A New Term to Describe Republicans and Donald Trump, CNN:

from CNN,: https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/31/politics/democratic-debate-highlights/index.html

7 takeaways from the Democratic debate's first night

By Eric Bradner, CNN
Updated 9:20 AM ET, Wed July 31, 2019

__________________________________________________________________________________________

Please scroll down to 3rd part of article : 3. ' A Dark Psychic Force ' Marianne Williamson:

Author Marianne Williamson provided one of the night's most memorable moments when she addressed the water crisis in Flint, Michigan, with a stirring condemnation of environmental racism -- and other candidates' approach to talking about it.

"This is part of the dark underbelly of American society, the racism, the bigotry, and the entire conversation that we're having here tonight -- if you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this President is bringing up in this country, then I'm afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days," she said.

"We need to say it like it is," Williamson said. "It's bigger than Flint. It's all over this country. It's particularly people of color. It's particularly people who do not have the money to fight back, and if the Democrats don't start saying it, why would those people feel they're there for us? And if those people don't feel it, they won't vote for us and Donald Trump will win."

This one sentence says it all:

"This is part of the dark underbelly of American society, the racism, the bigotry, and the entire conversation that we're having here tonight -- if you think any of this wonkiness is going to deal with this dark psychic force of the collectivized hatred that this President is bringing up in this country, then I'm afraid that the Democrats are going to see some very dark days," she said.

Please note these words...."....dark psychic force of collectivized hatred that this President is bringing up in this country..."

Trump's attacks on Cummings and Sharpton are attempts to divert attention from Mueller Report.

shocky 80 pointed this out in this post:

___________________________________________________________________________

So today Monday, Trump started in on Al Sharpton.. Why? As was pointed out this is a direct attempt to get the media off of the Mueller Report. At first, I thought it was a mistake, and that Trump would have to apologize to the City of Baltimore. But it worked and attention went to the "Racist Trump" and away from the Mueller Report..

NO MISTAKE, proof : Today's attack on Al Sharpton. It is a planned attack on people of color to divert attention away from the Mueller Report. Let's argue about ...Trump the Racist.. rather than analyze and discuss the "Mueller Report." Trump cannot attack Mueller successfully because of the difference in their stature and reputation. Mueller is a formal head of the FBI dedicated finding crooks and telling the truth. Trump is a liar and a con artist. Within a couple of days, the focus shifted to this discussion on Trump and racism. A discussion which Trump thinks he can control. That is the reason for the Sharpton attack today. Keep the focus on something other than the Mueller Report and his testimony last week

Racism and Trump is a discussion that Trump thinks he can control. If an apology is needed, it will be made. Anything to get attention away from the fact that Mueller said that Trump could be charged, and convicted of a crime after Trump leaves the office of President of the United States. This statement of truth is coming from a respected former leader of the FBI. Trump needs to change the discussion away from that. So, he doubles down today on attacking Al Sharpton. I thought Trump's earlier attack was a mistake, but I was wrong. It was a calculated attempt to control the media and get the focus away from the truths shown in the Mueller Report and Mueller's testimony to the congressional committees.

I don't think this will work. I think this is stupid and could destroy Trump. But again, it is the future. Also, this is in a way a disgusting and evil example of Trump's abuse of the office he currently hold.

Please list your favorite " Feel Good Movies"

Here are 4 of mine...Some Like it Hot, Blazing Saddles, It's a Wonderful Life, Arsenic and Old Lace

I have seen enough of sad full length movies, and sad documentaries. I would like a list of "feel gooders" to watch whenever. These can be old or new, highly rated or not highly rated. I just would like a list of movies that I know have happy endings and are generally fun to watch.
.
Thanks for your opinions and lists, and any movie that you are sure makes people "feel good", or "happy" qualifies..

Truck Driver stopped for using red sports drink bottle in place of tail-light

https://www.yahoo.com/lifestyle/truck-driver-stopped-by-police-for-using-red-sports-drink-bottle-in-place-of-tail-light-171643313.html

picture at link above, and NO.. I did not make this one up..


A Colorado truck driver got a little creative when it came to dealing with a broken tail light — and a local police department took notice.

Police in the town of Longmont, located around 38 miles outside of Denver, took to Facebook on Tuesday to share the humorous story. An officer had pulled over the driver, who had used duct tape to fasten a red sports drink bottle into the spot reserved for his tail light.

“While we appreciate the ingenuity of this tail light, this is not a permanent solution. Working tail lights prevent accidents,” the Longmont Police Department wrote on Facebook.”If your tail lights are broken, please get them repaired.”

Hopefully, this one statement will unify everyone against Trump.

Donald J. Trump @realDonaldTrump 24m

"Why is so much money sent to the Elijah Cummings district when it is considered the worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there. Where is all this money going? How much is stolen? Investigate this corrupt mess immediately!"


"....worst run and most dangerous anywhere in the United States. No human being would want to live there."

Except for the most racist Trump supporters, this is such an obvious racist statement that it should destroy Trump. For those who were not sure, this is it. Calling a city this, is a reflection of a sick mind. What else is there to say? This is it, and the "bully racist president" has labeled himself because of this for life. Kind of like, "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." or other well known statements. But negative in a way that is horrible and beyond words.

Trump calls for investigation into Obama's "book deal". Trump is scared. Very Scared!

..Think about it. The best Trump can come up with is "Obama's Book Deal" Is that it? Is that all?
Did Obama's daughters have secret meetings with ..."Russians"? Did Obama have approval of a foreign country to get..."dirt" on an opponent? Donald Trump is messing with someone smarter than he is. Mr. Obama is more honest, has more respect, has more dignity, and will defend himself when necessary. He too knows how to attack. Obama could destroy Trump just by telling the truth.

Don Lemon: Trump's take on Fox News is stunning, (Trump says: "Investigation is treason")

Trump claims that Muller's investigation is .."treason." (video is 9min and 50 seconds) early in video Lemon says, ... "If you lie about anything, then you will lie about everything." And that is a perfect description of Donald Trump.

About Stuart G

I thought I knew a lot, and I found out... how little I knew about what I know. And how much more there is to learn, if I listen and read what others have to say.
