Trump You Are President Elect of America, Not President Of The People

Notice EAR PIECE...Russia Prompts?
Dear Donald J Trump:

Today it became official, you are the President of America.  However, we at this moment in history are not the United States of America, and you are not the President of the people.  Most of us hate you, despise you, don't trust you, or are just flat out scared to death of what your Presidency is going to do to the people you are supposed to serve.  The very concept of you serving anyone or anything other than Donald J Trump and his interests would be laughable if it were not so scarily laughable. You have spent your entire life thinking everything is all about the Donald, and you have spent your entire life stooping to any level in your quest to feed your own ego.

Your zealots masquerading as pundits on various and assorted manipulated news channels tell us we must accept your presidency, must get over our anger and unite behind you and your agenda for America...that is not going to happen.   Most civilized human beings here and around the world find everything about you repugnant, find that your views on the most important issues of our time run contrary to our beliefs.  You are perceived to be the Modern Day reincarnation of Adolph Hitler, your cabinet choices a rebirth of the Third Reich on steroids.   Under your leadership, World War III is no longer something we guard against, but a likely probability.   You in your four years will more than likely lead America into War, destroy our standing in the world for decades to come, and possible set Global Climate Change on a course that will lead to Earth becoming just another dead planet flying through the cosmos devoid of all life.

Paul Ryan, Mitch McConnell have pledged to work with you in a war on 79 Million Baby Boomers, Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security on the proverbial chopping block to pay for more tax cuts for the Uber Rich under the guise that they will create more good paying jobs.  First, Reaganomics and Trickle Down Economics did not and will not work.   The rich got a lot richer, while the average working stiff has been treading water now for almost 40 years, at best their wages stagnant as we struggle to keep our heads above water.  Additionally, we the working people have paid into the program our entire lives, we PAID THE PREMIUMS for both these safety nets meant to take care of us in our Golden Years...now, you are willing to break your campaign promises and allow Paul Ryan to steal those benefits away from us?

You seem to be at war with every person in the 99 percent, including those whom you catered favor with during your run for President, feeding them your pablum out on the Campaign Trail in an Act that would put PT Barnum to shame...they believed you, and now with that smirk on your face, you are (with your decisions) laughing in their faces, thinking to yourself, "you stupid shills don't even realize what I am about to do to all of you, you are nothing to me but sheep to the slaughter who have unwittingly followed the siren song into troubled waters that will see most of you drown under the Tyranny of my reign.  

You don't love America, never have...Donald is incapable of loving anyone or anything other than himself, and the majority of us who voted this saw through your thin veil of supposed Patriotism which is why you lost the Popular Vote by almost 3 million people.   The margin of Hillary Clinton's win would have been far great if not for voter suppression, and the interference of Russia, both couple with your treason to this nation.  Yes, I am saying it...you are guilty of treason, and I shall go to my grave praying each and every day that you are brought to trial on this charge, found guilty and given the maximum penalty under the law, a sentence of death.

Immigration Reform should not include deporting 12 million people, some of whom (DREAMERS) know no other country than America.   Fines, penalties and other such reprisals for breaking our laws are reasonable, but the tearing apart of families, the ruthless gathering up of human beings like they are cattle for deportation...that is not America, does not represent our values.   Build your wall, and "We The People" will tear it down.   Start gathering up undocumented immigrants, and we will form a new Underground Railroad to spirit these humans to a Safe Haven, hide them from our brutal regime.   

If you and the putrid far right evangelicals think we as a nation are going backwards when it comes to LGBT Rights and marriage equality, guess again.   Watch how fast America will go from being the loyal opposition, the resistance willing to stand up against your despot ways to a full fledged rebellion with millions upon millions taking to the streets in open hostile resistance to what would be an open attempt at Genocide of those's who's lifestyles, love choices and sexual identity run contrary to your perceived moral authority and superiority.  

On this and so many other issues of importance as relates to human dignity "We the People" have come to far, made to much forward progress to let you or anyone else push us backwards.  We will stand strong, and if necessary will move from resistance to full out opposition of those wishing to oppress us.  You have gathered together the most Anti-LGBT cabinet possible, your intentions clear in your selections, and we are donning our armor, are prepared to push back on this and so many other issues.  Arrest as subversives, and it will be a badge of honor we will wear proudly.

Women for decades have shouted from the rooftops "Keep your hands and your laws off our bodies". Now they are looking at a man who pretends to be President who shouts from the rooftops, "Grab em by the pussies!"  You've said in a TV interview that women should be PUNISHED for having an abortion, but you were fine with paying for an abortion when your Mistress got pregnant...no hypocrisy there!  

Even God gives all of us "Freedom of Choice" our decisions on Judgement Day between ourselves and our God.  The rabid right wing evangelicals, Republicans and you need to stop trying to legislate your morals onto the rest of the nation...quite frankly the morals of all of you repulse the majority of Americans, and the hypocrisy you exhibit is astounding as you look down upon us from on high and say, "Do as I say, not as I do".  We'll just leave the names of Dennis Hastert and Mark Foley here, and remind everyone that both Senator McCain and Newt Gingrich had no problems carrying on affairs while married and members of Congress.

Mother Earth is in crisis, Global Warming very real, yet you have put together a cabinet of Climate Deniers who are bent on sucking out of the earth every last ounce of Fossil related Energy regardless of the folly, regardless of the additional damage that will be done to the planet traveling down this path.  Every citizen of America, every citizen of the world needs to take a pledge to become Earth Warriors, doing anything and everything within our power to oppose people like you who put profits above the only planet we have, who are willing to be contributors to Global Warming in your quest to become every richer even if it means the death of the only planet we have.

You will occupy the White House for a time...guessing far less than four years as most of us fully expect you to be impeached, but you will never be OUR PRESIDENT.    In your cabinet choices, in your "Thank You Tour" you have shown you are anything but a Uniter, have shown your intent to rule with an iron fist.  In your world, there is Donald Trump, and those fool hardy enough to follow him, and enemies.   I stand tall, and am proud to stand with those that are against you, who will oppose your reign of terror with our last breath if necessary.

You won the White House tonight, but you did not and never will win the hearts and souls of decent Americans.

America, We Had a Good Run...

Like many Americans, I was vested in this past Presidential Election, was looking forward to the progress we would make with a Democratic Senate, Hillary Clinton in the White House, and for the first time in 42 years, a Supreme Court where liberal progressive thinkers were in the majority on the bench.  On November 8th I woke up early, had my morning coffee then walked up the street and around the corner to our local library to cast my vote...Straight Blue Ticket from top to bottom, and then went for a walk on a beautiful sunny day with my camera, my step light, not a care on the horizon as I strolled along the Hudson River.

When dusk arrived, evening darkness settling in  ordered in food and got myself settled on the sofa ready to watch the returns coming in, a bottle of Champagne in the refrigerator ready to be uncorked when the News made it official that for the first time ever Americans could say, "Congratulations Madam President".  The bottle of champagne still takes up space in my frig, the cork never popped, the celebration replaced by a deep sadness as the reality that Donald J. Trump had won the Electoral College votes necessary to be our next President tried to sink in.

Some six weeks later, the reality is far worse than any of us thought it could ever be, the man now President Elect far worse than the monster we had seen out on the Campaign Trail.  Some have moved on, accepted what will be, returned to their daily lives, struggling to pay their bills realizing that for them not much has changed, or will change with the changing of the guard in Washington, DC.   Myself...I am having a hard time accepting the unacceptable, frustrated that our Government is far more concerned with a "Peaceful Transition of Power" than addressing what was not, is not a "Free and Fair" election, as even those in our own party seem to be complicit in the betrayal of us. Where is the backbone of our party, their will to fight and take a stand?

Trump'ers screaming at us on Twitter, "Get over it, YOU LOST! Stop your whining and accept it, Trump is your President."

No, he is not.  Donald J, Trump is the antithesis of everything I am, everything that I have believed in for 60 years.  As an abuse survivor, the man pushes every one of my buttons, has brought back those silent screams and memories of things from so long ago that I thought were put away.  I read his tweets, or see him on the news, and find myself being triggered almost 24 hours a day, sleep fitful and filled once again with nightmares of things I wish my eyes had never seen.

My urge is to run away and hide, sell everything I own and just disappear...a knee jerk reaction honed in a childhood filled with abuse.  Reality finds room in the maelstrom of my emotions and I realize running means the abuser wins...so I stay, hoping for a chance to take a stand, to fight for that which I know is right.

It is Saturday morning at just after 3AM...I should be in bed sound asleep, but I feel like an inmate sitting on death row knowing that America as we knew it will be executed on Monday when the Electoral College casts its votes...I am hoping for a miracle, praying for Obama to step in and make it all right again, while knowing deep down in my heart that nothing can stop this train from hell from leaving the station, frightened at what is to come.

The recounts we counted on to set the record straight were halted by courts controlled by Republicans.  The CIA and FBI admitting that Russia interfered in the Election, but claiming not enough so to throw the election to Trump.  Hello, he lost the Popular Vote by almost 3 million voters, and won four crucial battle ground states by less than .00006 percent of the Popular Vote, but lets all pretend his margin of victory was enough that we can dismiss the deliberate interference of a Foreign Power in our elections.  The hope of the Electoral College receiving a briefing by the CIA dashed, and Hamilton Voters willing to vote their conscience shy by almost 20 dashes our hopes of a miracle come Monday...our fate is set, America as we knew about to die.

Old song lyrics racing through my mind, "Bye bye Miss American Pie, drove my Chevy to the levy but the levy was dry..."  you know the song, or at least a large number of you do.  Monday is the day the music will die, the day that a fascist President begins his war on immigrants, Muslims, working people and America's elderly, and lets not forget a war on the only planet we have as Climate Deniers in his cabinet roll back rules intended to slow Global Warming in the name of Big Oil as Sarah Palin's Army once again begins to chant, "Drill Baby Drill."

My Lord, why has thou forsaken me?...I know, a rhetorical question since the Evangelicals have told us already that Trump's elevation to President is all a part of God's grand plan.   Are you kidding me? The man was recorded saying "Grab them by the pussy!" and freely and openly stirs the passions of racist hatred at every appearance on the Campaign Trail and "Victory Tour"...can someone from the religious right explain this to me as I really just don't get it...the man is everything that Christians supposedly would find repugnant, and yet you supported him in numbers that are staggering.  Did you hate Obama and Hillary so much that you felt the Anti-Christ was a better choice?

People are saying we let Barack Obama down, and that is true.  More importantly, we let America and everything it is supposed to represent down.  Everyone who played a part in this tragic charade has blood on their hands, owns the role of Judas who sold his soul for 35 pieces of silver.  For all of us, "I'm sorry America".

I leave you with this old protest song that brought me solace in my early years as I tried to deal with the turmoil that was the 60's, a time when it seemed like we were on the brink of destruction, the America we knew a shadow about to vanish in the wind.  A good cry clears the mind, lets us reconnect to our heart.  Have a good cry and pray for America, it may be our only hope of a miracle in our hour of need.

Let's Make January 20th (Trump Inauguration Day) a National Day of Mourning...Protest in Black

Greetings America:

I am just one lone activist and Hillary Supporter living here in Rockland County NY.  Myself and others on Twitter have been discussing in Direct Messages a need to organize a MAJOR 50 State Protest on Inauguration Day...the theme..."National Day of Mourning" where all protesters would be encouraged to arrive at protest sites dressed in black as we Mourn on the day that Donald J Trump officially becomes President of the United States.

We know this can be done...there is a 50 State Protest being organized for this Saturday December 10 and a Million Woman March is being planned in Washington DC the day after the Inauguration.  So the will and the organizers are out there...we just need them to step in and help a small handful of Activists from Twitter in making it happen.  We need to take the focus off of Donald Trump on January 20th, and put the media attention on protesters who are mourning in all 50 states!

If you are someone, or know someone who can get this project off the ground, and help it gain National attention and momentum, please DM @BeChangeToday over on Twitter, or leave information in the comments section of this blog article.

Donald J Trump is Not a Ticking Time Bomb, He's Exploding Right Before Our Eyes

Donald Trump is Exploding Atomic Bomb
Last night, Saturday Night Live gave us a hysterically funny, and spot on humorous rendition of Donald Trump extremely disturbing Twitter addiction.  Instead of laughing with the rest of the nation, Trump ran to Twitter and hurled vexatious venom at the show, and specifically Alex Baldwin who does a spot on impersonation of "The Donald".   First thought...how can we as a nation put a man in the White House who's skin is so thin that he starts fights with a Late Night Comedy Show?  Can we say "pick your battles" Mr. Trump, followed closely by "he's not my president, and never will be my president."   Never will the words President Trump cross my lips, even if he does water boarding or some other unlawful extreme means of torture.

As if this was not bad enough, the man went on Twitter this morning threatening every manufacturing firm in America with a 35 percent tariff if they relocate a plant outside the borders of the United States of America.  Not even President yet, and throwing down the gauntlet, threatening what amounts to a Trade War with the rest of the world seems more than risky...will be interesting to see how the stock market reacts to this on Monday morning.   If I were a manufacturer contemplating building a plant in America, would seriously reconsider such an investment under such a hostile environment.   More importantly, if Trump starts a trade war by imposing exorbitant tariffs on imported goods, what is China (who holds in excess of a trillion dollars of our debt) going to do in the way of retaliation?

Media says we have never seen a President like this before, and that is putting it mildly.  From the moment he won the Electoral College, Donald Trump has done nothing but alienate those he is supposed to represent, while upsetting the diplomatic process in the name of making himself ever richer, using the White House as his new Corporate Marketing Department.  You could not create a more offensive list of cabinet members than Trump has put forward each person on the list worse in one way or another than the one before.  Anti-Choice, Anti Marriage Equality, Anti LGBT, bigots, racists, and Climate Deniers...pick your poison, most of his picks have as a part of who they are one or more of these self identifiers.   Instead of attempts at unifying Americans, Trump is telling us in his picks that you are either on his team, or you are the enemy.  

Lest any one still doubts it, Donald J Trump more and more appears to be a modern day reincarnation of Adolf Hitler in the flesh, poised short of a miracle of becoming the 45th President of the United States, and if you listen closely, you can hear his national call to arms as he prepares us for a war that we don't want, but will be forced to fight.   This is not the sour grapes of a Hillary Supporter, but rather an accurate look into a future that suddenly appears very bleak for our nation, and for the millions of working poor who call America home.

Is there any doubt that Donald Trump, Paul Ryan and the Republican Party are planning to wage a war of sorts on the poor, the unfortunate, and the elderly?  They want to eliminate Obama Care, take away health care for 22 Million citizens.   They want to eliminate and/or privatize the Medicaid Medicare system...never mind the fact that 79 Million Baby Boomers have paid into this system their entire working careers, counting on having a modicum of health coverage in their old age.  The same is planned for Social Security...again, something that 79 Million Baby Boomers have paid into the system their entire working career, their payments into the system matched by their employer.   Tax cuts are going mostly to those already rich, and several million Americans in the Middle Class will actually see their taxes going up.  These actions amount to a war on America's working poor.

On the International Stage, Donald Trump is setting the stage for war as well.  A prime example of this was his phone call to Taiwan which has upset a diplomatic agreement reached with China under President Ronald Reagan back in the early 80's.  As if that were not enough, he upset India by having a friendly chat with their sworn enemy...it should be noted here, that both of these calls were made to countries where Trump the corporation is pursuing and or building Luxury Hotel Projects.   The list goes on...he spoke to the leader of Turkey, and then miraculously his Istanbul project sees all of its problems disappear, same in the Philippines.   Diplomacy should not revolve around what is in the best interest of Trump Enterprises, but that is exactly what we are seeing since he became the President Elect.   

It is very scary times when people encourage their children to avoid serving in our Military...not because they are unpatriotic, but because the thought of Donald J Trump as 'Commander in Chief" scares the hell out of them.  His stacking his cabinet with at least 4 or 5 Generals, his willingness to make a disgraced General Secretary of State, his wanting to place another General in the position of Secretary of Defense whose nickname is "Mad Dog", and who is the anti-thesis of a civilian, could even be called a warmonger who had publicly stated killing is kind of fun.  

America's Alt Right has given this nation a monster who we thought was a ticking time bomb...instead, he is showing us each and every day that he is a Bomb Exploding right before our eyes, and in doing so, he threatens to destroy our country...he must be stopped using any and all legal means available to "We The People".

Voter Recounts Raising Serious Questions About Integrity of Election

This Man STOLE ELECTION, Not My President!
So it is official...the recounts in certain states have begun, and because we are being denied a hand recount of the votes, questions will linger even after Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania have finished the task.  Which begs the question, WHAT ARE THEY HIDING...a question that takes on more urgency when states are downgrading the number of votes Donald J Trump received even before the recounts begin.   

Of course the various counties in Wisconsin that have changed their final vote tallies are wanting to claim...INNOCENT HUMAN ERROR...we don't think so.   It is believed by many in America that there has been deliberate manipulation of the vote to put Trump in the White House.   Couple this with the FBI's Comey interference, Russia's hacking of our election, and the Russian aided leaks from Wikileaks, and we as a nation have to come to but one conclusion...THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN by the Republicans with help from Putin.  That reality should not be allowed to stand, but in the name of a "Peaceful Transition of Power" is a reality that will stand, a reality that has threatened the very foundation stones of our American Democracy.

In Wisconsin, a Republican Judge is denying a paper recount...even more disturbing, why are 19 counties denying re-counters access to the paper ballots for voter verification purposes...we have a right to know the number of these ballots, and do they match up to the number of supposed votes submitted to the state....three counties already greatly downgraded the number of votes that were reported for Donald J. Trump.

Meanwhile, Trump is trying to stop the Michigan re-count in its tracks with a legal challenge filed by his legal team late yesterday afternoon.   If he is confident in his win, why try to stop a re-count...could it be he knows he could lose this state when all votes are DOUBLE CHECKED?

Those of us who are wanting to verify that our Election Process is fair and that every vote counts (fat chance with Electoral College) are also running into a great deal of turbulence in Pennsylvania as well.  Donald Trump lost the Popular Vote by over 2.5 MILLION votes, and around 70,000 votes in a handful of battleground states will put him in the White House..."We the People" deserve these recounts, deserve to know that he won those states...I will not use the word fairly, as outside agitators stole the 2016 elections with Russia leading the attack.

Yes, these recounts will probably not see Hillary Clinton seeing enough change in the votes to give her the White House, but if the margins in these states are much smaller, it could get the Electoral College voters in those states cause to consider just who they cast a vote for when the vote is taken later this month...Donald Trump is not qualified to be President,and there is more than ample evidence to show this was a RIGGED Presidential Election.

Worse Than Conflicts in Interest, Is Maniac President Elect Moving Us Closer To Hitler Like Oppression Here In America?

Ugly Trump Neck Matches Personality
So, how do you feel about fascism, Nazi sympathizers and the KKK taking over the White House, and every faction of our Federal Government?  Welcome to a Donald Trump Presidency!  In his latest attempt at stifling our First Amendment Rights, the Orange Menace himself tweeted out that the burning of an American Flag should be punishable by up to one year in prison and/or loss of our American Citizenship.  Let the fear and loathing begin! 

As if this were not enough, his various and assorted picks for his cabinet and other important positions gets scarier by the day.  Trump has drained the swamp and open the valve to the cesspool as his hand picked pieces of shit prepare to take over the task of running this already great country...the harm they are about to cause frightening in scope and vision.  Medicare/Medicaid, Social Security, LGBT Rights are all now officially on the chopping block, as well as all those pesky fair housing laws that protect against discrimination.  

As if this is not enough, can we quit white washing (pun intended) Bigots, racists, Nazi's and other malcontents of the far far right by referring to them in the media as the Alt Right?   These monsters of our American Society seem to have but one goal...returning America to the good old days of WHITE SUPREMACY and making any one who is non white, or non Christian second or even third class citizens.

If all this does not bring visions of Adolf Hitler and the Third Reich quickly to mind it should.   Trump's rise to power, his use and manipulation of Mass Media are racing down a path the world has seen before, a path that brought us World War II and the Holocaust, and if he is left unchecked, we are on the verge of repeating the darkest period of Human History as Satan's Demon-spawn marches us into a World War that we will not win.  When that war is over and finished, America as we knew it will be gone, and our position as the Super Power of the World will be over, our nation kicked into the dustbin of failed states.

On a separate note.

A simple Google Search or two quickly gives you the addresses of almost every Donald J Trump holding/building in the world.  If every citizen of America can access this information, so can every terrorist in the world who is looking for a target that would hurt America.   Donald J Trump becoming President of the United States of America has made everyone of his properties a target, and all of those who are renting office space in those buildings, who own apartments, condos in those buildings are foolish if they do not accept this very basic harsh truth.     As long as this horrid monster remains in the White House, none of his property are safe from becoming a target of those bent on doing harm to America.
