  • Germany's Merkel: A Selfish & Isolationist America isn't "Great Again"

    • getoffmedz 08/24/2017 at 3:51 pm

      Q - Why is a new President out campaigning for 2020, now?

      A - To dredge up money for the Trump family legal defense fund. Any contribution to Trump now is taken under false pretense to keep spoiled rich people out of jail.

      Worthy of note: The only immediately indictable Trump is out of the country for an extended period of time, safe in Israel.

      Trump behaves like a guilty man because he is a guilty man, in fact.

    • getoffmedz 08/23/2017 at 10:35 am

      We've had a CIA President, a horny President, a dim dry-addicted President, a President opposed by Congressional RACISTS at every turn and our nation persisted somewhat intact.

      Now, we have a bat•••• crazy and stupid rich man as President who LOST THE POPULAR VOTE!

      Given his Phoenix behavior, the real question that must be asked and right now. Can our nation survive Donald J. Trump?

  • Can we dodge a N. Korean War? Trump and the Geopolitics of Crazy
    • getoffmedz 08/23/2017 at 11:59 am

      After witnessing the POTUS Afghanistan betrayal speech, it's clear the Generals are in charge.

      Coupled with the fact Trump appears to enjoy killing and maiming non-white people by proxy and has publicly stated "nation-building is out." If a military advisor with the CIC in his grips determines there may be a strategic military solution to the thermonuclear ambitions of Kim Jong-un will Trump use it?

  • Trump flip-flops on Afghanistan, opts for Years-long Quagmire

      Correct. Many loyal and trusting troops will die and be maimed, billions will be spent for the GLORIFICATION OF TRUMP!!

    • getoffmedz 08/22/2017 at 9:41 am

      For an elitist fat old man who has never sacrificed anything in his life much less serve in the military to lecture young troops about death and sacrifice, national graveyards and duty to justify a continuation of a war with no attainable objective has to be met with disbelief.

      Winning at any cost including killing and maiming more loyal and trusting troops and spending more billions to glorify Trump's maladministration must not be funded by Congress.

      Incompetent President Trump will not resign until he can throw a son or son-n-law under the bus in his attempts to continue to infest our White House or as Resident Trump calls it "a dump."

      Trump's resignation will be the end of narcissistic buffoonery and the onset of stone-cold Dominionist meanness and far-right religious stupid.

      The pending odious transition coupled with disgraced Trump exhorting his followers after he resigns will make our streets and homes far less safe.

      Under President Pence, expressing a religious preference will take on new meaning in a country where "God's will" is moved forcefully ahead of the will of the people.

      But Trump WILL RESIGN, eventually.

      Nice try at rewriting history. The Democratic candidate lost because voters STAYED HOME or were tacitly/actively dissuaded from voting Democratic by peer-group pressure or workplace bullying.

      The greedy depression of wages really got going shortly after the Kennedy Brothers were eliminated. Wage increases remained flat until the mid-1980s when wages declined then recovering in the late 1990s. Productivity has surged, but average income and wages have stagnated for almost all Americans. If the median household income had kept pace with the economy since 1970, it would now be nearly $92,000, not $50,000.

      Since 1992 the 1% have enjoyed an at least 240% increase in income.

      "Not fair to the Southern Baptist, whatever its past history. The President of the Southern Baptist Convention between 2012-14 was an African American." Which makes it all better, whatever the prose?

      Trump exploits Southern Baptists based on "it's past history" playing y'all for fools. But in fairness, it's difficult to undo centuries of blind hatred and stupidity where ever it may reside.

      Trump's NASA budget, a $561 million decrease over previously enacted levels which significantly reduces the number of Earth science climate study missions is also eliminating the agency’s education office. And as ordained by bigotry, do away with Obama administration plans to robotically retrieve a piece of Martian asteroid as a precursor to eventual landings on Mars.

      Unless one is a golf ball or piece of multi-layer chocolate fudge cake, malPOTUS is no physical threat.

      Not the case with his zealots dedicated to anger and H8. Will it start in Whitefish, Montana or Paris, Texas or Charlotte, North Carolina? Prevailing conditions are manifold for an outbreak of mass stupidity at any given moment.

      But up here in 2017, the Muslim population in Poland is miniscule. Currently, Catholic 87.2% (includes Roman Catholic 86.9% and Greek Catholic, Armenian Catholic, and Byzantine-Slavic Catholic .3%), Orthodox 1.3% (almost all are Polish Autocephalous Orthodox), Protestant 0.4% (mainly Augsburg Evangelical and Pentacostal), other 0.4% (includes Jehovah's Witness, Buddhist, Hare Krishna, Gaudiya Vaishnavism, Muslim, Jewish, Mormon).

      Make no mistake, these heinous people want to rid our country of the poor, the elderly and infirm people of low means or at least - thin the herd.

      Yes, I am aware that Russia is everything you wrote but a deadly enemy nevertheless. Especially with one leader desperately insecure regarding his masculinity and the other, a spoiled, uneducated petulant manchild. There is much danger, now.

      I also recognize that the dumbing-down of America is taking it’s intended toll.

      This simple-minded, short-sighted approach offers NO VIABLE REPLACEMENT for 23.5 million citizens. Adding the Medicaid enrollees >41.5 million total have gained health insurance since the Obamacare marketplaces opened in 2013.

      Many are Trump voters who if late or untreated can't vote for him, again.

      But to heartless and obsessed BIGOTS like Trump and McConnell, if oblierating a black man's legacy entails indirectly killing millions of poor people - consider it collateral damage.

      • Attempting to eradicate President Obama from U.S. history definitely qualifies.

      • Being an openly RACIST •••hole is obvious.

      • Associates with the worst bunch of evil people to ever set foot in Washington.

      • Willingly colludes with a long-time enemy is far too obvious.

      • Being an unqualified 70 year-old spoiled rotten egomaniac manchild is also obvious.

      Professor, you summed it up, correctly. Donald J. Trump and his minions are a threat to the entire planet and especially to the citizens of our country.

      Got it.

    • getoffmedz 06/28/2017 at 12:13 pm

      Now that the pathological liar-in-chief denier acknowledges there was in-fact Russian interference in his election. What will he do about it? So far, in the name of defending our country against this continuing threat:

      • Blame it all on Obama.
      • Eliminate those investigating Russia from authority.
      • Officially mock those concerned over the Russian "attack" on our national elections.
      • Make broad unsubstantiated counter-attacks on media intent tacitly on behalf of Russia.
      • Takes no action against Putin or Russians responsible.

      Under Trump will we see the TU-95 Bear over Texas?
