  • A Second Korean War, this Time with Nukes?
    • getoffmedz 01/19/2018 at 9:47 am

      The previous nuclear war crisis of this nature was the Cuban Missile Crisis which lasted only 13 days. Trump has managed to make this unnecessary nuclear crisis on-going.

      Solely because he wants the full attention of the world on HIMSELF!

  • Trump Admin Commits to Forever War in Syria against Iran

  • Not Fighting Climate Change cost $1.5 Trillion Last Year & it is only the Beginning
    • getoffmedz 01/19/2018 at 10:17 am

      The combined tailpipes and chimneys of the human race are rapidly MELTING THE ••••ING POLAR ICECAPS!

      Yet, those who EVISCERATE our planet continue to manipulate "DENIERS" into carrying their planet killing mind-poison for them. And in return charges them a fee to do it.

      Sad.

  • The Rise and Fall of America’s Middle Class
    • getoffmedz 01/16/2018 at 10:59 am

      Yet, Russian intelligence asset Trump claims to be the champion of the working class and his brain-dead base BELIEVES him while his maladministration openly promotes "today’s abominable, un-American culture of inequality across our land." in plain sight.

      Sad.

  • Impeachable Offense? Trump golfs while Hawaiians endure Nuclear Panic
    • getoffmedz 01/18/2018 at 10:31 am

      The issue is the lack of an ALL CLEAR message for hours. Trump's appointed FCC has the ultimate authority and control over these communications or lack thereof.

      The ONLY conspiracy is not "another example of the US government keeping its citizens 'fearful' and compliant." But the abysmal incompetence of the Trump maladministration.

    • getoffmedz 01/15/2018 at 10:31 am

      . . . . . "in their hateful indecency and crudeness now with unfiltered Trump." Trump is merely the clarion voice of the 1% and the defective segment of the U.S. population. Most are Republicans in fact.

    • getoffmedz 01/15/2018 at 9:59 am

      Damn those Russians! The GOP has become the U.S equivalent to the Stalinist Party. Trump is fat baby Stalin 2018.

    • getoffmedz 01/15/2018 at 9:15 am

  • ‘Shithole countries’: Trump uses the rhetoric of dictators
    • getoffmedz 01/15/2018 at 10:20 am

      Correct - It took a half Century for the fascist take-over of the U.S. to be completed.

      Now, we have to contend with a Stalinist-type government where our elected officials are IN FEAR of the President and his minions.

  • The US Role in Turning Countries into Shitholes and provoking Immigration
    • getoffmedz 01/12/2018 at 2:57 pm with 1 replies

      Donald Trump is merely mirroring the 'white-person only U.S.' attitude held by his 1% and about 30% of defective citizens in our country.

      The fact that good people are suddenly advocating on behalf of someone like Donald Trump CLEARLY demonstrates there is now some form of a tacit THREAT in play?

  • Unused to Real Journalists, Trump envoy to Hague Stunned at Questions on his Bigoted Lies (Video)
    • getoffmedz 01/16/2018 at 11:56 am

      Pete Hoekstra, Trump's US Ambassador to the Netherlands, gets a free pair of Donald J. Trump Presidential kneepads made in Russia and autographed by Steven Miller.

      On June 22, 2006, Hoekstra made headlines by announcing at a press conference in the Capitol that weapons of mass destruction had been located in Iraq. Hoekstra was a founding member of the Congressional House Tea Party Caucus in 2010.

      Sending twisted individuals like Pieter Hoekstra to an allied foreign country merely floodlights the extreme right-wing SICKNESS of H8 that envelops too many in our once great country.

  • Neo-Nazi Game of Thrones: Bannon forced out at Breitbart

    • getoffmedz 01/08/2018 at 2:00 pm with 1 replies

      Hearing Steven Miller employ class ventriloquism is like listening to an Adolf Hitler speech translated into American. Very deeply disturbing that CCM gives this befouled fountain of duplicity and hatred a platform from which he is able to hurl his extreme right-wing vomit.

      It is ironic the aversions to the First Amendment shown by this maladministration are also being openly EXPLOITED for truly evil intents purpose(s), simultaneously.

  • Trump Engineered Saudi Soft Coup, attack on Qatar, to Save Self
    • getoffmedz 01/07/2018 at 8:16 am

      Trump and Trumpsters are far worse than a "scam." Combined they constitute a mortal risk to each and every U.S. citizen surpassing the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962 with the exception - this threat is on-going while the Cuban Missile Crisis lasted only 13 days.

      Steve Bannon is merely a super-wealthy backed CCM creation much like Trump was initially. Unfortunately, Bannon is a "knowing madman" - the worst kind of defective while Trump is merely a idiot.

      CCM created Bannon. CCM can "dis-create" Bannon, easily.

  • No Normalization: All the Fascist Highlights Trump still Hits
    • getoffmedz 01/03/2018 at 10:18 am

      Without the "creeping CEO phenomena" within the Electoral College and multi-pronged FOREIGN INTERFERENCE in our national elections we would ALL not be in imminent danger.

      • A President with schizophrenia may show dysfunctional impulsivity and impulsive aggression.√
      • Aggressive behavior and impulsivity are often found in paranoid schizophrenia and can occur during both acute and chronic phases of the illness! Impulsivity is defined as action without planning or reflection, and it seems to be related to a failure of behavioral filtering outside of consciousness.√
      • A schizophrenic President will have less insight, experience greater thought disorder(s), and have poorer control of their aggressive impulses.√

      Bigoted Code talking Donald J. Trump is the true representation of the average American voter who voted for him. STUPID, RACIST •••holes! Unworthy of citizenship. Trump speaks for them in h8 language. And they love it!

      May Trump's EPA increase the lead in Trumpster waters, exponentially.

      With the on-going ruination of our once great country from the inside and the increasing threat of NUCLEAR WAR now in our futures, humor does not spring to mind.

  • As Flynn cuts off WH, top 4 Alleged Crimes he could sink Trump with
    • getoffmedz 11/24/2017 at 11:07 am with 1 replies

      It seems very clear that Donald J. Trump allowed his campaign to become a full-blown Russian intelligence asset under the direction of turncoat traitor General "lock-her-up" Michael Flynn.

      Self-preservation will drive Flynn to implicate fly-on-the-wall Pence who knows almost everything. Pence ratted-out Flynn previous, so no love will be lost.

      Pence under oath will be very interesting if the right questions are asked. And will likely be thrown under the bus along with a chorus of others.

  • Could Africa skip Pipelines straight to Solar Panels?
    • getoffmedz 11/24/2017 at 1:13 pm

      "Africa skipping pipelines." NOT likely. The U.S. has many “vital interests in the region,” namely an upsurge in OIL AND GAS production. New African oil sources are planned to connect to the Chad-Cameroon pipeline, a EXXONMOBIL/China project.

      Obviously, Moore and Trump share similar experiences with "young stuff" as those in the American South seem to enjoy.

      Why else would Trump give a full-throat approval to a child molester?

      Trump's anti-American position that a PERVERT CHILD-MOLESTER is better than a Democrat for our U.S. Senate is tantamount of defecating on the Constitution.

      Apparently, Republicans will do ANYTHING to get those TAX BREAKS for their betters.

  • Nuclear Apocalypse by Accident? Age of Trump
    • getoffmedz 11/24/2017 at 11:54 am

      The likelihood of atmospheric nuclear weapon detonations have increased exponentially under President Trump. A new fact of life straight out of the 1950s and completely unnecessary.

      But now that "accidents" and "impetuous acts" have become commonplace occurrences.

      And there is NO "final ready-safe switch" on Donald J. Trump.

      Look for Scion brand potassium iodide "radiation pills" labelled TrumpSafe on pharmacy shelves real soon.

      From the very moment this hillbilly wet dream took office, the spiraling decline of our country was set into motion. Aside from the h8, divisiveness, firearm massacres and STUPIDITY engendered by Trump and his useless followers. Additionally, we must now endure a genuine nuclear war threat right out of the 1950s.

      Trump is completely full of •••T as are his misguided followers and these DEFECTIVES will ruin our country. If WE let them.

      Currently, fat racist Trump and his knuckle-dragging constituents endeavor to cleanse President Obama from U.S. history, en toto.

      Why? The elitist 1% and their super-white wannabes all endeavor to see themselves or their offspring become President some day but to have their ultimate achievement in whiteness shared with a person-of-color is simply UNACCEPTABLE.

      Therefore, Obama must go!

  • Despite Trump Pledge: Keystone Pipeline Spills 210,000 Gallons of Oil in Dakota
    • getoffmedz 11/18/2017 at 1:06 pm

      The Keystone Pipeline pumps hot gritty pure poison. Tar sands dredged bitumen must be heated to >98 F, diluted with naptha and forced under pressure to pass through the pipeline. The high percentage of sand grit in the hot mix assures MANY pump and valve FAILURES for the <18% of crude oil tar sands bitumen actually contains. The remaining becomes refinery waste and is sold to a Koch Brother as "pet coke" and exported, globally, as the absolute dirtiest fuel source, widely used. Or used domestically in the processing of basic ingredients for high explosives.

      Hot diluted bitumen outflows are the most difficult to clean-up requiring complete removal of all contaminated earth due to the toxicity including the earth supporting the pipeline itself.

  • World, horrified at Trump, sends US Ranking Plummeting
    • getoffmedz 11/18/2017 at 11:20 am

      There is a serious message in this ranking decrease. This sudden decline is merely the start.

      Under Trump, serious safeguards must be put into place to avoid the eventual "Rogue Nation" status.

      Germany and Japan were once considered Rogue Nations where things did not end well for their citizens.

      It can happen, here.
