Tonight I discovered something totally horrific, but totally true.

Warning: very upsetting current news about shootings in U.S.A.

...I was doing some research on a story where I put up a video I found on You Tube of a Tennessee sheriff talking to one of his deputes about a reckless driver. In the end, there is a shooting and a suspect is killed. That one is now up in "Videos and Multimedia" forum. (that single video is not what this is about)

In doing this research, I went to You Tube..and asked the site to find this ..Body Cam police shootings. I even put in word Tennessee. I thought I would find it immediately

The search came up with dozens of police shootings where suspects are killed. A few of the links were for shootings where police are injured, shot or killed. But most are videos of the actually shootings of suspects. All over the country..Say..in the last 10 years..Very few showed gunfights between the officers and suspects. I could only take looking at the descriptions of maybe 20 of these. Most seemed to be from different events at different times and places. I recall that Carolina cop who shot that man running away. Everyone has seen it.
The officer has been tried and I convicted I think. That video was up here at Democratic Underground....That one was North Charleston, South Carolina..Walter Scott shooting by Michael Slager in 2015. Slager was sentenced to 20 years.

But my thought was that the story that I looked for tonight was isolated, just one or two incidents. That is not true. Dozens of instances have been posted at You Tube where there are actual shootings and death. There are graphic warnings. Dozens from so many places in the U.S. Very sad reflection on what police often do and what happens as a result. Rarely innocent police are hurt and killed. But most of the time is seems to be some suspect hiding or running away. Lots of incidents. Too many to count. And this is very disturbing to me. I had to share these disturbing feelings about police and real shootings in the U.S.A. I guess I didn't kow there were so many..hundreds... I don't know what can be done. Perhaps someone here has an idea. And these are relatively recent, since requirements to wear these cameras are also recent... Thank You for reading this...

Simply put, Trump is a bully. The very worst kind, he takes advantage of everyone,

and basks in in own glow about everything. If by some chance, he make a mistake, and things go wrong, then it is someone else's fault, not his. Always attack, attack, attack. No matter what happens, he was a bully, is a bully and always will be one. He pushes people around and enjoys it. If someone gives him some excellent advise, (like stop the twitter nonsense, it hurts you) he is offended and does more of what he is advised not to do.. He hurts people and does not care. (Some pictures of his wife, seem to show that..but I do not know) Actually, it appears that he likes to hurt people.

I dislike him in a special way. He is a bully and reminds me of those I met in the past. Someone asked, why do you dislike Trump so much? It is because he is a bully and does everything that a bully does. He lies so much that if he does tell the truth, it is very hard to tell. The "bully" and the "liar" make him someone who is awful and mean. Hell, I am not sure I would ever want to discuss anything with him at all. He creates, "hate." And more "hate" is the last thing this country or society as a whole needs." He creates hate, hate and more hate.

Stock Market: Dow up 567.02. (2.33%) recovers about 1/2 of yesterday's loss

The Dow Jones Average of stocks, went up 2.33% Tuesday recovering about half of what it lost yesterday. This rebound is evidence that perhaps the plunge yesterday could be temporary and over blown. While to loss yesterday was HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! taken with today's gain that loss is less significant.

The above analysis was not made by some expert, but by Stuart G. The facts are correct, the rest is opinion.

Yup. Sean Hannity Found A Way To Blame Obama For The Stock Market Drop: Yahoo News

President Barack Obama left office more than a year ago, but that didn’t stop Fox News host Sean Hannity from blaming him for the stock market slide.

On his Fox News radio show on Monday, Hannity said the market drop ― which at its worst saw the Dow industrials plunge by nearly 1,600 points and closing down 1,175 points, wasn’t the fault of President Donald Trump.

“Because the Obama economy was so weak all of these years, we had just artificially cheap money,” Hannity said, referring to a Fox News analysis he had seen on the cable network.

He explained that “cheap money” is from borrowing at “ridiculously low rates,” which he added must now end.

“The government has artificially, the Fed has artificially, kept the price of money down and the price of borrowing down, and now that’s going to come to an end.” Then, he declared that the plunge ― which saw stocks erase all their 2018 gains ― is actually good.

It was NOT the worst drop in terms of percentage...take a look and get a perspective:

please get a perspective on this...please...

Today the market dropped 4.60 percent
In 87 the market dropped 22.60 percent
On October 4, 1929. the day that the market "crashed"

................market dropped 25.0 percent..

Mr. Trump now defines "treasonous" as not applauding him at SOTU. He sould look in mirror.

I didn't know Trump was an expert on definitions. (which he is not)

But He is an expert on "stupid", which he is an example of.

For whatever reasons, this was said today. Why? I don't know. We will find out. When I read it, I thought it was a "joke." It is not....what else can one say?

Nixon and Trump have one common trait. Both believe/believed that they can do anything,

and get away with it. For Trump it is his collusion with the Russians. For Nixon, collusion with North Vietnam. There is evidence that Nixon tried to cut a deal with North Vietnam before the 1968 election. He told North Vietnam that if it cut a deal with him as president, then he would do much better than Johnson who was at the time trying to negotiate with them. Undermining the President of the United States in that way is treason. Trump's collusion with Russia might also be called that.

What is important is the arrogance of both that they could do "anything", and get away with it. I believe that right now Trump believes he will get away with everything that he has done. No matter what Mueller or anyone says or does, he thinks he will get away with it. Same thinking as Nixon.

Those who have watched politics a long time know this: Trump has lost.

It is only a question of "when" not if. Why? Trump has totally offended most of the world with his lies and self centered way operating. Moreover, this job is not like his businesses. He cannot declare bankruptcy and start over. To get some peace and serenity back, he must resign. That is the only way.

Trump has totally pissed off the FBI, Great Britain, Germany, Canada, Mexico, every Democrat or independent in the U.S.A., the military, and on and on and on. His total lies and total self absorption are the key. Whatever limits there are or were, Trump has gone way beyond them. There is a certain way you act when you are a leader of a nation in the today's world. Trump acts in ways that no leader would act. Further, he cannot un- brake the laws that he has broken. He lied when he swore to uphold the Constitution. Most of the media is totally offended by Trump, as are many business leaders. The U.S.A is a great country. Trump is a classless fool with no clothes on. He has no class. None. He is a total embarrassment to most of us.

For those who want to see and understand what "class" is all about , one only needs to compare the actions and behavior of Trump with the person who was our last president. After a short thought and a moment, almost everyone will see and understand the difference. Unfortunately, Trump is not part of that ..."almost everyone."

Who will win? The liar? or ..The expert on liars?

Trump has been a liar all his life.
Mueller has been after those who lie and commit crimes...all his life.

I think the chief liar will lose this time, and he will lose big. Mueller and his team will get this crowd. This is a gut feeling. Trump's methodology is to attack and disparage those who accuse him. Attacking the FBI just forces Mueller to be more persistent at proving Trump and friends committed crimes. I believe that Trump really doesn't have a clue as to who he is up against. This isn't some "lawsuit." that can be settled.. This is a criminal investigation led by some of the best investigators in the country. From a distance, it seems quite likely that Trump's crew committed some crimes. But these investigators will find out and charge those who "committed crimes." I believe those charged will be found guilty. Some have said if the charges come out of New York, then Trump will be unable to pardon. We will see. Mueller is taking his time. We will see.
