Operation Epic LOOK — SQUIRREL! is cranking up!

As the United States moves to toward the midterms elections, things are going not so good to terrible for Trump. Trump has tried distraction after distraction. Despite that, people remember that he promised no new wars and started another war.
We the People noticed, too, that Trump promised to lower prices right away but hasn’t. We the People didn’t forget that Trump said he’d release the Epstein files and has done everything possible since then to change that channel.
Trump has always gone after the press. With pressure mounting, his popularity plummeting, and criticism growing — and not going away — he’s trying desperately to keep people from telling the facts about his terrible presidency, his authoritarian methods, and horrid economic policies.
Naturally, in response Trump did the one thing he still does well: he put out a whining rant filed with lies, misinformation, and innuendoes, trying to plead, “NATIONAL SECURITY!”
It no longer works because he’s cried national security so many times, We the People are on to his scam.

I caught one of the Trump ads which We the People paid for while watching a football game last night. This BS showed Trump walking toward a camera with a sour face as one of his speeches about getting rid of commies played.
My honest reaction went from WTF to screw you asshole in .4 seconds.
What unmitigated crap. With all that he’s done to this country, Trump comes on squealing about saving us from the commies like some right-wing 1950s propaganda.
After hearing viewing that commercial, I began reading “The Premonition” by Michael Lewis. He wrote about the nation’s terrible response to the COVID-19 pandemic under Trump, then added a Bill Parcells quote which fit.
Bill Parcells was an NFL coach. Won a few championships and helmed multiple competitive teams. Parcells said, “You are what your record says you are.”
And there it is, the perfect rebuttal to Trump, the GOP, and MAGA: you are what your records says you are.
In this case, the United States has entered another foreign war which Trump needlessly started.
Measles outbreaks and bankruptcies are increasing, the national debt is climbing, climbing, climbing, farmers and ranchers are doing terribly, energy prices are going up up up, and Trump can do nothing but bully, whine, plead — or try to bribe people into ‘voting for him’.
Because as Trump said, vote like he is on the ballot.
Because Trump is on the ballot.
And the record shows just what you are Trump.
No matter how hard you whine, cry, bluster, and bully, the record shows us who.
You.
Are.
Trump.

EXELLENT POST!!! 👏👏👏

Excellent post, Michael. You have said so much that is true about Trump, the Republican Party, the “elected” people who are trying so hard to end democracy, and the most important group of all–the group of wealthy billionaires who are funding the whole damn thing.
But, yet, you are still barely scratching the surface of the tip of the iceburg. What we see, what you see, does not get into what goes on inside the back rooms of The White House, or the Kremlin– any place where billonaires and conservative politicians hide to think of more ways yet to make life better for them but worse for everyone else. These people support not only American oligharchy, but every other bastion of the far right wing political movment in this world that is destroying our lives.
Keep on writing, Michael, please. The doors and windows all need to be opened and exposed to the light of our scrutiny.

I sure hope people vote like Trump is on the ballot. Not only has he done a very poorly ranked job as incumbent president, but he has politicked for Trump loyalists over more rational Republicans. Because of Trump, a more rational Republican Texas Senator John Cornyn lost Republican primary to Ken Paxton whose bribery and malfeasance led to a 6 to 1 impeachment vote in the Texas House. The Texas Senate acquitted him in homage to Trump, but there is not a enough perfume for this pig. His opponent is an excellent candidate in my view as an Independent, James Talarico. Keith
