he's down there guarding the Florida coast from a known threat of hoards of drunken criminal Scottish gangs. You know, the ones that shoot two under par......

He's now a member of the Florida National Guard.....the National 9th Hole Guard, that is......

Tactical checklist leaked to press:

* Golf carts fully charged and loaded with...
* Coolers full of Diet Coke,
* All driver club laser sights tested for accuracy,
* Spare set of fake bone-spur pads at hand,
* Full compliment of custom Titleist paintballs loaded,
* Local McDonald's placed on 24/7 standby for emergency rations,
* Two CIA-approved golf umbrella kilt grabbers per cart, and
* Club bar fully stocked with Scottish pale ale just in case they win........



Libraries will be filled with books of scorn about this bunch of miscreant Rethugs.

associated with eye-to-eye contact and is far worse than telephone calls in doing that.

That, along with the anonymity of social media and blogs has enabled far too many people to disconnect themselves from emotions and accountability associated with normal human communications - including empathy, sympathy, and humility....and even a healthy dose of fear when we insult another person.

We are slowly destroying our humanness with the coldness of the internet.......

But, it's damn good for business.......

we can never repair the social, cultural and psychological damage the Republican party has done to America. We can fix our government in time as well as our economy, but not those three core issues.

The divisiveness now in previously close families and communities, corruption of our common dialog, the erosion of our culture and history, loss of standing on the international stage, taking our public media hostage......the list goes on forever, and it's all for the sake of greed and thirst for power.

Sorry folks, but I'm a bitter old man.......

He's in good company with John McAfee. To quote Lord Acton....


And, we all know money buys unwarranted power because capitalism does not care......

We have seen so many high-tech superstars fall and fall hard after the 90s market boom.....

They're killing us with...

* a constant stream of depressing thoughts and news planted on public and social media,
* divisive and contradictory rhetoric and lies in huge daily volumes,
* implanted fear of our neighbors, the police and guns, and
* actions that destroy anything of common good - such as an effective government.

using....
* billions of right-wing dollars that originate from our own wallets,
* corrupt elected politicians to spread their dogma, and
* moral abuse of their Constitutional rights to free speech.

Some days after reading the news, I feel as if I've been mentally kidnapped.....

People are elected to public office using Constitutional and statutory processes that ideally represents the will of voters in the related jurisdiction.

A person elected under those circumstances should only be subject to removal - which invalidates the public's will - using statues and rules established by that same jurisdiction along with traditional due process.

Any persons outside that jurisdiction having concerns should express their thoughts to their elected representatives or political party officials.

Trial by internet blog or small town telephone gossip party-line undermines the foundations of justice.

Speaker Pelosi is saying: "America, I give you the best president that Putin could buy"....

or

"America, I give you proof that elections have consequences"........

Our White House had become nothing but a crisis generating machine......

Keep the rubes distracted while destroying our government one nibble at at time.....

And, PS:
Donald Trump is ignoring the law today. And no one really cares.
First Monday in February is legally the deadline for sending a president’s budget to Congress

I hope the personal stories of each and every one of those workers is plastered all over the news and also kept in our back pocket for campaigns.

It's good ammunition for not just the presidential campaign, but also for use against every Repug congress-critter that has stonewalled immigration reform for years during their career.
