DONALD TRUMP IS ABSOLUTELY DELUSIONAL

DONALD TRUMP IS ABSOLUTELY DELUSIONAL

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump

“While I had a great meeting with NATO, raising vast amounts of money, I had an even better meeting with Vladimir Putin of Russia. Sadly, it is not being reported that way - the Fake News is going Crazy!”

HERE ARE THE FACTS

Trump strutted around blustering, insulting, and publicly humiliating our closest friends and allies, and then disgracefully slobbered all over our worst enemy's ass. And he can’t blame it on “fake news” this time. When the chips were down, the true Draft-Dodgin' Donnie came out for the world to see with its own eyes - an idiot and a bully against those who can’t fight back, and a coward in the face of the enemy. He acted like Mr. Big stuff in the U.K., even walking in front of the Queen, but he became a compliant little puppy while standing next to Putin - “Did you like the way I said that, Uncle Putie?”
.
WHICH ONE OF THESE MEN LOOK LIKE 
A STRONG AND RESOLUTE LEADER?
Thus, for the first time in U.S. history, an American president has drenched our national pride in shame - and what made the episode even more embarrassing is Trump is, by far, the most bellicose politician in the world today. So by looking so weak next to Vladimir Putin during the Helsinki Summit, it not only served to enhance Russia’s image in the world, but caused the United States to take on the image of Donald Trump himself - a big-mouth, bloviating wimp.  It will take America generations to live down the horrible optics of that disaster.
.
As a result, after returning home Trump has caught hell over his disgusting performance in Europe, and rightly so, but now he’s trying to change the subject by using one of his most prolific tried-and-true tactics to get out from under the heat - stirring up internal division and turmoil among the American people to take the focus off of himself. So he recently tweeted the following:
.

.
“The NFL National Anthem Debate is alive and well again - can’t believe it! Isn’t it in contract that players must stand at attention, hand on heart? The $40,000,000 Commissioner must now make a stand. First time kneeling, out for game. Second time kneeling, out for season/no pay!”
.
But we shouldn’t buy into Trump’s NFL bullshit for a minute. He’s simply trying to use public division to take our minds off his disgusting display of cowardice in Helsinki. What we should actually consider is, what’s more unpatriotic, taking a knee before a football game, or running out on your country in time of war, or cowering in the face of the enemy before the entire world? Trump has done them both so we shouldn’t tolerate his hypocrisy for a second . He would lead us to believe that we should be more fixated on a piece of cloth than what that piece of cloth represents. The United States flag is a symbol of freedom, justice, and honor. So if one is denied the personal freedom of expression by being denied the right to take a knee for justice before a football game, what is the value of the flag, and why are we saluting it in the first place? 
.
But Trump is not the least bit interested in any of that. He has clearly demonstrated, both in his youth, when he ducked out on having to place his life on the line for this country during the Vietnam war, and now as president, by dishonoring this nation in the face of the enemy in Helsinki, that our flag means absolutely nothing to him. His only interest in the flag are the ways that it can be used to promote his own self-serving agenda, and that’s EXACTLY how he’s using it now. His gross and unvarnished cynicism is disgusting, and his complete disregard for the American people is a slap in the face of American democracy.
.
Thus, Donald Trump has proven himself to be a completely self-serving and disgusting human being, and the sooner we remove him from the world stage, the better off both our nation, and our flag, will be. So I’d like to say just one thing to Draft-Dodgin’ Donnie . . .

ODE TO A CHICKEN HAWK

Beneath the Spin * Eric L. Wattree

ODE TO A CHICKEN HAWK

.
I can understand Trump not being able to fully grasp the concept of patriotism.  After all,  when it was his turn to fight for this country he applied for, and obtained, 5 draft deferments to avoid fighting in Vietnam - and the very same was true of Dick Cheney and Rush Limbaugh.  But now that they don't have to put their OWN lives on the line, all of a sudden they've morphed into these "Super Patriots" and want to wave their flags at our troops from the sideline - at least, until the troops come home broken and wounded, then they call them deadbeats and want to deprive them of public assistance.  This has been a pattern with Republicans.  During Herbert Hoover's administration, 15,000 WWI veterans marched on Washington demanding that they be paid what they were owed by the government. Hoover responded by calling in federal troops to throw these ex-servicemen off government property.

CHICKEN HAWK
.
Oh,
sweet patriot, square of jaw,
and demeanor of great command,
you fearlessly stand
in defense of America,
and the savior of all God’s chosen men.
Anointed by God as his personal envoy
to all men, corrupt and blind,
and charged with the
swift and brutal destruction
of all heathens of other kind.
.
You stand vigilant against all our enemies,
both foreign and imagined within;
You vigorously guard against all that is evil,
and all that you see as sin.
You define God’s needs and precious values,
in the most unambiguous tones,
and never once have you erred on behalf of truth,
to reveal “God’s values” are indeed your own.
.
You lead our troops in fearless glory,
challenging Death to “Bring it on!”
Never thrusting your sword on the field of battle,
you fearlessly lead the charge by phone.
.
Oh,
sweet patriot, square of jaw,
and demeanor of great command,
how selfless your will to guard America,
while hating the pillars upon which it stands.
