As the S.S. Trump sinks...the Rats are deserting the ship

By RF Schatten In the end…all great Political Puzzles are uncovered with the same expected conclusion; the presumed guilty, are always inevitably guilty…and to the very surprise of no one!  We have reached the point of the Trump/Russia Investigation, whereas one might say; The Plot Thickens! Enter, for the first time into the public limelight, George Papadopoulos. George who?? According to the White House; "a Campaign Volunteer with an extremely limited role". Well, I guess he's the type of "volunteer with extremely limited role" who gets rewarded by sitting as an Advisor on the National Security Affairs Council!...and all as a Junior Staffer?!?! Trying to dismiss his importance in the campaign, the White House and Michael Caputo, Trump's communications advisor during the campaign, dismissed Papadopoulos as a  "junior, very junior, staffer" who "never really landed on the campaign." You can't dismiss a man as a ...

Puerto Rico & the US Administration's Sham

By RF Schatten "If you're in trouble, or hurt or need…go to the poor people. They're the only ones that'll help…The only ones"  ~~~ John Steinbeck When an American Commonwealth, an Island of 3.5 Million American Citizens incurs a massive catastrophic disaster, the most logical, most humanitarian, and most responsible thing for the Federal Government to do, is to start sending massive amounts of Aid, Fast! Really Fast!!! Specifically Food, Water, and Medical Supplies!...it's the US Government's Moral and Legal Obligation!! Tragedy struck the Island of Puerto Rico with a vengeance! Hurricane Maria's Eye of 155mph Winds ripped its' way through the Island, causing the biggest disaster in Puerto Rico's history. In Humanitarian efforts and in Total Cost, It may very well be the biggest and costliest disaster ever, In US History!...and the US Virgin Islands, is suffering a similar fate!! Trump's initial response to his concern for...

The Folly of Amateurish American Diplomacy

By RF Schatten "You learn, just as you learn good manners, how to approach things with a certain amount of Diplomacy"  ~~~  Robert MacNeil When you have Kim Jong-un & Donald Trump; 2 impulsive Psychopaths, dreadfully Callow, Egocentrics, and raving stark Narcissists…what can ever possibly go wrong?? Admiration for someone's "Leadership" in the World, should be based on his or her positive accomplishments, not on a person's constant failures in Foreign Affairs throughout the World. An Administration without a solitary sense of Wisdom or Moral Leadership cannot Lead a Nation…and consequently, because of their actions…cannot ever lead a Free World! Diplomacy? In the Era of Trump? Where Immorality, Obscenity, crass Disrespect, Bad Manners, and Systematic Hatred reigns supreme?…Diplomacy, like Decorum…is a nasty dirty word in TrumpWorld!  Now, you got two Man-Babies holding pissing contests over waging Nuclear Annihilation. And all just for...

The Courage of a Community, while a President Showboats!

By RF Schatten "God grant me the Serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the Courage to change the things I can, and the Wisdom to know the Difference"  ~~~ Reinhold Niebuhr A Community of Heroes!...amazing how Mother Nature turns our American Communities of Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, all ethnics groups, both Repubs & Dems, Rich Man or Poor Man...all coming together, rejecting hate and rejecting prejudices, with only one goal in mind...saving the lives of their fellow man!! But even during times of natural disasters, amid all the 'Positive' attention on how American Communities bond with Courage and Moral Responsibilities, in times of Crisis & Tragedy...even then, you have the 'Negativity' of Human Nature. You have those who don't give a damn whatsoever about saving anyone except for themselves, it's those people who during times of Crisis, cowardly run away from their moral responsibility...even if they are safe on higher ...

As Mueller Closes In...this Guilty Man just can't hide his Guilt

By RF Schatten "Nothing is more wretched than the Mind of a Man Conscious of Guilt" ~~~ Plautus Wholesale Pardons including Himself, for Crimes not yet prosecuted and/or convicted?? The heavy stench of Guilt is flowing in the air, and blowing throughout the D.C area...but, nowhere more concentrated than around 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. The hardest act of a Scam Artist is to continuously show his Two Face when he tells you; "Trust Me"! as hard as he tries to conceal his guilt...and remember, Trump's mind seriously lives within his own delusional imagination!...no matter how much he tries, he has a way of accusing absolutely everyone else, while candidly and very stupidly leaking out his own Guilt, every day, every Tweet. Donald Trump wants absolute power to Pardon Himself, cause Donald Trump knows and the World knows, he's Guilty of being the most sinful & evil human being ever to occupy the office of the US Presidency...and then, some! It...

Charlottesville: A Live Introduction to Fascism

By RF Schatten "Those who do not Remember the Past are Condemned to Repeat It" ~~~ Santayana Never in my Lifetime, has this quote from my favorite philosopher been so relevant than today, in the Age of Trumpism...the sadness of it all? Those with a little Education understands, but are still powerless to do anything in the Idiocy of Trump's America! Yes! We live in a world where Laws are being attacked by the Lawless, where Morality takes a back seat to the worst forms of Immorality, where Obscenities and Lies by the Leader of a Nation are considered the norm, and all tolerated by so much ignorance! My friends, 'We' have all arrived at that historical Fork on the Road!...where a Dysphunctional populace, can't continue to  ignore life anymore!...whether you want to or not, you 'will' have to take a serious decisive stance! It's your once & maybe only chance in your Life that will affect your kids, your kid's kids, and all your ...

Spies, Lies, & Russian Ties: Sleeping with the Enemy

By RF Schatten They say; If You Elect a Clown...expect a Circus! Non-better words fit this Orange Humanoid Clown that pretends to pass himself off as President of the United States...and his Circus Atmosphere for every single event he ever participates in! From Cabinet Meetings, praising & hailing Heir Führer!... to all his Foreign Visits and Gaffes!...from his "Re-Elect" Rallies 4 years before Re-Election!...down to his ridiculously bombastic Tweets! Irony?? Elephants were always associated with the Circus and the Republicans. Now, the "Circus" Elephant is becoming extinct...just like that White Elephant once known as the Grand Old Party. To collaborate in a "joint" venture with Russia on a tight impenetrable Cybersecurity Unit, to protect "Americans" from Voter Fraud by the Russians?? W...T..F...!?!? Are we all really that stupid or naive, and not realize what's really going on?? Who's fooling who?? An Administrat...

In Search for the Goodness in a Faux Leader's Soul

By RF Schatten "Human  Greatness does not lie in Wealth or Power, but in Character and Goodness"   ~~~ Anne Frank Where is the  Goodness in such an Immoral character like Donald Trump? Damn!! I really would like to know, cause the Republican Party has always bragged about being the  Party of Morals and "Family Values", as the Conservative  Middle-Class' protectors of America's Working Family. All the GOP Sins  committed since the Great Communicator, and created by all their phony  Values...rewarded them with a Man called Trump!...but remember, Karma is in the  batter's box, just waiting to cause havoc upon an already tumultuous American  Administration!! Trump style  Immorality has been part of the GOP, ever since I can remember...they just left  it home most of the week, and a little civil discretion helped, too.  Today, Christian  Evangelicals and Right-Wing organizations are heavily promoting Immorality...
