Trump's Art of Taking Credit For Things He Didn't Do

Good Day World!

In the course of my life I've seen a lot of people taking credit for things they didn't do.

Usually the claims were about small things in life - like when an office manager took credit for work that others did.

However, I never considered this bad habit could be taken to an art form until Trump bumbled into the Oval Office.

Trump's reputation for lying - with 1628 documented lies last year alone - is only exceeding by his ability to exaggerate like a modern day P.T. Barnum.

To launch the new year with style, Trump tweeted:

"Since taking office I have been very strict on Commercial Aviation. Good news - it was just reported that there were Zero deaths in 2017, the best and safest year on record!"

I, and experts in commercial aviation, call bullshit on that ridiculous claim.

Here's the deal:

The Aviation Safety Network, a group based in the Netherlands, noted that it was a record year worldwide for safe commercial airline travel.

The reason why was it was the first year there were less than 100 deaths for the first time since 1946. Quite an accomplishment.

Meanwhile, back in the USA, safety experts say that the lack of fatal crashes this year in America was the result of years of effort to improve technology and training.

Trump didn't sign one piece of paper about airline safety, or new rules. That's a fact that can be checked by anyone.

Despite that, it didn't bother the Liar-In-Chief who would take credit for the sun coming up in the morning if he could get away with it. That day may not be too far off for the puppets that support him.

Once again he took credit for something he had no part in without blushing, or even batting an eyelid.

His blindly loyal base will never fact check it, and he knows it. As for the rest of the world...we'll shake our heads in disgust and pray that Trump gets lockjaw someday.

Without a doubt, Trump's ability to take credit for things he didn't do will become an art form to be copied by his mindless minions in the years ahead.

Time for me to walk on down the road...

Study Says North Carolina Not A Functioning Democracy

Good Day World!

Andrew Reynolds, who has monitored elections across the world, recently exposed what's happening in North Carolina, and it's not pretty.

In 2012, Reynolds, and his Danish co-worker, Jorgen Elklit, developed a road map for evaluating democracies throughout the world.

They called it the Electoral Integrity Project (EIP). Since then they have evaluated 213 elections in 153 countries. 

Reynolds, born in North Carolina, was surprised to see the most recent report released by the EIP stating, "The state can no longer be considered a fully functioning democracy."

In the report, North Carolina's overall electoral integrity score of 58/100 placed it alongside authoritarian and pseudo-democracies like Cuba, Sierra Leone, and Indonesia.

The state did so bad on legal framework and voter registration that it ranked with Iran and Venezuela! 

Here's the kicker, not only is North Carolina the worst state in America for unfair districting, but the worse entity in the world ever analyzed by the EIP.

Wow!

The report concluded that the local government has become arbitrary and detached from popular will, and that the GOP is guilty of ignoring democratic principals in voter registration, poll culling, gerrymandering and all of the other methods of ensuring electoral results in their own favor.

The Republican party was well on it's way to eliminating fair elections before Trump slithered into office. His presidency however, has been a boon for the alt-right and corrupt Republicans.

Nowhere To Hide in 2018: Words Out - 'Emperor Donny' Has No Clothes On!

Good Day World!

There's nothing like a good cup of coffee after celebrating New Year's.

For some, like me, that coffee is a necessity. Without that caffeine blast I'd be like a zombie the rest of the day.

Today's topic:

For most of last year congressional Republicans tried to pretend Trump wasn't an egotistical, racist maniac with dementia.

By year's end the GOP was divided after Trump revealed the true depths of his depravity by trying to destroy our democracy in 12 months.

As far as the rest of America...the majority was able to see that besides having small hands, Trump also has a very small dick.

In the waning six days of 2017, Trump played golf and sent out nasty tweets to the world. Of course, when Trump found out he was being filmed golfing he took steps to stop that.

It was a moment of glaring truth when a Trumpie pulled up in a van to block the news crews from recording the Liar-In-Chief on the links.

Guilt for claiming Obama played too much golf? I highly doubt that. The man is shameless. He just doesn't want his base to catch him flat-out lying about what he's been telling them.

To assure future news crews that there would no longer be good views, a crew came in and planted fully grown trees in all the gaps that allowed for a view of Trump's golf course.

I wonder how many Trump supporters were aware of it? Just guessing, but I suspect very few, as they enjoy their fake news like Fox & Friends, or at Brietbart News, who wouldn't cover anything remotely negative about their master.

But the overall revelation by our intelligence communities that Russia interfered with the 2016 election, and did what it could to help Trump win, was the real eye-opener.

That, followed by a conspiracy between Trump and his campaign staff and Russia, which is still rolling out like a serial drama.

While Mueller's special investigation continues to connect the dots, the evidence piles up for a case of obstruction of justice on Donny's part.

It looks a lot like Trump's not going to have anywhere to hide - with the exception of his golf courses - in 2018.

Time for me to walk on down the road...
