via Carl Bernstein: Trump preparing to call midterm elections ‘illegitimate’ if Democrats take power

SO, trump won’t recognize a legitimate election result that doesn’t please him. I would expect that from an illegitimate “President” who got where he was via the Electoral College, massive amounts of corporate campaign spending, and Russian interference in our election systems. All this, and the “patriotic” republicans are okay with this.

Well, if trump tries to interfere with our democratic rights, let’s STAND UP to him. He’s a bully, and bullies wilt in the face of strong opposition. Game ON, donnie dumbass!

via ‘Tough’ guy Donald Trump: The only guys who glorify violence are the ones who never took a punch

Trump is a little spoiled rich punk who glorifies violence, and talks all bad-ass, but his whole life is a reality show, with nothing to do with the real world. What does it do for democracy, when our “President”  constantly makes goo-goo eyes at “strong men” like Putin, Kim Jong Un, and MBS? It’s like, “They can do whatever they want, so why can’t I?”, and he doesn’t pay any attention to laws or the Constitution.

via How Sears Was Gutted By Its Own CEO

This is capitalism in the 21st Century. Don’t let them kid you about “we give tax breaks to corporations, they’ll invest in new equipment and hire more people, and that will stimulate the economy.” Lampert, a disciple of Ayn Rand, burdened Sears with debt-to his company-and sold off portions of this iconic store chain (I remember the Sears catalog as a kid) , its labels Die-Hard, Kenmore, Craftsman tools-all gone now; and Lampert also sells Sears stores, putting people out of work, lining his already billion-dollar pockets.Capitalism is too serious a business to be left to the capitalists. Remember this, along with the trillion-dollar tax cuts the Republican leadership rammed through CONgress last year.
