OPEN LETTER TO DONNIE DRUMPF

Those who live by and follow the rules
Are foolish, naïve and simply called fools
But if you can cheat and lie through your teeth
The masses all power to you will bequeath.

And once you’re in office all policies change
Your agenda and schedule you rearrange
Then laugh at the idiots who voted you in
And remember to lie again next time to win

But when you are found out as evil and phony
Claim that the media feeds us baloney
You cheat and you steal to gain personal worth
You’re really no better than scum of the Earth!

MAJORITY RULE IS A JOKE

Hey did you hear the one about Majority Rule in America?
No?
Okay but before I explain it I wonder if you’ve ever seen this bridge I have for sale.
Two things we Americans were proud about have gone the way of the dodo.
We used to be considered and even hated as the greatest most intelligent country in the world.
And as “W” loved to say about terrorists, “They hate us for our freedom.”
Well mark November 8, 2016 as the date we showed the World how wrong they all were!  We lost the title of most intelligent nation with the election of the worst and least qualified President in the history of this nation!
As for the freedom we thought we had that will start eroding in Three – Two – …

But what about the majority rule we used to point to?
Well for one thing the Republican Party started dismantling that with their long range gerrymandering plan, an insidious way to block a majority of voters in any one region from gaining control over their government and therefore their lives.
The following are but a few examples of our lost innocence and our equally lost rights.

Congress:
The Senate consists of 100 people so it’s simple, if 51 Senators vote one way it’s done, right?
Don’t be naïve; you need to get 60 votes for a majority.  Math teachers across the country should be scratching their heads and my old one is spinning in her grave!
And the minority can even block a majority without doing anything.  Just the threat of a filibuster or saying one will start a filibuster is enough to bust up any possible progress.
Of course with the soon to be new Congress any filibuster performed by the meek Democratic Senators, the ones on the left of the aisle without any balls, will be to stop the reversal of progress made during the last 5 decades.

The Popular Vote:
If a majority of people in America vote for one candidate that person wins right?
Naïve again! This popular belief has been proven wrong again.  You can win an election by over 600,000 votes and still lose the Presidency in America due to an arcane useless and annoying old stupid system called the Electoral College.  Sadly the name belies the fact.  The anti-popular vote counter is not a college. In fact I doubt it would qualify as kindergarten! There is no intelligence in using this old measure and it is way past time to abolish it!  Republicans of course would never allow this to happen so unless Americans wake up and suddenly start reading and learning we are stuck with the Electoral Pre School forever.

Money Trumps All:
Since too many people in America no longer have the time or sadly the intelligence to read and actually understand half the issues a well placed and highly funded advertisement campaign can fool all of them.  The ads are glitzy and may even contain a celebrity or two.  They are repeated over and over and over as if by some ‘black site’ torture specialist until the viewer (they don’t read anymore) has no concept of what is true and what is incredibly not. The under educated masses then follow blindly what they’ve been told is fact.
So in a way this is the only time majority rules – Money spent.

Evil Beats Nice:
Tap into hate and fear like Hitler and you too can be a winner in America today!
It turns out it is easier to shout hate than love. Peace is by definition quiet. Hate is anger filled rage. The decibel level of hate drowns out all other emotions and even though many more people would rather have peace the loud minority, just as a few rotten apples, ruins the entire electorate!

And Finally Tradition:
President Obama was a very good president and also a very good man with an incredibly good family.
The hate that must’ve been festering in the minds of racists across America had no place to go in a peaceful society.  It had to be suppressed in quiet groups of White Supremacists or KKK clans.
But an evil man realized the anger just below the surface of these cretins and he tested the waters with a campaign of distrust about the President’s heritage.
His mean spirited conniving plan to draw out the basest emotions of the lower than scum of the Earth creatures worked and he became legend.
Intelligence said this would never work her and now.
The smartest among us felt that no Hitler like fuehrer could muster enough support to take over in 21st century America.
Once again the majority was wrong.
The idiots of the minority were able to muster enough votes and fool the majority into staying home instead of voting. “Nothing to see here, run along. He can’t win so don’t bother voting and wasting your time. Oh look at that cat video. Aren’t cats so cute?”
And so America is now in the hands of a racist evil child molesting tax evading pussy groping ego maniacal anti Semitic anti minority anti humanity anti climate change dictator loving violence promoting Russia loving turd and his equally evil in every respect vice president who famously thinks evolution is a hoax.  In his case he happens to be right since his intelligence is somewhat beneath that of a chimpanzee!


And so the majority has to sit and wait and pray that they can survive the next few years of the reign of terror we allowed to happen.

Oh, and abut that bridge - Leave me your contact info in the comments.  I'll make you a great deal!

DOUBLE STANDARDS AND FALSE EQUIVALENCIES

Our culture has long accepted double standards as standard operating procedure.
It is pervasive in our humor:
            Man on park bench talking to friend:             “I know a place where for $5 they give you a beer a sandwich and take you in the back to get laid.”
            Friend: “What? For $5 you get a sandwich a beer and get laid?”
            Man: “That’s right, a beer a sandwich and get laid FOR $5!”
            Friend: “So you’ve been there?”
            Man: “No, but my sister goes all the time!”
The double standard is also evident in our general parenting culture.
Consider stories of a father warning his daughter to stay away from aggressive boys at parties or on dates but congratulating his son for ‘getting lucky!’
One wonders with whose daughter the son is having that luck!
And of course the double standard has been in our business world since, well forever!
According to statistics women on average get paid 78% what men do for the same work! 
That appears to be up from previous polls.
So at least we are moving in the correct direction, right?
Wrong!
It is clear that our political world views women as inferior or at least the electorate feels that way.  And that does not bode well for equality.
And if you wish to analyze why the people who voted in the last election felt that a woman could not do the job a man could you don’t have to look too far.
The answer is in front of your face and in nearly every newspaper.
Look at the media!
The man lied every time he opened his mouth but the media never once held his feet to the fire. He was given a pass even when his lies contradicted his previous lies from a few minutes earlier.
But the media pursued and harped on allegations that the woman lied because she had said she was a different person in private than in public.
Really?
Is this earth shattering news?
Who among us are not different in that way?
In fact if you wish to be honest at least with yourself think about how you act with your parents; your children; your best friends; your casual acquaintances; your boss; or your siblings.
Forget the Three Faces of Eve; most of us are more akin to Sybil!
And as for false equivalencies let’s use the father-son-daughter analogy from above let’s look at the two candidates for the highest and most important office in America.
On the one hand we have a man who is alleged to have had sex with several underage girls and does in fact have a court date to discuss this disgusting predatory behavior.  He has also allegedly assaulted, groped and possibly raped many of age women.  He certainly bragged about his prowess in that regard noting that his celebrity afforded him carte blanche when it came to women and their bodies.
And then on the other hand we have a woman who has done none of those reprehensible things but whose husband had fooled around, consensually with other women.
How could these stories be reported with anything like a similarity?
CNN constantly had well respected knowledgeable reporters and analysts who favored the woman paired against the most racist lying team of supporters for the man as if they were equals.
The woman’s side discussed policies and fixes for all our problems in America while the man’s group merely said “Wrong!”
And for every new scandal or absurd utterance or non policy statement made by the man the media also reported their concern over 6 year old emails by the woman.
And when the woman apologized for the very slight error of doing what her predecessor had done with her emails it received very little air time. It remained the single most damning thing she had done in 30 years of public service.
Of course over the same 30 years the man did nothing to promote mankind and in fact harmed humanity with his deliberate frauds.
But through it all the media placed both the man and the woman on equal footing.
This ultimate betrayal of our trust allowed a man with the least qualifications to be anything other than what he is and always will be, a con man to be considered the equal to a woman who far out shined him in every possible important way.
One media company that cannot or should not be allowed to use the word ‘news’ anywhere in its title has stayed the course in their incredibly unfair and biased coverage of the man and the woman.
On Fox and Friends Thursday, November 10 at 8:30 am Elizabeth Hasselbeck, Steve Doocy, and Brian Kilmeade, those pillars of lies, injustice and the un-American way insisted that the Department of Justice under President Trump indict, convict, and imprison Hillary Clinton for her use of a private server.
Equivalency alert!
There is international precedent for governments imprisoning their opposition.
These include Putin’s Russia, Yanukovych’s Ukraine, Maduro’s Venezuela, Military Junta’s Myanmar, Kim Jong-un’s Korea, Khamenei’s Iran, Museveni’s Uganda, Mugabe’s Zimbabwe, Sen’s Cambodia, and Mubarak’s Egypt.
On final equivalency and this one may be the scariest of all.
What is happening here and now in America is eerily equivalent to 1930s Germany.
And so we now must face a future with a disgusting evil racist pig in the White House who has already surrounded himself with a team of even worse disgusting and evil racist pigs.
Shame on all of you who voted for the man because of his gender.
Shame on all of you who voted for candidates that had no chance of winning.
And even more shame for those of you who did not vote at all.  You may not want your freedom but your apathy could very well be the reason the rest of us lose ours!
Is this our new standard?

RIP AMERICA

The world knows how awfully stupid the voters of America were yesterday.
Let's hope we survive this disgusting piece of shit!
As for your rights, you just elected a Supreme Court that will systematically disassemble all of them for the next 3 decades.
And to those of you who helped this know nothing dictator and his whore into office I hope you pay dearly for it!

VOTE! IT'S YOUR RIGHT AS AN AMERICAN!

Our elections are held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November.
But why did we choose Tuesday?
According to people in the know the reason is we do not wish to infringe on anyone's Sabbath & those Sabbath days are generally Saturday & Sunday.
They also felt that Monday might be considered a travel day returning from wherever so Tuesday was the next and best choice.
BUT THIS IS THE 21st CENTURY AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO DO BETTER!
I propose all ALL STATES should have a minimum of 2 extra early voting days and the polls should be open on the Saturday & Sunday before Election Tuesday! 
If Saturday is your Sabbath you may vote on Sunday and vice versa!

Another reason for this easy fix to an unnecessary problem is that many people who would like to vote have jobs and many of them will not get paid for the time they have to wait on line at the polling place to exercise their Constitutionally guaranteed right to vote!
Of course that assumes they can find a polling place since one political party is making it harder and harder for the masses to vote by closing as many of them as they can.
So just as important to the above early voting days suggestion is the plea that we make ELECTION DAY A PAID NATIONAL HOLIDAY!
And while I have my preference as to which Political Party I support in this and every election you will note that I do not care who the people who would benefit by this simple fix vote for!

That's because voting is one of our most important rights and it should be made easier not harder.
Our Democracy should not disenfranchise any citizen PERIOD!!!



IF YOU AGREE PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE AND ASK YOUR CONGRESSMAN OR WOMAN TO HELP GET THIS DONE!

AND OF COURSE VOTE!
