Binta Baxter: Trump’s Budget Is a Blueprint for a Banana Republic-Style Military Dictatorship
May 25, 2017 13:15
The overall implication of this budget should have all Americans on alert.
The Trump Administration has officially unveiled its proposed budget to “Make America Great Again,” and by all accounts it’s a total flop. Most news outlets are ignoring the greater implications of what is proposed in the budget itself—the society America would become if the Trump budget became official.
The specific elements of the proposal constitute severe cuts to programs that support the middle class and the poor, like the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP, or food stamps), a move that is worthy of disdain on its own. However, the general sentiments of the proposal suggest a perspective and intention that is far more disturbing and could transform America’s constitutional Republic into a de facto military junta. Is this Trump’s true vision for American greatness?
The Hill reports that the Trump budget…

Neues aus der Gemenschelecke – Vorsicht, bissig!

Aus der GeMENSCHelEcke heute:
Die Beerdigung
Sie trugen ihn zu Grabe,
die Damen hielten Taschentücher bereit,
die Herren machten herbe Gesichter –
an einem trüben Tag im März.
Der Grobian, er war so schwer,
was hatte er für eine fette Zeit!
Nichts gab er ab den armen Verwandten,
wie konnt einer nur so schwer sein – ohne Herz?
Der Damen Röcke flatterten
nervös im Wind,
der Herren Rücken von der steifen Haltung
mächtig lahmten,
wenn es nur bald zu Ende wär!
Wie sinn- und trostlos solche Stunden sind
und nach dem reichlich Leichenmahl
sie gierig-leise zahnten.
Einen Sänger gar konnte sich
der Dicke leisten!
„Ave Maria“ – solch ein seelenreichesLied
für einen geizgen Hurensohn,
für den sie weite Strecken reisten!?
Welch pompös Geleit
für eine Narrengestalt –
und der Magen knurrte schon.
Der Leichenschmaus wenigstens
war reich und angenehm,
da war die Mühe der trauernd Minen

The Treason Trial Of The Century
May 25, 2017 13:07
You would think with all the drama going around Washington these days I would be writing about the possibility of a trial of Trump for treason.
You would be WRONG! (did you trolls on the Right read that? But if the concept of wrong eludes you let me know and I will have a 4 year old explain it to you)
You guys know how much I like history and that I am an opinionated SOB (in case the grammar police are reading…..SOB stands for son of a bitch….in case you were not sure)
The trial was the biggest scandal that has hit the US in its day……it dominated the news during the trial…..
This trial for treason is about the deal with Aaron Burr…..the man was the VP of the nation and he is the one that shot and killed Hamilton in a duel……you see he had dreams of…

Why Now
May 25, 2017 13:05
There’s no way to dodge it
You’re a gymnast at best
You tuck and roll
Hopefully surviving this test
There seems to be a lot
Of losers death and suicide
I know how this feels I survived
To take the test again,I passed by
The skin of my teeth,I know
How it feels, despair is the lite and
Pain is your eyes that help to you see
It’s a hard rain that falls,the life we are living has never been talked about till now
When I Lived it It was behind close Doors and hush hush,fully blown
Life bubble has burst,taking those who
are unwilling to wait,bait and switch
Life hasn’t a answer and it becomes
Kicking ass,taken #’s death and suscide
It’s cold out here even in 90 degree heat
Hell has ice cubes and it’s waiting
For someone else to drink,it’s never
Enough the I’s want more,hopelessly
Hoping…
