out owns stock in the pipeline itself. So this for him is an investment, and unless he divests himself from his businesses like all other previous Presidents, this pipeline could be yet another windfall for our future leader.  If there wasn't a better example example why Obama is a great President and how Trump won't be, this pretty much hits the nail on its head. Lets just hope when Donald gets the handle on that hammer, our world won't be destroyed with one of his terrible misses.

NO TOMORROW INDEED! DON'T YOU HATE IT WHEN YOUR WORST NIGHTMARES BECOME REALITY? WELL I DO!

Its kind of ironic, that a comedy series about the end of mankind, sort of fits the plot that the powers that be have come up with. Scarily maybe sooner then any of us expect, I mean what could go wrong with a chat with Taiwan…

WHAT DOES IT TAKE to make the sheep wake up and see whats happening right in front of our faces? I know I'm beginning… no scratch that, I know I'm sounding like a crazy person when discussing the end of our nation and our world. But seeing how others have seriously lost their minds over Donald Trump, maybe the world as we know it, needs to end. Deserves to be put out of its misery. Perhaps all the prayers have been heard, all the cries to the powers that be have been answered. Maybe Donald's presidency, is what in modern times is equivalent to Noah's flood or the Tower of Babel, or the meteorite that caused the Ice Age and killed off all of the dinosaurs. Maybe God, or whomever you pray to, is angry enough at the human race and sent Trump down, or should I write up, as a test. What if we seriously just failed that exam by simply electing Donald Trump into office. 

Rigged or not, maybe its time for another meteorite, like in The CW's romantic comedy 'No Tomorrow', to show up and destroy whats left of our world, and I'm beginning to believe that we as a species deserve it. Because for the life of me, I can not come up with any other reasons that the big fella or whomever is pulling the strings would allow someone who seems so bent on destroying everything to actually get the power to do just that. Of course if you watch the series, you know that's just what one of the characters, named Xavier, think is gonna be happening soon. To be more precise, he believes that in approximately eight months an asteroid will blast us all out of existence. So Xavier lives his life as if he has nothing to lose, hence the title of the series. Of course if the show is a hit and lasts, not sure how they will solve that little plot twist. Love conquers all?  

Sadly even though what we've lived through so far in the time of Trump may seem much more like its written for a quasi remake to the 1980's movie 'Night of the Comet', where instead of a Comet striking our planet and turning everyone into zombies, in this rewrite the Trumpeters, are the brain dead monsters in the plot and Donny boy is the flying object hurtling through space. And when Trump gets sworn in, that's when the rock collides with our planet. Who knows what the ramifications of that historic day will bring? I mean he hasn't even been sworn in yet and the ground feels like an earthquake beneath me, as my world has suddenly gone beyond surrealism. Honestly I fear, that the President-Elect is gonna end our nation and the world, in a similar way that the Comet did in that movie. I so wish i was joking.

Its bad enough that Trump's stocking his cabinet with the worse people possible, but whats more horrible to me is it seems the American people have turned deaf, dumb and blind to it. Simply believing every scam he throws out as fact, while disregarding the truth that's staring them straight in their faces. I mean the education in our country seriously needs to be looked at. Of course sadly, the woman that Donald just cast as his Education commandant, surely won't help solve anything and most likely will make it a whole lot worse. And to make matters even more upsetting, now Donnie, our new world leader has decided to touch base with Taiwan. Only breaking tradition and who knows, possibly causing a world war! I'm kidding, or am I? Unbelievably the man who has no knowledge of world events, except for what Stephen Bannon has told him. Who refuses to sit in briefings, cause heck what could he learn from the experts? What can he learn? What can he learn! Perhaps who he should or shouldn't have phone chats with. Who knows what China might be thinking? The back story seems to be, that Junior Trump supposedly spoke to Taiwan a few weeks back, something to do with business deals. As we know as of now, The Trumps are gonna be running daddy's business, so a business deal with this foreign nation is cool. Especially since daddy will be completely uninvolved with his children's businesses. Remember he doesn't care about that anymore, its all for the American people! Of course, that change of ownership hasn't taken place yet, and already his businesses are making a mint off of his elected position. Well, I guess in a way, Donny possibly causing the next world war, is a good thing. At least we finally will have justifiable reasons to remove him from office. Not that we don't have loads of options for that same reasoning already. For example, wondering when his Foundation will become the political problem that it should have already become.

Boy today I wish I was a fly on the wall in the Oval office. I can only imagine what President Barack Obama is thinking, perhaps making sure his bomb shelter is ready for when Nuclear war occurs? Perhaps the angry black man that many of us wished would have appeared a long time a go, that has been hidden from public view that I'm certain has to be bubbling up inside of Barack Obama's ever professional public persona of class, is about to erupt on Donald Trump's sorry white ass. I mean what does he have to lose? If this doesn't get him to go full fledged African tribesman on them, maybe nothing will. Seems to me his handing off the keys to the kingdom to a fool, who seems bent on destroying not only his legacy as one of the greatest presidents to have ever graced the White House, but our nation as a democracy is at a crossroads. Without sounding too racist, I so wish our President, would out himself and showcase the man those inbreds claimed he was for so many years. I so want him to make them sorry they were correct. Make them wish everything they spewed were never uttered. Of course, that will never happen, and the greatness of President Barack Obama will be something that these fools will never see. Even when our nation starts to implode because of Trumps decisions and the end is near, sadly these backward leaning fools will lie to themselves as they did with George Walker Bush and refuse to see reality. I almost feel bad for them, but sorry, most of these zealots of lies, deserve the death penalty for crimes against the state, and I can think of a lot who should already be on death row. 

Seems buyers remorse is settling in with at least one of those who got hoodwinked by Donald in his con to win the election. Turns out not everyone of the millions who believed his lies, are still blind to his tricks. On the news they had a woman, Teena Colebrook, who was upset at our future leaders pick for Treasury Secretary. Seems she was one of  Steven Mnuchin's victims when he ran OneWest, a bank that had foreclosed on her home and on thousands of others. The man made millions, actually closer to billions on the backs of people who were screwed over by the practises of banks like his. And now this monster plans to do the same thing again while running our treasury department. He plans to drop lots of regulations to supposedly help the economy, that is until the economy implodes worse then it did when he was just a player in the game and not running the whole enchilada. Sadly I can't find the quote, but Mrs. Colebrook said something like, 'Donald promised to clean up the swamp, but instead he's filling it up with alligators!' Which I found to be a perfect metaphor for what Donald appears to be doing. Not surprisingly, at least to me, one of his followers, even just a few weeks after they voted, now wish they hadn't voted at all. Realizing at practically warp speed that she was lied to by just another politician, the supposed outsider in this years presidential derby, is in reality the ultimate insider. Honestly while I was watching her, I wanted to feel bad for her I mean she was a victim in Donald's playbook like the rest of us will be. I tried to make myself feel anything for her, but instead of feeling sympathy, all I felt was anger at her and others like her. Its like whenever I watch others who have lost their life savings because of a scam artist, you want to feel bad for them. But instead, you ponder how could anyone be so stupid? But this time, their stupidity is now gonna hurt the rest of us! I'm sorry, you were stupid enough to believe his bullshit. I'm sorry that now you feel ripped off and you lost faith in our political system. But when do these people, who've been fooled into the worst decision of their lives take responsibility for their own actions, after the world explodes? My only question is, why was this the thing that woke her up to his scheme? Why wasn't all the racism a problem? Why wasn't all his taxes a problem? Why wasn't the things he said about others and women and children, and people with disabilities a problem? Why wasn't the things he said about his opponents an issue with her? Does she still believe that Hillary deserves to be locked up? Mind you, she didn't say she would have voted for Hillary, so she was still voting for the man's platform. So honestly she's still a lost soul in my book. Why is it now so obvious for her to see that the man is a sleaze because one of his picks turns out to be the ultimate smack in the faces to the millions who lost everything? Perhaps this as well as several other decisions by Donald Trump as we go forth will make more and more people wake up to the reality of whom is currently the person slated to be running our nation at least at this moment, for the next four years. I just wonder if we survive to the next election, how many people will wake up to that truth that Teena woke up to, and vote the man out. That is if we do get to vote again for a new President. I'm at the point in believing that either that ability will be taken away from us by Donny's Trumpeters, or that the 'end of the world scenario' which I'm too invested in right now, might come true. And voting, will be something that happened before Trump and won't be necessary anymore during the Apocalypse he seems bent on causing.

DEAL MAKER IN CHIEF? SADLY, MORE LIKE, IT'S THE OLD 'BAIT AND SWITCH' AND LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE, WE'RE ALL GONNA PAY FOR IT IN THE END

So the man saves 800 jobs in Indiana, and is going on a victory tour, but the reality is nothing like his pitch, and this time its the tax payers from Indiana who’re the ones who are paying for it… 

SEEMS THE WIZARD OF LIES, is pulling another con right in front of our faces and now he’s gonna throw a victory tour to promote what a great manipulator, deal maker and liar he really is. So I guess now we know how he plans to make good on everything. Seems this is gonna be his way, nothing is new when all you really have is a shell game as your way of doing business. Donald Trump has never been subtle, but how many times can he pull off this scam, before the population realizes that yes, he’s done it again? Possibly maybe never? But there's got to be a tipping point, right? I mean he’s pulled off the biggest score of his life, conning millions, so why should reality smack us in the face on one of his lesser cons. Maybe reality, is not part of the big picture here, or perhaps we the people will wake up to whats really happening when its too late, and all or most of Donald’s deals turn out to disasters. 

Just wondering what will be the scheme that the master of manipulator tries to pull off that breaks the camels back? What if anything will wake even his strongest supporters up to finally see the man for what he truly is, a fraud! So it turns out the great deal maker really isn't such a whiz after all. People were wondering why Mike Pence was still doing the job of Governor of Indiana, especially when Donald tapped him to run his transition team. One would have thought he might be a little busy in Washington, to spend his days in Indiana doing the minor a job of running a state. Normally I would applaud Mike Pence for wanting to finish out his term, I wish more politicians would do that, of course, that disregards all the time the Indiana Governor was away from his job while campaigning for Donald for his VP slot. So lets not throw the man a parade for doing his civic duty just yet. Seems Donald and Mike had a plan to make Trump seem like the savior he preached he was. During his campaign, he attacked Carrier and companies like it who were taking jobs out of America and promised to end it, or so whom disobeyed him would face his wraith. The man would just will the populous into following his lead and everything would be as he promised. Of course with a conman, when the dust settles, in Donnie's case, even before the deal has been officially announced, the truth that is uncovered, reveals the man to be even a better carnival barker then deal maker. Turns out the reason Mike Pence is still in Indiana doing his job, was to work out an incentive deal that he will be signing into law in the middle of December. In other words, this was a plot that Donnie or Mike concocted to make Trump appear to be the man he pitched himself to be. And by doing so, it turns out the man was revealed to be the fake that he really is.

As usual the only one who really benefits from his deals, is the man himself. As it now seems apparent, the genius at making a deal, had something up his sleeve. So the real reason Carrier agreed to his deal, was that our future President gave them an incentive to partially stay. That's right, the deal supposedly is, the state agrees to give them approximately $7 million as an incentive, which will be given to them using tax payers money. So whose paying for it, the citizens of Indiana! Talk about corporate welfare! For that pricey sum, instead of the entire factory staying in America as Donald had promised during his campaign speeches, approximately half of the workers will still have jobs for the time being and he's paying the company to do it. That said, Carrier is still relocating to Mexico and we are still losing at least half of the jobs that are currently in Indiana. Simply, the only reason any of the jobs are remaining, is because they're being paid off by tax payers money to continue operation for now. So I guess we should thank the man? I mean great, that's 800 jobs instead of the original 1400 that was slated to go to Mexico, so I should be like them shouting it from the rooftops. I guess I was wrong, the man is making America great again. Or is he? 

Of course there's one big problem, the $7 million that Mike Pence will be signing away, is gonna be taken out of the money needed to pay for the states expenses. In other words, something is gonna have to suffer because this deal was made. My question is what and who will pay the price for Trump's generosity. I mean where's the money coming from? Schools? Sanitation? Infrastructure? Road repairs? Social Security? Pensions? Where? Sadly this is what made places like Detroit go bankrupt! Seems, Donald Trump is playing games with our nations finances, and all I can see from this attempt to showcase his moxie are a lot of other companies doing exactly what Carrier just did. Blackmailing our nation to make better deals, and in the long run our nation will disintegrate into a retread of what we went through during George Walker Bush's tenure. Lets start a war and cut taxes at the same time, and try to stay above water till the bottom drops out.  Remember the 1970's in America, this was how cities and states survived, by taking money from one place to pay another, and then one day it caught up to them and our nation was seemingly dying on the vine. Remember that's how they screwed up Social Security in the first place, they 'borrowed' money from it to pay for other needs, and now the same people that took the money from there are arguing that the system is a failure and needs to be privatized. Bernie Sanders wrote a blistering editorial explaining what Donald is pulling in Indiana with Carrier, is a sham and why it could cause the floodgates to open wide, and this deal could be the beginning of many or is that the beginning of the end. Seems Donald Trump is threatening other companies who are planning to move away. Oh the questions boggle my mind? What if they can't make the deal that Carrier made, what will those companies do? Lets see, possibly fire employees. Perhaps eventually close down. Maybe on a good note, the CEO's will give up their multimillion dollar bonuses and stock options and use the money to save the company's and their employee's their jobs? Aren't they also as patriotic Americans as Trump wants us to believe he is? And if they aren't, what will Donald do, eventually arrest them and take the companies away like they do in Russia or China? Just throwing that out get into the conversation, heck somebody has to. Right? 

So when does it stop? Donald it appears is already acting like a dictator. Its his way or watch out! Seems the man who played every game in the book to make money, is now gonna be the one who wrangles in all that corporate greed, really? Or will they all pay him off, some way, kiss his ring, name their first borns after him? Me thinks, there's gonna be a lot of angry CEO's out there who have to answer to their stock holders, remember profits? Lets see how agreeable they are to Donald's whims, when they have their jobs on the line. 

Now lets go full circle on what today's victory tour by Herr Donald, I'm sorry, I should write, The Donald could really means. With the resurgence of antisemitism since Donald won the electoral college (which of course had begun as his candidacy continued), and the onslaught of swastikas, not to mention the alt-right and Stephen Bannon have brought to his candidacy, seems today's celebration is perhaps a little too close to something Adolf used to do. You see today's victory tour is reminiscent of the ones Hitler did in the 1930's, which were called The Nuremberg Rallies. I vaguely remember when I learned about this in school way back when, but watching the video which is showcased with the link below while researching on google about today's events (which I discovered at http://news.groopspeak.com), did make me want to again worry for the future of our nation.

"That’s right, the last time a politician held victory celebrations in his own honor they were called the Nuremberg Rallies. They began after the Nazis’ rise to power in 1933 and became a yearly event emblematic of the power of the regime’s propaganda machine."    

Kind of gives you chills, huh? Of course with the Trump campaign the use of Nazism is nothing new. Sadly Donald's and his son's Nazi ways have been too abundant for months. But this development, this event, surely must make others unnerved by the similarities as it has upset me. To learn more, about Trump again following the playbook of Adolf Hitler, please check out this link. http://news.groopspeak.com/trumps-victory-tour-first-of-its-kind-since-hitlers-nuremberg-rallies/  

So am I being paranoid today, or am I the only one who sees what's wrong with picture? We've got a presidential elect acting like a dictator without waiting to even be sworn in. We have his followers demanding we just fall in line, and we actually have comedians discussing what they can't or can say in their acts anymore. I guess we shall see if my Jewish heritage is simply playing a number on me or if that same history, has taught me that history has been know to repeat itself. Simply if it acts like a Nazi, quacks like a Nazi and reacts likes a Nazi, chances her he might actually be a Nazi. Just saying, I may not be the first person whose noticed, and I certainly won't be the last, I just hope that if we survive what ever Trump has in store, what I see coming isn't what actually occurs.
