Support . . .

Dear Mr. Jozwiak,

. . . in the face of the President Trump’s incredibly disconcerting behavior, we must fight for our values as a nation. I have long believed that good leaders are humble, not haughty. Good leaders have the courage to stay out of step when everyone else is marching to the wrong tune. Good leaders don’t divide people, they unite them. They don’t build walls, they build history. Moreover, good leaders remember the Golden Rule: to treat others as they would wish to be treated. If President Trump wants to be a president for all Americans—as he promised on election night—he would do well to adhere to this. But whether he does so or not, we must do everything we can to ensure that all Americans receive equal protection under the law. Moving forward, I will continue to work to hold both the President and his Administration accountable for something the American people expect and deserve: a federal government run with transparency and integrity. . .

With best personal regards, I am,

Sincerely,

Tom Carper
United States Senator

King . . .

(from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvLQyIJJAqE, comments on a video of a recent speech)
"God bless President Donald J Trump and his supporters!!!"

"We have the hottest girls in our party! Not those gross sweaty, hairy, smelly democrats with no job and no future."

"But a face has lips too."

"US politics is strange"

"I love how excited the women got when President Trump looked at them!!"

"Troll, get a life."

"Trump just needs to look at a woman and she'll have an orgasm"

"God bless President Trump!"

". . . president Trump God is with us we don't need the dirty money from the bad guys. God bless you!!!!! we worship God we DON'T worship the government."

"Does he realise he's president?"

"I don't care if you are left or right wing. Trumps female supporters are wayyyy better looking.

"Conservative women are so hot!"

"Man...Trump is legit. Straight boss."

(from https://idiomation.wordpress.com/tag/in-the-land-of-the-blind-the-one-eyed-man-is-king/)
“In the country of the blind, the one-eyed man is king” i

“In un mondo di ciechi un orbo è re.”

“Those that rule must hear and be deaf, must see and be blind.”

“When a blind man bears the standard, pity those who follow.”

“If a blind man leads a blind man, both will fall into a pit.”

“Can a blind man lead a blind man? Will they not both fall into a pit?”

“The One-Eyed Man Is King.”

Demoralizing?. . .

Yes folks, we're here. We've reached the point where our president's most pressing issue is a non-issue. . .

(http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/315721-spicer-negative-trump-coverage-is-demoralizing)
". . . There’s this constant theme to undercut the enormous support he has,” Spicer said of Trump.
. . He said the Republican had repeatedly been underestimated by a media landscape that constantly second-guessed him. . . “And it’s unbelievably frustrating when you’re continually told it’s not big enough; it’s not good enough. You can’t win.”. . ."

First of all, still unbelievably, he already won. (Remember the election.)
Second, it's time for this young man (pick one, Trump or Spicer) learn what every OTHER seven year-old has to learn . . . You can't always have it YOUR way (read: pretend that the facts do not exist).

What . . .

. . . more. . .

. . . need be said?

(from http://www.nbcnews.com/politics/first-read/first-read-gop-trump-go-unraveling-break-glass-mode-n622116)
". . . In a Washington Post interview, Trump declined to endorse House Speaker Paul Ryan against his primary challenger . . .

He reiterated that he hasn't endorsed Sen. John McCain and said the onetime prisoner of war "has not done a good job for the vets". . .

He slapped out at Republican Sen. Kelly Ayotte, saying "she has given me zero support". . .

He suggested that Americans should pull their 401(k) funds out of the stock market. . .

He said he's "always wanted" to receive a Purple Heart but that having one gifted to him by a supporter was "much easier". . .

He said that the handling of sexual harassment has "got to be up to the individual". . .

He accused Khizr Khan of being "bothered" by his plan to keep terrorists out of the country, and said that he had no regrets about his clash with the family. . .

He appeared to feud with a crying baby during a rally. . .

He reiterated that "if the election is rigged, I would not be surprised". . .

The sitting president of the United States publicly called Trump "unfit to serve" and urged Republicans to withdraw their support for him. . .

Trump spokesman Katrina Pierson suggested that Obama and Clinton are to blame for the death of Humayan Khan, who died in 2004, when neither were in the executive branch at the time. . .

An ally of Paul Manafort told our colleague John Harwood at CNBC that the campaign chairman is "mailing it in," leaving the rest of the staff "suicidal.". . .

Sitting GOP congressman Richard Hanna, HP head Meg Whitman and former Christie aide Maria Comella all said they plan to vote for Hillary Clinton. . .

The Washington Post released a transcript of its full interview with Trump, indicating among other things that he paused five times to watch TV coverage in the middle of the sit-down. . .

A GOP source told NBC's Katy Tur that Reince Priebus is "apoplectic" over Trump's refusal to endorse Ryan and is making calls to the campaign to express his "extreme displeasure". . ."

Still . . .

. . . supporting??? . . .

(from http://blogs.wsj.com/washwire/2016/07/07/donald-trumps-pledge-to-defend-article-xii-of-constitution-raises-eyebrows/)
". . . At a closed-door meeting with House Republicans, Mr. Trump took a question about the U.S. Constitution. . . In attempting to demonstrate his reverence for the U.S. Constitution, Mr. Trump said that he supported not just Article I, but an Article XII as well. That caused some brows to furrow, because the U.S. Constitution has only seven articles. . . "

Bad . . .

. . . bedtime story . . .

Once upon a time a 'well-loved' Princess, seeking to the the Princess-in-charge of all the Land, fell afoul of 'those-who-would-quash-her-dream' and as a result, almost lost her chance to attain her diligently-sought title. It seems that in her past capacity as Princess of State, she exhibited some disregard for the principles one would expect from a respectable Princess of State. One such situation, of which many said there were numerous, involved a Squire who generously contributed to a foundation of which the Prince (her husband, you see) was in charge. As a reward for his kindly supporting her husband's cause, it appeared that he was to be rewarded with a position on the Inter-Land Security Advisory Board (ISAB) even though had not one white of knowledge or experience in the things that were done by the ISAB-namely . In fact, his only experience involved providing advice to the rulers of the Land on the use of tactical nuclear weapons and on other crucial arms control issues. When ABC News of the Land inquired of the Princess' staff the reason for the Squire's name being placed on such a list at all, the Princess' staff stalled the reporters and offered no explanation. Then, 'Mysteriously' on the very next day, the Squire, without explanation one, resigned his new post. ABC News of the Land later addressed the Squire directly about the incident. He became upset and had security threaten the ABC News of the Land reporter with arrest, much the same as the Prince and Princess themselves would most likely have done under similar circumstances. Needless to say, they all lived happily ever after.

Who . . .

. . . and why?

(from http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2016/03/who-are-donald-trumps-supporters-really/471714/)
" . . . poorly informed voters, swept up by a modern circus act orchestrated by a mass-media-age P. T. Barnum with arguably worse hair. . . male, white, and poor . . . a male-female gap (of) 19 percentage points (47 percent support among men vs. 28 percent among women). . . voters making less than $50,000, 18 percentage points ahead of his support with those who earned more than that amount. . . the absence of a college degree. . . a personal fear of terrorism. . . "

Worth. . .

. . . measured by money

Annual Salaries of selected 'celebrities'
-----------------------------------------------
Justin Bieber       $55 million
Jennifer Lopez    $12 million
Alex Rodriguez 27.5 million
Ryan Seacrest     $15 million
Johan Santana    $24 million
Oprah Winfrey $325 million
Peyton Manning $24 million
Judge Judy          $45 million
David Letterman $28 million
Katie Couric    $15 million
Tom Brady    $18 million

Complain if you want and you'll only receive agreement from me, but our 'celebrities' are grossly overpaid. Whether or not they are underworked will be a topic for another time. These amounts of money, while indicative of a tremendous amount of public support (i.e., fans), is, on a pragmatic level, uncomprehendingly unnecessary for one person to thrive.

But complaining alone accomplishes nothing and saps valuable time from a life better lived.
Yet if you feel strongly about it, there IS something that you can do.

DO NOT SUPPORT THEM.

Do not buy products by them or by the merchants that sponsor them. Do not pay for a ticket to one of their concerts, CDs, DVDs or games. This and this alone removes your contribution to their hefty salaries and thus from the equation completely.

Can't do THAT!, you say?

Then don't complain.

On what day. . .

. . . did God make fossils?

'. . . In a nod to a dramatic shift in public opinion, Barack Obama on Wednesday became the first sitting president to announce his support for same-sex marriage. . . "

Note that even our anemic press admits that public opinion has shifted. More evolution? I certainly hope so.
