Unmasking the GOP as the Party of Negligent Homicide [truthout.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 24, 2018:

I'm not sure how much of my medical care is coming out of the ACA (Obamacare) but I chose to leave everything alone. I retired and the government pushed us all to let private companies do our medical care. I chose Coventry which is now under the Aetna umbrella. Off and on there have been small charges for prescriptions. For quite some time now most of mine have been totally free. I would have certain co-pay for a surgical procedure. Along came Trump and every effort to kill Obamacare. Constant announcements that the ACA is dead. That doesn't seem to be the case. My phone is going crazy with people wanting me to sign up for this new wonderful healthcare. I refuse and just hang up. Trump promised us cheaper and better healthcare at a decent price. I don't see it. My friends all complain because their healthcare is going up a lot higher. I don't know what they are doing but I simply left mine alone and did nothing. Mr. Trump, where is that "cheaper and more affordable healthcare" that you promised? I don't see it. Been too busy with illegals at the border maybe, or did you just hope people would forget and let you slide on that one? Maybe we will finally get "trickle down" healthcare. Trump fought in court to end the healthcare of his own nephew, so why do people think he will give us access to good healthcare? It just is not happening. I'm sorry you are having (and have also had) such a hard struggle for healthcare as is brought out in your first paragraph. Yours is a horror story that is much like I'm hearing from friends who used to have it all so much better. For some maybe ACA was not working. For most people healthcare is only getting worse. I guarantee you there is nothing Trump is doing that will make it any better. He's too busy making everything that happens actually be about himself. The show is Reality America now and he is the star.

When I was younger than ten I remember the word "jazz." It had nothing to do with music and it was used for an ejaculate - cum. We kids had just discovered this word and it had to be used in a guarded way because we could never say "jazz" around the adults. We were in fear of being whipped and punished.

I'll just leave this here.

The Great Dictator Speech - Charlie Chaplin

DenoPenno comments on Jun 23, 2018:

Charlie Chaplin was more of a Democratic Socialist. That's why he had so much trouble in this country. His film "the Great Dictator" hit it all right on the head as to how Hitler could be and could come to power. The problem was that this came out of conservatism and the powers in America were very much conservative. Chaplin also liked much younger women, so that did it. This Chaplin guy might be a communist! God forbid.

Speculation will always exist for those who want to make things up without proof. They do this because they have to know everything, and this in itself is impossible. For Evangelicals they have a book that has everything in it. Well, not really, but they think it does. Ask them and they will explain it all and even tell you that science is bad. Of course, many things are passed off to the deeper things of god. Everyone is afraid to die so a "soul" is invented that puts mankind instantly in one state or another.

Ohio Cop Is Fired After Threatening To Jail Daughter's Boyfriend On Bogus Charges | HuffPost

DenoPenno comments on Jun 23, 2018:

He was fired and rightly so. For all those arguing against ideas of racism and thinking I have said Trump has done something outright to people of color, please note that I did not say that. What I did say was that racism exists and is as strong as it ever was. Notice in this link that the boyfriend of the cop's daughter is black. The cop and his daughter are both white. This is the reason the cop really wanted to arrest that black man. He thinks he is protecting his daughter, so he is making shit up. This is called racism, folks. It's plain and simple.

The problem with things like this in the Trump era is that no one calls bullshit and it's like everyone takes it seriously. Maybe everyone is apathetic.

As a younger man I used to use radio waves and how they penetrate everything invisibly as my evidence for a gateway into the supernatural. All that did was open the imagination of nonsense and today I no longer believe anything supernatural. A lot of what the hunter-gatherers are doing is symbolic and a carry over of thousands of years. Most of them know this. They kill the noble beast for food and it's hide, paying homage to the creature because we are all in a "supply and demand" of nature itself. This is valid from the smallest to the greatest of all of us.

Rules Are for Schmucks: The DeVos Religious College Ploy - TheHumanist.com

DenoPenno comments on Jun 23, 2018:

DeVos and other religious groups behind her know that Ajax is the only real god and they have to have his teachings mixed in with the science class. Imagine what hovac that would cause. The courts would fight it and knock it down until it actually meant nothing. Teaching gods in school would have to be equally done because of the many gods. Not enough time to do this. In the end, DeVos and friends lose.

George Will is not the only one taking this stand but I can certainly agree with it. What's going on? Many people (regardless of bipartisan politics) are** tired of all the nonsense** going on and they would actually like to see some governing instead. One way of causing that to happen is to have a balance of power with both parties.

At what cost? Apparently we ignore the fact of costs making us go to the imports in the first place.

Some of my family goes along with this. I correct them openly if it comes up. Examples would be "all the good" he is doing, etc. That's when I tell it like it is. At my work it has almost become policy to not speak of the man or anything going on today. I suspect Nazi Germany did things in a similar way at times. Then there are those I went to school with. Their attitude is that he must be OK or he would not have been elected. The whole world must hate Trump for some reason, but their pastor told them he was anointed by god. Knowing how the devil works that explains why the world appears to hate Trump. It's all enough to make you sick.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 21, 2018:

In the Trump world of today reality is always blurred. If you don't believe that just talk to a Trump supporter. My school friend of years ago is a bigtime GOP supporter and he thinks Trump has so much money that he never needs to borrow any. This is out of the norm because it would mean Trump uses his own money on building or any projects he does. This is very strange thinking.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 20, 2018:

This is exactly how they want to go to get rid of public schools as we know them and get god back into the classrooms. What they are ignorant of is just which god. Powers that be think this plan will work. In the end they would have to teach a little about all the gods because their is no time to turn schools into places of religious learning unless that is how they were set up in the first place. This is a plan of putting church and state together as one. It simply cannot work.

He still has plans to get money for his wall and also stop immigration as we have known it. That's what this little power play was about but it rubbed too many the wrong way. Now former New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, has set aside 80 million of his own money for the Democrats in the upcoming mid term elections. He says nobody is getting anything done and he wants to restore a balance of power between the two parties. Then maybe somebody will govern.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 20, 2018:

Trump is only turning this border separation policy around because everyone is outraged and we have found out about Stephen Miller coming up with the idea along with others who support it. Look at all the lies that were told about border separation being needed, legal, and even a "law" (which it is not) on into blaming the Democrats for this mess. Sessions and Sara Slanders even claimed it was "biblical." It was not so, but would that make a difference? Trump plainly wanted to use this entire situation to get funding for his border wall and stop immigration as we know it today. Once the Dems would agree to that he would stop the policy, he said. In the current outrage we see another thing just this evening. Former New York mayor, Michael Bloomberg, is going to set aside 80 million for the Democrats in the mid term elections. He's tired of the nonsense and wants to restore a balance of power again, then maybe those who are elected will want to govern. So far they have done a very poor job of it.

Everyone is deaf, dumb, and blind!

You made me hurt you

DenoPenno comments on Jun 19, 2018:

Cruel and insensitive and now you know exactly what kind of blackmail he is up to with his parent and child separations. Any immigration bill must have full funding for his wall. Even if they cave in to this it will stop all immigration as we know it now. This man is an idiot!

My experience is very similar. Privately I am an introvert who's interests would likely bore you to tears. My working experience daily has always been extrovert situations to the extremes. This gave me some kind of meaning in my life, and I keep it going today with 3 hours of delivery in auto parts. My big adjustment is that there is nobody to come home to. Nobody to talk to. These days I throw myself into my music and TV along with extensive computer updates on 3 units. I'm starting to be a perfectionist with that and it would bore you to death. If there was a woman around we would also window shop, go out to eat, and just look around a lot. I find that what I look at for sale today might be something I needed last week. Overall, being alone is not an easy adjustment.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 17, 2018:

No, they are being used. Taking away healthcare is only a small part of it. Worldwide the bustup of the European Union and the Western Alliance is planned so as to have less restriction when it comes to coal and oil products. This means they make more money. Back to American healthcare, I find that the right says they "don't want you to spend your hard earned tax dollars on someone else's healthcare." This assumes that you do have enough money for your own healthcare when the average American doesn't even have $5,000. Imagine that they use this kind of lie. They tell you about a right to life but you have no right to healthcare. How would people get by? It's greed. Just too much greed.

Islam is evil: Genital mutilation of girls: Happening in a city near you.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 17, 2018:

Genital mutilation of girls and women is a serious crime and should be punished to the fullest extent of the law. The idea here is that without a clitoris the girl will not be sexually active so the man gets a woman who has never had sex. It's a man's world and what he is getting is a woman who can never really enjoy sex. The genital mutilation process also allows the young woman to be sewn up so as to become a "tighter fit" for the man. It's hard to believe that cultures really go for this in the modern age. This is a crime that should carry a prison sentence. On the other hand, I'm not circumcised. Some people make a big deal out of that too but there is a simple way of doing it. If the male child is young enough just use a pencil sharpener. WTF? I was kidding. :)

Depression

DenoPenno comments on Jun 17, 2018:

I wish you well. **I have depression that gets severe**. It stims from a realization that my past is more my life than anything I do today. Married 3 times and living with another woman until she died, my life had always been one of variety and adventure. Health reasons come along that involve nueropathy, constant tiredness, and a big belly. I'm on no meds for depression but I'm also aware my best days are behind me. I occupy myself with 3 hours of work daily, political activism on the side, watching my many TV programs, maintaining and upkeeping my 3 computers, and trying to keep Microsoft and others from undermining me. **The computer thing alone is a constant battle.** I'm not really a perfectionist but I want everything to work properly. If staying busy this way is not enough there is always sleep, then wake up and try it all again.

I remember that slime ball well and I knew he was behind this. Earlier he got carried away on talk shows and called Air Force One "Trump Force One" among other things. He's a puppet and a stooge . Of course, it didn't take Trump long to start saying that the border separations of parent and children is because of "a law" the Democrats made. There is no law and this idea is simply not true. Trump then lies and says the Democrats can stop this as he applies it to the November elections. What does all the coded talk and lies mean? It means Trump and the gang will stop the border separations if the Democrats give them what they want, and they want a blank check. Just today Beto O'Rourke is leading a march in Texas about this separation of parent and child. The media is covering that event but nobody seems to be able to see what is going on. Fascism and forced propaganda abound.

Every one of these are priceless.

This is the most brilliant thread about fuck tRump you will ever read. [wokesloth.com]

Fuck Trump! I can certainly agree with that. Lying repeatedly on policies that separate parents and children at the border, he now blames that exclusively on Democrats in hopes it will make the GOP look good to voters in November. Trump goes along with this but not openly. New policy never done before, it's most likely thought up by Stephen Miller. It's enough to make most normal people angry when your policies terrorize a child. Most Americans that give a damn want to know where those kids are. I don't know and a Senator was turned away from one site when he wanted to investigate. He's a lawmaker. Are we ruled by Gestopo? Then we have just lying PR. On radio 92.9 there is a new program called "Get It Off Your Chest." Fridays from 9 AM til noon in my area. We have Dave Weinbaum , conservative host, St. Louis McDonald's franchise owner, and GOP supporter, telling you politics his way in between calls. 1. Dave told a story about the new air traffic controllers not having enough training to do their jobs and how this was scary for Americans and that our lives might be on the line. The new air traffic controllers just do not have the training. Then he thanked Obama. Most of us know it's a lie. 2. Dave said recently that he doesn't want to see your hard earned tax dollars go to support someone else's heath care. That's fine if everyone had money enough for their own health care. So many of us do not and that is why we have government programs for it. A local friend of mine and a schoolmate is a bigtime GOP and Trump supporter. We talked recently on politics that are current and I got some more Republican insight. 1. The Mueller investigation should be stopped. It's ridiculous. Trump has no connections with Russia and saying that he gets his loans from them is ignorant. Trump has enough money so he would never need a loan. I wanted to laugh out loud. This is not how you build things. 2. Trump's tarriffs are starting to work now. We are manufacturing our own steel again. Of course, my friend could not give me more details on this. He changed the subject. 3. Under Trump we have now opened up 2 or 3 new coal mines. When I pressed for details the subject was changed again. So much for the coal mines. 4. My friend says that America's days of being a world power are fast coming to an end. He doesn't attribute any of that to Trump because Trump is trying to "save America." I'm getting sick now and it's time to stop this. If I keep going on with it I'm afraid Congerssman Greg Gianforte might show up and body slam me. Especailly if I'm talking about healthcare.

Im Libertarian. Any more here?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 16, 2018:

I currently have a Libertarian Party card in my wallet. I vote for who I like and in my lifetime I've had cards of the DNC and RNC. After the Trump fiasco I'll never have another thing to do with the GOP in my lifetime. That's right. Not ever. My political leanings are more like a Democratic Socialist.

There is some validity to this...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 16, 2018:

Truth in every one of those. Powers that be are having a hard time selling Trump. If they do succeed and somebody buys him, I hope they take him far, far away. I am very tired of waking up and breathing Trump every day.

Please let this happen soon and take Pence and Sessions and the whole group out too.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 16, 2018:

This is one of his greatest fears. That's why he always wants to stop Mueller. Trump supporters claim there is nothing there. Mueller isn't finding anything. Maybe they don't watch the news, or they might be too busy watching the "fake news."

Is anyone here into Westworld?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 16, 2018:

The way Season 2 is going right now is a great parallel between man and religion and how we found religion, etc. Acting it out with these AI beings is fascinating. Everyone has a purpose or wants a purpose. Many beings have feelings of things happening before. This is very much how we really are.

I officially HATE right wing nuts now.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 16, 2018:

Yes, and his strategy is to blame Democrats for this in order to broaden the concept of GOP wins at midterm this November. Common sense says that children and parents have only been separated under Trump so the idea is totally Republican and totally new.

Two is not better than one...

The two biggest assholes in America.

I just want to bang my head against a wall! I've NEVER saw a president with so many lawsuits, or ...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 15, 2018:

On top of this his supporters keep on lying for him. A man I went to school with is a big Trump supporter and he told me yesterday that we are starting to produce our own steel again and with good results. He says it's because of the tarriffs. He went on to tell me that 2 or 3 new coal mines have also opened up. When I pressed for details and locations he simply changed the subject. This is the nature of Trump supporters and my friend is a big time involved Republican.

Has anyone ever been so widely despised?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 15, 2018:

He's at the top of my list. I love to start my day without any BS about him or his tweets.

So far today, I've seen two commercials for the "Creation Museum", and three for the "Ark ...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 13, 2018:

I agree with you fully. I've seen no commercials for them in Missouri so far. The Ark is a big lie and would never have worked in the first place. How in the hell are you going to have a Creation Museum? What would be in there? Leftovers from the Ark maybe.

Something I’m hearing about with the suicides of celebrities like Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain ...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 13, 2018:

More and more there is a "script" for life and what we do. Nobody can be themselves. This is followed so closely and is so ingrained into us that it is almost impossible to deal with the real person. Our workplace has this attitude and often we are trained from computer script. I'm sure TV and movie people go through this same thing daily. It's no wonder that we see suicides and death among those that we thought had no problems at all.

WTF

That's all ate up. Strangely, believers see him as a godsend even though the man is a monster.

Not only the view in Canada - the world is watching the USA with concern.

DenoPenno comments on Jun 13, 2018:

Wise words that take in exactly what I believe is happening today.

Adam Ruins Everything - anybody a fan?

DenoPenno comments on Jun 13, 2018:

I like that program a lot.

Made this as a reply and thought it was worthy of a post: Actually, god, as a concept is ...

DenoPenno comments on Jun 13, 2018:

I know but you are forgetting that today the apologists claim god is in another dimension. Look at it this way. Look at dimensions as fish bowls. God can jump out of his fish bowl and jump into ours, do what ever he decides, then go back to his fishbowl without leaving a single trace. That also explains why we see no evidence of god - on earth, in the sky, or in anyone's fishbowl.
