Socrates! Donald Trump, China, Russia And Saudi Arabia Ticking Time Bomb:

Posted in Trump Ticking Time Bomb with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on November 10, 2017 by sheriffali

Socrates lived and died for Truth and Law; Donald Trump lives by Lying more and more! That’s why it’s not hard to guess why the Saudi crown prince has chosen to follow the Russian and Chinese road map, or why he has sought to consolidate power instead of sharing it.

 

Socrates lived his life as an endless examination of what is good and true and right, seeking neither office nor wealth; Mr. Trump is a know-it-all demagogue who treats the highest office as his right.

 

Socrates served his city as a soldier in war when called upon; Mr. Trump played the system — avoiding military service, exploiting legal loopholes and connections, amassing riches.

 

Socrates said he pursued knowledge because he knew nothing, and that people had to learn from experts, not follow the crowd. Mr. Trump proclaims himself the best at everything and gives the crowd what it wants; in order to make it his. He belittles experts, even his own country’s foreign service. “I’m the only one that matters,” he declares.

 

But Trump is also part of the story of Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince. By his own example — through his disdain for courts and for the media, through his scorn for ethical norms — Trump has cast doubt on the Western model.

 

Trump may even have encouraged the Saudi prince more directly. Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, a living embodiment of American nepotism, visited Riyadh for long talks — officially to promote Mideast peace, but perhaps business and politics came up, too — in the days before the arrest. The image of two princelings, scheming late into the night, makes a textbook illustration of the decline of American prestige and American values, even in a country that is closely allied to the United States.

 

Only time will tell what the future holds for America and the world as most Republicans remain grounded in their support for the most Treasonous, Corrupt, Self-Centered, Conceited, Pathological Lying Con Man, presently sitting in the “People’s Oval Office.

Solution To The Category 5 Constitutional Crisis Ahead!

Posted in Politics 2016 with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , on July 21, 2017 by sheriffali

GOP, Since Your Speaker Of The House Paul Ryan And Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell Are Connected To Trump’s Treason, they are never going to try to Impeach Donald Trump, So,  Honest, Patriotic Republicans, America Really Needs You Now. The Founding Fathers Anticipated “A” Donald Trump But They Never Envisioned A Major Political Party Enabling A Treasonous And Corrupt President, Donald Trump, To Dismantle The Greatest Nation In the World. “She,” America, Needs The Temporary Defections Of 5 US Republican Senators And 47 Republican Members Of The House Of Representatives That Would Enable Democratic Temporary Control Of Congress. And;

 

Chuck Schumer and Nancy Pelosi will bring to the Floor of the House and Senate an Impeachment Bill to Impeach Donald Trump forthwith. However, as many would know, after bringing the Impeachment Bill to the Floor and the Vote is taken, America will need Two Thirds[2/3] in both Houses to Impeach Trump.

 

The Patriotic Republicans that would have temporarily crossed over you could then return to your GOP Party and you would have good or bad news in the next Election. However, it is worth going down to save your country, isn’t it?” You may very well lose your seat but then again, clear thinking, Patriotic Voters may see you as the real Heroes that saved the greatest Nation like none before, from going over the precipice.

 

This is what the Men and Women that wore or is wearing the “Uniform” in battle died for, got injured or presently serving, give their lives for so that America can remain that shining light on the hill. If Donald Trump remains President with all of his baggage from Lying, Treason, Corruption and other egregious machinations, that involves members of his family and many of his Minions, America will end up being ruled by Russia under the Stewardship of the Corrupt, Murdering Dictator, Vladimir Putin.

Hillary Clinton Launched A New Political Group Titled “Onward Together,” To Promote America’s Democracy And Resist Donald Trump And Republicans Unpatriotic Abuse Of The US Constitution And Of America And The American People.

In the 2016 Election Hillary Clinton won the Popular Vote in excess of 2.9 Million Votes. Treasonous Trump Colluded With Vladimir Putin and Russia and at home, Fraudulent Republicans Suppressed and Purged Minority Voters.

 

Looking at the present Chaos at the White House and the Republican Controlled Congress, it is fair to say, Hillary Clinton didn’t lose, America and the World lost the most qualified person to ever have ran for the Presidency of the United States. We will soon find out the outcome of Donald Trump’s Treason and Fraud enabled by 95% of the “Most Dishonest Republican Party in American History.”

 

[NYT} “Hillary Clinton on Monday announced the launch of Onward Together, a new political group aimed at advancing progressive causes by harnessing grass-roots opposition to President Trump’s policies.

Mrs. Clinton, 69, who until recently had maintained a low profile after her loss in the presidential election in November, said on Twitter that her new group would encourage people to “get involved, organize, and even run for office.”

 

Mrs. Clinton, 69, who until recently had maintained a low profile after her loss in the presidential election in November, said on Twitter that her new group would encourage people to “get involved, organize, and even run for office.”

 

“More than ever, I believe citizen engagement is vital to our democracy,” she added. “I’m so inspired by everyone stepping up to organize and lead.”

 

Mrs. Clinton went on to praise the work of several grass-roots groups that have emerged as part of a broad liberal movement opposed to Mr. Trump and his policies. Onward Together will support those groups, she said, though she did not describe what form the assistance would take.

 

Onward Together is registered as a 501(c) (4) group, the Internal Revenue Service designation for so-called social welfare nonprofits, which are often cited for a rise in dark money in politics because of their ability to protect donor anonymity.” Open New York Times Link For The Full Article: https://nyti.ms/2qlSkNv

Donald Trump And Mike Pence Enabled By Republicans Have Surrendered Control Of America’s Election, Foreign Policy And Democracy To Russia

Posted in United States with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on May 9, 2017 by sheriffali

AA 1-26

Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have done everything and then some to prevent an independent investigation into Donald Trump’s Russian Ties fearing that they may be implicated in Trump’s Treasonous Acts with Russia. In addition, The House and Senate Intelligence Committees are nothing short of a “sham,” trying to placate the American Public.

 

America’s 17 Intelligence Agencies have all asserted that Russia Hacked The Democratic Party and the Republican Party, however, Russia have only released via Wikileaks fake and damaging information about Hillary Clinton and other Democrats. Notice that no information about Donald Trump and Republicans has been released and that just may be the answer as to why Trump and Republicans are stonewalling any real investigation into Russiagate.

 

Sally Yates May 8, 2017 testimony before Congress whereby she clearly sated the efforts that were undertaken by the Department of Justice and other Intel Personnel warning the dangers of making Michael Flynn “National Security Advisor,” would pose a great danger to America because Flynn was subject to Black Mail by Russia. Even after such dire warnings Donald Trump kept Michael Flynn as National Security Advisor before Flynn resigned or was fired. And, subsequent to the departure of Flynn that is when Mike Pence and others within the Criminal Trump Administration claimed that Flynn was fired for lying to the Vice President. Think about it, you couldn’t find a more lame excuse for which the sole intention was an absolute “Cover-Up.”

 

We were warned by FBI Director James Comey and Former Intelligence Director Clapper that the gravest threat to America is Vladimir Putin and Russia. Putin is hell bent on running America’s credibility worldwide and damaging America’s Democracy and Election Process.

 

Donald Trump and Republicans are more concerned with controlling America via the White House, Senate and House of Representatives; bleeding the America’s 98% to give more wealth to Corporations and the top 2%.

 

If you haven’t really thought about it, “America Is Really In A Crisis Like Never Before.” That is because Republicans that are controlling all of the Federal Government – 5 US Supreme Court Justices; The White House, Senate and House of Representatives cannot Police themselves. They are Liars, Crooks and Thieves and by the time Donald Trump is arrested the damage that would be done to America, it would be almost impossible to rectify and we may very well end up like Russia in 1990 when the Soviet Union Collapsed.

 

If the people can stop being Republicans, Democrats and Independents and for once be Americans First, perhaps, just perhaps, we may be able as “one” people to prevent America from falling into the Abyss.

Former President Barack Obama And Secretary Of State Hillary Clinton Owe Nothing To Anyone, Period!

Posted in United States with tags , , , , , , , , , , on May 3, 2017 by sheriffali

AA 1-10

As a lifelong Democrat, sometimes I am ashamed at some within our Party for their self righteous and misguided behavior. I speak specifically about those within our Party that has openly criticized President Obama for accepting payment for a “Health Care Speech” he will deliver in September 2017 to Cantor Fitzgerald, a Wall Street Firm.

 

And let us not forget the hypocrisy of so many Democrats and their unfounded hate for Secretary Hillary Clinton that cost us the Election and installed the most Crooked, Racist, Con Man into the White House – Liar, Groper And Thief-Donald Trump.

 

President Obama and Secretary Clinton owe nothing to anyone, period. With their Education and Experience, had they not chosen Politics as their Career they both could have been Billionaires, rather than facing and taking abuse for the greater part of their lives.

 

When Barack Obama became President and he chose US Senator Hillary Clinton as Secretary of State, America was in the worst shape since the 1929 Great Depression. George W Bush became President by default and inherited from President Clinton one of the best US Economy in American History. We were at peace with the world and America for the first time had a “Surplus of 2.5 Trillion Dollars. George W Bush, Dick Cheney and the Republican controlled Congress used their governing powers and wrecked America into the dirt. Our Economy was on the verge of failing turning us into a Banana Republic and Internationally, we were one of the most hated countries in the world, after Bush, Cheney and the Republicans ruined our reputation worldwide.

 

President Obama went to work on first taking on the much damaged economy and other productive Policies and Hillary Clinton went out and worked her heart out rebuilding America’s Credibility World Wide.

 

When Hillary Clinton stepped down as Secretary of State America was in a far better position worldwide than what she inherited. Hillary had an approval rating the other side of 68% until she decided to run for President. Then came scheming crooked Bernie Sanders that took in over 200 Million Dollars, used most of it for his own personal gain and except for 2 uncompleted pages of his 2014 Taxes, Bernie Sanders never released any information, the same as Con Man Donald Trump. Sanders claimed during the primaries that his worth was $365,000.00 and he drove an old automobile, Sanders was then as now, a Liar! According to Forbes, Bernie Sanders is worth upwards of 16 Million Dollars and drives a $170,000.00 automobile. And, When Bernie Sanders finally gave up his bid for the Presidency, he was no longer required to release any financial information and to this date, he never did, but scheming Sanders is now complaining about President Obama’s Paid Speech. But he isn’t the only one; others are doing the same while Donald Trump, Trump’s Family and the Republicans are burning down America.

 

Except for Despot Dictators, when Barack Obama’s Presidency ended, economically, America was far better than what he inherited and our Respect around the world was second to none.

 

Those that are complaining about President Obama and that has and continue to complain about Secretary Hillary Clinton, they should take a long hard look in the mirror at their own miserable, hypocritical life.

A Peek Into The White House Swamp Led By Crocodile Con Man Trump And His Numberless Reptiles!

Posted in United States with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on April 4, 2017 by sheriffali

AAAA 1-237

Republicans are not Legislators they are Traitors enabling Donald Trump to expedite his take down of America into the Russian Black Hole Of Treason And Trump’s corruption of Fraud, Nepotism, Emoluments and other Constitutional Violations.

 

Unless or until an Independent Prosecutor is appointed to totally investigate not only the Trump Russian Treasonous Acts but the Fraudulent Republican Suppression and Purging of Minority Votes in the 2016 Election, the United States Foundation – “Democracy And Free And Fair Elections,” will be lost forever, removing America’s credibility, viability and leader of the free world.

 

The Swamp New York Times:

 

“The White House boasted that the release of financial disclosures for dozens of administration officials exemplified President Trump’s “commitment to ensure an ethical and transparent government.” The Friday night document dump did nothing of the sort.

 

The opaque, incomplete filings — which met the bare legal requirements for disclosures — merely raise more questions than they answer about the byzantine dealings of the richest White House in history.

 

Besides, Mr. Trump has no commitment to ethics or transparency. His failure to shed his business ties and release financial records makes him the most suspect, conflicted president in modern history. If the boss doesn’t care about accountability, why should anyone else?

 

Here’s a good reason: Unlike the president, for whom conflict of interest laws don’t apply, staff members could go to jail for actions that affect their financial interests.

 

The Office of Government Ethics spent months pushing Senate-confirmed nominees to resolve the potential conflicts in their disclosures, because they won’t get a hearing, and therefore their jobs, without it. But it has more limited power with Mr. Trump’s White House employees, who did not face a Senate vote. The ethics office reviews these disclosures and can raise red flags as a condition for certifying them. But the White House released them before the ethics office could do so, leaving many questions unanswered.

 

White House employees are required to file the disclosures within 30 days of taking their posts. Most of them blew that deadline, and many missed extended deadlines as well. So how did these officials manage their business dealings during the months they avoided disclosing them?” https://nyti.ms/2nD4ixZ

Donald Trump Has Totally Capitulated To Russia! Vladimir Putin Is On A Killing Spree And Has Recently Killed Many Of His Own! Did Putin Threatened Trump’s Family And Is Putin Indirectly Controlling Trump’s White House And International Policies? Why Are Republicans Silent?

Posted in United States with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 28, 2017 by sheriffali

AAA 1-184

Since November 2016 Vladimir Putin has killed more than 10 of his own Diplomats, some inside of America, Russia and other countries. Most recently a Russian Lawyer that is supposed to testify in New York in April was thrown off the top of a Four Story Building in Moscow. The Russian Lawyer’s testimony has to do with a Russian Bank indirectly controlled by Vladimir Putin.

 

The US Prosecutor in the New York prosecuting the Russian Bank was Preet Bharara who was fired by Donald Trump and now, the status of the prosecution seems to be in doubt. Why would Donald Trump fire the US Attorney weeks before the Russian Lawyer’s testimony, especially when you consider the case against the Russian Bank In New York has to do with “Money Laundering” and other fraudulent activities.

 

Donald Trump, his Campaign and others associated with Trump is presently under investigation by the FBI. However, we must not fail to remember that the Director of the FBI James Comey, is the same person that openly discussed his investigation into Hillary Clinton’s Email but chose to “Hide” the FBI investigation into Donald Trump that has been ongoing since July 2016.

 

Other problems associated with Donald Trump Russian Ties are the obstruction by Republicans Speaker Paul Ryan, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and now Devin Nunes, the House Intel Chair into the Trump investigations. If these people had nothing to hide and they were “True American Defenders,” one would think they would agree to have an “Independent Investigation Into Trump’s Russia Gate,” but both Paul Ryan and Mitch McConnell have totally disavowed any Congressional Investigation, much less an independent investigation. Why?

 

“We the people,” must remember that the “Government should always be by the people and for the people,” and must set aside our Political affiliations and do what is right for Country first. Leaving the Politicians to resolve what could very well turn out to be America’s demise, we are all going to lose.

 

Remember, no other American President in America’s 240 years have every taken the side of a “Foreign Enemy against the United States,” except Donald Trump. The Trillion Dollar Question you must ask yourself is Why?

The Trump/Russia Hearing Puts An End To The Allegation That Clinton Ran A Terrible Campaign

Posted in United States with tags , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , on March 21, 2017 by sheriffali

“To publicized Hillary Clinton’s Email and Benghazi Investigations as  falsely making Hillary as some sort of Criminal and at the same time, “Suppress and Cover-Up” a massive Investigation into Donald Trump Campaign and Russia’s Involvement since July 2016, is not only Hypocrisy, it is blatant Misogyny. The FBI, James Comey, Republicans, The Media, Some Democrats and Independents, should be ashamed and let us hope that they have real “Nightmares” of what Donald Trump is doing to America!” Sheriff Ali

 

[Politicususa] “Pundits and strategists who keep blaming Hillary Clinton for losing while ignoring the impact of Russian interference display a willful blindness that can only be accounted for by a particularly strong emotional bias teetering on hysteria.

 

Sounding a lot like many smug conservatives and some smug liberals, President Trump issued a hopeful, preemptive tweet that the Democrats made up the Russian interference story to cover for their “terrible campaign.”

 

Right. It couldn’t possibly be as all 18 intelligence agencies have repeatedly said: Russia interfered in the 2016 election for the purpose of electing Donald Trump, politically harming Hillary Clinton, and ultimately undermining western democracy.

 

All of the pundits who keep going on and on about Hillary Clinton’s horrible campaign, the conservatives who keep saying that Democrats need to get it together because they had a horrible message, and the liberals who claim Clinton would have won if only she talked about the economy (having covered Clinton’s 2016 campaign, I just want to ask if these people ever listened to Clinton speak because she talked pretty much nonstop about economic issues) should be praised for repeating Donald Trump’s talking points.

 

Donald Trump won the 2016 election by a small 78,000 vote advantage in three states, having lost the popular vote by almost 3 million, and he did that with the help of a hostile foreign power.

 

If the topic of how Democrats lost 2016 is being discussed, the Russian interference should be the lead.

 

To leave this out is to be disingenuous and intellectually dishonest to the point of outing one’s emotional bias.”

Donald Trump is removing Prosecutors that have been the Bastion of upholding America’s Democracy by objectively investigating corruption and they are being replaced with “Trump And The GOP Cronies.”

 

Politico has done an amazing job in connecting the “DOTS” of the Trump Russia Ties using seven charts, please open the link, I promise, you wouldn’t regret it – http://politi.co/2m3t4X4

 

Never before in American History of 240 years has there ever been this level of Treason and Corruption and most amazing, Republicans who always proclaim to be Patriots defending the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, they seem to be “Knee-Deep” with Donald Trump ties to Russia and Trump’s Corruption within the United States.

 

This is a defining and pivotal moment for America because Republicans are controlling the White House, The Senate, The House Of Representatives and 32 Governorships. It is difficult to ascertain what the Republican Voters were or are thinking to have placed “ONE” Party with such outlandish degree of fraud, that has in Trump’s first 50 days as President, damaged the very fabric of America’s Democracy.

 

Those that stand for Honesty, Decency and Democracy, yes, it is a difficult time, but “Americans have always endured and overcame and yes, we shall overcome again.” The Resistance and the Protests must be enlarged and continue with no respite.

 

Months of South Koreans Protests led to the Impeachment and removal of South Korea’s President and the Arrest of Samsung’s CEO for Corruption. If South Korea can do it, so can we!

Wall Street Cronies; Republicans And Donald Trump:

 

 

Wall Street Laws put in place by President Obama to prevent the collapse of America’s Economy that transpired under George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and the Republican Controlled House and Senate 2001-2008, Trump and Republicans are rolling back the protective Laws.

 

In the final analysis it may turn out much easier of Impeaching Donald Trump and prosecuting him for Treason and fraud, however, the bigger task for America is educating the uninformed, ignorant, uneducated and brainwashed, that are loyal Republican Voters, despite their own interests that Republicans simply do not care about. It is called the “Stockholm Syndrome.”

 

Continue to Resist and Protest because as Thomas Jefferson so rightly said; “When Injustice Becomes Law, Resistance Becomes Duty.”
