Election

Winter

Well, here I am again, plugging away at this blog thing. The initial idea was to write something every week, but it looks like I may be settling for every season, at this point. It’s raining, which is like armageddon, here in Los Angeles. I think I’ll stay in- people loose their goddamned minds at the first sign of drizzle, even though we need it more than universal health care. Well, maybe that’s a bit much- we REALLY need universal health care. Yes- this election cycle has created some depression for me, too. I just can’t believe how many people are still supporting this dip-shit, Donald Trump. I could list in bullet points, the detritus this sociopath is serving up to the American people, but I don’t really want to get into it- actually; here:

• Mocked a man with disabilities.
• Attacked the parents of a fallen American hero.
• Belittled POWs and the war record of Sen. John McCain.
• Lied about how much money he raised for veterans.
• Called a former Miss Universe “disgusting” and fat, telling his Twitter followers to find her non-existent sex tape.
• Accused an American-born federal judge of being unfit to do his job because of his Mexican heritage.
• Likely avoided paying taxes for nearly two decades.
• Called most Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, even though that’s not remotely factual.
• Lied about seeing “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey on 9/11.
• Lied about getting a letter from the NFL complaining about the debate schedule.
• Tried to exploit the death of an African American woman in Chicago to say that’s why black voters will support him.
• Found the “bright side” to tragedies because his poll numbers tend to go up.
• Settled with the Department of Justice after his company was found guilty of racially discriminating against minorities.
• Has cheated on at least one wife.
• Was just discovered on video admitting that he not only tried to cheat on his current wife, but he attempted to do so with another married woman.
• Had his first wife publicly say that he did nothing when it came to raising their children until they were old enough to talk business.
• Tweeted that women should have expected to be sexually assaulted when they mixed males and females together in the military.
• Said he wants to target the families of terrorists.
• Stated that he wants to ban an entire religion.
• Praised a Russian president who obviously hates the U.S. and Americans.
• Encouraged the Russian government to commit espionage against Americans.
• Insinuated that another Republican’s wife was ugly.
• Tried to implicate another Republican’s father in JFK’s assassination.
• Sought out the help of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes after he was fired following multiple allegations that he had sexually harassed women for years.
• Made Breitbart’s Steve Bannon one of his top campaign people.
• Had a former campaign manager abruptly resign after a report came out linking him to pro-Russian groups that were directly trying to undermine U.S. policy in eastern Europe.
• Called Carly Fiornia ugly.
• Has said climate change was a hoax created by the Chinese — then denied saying it.
• Was a leading conspiracy theorist when it came to the racist-driven birther conspiracies against President Obama.
• Dismissed nearly eight years of accusing the president of not being an American with a less than 30 second statement where he didn’t apologize for any of it.
• Tried to blame Hillary Clinton for his racism. Re-tweeted anti-African American propaganda created by a white supremacy group.
• Played dumb about knowing who former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke was.
• Skipped a presidential debate because he was scared of a moderator.
• Has, on several occasions, suggested he finds his daughter attractive.
• Called a husband doing things like changing diapers and helping with the children, a man “trying to be the wife.”
• Has said he wants more countries to have nuclear weapons. Said he can’t release his tax returns because they’re currently being audited — even though the IRS said that’s a lie.
• Feels he has the right to sexually assault women.

Dear GOP: how proud you must be.

Until next time-
