Democracy Billboard and Response shows GOP Isn’t Fooling American Voters

Despite World Famous Liar Donald Trumps denials the American voter is not fooled. As the interviews with voters proves after they have viewed the billboards it is clear voters know the truth.

The US and Democarcy need a GOP that will stand up to Trump and demand the end to his attacks on the legitimacy of his Justice Department and Robert Mueller.

The American public is increasingly learning the GOP is putting party before country and that must stop.

I read a comment on another web site that said today's GOP is "proof that man can walk upright without a spine." The GOP reinforces that impression every day.

Another Trump Gift to Russia – Payback For What?

Trump did a mass firing of justice officials. It feels like this is another step towards dictatorship. Haven't we seen the same sort of thing all around the world? A dictator or so called Strong-man comes in to power promising his followers that he will make things great again. Next thing they know he is implementing actions that take away their rights.

The voters don't like it. Legal challenges are made to the actions of the president. He doesn't like it so he fires all of the judges and judiciary who won't just rubber stamp what he wants. Then puts the protesters in jail or "disappears" them.

Little did Trump voters know that they were voting to end democracy. Little did voters know they were voting have their rights taken away from them. Little did they know that the internal White house analysis of Trumpcare would boot 26 million voters, many of them Trump voters, off health insurance in the first year.. The White House analysis is even worst than the CBO office analysis Trump Fired Well Respected Attorney who was banned by Russia for Prosecuting Arms Dealer

This attorney is rumored also to have been investigating other cases about Trump ties to Russia, Trump ethics violations and Trump conflicts of interest and those in Trump's government.

It was also reported that this attorney, since he was so well regarded for his investigations and prosecutions into corruption was told by Trump personally that he could stay on even though he was originally appointed by Obama. But then word leaked out of one more investigation of one of Trump's associates and -poof the attorney was gone. Unceremoniously dispatched by a Trump administration that found they had some things they would rather remain uninvestigated.

Donald Trump – Putin Parody by SNL

Although we focus on Truth and Transparency here at DemocracyAlert.com this Saturday Night parody of Donald Trump was just too good.

Public Service Announcement:
With all of the false news stories and purposed attempts to mislead voters we want to categorically state for the record that Vladimir Putin Did Not come down an actual chimney. No politicians, oligarchs or dictators were burned in the filming of this parody.

This Parody of Donald Trump by the Saturday Night Live Crew and Alec Baldwin is hilarious and a scary at the same time. It's funny both because it is ridiculous and so close to the truth. It's scary for those same reasons - its so close to the truth that our country and democracy are threatened. Since Donald Trump refuses to reveal his tax return and has surrounded himself with questionable picks we don't really know all of the ways Donald Trump and his presidency will harm the US.

I agree with Garrison Keillor of Prarie Home Companion fame. Alas for the Trump voters, the disasters he will bring on this country will fall more heavily on them than anyone else. The uneducated white males who elected him are the vulnerable ones, and they will not like what happens next. Click on the blue text to go to the entire Washington Post article - its good.

There was some cheering that he forced a company to stay in the United States and saved some jobs. At the same time his selections for the cabinet are talking about doing away with social security as we know it and replacing it with a 401K like system. Hey America you remember the defined benefit retirement plans most workers had don't you? The one where you worked a certain number of years and were guaranteed a pension payment. Went a long way towards reducing your anxiety about old age didn't it? Along came the experts who told us the change to a 401k retirement plan was better for us because it allowed us more control. How did that work out for you when the market crash came and the value of your 401k plan and the potential benefits was slashed dramatically? Let's be clear about this the only ones that 401k plans are better for is the financial managers and portfolio managers who make a commission on your money day in and day out whether you make money or not. Let's not forget the 401K benefit to companies who through the change from defined benefit plans to 401K were able to weasel out of their pension commitments to their long term employees and pay their executives huge multi-million dollar bonuses.

Trump also said he is going to repeal the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare) on day one. They are keeping it a secret about what they are replacing it with but I'm sure they have something in store for the voters that will benefit the insurance companies, healthcare companies, pharmaceutical companies, lawyers and politicians more - the average American - not so much.

What good is having a job if you no longer have social security? What good is having a job if you no longer have health care?

But back to this parody - you'll laugh but I think you will also mourn the potential threats democracy.

If one of the results of this parody is that you want to dig deeper and look closer at this situation please read some of our earlier posts.

Trump’s Blueprint for America – Courtesy of Vladimir Putin

Was there any doubt in your mind this election was about Donald Trump making massive amounts of money? You can judge for yourself if he is following the blueprint of Vladimir Putin. Vladimir Putin's wealth is estimated by some of the corruption and investigative groups at 40 Billion dollars. He only claims his modest official salary of approximately $100,000 a year. All of the rest of his massive wealth is from his business dealings. Russian Government officials are not supposed to have any business interests. So Putin, as ex- KGB officer, is careful to hide his tracks. Although his expensive tastes are visible in the watches that he wears which vary in cost from $18,000 to $500,000 he doesn't have any officially reported riches. All of his assets are held by his "close ones." That's not a term I made up or some speculation on my part but it comes from an investigative documentary called Putin's Hidden Treasure. It's available for viewing on Netflix and elsewhere on the internet. You can see for yourself a model of what Trump has planned for the United States. This film contends Putin has used political maneuvers and schemes to create his 40 billion in wealth.

Investigators say he is the one building a palace of marble and gold that cost approximately one Billion Euros. This palace in the south of Russia. It is visible on Google Earth. Go to Google Earth and enter "Putin's Palace Interior" to view inside shots of the ornate marble and gold extravagance. You can also search for exterior shots to see the scope of Putin's "Versailles."

Like Trump, Putin doesn't take kindly to people who criticize him. In Putin's case his critics tend to disappear or die under questionable circumstances. In Trump's case, for now, his actions are just limited to Twitter Storms. But once Trump gets his hands on the power of the presidency who knows what will happen.

Make sure you go to Netflix to watch Putin's Hidden Treasure. If you don't have Netflix ask to watch it a a friend's house who does have Netflix.

The movie describes a systematized system of bribes on a massive scale. Every contract that is entered into has a "commission" paid to a government official or business associate of 30-70%. In one example cited in the movie a "commission" of 439 million dollars was paid to a hidden partner. Vladimir Putin, always the careful ex-KGB officer, uses a code name whenever the money that is his is described. One of the people present at the meeting confirmed to the investigative reporter that this code name was indeed Vladimir Putin.

The movie then goes on to describe several infrastructure projects like a road from St. Petersburg to Moscow and buildings at the Sochi Olympics in Russia that cost many times what comparable projects cost. One of Vladimir Putin's "close ones", Arkady Rotenberg, made a commission of 4 Billion Euros on the Sochi Olympics. On the road project the investigative team at BankWatch traced the source of the funding to the Russians. Many of the same techniques exposed by the Panama Papers, like shell companies and tax havens were used to confuse and hide the truth. The Guardian reports it was revealed by the Panama Papers that 2 Billion was traced to Putin. It was claimed in the movie that the Russian Citizens know that the road project was just designed to enrich Vladimir Putin. This is probably the reason why Trump has made rebuilding infrastructure a part of his plan. He's seen, by Putin's example, it is easy to make huge profits through secret dealings and hide them through silent partnerships, undisclosed "close ones", undeclared business partnerships, and undisclosed conflicts of influence, and shell companies. After all didn't Trump tell us that he hasn't paid any taxes for 20 years while millions of hardworking Americans paid tax rates far higher. Trump's own word's- I'm smart and I know how to use the system.

Like Putin, Trump surrounded himself with a small group of close associates he trusted that profited from his political power. Trump said that he is surrounding himself with successful business people because he said that they are going to be working for a "better deal." A better deal for who - Donald Trump or Donald's "close ones?"

I believe Trump is planning on following the same blueprint of using his political power to increase his wealth, silencing his critics, and buying up media outlets so he can control the message. Since he didn't disclose his tax returns the congress, investigators, reporters, and the American people have no idea what potential conflicts of interest lay in the future. We have no idea of the many ways Donald Trump is going to use his political power to enrich himself and get a "better deal" - for himself or his "close ones." Trump has said that he is surrounding himself with successful business people who will get a "better deal." But a better deal for who? In Vladimir Putin's case his "close ones" included a childhood friend who had a construction business Arkady Rotenberg. You remember Arkady Rotenberg the man who made 4 billion Euros from the Sochi Olympics. A project that cost the Russian nation many time what it should have.

You always knew on some level this was all about Trump, all about enriching himself. "Making America Great" was just a means to his end of enriching himself. In one of the presidential debates he famously boasted he could kill someone in the street and his supporters would still stick with him.

But I think the one thing his supporters will not stand for is Donald Trump selling the democracy and the United States of America to Russia for his own personal gain.
