Trump vs Women: A Lifelong Assault Against Females

Good Day World!

Trump has never respected women.

His own mother pondered what she did wrong in bearing such a misogynistic son.

Trump married his first wife, Czech model Ivana Zelníčková in 1977. They had three children.

After cheating on her with actress Marla Maples, Trump divorced her and married Maples. They had one child.

Then he cheated on her - like the previous marriage his cheating was widely covered by the media - with Melania Knauss.

After divorcing Maples, Trump married Melania and they had a child.

But Trump's interest in harassing women in the workplace and in public never ceased. The following link is a quick example: 

Donald Trump and Billy Bush recording and Donald Trump sexual misconduct allegations

Last year, audio emerged from the long-running Howard Stern radio show, where Trump can be heard over the years discussing his daughter Ivanka’s “voluptuous” curves, his promiscuous sex life, and his lewd behavior during his ownership of the Miss Universe pageant.

The recordings, first uncovered by CNN, span 17 years of appearances by Trump on Stern’s show, where the two frequently engaged in sexually explicit conversation.

Last week, three of the women Trump sexually harassed appeared on The Today Show and followed that up with a press conference calling for Congress to investigate their claims.

Two days ago, another woman stepped forward, Melinda McGillivray, and said Trump groped her in 2003. She also demanded an investigation by an Ethics Committee.

You'd think at this point in time, the #MeToo women's movement would generate enough interest to finally hold Trump accountable.

Despite his claim that because the American people elected him they gave him a free pass on his past treatment of women...he's dead wrong.

His rise to power came from tribalism (I've said this before) not because people thought he was honest, and always treated women with respect.

That was apparent after last year's election during the exit polls. They showed that over 70 percent of Americans didn't think he was trustworthy ,or had the right temperament to lead the country.

But those die-hard conservative voters didn't allow anything to deter them from supporting Trump. They hated Hillary Clinton that much, and Trump promised many things that appealed to the fringe elements in our country.

These same die-hard supporters will continue to believe anything Trump tells them - regardless of reality, or the truth.

So, it's up to the rest of the country to lean on our spineless representatives in Congress to hold Trump to account for his lifelong assault against females.

'Tis The Season Where The GOP Loses All Morality

Good Day World!

Before this day is over, Republicans will lose a seat in the senate, or will bring a child-molester to Congress (which has threatened to have an ethics committee look into the allegations against him the moment he's seated).

Either way, Republicans are going to pay the piper.

The bad news for the GOP is it doesn't end there. 'Tis the season to go after men who've sexual assaulted women, and got away with it until now.

And we all know what that means! Time to trot out Donny Little Hands accusers who are still looking for justice. I watched three of his accusers tell their stories on the Today Show.

When these brave women went from the Today Show to the media demanding a Congressional ethics investigation, I was delighted to see the subject resurface.

That's because the American people didn't give Trump a pass (as the White House claims) on the sexual harassment charges.

Sarah Sanders Says 2016 Election Ended The Debate About Trump's Treatment of Women. Not exactly.

What happened was an acute case of tribalism where Republicans held their noses and voted for Chump...in spite of his history of disrespecting women.

Now it's time for Donny to pay the piper. These women aren't just going to sit back and continue to be humiliated by our Liar-In-Chief.

I'm waiting to see what if the Summer Dervos defamation lawsuit is going to go forward. When Chump called her (and the other women) a liar she pushed back, and is now waiting for her day in court.

May it come soon.

If the judge allows her case to go forward (possibly opening the way for others to get aboard) Chump's credibility will take another blow.

By backing a child molester, Lump has shown where his sympathies lie...and it's not with the victims. He sees a kindred spirit  in Moore the molester.

The bottom line is regardless of what happens in today's special election in Alabama, Republicans are in a no-win situation.

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

Misplaced Loyalty: GOP Party Taking The Low Road

Good Day World!

Tomorrows special election in Alabama is a crossroad for Republicans - either they cede all morality and justice for women being sexually harassed, or they vote for Roy Moore.

Despicable as it may seem, party over anything else, the GOP has chosen to walk in lock-step with Trump and forego any attempt at showing they have a conscience or sense of morality. 

Because Trump has been getting away with dismantling the government with the help of his appointed corrupt cabinet, the GOP sees him as they're only hope.

Trump demands, and gets loyalty from his minions. When someone resists kissing his ass, like ex-FBI Director, James Comey for instance, he gets rid of them.

The GOP state party in Alabama (perhaps encouraged by Trump) has "loyalty rules" that bars its members from publicly backing Moore's opponent. No matter how they feel.

If they do, they can be barred from ever running as a Republican again.

The whole problem here is misplaced loyalty.

It starts at the top when Congress allows itself to be bullied by Trump, in the vain hope some of their agendas might be passed.

When people voted for Trump, it was out of misplaced loyalty.

They didn't care if he sexually harassed women most of his life - and bragged about it. He was a Republican, and that's all that mattered.

Voting for Trump was a watershed moment that steered America away from the high road, and down into the abyss of racial conflict, corporate corruption, and the 1 percent of wealthy Americans ruling the country.

When Alabama holds its election tomorrow, we'll see how far gone the GOP party is.

Either they reject a molester of underage girls, or they send him to Congress.

21st Century Blues: It Isn't Such a Wonderful World After All

Good Day World!

When Jazz icon, Louis Armstrong, recorded the single hit, "What A Wonderful World" in 1967, there were millions of Americans who agreed with him.

But society goes in cycles, and now in the 21st Century most Americans don't think it's such a wonderful world after all.

A new report released by the American Psychological Association (APA) reveals that 57% of Americans say the current political climate is a “very” or “somewhat” significant source of their stress, and close to half of Americans say the outcome of last year's election causes them stress.

Here's APA’s annual Stress in America study. 

8 Reasons for Depression

1. Toxic food: Poisoning your brain so it cannot function properly

2. Heavy metal toxicity: The silent saboteur

3. Lack of nature: Avoiding what grounds your body

4. Psychological attachments: Unwittingly seeking old, familiar misery again and again

5. Consumerism: Desiring stuff that makes you feel empty

6. Lack of exercise: Willingness to feel lethargic

7. Ignorance about feelings: Trapping negative emotions in your body

8. It's a diagnosis: Promoting depression

To drill deeper on these categories go here.


Experts point out that the bottom line with depression may be how hard it is to shake off.

People can make lists of the things they know they can do to feel better, but seldom follow up on them.

Sometimes, people can be their own worst enemy.

'Trump Attendance At Museum Opening Is An Insult' - Rep. John Lewis

                                     Good Day World!

I think Rep. John Lewis, and Rep. Bennie Johnson, are absolutely right in not attending the opening of a civil rights museum in Jackson, Mississippi this weekend.

Their reason - that our Racist-In-Chief is attending - essentially making it a mockery.
---------------------
BREAKING NEWS:

Trump will participate in a separate private event at the new Civil Rights Museum in Jackson, Mississippi, on Saturday morning, rather than in the public ceremony. The decision came after the president’s plan to attend the opening erupted into controversy. 

The Mississippi Department of Archives and History and the White House agreed to have a separate event after a series of noteworthy civil rights leaders and speakers decided to boycott the event and local groups planned to protest. 

Trump will tour the museum and speak at a private program in the morning, and the public ceremony will begin afterward.

---------------------

 Lewis, a civil rights icon, was one of the organizers in the 1963 March on Washington. He's served 16 terms in the House of Representatives, and he knows a hypocrite when he sees one.

Donny and his minions in the White House said it was unfortunate that they're not going to attend the opening.

Responding to the White House, the chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, Rep. Cedric Richmond, D-Louisiana, called the criticism "laughable."

It’s laughable that the White House is criticizing John Lewis and Bennie Thompson for not attending the opening of a civil rights museum that honors the sacrifice of ....wait..... John Lewis, Bennie Thompson, and many others.

This White House is not serious about civil rights," Richmond said in a statement. "From dismantling the civil rights division in DOJ to equating peaceful people who protested racism to Neo-nazi’s and White Supremacists, they just don’t get it.”

To prove Lewis's point we need look no further than Trump's support of a child molester and racist in the Alabama special election next Tuesday.

Roy Moore, when asked when was the last time America was great, said, "I think it was great at the time families were united, even though we had slavery, they cared for one another, our families were strong, our country had a direction."

Trump's response to Moore, "Go get 'em Roy!"Case closed.

The Great Race To The Bottom Of The Pile

Good Day World!

I'm not sure when the Race To The Bottom Olympics began.

Some lifestyle experts say it was when Trump was elected president.

All I know is that there are daily contestants from all walks of American life, beginning with our Liar-In-Chief.

Motto: How Low Can You Go? Make America Great Again

Let's get the ball rolling...

1. The current longest member of the House, John Conyers, retired yesterday under a cloud of sexual harassment claims stretching back for years. 

2. Trump and the spineless jellyfish in Congress are endorsing a child molester for a senate seat in Alabama.

3. A judge is looking at charges against Trump by former Apprentice contestant, Zervo Summers. If he allows the case to proceed things will get hotter for Donny the Groper than they already are.

4. Senior Trump transition team member, K. T. McFarland  is accused of being deceptive over the summer about her knowledge of discussions between Michael T. Flynn, the former national security adviser, and a former Russian ambassador.

5. Danny Masterson from Netflix's The Ranch, was fired for sexual harassment. 

6. Dustin Hoffman issues statement that he "...felt terrible for anything he might have done to make women uncomfortable," in reference to sexual harassment charges brought by John Oliver.

7. Democratic Senator Al Franken  resigned under a cloud of sexual harassment yesterday. 

8. Singer, Melanie Martinez, has been accused of sexually assaulting a former friend who says she repeatedly turned down her advances.

8. Republican Rep. Trent Franks of Arizona is resigning next month after revealing that he discussed surrogacy with two female staffers.

That's all for today folks. I don't want to burn you out. The Race to the Bottom Olympics is going to be going on for a long time.

America's Fire-Starter-In-Chief On A Hot Streak

Good Day World!

America's Fire-Starter-In-Chief has a hot streak going right now.

He threw a lit match into the tinder box - aka the entire Middle East - yesterday.
Now the pasty-faced pyromaniac can sit back and enjoy the blaze he created.

There wasn't one good reason to declare Jerusalem as the capital of Israel at this moment in time.

Donald Trump’s Jerusalem statement yesterday is an act of diplomatic arson.

There is a reason why no US administration, no matter how pro-Israel, has changed its policy toward the city in the nearly 70 years since Israel’s founding.

Both Israelis and Palestinians insist that Jerusalem must be the capital of their states, present and future, and that that status is non-negotiable.

Then comes Trump, oblivious to precedent and history. Even in a place where history is a matter of life and death.

Every Arab government – including those loyal to Washington – is now issuing sharp warnings on the perils of this move, almost all of them using the same word.
