    There is an online edition of our local newspaper where the following exchange took place (I thought you might find this interesting):

    ANTHONY IOVINE - Today at 12:40 PM
    "Your last sentence is absolutely ludicrous. What you said was that "EVERYONE" who supports a lunatic as Trump has no moral backbone. Isn't that the same as saying that everyone who supports that "PATHOLOGICAL LIAR" Hillary has no moral backbone also."

    
(O)CT(O)PUS - Today at 1:23 PM
    "

Mr. Iovine,
    An interesting point you raise. So I surfed the Internet to check the facts - the percentage of true versus false statements made by Trump and Clinton respectively - and this is what I found (as reported by PolitiFact.com):

    True statements — Clinton 16, Trump 4
    Mostly true statements — Clinton 48, Trump 10

    False statements — Clinton 15, Trump 65
    Pants on fire statements - Clinton 1, Trump 30

    Here are the overall rating as provided by PolitiFact.com:
    Donald Trump — False 60.13 of the time, True 2.53% of the time
    Hillary Clinton — False 13.33 of the time, True 13.33 of the time

    So it appears Donald Trump is the “pathological liar” as well as the lunatic. Thus, on both measures, Donald Trump has no moral backbone."

    (Whether this lets air out of the buffoon's balloon is another)

    In my opinion (O)CT(O)PUS it will have zero effect on the Trumpian buffoon or anyone else that prefers truthiness to actual acts. unfortunately...

    The above should read..
    To actual facts .

    That aside, I just finished watching a Hannity segment on Faux News with Gingrich, Trump, Walker, Giuliani, and the favorite Milwaukee sheriff. The untruths and hypocrisy was glaring. But the audience ate it up. Therr remains little credibility left in the GOP.

    Unfortunately the democratic party and HRC have a credibility problem as well. However, it hasn't reached the magnitude of the GOP and the rightwing yet.

    2016 will be a year to remember. If Trump wins and his "vision" becomes reality we will have lost our democratic republic. Likely for good.

    Back this Friday or Saturday.

Is Our Democratic Republic At Risk From Forces Both Foreign and Within?...

We are moving this running post up to front page this evening where it will remain until January 3'rd 2017 when we will return to single posts, hopefully on a daily basis. There is much to do in getting the TRUTH out about Donald J Trump, a dishonest, totally self absorbed, and dangerous individual. He may be the president on January 20th but that does not mean thoughtful and concerned people shouldn't challenge Trump at every turn and fight his agenda whenever it runs contrary to their interests and those of their family. More to come. BTW, be sure to read today's entry, 12/28/16, below. this is just one example AND, it is just the beginning. You've probably noticed the brief posts of late. Posts with very short commentary by the weblolg administrator followed by an article that goes into the subject in much greater detail. This has been done purposefully following the rancorous 2016 election, and because its Christmas Time, soon to be a New Year.  This posting f...

More From The Lincoln Project On Our Liar In Chief...

Image
New from The Lincoln Project - June 9, 2020- Contrary to all evidence, since his inauguration, President Donald J. Trump has been lying about the size of the crowds that he says have come out to cheer him on. Finally, this week, in cities across America, from coast to coast, and small towns in between, crowds even larger than he ever imagined possible have gathered — not to cheer Trump on — but in solidarity with one message: It’s time for him to go. Donald Trump, the American people are speaking directly to you with a simple message: It’s time to start packing your bags Indeed Donald J. Trump has told thousands of documented lies since assuming office. He is, a pathological liar as well as a sociopath. His lack of leadership, corruption, divisiveness, and non existent emotional intelligence is appalling as well as dangerous. Trump, in 3 1/2 years has shown America in real time what a corrupt, inept, and egregiously incompetent man looks like. The crowds now filling the stree...

14 Points Of Fascism...

from: Les Carpenter Rational Nation USA Purveyor of Truth Fascism, a word tossed about frequently. Conservatives will say progressives lean fascist and progressives will say conservatives lean fascist. So, what's the truth? Or is there some truth both display some if not all of the characteristics? Dr. Laurence Britt , a political scientist who studied the fascist regimes of Hitler, Mussolini, Franco, Suharto, and Pinochet and found common themes running through of all these. He compiled a list called "The 14 Points of Fascism." 1. Powerful and continuing expressions of nationalism 2. Disdain for the importance of human rights 3. Identification of enemies/scapegoats as a unifying cause 4. The supremacy of the military/avid militarism 5. Rampant sexism 6. A controlled mass media 7. Obsession with national security 8. Religion and ruling elite tied together 9. Power of corporations protected 10. Power of labor suppressed or eliminated 11. Disdain and suppr...
