A category with my rants on politics.
To all those fragile cupcakes who are crying in their lattes that Hillybob didn’t get elected, take some sage advice from your anointed one. Donald J. Trump has won the election, therefore …
UPDATE Nov. 11 !!!
Even Bernie “Feel the Bern” Sanders, mocked the same Hillybob line yesterday during an interview with Wolf Blitzer.
I am pleased to say that I was wrong. I predicted a Hillybob win for the President. You can read it HERE.
As an added bonus to Mr. Trump’s win in the election we have a bunch of Hollyweird types who have adamantly stated they will leave the country if Mr. Trump wins. Time to pack your bags!
Here’s a short list of those on the way to Canada, South Africa, and parts unknown:
Mr. Trump will have two Supreme Court justices to replace when Ginsburg leaves! Of course Babs and Ms. Bono have threatened to leave two or three before which means just like most stuff they say is, well to be kind, bovine excrement.
On a serious note, the big winners last night were The American People.
Would you vote for president a candidate that uses foul language, says he’s against the big banks, and claims that the system is rigged against him? Would you vote for such a brash, jackass of a candidate?
No? Well pull out your wallet and take a look at a $20 bill. Who do you see?
The seventh President of The United State, Andrew Jackson was all of the above.
When Jackson ran for President in 1824 he narrowly won the popular vote and the Electoral College but in the Electoral College none of the candidates had a majority. The decision went to the House of Representatives who chose John Quincy Adams as the sixth President. Jackson and his supporters decried that the fix was in and it was rigged against him! The Speaker of The House was Henry Clay, one of the other candidates for President. Clay advocated for Adams. After Adams was chosen, he appointed Clay as, wait for it, … Secretary of State! This tit-for-tat was decried at the time as a “corrupt bargain”.
Jackson formed his own political party and won a landslide victory the next election cycle.
Jackson campaigned as a defender of the people when he shut down centralized banking.
Andrew Jackson was also known for saying brash things and peppering his speech with foul language.
When Andrew Jackson ran in 1828 under his newly formed political party many of his opponents openly called him a “Jackass“!
The party that he formed was the Democratic Party and the Jackass became and remains their symbol.
