We've noticed the Twittiot's tweets have not only become more reckless, senseless and completely without merit, but his latest, alleging millions voted illegally for Hillary Clinton, only undermines his own election victory. If Donald Trump actually believes wide spread voter fraud took place during the general election, then he, as the winner is asking the country to question the legitimacy of his presidency. Anyone in their right mind would STFU, let it go and move on. Its not like he has nothing else to do. If this isn't insane, at the very least, it qualifies as odd conduct in our view.
Like it or not, Donald Trump is one of the most powerful people in the world. This is a fact the entire planet must contend with, at least for the next four years. And since President-elect Trump holds the power, that power appears to have a hold on the "power hungry". We see them sheepishly entering Trump's various palatial spaces designed to impress and humble them for meetings with the new "Ring Master". The man who cracks the whip. The man who makes them hop and heel on his command. And the "power hungry" will hop and heel on command because they can't help themselves.
While Jill Stein reportedly only got 1% of the vote in the general election, for some odd reason she's targeted a goal of raising $7 million to recount the votes in Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and Michigan. Joined by Hillary Clinton, the two loosing campaigns have decided to investigate the possibility of "Russian" hacking activities even though neither were prepared to provide a shred of evidence that suggested the elections were compromised in any way.
Unfortunately, Americans won't have all that juicy stuff to chat about over Turkey and dressing this Thanksgiving because Donald Trump had to have a Fu@king heart. But he'd better be careful, because his base won't take to many of these flip flops. Rednecks and the Rebel class need a steady dose of red meat in order to keep them loyal and in attack mode or they'll turn on you like a rabid hunting hound. Podcast below.
While the loin's share of the blame for losing the White House, failing to take back the U.S. Senate or making any significant gains in the House of Representatives has been rightly reserved for Hillary clinton, we think Barack Obama might have gotten off the hook for his contributions to the biggest political upset in recent memory. The idea of this guy riding off into the sunset to spend his golden years in Chill-Ville just don't sit well with us. His job is not finished!
Now that Donald Trump has been elected President, cool White people may find it difficult convincing leery minorities of their true sentiments. Non- Whites are already hypersensitive when it comes to hiring decisions, wait times in restaurants, room availability in hotels and driving, shopping, walking and breathing while Black. Having no idea who's a "Trumper" or worse, not knowing how many there are will only add to insecurities, mistrust and suspicions of non-Whites. This is bad for non-Whites and cool Whites alike.

Because Donald Trump was supported by people so intent on burning Washington to the ground, they failed to notice Vladimir Putin was providing the matches and the gasoline. Putin not only got into Hillary Clinton's emails, he got into Donald Trump's head. Let's face it, if state sponsored Russian hackers were responsible for exposing the Clinton's most "guarded activities", while Vladimir Putin cunningly made use of the appearance of a preposterous bromance between he and Trump, we think everyone should be nervous about what happens next.
It was listening to Hillary Clinton blame FBI Director James Comey for stealing "HER" thunder in a conference call to a group of disappointed donors that triggered further interest and analysis of "HER" political and professional future. Hearing "HER" explaining to donors who'd raised more than $100,000.00 each, about what went wrong, left this observer with the impression of someone desperately trying to salvage their value as a paid speaker since another run for political office is highly unlikely. Once off the political stage entirely, Hillary Clinton will lose "HER" access to influence. And without access to influence, Hillary Clinton won't have anything to peddle.
To be characterized or stereotyped as an American today can be dangerous for those brave enough to travel abroad too soon. Foreigners could get the wrong impression about American travelers, because America's reputation will have preceded them. If America is perceived to be as ignorant, arrogant, intolerant and backward as its newly elected leader is, the American travel can expect to be treated as such.
The collapse of the Trump administration will become noticeable within the first six months, if not less. Donald Trump and the Republican Party should have been more careful of what they wished for, because they won't be able to do nothing but criticize and obstruct. They've found themselves in the unenviable position of having to create millions of good paying jobs, produce an affordable healthcare alternative, keep the nation safe and cut taxes for everybody at the same time.
Marijuana chills people out, as oppose to hyping them up. In fact, we've often pondered why marijuana couldn't be prescribed people with anger management issues. What about people locked up behind bars? Don't you think prisoners would cope better with their circumstance better with a joint for good behavior? To date, there's been little if any evidence that suggest the ingestion of marijuana in any dosage would lead one to violence or criminal behavior. When's the last you heard of someone getting high on weed and robbing a liquor store or strangling somebody to get money for more. Beyond simply possessing, cultivating or transporting weed this is no criminal behavior to speak of. And changing the laws would change all that.
While we're predicting no November miracle with a Jill Stein or Gary Johnson stunning come from out of nowhere victory, putting national pollsters and the lame stream media out of business for good, we are predicting the Green Party will attract and expand its membership substantially from former disaffected Democrats. We're also predicting the Libertarian Party will attract and expand its membership from former disaffected Republicans. And since we're predicting win or lose, Donald Trump will break with the Republicans and start his own political Party, these events will effectively expand America's two Party system into five viable political Parties. And its about time.
Over the last eighteen months, the American people have born witness to nothing but sleazy political shit-slingers, who did no more than savage one another for the slightest advantage in the polls. And if only half the accusations made about the candidates being liars, cheats, thieves, tax dodgers, crooks, corrupt insiders, scam artists, bullies, misogynist and worse can be believed, then it would stand to reason, only a rigged and corrupt political system could produce such a crop of horribly flawed characters. How else could Americans end up with a Donald Trump or a Hillary Clinton as a final choice for any political office, let alone the presidency? But wait, it gets worse.
Wiser minds have learned, the mind body and soul are the three most important components of life. Each of these components must be given equal attention. The must be synchronized and lived that way. After all, what's the point of having a sharp mind, if you're body is failing or you've lost your soul?
