Vet Responds to Trump Insults

Despite his denials Trump has had a long history of disparaging those who sacrificed and served in the military. By now we all know Trump’s shameful record of lieing to the American people. I think one newspaper has the count of the number of lies he has told since his has taken office at 15,000.

I respect and honor the sacrifices Harvey and the men who fought with him have made in defense of our country and democracy. The video above was posted by the daughter of her father who served  and sacrified for us.

I think we should all feel the hurt and anguish Harvey feels at hearing the president disparage the military and those who served.

Will Predator in Chief Trump be Brought to Justice? Lock Him Up!

Trumps predatory transgressions span back decades. He has been able to force his victims to silence through threats and intimidation. There are more than 30 actions against him for his predatory sexual advances on unwilling victims.

Trump has been able to laugh off actual tapes of him like the infamous "grab-them-by-the-pussy tape by saying its just locker room banter. But we have heard Trump refer to women in derogatory sexual terms recently on the campaign trail and in his tweets. So we are not talking about something that just happened decades ago but an ongoing pattern of abuse.

His apologists say nothing really happened, not action took place. And besides he didn't admit it so our apologists say there is nothing here.

Not so fast.

In a 2016 court action in which Trump is charged with sexually abusing a girl of 13 there is a witness. This witness, who will testify, says that she witnessed Donald J.Trump and a convicted pedophile he was partying with sexually abusing a 13 year old against her will.

we have also heard stories of him legally bullying or threatening his victims into silence. It will be interesting to watch the 60 Minutes interview of Stormy Daniels on CBS March 25, 2018.60 Minutes Stormy Daniels Interview You watch and decide who is telling the truth.

There are also the Nineteen women who accuse Trump of sexual harrassment and tell their stories 19 Women who Accuse Trump

What is Wrong With You? Michelle Savages Trump’s Attack on Improving School Lunches

Trump Attacks American Children in his rollback of healthy school lunches.

'What Is Wrong with You?' Michelle Obama Savages Trump for Gutting regulations to help improve school lunches.

Former first lady attacks president’s reversal of regulations to help improve school lunches: ‘Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.’

Why would Trump and the GOP attack on your children and your children's health?

Michelle repeatedly said take me out of the equation, take politics out of the equation. This is not a partisan topic - it's the well being of your children.

‘Think about why someone is OK with your kids eating crap.’

On this Mother's Day think about if it would be OK for you as a mother to allow the President or any politician who is 'OK with your kids eating crap' to determine what your children eat?

“This is where you really have to look at motives, you know. You have to stop and think: why don’t you want our kids to have good food at school? What is wrong with you?” said Michelle.

And think about the only people who benefit from this. The manufactures who are able to manufacture cheap food to feed your children and fatten their profits. And of course there are the other beneficiaries. The politicians who accepted large political donations and dark money contributions to keep them in office.

The Republican politicians and the president they helped elect have already demonstrated that they won't stand up for your children.

It's up to the mother's of the United States to stand up for their children.

On this Mother's Day the question is are your children for sale?

Are you willing to stay quiet and let Trump and the Republican party (also known as the GOP or Guardians OF Privilege) sell your child's health to the highest bidder?

Death Panels are Real

Death panels are real. Trump and the GOP yesterday were celebrating the potential deaths of 20-40 thousand Americans per year that were estimated to die each year because of the passage of Trumpcare. You probably saw the newsfeeds from the Rosegarden where Republicans were slapping each other on the back, cheering and celebrating the passage of Trumpcare. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that 24 million Americans would lose their healthcare under the earlier failed version of Trumpcare. It didn't matter that millions of Americans were worried and had concerns.

In their rush to jam the bill down the throats of Americans they did not even wait for a review before they took the vote. They knew the only way to get this past even members of their own party was by hiding the facts and through stealth and speed. The memory of how the tide turned against the 1st Failed Trumpcare bill after the Congressional Budget Office came out showing that 24 million Americans would lose their health care was fresh in Republicans' memory. Trump and the Republicans didn't want to risk telling the American people what they really were going to lose.

Remember these cuts are being made to pay for tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. Because that is really who the Republican party supports. The GOP party doesn't stand for Grand Old Party - the party representing you and me. GOP really stands for Guardians of Privilege.
