The Party . . .

(from 1984 by George Orwell)

" . . If there was hope, it must lie in the proles, because only there, in those swarming disregarded masses, eighty-five per cent of the population of Oceania, could the force to destroy the Party ever be generated. the Party could not be overthrown from within. Its enemies, if it had any enemies, had no way of coming together or even of identifying one another. Even if the legendary Brotherhood existed, as just possibly it might, it was inconceivable that its members could ever assemble in larger numbers than twos and threes. Rebellion meant a look in the eyes, an inflection of the voice; at the most, an occasional whispered word. But the proles, if only they could somehow become conscious of their own strength, would have no need to conspire. They needed only to rise up and shake themselves like a horse shaking off flies. If they chose they could blow the Party to pieces tomorrow morning. Surely sooner or later it must occur to them to do it? And yet - !. . . "

Dear . . .

. . . Elected Official,

Do you still doubt the efficacy of invoking the 25th Amendment of the Constitution, or have you grown too accustomed to such behavior from elected officials?

Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump

The Fake News Media wants so badly to see a major confrontation with Russia, even a confrontation that could lead to war. They are pushing so recklessly hard and hate the fact that I’ll probably have a good relationship with Putin. We are doing MUCH better than any other country!

Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump

The Fake News Media is going Crazy! They make up stories without any backup, sources or proof. Many of the stories written about me, and the good people surrounding me, are total fiction. Problem is, when you complain you just give them more publicity. But I’ll complain anyway!

6:37 AM - Jul 19, 2018

Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump

The Summit with Russia was a great success, except with the real enemy of the people, the Fake News Media. I look forward to our second meeting so that we can start implementing some of the many things discussed, including stopping terrorism, security for Israel, nuclear........

Donald J. Trump✔@realDonaldTrump

....proliferation, cyber attacks, trade, Ukraine, Middle East peace, North Korea and more. There are many answers, some easy and some hard, to these problems...but they can ALL be solved!

Nearly 800 mental health professionals have joined a coalition asserting that they are so alarmed by Trump’s mental health that they feel a duty to warn the public. (Jonathan Ernst / Reuters)

Please do something to rid our nation of this problem.

Careful . . .

Those nasty memes again!

I assure you that I am in neither political 'camp' but I am a great fan of the facts. Regarding the one tying Hillary Clinton to Russia through uranium, I would suggest anyone trying to make a point  should refrain from using the Trump playbook, because that is one source that contains a dearth of factual information. 

( from https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/hillary-clinton-uranium-russia-deal/)

". . . Among the ways these accusations stray from the facts is in attributing a power of veto or approval to Secretary Clinton that she simply did not have. Clinton was one of nine cabinet members and department heads that sit on the CFIUS, and the secretary of the treasury is its chairperson. CFIUS members are collectively charged with evaluating proposed foreign acquisitions for potential national security issues, then turning their findings over to the president. By law, the committee can’t veto a transaction; only the president can. 

All nine federal agencies were required to approve the Uranium One transaction before it could go forward. According to The New York Times, Clinton may not have even directly participated in the decision. Then-Assistant Secretary of State Jose Fernandez, whose job it was to represent the State Dept. on CFIUS, said Clinton “never intervened” in committee matters. Clinton herself has said she wasn’t personally involved. . ."

Give me . . .

(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/24-hours-later-trump-claims-he-misspoke-helsinki-meant-say-n892166)
". . . Trump attempted on Tuesday to clarify his widely criticized comments in Helsinki, saying that he had misspoken when he said a day earlier that he did not see why Russia would have meddled in the election. Trump said Tuesday he meant to say he did not see any reason why it wouldn't have been Russia that interfered. . ."

Give me a fucking break
How much more of this
Do we have to take?

If You . . .

. . . Didn't see it coming?
. . . Then you're blind

It was right before your eyes
For such a very long, long time
But instead of truth and right
You chose ambition and your climb

Do you fear things that could happen
To your plan if truth be told?
You should fear, the more, disaster imminent
As this thing goes uncontrolled

You dismissed and rationalized, to date,
Devastation undertaken
Acting like a schoolboy
Whose team victory's been shaken

Now the world has seen the impotence
Clearly present, still ignored,
Of one we've place in charge of all
Who has given us our reward

So what to do now?
Clearly this situation we must improve,
If we are to remain a noble state
This aberration must be removed

What do you think?
