Trump Overthrew the US Govt
by G. Polvinale 02/17/17
The President of the United States is in bed with Vladimir Putin. Putin hacked the United States presidential election and installed Trump. Not out of the goodness of his heart. Trump made one of his famous deals. A deal to pull a coup of the government of the United States. Republicans were up in arms over Benghazi for years; if Benghazi was a 1, this is a 10. Trump needs impeached and then tried for treason and overthrow of the US Government. We have a strong arm dictator who illegally seized power. It is coming out more every day. The world knows what a mess we are in, and N. Korea, Russia, Iran and China are moving to take advantage of our situation. And if Trump is guilty of treason, the Republicans in Congress who support him, knowing full well what he did, are guilty of complicity. It really is time for a revolution. This is what happens when corporations take control of government. When Trump said, "Drain the swamp," what he meant was get rid of anyone who stood in the way of him and his fantasy-flinging, militaristic, sharia-based corporatocracy. Resist.
The Plan
by G. Polvinale 01/12/17
"Give the poor guy a chance." Give the poor guy a chance? He is not poor. He does not give anyone else a chance and whines when they don't give him one. His agenda is to destroy the poor, seniors, women, people of color, immigrants, and make everybody else the new "American society". Tramp is the standard bearer for the GOP. And boy are they jumping on his bandwagon - they have dismantled the entire social safety net already, and he isn't even sworn in yet. A shark feeding frenzy. He and all of the GOP leeches have one plan for the American people, "Make America Deflate Again"... aptly described by the Russian word that keeps popping up in the news the past couple of days... "Pissonya." This IS the poor guy's chance. And he's done blowed it.
"Bad" Has Arrived
by G. Polvinale 11/25/16
"You ain't seen bad yet... but it's comin'" --Patrick Swayze in the 1989 movie "Next of Kin". That was then - this is now. "Bad" has arrived. The good news... most of the brainless clowns who voted for Trump will be dead soon, when he gets rid of the backstops they need to survive, like Social Security, Medicare, affordable health insurance, decent jobs, freedom. The bad news... most of the rest of us will be dead too, because those are things we all need.
Ever notice how one of the favorite tactics of republicans is to accuse their critics of doing exactly what they themselves are doing? Trump was right about the election being rigged, but not the way you thought. Clinton and the DNC took Bernie Sanders to the cleaners, stacking everything against him. Oops, republicans have been using that strategy since at least back as far as the 2000 election when they suppressed votes, hacked machines, intimidated voters, purged voter rolls, shorted machines, cut voting hours, manipulated the media, hacked into emails, to name a few. They let the Clinton people believe they had the upper hand, and then cut it off.
Rather than have people find out what they themselves did, the democrats and even president Obama himself, expressed crocodile concern about "peaceful transition". As if the democrats would be storming the White House with pitchforks. "Peaceful transition" is code for "Let's make anybody who protests the election or asks penetrating questions look like a terrorist, so we can nip anything that might unearth the truth about what the DNC did in the election." So they are saving their own asses, and in the process, allowing Trump to steal the presidency. Even though they know damn well that he stole it. Even though the consequences are horrific for millions and millions of Americans. "Peaceful transition" and a few other unintelligible phrases expelling from the mouth of a stunned and lifeless president Obama are what we get, instead of indignation over what amounts to a coup right under our noses. Trump must be doubled over sick with laughter over pulling this one off.
This election was the next step in the Corporate War. After decades of planning, the rich guys who control the corporations clamped down fast, stealing the presidency, congress, the supreme court and state governorships - almost overnight. Big Pharma, Big Oil, Big Chem, Big Ag and Big Guns decided "Why wait? Who will stop us? Let's do it right out in the open." Those without enough to live on are too busy trying to keep from starving, and those with good jobs are distracted by everything our society offers them as reward for throwing their fellow citizens under the bus.
What's next? Trump and his lockstep GOP groupies will now proceed to dismantle Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, affordable healthcare, public education, environmental protections, energy, NATO. All to the cheers of millions of bigoted, greedy, got-a-good-job-and-screw-everybody-else, religous, righteous, belligerent, fools who think they aren't next.
Bad has arrived.
How Trump Did It
by G. Polvinale 01/30/17
Here is how SCROTUS did the impossible. Trump hired a "big data" mining company called Cambridge Analytica to dig up, process and predict the likes, fears, and voting preferences of every single American, to target "dark posts" (Facebook posts that can only be seen by users with specific profiles) based on those likes, fears and preferences. That same company turned in an upset victory on the Brexit vote and other rightwing victories in European elections. Guess who is one of the big dogs in that company...board member Steve Bannon, former executive chair of the right-wing online newspaper Breitbart News, and now SCROTUS' senior counselor and chief strategist. Ladies and gentlemen, Donald Trump manipulated the election, staged a coup of the United States government, took over control illegally and has begun to dismantle everything we know as the United States of America.
People Over 40 Are Done
by G. Polvinale 03/02/16
I'm more than fed up with being replaced by a kid in every job out there. I saw plenty of interviewing discrimination after I lost my job because of my age and experience, and then couldn't get hired for those same reasons.
Society's economic model has changed in the last several years. When we were younger, we had to work hard to scrape by, giving us valuable experience and skills that would see us through our whole life. Gradually, we made a life for ourselves. Now suddenly everywhere you look, the kids have plenty of money to spend on the tech culture that corporations are pushing. And older people are handcuffed, watching everything they worked hard for slip away, due to higher living expenses and no job prospects. This is criminal. And it's all part of the new corporate culture that has taken over every aspect of our lives.
Those of us over 40 "don't fit in" to the new society. So we scrape by the best we can... or die trying. The "greatest generation" and the "baby boomers" have been thrown under the bus, to provide cheap labor to the soulless corporations. The result? Everywhere you go now, you get some seemingly unemployable, ignorant, inexperienced, belligerent kid who doesn't give a shit waiting on you, taking care of you, on the other end of the phone, selling you stuff, fixing your plumbing, building your car or reading you the news.
After the greedy rich top 1 percent take 90 percent of what our economy generates, the rest of us have to fight over what's left. And "what's left" has pretty much been commandeered by workers in their 20's. And all this happened suddenly in the last 5 years, with no chance for a gradual adjustment to occur. Leaving people over fifty to die. Don't think so? Just wait.
