The guy still doesn’t get it. I suspect he never will…

The guy just doesn’t get it…                                                                                          A number of politicians, journalists, and political strategists in the news, mentioned their surprise that President Trump “blew it,” with his words on Saturday (08/12/17) when he placed blame on the  “many sides,” who were involved in the violence in Charlottesville. Monday (08/14/2017), when after two days of very harsh criticism from all corners, and clearly some coaching, the President finally readdressed the shocking Charlottesville, Virginia demonstrations over the weekend, he did place more direct blame on the KKK, the neo-Nazis, and White supremacists.

Most who heard the President’s words on Saturday and then again Monday thought “too little too late.” They weren’t exactly buying into his Monday clarification… partly because his message was delivered only after he hyped his business success, partly because many thought he wasn’t sincere, and partly because the President so often seems to not truly understand or feel the words he is reading off the TelePrompTer.

Then came Tuesday’s mini-press conference in the lobby of Trump Tower… Unbelievable! Not really, not anymore. With Mr. Trump, what you see is exactly what you get. Unfortunately, there seems to be a great number of those who voted for him who will always be Trump supporters. I’ve said it many times before and I will continue to say it… Our President is an idiot. He just doesn’t get it. He neither understands nor cares about the issues, nor about people in general. So who is this pretend President? Who is this out-of-control jerk? Who is he really? At times, over these last few days, it almost seems like Donald Trump is pimping for the Nazis. He is a disgrace to the United States of America, both in action and words.

 

Heather Heyer                                                                                           (Facebook)

The bottom line…                                                                                                           As I finish writing this soon-to-be-posted blog, the memorial service for Heather Heyer is playing on television. Heather was the young woman run down by a Nazi behind the wheel of the weapon known as a car, the weapon of a terrorist and a coward. There were many in the view of the target, of this Nazi bastard, and many were hurt, some seriously… only Heather was killed. And from what I have seen, read and heard, this young, caring, giving woman was the last person anyone would ever want to harm. At her memorial service, her mother said- “They tried to kill her to shut her up… well guess what? They just magnified her.” The applause was resounding. Her legacy will live on forever… and if nothing else, as sad as it might be, we are all fortunate for that.

I have a 35-year-old-daughter. I cannot imagine losing her under any circumstances, let alone to violence. When I hear the stories of what a wonderful young girl and young woman Heather Heyer was, it brings tears to my eyes. I’m sure the strength it takes for her parents to be interviewed or speak to the press, or at her memorial service, comes from the strength they saw in her. In some instances they are hearing stories for the first time, of Heather’s greatness as a caring human being, now being told by those friends who knew her for years, at play, at work, in life. God bless Heather Heyer, her family, her friends, and all who believe in a better world.

I will close today with President Obama’s tweet of August 12, 2017. It was his response to the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia. It is reportedly “the most liked tweet ever,” which I’m sure will bug the hell out of Trump. The quote in the President’s tweet comes from Nelson Mandela’s autobiography, Long Walk to Freedom. The photo Obama used in his tweet is of himself smiling at several very young children of different races, in a window. ”No one is born hating another person because of the color of his skin or his background or his religion… 

Peace. I am Bob Danon, and integrity does matter.

After the last couple of weeks, it’s hard to know where to begin…

After the last couple of weeks, it’s hard to know where to begin…

 

I never lie…

Another couple of weeks from hell is quickly turning into the year from hell…
Not all of it is about Mr. Trump but so much is… The Trump Doctrine seems to revolve around deceit, misrepresentation, bullying, bragging, misogyny, an apparent total lack of interest in anything that isn’t about himself, an unwillingness to familiarize himself with the Non-Trump-issues-of the day, and the endless, lying by him and his talking heads.

Our President is a chronic liar… I can’t help but wonder when all the lying will stop, and when members of Team Trump’s BS squad will walk away because they’ve had enough. To name only a few on that team: One must start with (knowingly or not) Vice-President Pence, followed by Kellyanne Conway, Sean Spicer (who resigned for any number of reasons), his replacement Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and multiple others in the White House. They lie for the boss, and they know they’re lying. How could they not?

Please believe me, I take no pride in the statement “our President is a chronic liar.” In many ways, it hurts to say it. And I, like you, want better for our country, and certainly better from our President, who apparently believes being a * LieOnopolis will divert our attention from the real issues of the day… Tweet, twit, twat, that’s our Prez…

Then there are those too-often seen or heard lying, Trump supporters, regularly pitching their Trump BS on the television news shows. Jason Miller, Jack Kingston, and Jeffery Lord stand out the most to me. Jeffery Lord was fired last week by CNN for sending out a tweet to a Liberal activist that had the Nazi salute, “Seig Heil” in it. Personally, I’m going to miss Jeffery. He was one of Trump’s top liars, forever making a fool of himself with endless lies and embellishments, which only solidified what a lying, ignorant buffoon Mr. Trump is.

They seem to have no conscience or remorse for the very obvious lies they spew forth on Mr. Trump’s behalf. And when cornered, they always seem to talk away from the lies, and start bringing up Hillary and Bill stories, which are totally irrelevant at this time. The election is over!

North Korea…
Now Mr. Trump didn’t create the problems in North Korea. Those issues have been on-going for 72 years – So the question is, when will that fella in North Korea understand that making threats, or starting a war, with or without nukes, will only mean his demise? And if he decides to fire off a nuke or two or more, he will most likely seek to exist. His country and most of his people will cease to exist, and they certainly deserve better than he and his predecessors have allowed.

North Korea desperately needs and deserves cooperative help from China, Japan, Australia, the United States, Russia, India and any number of other caring countries who are willing to reach out, all in an effort to help save a population of millions of starving, cheated “Koreans,” most of whom have no idea there is a vibrant and willing-to-help world beyond their borders. China must lead the way by enforcing the recent, unanimous, UN sanctions against the North. We shall see.

 

Who does care about decent and affordable care?
The GOP had seven years to tweak, repair, and make the Affordable Care Act (a.k.a., Obamacare) better. Endless, unsuccessful, attempts to repeal went nowhere and when push came to shove, McConnell and his cronies offered little of substance. Those responsible should be embarrassed and ashamed for wasting time and dollars. It’s about taking care of US citizens, and not just getting re-elected. And Mr. Trump seems to be more bothered by the name “Obamacare” than what it is meant to provide, even after it is repaired. Another example of a true lack of understanding vs. something being named after a predecessor.

There are many countries in this world who take far better care of their citizens than the United States does. It’s about time, the good old, U. S. Of A., figured it out, stopped insurance companies from ripping us off, and created affordable health care for all US citizens. I strongly suspect it won’t happen in my lifetime, if it happens at all.

The bottom line…
That week(s) from hell will continue to repeat itself until Trump is out of office. He has no business being involved in matters he neither understands nor respects. The fact that our President is a chronic liar only jeopardizes every issue he or his lying surrogates address…which seems to be almost every, single, issue. North Korea may force our hands with regard to defense. Our only saving grace might be the Generals and the very few true statesman on the Trump Team. Mr. Trump surely can’t be trusted… He understands so little. In addition, we must consider the apparent mistrust and failing belief our allies have in the United States. As for Affordable care, there are no excuses. Our elected officials at all levels need to get it done or get the hell out of town.

It frightens me to wonder what next week might bring…

Monday, 08/14/2017 add-on- Next week is here and the topic is Charlottesville, Virginia. Let’s start with “Dump Trump,” and see what all we can improve on after that. By way of the 25th Amendment, it will take two-thirds of both houses of Congress, and it won’t be easy… but it needs to be done, and soon. It’s time the Republicans and the Democrats united as one and got rid of this ignorant, self-centered bum. Those who voted for Trump and change, are getting far more than they anticipated  and our country should be embarrassed… Enough already!

Peace. I am Bob Danon, and integrity does matter.

 

                            

This week’s NeWerd is… * LieOnopolis An orange maned, king-of-the-jungle-wannabe, who apparently believes he wears a crown and can become a dictator like his buddy in Russia. Trust me, it ain’t gonna happen.
