This Whole Rigging Meme By Trump - Could It Have More Negative Effects On The.....

Repugs than the Dems?

All these Repugs coming out and saying we have safeguards in that prevent rigging - are they worried that some of the antics that they pull during elections will be found out and that all rigging of elections is really the Repugs doing the rigging?

I've Noticed Something In Statewide (IL) TV Campaign Ads......

Most don't say the political affiliation of the person that is putting out the ad.

They say the typical 'I'm xxxx and I approve of this ad' - but they don't indicated whether the candidate is a Dem or a Repug.

Why is this? Is this the new trend? Are candidates afraid to day their political affiliation? What gives?

Is this happening across the U.S. or is this just something that is happening in Illinois?

Keep Trump Up The Night Before The Debate......

I don't do Twitter - but somebody that does should start trending with #TrumpLaughingStockOfUSA.

I would think he would take offense to that one and be up all night tweeting and not getting a good nights sleep nor any preparation for the debate.

Just a thought.

Trump Is Not Responsible For Turning His Supporters Into Deplorables....

he didn't create them in the sense that they were just common folk and he created them out of thin air or out of the blue because of his platform and positions.

No - what he did was unleash their pent up anger at the system that forced them to be politically correct and not give them an opportunity to say what they feel. He gives them a release. He gives them the courage to vent their racism, misogyny, islamophobia, xenophobia, etc and allowed them to express themselves under the cover of Trump himself - who isn't politically correct. They've harbored these feelings but weren't - until Trump arrived on the scene - able to express their feelings.

Now they feel embolden. They feel freed of their guilt of hiding their feelings and that it is suddenly alright to say those things that they kept pent up in their heads.

That is why I believe that they idolize Trump and have an undying loyalty to him. He expressed what they've felt and were unable to say. He made it ok to think and say what he says.

That is the scary thing about his followers. Now that they have become unleashed - where will it stop? How far will Trump and his followers take it?

Have Any Of Trump's Female Accusers Said They Are Willing To Take A Lie Detector Test.....

to prove that are telling the truth? If Trump says that they are all liars - he should take a lie detector test to prove that he is not lying about these encounters.

Trump Is Just Not Funny Anymore.....

I posted this last evening and I'm posting it again now - because we have just run out of any humor at all associated with Donald Trump.

Here is the ultimate blow that can destroy Trump.

Saturday Night Live should make a statement this coming Saturday saying they will not do any more skits/spoofs/jokes/impressions, etc about Trump.

They should say:

What he has done - sexual assault - is not funny and we will not make it a joke. We are appalled by his behavior and as far as we are concerned - he is dead to us. He will not be a part of our shows - going forward.


Trump looks at impersonation as flattery. It keeps him in the spotlight. He thinks that even negative publicity is good publicity.

So the only thing that I believe that will severely wound him is to ignore him. Wipe him from the spotlight. And the first place to do that is with SNL and the late night comedians.

Think about the impact that Alec Baldwin, Lorne Michaels and the cast of SNL would have if they started the next show (Baldwin as himself instead of the cartoon Trump) - saying that they will no longer do the Trump impersonation. They cannot condone - even by making fun of Trump - his gross behavior - and they will not dishonor women who were impacted by Trump by continuing that act.

This should be followed up by all the late night comedians - Fallon, Cobert, Kimmel, O'Brien, Meyers - following suit and dropping Trump from their monologues as well and for the same reasons.

Continually making fun of Trump - especially under the circumstances of what he's done - is not a laughing matter. SNL and all the comedians - should take a stand here and do this in respect for all the women that Trump has physically and mentally harmed.

I know that Trump is comedy gold to them - but what Trump has said, done and acted on is despicable and is not funny.

Donald Trump would be crushed by such actions taken by the people that he tries to be one of - TV personalities. They should perhaps go one step further and never invite him on as a guest again - a boycott of TV for Trump. His ego couldn't handle it. You got to know that he eats it up when they make him the butt of a joke. Stopping it would just do him in.

Think of how the MSM would react and cover such an action by SNL and late nite comedians. This would be a crushing blow to Trump and perhaps - just perhaps - such an action might get to the very core of Trumps core supporters. Maybe something like this would open their eyes.
