Except, I'm not a liberal. Do I lean left? Sure. Sometimes I'm afraid of tipping over. But I like to think of myself as unbiased, and I call them like I see them.
It's just unfortunate that Donald Trump is so awful, a blind man could see him in a pumpkin patch. Cause he's orange, get it?
It would be easy to make fun of Trump's comical appearance or how "unpresidential" he carries himself. He doesn't speak very well, despite how much he likes to hear himself talk. He's the presidential equivalent of a Toby Keith song, or a Nascar race - he plays to the most red blooded Americans who pride themselves on God and country and get uncomfortable when their white supremacy is challenged by a progressing nation.
To those people he is certainly an amazing president. He promised the world to a section of this country that felt ignored for too long by President Obama and his championing of gay, transgender, and minority rights.
But now that we're over a hundred days into his presidency, what has he actually done for them? Or for you? Or for anybody?
Why are you still championing the cause of a president more concerned with being buddies with leaders of our enemies than taking care of his people?
This is a man who just fired the FBI director that was looking into his ties to Russia. The same Russia that hacked the DNC and helped get him elected, despite John McCain's statement on Morning Joe today that there "is no evidence it worked." The same Russia that Donald Trump told secret intel to in a closed doors meeting with two of their top foreign operatives, one of which is a reported spy for the Russian government. That meeting, by the way, DID include Russian photographers, who made sure to snap plenty of pictures of the happy trio. The very same Russia that compromised former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was a standout star at the Republican convention when he lead the room in chants of "lock her up," you know, back when Hilary Clinton was the victim of the witch hunt that Donald Trump now cries about. The very same Russia that Attorney General Jeff Sessions recused himself of investigating due to his own ties to the country that came out in one of Trump's early scandals.
And man, take a second to think of how many scandals the Trump administration has had since he took office. And here I thought the "grab her by the pussy" comment would be the last I ever heard about this awful human being. Apparently, desperate Republicans have a really high tolerance level.
Despite all of the evidence, or at the very least possibility, there are a lot of people who see the smoke bellowing out of the USA's windows and assume everything is okay. Republicans are like that dog in the house on fire and they keep telling themselves "this is fine."And yes, I admit that a lot of what is being thrown around about Trump is circumstantial right now. But those are the key words - right now. Every day we find out more about how this administration is just one giant house on fire, and sooner or later that adorable little dog in the hat is going to be a charred corpse wrapped in the flag of the United States.
Why were so many so quick to demand Hilary Clinton be locked up for accusations that ultimately proved to be completely false, and yet defend Donald Trump in the face of overwhelming levels of "HMMMM YOU DON'T SAY?"
And if you thought Trump's ties to Russia were the worst of it, you've obviously been so distracted by that scandal that you've missed all of the other ones. Trump has said he'd love to meet North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un. He's praised and invited Philippines president Rodrigo Duterte to the White House. Duterte is a thug who has called former President Obama the "son of a whore" and told him to "go to hell," among other colorful things.
And then there is Turkey. Yes, the same Turkey that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn is on the payroll of. The same Michael Flynn that both former Attorney General Sally Yates and former President Barack Obama warned Trump about, but who he hired anyway and then fired for the very same reasons he was warned.
President Trump invited the president of Turkey, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to discuss things of great importance, possibly including secret intel, we at BZ85 cannot confirm nor deny that.
You've probably seen how that meeting ended already, because it was all over the news.
Actually, it wasn't. What took place after that meeting has gotten shockingly little coverage compared to the smoke coming from the Trump-Russia story, and this one has actually been proven because the whole thing was caught on camera!
What first appeared to be a riot broke out among peaceful protesters and some of the hired goons of Erdogan. But, even more shocking, is new footage that has led some to believe Erdogan himself may have ordered the violence against the protesters, as the NY Times has documented here.
Eleven people were injured, including a police officer. Turkey claims that their people were met with hostility and they only responded in kind, but the evidence does not back that up. And even though lawmakers like John McCain have condemned the violence and called for punishment, or at the very least an apology, I can tell you who we haven't heard from about this.
Donald Trump.
United States President Donald Trump.
Where is Trump to defend his people against foreign violence? How can he spend all of his time on Twitter trying to draw sympathy for the hole he himself dug, and not have time to directly speak to the nation about this act of foreign violence on American soil? Why does Donald Trump seem to have the best interests of foreign entities at heart and not the people of the United States of America, almost half of which voted him into office?
Who does Donald Trump really work for?
