The Peruser

By RF Schatten "Corruption is worse than Prostitution. The latter might endanger the Morals of an Individual, the former invariably endangers the Morals of the Entire Country" ~~~ Karl Kraus I don't need to define "Corruption"…if you don't see it, you have some serious problems my friend!…or maybe, just in denial of a man named Trump? Those who always complain about Corruption in Government, have never known how good we've had it all along! Now America will take a good dark long look at what the rest of the world already knows….what "Real Political Corruption", really is all about!!! You'll never get rid of corruption in government, never!!…power corrupts! In our delicate "Democracy", it started when George Washington said; "I never told a Lie"! Every single political movement and philosophy since the start of human civilization corrupts itself when they obtain power…but, corruption to the degree expected? Not in...

By RF Schatten The Con Artist tells his "Mark"; Keep an eye on my opponents and the media…they are rigging the election! Like a good Crook & Con Artist, you keep the public focused on your opponent, and keep them guessing at the illusion of distrust, while very quietly…performing all those dastardly dirty deeds you accuse your opponents of doing! Why would anyone be so surprised that the Election Trump warned us about being Rigged? was Rigged!…rigged by Trump, himself!...with, a little help from his friends. Those friends? Right Wing factions inside the Federal Bureau of Investigation with the wittingly or unwittingly aid of Director James Comey…and Vladimir Putin. As a former Western Intelligence "officer" who spend 20+ years working in Russian Counterintelligence operations, whose identity remained unknown, told Mother Jones' David Corn and corroborated by a second source: “The Russian regime has been Cultivating, Supporting, and Assisting Trump for...

By RF Schatten Will America allow "President" Donald Trump to lie, at will? There are many things about a Pathological Liar, like the incoming President, who lies 75%-80%+ of the time…and most of the time, you can just let it fly over your head, cause you know the truth and how much horseshit this transparent liar can administer. But as President of the United States, when giving serious Foreign Policy Speeches…hopefully with a "teleprompter"…if not properly addressed, how do Americans interpret them? How would we know when Trump is lying or when he's not? We may have to put up with a lot of his garbage and nonsense for the next 4 years because "We, the People" elected…with all our infinite wisdom…a seriously flawed and incompetent human being, a habitual Liar, a renowned Billionaire con-artist/grifter, and Snake Oil Salesman extraordinaire to lead the entire Free World, all on his promise…"believe me"! But, how is the rest of the W...

By RF Schatten "Forget the Basket. The truly deplorable ones end up in the Cabinet" ~~~ John Dingell With White Supremacists running around the halls of the White House and parts of the Cabinet, the List of seriously dangerous characters occupying those sensitive positions shows Trump's famous "Awesome" lack of judgement...and Vladimir Putin's sly smile of jubilation for his foolish little Puppet! Looking at this Basket of Deplorables...what the Dictionary defines as: "causing or being a subject for censure, reproach, or disapproval; wretched; awful; very bad"...there's absolutely nothing wrong at all by casting Donald Trump, his Political Inner Circle, and his flock of fanatics, into this ever growing "Basket". Now, you can add 'Perversion' in the growing List of Presidential Appointment freaks...someone the President-Elect can associate quite well, with...Mike Huckabee, that good Christian Ex-Gov, Pastor, and best b...

By RF Schatten Has anyone ever had an awful nightmare, and suddenly wake up in a cold sweat and realize you weren't dreaming after all?...how many felt like that, waking up the morning after? Yes, it's no dream!!...America appears to have entered into the Age of Idiocracy. We, the People...the good USofA!...have unwillingly become part of a true live Reality TV Election Show, set in a world slowly morphing itself into a ménage of virtual online Internets with its Truths, its Fallacies, the never ending Gossips and Rumors...and all its false innuendos...with a growing influential Twitter CyberWorld, all mixed into an American Society with the most diverse Multi-Cultural, Multi-Ethnic, Multi-Racial, and Multi-Faith demographics all-time in US History. Those factors, with its wide connectivity of Social Media...the Internet, TV, and Mobile...along with the rest of the world's, we truly have become a "Global Village"! As the Country evolves, the American mind ha...

By RF Schatten "Idealism is fine, but as it approaches Reality, the costs become prohibitive" ~~~ William F. Buckley, Jr. The sweet inspiration of youth's Romantic Idealism...voting your Conscience is an extremely honorable Idealistic act...but not always necessarily, the right act. More often than none, that passion for youthful Idealism will turn around and slap you right in the kisser...and bite you where the sun doesn't shine! Welcome to Reality!! The 2016 Election...like no other in the history of the United States...are upon us, and it'll be etched in stone. Nothing like this Clown Show has ever been seen in the annals of US Presidential Elections! Actually, at this point in our lives...and of the general elections...we're way beyond a sane description. I've been an Idealist all my life. But you learn very quickly through the years, through your own experiences...whether they're good or bad experiences...you learn what a famous ballad of...

 By RF Schatten "Psychopaths are Social Predators, and like all predators, they are looking for feeding grounds. Wherever you get Power, Prestige, and Money, you will find them" ~~~ Robert D. Hare Not hard to find a celebrity who uses his Power, Prestige, and Money, to control his women...we've seen this parade of accusers before...so why are people so upset with Bill Cosby? Everyone believed his guilt, all those poor accusers and how awful all this was for them! Who would've ever expected good ol' Bill Cosby, to be a sexual predator? Yet, poor little Master Donald, known publicly for so many years as a Philanderer Extraordinaire, well known throughout his 1% circles and throughout his corporate workplace...cheats on Wife #1 with Wife #2, then Wife #3 comes around the corner...that "Access Hollywood" tape with Billy Bush took place just weeks after Don & Melania's Honeymoon! How everyone was willing to accuse Cosby immediately, yet Trump...

 By RF Schatten "Good Television News is always Substance over Form" ~~~ Jessica Savitch Well? Donald Trump may have the greatest "Form" in the history of mankind, 'believe me'! he probably said so, himself!...but! when it comes down to the nitty gritty of the reality of being on live national TV, in front of the world, one on one in a Presidential Debate?...where's the Substance? In Trump's case, it should be more like "Where's the Beef"?!?! Folks! you just can't fix stupid!! For the first few minute or so, Donald Trump actually acted respectful and polite, a little seldom seen decorum from Le Grande Orange...but, being respectful never has been his forte...it didn't take long for the Orangutan inside of him to come out firing! loudly interrupting Clinton 25 times in the next 26 minutes! To FactCheck or not to FactCheck...'that', was the question of the night. And for the first time in American Pol...

By RF Schatten In a period of 1 1/2 months or so, Donald Trump has been called both a Sociopath and a Psychopath, by two different sources...and every other name in the book, by a totally frustrated imploding Republican Party. First, he was called a Sociopath by Tony Schwartz, the ghostwriter that made Donald Trump a legend with "The Art of the Deal"...the book that Donald Trump personally boasts continuously in front of the world, as he repeatedly tells everyone who believes his horseshit, how genius of a writer & businessman he is! The "successful businessman" who claims to have 'written' his own gigantically successful Best Seller. As Ruth Bader Ginsberg said; "Trump is a faker"! a fake of a man who absolutely has no knowledge whatsoever on how to be a writer or all the stuff Schwartz wrote about. All the business acumen behind The Art of the Deal came from Schwartz, not The Donald...but, it did make him a superstar and "Business...

 By RF Schatten The Evolution of the Grand Old Party...from Honest Abe to Dishonest Don. "Honesty is the 1st Chapter in the Book of Wisdom" ~~~ Thomas Jefferson I'm the greatest Businessman on this Planet!...so what's a little $650 Million Dollar debt going to do to me? For someone like Donald Trump, who never pays off any of his debts...absolutely nothing! With a History of 4,000+ Lawsuits, sitting on both the Plaintiff's and Defendant's side of the tables...does Donald Trump really care? Just keep everyone entangled in the Courts, forever. But what happens if he becomes President? A little Conflict of Interest out there, folks!...or is Germany going to freeze all American Assets until "our" President pays off his "personal" debt to Deutsche Bank? How about the $950 Million Dollar debt...or better yet...scam, on the Bank of China? Like in all his business deals, they're all complicated arrangements where everyone involved ends up bi...

 By RF Schatten "Criticism, Ridicule, and Sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as Insult." ~~~ Rowan Atkinson Insults are part of life for Donald J. Trump, so why should running for President of the United States make any difference for someone who's totally indifferent towards the rest of society? Why is Trump doing so badly with Republicans? There's just so much someone is willing to put up, whether you agree with Trump or not...when a person's character, morals, and decency is attacked as an insult to their intelligence...is time to face the truth, and reject their Party's nominee. It was the GOP leadership, with those great minds in the RNC, that allowed this early form of Primate to run as a Republican...they could've booted him out for the insults, the total lack of respect and the foul language he's used on all his fellow Republicans...they could've thrown him out! but to keep the ...

By RF Schatten October 5th, 1789...they were only 7,000 women, then...but no one was about to stop them! "The Women's March on Versailles" just shows what a group of frustrated, angry, and hostile women can accomplish when push comes to shove. At that time, it was the chronic shortage of Bread, the high price, and the hunger that ran throughout a Nation where income inequality heavily favored the French Aristocracy. Let them eat Cake! Like Louis and Marie, Donald Trump doesn't give a rat's ass about a populace that's not financially as fortunate as he 'claims' himself to be. His 4 days of Trump Informercials was not about what his Policies are going to be, or what he's going to accomplish as President for the "good" of the People...there are no viable Policies for the GOP to run with, besides, he's already stated that he doesn't need Policies to run a Country!...it was a Coronation of a Rich Fascist thin-skinned narcissistic De...

 By RF Schatten “The idea that business exists simply to maximize profit and not use its power to be helpful in society is really destructive” ~~~ Jerry Greenfield Will the United States be willing to elect a person who's a certifiable fraud? A man who openly lies...a born liar...and a man blackballed by every major American Bank in the United States, cause his long-standing history of never ever paying back his loans! His need to deal with Foreign Banks? simply cause no one in the United States is willing to lend him another red cent! And this character wants to do the same with this Country as he has done for himself? I guess he means, destroying this Nation's economy first, and 'then' make it great again! Or more likely; make Donald Trump Great Again!...pay off all his debts with Taxpayers' Cash, and funnel all the money in Government contracts through Trump companies, like he funneled the GOP's coffers having all his expenses paid by the GOP directly ...

By RF Schatten Expected this year's RNC gathering of clowns to be beyond expectation?...well, it sure was!...way beyond my own, and everyone else expectations. How far could a once proud & dignified Conservative Political Party, lower the standards of that 'political bar'? Today's GOP version outdid themselves, right into the pits of hell, into the depths of Rudeness, Impoliteness, and Indecorum. Historically Rude, Historically Impolite, and the most Indecorous organized political event ever, in a civilized American Society!...decorum? This is a group of Sociopaths, Racists, Bigots of all Kinds...and Extremely Lily White!...all up for a good old fashioned Lynching! A convention, run by the foolish, for the inane!...BTW, has anyone seen the Trumpster's "very own" African American at the Quicken Loans Arena? This year's...the 2016 Clown Show -aka- RNC National Convention...turned into an all out, Freak Show! A little bit for everybody! from a ...

 By RF Schatten “I long for the day that Roe v. Wade is sent to the ash heap of history when we move past the broken hearts and the broken lives of the past 38 years.” ~~ Mike Pence If you have a choice of picking the most batshit obsessed RightWing Candidate in modern Political History...Mike Pence is your man! His credentials? RightWing Nut Jobs will love him! Christian Fundamentalists will adore him! 1) Strict Anti-Abortion (even if the Mother's Life is at risk} 2) Anti-LGBT 3) Anti-Birthright Citizenship 4) Pro-Tobacco, Anti-Regulations via Lobby & Industry 5) Opposes Auto Industry Bail-Outs 6) Supports an all out Military return to Baghdad 7) Against Patient Protection Act 8) Anti-Medicare Part D (Medicare Prescription Drugs) 9) Anti-Obamacare 10) Anti-Immigration / Anti-Dream Act 11) Anti-Medicare, Welfare, and Social Security entitlements 12) TAX Cuts for the 1% and trickle the rest of the cost to the American Worker 13) Anti-Public Education favoring ...
