  Every so often these days you come across a true principled conservative. Admittedly however this is almost as rare today as seeing a fish fly. With the advent of Trumpism, the personality cult of Donald J. Trump, conservatism has acquired an extremely negative and undesirable character. In other words principled conservatives are running as fast as they can from Trumpism and conservatism is general.  More and more we see long standing and respected republicans/conservatives such as the folks at   The   Lincoln Project     signing on to support the democratic ticket during the 2020 election cycle. Prin cipled conservatives like myself must, if they are honest, ask themselves one simple question. Does Trump represent the values and principles once advocated by principled  conservatives in this democratic republic? To that question the answer is decidedly no. Conservatives and republicans have been completely absent when it comes to balanced budgets and the national debt, even before C

Something that should concern EVERY American of voting age. Donald J. Trump is both mentally and emotionally impaired as well a great danger to the integrity and stability of our democratic republic.  Newsweek - A psychiatry professor claimed President Donald Trump is so mentally impaired that he cannot think in abstract terms and can only view things in a one-dimensional way. Several experts in the areas of psychology and psychiatry have voiced concerns about Trump's mental well-being. While some argue that it is important to do so given the global importance of the U.S. presidency and the power wielded by the office, critics say you cannot make a proper assessment or diagnosis without a face-to-face session. "Trump has no policy on any issue because his mental impairment means he cannot think strategically or in abstract terms,"  tweeted  John M. Talmadge, MD, a physician and clinical professor of psychiatry at U.T. Southwestern Medical Center. "He cannot weigh o

Found at Progressive Eruptions today. A big thank you shout out for finding and posting this revealing data on the criminality of the Donald J. Trump administration. Or should I be calling it the greatest crime syndicate in American presidential history? TRUMP AND THE TRUMPUBLICANS WANT YOUR VOTE FOR 4 MORE YEARS OF THIS:  The Trump Administration Crime Syndicate: After 8 years in office, President Obama, 0 indictments. After 4 years in office, Trump (so far) has 215 indictments! FOUR MORE YEARS OF CRIMINALITY? VOTE NO! VOTE BIDEN-HARRIS 2020

  (CNN) -  Former chairman of the Republican National Committee Michael Steele is joining the Lincoln Project, a group of Republicans working to prevent   President Donald Trump's   re-election. "Today is the day where things should matter and you need to take stock of what matters to you -- and the kind of leader you want to lead in these moments. And for me, it ain't him," Steele, a political analyst for MSNBC said making the announcement to host Nicole Wallace on Monday afternoon. Steele was the first African American to be elected to statewide office in Maryland, serving as lieutenant governor from 2003 to 2007. He was also the first African American to serve as chairman of the RNC. "I get my role as a former national chairman. I get it, but I'm an American. I get my role as a former party leader. I'm still an American," Steele told Wallace, adding, "And these things matter to me more than aligning myself with a party that has clearly decide

  President Donald Trump ’s selection for a key Postal Service position, Robert M. Duncan, once had a very different job: steering the Republican Party while it undertook some of its most brazen voter suppression schemes. Duncan is now the chair of the Postal Service board of governors, but he previously served as general counsel and then chair of the Republican National Committee from 2002 to 2009, a time when the committee and its state counterparts oversaw an unprecedented escalation of voter disenfranchisement efforts in swing states. From 2004 to 2006, when Duncan was the committee’s general counsel, party officials challenged the eligibility of at least 77,000 voters,  a 2007 report by the nonpartisan group Project Vote found. As it happens, one of the party’s favored tactics relied on the U.S. mail . In 2004, Republicans in Ohio, Florida and Pennsylvania sent thousands of nonforwardable letters and postcards to select voters — particularly minority voters — and used the mail

 

A must watch. If you need any more reasons to NOT vote for Trump and his divisive and destructive Trumpism tune in to The Lincoln Project Town Hall.    

“This week we’ve seen a parade of well-respected Republicans, including former Ohio Governor John Kasich, voice their support for Joe Biden,” said Tim Miller, political director of Republican Voters Against Trump. “Meanwhile, the President’s attacking an American company that provides well-paying jobs. Operation Grant couldn’t be more needed.” Reed Galen, a co-founder of The Lincoln Project, put the attack in perspective, “Ohioans are already dealing with the rising unemployment caused by Trump’s failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The last thing they need is to suffer the economic aftershocks of a presidential temper tantrum.” The Lincoln Project plans to spend $425,000 airing “Goodyear” today through next week. As the general election approaches, Americans everywhere will now have to ask themselves what happens if the president’s ire falls on their city, state, or employer next.

A breath of fresh air coming to America November 3, 2020. The future without Trumpism holds unbounding promise and hope for America. Working together We The People, united in common purpose will Build America Back Better Thsan Ever !

The Unique U. S. Failure To Control The Virus Slowing the coronavirus has been especially difficult for the United States of America because of its tradition of prioritizing individualism and missteps btthe Trump administration Nearly every country has struggled to contain the coronavirus and made mistakes along the way. China committed the first major failure,  silencing doctors  who tried to raise alarms about the virus and allowing it to escape from Wuhan. Much of Europe went next,  failing to avoid  enormous outbreaks. Today, many countries — Japan, Canada, France, Australia and more — are coping with  new increases in cases  after reopening parts of society. Yet even with all of these problems, one country stands alone, as the only affluent nation to have suffered a severe, sustained outbreak  for more than four months : the United States.
