BOOGALOO

The Boogaloos are pro-Trump racist white supremacist Radical Right terrorists who infiltrate peaceful protesters to break windows, loot, set fires, terrorize, and create chaos. Then Trump says that this is due to permissiveness of Democratic local government and that he is the "law and order president" who will solve the lawlessness created by Trump and his loyal terrorists. He paints the gun toting vigilante who crossed the state line into Wisconsin with an AR gun as defending himself when he murdered Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber who tried to disarm him to protect their fellow unarmed peaceful protesters. Rosenbaum and Huber were American heroes who gave their lives in an attempt to protect their fellow Americans, but Trump does not mention their names because that would not serve Trump's political interests.

Trump creating chaos and then pretending to solve the problem that Trump himself created is reminiscent of what Hitler did in the 1930s in Germany and what Fascist dictators have done throughout history to justify their takover of formerly democratic countries.

A LETTER TO VLADIMIR

Hi Vladimir,

We Americans love Russian music, your symphonies, concertos, ballet, and opera. Please, Vladimir, leave your music with us, but take back your puppet Trump. He has really done great damage to our country. Trump has brought us lies, corruption, and disease. So we really don't need him. Maybe you can find some use for him.

Yours truly,

An American Hebrew

TRUMP'S DNI WANTS TO HIDE TRUTH FROM AMERICANS

Trump's Director of National Intelligence refuses to brief Congress on intelligence concerning election interference in order to hide the truth about interference by Putin's neo-KGB to promote the re-election of Putin's puppet Trump as president of the USA. This is how Fascist governments take over and destroy democracy. This what Hitler's Nazis did in Germany in the 1930s to take over Germany. We Americans (Democrats, Independents, and real Conservative Republicans) who support Joe Biden and oppose the Trump/Putin radical right gang who have taken over the Republican Party are the majority. We Americans must overcome the inequities created by the Electoral College, the neo-KGB hacking, the dismantling of the US Postal Service, and the misuse of the presidential levers of power. We can save American democracy by all of us voting and encouraging others to vote. Vote, send post cards, make phone calls, contribute. This election is existential for America. 

ELECT JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!

MURDERS IN KENOSHA

 It started as an all too familiar story. A policeman in Kenosha, Wisconsin shot an unarmed Black man in the back, crippling him, in front of the man’s children as the man tried to re-enter his car. This resulted in peaceful protests which at night included destruction by opportunists who infiltrated into the protests. But a new element appeared. Armed White Trumpish gun anarchist vigilante goons appeared brandishing long guns to intimidate protesters. The police did nothing to stop the gunmen. Two unarmed protesters who tried to take away the gun from one of the gunmen were shot and killed by the gunman, a third was wounded. The unarmed American heroes who died trying to protect their fellow American protesters were Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber. America, remember their names, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber. These martyrs were heroes who died trying to protect their fellow Americans. If the police had done their duty and arrested or at least disarmed the gunmen, Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber would be alive today. By not doing their duty, the police were complicit in the murders. Tell me, would you have the protesters showing up armed? That would be wrong. That would be civil war. By encouraging vigilante gunmen, Donald Trump, the NRA, and other gun anarchists are complicit in the murders. And it all plays into the hands of Trump’s mentor on the other side of the world, Vladimir Putin and his neo-KGB. They would love to see America weakened by civil war. That is why they installed Trump into the White House.

CENTRIST BIDEN CAN PULL AMERICA TOGETHER

 In this challenging time for our country America needs Joe Biden, a reliable experienced honest compassionate centrist, who can pull us together, not Donald Trump a sociopathic narcissistic selfish kleptocratic incompetent dishonest radical who will stop at nothing to divert the public's money into his pocket and will use the levers of presidential power to steal the upcoming election from the majority of the American people.

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS!

BRING BACK AMERICAN DECENCY AND MOVE IT FORWARD TO GREATER HEIGHTS WITH JOE AND KAMALA!

TRUMP'S MISMANAGEMENT OF THE PANDEMIC CONTINUES

Trump has greatly mismanaged America's response to the COVID19 pandemic. At present there is no proven vaccine. The best obvious response to the virus now and for the past months has been to avoid contact with the virus by social distancing, wearing masks, and washing hands. But Trump early on tried to sweep the virus under the rug and argued against those measures to avoid contact. He argued that the virus is just like any flu and would magically soon disappear. He apparently thought that acknowledging the problem would hurt him politically. As a result a large part of the American population followed his false advice. As a result while the other developed countries worked their ways through the crisis and emerged on the other side with reasonable control of the pandemic and the ability to restart their economies, America still has the highest infection rate, the most deaths, and is still in the resulting economic recession. Trump has walked away from the battle, leaving it to the governors of the fifty states without the backup or coordination of the federal government. Now he wants to unleash an unproven vaccine on the American people without adequate testing on volunteers. It will lead to a wishy washy situation where Americans will be given a vaccine that has not been adequately tested. It will actually prolong the time to know if it is actually working. Also without testing, we will not know what side effects might exist. But Trump thinks it will help him politically. I myself am not willing to be a guinea pig for Trump. 

Trumpish situation

WHERE ARE WE AMERICANS NOW COMPARED TO BEFORE TRUMP?

Tell me my fellow Americans. Where are we now compared to before Trump? Trump came into office as president after 8 years of economic growth during the Obama presidency. President Obama took office during an economic crisis caused by an unnecessary tax cut for the wealthiest Americans during a time of two expensive wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. Afghanistan was unavoidable after 9-11, but Iraq was a mistake. I believe George Bush was well intentioned,  but nonetheless the invasion of Iraq was an unnecessary and expensive mistake (in lives, dollars, and America's position in the world). In rescuing America from its economic disaster, Obama saved capitalism. The Trump gang at the Trump Party Convention has tried to paint Biden as a socialist, but that is blatently a typical Trump lie. They seem to neglect mentioning that Trump colluded with Putin's neo-KGB who helped get him elected president through influencing enough gullible Americans in swing states through social media to win Trump the Electoral College (although Hillary Clinton won the popular vote). During his time in office, Trump has falsely claimed the Obama economic growth as his own. He has continued the stock market growth by artificially lowering interest rates. But the stock market today has become detached from real economic growth and instead is propped up by low interest rates. Meanwhile the low interest rate for Trump's rich cronies has robbed America's Treasury creating the greatest deficit America has ever experienced. 

Many Republicans today have temporarily abandoned what was once the Republican Party but is now the shrunken Trump Party. Many of the commentators we see on MSNBC are those Republicans who can not stomach the dishonesty, hypocrisy, bigotry, and treason of Donald Trump and his extremist enablers. These refugees from Trumpism are the true Conservatives. The differences between American Liberals and American Conservatives are not as great as the differences between them and authoritarian Trumpers. In this upcoming election, we need to unite in supporting Joe Biden who truly will represent the majority of Americans. At some time in the future a real moderate conservative Republican Party will re-emerge, and we can duke out the details between us. That's how we will achieve real progress in America.

DESCENT FROM DEMOCRACY INTO AUTOCRACY

 The Cambridge Dictionary definition of autocracy is "government by a single person or small group that has unlimited power or authority, or the power or authority of such a person or group." Julius Caesar turned Rome from a republic into an imperial autocracy in ancient times via a civil war. But in more recent times democracy was often turned into autocracy not by war but by perverting the democratic system of elections. Adolf Hitler, the most notorious and cruel dictator of relatively recent times, became Chancellor of  the Weimar Republic in Germany by being elected and then over a period of a few years dismantling the republic making himself dictator. Vladimir Putin transferred a brief flirtation with democracy in Russia after the end of the Soviet Union into a dictatorship with a false face of democracy. Similarly we have seen other countries in Eastern Europe regress from temporary democracies back toward various degrees of autocracy, for example Hungary and Poland. In the past few days we have seen people in Belarus coming out and daring to demonstrate after the election in Belarus was obviously rigged to keep the leader in office. The main opposition leader in Russia was poisoned a few days ago and is now in a coma. Here in America where we have had a democratic republic for 250 years, we now have a president (Trump) who idolizes dictators like Putin, who lies continuosly, and who has fired competent people in high levels of government (including those who he himself appointed) because they spoke the truth, and he has replaced them with sycophant cronies who enable his grab for authoritarianism. Every time he flaunts the law and gets away with it, he becomes bolder in his attempt to corrupt American democracy. We are now approaching an opportunity to remove Trump from office through an American election. Trump and his gang are doing everything they can to suppress the votes of the American people. We, the American people, must not fail. This is an existential election for America. 

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN AND KAMALA HARRIS! Throw Trump and his gang out of office. We must unite, Democrats, real Republicans, and everyone else. We can duke out our differences in the next election. But now we must unite to preserve our democracy, to bring back rational government, and to stop tyranny. 

THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Congratulations to Joe Biden for a great speech at the end of Democratic Convention. He articulated the goals of the Democratic Coalition clearly. Also congratulations to the Democratic party for presenting a great and innovative convention virtually in the midst of the COVID19 pandemic which eliminated the possibility of a traditional convention. Actually I think this kind of convention is an improvement over the traditional boisterous crowded balloon filled extravaganza. This virtual convention allowed greater participation by the ordinary people and concentrated more on substance than the traditional convention. Perhaps in the future after the scientists with the support of President Biden have taken us out of the COVID crisis, this or something like it should become the new tradition. It wouldn't be the preference of circus hucksters like Trump, but who cares?

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN!

VOTE FOR THE FUTURE

TRUMP VERSUS THE UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE

 Trump in a desperate bid to rig the upcoming presidential election in his favor removed the Postmaster General and replaced him with one of his cronies, Louis DeJoy. DeJoy has acted to destroy the US postal service (including removing sorting machines and mail boxes) in the middle of the COVID19 pandemic. The Trump gang hopes this will decrease the number of Democratic mail in votes that will reach their destination in time to be counted, thus suppressing the vote in Trump's favor. Incidentally DeJoy has another conflict of interest in that he is heavily invested in UPS (United Parcel Service) which competes with the US Post Office. I will never use UPS again! Fortunately the US House of Representatives has been called back from recess to address the issue, and DeJoy is set to testify on Monday. The light that has been shown on DeJoy's schemes has caused him to say that he will pull back some of his sinister actions against the postal service.  But it remains to be seen if he will actually do it, and if he will correct the misdeeds he has already committed.

FREE AMERICA FROM THE TRUMP GANG

INCOMPETENCE

The Cambridge Dictionary definition of incompetence is "not having the ability to do something as it should be done." The most glaring example of Donald Trump's incompetence is his mishandling of the COVID19 crisis instead of springing to action when he was first informed of the pandemic starting in China the way President Obama acted with the EBOLA virus epidemic in West Africa. Obama assembled an international response early to stop it before it significantly affected America. In that way we showed the world the competence of America as well as preventing the virus from significantly reaching our country. Trump tried to sweep COVID under the rug because he thought knowledge of it would hurt him politically. He said it would miraculously disappear. Trump fears knowledge instead of embracing it. As a result of Trump's mishandling of the crisis more than 5 million Americans are known to have been infected with COVID 19 and 169 thousand have died from the disease. Compare that to 2 American nurses who contracted EBOLA during the Obama presidency and neither died. The Covid crisis also contributed to an economic crisis that has put millions of Americans out of work. There are many other examples of Trump's incompetence, but they are too numerous to present here.

CORRUPTION

The Cambridge Dictionary definition of corruption is illegal, bad, or dishonest behaviour, especially by people in positions of 

power. By that definition, Donald Trump is a corrupt president. He lies incessantly. He fires people under him who speak the truth and replaces them with sycophants who agree with him no matter what hes says or does. A few examples are AG Barr who uses his office to cover up Trump's illegal and dishonest actions and attack anyone who disagrees with Trump. Trump fired Dan Coats from his job as National Intelligence Director because Coats refused to deny the attack on our elections by Putin's neo-KGB to favor Trump and instead installed a sycophant to cover up for him. Trump fired the Postmaster General and replaced him with a corrupt sycophant (Louis DeJoy) who is now disrupting the US Postal Service to suppress voting because he knows the majority of Americans favor Joe Biden over Trump. Trump instructed his ambassador to Britain to pressure the British government to move a British golf tournament to Trump's Hotel in Scotland. These are just a few examples of how Trump has used his presidency to profit from his position of power. The list of Trump dishonest and bad actions goes on and on.

FASCISM

The Cambridge Dictionary definition of Fascism is "a political system based on a very powerful leader, state control, and being extremely proud of country and race, and in which political opposition is not allowed." That sounds like the policy of Vladimir Putin and to which Donald Trump aspires. If Donald were to win the upcoming election, he might actually get his wish of becoming a dictator like Putin. We the American people must not allow that to happen.

CONGRATULATIONS KAMALA HARRIS

Congratulations to Kamalla Harris on being selected to be Joe Biden's running mate, and congratulations to Joe Biden for selecting Kamalla Harris. You guys will be a great team to beat Trump in the November election and a great team to run our country. Americans, don't relax. We are not there yet. Tricky Trump and his gang will use every trick in the book to thwart the will of the American people using voter suppression, using Trump's crony Postmaster to screw up the mail, and using Putin's neo-KGB to attack the American election. We must be diligent. 

VOTE BLUE! 

VOTE FOR BIDEN/HARRIS.

KLEPTOCRATIC TRUMP

The Cambridge Dictionary definition of kleptocrat is "a leader who makes himself or herself rich and powerful by stealing from the rest of the people." That fits Donald Trump. He wouldn't put his investments into a blind trust. He temporarily put his sons in charge of the Trump company so he can keep his finger in it. He hides his income tax returns. He tried to pressure the British government into holding some golf tournament at his Scotland golf resort. He admires and sucks up to Vladimir Putin, the kleptocratic leader of Russia. He causes foreign representatives to stay at his hotel in Washington, DC which is located in the old post office and which makes him the tenant and landlord of the hotel creating a conflict of interest.

VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN. MAKE THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT SERVE THE INTERESTS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, NOT THE PERSONAL INTERESTS OF THE PRESIDENT.

NARCISSISTIC PERSONALITY DISORDER

Here is a definition of narcissistic personality disorder I found online at the Mayo Clinic Website. It appears to fit Donald Trump.

"Narcissistic personality disorder — one of several types of personality disorders — is a mental condition in which people have an inflated sense of their own importance, a deep need for excessive attention and admiration, troubled relationships, and a lack of empathy for others. But behind this mask of extreme confidence lies a fragile self-esteem that's vulnerable to the slightest criticism. A narcissistic personality disorder causes problems in many areas of life, such as relationships, work, school or financial affairs. People with narcissistic personality disorder may be generally unhappy and disappointed when they're not given the special favors or admiration they believe they deserve. They may find their relationships unfulfilling, and others may not enjoy being around them."

We don't need another 4 years of Trump's narcissism. VOTE FOR JOE BIDEN. MAKE AMERICA SANE AGAIN.

THE EXISTENSIAL ELECTION

The upcoming election in November is an existential one. Votes for Biden, a Democratic Senate and a Democratic House of Representatives will be votes for American democracy. Votes for Trump and his gang would be votes for Putin-style kleptocracy.

THE RUSSIAN ENIGMA AND TRUMP

Russia has produced some of the greatest classical music in the world, for example think of the great Russian composers like Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Glazunov, Rimsky-Korsakov, Moussorgsky, Shostakovich, and so many others. Russian folk music is beautiful. Yet this same country that has produced such beautiful music has never gotten their act together when it comes to good government. After centuries of corrupt oppressive czarist rule, they replaced the czars with an oppressive Bolshevik Soviet Union that became particularly oppressive under Stalin. After Stalin died, the oppression let up partially. Finally the Soviet Union broke up into what had been the various former Soviet Republics with the Russian Federation remaining the largest. It was hoped that Russia and the former Soviet Republics would now finally get their acts together. The results were at best mixed. Eventually Russia was taken over by Vladimir Putin, a former KGB agent, who brought some order to the country but also a return to iron clad oppression. Under Putin, Russia has become a kleptocracy ruled by Putin and and his crony oligarchs (who are essentially gangsters). Russia has developed it's vast fossil fuel resources that have made Putin and his oligarchs extremely wealthy while most of the people remain essentially poor. Anyone who poses serious opposition to the government is assasinated. The notorious KGB has been reconstructed as the FSB and SVR (equally notorious) which have been active in cyber attacks via social media to influence politics in other countries to undermine democracy and to compromise individuals in those countries. Their greatest success was in compromising Donald Trump and then installing him as president of our country by winning over a larger enough minority in crucial electoral college states to make Trump president despite Trump's loss in the popular vote. What else could explain Trump's slavish loyalty to Putin? What else could explain why Trump listens to Russian intelligence more that US intelligence? What else could explain why Trump has ignored the fact that Putin has placed a bounty on the heads of US soldiers in Afghanistan? What does Putin have over Trump to compromise him? It most likely has something to do with Trump's personal finances. Perhaps he owes money to Putin. Perhaps Trump has laundered money for Putin and his oligarchs in their investments in Trump properties. Trump is very opaque concerning his personal finances.

Americans, whatever your party, we have an opportunity to take our country back from Putin, Trump, Barr, McConnell, and their Trumpish enablers in the Senate in November. We can go after each other again 4 years from now, but this time is existensial for American democracy. Don't let Trump drag us down into  becoming a satellite of Putin's Russia.

CHOOSE THE US POST OFFICE FOR DELIVERING MAIL AND PACKAGES

Trump has installed his crony and fundraiser, Louis DeJoy, as Postmaster General, in other words head of the US Postal Service (USPS). DeJoy and his wife own substantial investments in United Parcel Service (UPS) which is a direct competitor to USPS and therefore a conflict of interest. During his time on the job, DeJoy has taken steps to weaken USPS, the service he is supposed to promote. Trump and DeJoy want to impair America's postal service to interfere with VOTE BY MAIL because it is in Trump's political interest to suppress voting in the upcoming presidential election. Personally, I prefer to use USPS (the  US Post Office) rather than UPS because I have found that USPS is less expensive and more efficient than UPS. 

Therefore Mr. DeJoy should not be Postmaster General because of his conflict of interest, and I suggest that if you have a choice you should choose the post office for delivering your letters and packages rather than UPS

PUTIN IS PUPPET TRUMP'S PUPPETEER

Putin pulls the strings, petulant Donald Doll Trump performs, and Trump's cronies sing their dismal chorus. AMERICA: ELECT JOE BIDEN AND TAKE BACK AMERICA FOR OUR DIVERSIFIED COUNTRY OF IMMIGRANTS, DESCENDANTS OF IMMIGRANTS, AND NATIVES WHO ARE THE REAL AMERICA. Let all of America be the chorus and sing out with a better melody.
