It's still all about him! The world leaders are playing him for the fool that he is. it is

stomach-turning. All he wants to do is say that the world leaders like him better than liked Obama. Duarte knows this and he will play it to the hilt because he like other low-self-esteem leaders hate the fact that a black man is more intelligent, more likable than they and what is more, Obama was unafraid of them all.

He will come back saying he made all these billion dollar deals and that will be the end of it There will be no outcomes. We are the laughing stock of the world. Why don't most people understand this? What is it that makes them so blind?

I am sorry. I just do not get Latino or black Trump supporters.

I thought that 'family values' was revered among those groups but those voters just interviewed on MSNBC who are Latino and singing Trump's praises stun me.

So it's official. Alabama voters would rather vote for a pedophile than a Democrat.

My jaw dropped when I heard that interview.

It was just as hard to hear people say they couldn't vote for Hillary because she wasn't "exciting."

That says it all. We want reality TV at all times. We do not care about values, policies, decency, competence, hope, charity, service...we only care about being entertained, excited. We have become Jerry-Springered.

It pains and saddens me. But it makes me want to fight harder.

How the new tax bill might bite the GOP in the butt.

I many people who live in blue states where state and local taxes are high, they may be forced to move to some red area to keep from paying those taxes. That might turn some red states purple ore blue.

Now Trump's bodyguard testifies under oath that the Russian offer of 5 women

to Trump was taken as a joke by both himself and Trump. And the offer was made in the morning. His response was that "we don't do things like that." He also testified that he did go to bed and was not at Trump's room door all night.

My questions

Was there an offer of 4, 3, 2, 1 women made that wasn't taken as a joke?
Since when does an admitted P-grabber turn down the opportunity to grab another one?
Was there one or more offer?
Is there audio or video record of this and any other encounter between Trump and Russian women?

Why isn't FOX accusing Trump of making an apology tour based on his latest

statements about not blaming China for poor trade deals? Is he going to continue to trash the US while on tour? He thinks this kind of talk gets at Obama when in reality it is just making him and the US look ignorant.

We should dispel one big myth about Trump's base.

They came out and voted for his candidates in VA and NJ. They are a solid 30-35% of the population and they are not going anywhere. They don't really care if he accomplishes anything that he promised in the campaign or since. Many when interviewed will tell you they knew he was just being political when he talked about building a wall and making Mexico pay for it. They don't even care if Russia interfered in our elections if it helped elect Trump. They would welcome Putin in a heart beat if they could be sure he wouldn't change his social and economic policies to benefit the people they don't like.

About 50% of his solid 30% base are well off, making plenty of money and will never, ever need a benefit from the Federal government to live at a pretty high standard. They don't really care if taxes are reformed or reduced since they already have all the money they will ever need. They only care that their taxes may go to those they consider undeserving.

The other half of his supporters are poor to lower middle-class working men and women who may or may not be interested in getting a job, or an education. Of course, everyone would like to have a bigger pay check or a job but that is not what is driving their fondness for Trump.

Together they are a group of bigoted, sexist, homophobic, ultra-RW evangelical, racists who will tolerate anything from Trump so long as he demonstrates to them that he too is all of those things.

I was just thinking that what if women all over the world rose up against their dictators and male

fascists? What if our VA election sent a message beyond our borders? Could activist women change the world over a couple of decades? Would it be better?
