Douchebag Donald Trump, deadbeat freeloading pussy-grabber-in-thief-wannabe, denied his own nephew's sick baby medical care...he's such a LOSER that he makes LOSERS look like WINNERS!!!!!

Greetings, fellow Dot Calm Readers, Freedom Fighters, and Truth Crusaders!

Dare I hope that not only is pussy-grabber-in-thief-wannabe Donald LOSER Trump imploding but that he's taking the entire Republican party with him?

Sadly, I don't think that's the case--and wishes ain't horses--but I still have some observations to share with you today.

It's been really interesting comparing the first-to-press assessments of Sunday night's debate from The Young Turks and AlterNet with the steady stream coming in from other sources--TYT and AlterNet both concluded that Hillary lost the debate, but CNN and a growing number of polls say that she won handily. Hm. I guess I didn't want to assume that she won (because she's human and articulate, duh, and the dumpster fire is neither) only to have my hopes shattered later.

My first indication of the true outcome came when I discussed the debate the next day with my dad, who, unlike me, had the intestinal fortitude to watch the whole thing from his room in the health facility (he comes home Friday, yay!). I told him that TYT and AlterNet said that Trump won, to which my dad replied, pfft--Hillary won hands down. And he gave me a far more lucid précis and breakdown of the debate than I've seen in any of the news media, which seemed more interested in hand-wringing.

Luckily for him, he's still quite photogenic at 85--we oughtta put him on the air and let him analyze the news. (That would be awesome because he's clever, observant, and funny AF. Hee!)

Meanwhile, it's also been really interesting watching the dumpster fire trot out women he claims were raped by Bill Clinton--the same women he called "losers" at the time, loudly defending Bill Clinton as the true victim....just like he did when Mike Tyson was accused of rape. Donald "the great white grope" Trump is a yuge defender of rapists and denouncer of their victims--except when it's politically convenient for him not to be.

You don't really think Donald Trump gives a shit about Paula Jones, Kathy Shelton, Juanita Broaddrick, and Kathleen Willey, do you?

He doesn't care one iota more about them than he cares about his own blood relations. Like his nephew's sick baby, as The Daily Mail (excerpt below) and other sources report:

Donald Trump admits cutting off medical treatment for his nephew's sick baby after will dispute with alcoholic brother's family
  • Trump's older brother Freddy died an alcoholic at the age of 43 in 1981
  • When Trump family patriarch Fred Sr. died in 1999, Freddy's children were cut out of the will Donald helped draft
  • Donald admitted he reneged on a pledge to pay the medical bills for the medical care of the sick infant when the Freddy's children sued
  • Claimed Donald and his siblings had influenced their late grandfather to leave them out of his will
  • For more of the latest on Donald Trump, visit www.dailymail.co.uk/trump
Yep, you heard it: Donald John "hater of sick babies and open mocker of the disabled" Trump is such a yuuuuuge piece of shit that he denied medical care to a sick baby who was his own blood relative.

Friends, this is Donald John Trump--it's who he is now, and it's who he's been from the get-go. That orange-ass skunk don't change its glued-on stripe.

Cold and heartless don't even begin to describe Donald Trump. "Douchebag" is too light-hearted of an epithet for such a monster...the same monster who wants the proven-innocent Central Park Five executed, presumably for being Black and brown and for being uppity enough to dare prove him wrong...who twice called for Hillary Clinton's assassination...who's been loudly and repeatedly inciting his tinfoil-hat-wearing adherents to storm polling places November 8 to intimidate voters...and who's disdained democracy by taking a page out of Putin's playbook by threatening to jail Hillary when he's the one who belongs in jail!

No wonder Republicans luuuuurve Debauched Dumbass Douchebag Disgusting Donald. They are the pro-death party, after all. Now, if the baby were still in utero....

Meanwhile...

I was in my office break-room not getting lunch yesterday (call it an FML day) when I had the good fortune to catch a speech Hillary was giving during a rally in Miami about combatting climate change; Al Gore was there, and he spoke after her. Girlfriend had her facts at her fingertips--she can speak articulately, logically, and passionately...and at length, without notes or a teleprompter (am I the only one who's impressed?)...about what we need to do, how we can do it, and the tremendous benefits to us as a nation and to the world at large if we stop kicking the can down the road and start now. Friends, she wants to make us the world leader in developing and deploying technology to combat climate change. Ambitious but doable, she said. Everything she said was so spot-on. It was such a moving speech, and she presented such a positive, hopeful, and realistic vision that all I can do is hope-hope-hope we have the good fortune to see her start putting her plans into action from the White House in 2017. She said it beautifully: everything that Democrats value rests on her shoulders; if we want to see our great nation live up to those great values, then we need to vote for Hillary and vote blue all the way down.

Yeah, yeah...I see people wringing their hands that, yet again, climate change was ignored at the debate. Srsly? Don't we all know yet that Hillary has a sensible, practical vision for combatting climate change before it's too late? Don't we all know yet how Donald Trump and the Republicans would handle climate change--by ignoring it until Miami went glub-glub-glub but inland of New York City (because New York City also went glub-glub-glub) didn't miss Miami because now New York feels like Florida?

We've already seen Republican values writ large by Donald Trump's campaign: ignorance, fear, misogyny, bigotry, homophobia, Islamophobia, hatred, bullying, intimidation, threats, baseless ridicule, heartlessness, cruelty, authoritarianism, oppression, repression, white privilege, rage, vindictiveness, divisiveness, ad hominem attacks, feuding, lying, deceit, reality-behavior-science denial, doubling down when wrong, rape culture, debauchery, lewdness-rudeness-crudeness, refusal to take responsibility, blamestorming, braggadocio...and a shit-ton more I just don't feel like typing right now.

Whew!

The only reason that Republicans are up in arms about Pussygate is that they know they need white women--the only kind Donald Trump likes to assault--to vote for Trump, or he's toast. They've never counted on the Black vote, the Latino vote, the Asian vote, the LGBTQ+ vote, or the educated vote. They've relied since the days of Reagan on the white male vote, but there just aren't enough white men to put any Republican into the White House--let alone unregistered sex offender Donald Trump. Republicans need white women to vote for Trump. And I'll bet that even the self-hating, self-disrespecting evangelical women ain't all gonna bite the bait this time. Maybe they're too old and frumpy themselves to feel like objects of Degenerate Donald's hands roving up their skirts, but they gots daughters. Daughters whom they'd like to keep virginal. Daughters for whom they'd be mighty pissed if some fat disgusting old lech cough Donald cough pawed and groped them because he felt entitled.

And here I thot that Republicans hated the entitlement mindset. Someone better tell their boi Donsie Wonsie.

Which America do you want to live in: Donald Trump's America that goes back to stone age via the 1500s, or Hillary Clinton's America that's poised to take this century by the horns and ride it boldly into a better future?

Dunno 'bout-chew, buckaroo, but I'm ready to saddle up. Yee-HAW!

Then again, if Donald and his surrogates don't spread misinformation now, how will they be able to incite their base to start riots when Hillary wins the election?
  
The math says Democrats have little shot at the House. Donald Trump suggests otherwise.
...I think the chances are slim to none, which sux becuz I'd love a clean sweep, but the article makes a good point about current "throw the career politician bums out on their bums" mentality. Been there myself more than a few times.

Dear friend,





Urge President Obama to stop supporting the Saudi war in Yemen.

Take Action

"Missile strike in Yemen: Will criticism of Saudis morph into real pressure?" That's a headline in the Christian Science Monitor today.

Urge President Obama to move from criticism to real pressure by signing our petition at MoveOn.

A New York Times editorial today says:
"Airstrikes by a Saudi-led coalition that devastated a funeral in Yemen on Saturday make it clear that the United States must end its complicity in a civil war that has caused a humanitarian catastrophe in one of the world’s poorest countries and fueled extremism. It is within President Obama’s power to do so. Saudi Arabia and its Gulf state allies depend on Washington for aircraft, munitions, training and in-flight refueling."
The Intercept reports:
"Fragments of what appear to be U.S.-made bombs have been found at the scene of one of the most horrific civilian massacres of Saudi Arabia’s 18-month air campaign in Yemen."
Reuters reports:
"The Obama administration went ahead with a $1.3 billion arms sale to Saudi Arabia last year despite warnings from some officials that the United States could be implicated in war crimes for supporting a Saudi-led air campaign in Yemen that has killed thousands of civilians, according to government documents and the accounts of current and former officials."
From WikiLeaks, we learn that in August 2014 Hillary Clinton reported matter-of-factly to John Podesta, based on U.S. intelligence reports, that the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar were "providing clandestine financial and logistic support to ISIL and other radical Sunni groups in the region."

Urge President Obama to move from criticism to real pressure by signing and sharing our petition.

From Color of Change

13-year-olds shouldn't be victims of police violence
Justice For Tyre King
Demand Justice for Tyre!
A 13-year-old child was killed by Ohio police--again. Almost two years after the killing of 12-year-old Tamir Rice, Tyre King has become another victim of police violence against Black children. The police claim that Tyre brandished a BB gun, but an independent medical examiner reported that Tyre was likely running away from police when they shot and killed him.1 To make matters worse, right now Tyre’s murder is being investigated by the same police department that put his killer back to work. When the cops police themselves we already know what the result is: no accountability. We cannot allow another Ohio officer to get away with killing a Black child.

Will you stand with us and Tyre King’s family to demand an independent investigation of his fatal shooting?

Tyre’s family is not buying the police’s story of him brandishing a gun. They initiated an independent medical examination and found that based on the location and direction of the wound paths, Tyre was running away from officers. Even eye witness Demetrius Braxton, who was allegedly with Tyre at the time of the shooting, said Tyre was running away from the police when they shot him dead.2 

Tyre's family released a statement saying, "the Columbus Police Department, the City of Columbus and most importantly Tyre King and his family deserve the benefit of an investigation from a law enforcement agency that has no direct impact from the outcome of that investigation".3 And we agree. The Ohio community continues to call for Prosecutor Ron O'Brien to hold police accountable. Just four months ago, residents took to the streets to protest for O'Brien to take action after the police shooting of Henry Green  and now they're protesting for Tyre King.4 But O'Brien repeatedly fails to act.5 O’Brien needs to step aside to ensure an accurate, independent investigation takes place


Sincerely,

Scott, Rashad, Arisha, Enchanta, Malaya and the rest of the Color Of Change team

From Public Citizen--Stop America's Koch addiction by ending big money in politics

America has a Koch problem.

City by city, state by state, and nationally, the billionaire Koch Brothers are using their corporate, polluter money to capture control of our government at every level.

The U.S. Supreme Court’s disastrous Citizens United ruling — which opened the floodgates for unlimited, corporate money to pour into our elections — enabled the would-be plutocrats to play such a large role in American policymaking.

And until Citizens United is reversed, the Kochs will be able to continue their Big Business ploy, undermining efforts to save a runaway democracy and address the most crucial issues of our time — from climate change to Big Pharma’s price gouging and beyond.

Add your name if you support overturning Citizens United and stopping the Koch Empire from distorting our local, state and national elections for their own benefit.

More information is in my earlier alert, copied below in case you missed it.

Onward,

From Ruben Kihuen--Donald Trump insulted our family!

My name is Blanca Kihuen.

I'm a housekeeper here in Las Vegas.

I've been cleaning hotel rooms for 23 years, and trust me, I've seen everything you can imagine (and more).

Raising a family is hard work. But whenever things get tough, I always choose to look on the bright side.

That's what frustrates me so much about the election this year.

I've watched Donald Trump use negativity and hateful words as a wedge to divide us - and it's worked so far.

When Donald crowned Alicia Machado "Miss Housekeeping" and barked orders to keep Alicia 'in her place,' he was treating her the way all Latina immigrants have been treated, in one way or another.

Of course not everyone has hate in their hearts, but as a housekeeper and a Latina, I oftentimes feel invisible and under-appreciated. And I know I'm not alone.

But I choose to look on the bright side.

I am a member of the local Culinary Union. When a couple thousand housekeepers get together it's a safe bet that we are NOT invisible (or quiet for that matter).

Because sometimes it takes thousands of us speaking in unison, just to be heard.

We each have a light.


You have the power to make America colorful again by electing a more inclusive and diverse government to keep the American Dream alive for another generation.

My son Ruben is running for Congress here in Nevada.

That's exactly the type of future I envisioned for my children when I moved our family to the United States.


- Blanca Kihuen

-----

It’s not glamorous work.

It won’t make you rich.

But someone has to get it done. Even in the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, hotels must be cleaned so more tourists can visit Nevada.

When my mom brought our family to Nevada, she took a job cleaning hotel rooms. She has been a proud housekeeper and member of the Culinary Union here in Las Vegas for the past 23 years. My mom is the hardest-working person I know, and she does her job with love, integrity and self-respect.

She continues to work and pay taxes, which is more than Donald Trump can say.

When Donald Trump called Alicia Machado “Miss Housekeeping,” he was taking a shot at my mom and the millions of hard working Latina immigrants who have come to America to make a better life for their families.

Of all the things that Donald Trump has said throughout his campaign — including calling Mexicans rapists and criminals — this one hurt the most.

It was an insult aimed at families like mine.

But Donald Trump isn’t alone. In fact, my opponent Congressman Cresent Hardy recently said he would trust Donald with the keys to our nuclear arsenal.

I don’t trust anyone who insults my mother and my family, and I especially will not stand by while racist and divisive rhetoric is used to divide our country.


Only in America can the son of an immigrant housekeeper run for Congress.


This is the toughest battle of my life and I could really use your support.

- Ruben

Daily Kos Liberation League

More communities across the country are choosing to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day in lieu of Columbus Day. Indigenous Peoples Day honors the history and culture of Native American people and recognizes the power and importance of their voices in shaping culture and policy today.

Our government's continued recognition of Christopher Columbus Day as a federal holiday bestows honor on a legacy of enslavement and genocide. This holiday celebrates Columbus's savage conquests, which set the stage for not only the erasure of Native peoples and theft of their lands but also the Trans-Atlantic slave trade.

Sign the petition: Demand that Congress stop recognizing Columbus Day as a federal holiday.

The Standing Rock Sioux Tribe's fight against the Dakota Access pipeline proves how dangerous it is to glorify conquest and genocide. These are not merely horrific acts of a distant past. Hundreds of tribes are gathered right now to bolster the fight for recognition of their tribal nations, the rights to their own land, and even access to safe water.

There is growing support for the movement to honor native peoples and to celebrate Indigenous Peoples Day, but it is far from universal. Several cities have defeated Indigenous Peoples Day proposals, and our federal government continues to honor Christopher Columbus as a national hero.

Sign the petition: Demand that Congress stop recognizing Columbus Day as a federal holiday.

From Daily Kos--Show Darrell Issa the door!

Republican Rep. Darrell Issa spent years wasting millions of dollars in taxpayer money to conduct bogus "investigations" of the Obama administration that never went anywhere. But just like a classic bully—just like his idol, Donald Trump, in fact—he can dish it out but can't take a punch.

Issa—one of the leaders of the Benghazi witch hunt, and later called the Benghazi "investigations" a success because they hurt Hillary's poll numbers—faces his toughest re-election campaign in forever, thanks to Daily Kos-endorsed Democrat Doug Applegate, a retired Marine colonel who, unlike his opponent, isn’t afraid of the rough and tumble.

Can you chip in $5 right now to help Get Out The Vote for Democrat Doug Applegate and give the odious Darrel Issa the boot?

Applegate recently started airing a hard-hitting TV spot in which he directly links Issa to Trump. After playing a clip of Trump declaring "I'm really rich. Nobody knows the system better than me," a narrator explains that Issa likewise "gamed the system to line his own pockets steering millions in taxpayer money to help properties he owned," relying on a very negative 2011 New York Times piece about Issa's self-dealing for factual support.

So how did Issa react? Like the cowardly whiner that he is, he's threatening to file a lawsuit alleging that Applegate has defamed him! Seriously, no one in politics ever does this. It’s insane. But Issa's serious: He even sent the Applegate campaign a draft of his complaint that he's ready to file in court at a moment's notice if Applegate doesn’t cower before him.

The entire thing is nuts, though. Issa's cockamamie claim centers around a screenshot where that "gamed the system" quote is rendered in a newspaper-style headline, above a New York Times logo displayed on a slant. It’s the kind of visual technique used in a million campaign ads.

But Issa's delusional attorneys are calling this image defamatory because it "inappropriately misleads California voters by falsely attributing quotes to an article in which such quotes do not exist." They also try to claim that the article itself has been discredited because of a few small corrections issued after the fact (such as the paper printing the word "billion" when it meant "million"), even though it still lives on the Times' website. And that’s really it. Applegate’s summary of the article is totally fair—just read the piece for yourself. It’s a devastating portrait of a congressman who has used his time in office to get extremely rich, and there's just no getting around that.

Please give $5 to Doug Applegate today so that he can defeat Darrell Issa.

Keep fighting,

From Faithful America--Did Trump buy off evangelical shill Franklin Graham with other people's money?

Dear Faithful America member,

As many leading Republicans are now abandoning Donald Trump, his supporters in the religious right are doubling down. Franklin Graham, son of the famed evangelist Billy Graham, is among the worst.

He started praising Donald Trump after his organization received a large donation from the Trump Foundation, and now he's minimizing Trump's video as mere "crude comments" while attacking Hillary Clinton's "godless progressive agenda."

Graham's even used his control of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association to launch a 50-state tour of "prayer rallies" devoted mostly to denouncing President Obama and Democrats - undermining his father's nonpartisan legacy with extremist politics.

It's time for the two outside church leaders on Graham's board of directors to resign in protest: Bishop George Battle of the African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, and Greg Laurie, pastor of Harvest Christian Fellowship.

Tell board members: Resign in protest of Franklin Graham's support for Donald Trump

Thanks!

Petitioning Sally Jewell, Barack Obama

Establish the Greater Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument

Petition by Environment New Jersey
14,451
Supporters
One of the greatest things about America is that we not only have some of the most spectacular landscapes in the world but we also had the foresight to protect them. Grand Canyon National Park was created nearly 100 years ago, and it is without a doubt one of the most beautiful and beloved places in the country and the world.
The area around the park is also special. The greater Grand Canyon watershed is home to a unique array of wildlife, including the endangered California Condor, hundreds of creeks and springs that provide drinking water for millions of people throughout the Southwest, and thousands of acres of ancient forests, including the region’s largest old-growth ponderosa pine forest. Native American tribes also have sacred religious and cultural spaces in the areas surrounding the Canyon.
Sadly, the Grand Canyon and areas around it are currently being threatened by dirty and dangerous uranium mining. In all, mining companies want to open 8,300 new sites, including one mine just six miles from the Canyon’s popular South Rim.
Fortunately, President Obama can act to protect this great American icon. By creating the “Grand Canyon Heritage National Monument,” the President could permanently protect 1.7 million acres surrounding the canyon from uranium mining and the dangers that come with it.
Five years ago, the Obama Administration put a temporary moratorium on the establishment of new uranium mines in the area surrounding the Grand Canyon, so we know he is aware of the problem. However, these protections are not permanent, and the President has recently experienced negative backlash from the mining industry and some politicians in Arizona.
In order to make sure President Obama permanently protects this great national treasure, we need to demonstrate broad support for the new monument from the general public. If you believe we should protect our beautiful open spaces and prevent big companies from poisoning our drinking water for profit, add your name.

From AlterNet--Bernie says to vote for Hillary...now's not the time for a protest vote!
    
Bernie Sanders believes that with Trump on the ballot, progressives CANNOT waste their votes on a third-party candidate.

Bernie Sanders recently BLASTED progressives who plan to vote for third-party candidates this year:

I know more about third-party politics than anyone. [But] this is not the time for a protest vote. -- Bernie Sanders

Bernie understands what’s at stake this election. From women’s rights, to immigration, to addressing climate change and so much more -- progressives have way too much to lose with Donald Trump on the ballot.

Look, if you agree with Bernie that we CANNOT afford to throw away our vote as a “protest,” please sign your name today:


With the polls tightening in battleground states like Ohio, Florida, and North Carolina, this race is closer than anyone imagined.

In 2000, Ralph Nader ran as a third-party candidate -- and many believe he cost Al Gore the election. Nader won nearly 100,000 votes in Florida, which could have put Gore over the edge to win both Florida, and consequently, the White House.[1]

The more I think about
Donald Trump and the Central Park Five,
the more it bothers me.
Donald claims that,
because they confessed,
the Central Park Five should be executed.
He thinks we should ignore

the DNA evidence that exonerates them,
which makes him the perfect candidate
for science deniers.
What makes me want to duct tape my haid

is that Donald Trump also thinks
that we should ignore the confession
of the serial rapist whose DNA
did match.
Hey, Donald--

if giving a confession makes you guilty,
why do YOU want to declare the actual rapist,
who also confessed,
 innocent
and set him free
to rape and beat up
and brain damage other women?
What is it about his confession

that makes him innocent?
Hum...

maybe it IS the fact that his DNA matches.
In Donald Trump's bizarro world,

that actually makes sense.

    I get that,
    but it's recklessly irresponsible of him
    to try to hand the election to Donald Trump.
    I'm actually glad to see documents
    published in the public interest
    for greater transparency,
    but there's a YUGE difference
    between hating Hillary
    and actively supporting Trump.
    Hey, Julian--
    even if Hillary gave her big donors
    everything they asked for, she'd still do
    more good and less harm than Trump.
    Hey, Julian--
    Do you really think
    Trump would lift one stubby orange finger
    to feed a poor child?
    Balance dirty energy
    with at least some clean energy?
    Help the middle and lower classes?
    Try to balance the budget?
    Live in the same reality I do
    and thought you do?
    Hey, Julian--
    I didn't know you were a Teabagger.
    I didn't know you want to flush all of America
    down the shitter...
    make our top 1% even richer...
    and destroy the rest of us.
    I didn't know that you hate clean energy
    and love oil, coal,
    and the Koch brothers.
    I didn't know
    you hate women, Blacks, Latinos, LGBTQ+,
    and everyone else Republicans hate.
    I didn't know you want to start WWIII
    and that you hate the whole world
    and just want to watch it burn.
    If you're really serious
    about pitting your vendetta with Hillary
    against the welfare of the entire world,
    then you are a far worse piece of shit
    than Donald Trump could ever be.
    Why?
    Because you don't have his excuses...
    you understand what a disaster he is,
    but you want him anyway
    just to skroo Hillary.
    And America and the world with her.
    And that's the sad part.
    You can't even claim the high road
    as whistleblower any more...
    you are not worthy of respect or defense.
    If you think
     Donald Trump is "unpredictable,"
    you're as brain-damaged,
    irrational,
    and deluded
    as Donald Trump,
    who's perfectly predictable
    to Vladimir Putin
    and others who would manipulate him
    into the military actions
    you claim to hate.
    Hillary demonstrated this about Trump
    when she got under his skin
    with Alicia Machado.
    Do you really think
    that the welfare of America and the world
    would be safest in Putin's hands?
    Do you really think
    Putin would be less empire-thirsty
    or kill fewer innocent people
    given the free rein
    that a Trump presidency would give him?
    Does "Crimea" mean anything to you?
    The rest of Ukraine?
    Did you NOT see the warfare,
    destruction, and poverty
    inflicted by the party of Bush
    that's now the party of Trump?
    Do you NOT hear
    Trump's plans to bomb-bomb-bomb
    not only Syria
    but whoever else pisses him off?
    Have you NOT heard him ask
    three times
    why he can't use nukes if we have them?
    All they'd have to do
    is insult his dried-apricot of a face
    and dead ferret of a wig
    and there would be mushroom clouds.
    Is that really what you want?
    Really?
    Even George W. Bush,
    who is one selfish, spoiled
     fucked up motherfucker
    with delusions of grandeur,
    knows better than to vote for Trump.
    Even he isn't that deluded.
    Hillary isn't going to start any wars,
    you sick fuck--
    she's not going to waste our lives
    or our money...
    she knows we're not back on our feet yet,
    and she is committed to
    helping us get there
    because her success and her brand
    depend on it.
    Donald Trump is committed
    to helping only himself
    to our treasury...
    and he's so unhinged
    that he wants to execute
    the Central Park Five
    even though he knows they're innocent.
    He thinks climate change is a hoax
    by the Chinese...
    he is committed to frying the planet 
    as he can as soon as he can
    as a gift for his buddies in Big Oil.
    THAT is what you want in control
    of the free world.
    The fact that you would gladly hand us over
    to misogynists
    and haters
    like Trump,
    a serial sex offender
    who wants to be dictator,
    and Pence,
    who wants to jail women for miscarriages
    and have funerals for their used tampons,
    makes me think
    that maybe the rape charges against you
    really are true.
    Never thot I'd hear myself say THAT.
    If Trump gets in,
    you personally will be responsible
    for every penny he steals from the poor,
    every tear shed by a hungry child,
    and every drop of innocent blood he sheds.
    You are a reprehensible
    disgusting
    human being,
    and you are one sick mother fucker.
    You make me sick.

    Movies!

    Here's the only one I seem interested in introducing today: Randi Rhodes on Hillary's climate change talk for the Miami rally. Like I said, I found Hillary extremely engaging; everything she said resonated with me. It's funny...when I think of politicians giving moving speeches, Hillary would not have been the first name that comes to mind. But, like I said, I found her speech to be extremely moving. Powerful. Gawd, we need this woman in the White House! If dumpster fire gets in and does half of what he threatens promises, the smoking gun will be a mushroom cloud; if Hillary gets in and does half of what she promises, we'll all be MUCH better off! Yes, you soggy tinfoil Teabags--even you will be better off, like it or not.

    I recently saw a Trump campaign ad
    where a little old couple bitched
    that Hillary called them deplorable.
    Well guess what, granny--
    if you're a racist, a bigot, an LGBTQ+ hater
    if you think women should have funerals
    for their tampons
    and go to jail for having miscarriages,
    then you ARE deplorable.
    Guess what, old man--
    if you're a veteran
    because you wanted to kill gooks
    and if you think it's presidential
    to grab women by the pussy,
     then YOU are deplorable.
    If the shoe fits, assholes, wear it.
     
    Yeah--baby Bush wouldn't have had the chance
    to invade Iraq,
    or found ISIS,
    or steal billions of taxpayer dollars
    and hand them to Cheney via Halliburton,
    or flush the economy down the shitter,
    and we'd have a shit-ton more
    clean energy.
