As I watched and discussed the outcome possibilities of the new Associate Justice on the Supreme Court, my calculation was one based on logic, not partisanship.

I’ve heard many pundits on many television stations discuss the merits of all the flash points surrounding Justice Kavanaugh. I was almost certain that two of the three Republicans, if not all three would vote no. But that meant ignoring the tea leaves and the cover job given by Sen Flake.

Let’s think about it for a minute. I believe he was deeply torn, but I also believe he was always going to be a yes vote for Justice Kavanaugh u til he got called on it. The same with Sen Collins. She was always a yes until the allegations. Sen Murkowski she was the one to watch thou. She was never on board with the nominee and apparently nothing was said to convince her.

But what he did last Friday calling for an FBI review, ultimately provided cover for him, Collins and Sen Manchin to all vote for this man. Claiming they believe Dr Blasey Ford, but the evidence didn’t support her. Well truth is the investigation wasn’t thorough or complete and the reality is you can’t have double speak like that. If you believe Dr Ford, then u think Justice Kavanaugh was lying. To say both of them were honest nd believable is bogus. Everyone knew 1 week wasn’t going to solve this allegation but it was all Dems could get nd it was all the time the Reps needed.

Sadly the lies told will be the silo that hangs over the court. This Justice appears the most partisan justice to be confirmed. The demeanor and vernacular used show to me his poor temperament. The narrative coming out of it is disgusting. I heard a Republican say on tv this morning that a woman came with baseless accusations and ruined a good man. Let me be clear, I had doubts at first because of the manner that the store at behaved. But after fully engaging I wanted to hear the testimony. Her claims aren’t baseless, sadly they can’t be corroborated so some wanna smear her. To suggest that it’s baseless because you’re a Republican hack, that just wanted the con rush job approved is awful.

That’s why this country is so broken, divided and distrusting. We want to sensationalize everything, rather than have empathy for something and disagree gracefully. We are in a very new time. Maybe all this continues to push people to vote for change. For candidates who reflect their politics, not this bull shit we see. One can only hope.

Whatever your position on the matter few things are true. One, this process harmed everyone involved, two the nation is further divided nd distrusting than ever, three Trump is doing what he promised and we are all along for the ride and finally, if you want to stop what’s happening then use your fucking right given to you and vote!

If you care about the country, your family, friends and people period, get off ur ass nd vote!!

America sound off, lets talk

Yes I said it and I mean every word of what I said in my headline. He made his triumphant return amongst a popular and familiar crowd. He came with his usual bravado and charm. It was definitely easy to see that he was comfortable and feeling good.

President Barack Obama is back and if this speech is any indication, his eyes are squarely set on the Republicans and precisely Donald J Trump. Mr. Obama has been missing over the past year and half or so. Only chiming in when he felt it to be critical and necessary. Resisting the temptations of coming out and rebuking this current President. He stayed back and prepared himself and his party. He was helping to organize and strategize for this moment. Election season is here and it’s time to get out the base, turn out the new voters and try to get Democracts to retake control of the Legislative Branch of Congress.

In directly talking about the current President, his Administration and this Congress, Obama delivered a powerful smackdown of Trump. He reminded us that Trump was a symptom of the fear and race mongering tactics. He told us that the officials in Congress aren’t holding him accountable, they’re shielding from the reality. I’m my opinion, that reality is that Trump should be locked up for Treason, Perjury and Obstruction of Justice charges.

President Obama knows that in order to uncork the bottle Dems need to control the US House of Reps. And with there being such a good chance, his star power is needed. Trump for his part, claims to have slept thru Pres Obama’s speech, saying the former President is boring. The head of the RNC said that he was glad to see Obama because it will fire up the base. That part I truly doubt. This isnt the past, Dems aren’t in control and they are hungry.

President Obama reminded us all that indifference and inactivity is the demise of democracy. That whatever party you affiliate yourself to that you must be vocal and engage. That we must unite under the common goal of self preservation of our democracy and the institutions that govern them. He reminded us that we are a people and a nation that doesn’t get beaten down by threats to our Republic, yet we find ways to persevere and grow be the and stronger.

Things will never be perfect in a society filled with imperfect beings. The best we can do is attempt to get better day by day. Lean on the common ground and seek to find compromise and understanding where we differ. That is the American ideal, though it’s hard to hold to that at all times.

America, today we got a lesson in civility and respect. Healthy debate and disagreement is expected in such a vast society but it should never get to the point of shaming, race bating and prejudice, homophobia or sexism or religious persecution. We are always only as good as our weakest person. We will always be defined as a immigrant nation that provided opportunity for any and all. So why would we ever need to say we need to Make America Great Again. America has been the beacon shining for years, despite all the many injustices.

At some point in our history we will say that we have overcome many of the injustices and stereotypes that exist today. We will rise up and truly be able to say that we are able to use the contents that make up who we are, rather than our names and skin color to define us.

Now is the time to call on the best in us as a people to thwart the worst that is showing daily in the current President. America, we must polish the light and stand tall and do something about the state of our politics and the state of our nation.

So as more information comes to light about the illegal activities of the current occupant of the White House, we are seeing the orange man turn beet red.

The collusion and corruption investigation is strong and pushing forward against him and his minions. There is now a new book out that describes the complete circus in the White House. And today, a truly mind blowing Op Ed in the NY Times dressing down Trump and his leadership.

This piece shows exactly how desperate people inside the White House are to try and hold together the institutions that guide this nation. Trump as a whole is a man who had zero political experience and zero foreign policy experience, but you people in America thought that was perfect for our country.

I watched his hastily given conference to shred the article and the book to be released by Bob Woodward. He tried to again lie his way thru his accomplishments, in order to get the uninformed masses, to believe the shit being reported is false and only Trump is speaking truth. Sadly, there are large numbers in this country believes this shit. Are you people awake right now?

We are really sitting on the cusp of history. The sitting President just said that all news is fake that reports negativity about him, that by the way, is true. There is a Senior Admin official who came out and blasted their boss. Described a President who is not mentally fit or emotionally fit to be the President of the United States. I’ve heard numerous times nd I believe it to be true, the reason he is the President is because Republicans believe that Trump will get all their agenda thru.

Look at what’s going on. Taking away abortion rights, attacking and gutting the Affordable Care Act, giving unnecessary tax cuts to rich people, putting conservative judges on the bench who will be potentially destructive to the Black and Latin communities, not to mention you under educated White folks, his policies ain’t done shit for you either.

We’ve heard this man say he could sexually assault women and get away with it because he a rich, White man. Hmm and y’all still support him. This is a man who said that White Supremicist are good people. He said that Pres Putin was a good man, that Leader Kim is a strong leader. What the fuck are you waiting to see?

We have a President who thinks that the Nike campaign promoting Colin Kapernick and his protest right is terrible. He also said that the people protesting the anthem to bring about change in this nation should be fired. Cursing them and wanting them to lose their job. America is built on the backs of protesters and resisters. It is built on the backs of people who refuse to lie down and wilt in the face of tyrannical and bitch ass people trying to suppress our rights.

Trump thought he would be literally the most powerful man in the world when he became President. He has realized now up close, that while he has significant stroke and influence, he does not have autonomy. He is not free and clear to do anything he wants. And that’s killing him, don’t think so. Look at his Tweet storms and his rampages. Look at how red and ugly he gets when more stories come out about him, his mental fitness and ability to lead.

This is definitely a remarkable time in American history and it certainly is one that many saw coming and some didn’t mind. They wanted change, they didn’t want to back track to the Clintons, and some wanted to blow the whole fucking system up. Well enter Donald Trump. He used face and fear and prejudice, and won. Now we look like complete fools as a nation because he is the representation many foreign nations see on their tv screens.

Hey Trumpians, still proud of your President. By the way those auto plants that went over seas, how’s that helped u guys.

Talk to me

I’m sure many if u have seen the coverage of the President after his “summit” with Russian President Putin. I’m sure if ur an American u were dumbfounded to learn that he behaved as if he was Putin’s bitch nd not the President of the most powerful nation in the free world.

I’m also certain that some of u have heard that he made a series of unimaginable statements nd capitulations to the Russians. We are here 4 days removed from this summit wondering if this idiot hasn’t dropped a dime on America just for the sake of his own personal interests.

I don’t think a rational, sane person can look at this situation with Russia nd not think that this asshole is in bed with Russia. Why the hell would u be trying to bring Putin back into the G7 countries? Why would u meet in private with no aides or cabinet people for nearly three hours nd not explain what u agreed to or said? Why are inviting this murderer nd enemy to the White House for another summit? The Right Wing nd Fox News will have u believe that over the last few days Trump has grown brass balls nd is prepared to stand up to Pres Putin, I say bull shit.

The truth of the matter is I believe the narrative all along. Russia has Pres Trump by the balls nd if he doesn’t do their bidding to attempt to get them access to the money he owes them nd put their influence back on a world level then Trump is fucked.

All these people who love him cuz he’s a White man who claims to believe in America first nd all these policies that increase rich people’s pockets, how do u feel about him selling y’all asses to the Russians. Cuz if this shit continues that’s what we will be seen as under Trump. The Russians bitches.

Let’s discuss

As I continue to sit and watch the scandalous bull shit of the nations 45th President, I continue to think how close are to pure and utter chaos? To some the answer might surprise you..

I believe that we are living in a time right now where all of our most sacred institutions are under assault. We are living in a time where Politicians are telling the bodies of Justice in this country how to prosecute. We have a corrupt Attorney General. We have a corrupt HUD Secretary. We have a Corrupt Secretary of Education.

Not to mention the most corrupt President and executive cabinet in history. We have a Congress that has effectively done zero to in the removal of this President or to adequately check his power. We have police brutality still at insane levels. Racism is alive nd well nd the law enforcement community isnt doing enough to deter it. The business community isn’t ballsy enough to eradicate it from their businesses.

We are a nation still begging for leaders to galvanize us around the issues of race and inequality. Waiting for people of this nation to say they’ve had enough of the bigotry nd stereotyping. It’s now that we desperately need leaders from all walks of life to come together and guide the people of this nation to a better place.

Sadly enough we look past the preamble of the Constitution nd run right to our political or ethnic motivations and its destroying us as a nation. Remember the first line: We the people. Think about it. It doesnt say we the Black or we the White, not we the Latino or we the Asian. Not we the Christian or we the Muslim. It says We the People.

Lets take back the narrative and remove the hate. Lets Remember that all of us are We The People. Stay strong stay independent stay open.

For the first time in a while I’ve returned to give my comments on what’s going on in America as we inch closer to the inauguration of Donald Trump as President of the United States. I’ve heard many around the various networks calling for America to now rally around this first time politician. We hear things like he’s going to need all the help he can get and ugly Presidential contests are part of the business. While both of these things may be true, there is another truth in this.. Obama wasn’t gettin this benefit of the doubt when he won in a landslide.

Where was the GOP calling for a unified America when Obama destroyed Senator John McCain? It didn’t exist. See the Republicans were already bunkered down trying to devise their strategy to limit Obama to one term, not help him be a successful President. Am I saying that they should have been holding hands and singing songs, No I’m not. But, there should have been an attempt to really work with this President and it wasn’t. The first chance Republicans could take at shutting him down they did and it continued for the next 8 years.

They complain that we aren’t further along in our recovery, that jobs aren’t more plentiful, well maybe that’s partly because Republicans refused to continue to work with Obama on initiatives that would have helped the country be even more successful. And the funny thing is despite the record growth of American jobs and the success of Wall Street it still wasn’t enough. Yes millions of Americans voted for the first Black President in American history, but you can best believe those elite, snobs on the Right who made their careers on Capitol Hill didn’t want to see him occupy the most Powerful post in the free world.

Fast forward to 2016 and now 2017 and all we here is we need to reconcile as a country for the good of the Nation. Really? I guess we couldn’t reconcile under Obama, but it’s appropriate under Trump. Man, we will miss President Obama for sure. He was the man that oversaw so much history in this country and as time passes from his Presidency we will realize that he truly was one of the great American Presidents.
