What is

Normal anymore?

By T. J. Rockford

  
    WHAT IS EVEN NORMAL ANYMORE?
With a White house in turmoil such as it is all the time lately and the commander and chief playing games of chaos normal is a thing of the past!

  The fears I have are with all the bombastic behavior coming from POTUS that this volatility will become acceptable and a new way of life for everyone!

  I don't care if you're on the left or the right we all have to keep civility and ethics a priority for our future generations or all that will ensue is chaos such as what is taking place within our White House presently!

  This bombastic behavior has come out once again today as Trump was speaking in Suffolk County Long Island NY in front of law enforcement and ICE agents when he spoke of "roughing up" possible suspects.

  With all the actions happening in the country lately between society and law enforcement I don't think a comment such as he made today was anything but smart!

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/post-nation/wp/2017/07/28/trump-tells-police-not-to-worry-about-injuring-suspects-during-arrests/?utm_term=.c88e579ce2c2

  This is the person that ran on "law and order!" What I've been thinking is he confuses law and order to whatever he thinks it should be compared to what it exactly is.
  If you have been paying attention to Trumps rise and, right along through the last six months, you've might of noticed that Trump doesn't really seem to have much of a clue about a lot of things! 
  It wasn't meant to be disrespectful, even though I am quite a bit to this POTUS!, I just don't like him because of his ignorance! But despite that he just doesn't seem to have much knowledge of what the laws are within this country and, that just because you're a police officer it doesnt give you the right to violate them!

  The same thing applies to the position of POTUS! Which I don't think he has grasped! He seems to think his position is above the law!
  It dawns on me quite a bit whenever I find myself writing anything involving Donald Trump I find myself using a lot of exclamation points!
Imagine that!

  That's how complicated he has made our environment and I fear there may be no turning back- exclamation point.
  I see the generations of today with all of their crazy, wild, and violent video games with all the trade marks of Trumps rhetoric that jumps out and speaks directly to the young people of today.

  When I see the drug problem tearing this country apart along with our failing education system all I can envision is the country going down a road that isn't the American way!

  We use to stand for integrity where other countries looked up to us! These countries saw law and order from a President that could lead with respect and not by bombastic tweets.
  These countries admired how we followed law and order from a constitutional point of view, not from force!

  And then comes along Donald Trump and has totally shrugged off any type of norm, as a matter of fact anything that would be considered ethically correct, and spits in the face of the Constitution because he feels he's above it or, maybe he just doesn't understand it because he's never read it?

  The point being with the way things are rolling, what as a country do we really want to be? One of integrity or, one of no ethics with lawlessness behavior? 
  Well maybe not quite "lawless" but ignoring how our Constitution is written!

  I fear we have hit a fork in the road where there's no turning back! A portion of the country seems to love the way he talks, which is no way how I want my children to speak or behave, and the way he runs things through Twitter? Give me a break!
  How can we have a leader tweet out policy? Is this a sign of modern times? We have a lazy leader sitting on the shit can in the morning tweeting out major policies he hasn't even discussed with his staff because he just had an apithamy while sitting on the crapper?
OMG! For the love of everything sacred please Trump supporters get with the program on what's best for this country!

  Some things are better left unchanged, Such as just plain decency! I fear with the country being as young as it is we may be in for another civil war, because people just don't seem to get it! So in turn they think Trump is the answer when in fact he is clueless but, knows how to entertain, and that's good enough for a group of people that are just not all that bright!

  Once Trump is finally out of office will we ever find our "normalcy" again? That's for time to tell! 
  I sure hope for the sake of this country that we do come back to what this country is all about, and that is acceptance and compassion towards those that are suffering! It's called integrity! 

  Trump thinks loyalty is what matters most, even though with him it's a one way door, and that's because the one big thing he is lacking any of is "integrity!" To me that's what I consider "normal!" 
PLEASE  America don't forget and lose sight of that! Because if we do we will be no better then all the countries we have always strived to be the opposite of! Authoritarian shit bags!

  

Welcome to the death of Democracy

By

T. J. Rockford

  It's only been a mere 100 and something days since Donald J Trump took the office of what I use to view as the greatest position in the land. Well I'm sad to say since he has taken over,  that office which I use to admire greatly, is now tainted with more disgrace then one can possibly imagine, Or would want to imagine!

  With a title such as "The death of Democracy" one would envision some not so good factors in play, well we are seeing a lot of those things in play as this is written!
  Some would say I'm reaching a bit with such talk, but when you look at all the things happening within Washington and the actions of POTUS it's not so hard to see Democracy on the tilting edge of destruction.

  We have a President that has zero understanding of what our Democracy is even about and cares very little how he abuses it and takes it for a type of obstruction that is only in his way!

  Trump has very little intellectual understanding of much of anything from what I have seen! The man only cares about himself and how well he's being portrayed in the news. Everything that has nothing to do with uniting this greatly divided nation.

  I had said way back in his rise to running for office of how bad of an idea he would make as our President because of his horrendous track record in his business dealings.
  I had said he had zero ability to listen to advice and to heed criticism!
I believe he has some kind of issue with people thinking he may be dumb, as in stupid dumb!
  Which if you think about would make sense seeing how he has said in the past how he has a "big brain" and "gets it" because he's a "smart guy!"

  Anyone that has to reassure himself and others on this obviously has some kind of issue with how people view him.
  And to think this guy is in the most important position not to mention the most powerful position on our planet! Now this is truly scary when you put his rambling madness all in context!

  When I see the horrible partisan behavior happening in Congress and within all of the hearings with the Trump Russia thing, and the FBI thing and all the media interviews and combine it with the crazy talk spewing from the right I truly do see Democracy laying on the chopping block!

  I suppose if you know anything of history one might say it was, and is, only a matter of time before Democracy would fail.
  The sad thing is it doesn't  need to happen and I truly don't understand and can't really believe these people on the right are truly this anal that their willing to go this path and stand firm with Trump? With all of his full blown lies and behavior I really don't get why anyone would even give him the time of day!

  In my half century on this beautiful world I've never seen our country in such turmoil! All because of one man stepping up and spewing his hateful and fearful talk and so many people willing to absorb it and stand behind it truly bothers me!

  I just don't understand why so many people don't care about anything anymore? They don't care about Russian meddling in our election and instead say they've always interfered!
  The facts are the Russians have never gone as far as they have in our 2016 election but they still don't care or just don't believe it!
  Why don't people care of ethics anymore? Have we truly regressed right back to heathen caveman ways?
  It really boggles my "big brain" how little Republicans care of ethics or even the appearance of blowing over all ethics rules and care little of violating any, and all ethics rules that should apply!

  So here we are on the withering edge of everything we use to hold grand and dear all because of a lunatic that people decided to place in power! Congratulations America you wanted something different, well here you go!
The end of Democracy is as different as you can get!
  Soon all Trump supporters will be able to kiss the kings ass just like his cabinet had done just a few weeks ago! Sorry to say I'm just not the ass kissing kind of guy! Nor should any truly patriotic American want or expect to be a good and obedient servant to a master in charge!

  Apparently our education system has failed at relaying our countries history! The part where we used to be ruled by a King, and that little war that took place where we kicked out the king and his ways!
  The special part where we tried a new type of Democracy with the the writing of our independence and then our Constitution! Ring a bell?
  Granted it was all an experiment and one that had worked fairly well until the rise of Trump! Blows my mind so many would stand behind a dip shit such as him and it shows where our country really needs to be focusing on, Educating the uneducated!

OUR DOOMED PLANET!

Facts And The

Truth!

By T. J. Rockford

I'm fairly certain I don't need to bring up the facts about the truth being a scarce form of verbiage coming from our newly elected president, or for that matter from anyone in the white house!

  The unfortunate truth is, most of Trumps supporters and the majority of the republican party don't seem to care! How scary is that?

  Spreading falsehood's and lies so as to sell your idea's and hopeful agenda list is a dangerous, not to mention a scrupulous way of fulfilling your promises!

  I have an analogy I use about climate change that I believe it can be used here as well!

  "To what extent are you willing to go to?" What are you willing to sacrifice in order to fulfill your promises in "Making America Great Again" and prosperous?

Apparently Donald Trump is willing to throw out all rational thought and science fact in order to fulfill his craziness of making America financially independent! He is planning on putting into executive order a roll back of all emissions for coal fired plants and methane release! "To what extent are you willing to do this!" To the extent of plunging the world into disrepair? apparently!

  With all that is happening in America with the outrage of Trumps talk and lies, and his own party not speaking up and pushing back against his delusional remarks and comments really makes this troublesome to people like me! "To what extent are you willing to go?"

  Apparently the Republican party isn't looking at the long game here! What I mean by this, is the fact they will be pushed out for their incompetence!

  They are under the impression that Trumps delusional core supporters are enough to appease and make content!

 How wrong they are! Most of us live in reality and are smart enough to know fact from fiction! Most of us are smart enough to know what a lie is! Most of us have a moral compass, Or at least one that's working!

  Without a doubt there is a HUGE divide in this country! The problem is Trump has, and is doing nothing to help it, but he certainly is doing something to make it much worse!

  Another thing he is failing to see is the fact the majority of this country is firmly not on board with his insanity and lies!

  Despite knowing the divide he continues driving that wedge in deeper as if testing to see how far he can push us all! Maybe this is his goal? Maybe he is hoping for a civil war of sorts so he can capture some sort of complete power beyond being a mere President? After all he seems to admire dictatorship and authoritarian power quite a bit! 

  Trump has said a few times he wants the country to come together! But the way he wants this to happen is for everyone that disagrees with his lunacy to jump on board the crazy Trump train! Seriously? Yes this is how delusional Trump really is!

  We have replaced reality with falsehoods, we've been sucked into some alternate universe where those with a brain are shunned as being the enemy of our country and stupid has taken a main seat at the table!

  America is truly in trouble, and before it's to late, I would hope those in power such as in the congress and senate might step up to the plate!

Oh darn, that's right, both of those are majority led by the republican party!

 I suppose this is where we'll see common sense and truth either prevail, or we'll see it all go down like a sinking ship! Though if party lines matter more then the livelihood of our country the republican party is doomed! Potentially America could be doomed! Wouldn't Russia love to see that! I know their loving what their witnessing so far! Maybe they knew this would happen?

 Maybe this is why they helped get Trump to the white house? Maybe they knew this guy would destroy America with his fearmongering and hate talk?

"To what extent?"  To what extent is Trump willing to go? Where is he trying to bring us people that value our constitution and American way of life together? By painting a picture that immigrants are bad and all Muslims are evil? By not responding responsibly and timely about anti-Semitism events ripping through our country?

  Everything a good leader would do that all could respect and value he hasn't done, Like facts and the truth, but as an authoritarian he should get an "A!"

   

 

Twittin' Trump

Twittin' Trump!

                                                                              

                                                                               By T.J. Rockford

  At times lately I just can't help but feel like I've stumbled into some alternate universe where everything I thought made sense no longer seems to!

 

  So why is this? Well It mostly revolves around the fact Donald Trump has been elected into the most power seat in the world! Scared doesn't sum it up very well! Perplexed barely covers the feeling I'm shrouded with in these closing days to his inauguration into the white house!

  Ever since Trump had won the election I find myself walking around in a daze of disbelief that people think this con artist, and man that admits to abusing women has the capacity to excel our great nation into being greater!   

  With his  business dealings around the world that we really have no clue into the depth of his ties, and with whom because of the lack of transparency!

  As well as the fact people seem to give little care into this matter which is what really makes me scratch my head?

  How could you not be concerned with Trumps love affair with Russia and his admiration of Vlad Putin? Then you add in the lack of transparency with tax returns then it kind of paints a picture not so pretty of what might really be up with Trump!

 As if that is not enough to make you wonder, then we have the new President elect refusing to believe our intelligence agencies accusations that Russia was, and is behind the democratic hacks that helped present a slow drip of not so flattering information and behavior within the democratic party!

  Yet he still refuses to admit Russia is not a friend of the U.S. and they have no great desire to see democracy prevail around the world!

  Instead we have a man that tweets flattering statements of Putin! As a matter of fact we have a man that tweets all of his concerns, thoughts, feelings, and it shows his emotions of how much of a thin skinned man he truly is!

 

  this is where the scared part comes into play with myself! Scared at the fact we have a man in office that cannot contain and conceal his emotions! Scared at the fact twittin' is not the way to speak to the people, yet his core supporters care little of this and instead embrace this way of communication!

 

 I'll put this in a way people may be able to understand. Imagine you're a parent, and you, instead of sitting down with your family and having face to face talks, you instead do everything via Twitter! Are you getting the picture now? If not I'll elaborate a bit more!

  So say you're communicating everything with all you know via Twitter! How do you really know who may be the one you're really talking with? If the person is sending everything out via Twitter it doesn't always set out the emotional, sensible, severity, honest feeling behind the message! 

 I have a theory as to why he jumps to his Twitter feed! Well there's actually a few reasons why I think he does so! One being that he gets something in his head that he just feels the need to blurt out, and usually without thinking it out to well before he does!

 

  The other is I believe he is persuaded to instead of speaking directly to reporters! Especially if he is without a script.

If you hadn't noticed whenever he speaks from the hip he says things that don't sound very intellectual! He sounds like he isn't very well versed in the English language because he uses very simple words and seems like he has a hard time coming up with any words besides "great" and "believe me" and how can you not forget when he said he knew more then the generals! Does this sound like a man with any intellectual capacity? If you're like me the answer is "Are you kiddin' me!"

  I believe Trump and his Twitter account are not the way to do business! I believe if he continues to do so we will soon find some very hard times in store for us because of his lack of discipline for control!

  The bigger issue will be whether or not I wake up from this strange haze I seem to be entranced in! Will I ever be able to wrap my head around the fact this all is really taking place!

  I'm certain I will never understand how he won, but accepting the fact he did is a must if I ever hope to find my sanity! Maybe he will surprise me with a Tweet!

  With all the negatives I have shared with my feelings for him I could see the tweet now! Saying "You're fired!" As I'm being deported to my ancestral homeland of Scotland! I might not mind that to much at all at this point!

  Until any of this happens I guess I'll just have to continue in my world of limbo as we hang on the edge waiting to see what gets blurted out from our new President, Twittin' Trump!

Heaven help us all!

 

A world away in the

Philippines!

By T.J. Rockford

   I wanted to get back in the saddle of writing of other worldly event's that are taking shape instead of rambling on of my personal disdain for Donald Trump!
  So I've come to the conclusion I can't get away from him no matter how I cut it.

  Why you ask? Well simply put, The president of the Philippines is somewhat of a mirror image of Trump! and in to many unsettling ways, in which we will find!

  President Duterte in the Philippines took power back in June of this year 2016. He had a huge popularity throughout the country because of his brashness and bombastic ways! Sound familiar?

  The big selling point from his campaign was his plan to clean up a huge problem within the Filipino communities throughout the whole country! and that is drugs, drug dealers, and drug users!

  It has been a very serious issue within the population! as a Mayor, Duterte, took his mission on cleaning up the community to a whole new level! and one that should scare the hell out of everyone! But instead it seems as though it has taken on this popularity all onto it's own!

  Duterte's method for addressing the rampant drug problem was, and is, by killing the problem away. And yes I mean that literally!

  When I first heard of Mr. Duterte it was early on in his bid for the run for presidency. The thing that caught my attention was the fact he was well known for his tactics of forming death squads!
  These death squads were told to kill anybody that was suspected of being involved in drugs of any which way!
  In this process the death squads went around and were literally killing thousands of people known for dealing, or just using illegal drugs!

  From what I gathered of it was if in any way you were thought to be involved in any issue's with drugs "whatsoever," your number was up!

  One would think this would of scared the country to death! But in fact quite the opposite happened! By an incredibly wide margin Mr. Duterte won the Presidential race in a landslide!

   How can this happen you ask? Take a look at what's happening right here at home and you just might be able to answer this on your own!

  Since Duterte has taken office there have been around 4000 plus or minus murders of those that were (deemed) drug users/dealers.
 So in Mr. Duterte's time as Mayor he had over 3500 murders credited to his name! and in only 3 months as President an additional 4000+/- more to add to it as well.

  Usually the world would look at this as genocide of some form or fashion! But instead countries around the world have only said their worries and distaste for his methods and actions! 

 Even the Pope spoke out about what Duterte was doing! and as the brash and bombastic man does, He did! and called the Pope a "SON OF A WHORE!"

  Some were shocked at first, but since then he has openly called several people "Sons of whore's!" Even President Obama got the blunt end of the stick! Obama got a "Go to hell" to boot!

  The scary thing here is this populist belief that Duterte is doing the "right thing" within his own country!
  Because of this I compare him to Trump because Trumps views of people seem to have a foothold in America and this should be very concerning! I really shouldn't have to point out how well this all worked out back in the 1930's and 40's in a place called Germany I hope?

 This popularity grip is what I don't have any taste for whatsoever! I'm talking of Trump's rise with his fear mongering tactics and his hate filled views! 

  I hear it at his rallies with people talking of a revolution! I see it on Twitter of people in office that should no better of making comments of it's "Pitchfork time if Clinton wins!"
  There was one man screaming "Jew.S.A" instead of U.S.A. at all the camera operators and the media.

  Yes to me it sounds very much the Republican party is seeing a moment of having some kind of rise to power and fueling the fire to a large group of angry (mostly) uneducated people!

  This sure doesn't seem to smart! Politicians throwing gas on the fire knowing what this could cause! Or do they?
  
 I doubt all these suck up republicans that are choosing party over country have thought of what were to happen if the Donald gets elected and comes out and announces they have discovered wide spread corruption within the Senate and Congress, In both the Democrat and Republican party?
  So much that he feels he needs to acquire full and complete executive control and power until everything can be figured out!

  It's not even a matter of if it's legally possible for him to do this! after all he has spewed of corruption and everything being rigged! I imagine all those brainwashed die hard conspiracy theorist believers will bite on to this idea with a pit-bull ferocity!
  A man with a large following willing to take things to a whole new level! What do you suppose would happen if Trump started crying about something like this? The Donald gaining complete power? Sounds just like everything he talks about! Being the center of greatness! Only he can do everything perfectly! He's smarting then the generals! He says our military leaders are losers! This should scare the hell out of everyone! People need to open their eyes and wake up! TRUMP ONLY WANTS WHAT TRUMP WANTS FOR HIMSELF! 
Trump isn't in this for the people! He's in it for the attention of the people! HE LOVES ATTENTION! 
  If you think this is nothing but hyperbolic talk you haven't actually taken a serious look into the life of Trump! Look back into his years and all of his current rhetoric! Just go back and watch him at the debates! The first debate he was a mess! It took all of his willpower just to get a sip of water without dropping his glass! THAT WAS SCARY! 
At that moment I witnessed a man on the verge of collapsing where he stood but somehow managed to impress his masses!

  Trump has no idea how to lead a country! He has no idea of anything to do with foreign affairs! What he does know, is what people want to hear! HE IS A SCAM ARTIST! I understand some people only hear what they want, but come on! How can so many not see he's a phony,  fake, fraud, and a man only out for the glory for all to admire? 
  I believe the Republican party is getting in way over their heads with this rise of Trump! I see two possible things happening and neither is very good for the fate of the party! Or for that matter all of America as we know it! Careful what you wish for!

  Personally If I shared how I really felt about these people that talk of such things as starting a "Civil war" if they don't win! All it would do is make me sound as bad as them!

 But hey, if a person is openly going to say their willing on killing me because I don't think their candidate is fit for office I say screw you! 
  I have certain morals and ethics (I believe) are the same as most stable and sane people! I hope anyway! Plus I love my country! and I love what our Democracy represents and stands for! This I would, and I will, stand for and uphold if it were ever to come under attack! as some of these people suggest!

  This is where the two lines cross between Trump and Duterte with their popular brash and bombastic beliefs and ideologies!

  Duterte has taken things a step even further saying he wants to break ties with the U.S..
 Which now, instead wants to grasp the hand of China! Which why not? Their right up his alley! 
 The Chinese don't mind his killing spree and they openly told him this! The Chinese have zip in the way of any human rights interest just as long as the people at the top aren't the ones being beat and abused!

 So I'm sure they will have a fond relationship! I just feel bad for all the innocent Filipinos that might get the raw end of this stick!
  Just as I worry of a Trump Presidency! In all honesty I worry of a Hilary Clinton in office as well! But the one thing I believe is at least she will listen to people and her adviser's! Unlike we have seen in Trump's entire life! He has listened to nobody! Nor has President Duterte in the Philippines. Another thing they have in common!

  With all of Duterte's bombastic remarks he has said towards the United States his clean up crew have swiftly jumped into action and tried cleaning up his harsh talk!
  I absolutely agree that every country should embrace their freedom's and independence! But with all smaller countries it's wise to have friends not make powerful enemies! Which Duterte taking China's hands, I'm not sure is such a wise idea! I say this because he has stated he wants nothing more to do with the U.S.! And this should be very concerning!

  Another big thing Trump and Duterte have in common is the fact they both really, really love flattering talk! and the special red carpet treatment!
   The scary thing here is the people and the countries that are throwing out all the nice talk and treatment! They sure aren't alias, or at least haven't been up until now! and both eat this type praise up despite all the possible dangers with this coming from countries such as China and Russia!

  In the case of Duterte the Chinese have rolled out the red carpet for him! with all the bells and whistles possible with his recent visit to mainland China. Duterte apparently was instantly swayed to embrace China's hand and at the same time say he was throwing the U.S. under the bus!

  A world away in the Philippines I am constantly reminded of what we are dealing with here at home!
  I by no means am thrilled with our choices this year! But I get what's at stake here! Trump is the most dangerous thing to happen within this country since, since, well since forever!
  When you look into what has happened in the Philippines with the rise of Duterte, a man that is highly offensive and has very little in knowledge in what is politically smart, Well it really sounds eerily familiar!

  Despite the fact I try to find more to talk of besides, "just this election," with all else that is happening in our erratic world today! 
 Unfortunately with almost every corner I turn I still find issues that would drag me right back into things that are, or will still be affecting this crazy election!
  I have been saying for awhile now that I get the apprehension with Clinton, (of course for all those well known reasons!) But if you look at Trumps history he is equally as much of a disgrace with much more to add on top of that!
  The thing that separates it all for me is the fact that Trump is a horrible person in every which way! 
  Speaking entirely for myself I can in no good conscience support the type of person Trump is! I will not sway because of my spiritual and moral beliefs! As some of the more outspoken evangelical  say, "they can and will tolerate and forgive Mr. Trumps never ending barrage of repulsive comments! 

I say hypocrites to all! 
Of course these are only my views! You are entitled to yours as well! Well for now anyway! This may all change in the very near future!
  
    

  

R.I.P Democracy

2016!

By T.J.Rockford

So, I'm really not really sure where to begin with the crazy rhetoric Donald Trump has been spewing about massive wide spread voter fraud!  Of course there's an (and,) Because with Trump there's always more!

  So anyway (and,) he is saying it's "all rigged against him!" Like everything from widespread voter fraud, The election is rigged, the media is rigged because their all biased against him! 
  The Clinton's have some kind of secret world power that's working against him, and even the big banking world is somehow magically casting some special powers to sway the whole rigged election against him!

  WOW! That was a huge mouthful! The one thing I have come to understand about the population that is still supporting Trump, (Like his die hard core), is the fact they believe all this insanity!

  They literally believe there is some dark world order in the works here! and all of it is playing against this man! The man they view as the only one to battle this evil empire and guide them into riches with roads made of gold!
  Sound familiar? Sure it does! Every good cult needs a charismatic showman for a leader!
I'd recommend to his followers not to drink the kool-aid should he throw a party!

  First off, if there were some rich, powerful, dark world order out there? The last person I would put my faith in is some rich billionaire such as Donald Trump leading the charge against it to protect and save me!

   Especially one that he himself has been a part of at hurting the working class little guy like myself!

  He has run Trump University, that has been run out of several states because of scamming thousands of people out of hard earned cash! This is no conspiracy theory either! 
  This was proved by law enforcement in Texas, but instead of doing the right thing Gov. Greg Abbott, which was the attorney general at the time, let Trump skate and pack his medicine wagon up to head west to California! Where once again he continued to scam loads of Americas out of their hard earned money!

   

  This whole Trump University at this very moment is in the process of going to court for the people of California that were fraudulently relieved of their money. So yes this is a very real issue!

  Some points to be made about the Trump University is it had been in Florida as well! It had been sent packing, but as in the same case as Texas, Florida attorney general Pat Bondi didn't bring up charges! Why?

   Well if you look at the political ambitions of both these attorney generals, from both states, Florida and Texas, you will notice they both ended up receiving financial support from Trump when they went to further their political careers! Go figure!

  Pretty obvious what happened whether you want to believe this or not! It is without a doubt a pay off which anybody with any intelligence and sense could see!

  I have no doubt in my mind that these two, at the time attorney generals, received more then just campaign financing from Trump! I bet if someone actually did some digging they would find much more at play here!

  Think about where an attorney general could go after bringing down a rich tycoon such as Trump? They would have their future handed to them on a silver platter! So why didn't they pursue it? 
  Aren't attorney generals suppose to protect the people of their state? Think Texas had Trump dead to right busted! They had undercover officers attend the Trump course and proved they were scamming the people of Texas out of their hard earned money!

  Only a fool would not see there was something more at play, But fortunately it never received the attention it should of until it hit California! People finally said this is enough! 
  Trump is finally being sued and rightfully so! Because he has scammed and stolen money from average AMERICANS wanting at a chance of reaching success such as they were told they could through Trump University!

  This is not the first time he has screwed average working class Americans out of money! Or money owed to them from Trump! He has habitually stiffed people that supplied services to him. 
  Presently he has over 4000 law suits against him! 4000! Think about that?

  These are AMERICAN CITIZENS! So how can he say he is running for the Presidency for the people? When all he has done is screwed the people over! What the hell! 
  
  So maybe if he somehow does get elected, instead of just screwing over tens of thousands of us Americans, he will screw over the whole lot of us! Why not? He's never cared about who he's done it to so far! 
  Think about this for a second, Trump is already a rich man! So what if he does run the country into the dirt? Such as he did to his casino's! 
  Think about losing a BILLION DOLLARS in one year owning CASINO'S! Casino's are in no way "losing type's of business's" but somehow Trump did!

  You know why he did? Because he wouldn't, and didn't listen to everyone that was telling him this was going to happen! The key point here is, "HE DIDN'T LISTEN!" Nor did he care how many people or who he hurt in the process!

  So what makes all of his supporters think he'll listen to his adviser's if he does get elected? I keep hearing people say, "Well I don't really like him, Or trust him! But I'm confident he'll listen to his adviser's and go the right course!"

  People have not been listening! Or they don't want to believe! They think the media is crooked so all this stuff is made up to hurt him! Well in the case's I just brought up, They are 100% all him and true!

  Trump has not even listened to his own adviser's during this election! He has been notoriously known for not listening and "just doing his own thing!" 

  Sure this defiant Trump people love! The guy against the establishment! The problem here is Trumps core supporters can't win the election! But they do believe him! And this is where it gets scary with all of his talk of a rigged election, and he may not concede at the outcome!

  Trumps tough defiant talk attracts the masses without a doubt! But there's a large majority of these supporters that are willing to take his talk to a whole new level of violence which is a huge threat!

  Trump has stirred up the pot so much that there's people openly talking of bloodshed on the outcome of this election! So what does this mean? Should we worry? Well I'm worried just knowing people in our country are willing to kill someone, like myself, a fellow American!  Just because I believe Trump is a huge threat, not to just this nation, but to the entire world as well! So because of this I have to worry about being shot? 

  These people don't understand what our country is all about! Nor of how it came to be! This is why when you look at the poll's, Trumps largest core supporter's are uneducated white people! They apparently know nothing of what the foundation of our democratic nation is all about! But because they don't like it they are willing to threaten the very democracy, (we Americans), are all entitled to! Our individual right to vote for who we want without threat or persecution!

  There are a large number of Trumps core supporters that do believe in these whacked out conspiracy theories! So they eat up all these conspiracies he throws out! 
  Just so everyone is aware of this, a lot of these people are so heavily into conspiracy theories. like there being some dark secret government, and a large lot of them even believe our government has secretly been working with aliens from outer space! They even believe these aliens are doing experiments on people out in the desert somewhere and our government knowingly let's them! I'm being completely serious here! and this shit worries me to death! What the hell are these millions of people willing to do?
  
  Hell we've seen what's happened in the past with cult leaders that had amassed hundreds of followers that were willing to follow their leader to death!
  So what could really be potentially possible here with millions of lunatics with guns that have had the truth distorted so much they believe Clinton's trying to take their rights to bare firearms away?

  Can people understand what kind of threat these people could potentially be because of these whacked out beliefs? They think our country is behind it all and they feel like their in eminent danger if Clinton becomes elected because of stretched out lies! 

  Because Trump plays to their fears! and even incites some! He listens to their crazy talk then he shouts it out on his megaphone to the masses that the government is corrupt and rigged and now the media is even against the people!

  This talk is crazy! That is unless you're trying to start your own media empire! OH! Now wait a minute! Think about that all of you suckers out there that may be thinking all of his horse pucky is real and true!
  Yes of course this is the reason he is trying to turn off all of his supporters to all, and I mean all and every other form of media outlet out there! From main stream media to social media, paper form, magazine form, every form!
  He is dumping on them all so he can sell you "HIS BRAND!" all you silly sheepish suckers!

  This is right! He never wanted to win this election! I mean really come on! Why the hell would this guy with the worst history with temperament, and his terrible track record with people of color and women want this? Why would he want to get tossed into the spot light knowing he would never win and possibly be destroying his brand name in the process if he failed?
  He wasn't going to fail! He was going to sell his whacked out brand to all the whacked out masses that will believe, like, listen, embrace his lunacy because he knows theirs a huge mass out there that do believe all these YouTube conspiracy hacks!

  Mr. Trump is going to become a media mogul because he knows there's a ton of money in it! Especially if you can get that following, like the one that has embraced with his rigged conspiracy hate talk!
  The horrible thing with this is, he has opened a door to this part of America that has no place in America for it! Hate, conspiracy, hate the government and bring bloodshed type talk has no room in America!
  The only thing that will come from this is Mr Trump will go down in history for being a form of democratic terrorist! He, as far as I'm concerned, is a threat to this country way more then any Muslim terrorist!

  This of course is just my view! I think he is anti-American and unpatriotic! The only thing he cares about is himself! He cares about MONEY! He doesn't care about you or me!  I wonder how much he cares about his own family? He will say what you want to hear, especially if he knows you'll listen! 
  I think he is the biggest disgrace this country has to show to date with his lack of patriotism! He will go down in history possibly for the jack ass that ruined America! and the only people to blame are the fools fueling is insanity and stupidity! Congratulations!

  As a note I want to make it clear that have no disillusions that the government doesn't have corrupt entities! The one thing I know is Trump sure isn't going to do a thing to change any of it! If anything he will just burrow himself further into that exact same type corruption he yaps about so much!
  He isn't wanting this position just to help the "little guy!" His agenda is much more real then any conspiracy theory! People should start looking at things more for as they really are instead of some fairy tale he is spinning! The hash tag on this should be #GetReal!
