The Week That Never Was


There has always been divisions in this country.....different opinions, different ideas, and different views...I have always had a hard time agreeing with any particular opinion, idea, or view.. I saw the differences as a strength.....because at the based of it ...I trusted everyone to be an American.. American Ideals, American justices and American fair play..

Through my life it has been challenged.. but it has ALWAYS won out.... From the worst of Us to the best of Us...Idea about race..capitalism, and political ideologies, and equality always played second fiddle to being an American.. I respected all the difference, because within all the difference there was a commonality of being an American....
The truth of that?...Does it matter? Was it real or imaginary ? It didn't matter to me... I was connected to everybody.. my belief that OUR differences always played second fiddle to OUR being American. Brainwashed or not.. It held it all together for me..

We talk about collusion, tariffs, racism, equality, power of the President...Truth and Lies,
We talk about the rich, the poor, the political parties, religion, choice, institutions, and conspiracies..

Like these are all something, new and different... these the SAME things we have always talked about.
These are the same things..I had seen as OUR strength...because Our commonality of being American would always win out. No matter what i thought about each subject.. I trusted Americans and America.. In truth.. It was MY idea of Patriotism....TRUST IN AMERICA... unfounded or not..

"Foreigners".. who hate America.. will try and say it only my enlightenment...That I Never should have trusted.. Americans are untrustworthy....
They do not know what they speak..They know not of patriotism, loyalty, trust and commonality. In world that lacks trust.. they know not what it feels like to trust.

Well... I HATE Trump...
I hate Trump, because he has robbed me , of my Patriotism..
He has robbed us of Our commonality.. within our differences.
He has robbed me of my Trust.

I thought this week was the final straw... Helsinki. was so evident to everybody..That it would sink Trump, but Trump has been so successful in making it so that we don't trust ourselves..that anything for him is possible..

So.. a cursory retraction.. and then a double down....
it's in the double down.... That that straw broke my back...made it evident.. I have lost my trust..Never had it in Trump.. but the Trust in being American..

The week that Never WAS....

Beginning with Helsinki....that disgrace.. and a slap in face to America.
Thought that was enough.. but the double down...was far more important

First.....the ignorance of a court order to return children to their illegal immigrant parents. Like somehow it was too late and couldn't be done....It couldn't be done In America????? WTF?

Second, the attempt to remove security clearance from past Obama personal.
that disagreeing with the President was grounds to do that .. that disagreement was subversion and collusion... That's well and good... like it means anything to those he's removing clearance from, when it doesn't.. but YOU IDIOTS don't see the real reason.. It was a power shot, over the bow of the Republican party to stay in line.. the power of the presidency to remove security clearance from Republicans that disagrees with him.. A leverage so great..it would hard for any Republican to ignore.

Third... the changing of the official Washington record of Putin stating that he wanted Trump to be elected. and that he instructed his government personal to help in that endeavor. It has been wiped off the "official" record.
the double down with the tweet that Russian interference will occur in the 2018 election to promote Democrats?? WTF?

And finally and the most disturbing.. is Trump statement to supporters to NOT believe what you hear and read..
Not to believe your own eyes and ears..

Let's not forget.. this has also been a week of the Cohen tapes.. which may not prove anything.. substantial in itself.... but PROVES that Trump LIED.. Lied with a straight face.. Like he ALWAYS LIES

Also the FISA warrant.. 400 pages...of explanation and investigation into why Carter Page had to be surveiled.. It's ironic that somehow this FISA Warrant is tainted when NOT a single person defends Carter Page, but Carter Page. Yet they accuses the FISA warrant of being biased, and prejudicial towards Trump.
So it goes...How you can't believe your eyes and ears..?
That the FISA Warrant is tainted about a Trump.. but not about the subject matter Carter Page.
That the FISA warrant was executed. before anyone even knew the name Mueller. and before the election.even took place..An election in which Hillary was "suppose" to win, What would have been the point then for the Warrant?..
That evidence presented.. went back over 5 years...... before Trump was even a candidate.

The Supreme Court nominate, who has a tendency to believe that a duly elected President is not subject to same laws the rest of us are.. YOU buy THAT?
Do you believe TRUMP is US.. the only US that matters?

But you see.. no matter what it is.. It's about TRUMP.. It's always ABOUT TRUMP.
You see as long as it about TRUMP...It's Not about US...When is it going to be about US and just US? Or more importantly.. is there an US anymore?

This is what happens when you roll the national chief exec and the head of state into one office.

Makes it a lot tougher to dump the guy.

In a parliamentary system the PM would have been tossed by his caucus promptly if he had done a Helsinki.

What were the FF's thinking when they designed this?

    Quoting  :

I wish getting rid of Trump would solve the problem.. but it's only a start..
It will take a new generation to get rid of the problems he caused.

In this blog... I have not spoken of the TRUTH of my TRUST, only what my trust meant to me.. The realization that my trust was just a fantasy, has been exposed by Trump...I will not get it back..

Denying the obvious....Makes it now, so i can't put trust in a lot of my fellow American.. I don't blame Trump for that, he just exposed it. my trust in them was always just a fantasy.
The problem of Trump can be solved in his lifetime....but the real question is
... will it be solved in our lifetime.?

Whether what Made America Great was the fantasy of America ,we lived in...Or the reality that America was great because of it's ideals and it's people and it's resources.. either way it's been destroyed......no way for US to get it back, but maybe future generations can find it, and "Make America Great Again"

Trump has destroyed a lot.. but his real destruction has been the "idea" of America.. we can do things to get back America... but it's going to be tough to get back the "idea" of America.

    Quoting  :

The Founding Farther... had a Reganism in them... Trust with verification..
The founding father gave Americans the benefit of the doubt.. that the american collective mind was superior to the individual.
The founding Fathers were far more religious than we are today.. They believed in the innate values of honesty and integrity and a belief in GOD.. to overcome power and self-promotion.
What you have said is true.... your failure to see it's truth.... is what I challenge you about.

I doubt the founding fathers trusted each other..but they trusted in the commonality of man...They trusted that The People.. were more qualified to determined who they trusted than any MAN was qualified to tell them who to trust..
They didn't trust each other ..but they trusted the people to make that decision of who to trust.

Our country was based on Trust... You can trust NO ONE....but you CAN TRUST everyone..for over two centuries every president respected the Trust given to them, by the forefathers.. that required they prove their trustworthiness. In different degrees each president respect that trust, even if they didn't live up to it.

Simple idea really.. they gave US the tools.. to make that happen. We abided by what was given...

Trump comes along and destroys America.. by saying you can trust him... but you can't trust everyone.

So lets pretend that Trump is doing the right thing, that gets you all you want...
wealth, world power, American elitism, punishes those who disagree with you and disagrees with US.
Elevates us to the greatest POWER EVER... He makes America GREAT..

Would it all be worth it.. The lies, the underhandedness, the blackmail, The hiding, the distrust in America and Americans. the lost of trust, and the FEAR that someone else is going to take it from you, like you took it from everyone else....... Would it all be worth it?

I always wonder what the German people would have thought of Hitler.. had he won World War II.. and had given them everything he promised.

Is the only failure........ the failure of losing?

    Quoting  :

Non critical thinker, biased, prejudiced, faulty, and incomplete....

You are all those things wrapped up in one..

Obstruction to you is disagreement....that's all it takes to obstruct.. give in or obstruct..... that the choice you give to Americans.

Democrats obstructed in regards to voter rights
Democrats obstructed in regards to equality
Democrats obstructed in regards to healthcare.
Democrats obstructed in regards to tax reform
Democrats obstructed with entitlement reform
Democrats obstructed in regards to illegal immigration
Democrats obstructed in regards to DACA
Democrats obstructed with sanctuary cities
Democrats obstructed with an impartial, non-political Supreme Court.
Democrats obstructed with taking children away from parents
Democrats obstructed with "Foreign Policy"
Democrats obstructed with the alienation of allies
Democrats obstructed with Russian friendship
Democrats obstructed with regulations and laws that protect.. where we live, what we eat, and the air we breathe.
Democrats obstructed with the wealthy and capitalism
Obstruct with the freedom of the Press
Obstruct with the separation of powers

Yes..... by your definition... Democrats obstruct like Hell......

How much do you want... a conservative President, a conservative House, a conservative Senate... that is obstructed by a minority Democrats.. That can't get anything done.. Maybe you should look at Republican obstruction.. Obstruction they did to Obama... and how many Republican didn't get the memo that obstruction is not a method.... it's JUST POLITICAL...
Blame the Republicans that are obstructing you..... Democrat didn't get a memo.. they think they are just doing their job.

You got it all.. and it's NOT ENOUGH..... because it will NEVER be enough.
When you got it all.. and it's NOT ENOUGH.. There is only one choice.. that is... you lose it all.. don't blame it on Democrats when that happens.... blame it on YOURSELF

Actualy I tend to look at who's the most vulnerable.. and try to stand up for them..

but you fricken idiots don't realize the peril you put yourself in....

the Republican party can't survive this.. They will Never in the next twenty get the majority in all houses and the presidency.

My brother who's a trump supporters ( who amazingly lives in California) thinks it will be amazing when the Republicans keep the senate and houses in 2018... he's a fricken idiot too.
What. will the Democrats say then? He spoken of Sanders and that democrat socialist from New York coming to Kansas to support a Democrat candidate.
I told him... those socialist idiots don't realize... that was the kiss of death in Kansas, But the Republican idiots don't realize that Trump support for the Republican candidate is ALSO the kiss of death... EVEN IN KANSAS! It's a stand off in Kansas of idiots. You want to wins now? I say Trump was four years too early.. You want to win NOW.. Say F*ck them all...
