The Hier Apparent

OK, so I know in my last post I released most of my inner irritation with the Donald Trump clown show, but I think it’s also fair that I dish my displeasure for the nominee for the Democrats, Hillary Clinton. And before you stop to ask am I affiliated with either party or am I an Independent, or a nonvoter, I want to say that without doubt and hesitation, I am a staunch Liberal and true blue Democrat. I have given my support to President Obama, voted for him twice and Presidential candidate John Kerry in 2004.

I have and will continue to defend the first African American President in American history. Not only does he look like me, but what he’s done for this country is nothing short of amazing, given all the bullshit he’s had to put up with. Ha, now that I’ve taken a little time to plug my favorite President of all-time, let me get back to Mrs. Inevitable. Don’t get me wrong, I have a tremendous amount of respect for Hillary Clinton. She was definitely one of the smartest first ladies in history and she was a very dynamic and influential Senator and Secretary of State.

That not withstanding, I have to be honest and say that I’m very uninspired by her message and speeches at this point. I do think she lied about the email situation and I don’t believe she is speaking about issues that really close to my heart and generation. I think she has flip flopped on positions more than Trump himself. I think she is a comforter rather than a trend setter. She hasn’t taken the lead on anything. If you press her about any of her positions hard enough or the public sentiment changes strong enough, she will switch quicker than you can change your pants.

This is a battle of the old people. And no, I’m not prejudiced to older Presidential candidates, but the reality is that both Hillary and Trump are more in the twilight years, than youthful fresh faces of their respective parties. I also think that the media has suffocated her competition in order to make sure she winds up as the nominee at the convention next year. Quite frankly, I think they were shocked, stunned and in total disbelief in 2008 when Senator Barack Obama launched a campaign that completely destroyed the “Clinton Machine,” enroute to winning the nomination and becoming President.

See the narrative then was much like now, that Hillary was unbeatable. She has this massive war chest and organization power. She was the one who was going to rewrite the Democrats legacy because a Clinton was returning to the White House, and she was bringing arguably, the most popular President in history, with her as the First Dude. You just knew that his policies and his people were going to be all around her cabinet. But something amazing happened. The impossible became possible. The media ugly duckling became the media darling and Obama rode to victory.

This time there is no narrative like Obama’s with Hillary’s rivals so naturally the media has decided to gravitate to Mrs. Clinton and once again usher her in as the inevitable candidate with the stones ready to take on and defeat the men. I only hope her policies are as strong as the media is building her up to be. I can’t forget that her husband signed that God awful Defense of Marriage Act into law, without any arm twisting needed. He was not an advocate or supporter of same sex couples, and since I’m a very openly gay man, that is something that I always remember. So Mrs. Clinton you and your husband can say you’re for the gays, thanks to VP Biden and Pres. Obama, but many of us haven’t forgotten the actions taken by your husband and championed by you.

So yes I think the media has hand picked their candidates. Bernie Sanders is good television fodder and makes for great ratings. A candidate like Martin O’Malley, who really has some awesome points and accomplishments and objectives, well he can’t get any t.v. time because he’s talking too substantively and would really be the candidate to derail Hillary if given the fair chance.

So I will vote for Hill and Bill, but I hope that the new guard of Democrats are lining up waiting for 2024 or 2020 to make a run and stop the media control of the process.

The Trump Bubble

So as anyone knows I am one the biggest Presidential politics junkies out there. I love getting caught up in the process and watching the process as both parties fight it out to arrive at their nominee for President. That being said, I think this is the first time I can remember that the media is practically picking the nominee from both parties. Yes, I know in the past the coverage of candidates that television media favored helped to shape the nominating process, but tell me when have you seen it be this obvious and apparent.

Donald Trump is the prime example. If he wasn’t a guy who has been all over national t.v. for the past twenty years or so, the ignorant and bombastic shit that he’s said out of his mouth would have had him completely out of the race for President by now. But because he is a Reality TV star and a fairly successful businessman, the American right seems to have fallen in-love with the idea of having a blowhort like Trump represent their party.

See how you know that many of their voters are a bit off their rocker, is this is the same man who said that President Obama was not an American citizen; he is the same man who said that we should deport ALL illegal immigrants; the same man who said that a woman should not have the right to choose what to do with her body. Let’s also not forget that he is the same guy who thinks that just because he’s done some business deals, he is equipped to go toe to toe with foreign leaders who don’t like America and hate everything we stand for. And I promise that has nothing to do with having a Black man as the President of this country.

I’ve never been a real supporter of Trump. And the only time I can remember supporting anything that he’s done is when he was on WWE feuding with Vince McMahon. LOL, I know that’s funny as hell but it’s really true. I think that he is nothing more than a cartoon character. If we thought that having President 43 was torture, if by any sheer chance Trump is the Republican nominee and gets elected, he will be the biggest puppet President in American history.

I really wish the American electorate would wake up and realize that Donald Trump is not really the man you want running this country. But the media loves him because it means ratings galore, because of the asinine things that he says. I also have to temper myself slightly because, I do remember when Sarah Palin and Herman Cain, Newt Gingrich and Michelle Bachmann were all front runners for the Republican nod in previous elections before selecting a more respectable candidate. This shit is going to interesting, sad and funny all at the same time. Have fun Republicans. Poor Jeb and John, who are the two candidates who would probably scare the shit out of Democrats.

Gotta love political season right…

So much has happened in my time away…

So, first and foremost I got a promotion on my job that I took at the end of August. I’ve been going through the training process and it was a BITCH. Not in a hard way, in a no structure, no plan, poor planning, boring bullshit. I have never before worked for a company that’s  a Fortune 40 company and their practices are as conflicting, disorganized and crazy as this company. But I thank God for the fact that I have a job at an amazing company that does take good care of their employees.

Now in that same vein, I’ve been giving much thought to the possibility of changing careers and entering the world of fashion and modeling. And yes, it would be a big shift from what I do now and I know I recently got promoted, but as I’ve been doing some thinking I really feel like it may be time for me to move along and embark upon the next phase of my life and career. Plus, if you knew me well, you would know that I have a major love for fashion and my looks are perfect for modeling..HeHe.

Additionally, I finally went on my first real vacation ever and damnit it was amazing!!!!!! Royal Caribbean Cruselines are awesome and I’m so thankful that we chose to select that cruise line because the service was amazing and they really make your experience one that you will remember and also to make you want to return and cruise with them. Thank you Jesus I really and truly needed that vacation. Although, I got black as night and found out that I have a beauty mark on my lip that shows up when I’m tanned as fuck.

Just know that I may be showing a few of the photos from the vacation and I may decide not to..LOL, as you know I’m very much so crazy and unpredictable. Now this will end my broadcast day as I’ve gotta get up in the morning and get ready to talk to these crazy ass folks on the phone, but I will be in rare form tomorrow. I’m going to tackle Trump, Hillary, Sports and Relationships, so get ready I’m going to be dropping a lot of content over the next few days as I clear my mind from all the busy things that I’ve been doing and events in my life.
