A week of You Can’t Make This Shit Up
I’ve got to tell you, for the last few months, I’ve been getting really
depressed about the state of the world, and while there are many aspects that concern
me greatly, Donald Trump has definitely been at the very top of the greatly concerned pile.
The world cannot afford to have this man in power. He is dangerous,
ignorant and downright repugnant. Perhaps there is truth to the personality
disorder prognosis, but whatever happens, the possibility of him being
President will send the world in a direction I don’t think we can survive right
now.
Roll the clocks back two weeks and it didn’t look like it would stop. It
was getting worse. He was creeping ahead in the polls. And the rest of us
concerned citizens around the world (all deeply impacted by American policies
and actions) were sitting there thinking – what the bloody fuck America??!! Oh
please, no. No!
And then this last week or so, something happened, in fact, quite a lot
happened. Every day a new headline. Everyday
you’re fucking kidding me? Everyday scrolling through your Facebook feed
wondering what the hell has he said now?
Crikey! Yes he really did say
that.
No one else is to blame, just The Donald, shooting his mouth off again
and again – reacting, spiteful, out of control.
It all started with the repulsive response to the grieving Khan family…
Loving babies one minute and kicking them out of his rally for crying
the next…
Accepting a Purple Heart from a Veteran and saying that was easier…
Exclaiming strong women don’t get sexually harassed and that they should
leave their job if they do ‘cos his daughter Ivanka would…
Saying Putin wasn’t in Crimea yet…
The so-called
top secret footage of cash being delivered in Iran to free hostages, except
it wasn’t…
His wife’s visa being brought into question… something one would think they’d
have sorted out before throwing their hat in the Presidential ring. How did it
come out? An article of Melania nude, unfortunately showing a date that uncovered
her potential illegal presence at that time. However, I’d like to point out with
this article on Melania - I am 100% against any slut shaming. I don’t care who the
woman is, it’s never OK…
And then he wouldn’t endorse senior Republicans who had endorsed him –
aka Paul Ryan and John McCain…
He brought up Megyn Kelly’s blood comments again… um dickhead, let that
one die, because most people had forgot about it. Most, not all…
Saying the election would be rigged… um how?...
And let’s not forget The Donald asking about nuclear weapons three times
in an hour’s security briefing… apparently unverified,
but we heard his thoughts on Nuclear Weapons out of his own mouth. No cards off
the table apparently…
And others have had
enough
The former CIA acting director
going on record and saying no way he’d support Trump – something he has never
ever done before, spoken publicly about presidential candidates…
The military personnel coming out and shaming him as they should…
Some Republicans finally having the balls to stand up and say they’re
voting for Hillary – but not enough yet…
Warren Buffet’s challenge….
Meg Whitman saying enough…
Harvard's
Republican Club Says It Won't Endorse Trump – first time in
128 years…
Even Will
Smith got in on the action, saying his grandma would’ve smacked the teeth out
of his mouth if he spoke about women the way Donald does, and yet, there are
women who support him, apparently attracted to his power…
And some other media
outlets got up his arse too, and let’s face it, this is not
an easy election for the media – how can you be impartial? Except for Fox
news, they’re on his side. What the hell Murdoch? Have you lost touch with
reality completely? Perhaps Jerry has you distracted…
On The Donald, I can recommend this
delightful piece and this one The Week
They Decided Donald Trump Was Crazy.
Of course, how did we ever get to this place? How did a demagogue like
Trump ever get this far? Well according to Scientists,
Earth is Endangered by New Strain of Fact-Resistant Humans – that sounds
about right. For the first time in my life, I have to admit, we’ve got to stop
basing decisions on feelings and start looking at the facts.
The facts. Interesting those things.
What do you think? Has this been a good week for you? Do you feel more
optimistic about the future now? Trump’s done right? Or is he deliberately
fucking it up, as many are predicting? It’s only a matter of time yes? Although
he has been quiet for a few days… I don’t think that’s good.
Yours, without the bollocks
