You Are All Losers!

LOSERS!  That’s what Hillybob thinks of 1/2 of the American population. Over 162 million of you are losers in her book.

Her words, “You know, to just be grossly generalistic, you could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the ‘basket of deplorables.’ Right? The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it.”  That would currently be about 1/4 of the population of the United States of America, by golly.

She went on to say, “But the other basket … feel that the government has let them down”.  The other half in her book are those that who “feel that” they have been disenfranchised and marginalized by the government.

Let’s examine the wording closely, and we should as she’s a trained Yale lawyer (also accepted at Harvard) who is an expert in the use of words.  She says that the “other basket” contains the other quarter of the population whom just “feel” let down.  NOTICE, that she did not say they “have been let down by the government”.  Hillybob implies that they ARE NOT in fact LET DOWN BY GOVERNMENT.  It’s only an idea in their little pea brains.  Once again in her book, another quarter of the US population is too stupid to realize what a great job big government is doing for (to?) them.

And then on to her apology, 17 hours later, “Last night I was grossly generalistic and that’s never a good idea. I regret saying ‘half.  That was wrong,” .

Once again, let us examine the words spoken.  She DID NOT say that the SUBSTANCE of what she said was wrong.   in her “apology”, she only states that the estimated quantity of “deplorable” people in the “basket” was wrong.  Was she thinking the number should be 3/4, 7/8, all?

What sort of a half-assed apology was that?!?!?

She should have framed her apology to express WHAT SHE REALLY THINKS,

“I’m sorry that 162 million or more of you are a bunch of STUPID RACIST LOSERS!”.

What A Deal For The US Taxpayer!

I just read today that the US State Department had signed a letter of intent to buy real estate in Nigeria. In the memorandum they were willing to pay the full asking price of $1250 per square meter.

Just out of curiosity I looked up some ocean view property in Malibu, CA. I can, without any negotiation, own a 2.19 acre ready to build  lot for a mere $6,900,000 (the asking price). For my money, I also get the plans to build a sweet Mediterranean style mansion with a view of Catalina Island.

To save you from busting out the calculators, my $7 million buckaroo purchase works out to $778 per square meter.

Wowzer! I would have never guessed that land in Nigeria is 60% more expensive than ocean view property in Malibu, CA!!!

Oh, one little extra special  tidbit. The land that the US State Department was looking to purchase is owned by a close friend of Billybob and Hillybob Clinton. Their good friend had generously given the Clinton Organized Crime Syndicate $5,000,000 big ones.

Of course the godfather and godmother will claim there was no influence or conflict of interest as the letter of intent was issued 23 day after the godmother left the office of Secretary of State.  Yeah, right.

BOHICA!!!

This is presidential?

I turned on the news this morning and Singaporean Prime Minister Lee and President Obama were holding a joint press conference. This was the first time in 30 years that a Singaporean Prime Minister has made a state visit to our country.

Unfortunately I turned it on as our president was once again railing on Mr. Trump in front of the  world.

How is this “presidential”?  It was an embarrassment to our country to have the commander in chief campaigning for his anointed successor at a state visit and trade talk news conference.  I wanted to yell at the TV and tell our president to just “shut the **** up!” and talk about issues.

Prime Minister Lee had class  when he said it was “not his place” to comment on the United States election.  He also said that his country has worked successfully with 5 Republican presidents and 4 Democrat ones.  Prime Minister Lee also said, “The Americans are proud of their system of checks and balances.”  Regarding if we were to elect a president that was not as open to trade, he went on to say, “They (checks and balances) make things not so easy to do, but also make it not so easy to completely mess things up.”

Prime Minister Lee showed class and a knowledge of how the real world works.

And for the record, BOTH Felon Hillary and Bombastic Trump are currently expressing that they do not agree with the terms and structure of the Trans-Pacific-Partnership (TPP).  Of course Hillybob has flip-flopped on this issue.  She at one time called the TPP the “gold standard” of trade agreements.  Now that she adopted Senator Sanders’ progressive platform, she is against it as she stated “it doesn’t meet my standard”.  But according to her close friend Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe, she will embrace the TPP once she is elected president.  Flippity-floppity-foo.  Or probably more correctly, “Flippity-floppity, I fool you!”.
