Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Update news on Mr. Drumpf, non of it good for him or the GOP. Given he has no consistent or credible plan or agenda , other than to build a big beautiful wall on the southern border, sending 11 million illegal aliens back to their country of origin, keeping Muslims out of the country, starting trade wars with current trading partners, and "Making America Great Again" (without any real specifics as to what that means), the Drumpf is giving America what rational folks always knew. A boatload of bulls*it. Donald Trump has collapsed in general election polls Donald Trump's 3 positions on abortion in 3 hours GOP launches contested convention website Donald Trump: Sure, I Might Use Nuclear Weapons In Europe. Hell, I Might Use Them In Chicago, Too. Watching a once respected and effective party implode is really a sad sight. But given the trajectory of its obstructionist and often irrational activities it is not at all ...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Now here is a craft brewery that has their politics absolutely correct! When the occasion arises to travel to Philadelphia this brewery will most definitely be on my stop list for a few patriotic brews. A brewery in Philadelphia has launched a range of anti-Donald Trump beers in a bid to discourage Americans against supporting the Republican frontrunner ahead of this year's US elections. The Dock Street Brewery revealed on 28 March that it has made its first beer in its anti-Trump range, the Short Fingered Stout, a reference to the size of the 69-year-old real estate mogul's hands. The beverage is being sold in a bottle with a label that features a mock image of Trump and the slogan. 'Friends Don't Let Friends Vote Drumpf'. Brewery officials said to NBC they used the name Drumpf after Comedy Central host John Oliver encouraged its use as part of his criticism of Trump, with the Drumpfs being the original name of T...

“By leading by example I’m showing what a rational, responsible guy would do that really wants the constitutional process to go forward.”  Mark Kirk could have been back in Illinois waging what might be the most difficult reelection campaign in Congress. Instead, the Republican senator was on Capitol Hill Tuesday drawing national attention for meeting with Supreme Court nominee Merrick Garland. Kirk became the first Republican to meet with Garland, a huddle that took place in the middle of a long congressional recess and was covered by more than 50 journalists. It featured some impromptu remarks by Kirk, who's been tight-lipped in the Capitol as he fights to save his job in November. Sitting beside Garland in his office, Kirk lavished praise on the Illinois native as a “brilliant” legal mind who is “one of the most eminent jurists in the country.” Then he shifted to his own party’s blockade of Garland, remarking that Republican senators who won’t even meet with Garland are “to...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Caught an article today in the WASHIGTON Examiner that falls into the category of unimportant trivia. It had to do with how much golf President Obama has played since becoming president. As to why the author felt inclined to devote time to the President's link time shall be left to you to decide for yourself. President Obama, fresh from his whirlwind spring break trip to Cuba and Argentina, hit the links for some R&R Saturday, playing his 281st round since becoming president. He was at Andrews for over five hours. That is slightly more than three quarters of a year of days playing the presidential sport for Obama. The president typically plays for at least four hours, sometimes longer, putting his time at over 1,100 hours golfing, or at least 46 full 24-hour days. After quickly reading the info I decided to have a bit of fun. Days in Office - 2,622 Hours in Office - 62,928 Days Playing Golf - 46 Hours Playing Golf -...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Do these nut jobs ever think rationally or are they always dwelling in the land misrepresentation, fear, and political darkness? THE HILL - A senior aide to the Donald Trump campaign said on Sunday that half a million U.S. girls are at risk for genital mutilation because of uncontrolled immigration. "You want to talk about women’s issues? Here’s something we should be talking about,” said Stephen Miller. “It is a fact: As a result of uncontrolled migration into this country – you can look this up, it’s a statistic from Equality Now – half a million U.S. girls in this country are at risk of female genital mutilation.” He immediately faced opposition from the rest of the panel, which included Neera Tanden, the president of the Center for American Progress, who said his comment is an example of the Trump campaign saying “something outrageous.” The report he cited, issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, states th...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth Woo Hoo! Strap em on and saddle up. Time for a convention at the Okay Corral. Backed by your NRA and patriotic cowboy republicans. Making America "safe" and Great Again . This nation, in its growing fear of multiple boogeymen in the form of immigrants that don't look like us , and Muslim Americans that don't practice the approved faith are opting to put law enforcement into the hands of untrained individuals in the mistaken belief it will make them safer. You want more safety? Increase the presence of qualified law enforcement professionals. Including local police, the FBI, the CIA, and National Guard. All under one central command with an orchestrated proper response to whatever threat or disturbance may develop. Those advocating this insanity are asking for a major accident to happen. Injecting heat into an environment were emotions will be running high and certain disagreement will be present makes absolutely...

Rational Nation U S A Purveyor of Truth The following excerpt of an article written by Brent Budowsky and published in The Hill is spot on in defining Donald Trump as well as the strategy his opponents should use to defeat him. A “Trump the loser” branding strategy would weave undisputed facts into a compelling narrative that voters understand. When Trump the loser created businesses that went bankrupt, he turned workers and investors who trusted him — as Caesar trusted Brutus — into victims who lost their jobs and money because they believed in him. When Trump the loser makes money from sales of clothes made in low-wage China and complains that wages for Americans are too high, those deals helped make China great, not America. In his low-wage deals on foreign-made clothing, Trump was a friend to American workers the way Benedict Arnold was a friend to the original tea party patriots. When repeated polls show Trump the loser being overwhelmingly defeated by Hillary Clinto...
