The Coxswain
The Coxswain's JournalI am looking at the Nytimes report of his businesses and the losses ... Something struck me
I am thinking aloud here.
Donald Trump has always wanted to belong to the rarified Manhattan elites and has desperately tried all his life to be one of them.
He tried building what he thinks are 'classy' properties that they would love.
But they don't want him ... They see his brand as tacky and crass. And consequently Donald Trump's golf resorts etc is hemorrhaging money ....
Donald Trump is probably very aware of this and it eats away at him....The rise of Obama and how he was embraced by the people he has tried to impress all his life - just scrambled his brain. It is that visceral rage that he channels and that a lot of Magats identify with.
Am I wrong?
Do you think Debate is going to change a single mind?
Seriously - Does there exist a person - a rational person - who is struggling to make a choice between the two candidates based on policy positions / other objective measures - for whom the debate will be illuminating?
BULL SHIT.
BULL FUCKING SHIT.
This debate is as pointless as a pissing contest is.
Meanwhile at FreeperCuckooVille
Donald Trump Paid taxes .. because he paid FICA taxes on behalf of all the people the people on his payroll..what next? He paid sales too? Whoopdeedoo.
If Trump lets out a stinker .. they will take in lungfulls swearing that its the sweetest smelling fart.
Debate Prediction
Chris Wallace will not ask any seriously uncomfortable questions of Trump...He will let him lie and project.
And he will make Biden defend against baseless lies. "Mr. Vice President ...How do you respond to that ?"
$70,000 ...Seventy Thousand Dollars .. for haircuts.. and deducted as a business expense.
No wonder he is getting audited.
Should I kill a chipmunk
Firstly I am a vegetarian and love animals...
But this bugger is digging up the paver base under my patio .. I ignored it --- but its threatening the stability. He stores food inside the patio furniture ( in the winter when it is covered) ... there are droppings all over the place ... it drives me nuts..
I tried trapping it .. nothing happened .. it ate the bait though
I am thinking of killing it by making it walk the plank. killing is ILLEGAL in NJ ..as they are protected. what should I do.
I thought if Roe v Wade is overturned ..what is left for Republicans
They can no longer use it a wedge issue.
But I remembered there are many more steps left from making America into a christian nation ..( or as they call it - 'GREAT').. These assholes will not stop until they have Talibanized America...
Here are the structural reforms for police that I can think of
1) Get rid of municipal, transit, college, country police units ..Just have frigging STATE POLICE funded at state and federal level. They should be funded by income/sales tax. Not by Property taxes and traffic tickets.
2) No joining the police out of high school.. the lowest uniformed position should require a 4 year degree with some real world experience. This will automatically eliminate wannabe GI Joes - probably the biggest source of bad cops.
3) 2 year probationary period following police academy - prior to permanent hire.
4) Recruitment/Promotions/Contract should be through a state agency - free from nepotism and subject to legislature oversight.
5) Adequate representation of Minorities.
6) Central records of cop behavior. No Jumping precinct to precinct.
7) Special prosecutor for investigation of cop related crimes.
In seeking to boil the frog , Trump has been steadily increasing the temperature
He increases it some by saying/doing something outrageous that would have been the end of any other politicians career.
we are shocked
Republicans shrug - say its no big deal
Media does its headless chicken run
And the cycle repeats itself
Even if Biden gets elected -- it will take a lot of time for things to cool down and and for healing to begin.
Win or Lose - Trumpism has undone decades of progress.
