Trump is ...

A liar, a provocateur, a bully, a grandstander, a fake,  a usurper, a small mind, an anti-intellectual,  a poseur, a serious problem, a bad husband, a cheat,, an inept father, an un-American president, a useless human being, a  sociopath, an autocrat, a white supremacist, a fascist, a "pig" towards women,  an egoist, a wouldbe autocrat,
a moron, a mentally unstable neurotic, a potential psychotic, and America's biggest problem until he  loses his office.

Resist the Evil that is Trump

I grew up in Wisconsin...and I feel the need to apologize for Trump and the stupid responses given to his hateful remarks at a "rally" for hate last night in my home state. Trump is an imbecile, a dangerous one. He has incited violence against the media who rightly oppose him, the sane politicians and citizens who rightly resist him, all humans  who legitimate)y want him "out!"

Watching a madman like Trump tweet his own "victimhood" while he ridiculously incites hatred  against everyone and anyone who dares to criticize him or his ill informed policies is like having a seat at a Lewis Carroll tea party. Trump is mad; Trump is egomaniacal; Trump must be defeated along with his sycophants.

I voted early; please vote during this election. Vote Trump and the GOP out!

Trump Is Insane -- and his Followers Love That

He will say anything.  He will intone any lie that flits through his facile brain. He improvises policy "ad hoc." He demeans anyone he perceives as his enemy (that includes all women, Democrats, and immigrants).  He is a snake oil salesman, a liar, an overblown narcissist  who thinks only of himself!

He is not just "an ugly American"; he is the most ugly  American! Donald J. Trump is the political and cultural "nightmare of America." Begin thee process of getting rid of
him -- vote now!

Inscrutable Female -- Genius or Illusion

Flirtation, seduction, amorous conceit, desire, innocence, lust -- which is "real" and which is manipulation? Our literary and artistic history is full of examples. Most people's lives are equally packed with "romance" or  fakery. Are any of us adept at discerning the difference? And isn't that "discernment" a pivot point on which happiness turns?

Can a person be, ever be, really happy if his/her love is built on a lie? "Oh I never loved him but I was getting older, and I just had to have someone." Or " she/he was the first one who really kissed me."  "I wanted to feel what it was like; and it was all I ever knew." "It was really thrilling  at first...and Mom and Dad liked him/her, so, why not?" 

Do men and women ever tell the truth ... about love?  What Do you think?

Early Votiing -- the Beginning Of The End of Trump

Now is the time. In most places "early voting" in the mid-term elections has begun. Don't be deterred; don't ever forget! This is the chance we all have to undo the biggest mistake America has ever made.

We elected him; now we need to control him by controlling Congress, as a prelude to permanently retiring the disgusting and evil man from public influence, and public life. Prison for this lying man would be appropriate.

I voted on Monday in Savannah, Georgia. Vote early, or vote on time, but for America's sake, vote! All who are eligible -- vote! Millennials vote! Seniors vote! All women vote! All men who support women vote! Just vote!

Medicare, Insurance and the Lying GOP

Donald Trump is a bad liar. In a rally, or in an op-ed, in a simple on camera answer -- he lies, without compunction or regret. He lies about his programs, his plans, his past,
the country's future. He blames Hillary, the Democrats, Obama, China, the FBI, the media, even his own GOP-controlled Congress -- for any and all problems.

One of the huge issues in the mid-term elections is healthcare. Trump lies about ACA, pre-existing conditions, his party's platform and nearly everything else connected with healthcare. He lies to his "supporters" as well as everyone else.

Flirtation, Manipulattion, Romance: under #MeToo

We may be witnessing the "end of flirtation as we know it" in October, 2018. Youngish people, caught up only in social media don't flirt, they overwhelm! Nude selfies, sexting, provocative statements -- are more of an outright attack or challenge rather than an enticement. We have sunk to the level of a dirty French post card as our first encounter with someone. Mailboxes are crowded with cock shots and vagina monologues.

All sense of romance is lost; all sense is lost. Now we try to manipulate each other from the outset. We betray each other's humanity, we kill any sense of mystery-- of the body, of sex, of fantasy, of love. " Come hither has come and gone!" 

Romance is preserved only in literature. And most of us no longer read. I fear for the future of love beyond objectification of the opposite (or the same) sex.
