Memorial Day & Trump's Distaste for Disabled Veterans

 By RF Schatten On this Memorial Day, as America honors and celebrates our fallen heroes...is hard not to sway away from its true meaning, when every 4 years, the Political Theatrics of Presidential Elections takes front and center over the remembrance of what this day is all about. And this year more than ever! the issue on Veterans is playing Center Stage with...aahyup! you guess it!...the Trumpster and his continuing life of a habitual lying con artist. He promised to Donate $1,000,000 dollars to Vet Charities...after more of his horseshit tales over 4 months ago that he raised over $6,000,000 for Veterans. The $6 Million Dollars? Vets say only $2.4 Million has been received and accounted for. According to Campaign Manager Corey Lewandowski, Trump "has taken a Million Dollars out of his personal account and has given it to Charities that he felt was worthy and any remaining money would be distributed before Memorial Day." The question remains; Whatever happened with ...

Elections, Idealism & the stark Reality of Life, revisited

 By RF Schatten Idealism and Altruism are certainly good righteous virtues, but sometimes...sooner or later, if only for self-survival...you become pragmatic and understand that you can't always get what you want. Don Henley once said; "Let Hope inspire you, but let not Idealism blind you". Every generation has their own idealistic fervor...some louder, more emotionally tense than others...and all have their heroes. My hero? Was, and will always be forever Robert Kennedy...but, my Hopes were swept away on that fateful kitchen floor of the Ambassador Hotel that night, just hours after winning the California Primary. Many of Bobby's followers aligned themselves with Eugene McCarthy, who would end up carrying the Hopes for so many of that generation...and again, just to see that Hope fade away when McCarthy, at the request of many inside the hall, to please go outside and speak to his followers and calm things down...did not and would not! The rest of that night i...

Vetting Donald Trump...Deceit, Lies & Hypocrisy

 By RF Schatten "The only thing worse than a Liar is a Liar that's also a Hypocrite" ~~ Tennessee Williams A man who loves to know someone's deepest secrets but refuses to reveal any of his is called a first class hypocrite...in the case of Donald Trump...a very creepy hypocrite with no class at all. The "Vetting" of Candidates whether for President or VP, is essentially a background check procedure to check out how clean a Candidate's Closet might be before he or she is picked to lead a nation...it's to appraise, verify, or check for accuracy, for authenticity, and for the validity of a candidate. In other words, to see if the candidate is qualified to push that Red Button...or not!  Yes, to find any "Bombshells" before they explode on the candidates face in front of the world. A not toon distant past example: the late Tom Eagleton's Mental Health and his Electroshock Treatments. And in today's global information superhig...

DéJá Vu: Trump, Romney, and Tax Returns

 By RF Schatten Hey! I don't play by your political Etiquette and Decorum cause I'm the Donald!...and I don't play by the Rules!! Donald Trump's Tax Plans may change from day to day and depends on who he's talking to...but when it comes to his own Tax Returns and whether he should reveal them or not? Trump doesn't play by the rules...Le Grande Orange is stealing a little of Mitt Romney's horseshit about revealing the Romney-Ryan Economic Plan...'after' they get Elected. In the Trumpster's case? He doesn't want to 'burden the country' with ordinary things, like his Tax Returns. “There’s nothing to learn from them”!...and everyone should be satisfied with that answer cause he's Donald Trump? Hey! The Donald knows everything! believe him!?!?  He said there's way more than enough time for the public to see his Tax Returns...after he's elected President! Bernie Sanders released his Tax Returns, so did Bill and Hillary. ...

Rude, Crude, and Lewd...the GOP's Identity Crisis

 By RF Schatten Rude, Crude, and Lewd...and they say the GOP  is fighting an Identity Crisis!?!? The Republican Dumbo has truly become that White Elephant...with its extinction estimated on or about July 18th - 26th. in Cleveland, Ohio. The new 'regime' of Heir Donald the Conceited will begin to take control of the GOP and rapidly change the philosophy and soul of a Moderate to Conservative Political Party, to all extreme forms of the Far Right Wing's philosophy, with just the right amount of Fascism thrown in! Here you have the presumptive standard bearer...the man voted by the Republican's rank and file to lead them to victory in November and become the most powerful man in the world...living, in his own little Misogynous and the Xenophobic world, and sprinkled with a lot of Hate, Fear, and Racism! Eric Erickson, Conservative host and founder of RedState said; “Twenty years ago Republicans supported impeaching the President of the United States for lying und...
