“You shouldn’t be in the totalitarianism business if you can’t exploit ready-made reservoir of credulity and servility." Observed Christopher Hitchens. Hitchens was speaking about Stalin highly religious and therefore credulous, population on who Stalin imposed his will on, but the analogy is apt. Evangelicals believe in virgins giving birth, talking snakes, and all manner of obvious falsehoods The religious mind is primed to accept lies. Presented with extraordinary claim it does not demand extraordinary evidence, but instead engages faith to overcome skepticism. Their religion has taught evangelicals to accept rather than question. Trump’s constant waterfall of out-right lies landed on amendable minds. His support was greatest among regular church goers than among lukewarm believers. The greater the faith the more subordinate healthy skepticism becomes. So, the biblical fetish for totalitarians elect its first.”

From the book “The Founding Myth”

That is the best explanation I have heard to explain how the religious community decided to support a known criminal and a rapist. It wasn’t his character that interested them it was his aspirations to be the first American dictator. Their religion is organized as a dictatorship. They are used to that type of government. If an election was held tomorrow nearly 50% of Americans would vote for a Trump dictatorship and to abolish the constitution. Tell me again that religion is not dangerous to our way of life. It creates a pool of unthinking slaves

Many people argue that there is no limit on free speech, but Trump is about to find out where that limit is. Fox News has already found out where that limit is to the tune of over $700 million mow Trump will find out. Trump made up the story of the pets being eaten by Haitian immigrants. Now Trump is being sued for defamation by the immigrants. JD Vance has admitted to making the story up to spotlight the immigration problem in America. There is a word for that JD it is called slander. JD If you want to spotlight the problems with immigration you might be careful to tell the truth.

Trump believes that illegal immigration is a winning issue for him so they decided to start making up lies. That is the only way Trump wins is by lying his ass off. Since there will be many victims of Trump’s lies it should be nothing that a couple of billion of Trump’s dollars won’t fix. How Trump gets by with ranting against immigration when his businesses are staffed with immigrants I don’t understand. It is a well-known fact that even Trump’s personal maid at New Jersey golf course was an immigrant. She was told to get a better fake ID. Why the mainstream news media does not spotlight Trump’s use of immigrants I don’t understand. If you are against immigrants why hire them for your businesses. Could it be they work for less than Americans.

Why do we allow illegal aliens into to United States? We have employers like Trump who want cheap labor. The cheaper the labor the more profit the employer makes. The US government allows employers to import employees from other countries if they can show that no Americans are available to do those jobs. What is accepted as proof that no American will take the job is if the job is advertised and no one responds to the ad. Employers like Trump get around this requirement by advertising in an obscure web site and require that any applicant must respond by fax machine. Most perspective employees don’t have fax machines.

Trump than goes to US government and say I can’t find any Americans willing to take the job. The government than grants Trump a number of temporary visa foreign employees. I wonder how many of Trump’s alien employees are eating people’s pets around Mar-a-Lago or his golf course in New Jersey. Trump use of employees from deep in South America should become the number one story in America. Some of Trump’s foreign employees may be on temporary work permits but others like his personal made were flat out illegals at least according to the New York times. You can’t be serious about getting rid of illegal aliens when they are making your bed every day.

The high paid democratic consults running the democratic campaigns completely ignored the fact that Trump uses foreign labor to staff his many businesses. You can talk about employment and interest rates. You can talk about what the future will be, but you need to bring it down to the brass tacks and nails for the workingman. It has to be tangible something that is a gut issue. Trump used the illegal alien issue to ride to victory. Workingmen understood that illegal aliens were taking jobs that once belonged to Americans, but Trump should never have been allowed to own that issue because he was doing the exact same thing other rich employers were doing, Trump depended on foreign labor.

I had a union employee ask me could management get away with this or get away with that. I told him absolutely, as long as no one is willing to stand up against them. Trump got away with this because the democrats stood by and said nothing. If the workingman knew Trump was defrauding the American government by making sure he can’t find any Americans to work his businesses they would vote against him. Trump is doing the exact same thing he accuses others of doing.

We had a democratic mayor that screwed us over. We did not see a pay raise for 8 years he was in office. He handed out large raises to city hall department heads. When we asked about it, he told us, “They have a standard of living to maintain.” He had been a state senator and planned to be governor. He had the labor endorsement his entire political career. I decided to hit him where it would hurt worse. When the district labor council held a meeting to decide who would get the endorsement. I pointed out this labor candidate crossed a picket line when the new stadium was built. Even the governor refused to cross it. It was a gut issue; you did not cross a picket in WV. It was a gut issue, and everyone understood that. The mayor finished his term and was never elected to another political office. Keep it simple stupid.

One of the first things a conman does is convince his victims that he cares about them. We of course know that is not true or he would not be out to swindle them. Trump like all good conman has convinced the American people he cares about them. Trump like other conmen cares only about himself. Trump uses people like toilet paper you need only to look at several people in his administration General John Kelly and Jeff Sessions top a long list of Trump throwaways. Many Americans actually believe Trump cares about them. Many people believe Trump gave them a tax cut. But a good portion of the American people got no tax cut at all. Those in first bracket paid 10% before Trump’s tax cut and paid the same 10% afterwards. Trump actually considered upping the tax to 12% and telling them they got a tax cut. This included those making up to $60,000 after the standard deduction was taken into account. Those with several children actually paid more under the Trump tax cut.

We have to break the illusion that Trump cares, he does not care about anyone but himself. I had a woman from a neighboring state call me about a conman who had taken her four times. I had delt with him before. Her question was, did I think he would take her again if she dealt with him again? I told her she could count on being ripped off again. She still believed he cared about her. Trump’s tax rip off should convince people that he does not care. The next Trump tax for millions of Americans will be a 2% increase and Trump will be standing there saying who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? A 2% cut is actually a tax cut

The reason Trump made up the story about the Haitians in Springfield Ohio had nothing to do with the Haitians it was to focus the news media attention on illegal aliens. You can talk all you want about your policies, but it does not motivate people to vote. What bring people out to polls is fear. If you are afraid of losing what you have you will vote in order to keep it. The boogieman might not be real but if you think he is it makes little difference.

Trump picked immigration as his number one issue when he started running for president. Trump and his great wall. Why is Trump not mentioning his great wall anymore? It was going to be paid for by Mexico. It was a huge waste of money and a failure. It took just 12 seconds to go over his great wall. Mexicans took children over the wall and dropped them on the other side. Surely all the billions Trump spent on the wall at least should have slowed illegal immigration down. It did not illegal immigration got worse after the construction of Great Wall of Trump. Now Trump needs to distract from his own record on immigration. A lie about cute puppies and kittens being eaten by legal aliens should distract people from remember what a mess Trump actually made of illegal immigration.

I have always felt that most of the damage done to America by Trump will not be done by Trump himself but by those people he endorses. Trump openly endorses some real nut cases and many other nuts are carried into office by his coattails. Trump’s latest endorsement Mark Robertson has gone on record saying he is a Black Nazi and that he wants to bring slavery back. In fact, he said that he would like to own five or six slaves himself. I don’t think he understood how slavery worked. Slaves were owned by white slave owners and blacks were considered only 4/5 of a human being. Trump called him a Martin Luther King on steroids. I bet Martin Luther King turned over in his grave.

Trump is now trying to distance himself Robertson. While Trump was campaigning in Nort Carolina he did not invite Robertson to his rally and made no mention of his name or the fact he endorsed him for governor. If this was a single case you might write it off but Trump endorses this type of candidate all over America. Elections have consequences and so do endorsements.

It was only a matter of time before Trump completely lost it. According to experts Trump’s prefrontal dementia is fast moving and will end in an early death. In an interview that aired on the Sinclar network, that includes, local, Fox stations, NBC, ABC, and CBS stations. Trump was described as “incoherent” during the interview. Trump was asked, the specifics on how he would cut prices. His answer had absolutely nothing to do with cutting prices. He meandered through about every other subject but what he was asked about.

To start with prices don’t go down they are interlocked with prices of other prices. In the 70s the government froze prices, but it did not work. Gasoline prices go up and down with supply and demand, but it is still much higher than the .32 cents a gallon that it cost when I started driving. Trump answer started with say Kamala Harris could not do this interview. Next Trump attacked Obama and George Bush. He said, “Harris is not equipped to deal with President Xi, who I was very, I took in hundreds of billions of dollars with him and Putin.” The billions of dollars Trump took in from China was in tariffs and those billions in tariffs were paid by the American people in higher prices for the Chinese goods. Trump is so stupid he could understand who actually pays the tariffs. When Trump puts a tariff on you pay another $50 on a television set made in China. Trump actually raised prices when he was in office.

I thought I knew about all the crazy stunts team Trump pulled after the election, but I only knew what was going on at the surface. They were a lot crazier than I could have ever imagined. Instead of the bible, Jonathan Karl book, “Betrayal: The Final Act of The Trump Show” should be required reading in school.

It taught me about a section of the Constitution I did not know existed. When the country was first formed piracy was a big problem and the government could hire private pirates to steal the goods back. They were officially authorized by government. One of the Trump lawyers requested to be authorized by the government to go into Germany seize some of their servers. This process is called a letter of Marque. Sidney Powell was requesting the letter of Marque one can only hope she would be issued an official eye patch and a peg leg. Crazy Sidney believed that the votes in our election were counted in Germany, and she intended to prove it. She also tried to get the military to arrest the CIA Director who she believed was covering it up. The company she was after had no servers in Germany.

The mental institutions should have posted a bounty for her she was dangerous. It shows you the quality of people Trump put in charge. Then there was Italy gate where Italian satellites were supposedly used to zap the voting machines in America.

The price of lying, many of those on the right believe that freedom of speech gives them the right to tell any lie they want to about anybody, but the legal system is striking back. Fox News pushed the Trump campaign lies and paid over $700 million in damages. Lies are like bullets they can do damage. Giuliani was successfully sued for a $148 million for making lies up about election workers ion Georgia. Alex Jones, Infowars, was sued for claiming the Sandy Hook massacre was staged by crisis actors. Jones property is now being actioned off to pay the $1.5 billion judgement against him.

Those cases should give the right some pause when it comes to lying but fools rush in where wisemen fear to tread and in rushed Trump and Vance they are now being sued by the Haitians. Trump and Vance knew the story they were telling was a lie but they continued to double down on it. They were putting people's lives in danger, and they knew it. The law in Ohio allows for not only civil charges but also criminal charges to be bought against them. Trump thinks he is above the law but he has already lost millions in court to a civil verdict. When will they learn, when will they ever learn.

Trump looks like he is going to skate again. Trump has appealed his $478 million fraud judgement. It was obvious from the start of the argument that the appeals court justices are on team Trump. When the prosecution started to make their case, she was interrupted by one of the appeals court judges trying to make Trump’s case saying that the prosecutor had overstepped her authority by enforcing the law against Trump. How dare the prosecutor enforce the law against Trump.

I know how the prosecutor must feel, I have convicted people in court who received no punishment. You learn there are personal relationships that supersede the law. The judges proceeded to make all of the arguments that Trump’s attorneys made including since no one was hurt this time there is no crime. The next time I take my 370Z down the instate at 155 MPH I will tell the cop that stopped me there was no crime nobody was hurt and that is the new standard of law enforcement in America, someone must be hurt or there is no violation of the law. Drunken drivers will love that new standard. Trump during his 8 bankruptcies had almost bankrupted 3 of the biggest banks in America.

It very clear that the judges believe that law should never be enforced against Trump. The judges said that they should not be able to use a statue “to upset a private business transaction that was between equally sophisticated partners.” So, if they discover that Trump has paid $10,000 to have his wife killed you can’t do anything about it because she hasn’t been killed yet. The victim here would not be the banks it would be the American people who would have to bail the banks out. It has happened before, and it will happen again as long as there are conmen like Trump and judges who refuse to enforce laws meant to protect the American people.

Rosan Barr has went completely off the deep end. Now she insists that the people who are opposing Trump are vampires. I always knew that we had nuts, but the difference is some talk show host will actually give them airtime to inspire other nuts. The problem is not that Rosane would say such a thing the problem is that other people believe it. After her interview I am sure the sale of wooden stakes and crucifixes has soared.

“I AM NOT CRAZY!” Rosanne screams They are drinking blood and eating human Flesh, at Tucker Carlson event”

That is the title of the article on the internet. The first clue is that if you feel if you have to preface your remarks with, “I am not crazy,” chances are you really are crazy. In years past people like that would be interviewed for comedy to make fun of them now, they are political weapons used to influence the base. I have no doubt at all that these people are being used by the Trump campaign officials. QAnon was no doubt an invention of the Trump campaign in 2020 election. Trump is a born liar and trying to lie his way into office.

My sister-in-law is eat-up with Trump and the Trump campaign lies. The latest was that the democrats had a party with Oprah Winfrey where they boiled three babies and ate them, and she believes every word of it. She gets so angry that my wife won’t vote for Trump. Don’t believe these are just nuts these are deliberate lies that originate from the Trump campaign. They are designer lies and they are dangerous.

Rosanne also doubled down on the Haitian rumor saying, “it is not just dogs and cats the Haitians are eating.” Before Trump this did not happen in political campaigns this is a Trump product, and it is dangerous.

QAnon starts in 2017 during Trump’s first term in office. Q claims to have top secret government security clearance. Many attempts have been made to uncover who Q was but there were some suspects, but no one was conclusively proved to be Q. From the conspiracy theories being spread one theory was that Q was several different people not one individual. If Q was a political operative, it is likely that it was a political operation run by political operatives. Just as Fox News, which was founded by political operatives, they seem to target democrats and have definitive political agenda.

When you look at Trump and Vance’s lies about the Haitians, the similarities about Q’s lies about Pizza gate lies are unmistakable.
It was Clinton and other democrats molesting children and drinking their blood to stay young. The Haitians were kidnapping and eating pets, later expanded to eating people by Roseann. These were the exact lies over the centuries that led to the holocaust. The Jews were always said to kill and eat babies. We are better people now or most of us are.

My former secretary was one of the nicest people I ever knew but when Trump came along, she was infected by the Trump virus in church. They had a speaker come to the church that informed them that Biden was a child molester. His evidence was how far children stood away from Biden an insider who could not be named. But she believed it. Biden was a possible target, and I would not want my child standing next to him either. Later I came across the account of Trump and his campaign manager deciding to target Biden as a child molester. The conversation was conducted in the oval office. Hillary Clinton labeled as a child molester, Biden labeled as a child molester, by the same people for political motives. A liar has no limits he can and does make all kind of lies up.

Trump’s lies keep getting wilder and wilder, Trump recently claimed he had a great “Beach Body.” Trump’s suits hide a lot of fat. If you have seen Trump in his golfing shorts you would know he has a gut the size of a small Volkswagon. His followers will believe every word of it, after all who are they going to believe Trump or their lying eyes?

Now Trump wants to turn the police lose in a “Purge” where the police would free to beat and kill without question. Crime statistics are going down but Trump insist crime is getting worse. Letting the police kill anybody without question sounds like a dictator. A dictator needs a gestopo to stay in power and Trump wants to establish one in America. Having a police force that is authorized to kill without penalty sounds like a super crime fighting squad, but it would soon get out of control and become a political tool.

Twitter now known as X has lost 78.7% of its value since Elon Musk bought it. It went from $44 billion when he purchased it to just $10 billion now. Musk had planned to make Twitter a right wing paradice for right wing lies. Musk believed he was so smart that he could control politics from his seat atop of Twitter. One of the prime things he wanted to do was restore Trump’s account on X. Mush restored Trump’s account but Trump had already started his own social media company and he exclusive posted on it. That was X biggest account.

Musk should stick with electric cars and rockets something he understands. This may come down to one of the biggest bankruptcies in history. Musk really believes that they should do away with the constitution and replace with “high T individuals” like him. Low T males would be able to make suggestions in groups but would have no access to government power. Musk could be extremely dangerous to America he was originally not an American citizen.

Trump is crying that the evidence of his crimes is being released a month before the election, but it is Trump’s attorneys who have done everything in their power to delay this case including appeals to the supreme court. Trump can’t complain because it was his attorneys who delayed the case. On top of that the information was not released by the justice department it was the sitting judge on the case who released the information and judge is under no such obligation to keep the information secret.

Why should Trump be concerned that information about his crimes being released? Trump insists that he has committed no crimes it should be easy for Trump to disprove any false information. Most of the information about Trump’s crimes has been public knowledge for the last four years. The whole world watched live Trump's inserection, they listened to his phone call to the Georgia election official to “try and find 13,000 votes” to rig the election. This is an ongoing case, and the charges are not new not new charges suddenly found 30 days before the election. Trump cheered the Justice Department when they announced the investigation of Hillary Clinton at the last minute in 2016. Trump can’t have it both ways, what goes around comes around.

Another Trump solider was convicted for her crimes. Tina Peters was sentenced to 8 1/2 years in jail for giving Pillow Head access to the voting machines in Arizona. Peters told the judge that she has to sleep on a magnetic mattress and because of previous injuries and should not be sentenced to jail time. The judge had no sympathy for someone who violates the law. Many of the Trump supporters are now in prison.

I have not heard any more about the members of the Trump administration who followed Trump’s orders to vote twice for him. One was his chief of staff who voted in two states. After this was initially reported nothing more was forthcoming. If this had been illegal voting they would have gotten 9 years jail time. They had one woman who voted by clamming to be an American she got 9 years. Did Trump pardon them before he left office or was in quietly ignored by republican officials? Trump made much of dead people voting but it is an extremely small fraction. One case Trump was carrying on about was a woman who died after receiving an absentee ballot but died before the election. Her husband voted her ballot like she wanted. He voted for Trump. If Hillary Clinton had voted twice Trump would demand she be put in jail but Trump said not one word about his chief of staff voting in two different states.

The republicans have long denied that global warming is real but little by little the many republicans are now no longer use junk science to deny it is real. Big oil and big coal have hired scientists who would say what they wanted to hear. Republicans took a position on global warming that would please their big political donors. Now FEMA is underfunded for reason. This hurricane was the worst since Katrina. Hurricanes usually do the most severe damage and deaths near the coast but this hurricane killed the most people in the inland mountains. Most people killed in hurricane die from the storm surge.

People who live in the mountains feel safe from hurricanes they look to the mountains protect them from the winds but in this case, it was the rains that caused the massive damage. One woman on the news said, she could not understand how this happened “how this could happen in the mountains.” I ran a race down in the coal fields. I had never been down there, and I could easily see why it flooded. The homes were all built at the foot of mountains. When all the rain ran down the huge mountains flooding was inevitable. Global warming makes bigger hurricanes that contain more moisture. FEMA budget will need to be increased and increased some again because of global warming. The republicans continually want to cut FEMA budget until if their state has a disaster than they want all the money they can get for their state. The republicans always want to cut FEMA budget to give bigger and bigger tax cuts for the ungodly greedy.

And don't overlook the fact that the Republicans cut the housing industry a good deal when they refused to pass legislation which would have required stricter standards for homes constructed on mountainsides.

@hightor,
The republicans are always for big business. The first thing a republican administration does after they take power is appoint the most anti-labor person they can find to head the labor department. Cases filed by labor plaintive are almost all turned down during republican administrations. The republicans are anti-labor, and they would eliminate labor unions in a minute if they could. This was understood when I was younger but now the most anti-labor party is elected by the very people they abuse. How is this possible? Single issue voters turned the tide, guns and abortion along with Fox News convinced workingmen that republicans had their best interest at heart when nothing can be further from the truth.
