#2 THINGS I HATE ABOUT TRUMP: PUSSY GRABBING

Day 2 of Things I Hate About Trump

He talks about grabbing women by the pussy and sexual assault as if he is entitled to women. Billy Bush lost his job over this but we elect Trump, the person who made the sexual assault claim, as President. Yup, the world has gone insane. We normalized misogyny and set the world back over 20+ years. The worst part for me was that Trumpsters on the Trump Train were still willing to overlook his severe character flaws, this disgusting behavior was OK with them. Let me make it clear this “locker room” talk is offensive on every level. Listen to the entire disgusting exchange here or see transcript below.

Dialog:

Donald J. Trump: You know and …

Unknown: She used to be great. She’s still very beautiful.

Trump: I moved on her, actually. You know, she was down on Palm Beach. I moved on her, and I failed. I’ll admit it.

Unknown: Whoa.

Trump: I did try and fuck her. She was married.

Unknown: That’s huge news.

Trump: No, no, Nancy. No, this was [unintelligible] — and I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping.

She wanted to get some furniture. I said, “I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.” I took her out furniture —

I moved on her like a bitch. But I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look.

Billy Bush: Sheesh, your girl’s hot as shit. In the purple.

Trump: Whoa! Whoa!

Bush: Yes! The Donald has scored. Whoa, my man!

[Crosstalk]

Trump: Look at you, you are a pussy.

[Crosstalk]

Trump: All right, you and I will walk out.

[Silence]

Trump: Maybe it’s a different one.

Bush: It better not be the publicist. No, it’s, it’s her, it’s —

Trump: Yeah, that’s her. With the gold. I better use some Tic Tacs just in case I start kissing her. You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star, they let you do it. You can do anything.

Bush: Whatever you want.

Trump: Grab ’em by the pussy. You can do anything.

Bush: Uh, yeah, those legs, all I can see is the legs.

Trump: Oh, it looks good.

Bush: Come on shorty.

Trump: Ooh, nice legs, huh?

Bush: Oof, get out of the way, honey. Oh, that’s good legs. Go ahead.

Trump: It’s always good if you don’t fall out of the bus. Like Ford, Gerald Ford, remember?

Bush: Down below, pull the handle.

Trump: Hello, how are you? Hi!

Arianne Zucker: Hi, Mr. Trump. How are you? Pleasure to meet you.

Trump: Nice seeing you. Terrific, terrific. You know Billy Bush?

Bush: Hello, nice to see you. How you doing, Arianne?

Zucker: Doing very well, thank you. Are you ready to be a soap star?

Bush: How about a little hug for the Donald? He just got off the bus.

Zucker: Would you like a little hug, darling?

Trump: O.K., absolutely. Melania said this was O.K.

Bush: How about a little hug for the Bushy? I just got off the bus.

Zucker: Bushy, Bushy.

Bush: Here we go. Excellent. Well, you’ve got a nice co-star here.

Zucker: Yes, absolutely.

Trump: Good. After you.

[Break in video]

Trump: Come on, Billy, don’t be shy.

Bush: Soon as a beautiful woman shows up, he just, he takes off. This always happens.

Trump: Get over here, Billy.

Zucker: I’m sorry, come here.

Bush: Let the little guy in here, come on.

Zucker: Yeah, let the little guy in. How you feel now? Better? I should actually be in the middle.

Bush: It’s hard to walk next to a guy like this.

Zucker: Here, wait, hold on.

Bush: Yeah, you get in the middle, there we go.

Trump: Good, that’s better.

Zucker: This is much better. This is —

Trump: That’s better.

Zucker: [Sighs]

Bush: Now, if you had to choose honestly between one of us. Me or the Donald?

Trump: I don’t know, that’s tough competition.

Zucker: That’s some pressure right there.

Bush: Seriously, if you had — if you had to take one of us as a date.

Zucker: I have to take the Fifth on that one.

Bush: Really?

Zucker: Yup — I’ll take both.

Trump: Which way?

Zucker: Make a right. Here we go. [inaudible]

Bush: Here he goes. I’m gonna leave you here.

Trump: O.K.

Bush: Give me my microphone.

Trump: O.K. Oh, you’re finished?

Bush: You’re my man, yeah.

Trump: Oh, good.

Bush: I’m gonna go do our show.

Zucker: Oh, you wanna reset? O.K.

TRUMP’S TYRANNY

I can’t keep up. If feels as if not a day has gone by since Trump decided he would run for President, that he has not said or done something inappropriate, ignorant, or just plan crazy. He is unhinged and not stable and I don’t know what is taking so long in regards to removing him from office. The majority of Americans did not vote for him and day by day more and more people recognize his ignorance and lack of experience for the job at hand put the US at great risk.

His latest was a reactionary response to Sessions’ Russian ties and eventually recusal from any future Russian investigation. Supposedly he went off to Mar-a-Lago, what he calls the Winter WH and the rest of the world call an unsecured time bomb, in a HUGE huff. After all he is a petulant child who cannot take criticism and is the epitome of a sore loser–and sore winner for that matter. It did not take long before the latest twitter rant began.

Donald J. Trump 

✔@realDonaldTrump

Terrible! Just found out that Obama had my “wires tapped” in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!

Donald J. Trump 

✔@realDonaldTrump

Is it legal for a sitting President to be “wire tapping” a race for president prior to an election? Turned down by court earlier. A NEW LOW!

Donald J. Trump 

✔@realDonaldTrump

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

His source for all of these INSANE tweets seems to be Bat $*** Crazy Brietbart and a right wing nutter. Mark Levin. Yup….He accused an outgoing President with an untarnished reputation without evidence. The majority of people around the world erupted with outrage and the overwhelming knowledge that their suspicions he was crazy were true. Even Republicans jumped on board. Yes, his admin tried to put a spin on it. Claiming other sources like the NYT had the information but the “other” reputable sources were just reporting on his crazy behavior.

Did he open the door to a full blown investigation?

Will twitter be his downfall?

A Federal wiretap would have only been permitted with probable cause?

Is he insane?

Thankfully, with all the questions the one question the majority of Americans were able to write off, was “Is there chance that Obama was involved”. That option was quickly removed when common sense and actual facts were introduced into the equation.

Then there is his crazy cronies who are ill prepared for the roles he has assigned them. So much for all of those Republicans who said, “Wait, we know he is crazy but he will surround himself with smart people.” Wellllll, along with a Russian investigation, I want a full on investigation into how Carson passed his medical boards because I can’t get over his ignorance. He had this to say in his address to HUD employees yesterday, March 6, 2017:

“There were other immigrants who came in the bottom of slave ships, who worked even longer, even harder, for less, but they too had a dream that one day their sons, daughters, grandsons, granddaughters, great grandsons, great granddaughters might pursue prosperity and happiness in this land,” said Carson, who is black. 

Seriously, you cannot make this $*** up. Wake up, people. This is not our America and we are in danger with this man in office.

Day 42/43 TWITTER WILL BE HIS DEMISE

Yesterday, the story was all about Jeff Sessions lying under oath claiming he had no contact with Russia during the election. When the media uncovered 2 points of contact, the spin was —well, that was not in his capacity as a Trump advisor, it was in his role as a Senator. Unfortunately for him, his answer to Franken during his confirmation hearing was damming and taped so you can review it for yourself.

Social media and mainstream media spent the day guessing about his motive and what was discussed with Putin’s lackey, Kislyak. Why did he lie if it was an innocent meeting? The whole thing just smelled and although he recused himself from any Russian investigation the public was looking for their pound of flesh.

Today, March 4th, we awoke to a twitter storm—HEEEEEEE”S BACK. Yes, the Trump that relies on right wing websites for news, that only knows how to be on the offense (look at his tweets post Sessions fiasco–calling out Democrats who met with Putin–in the capacity of their JOBS, Donald), that cannot resist a good twitter rant, that is the world’s biggest sore loser–Really, no one is as big of a sore loser as he is–was back.

More

How low has President Obama gone to tapp my phones during the very sacred election process. This is Nixon/Watergate. Bad (or sick) guy!

He may have gotten this information from a right wing nut job but the interesting twist is it just may implicate him. First of all, Presidents do not order wire taps. Secondly, wire taps like this would have only been permitted with probable cause and approval. Soooooooooo… Trump, you were under a Federal investigation with probable cause. No wonder the outgoing admin tried to secure the data and information for fear of a coverup.

By confirming it publicly, Trump has also pretty much guaranteed no one can be charged for leaking the existence of this FISA warrant. Oops!

The most gratifying thing is that Trump’s demise may be directly related to a tweet.

Days 39, 40, 41 BREATHE AND THEN PUSH

I fell behind in my accounting of the Days of the Trump Tyranny but don’t worry DT has been busy and there is plenty to report and I plan on ending with some HOPE.

Trump addressed Congress Wednesday Night, February 28th; this was in place of a State of the Union address. Here is a recap by Colbert of the “Surprisingly Presidential” Speech. It seemed that a lot of people were pleasantly surprised stating DT was more optimistic and used better tone than he typically does but those of us familiar with this buffoon were not fooled by his polished well read speech. One tweeter commenter called the speech, “Nationalism with an indoor voice” and I could not agree more. Don’t be fooled people, a leopard does not change his spots. He has done this before and the REAL tyranny will shine through soon enough. Check out Colberts recap below.

Day 40, I spent the day after his speech contemplating how I felt about everything. The bar was set so low, how could one mediocre speech where he did not really say anything make so many people excited. How could people not feel disgusted over the obvious exploitation of the widow whose husband died in the botched Yemen raid. The death most likely due to incompetence; the raid DT did not watch from the situation room because he was busy tweeting (yes, there is evidence of this)–the raid where Owens’ father is calling for an investigation. I am terribly sorry for Carryn Owens and her family. Her husband died a hero’s death but he deserves respect and his death requires an investigation even if it only helps to identify how to avoid tragedies like this in the future. In the field of medicine we call this Grand Rounds, where we use real life cases to help improve patient outcomes.

A friend shared the following film clip with me and it is still resonating with me. Please take a few minutes to watch this–I promise it is worth it. This woman, this mother, clearly outlines the concerns of many. She describes the troubles and the worries, that people face everyday. She describes how lately it feels like we are no longer moving forward, that instead we are regressing and she is fearful. Fearful for her son, fearful for all others, stating “I am leaving my son a world more dangerous than the one I was given.” I feel it too, hate is on the rise—but it is the end of the clip, the end that fills me with hope.

What if the darkness is a womb. “What if our America is a country that is not dead but a country that is waiting to be born…What if this is our nation’s Great Transition….Breath and then PUSH!” If her words do not leave you teary eyed or filled with hope–you may not have a heart.

Today, Day 41, I awoke to news that the Russian story will not be easily swept under the carpet. That Obama and his team tried to preserve information and scatter it before DT came into office in an effort to make sure it was not destroyed. That we have video footage of Jess Sessions lying under oath during his confirmation hearing for Attorney General. The stories broke in NYT and the Washington Post late last night–aka DT’s fake news–LOVE it!

Sessions met with the Russian Ambassador,  Sergey Kislyak, 2 times during the election in July/September. One meeting was a private meeting in September (2 months before the election and well after the US got wind about Russian interference). Why did they meet? What did they discuss? If the US was worried about Russian interference and Sessions came onboard with DT back in February, why didn’t Sessions realize this was inappropriate? If the discussion was related to his Senate role (which will be difficult to prove support of this), why did he LIE?

I hope we find out soon. PUSH, people.

Day 38 COMPLICATED HEALTH CARE-WHO KNEW

It is really quite remarkable. Since Trump went into office and announced the repealing of the ACA with no replacement in sight, it caused a uproar even amongst his fanbase. First the shock was that the Affordable Health Care Act or the ACA was actually Obamacare. Yes, some had no clue and their bias to anything Obama became problematic when they realized they actually depended on this care. Repealing without replacement became a BIG problem; however, instead of being patient and strategically planning, Trump pushed for repeal and his Republican lackeys jumped on board.

Many constituents are getting vocal about the ACA and are concerned its repeal is the wrong move–this includes MANY Republicans. Are your representatives in Congress listening? Not if they think protests and outrage in the Town Hall meetings are staged liberal activist events—by the way they are not. It turns out that most people like having healthcare–Imagine that.

Trump actually went on the record today (follow link to see the clip) that “It is an unbelievably complex subject. No body knew healthcare could be so complicated…” Hmmm, yes, yes we did know, you ignoramus.

Some “other things” you may not know. Do you know that if people do not have insurance their only option for care is showing up at the local ER? and did you know that when they show up there, they MUST be treated? That it is illegal to turn them away? Yup, that means they are clogging up Emergency Services with issues like the common cold and the flu—-and all the care they get is provided at NO COST—well, that part is not true. Hospital care cost LOTS and who do you think pays for this—well, YOU my friend. YOU do. Uninsured drive up healthcare costs. The more expensive costs then drive up insurance costs…and maybe you get the picture now—-hence, the purpose of the ACA and the reason it was necessary.

Day 37 WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENTS DINNER

It all comes back to the 2011 Correspondents Dinner. Please take a look at this clip, DT is seething. Did this night help shape his hatred for Obama and the media. Sure, he hated Obama before then but this level of humiliation was the beginning of his revenge…a man driven by his vindictiveness.

“Donald Trump was the focus of President Obama’s jokes at the 2011 White House Correspondents’ Dinner. It was there that Trump resolved to run for president, adviser Roger Stone tells FRONTLINE in “The Choice 2016,” coming to PBS Sept. 27.”

It is no surprise that DT is avoiding the WH Correspondents dinner this year. His war on the media is an embarrassment and I can only imagine attending would have been like walking into the lions den as the lion tamer–if the lions has been abused for month after month. It will be interesting to see how the night plays out. Samantha Bee was planning an alternative event on the same night, I wonder if if they will combine events and roast DT eventhough he is not in attendance.

I will not be attending the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner this year. Please wish everyone well and have a great evening! (2)

Yah, no way he wrote that–way too polite.

Many had planned to boycott and Vanity Fair, the New Yorker and Bloomberg had cancelled their parties that usually draw a celebrity crowd and plenty of press. It will be interesting to see what the event turns into now. I imagine it will be a good show.

I hope they use this opportunity to celebrate Freedom of the Press and the field of journalism.

Day 36 THIS IS NOT MY AMERICA

DT and his HATE filled agenda offends me on every level imaginable. He disgusted me with his behavior during his life as a celebrity, his behavior during his campaign, and his behavior now is anything but Presidential (no matter what Con-Artist Conway has to say about it). DT exemplifies all the qualities of a bully with no moral compass and the compassion of a toad–scratch than–that is an insult to all toads out there.

DT and his administration are a threat to Democracy. Breitbart Bannon admitted the plan is the deconstruction of government at this weeks CPAC. What do you think that mean, folks? Coupled with the obvious war on truth and the First Amendment–I think we are pretty much screwed here.

Some crazy things happening in the DT Fascist State this week-things I never thought I would see in my lifetime:

1) An Underground Railroad for Immigrants fleeing the tyranny of DT and his admin–fleeing America because it is not a safe haven or the land of opportunity for them.

Churches Are Readying Homes And Underground Railroads To Hide Immigrants From Deportation Under Trump, https://www.buzzfeed.com/salvadorhernandez/sanctuary-churches-v-trump-deportation-mandate?bffb&utm_term=.nmgP21DoKM#.hk1NVPRmQq

2) A 70 year old children’s book author detained by US and reduced to tears over the humiliation and poor treatment she received while traveling. Here is what she had to say:

“She told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation she was questioned by border agents for two hours in front of a room full of people – an experience that left her feeling like she had been physically assaulted.

“I have never in my life been spoken to with such insolence, treated with such disdain, with so many insults and with so much gratuitous impoliteness,” Fox said.

“I felt like I had been physically assaulted which is why, when I got to my hotel room, I completely collapsed and sobbed like a baby, and I’m 70 years old.”

Australian children’s author Mem Fox detained by US border control: ‘I sobbed like a baby'”

3) A UK teacher with a British passport detained, removed from plane and humiliated when traveling with his students.

Here is what he had to say:

“As I was making my way out of the plane I looked back at the kids to tell them everything was going to be okay. The look I got off the kids, they were shocked, they couldn’t believe what was happening. This is when I felt like I was a criminal,” Juhel Miah, a math teacher at Llangatwg Comprehensive School in Wales told CNN.

4) Continued saga of Russian interference in US election and DT administration. New evidenced shows White House Chief of Staff Preibus asked the FBI to publicly refute that DT and his admin had anything to do with Russia–the FBI refused.

5) DT Travel Ban from 7 countries is NOT support by US Intelligence (no surprise but still pitiful).

Trump rejects DHS intelligence report on travel ban, http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2017/02/25/trump-rejects-dhs-intelligence-report-on-travel-ban.html (please note my attempt to use a FOX reference)

6) I will end with this heinous crime against an Indian engineer who was killed in a hate crime in Kansas this week. The man charged with the murder was in the restaurant at the bar, supposedly dropping racial slurs which were overheard by waitstaff when he left the restaurant came back with a gun and shot 2 people after yelling, “Get out of my country”. An American who had been hiding under a table when the gun shorts started,  thought the gun magazine was empty, charged him and was shot too. One man died, the Indian engineer. He left behind a wife, family back in India and relatives here in the US. I cannot imagine how his family feels and I am so very sorry.

Kansas man charged with killing Indian in possible hate crime, http://www.reuters.com/article/us-kansas-india-idUSKBN1630LZ

These were not all the awful things that happened this week; there were more but I do not have the time or energy to lay them all out.

I am ashamed. This is not the America I know and love. I am 46 years old and I NEVER thought I would see things like this happen in America in my lifetime. I never imagined it was possible to elect a leader without experience, without good character, without a moral compass, without compassion and a basic human decency. Shame on us.

Day 35 WHITE HOUSE BANS PRESS

DTs war against the Press is really his war against reality. It is his way of controlling the press and the information you have access to. What should be reported? When? How? Who should be given access? Restricting Freedom of the Press is a violation of the FIRST AMENDMENT of the Constitution. Freedom of the press is the backbone of Democracy.

“The press was to serve the governed, not the governors.”

—U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black in New York Times Co. v. United States (1971)

The freedom of the press, protected by the First Amendment, is critical to a democracy in which the government is accountable to the people. A free media functions as a watchdog that can investigate and report on government wrongdoing. It is also a vibrant marketplace of ideas, a vehicle for ordinary citizens to express themselves and gain exposure to a wide range of information and opinions.

Today, just this afternoon, the White House banned NYTimes, CNN, and Politico from attending Spicey Spicers Press Conference. The Times and the Associated Press choose not to attend in protest. Bat$*** crazy Brietbart was allowed entrance…nothing wrong with that (insert large eye roll)

The time is NOW, RISE UP, my friends or it will be too late.
