Let’s Choose Truth, Democracy & Freedom…Ronald Reagan once famously said he didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left him. Likewise, I am asserting I didn’t leave the Republican Party, the Republican Party turned into a cult. Most of the GOP is now fully behind a chronically lying, mentally unstable, temperamentally unhinged, corrupt con man of a hardened criminal. Politics & ideologies no longer matter compared to what is happening. If you think I would still be supportive of a party that’s gone off the rails like this & completely abandoned their moral principles, you’re nuts! But from some of the replies I get, Trumpeters in the tank for their cult leader truly are nuts!
Now at this pivotal moment in our nation’s history, every congressperson & even every American citizen have a consequential decision to make. Do we protect the Constitution & rule of law by removing a corrupt president who has betrayed our nation & his oath of office, or do we side with the cult in destroying our laws & Constitution by allowing a criminal to remain in office? In excusing a lawless president now, it sets the stage & normalizes future demagogues to lead our nation, from which we’ll surely be doomed. We’re now in a constitutional crisis. There’s a fork in the road & the direction we take in the near future will determine our destiny.
Whenever I get on one of my rants there’s no holding back, so here goes! I’m pumped up from the latest headlines. The more we learn what’s going down in DC, the more we realize we’re dealing with a evil mob boss presiding over his crime syndicate, & we cannot continue allowing a basket-case narcissist to subvert our nation. With Nixon, abuse of power & the cover-ups were more than enough to take him down. With Trump, we have all that & then some, with evidence he directly participated in the crimes personally. That phone call summary we saw (the actual transcripts remain hidden) between Trump & the Ukraine leader is proof of the very same crime of conspiracy the Russia probe was largely about. How soon we forget? Trump seems to have forgotten or maybe he just doesn’t give a damn about breaking the law.
It does seem he really doesn’t care, since we then heard in a press powwow Thursday morning, the prez doubled-down on his collusion/conspiracy crimes by calling on China & Ukraine to investigate the Bidens. From there in our week of bombshell headlines, released text messages showed a Trumpian pressure campaign demanding collusion from Ukraine, complete with a quid pro quo they’d pay a heavy price to their defense capabilities if they didn’t cooperate. In their skirmishes with neighboring Russia, the missile systems they need are literally a matter of survival. When the prez withheld military aid this summer without explanation, it’s clear he was strong-arming the Ukraine president to play ball by investigating Biden…or else!
Also the ongoing obstruction of justice through stonewalling the investigations by Trump & those around him cannot be refuted. Such cover-ups have actually been going on for years throughout the Russian probes. So all signs point to a criminalized presidency. He’s trapped like the rat that he is & is really lashing out this week at his accusers with a string of angry lies, since there is no legal defense for his own mounting list of crimes. The prez is also trying to normalize his criminal activities in the eyes of his base by publicly admitting to them, calling on foreign countries to engage with him in lawless collusion & seemingly proud of it. That is no different than a bank robber standing in front of TV cameras bragging about his heist while expecting to get away with it.
Now that we’ve been watching Trump’s circus act for years, besides being a criminal, he’s demonstrated to be a terrible human being (by most interpretations a jackass) & unfit for office. His crimes give us the opportunity to do constitutionally what must be done for the overall good of our nation, removing this clear & present danger from office & it’s imperative it happens soon. We shouldn’t just wait a year to vote him out, since the prez could do tremendous damage during that time & he’s already colluding with foreigners to taint the election. Trump & his orbit are now engaged in corruption & crimes at a scale never before seen in America, so in no way should the American people, the media & politicians excuse his actions by letting him off the hook. I believe even a GOP senate could turn on Trump after a few more bombshells hit the headlines & they finally decide the prez is more trouble than he’s worth.
We should have seen this coming when he first announced his presidential candidacy (& don’t say I didn’t warn you), coming out of the gates with such gems as Mexicans are rapists & POW’s aren’t heroes because they were captured. He’s a selfish lifelong con man, so his professional BS is good at weaseling out of things while his fawning fans swallow every lie, but despite those skills he must be held accountable. Not removing him would be a nightmare, but another 5 years with him in the White House would be our worst nightmare, a scenario when our country would be permanently scarred & unrecognizably damaged. Even beyond Trump, should we set a precedent it’s OK for our presidents to be pathological liars & corrupt criminals, that’s not going to end well for America.
Some take offense at such critical comments about our president, but he is our president & the people need to call him out when he crosses the line, which Trump has consistently sneered at & obliterated that line. I personally take offense to the divisiveness, dishonesty & destruction he’s bringing on our nation. His deplorable personal traits should be obvious to all us of, but when such a person happens to be our president, that makes him dangerous. And when someone with psychological issues also presides over the nuclear codes, he’s a real danger to the whole world! If we can’t keep him on a short leash until we can finally remove him, his dictatorial personality has shown a willingness to run roughshod over the Constitution, while his angry temper & vindictiveness could lead to catastrophes of unknown proportions.
Trump-world has a pattern of inventing accusations against their opponents, then trumpeting those conspiracies ad nauseam until their followers are convinced through repetition. I urge everyone not to believe Trump & the right-wing’s echo-lies & conspiracies crap, since they’re simply not true. With over 12,000 verifiable lies & counting since entering the White House, it’s amazing to me how anyone could still believe a word he says. As for Trumpeters you happen to run into, please immediately shut down their ridiculous arguments, consisting of knee-jerk reactions full of nonsense like both sides do it or look over there instead. Fact is, there is a right & a wrong, good & evil, so we must clearly distinguish to our Trumpeter friends which is which.
Another dilemma inside Trump-land, why would they so viciously attack the whistleblower when the info he/she exposed has proven to be true? The prez in coordination with his crazy echo can trot out all the conspiracies & blame their favorite boogeymen all they want, whether it’s the whistleblower, Biden, Schiff, Obama, Pelosi, the media, the FBI, deep state swamp or Hillary’s emails, it still can’t change the summary from the Ukraine call that uncovered proof of crimes in Trump’s own words. And when our prez describes that call as “perfect,” he’s gaslighting us to where he’s daring us to believe anything. If we could ever see the actual transcripts from that call, even his fawning base might understand how imperfect that call really was.
Nor can any echo-spin disguise Trump’s admission on live TV (plus in private phone calls) he wants to collude with any country willing to dig up dirt on his political opponents in helping him win another election, from which he’s daring us to think a serious crime is not really a crime. It’s just more gaslighting, but also possibly crosses over into treason territory. The dictator-in-chief is also using terms like coup & civil war & treason to ratchet up anger without evidence for demonizing his political rivals, which such vitriolic language could be paving the way for deadly violence to break out around the country from crazed Trumpeters. But our reckless prez doesn’t care, since his personal interests have always trumped America’s interests.
The lesson here is & I repeat, please don’t even listen to the president because it’s apparent he’s always lying, slanting the narrative to excuse & glorify himself, while talking a bizarre language only his hardcore Trumpeters can decipher. And don’t allow yourself to be brainwashed by his compliant nutballs in the echo who sow distortions & confusion. Just pay attention to all that’s happening around the prez, since when it comes to his scandals we have a doozy going on here, with hordes of hair-raising & incriminating evidence pouring in almost every day. Stay tuned with not just our messages, but the headlines every day or every hour, cause we never know when the next shoe will drop.
Late word has also come in more whistleblowers are ready to blow their whistles about the quid pro quo with Ukraine, so Trump the great dealmaker sees his presidency ready to go down under the weight of his latest criminal deal. Conspiracy with a foreign nation to defraud the United States is a major felony, while a quid pro quo added in with that foreign nation makes it even worse! Reports indicate the next whistleblower has more inside/first-hand info than the first one, which may play right into the quid pro quo & extortion case against Trump which is becoming increasingly clear. If Trump thinks the past couple weeks were bad, I’m confident it’s about to get even worse.
President Trump is the most immediate threat to our democracy, but the problem runs much deeper than him. When an entire major political party mostly buys into such an avalanche of lies fed to them by sinister forces like the echo-media, it causes nothing but trouble as such disinformation puts our whole constitutional democracy at risk. Infiltrating & corrupting the GOP is Fox fake news, de facto head of the entire echo-sphere, constantly parading out crazy conspiracies as if they’re fact long after they’ve already been debunked. Even prior to Fox joining the cult, I was warning of the ominous signs I saw coming from extreme sources on talk radio, social media & the tea party, so a President Trump was actually years in the making.
It’s incumbent upon us to warn others about Fox. Their audience is not stupid, only duped. Such low-information viewers accept the nonsense unconditionally at face value, never getting to hear the actual truths by living inside their hermetically-sealed bubble. So their viewpoints are shaped by lies, since Fox & the rest of the echo constantly spew those lies, & our prez governs based on the same lies. Living in their fictional universe detached from reality, their misguided mindset is eating away at our nation in a number of ways. It’s scary such people are voters, because they are incompetent voters from having a false worldview. And no democracy can survive when much of the population no longer accepts obvious facts, plus that mindset is tearing down the values & integrity a free society counts on to function.
When we watch cable networks such as Fox or MSNBC, the difference is the MSNBC opinionated commentary is based on real news with a partisan left bias, whereas Fox goes way to the far-right with fake news often made up by themselves. Propaganda from Russian bots or alt-right social media sites with divisive conspiracies designed to tear our nation apart also make their way into the standard Fox messaging. So in my humble opinion, it’s far better to watch a slanted liberal network with real journalists than a lying far-right network with conspiracists. Trump is a monumental problem, but he’s likely the byproduct of a bigger problem, a disingenuous/grifting echo constantly spreading garbage which the conservative base in our nation buys into without reservations.
I quit watching Fox prime-time a few years ago when it became obvious they were portraying an alternate reality apart from real news. And I never swear, but I found myself swearing at my TV set, so it was better to just remove myself from that unpleasant situation (but I’ll still watch Shep plus Chris Wallace on Sundays). Understand Fox was my go-to cable network for two decades. The conservative mindset has definitely changed steadily for the worst over the past decade. Weaning others off that echo may be the only way for that audience to rediscover their humanity, reality, morality & sanity. Check back on any of the Part 2’s in our blog (www.TheVORACS.com), & you’ll see how we always have several articles describing the annihilation of facts that Fox regularly presents.
Another classic example has surfaced recently when Trump mouthpieces on Fox & the echo diminish the real news & this biggest political scandal we’ve ever witnessed, by dredging up a debunked conspiracy theory about the Bidens which had its roots in an alt-right conspiracy site. That latest Biden smear has no credibility since Uncle Joe was just reciting the official position of the United States (& most all western democracies) that a Ukrainian prosecutor had to go, since he was failing at his job of rooting out corruption. It had nothing to do with Biden’s son since Ukraine had previously probed & dismissed that case prior to Uncle Joe’s statement. In fact, his son’s business dealings are no different than what Trump’s adult kids do routinely. Actually, in terms of pure dollar amounts, the Trump family grifting far surpasses Biden’s son: https://www.theatlantic.com/
I can’t stress this enough, so I’ll repeat my main points. As we’ve seen this past decade with echo-manipulations going back to the formation of the tea party, the GOP mindset has come to accept demonstrable falsehoods clearly contrived & far detached from reality. America cannot be effectively governed when a major political party believes in nonsense, so conservatives must return to sanity or else their GOP representation needs to be voted out. It’s just a shame the ruby-red states are populated by a majority brainwashed voting bloc, so they keep sending clueless far-right extremists to Congress. The current version of the GOP is of no real value to our nation, which in essence they’ve become overly nihilistic & destructive. And America can’t be America anymore when so much of the population influenced by the echo dismisses values & truths, instead embracing bitter divisions, selfish greed, unbridled power, rampant corruption & criminal acts. In other words, MAGA can’t happen with Trump at the helm. Our prez could do us all a favor by negotiating his exit from the White House in exchange for not having to move into the big house.
Perusing these link titles gives a good overview on the latest scoops about the scandal these past few days, while clicking on any of the links provides a deeper dive into the incriminating evidence. Please spread the word with others. With our commentary & numerous news articles, we help distinguish the facts from lies in the most recent messaging, which should be plainly obvious to clearheaded people. But unfortunately, the chuckleheads in the right-wing echo-audience have enormous difficulty discerning the truth, but it’s my sincere hope this info can even help them assuming they’re open-minded enough to see the facts:
