We Are Asking the Wrong Question …

This morning, an email landed in my in-box with another unintelligent rant from Michael Moore. During his way-too-long knee jerk reaction to a 90 minute anything-but-a-debate that took place on CNN on June 27, 2024, Moore said, about halfway through, “I’m not a doctor. I could be (and hopefully am) wrong about all this. But I do have eyes. They don’t lie.”

Michael Moore, you were wrong, our eyes are deceived all the time by not showing us accurately what we are seeing. Often there is a disconnect between what we think we see, our brain, and our memories can even revise what we thought we saw.  Have you read The Man Who Mistook His Wife for a Hat, by Oliver Sacks? and/or Why eyewitnesses fail.

During Moore’s rant about what he saw, there was one name he never mentioned, Donald Trump (if the traitor’s name was there, I didn’t see it after reading the piece once and scanning it three times), who didn’t answer any of the moderator’s questions and repeated all of his fascist lies that have been repeated so many times in the last few years, I doubt anyone has been able to keep count.

After all, Traitor Trump learned from a master: Adolf Hitler and his Nazi Party about repeating big lies.  “Repeat a lie often enough and it becomes the truth”, is a law of propaganda often attributed to the Nazi Joseph Goebbels.

I didn’t watch the original live debate, that wasn’t a debate. It takes two or more people to have a debate and the only person on that stage struggling to debate was President Biden. Traitor Trump repeated his campaign slogans that are all lies and have always been lies going back to the day he came down that escalator in Trump Tower on June 16, 2015.

After the debate, I started reading the reactions and summaries about the CNN disaster that didn’t challenge Traitor Trump’s lies.

As for me, it took an effort to set aside all the panic and criticisms I was hearing and reading about President Biden and wait a few days to learn more and come to a conclusion.  I’ve learned through the decades, I turn 79 in August, that it helps to wait before reacting to something unless it’s a life and death situation like when I was a US Marine in Vietnam being shot at. We don’t have time to think then.

Moore said more shit like, “He’s 81! What do you expect? You’ll be 81 someday!”

Well, Michael Moore, I’m much closer to 81 than you are and I don’t agree with your mindless knee jerk rant.

Then on June 29, I watched this video. That is the day after the debate that wasn’t a debate, and I didn’t see the same Biden from the day before.  By then, I’d seen the worst of Biden’s performance on the 28th

Before writing this post, I also watched an unedited ProPublica interview with Joe Biden from September 2023, nine days before his interview with conservative Republican Special Counsel Robert K. Hur, who had worked in Traitor Trump’s administration before he was appointed to oversee the DOJ’s investigation into classified documents found at Biden’s Delaware home. That was no different than hiring a hungry wolf to guard a flock of sheep.

After watching the June 29th video, I wrote a poem comparing two men, although I have problems thinking one of the two is human. I’ll leave it up to anyone that reads this blog post who I think that one is.

NO NAMES

Two men close in age

One accused of crimes with no evidence

The other

Twice impeached

Guilty of rape

Guilty of fraud

A convicted felon

Two men close in age

One honorably served the people for 54 years

The other

Cheated his workers

Cheated his Secret Service agents

Cheated university students

Cheated his wives

Cheats at golf

Doesn’t always pay his bills

Two men close in age

One never accused of rape

The other

Found guilty of rape once

And 18 women have accused him

Of sexual harassment or sexual assault

One alleged victim was 13

Brags he grabs them by the pussy

Two men close in age

One stands strong with other democracies

The other

Says he fell in love with

North Korea’s Kim Jong Un,

who wants to nuke the United States,

And calls Putin a genius

For starting a brutal war

With a smaller country

Two men close in age

One practices a healthy lifestyle

Also shows off his latest reading

The other

Three years younger, is ten years older

Eating McDonald’s and meatloaf

Drinking 12 brain damaging Diet Cokes daily

Thinking exercise is bad

Has a lethal aversion to reading

Two men close in age

One sometimes gets his facts wrong

And broke 3 of his campaign promises

The other

Does not care about facts

Lying more than 30,000 times in four years

Breaking 55 of his campaign promises

Ranked the worst president ever

*****

Here are America’s Worst Presidents. Traitor Trump was ranked the #3 worst president by the 2022, Siena College’s Presidential Expert Poll, #4 by the 2021 C-Span Presidential Historians survey, and #1 by the 2024, Presidential Greatness Survey.

I also suspect Traitor Trump is allegedly responsible for Biden’s performance on June 28, 2024.  It’s not impossible.

Here’s a link to the post I wrote about that.  Did Donald Trump Sabotage the Atlanta Debate?

    The choice in the is election is not between two men it between democracy and autocracy. Choose wisely because once the choice is made there is not going back. That’s what America must understand. We will never get through to Trump’s base of ignorant and full of hate voters, they don’t listen to facts or reason. They are out for revenge for the loss of the promise of prosperity that did not become reality for them. They don’t understand this was the Republican agenda started by Regan with his trickle down economics and union busting that caused their demise. They will never understand it because they have already been brainwashed to believe it’s people even less fortunate than they that caused their downfall. They don’t understand that it’s the corporations that get a free pass on paying taxes and paying workers a living wage, the big pharmaceutical companies and hospitals that charge exorbitant rates for life saving and sustaining medical treatments so they can pay their wealthy shareholders bigger and bigger dividends every year at the expense of the middle class and working poor, are the ones to blame. They have been dumbed down too much to even open their minds to the reality of who and what is actually causing their pain. Those of us who can see the evil from the good, have to step up, we have to fight to save our democratic way of life because if this election is lost to Trump, it’s over. The media is to blame as well. Instead of running editorials on Trump dropping out of the race after being charged with over 30 felony counts of corruption, after being found guilty of sexual assault, after eye witnessing him encouraging and commanding an insurrection on Jan 6th, after his impeachment for blackmailing the president of Ukraine, after his refusal to return top secret documents he stole after he left office and to have the FBI raid his home to retrieve them, etc etc, I don’t recall one editorial calling for him to step down from running for reelection. But Joe Biden has one bad night during a debate and he is unfit for office and every paper is writing editorials calling for him to step down? What kind of upside down are we living in? This has got to stop.

      Agreed. If Traitor Trump isn’t stopped, the odds of a real Civil War, not a small violent mob trying to overthrow the government for the traitor on January 6, 2021, the country will shatter and the states will be waging war, not an insurrection, with each other. I don’t think the military leadership and the blue states are going to let the traitor become the dictator he wants to be. They will fight. instead of thousand, there will be millions of people fighting and I’m not talking fists or a loner with his AR15. Millions will hit the streets armed to the teeth.

      Molotov cocktails, hand to hand combat with sharp edged weapons. The US has more firearms owned by private citizens than any other country on the planet.

      Putin’s dream come true. Second best to a Trump dictatorship is to tear the United States apart in a civil war. In every state there are voters who voted against Traitor Trump. And they are the majority of voters. He lost the popular vote to Hillary by almost 3,000,000 and lost the Electoral College and the popular vote to Biden by 8,000,000. Traitor Trump has only been popular with less than half of the population, closer to a third.
