Somebody Should Write A Book About Trump With His Deplorable Supporters As The Audience.....

It should describe how Trump has conned them and taken advantage of them and made them look so ridiculously stupid and idiotic.

It should chronicle how he's brainwashed them from the beginning and how he continues to use them currently.

It should detail how he really doesn't care about them at all and that all he cares about is how they make him look - and that all they are is pawns in his quest to destroy the American that he's told them he's making great again.

It should methodically go down a list of his decisions and asinine beliefs that he's conned them into supporting that really is causing them to shoot themselves unsuspectingly in their foot - his attempts at brainwashing them to believe that they are somehow benefiting - but are really being sucked dry of their rights as American citizens and how what he does will ultimately impact on them. It should show how he's reversed so many laws and rulings that will come back to haunt them or their children or grandchildren.

It should take them step-by-step through his lies and show how he distorts the facts to make them believe that he is being persecuted by the media/Dems.

It should be written to come off as an intervention to make them understand how he's used them to his advantage and not to theirs.

It should show how he's fleeced them of their money to buy stupid Trump symbols that add dollars to his bottom line. He lives by the old sayings that 'there's a sucker born every minute' and 'let the buyer beware'.

The chapters of such a book practically write themselves.

Now it's another story whether the deplorables would even buy or read such a book - but - I have to think that there are enough of them by now that either have questioned their support of him or have begun to question their support of him.

Certainly - the main stream media would pick up on such a book and communicate this to the public at large. Just look at how they are treating the Bolton book now.

Is such a book timely? I say yes. I'd rather see such a book be written before the November election than be written after the fact and he is no longer a factor to be reckoned with.

The Repugs are masters as 'voter suppression' activities. A book such as I'm suggesting could be a defense against 'voter suppression' or a 'reverse voter suppression' strategy. Maybe it would cause a number of Trump deplorables to question their support for Trump and may influence enough of them to sit out the Nov. election.

So Is There Anything In The Bolton Book That Could Have....

sealed the deal on the Impeachment of Donald Trump? Is there anything in it that would have caused the Repugs to vote to impeach? Let me clarify this upon edit - that's if Bolton would have been called before the Impeachment committee and have been made to testify.

Or is this just another book of revelations about Trump and his administration that will ultimately be given a pass?

Dealing With IDES - A Question....

My friend filed for unemployment now weeks ago. She is waiting for some certification letter to move to what she says is the next step and she hasn't received it yet. She's attempted many times to contact IDES only to get either a busy signal; wait on hold for hours and then be hung up on when she gets connected, She hasn't been able to ask the question about her filing or this certification letter. H

Has anyone here had the same experience - and if so - what did you do? What can she do? Is the system overwhelmed that they have dropped far behind what they can handle? Or are they just trying to run out the clock so they don't have to provide that extra $600.00.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Shouldn't The Arena In Tulsa Where Trump Will Hold His Rally - Have Trump....

sign a waiver - not to hold them responsible if he contracts Covid-19? They would need some protection from a litigious Trump. You know that Trump would try to sue them. That's what he does.

Would Trump sign such a waiver?

When Will The Oil Companies Start Raising The Price Of Gas....

to make up for all the money they've lost through this Covid shutdown. You know somehow we'll wind up paying for their losses.

I'm thinking gas prices will start to climb after Biden's inauguration.

Gives the Repugs and Trump something to harp on. 'See the Dems are in power now and prices are going up.'

A Suggestion For The Stone Mountain Confederate Carving....

Don't destroy the carving - but add a carving of a white flag of surrender to it.

Why Do Police 'Shoot To Kill'? Why Aren't They Instructed To....

'shoot to maim' like in his legs so one can't run away.

Not only is this guy in Atlanta dead - but the police involved just brought down a world of hurt on themselves for killing him.

So Your Willing To Give Up Your Life For Trump....

If you're going to Trump's Tulsa rally and sign his release - I guess you are willing to die for him.

So Did The West Point Cadets Give Trump The Silent Treatment?....

Didn't seem like much of a response to his speech. Very little applause. He almost sounded like a stand-up comic that gets no laughs. I don't think he got the reaction or the photo op that he wanted from this stunt. I think he'll be pissed.

Trump Takes It As A Challenge.....

We all know - because it is being done in plain sight right before our eyes - that Trump and the Repugs are trying to rig the Nov election to their advantage.

It's all over the MSM that this is being done - almost like it is an accepted fact.

Because everyone says it is being done - Trump can't miss the opportunity to make it happen. In his mind - everybody is expecting this from me and my Party - so why don't I/we take advantage of their tacit acceptance and do it. He takes this as 'kind of a challenge'.

In a sense - we are giving him and his Party permission to rig the Nov election. Suppress, cheat and steal votes.

He also is being given permission to stay in the WH after the Nov election - no matter the outcome.

Again - how many posts have we seen here on DU? How many talking heads on the cable news shows said he's going to do this? How many articles have been printed in the newspapers saying he's not going to leave the WH after the election?

And again - in his mind he saying to himself - if this is what they expect from me - I can't disappoint.

The thing that gets me is that we let this happen right before our eyes. We know what he and his Party are going to do - and we do nothing to stop it from happening.

How many more Georgia's are we going to give a pass to? Are we going to let this happen without a fight?
