Trumpelstilskin, the Grifter Grifts Himself Daily.


The  “Pseudo Midas Touch” is tarnishing by the day. The projects started and unfinished are in reality the M.O. of the Trumpel’s life’s work. Grifters never have any ready cash except when elected president of a rich country. Fortunately and unfortunately the truth is evident in the country’s dignity, the national pride and international prestige. The incompetence of this Presidiot is on display around the world and especially by his heroes in Russia, China and other dictatorial countries. His international persona is that of a “useful” idiot (aka Bumbling) who trips on his own shoelaces.

Screwworm: alternate Name for This Administration?


The daily output politispeak and Trumpspeak is as ubiquitous as garbage pickup day. Most of what we see hear and read should be on the curb with the black bags and rolling bins. Clean slate required to upgrade our government. All of our hard earned international political capital is being spent on the personal ambitions of a few self-serving petty leaders who have no idea on how to run a country aka hire smart people who know the business!

Short Description


Presidiot aka Trumpelstilskin aka mental midget!

Reasons for Current economic conditions and an undeclared war, strained relations with European and Asian allies.

Over Time


I have written what is called "6 word memoirs". I am sharing just a few below":

GOP espousing false narratives as facts’

The GOP seems to be determined to mop the floor with a dirty mop

Truth riles TOTUS, so be it!!

It is pretty obvious by now that facts riles up the liars no matter the party. It seems that all purveyors of non facts get upset when presented with facts and counter with more non facts or personal attacks.

Sixes 2 A

We’re doing what best for you

autocrats, dictators, people in power all seem to tell us that what they are doing to us is for our own good and somehow many of us believe it. If we are paying attention, we can see that the GOP is doing and saying the same thing while enacting repressive laws on

 voting, reproduction and installing “their choice of judges” while stopping passage of infrastructure legislation. Is this for our own good?

No truth in poLItics, neither party

Dishonesty appears to be the bedrock of politics and unfortunately too many voters  are accepting it.

Botch already backing TOTUS for 2024

Botch McConnell in a play to remain in power has already endorsed TOTUS for a 2024 Presidential run-Is it possible that his (Mitch) constituents are blind and numb?

 Cruz, Hawley, Johnson, modern JoeMcCarthy’s

Only in America can miscreants become lawmakers (or breakers?) and suffer no consequences

Higher standards-N/A to elected officials

We always thought it- politicians generally are suspect

Foxes have control of the henhouse

The GOP now has control of the US house and has proceeded to exact revenge on the DEMs for perceived and real (correct) sins against the party. This energy world be better used to actually strike an accord and govern instead of pursuing irrational and uninformed issues. The course being followed will certainly come back to

bite” them and further divide the voters.

Shiny objects no motive for support-The most prominent or shiniest object more distracting than useful

Flip flops are not just footwear-

 ask Linsey Hop graham and Botch McConnell

Patton slap to GOP-all Cowards!

General Patton was reprimanded for slapping a GI who was suffering from what we now know as” battle fatigue”, he was wrong in what he did however he was ordered to apologize for it. We as voters need not apologize if we “Patton” slap our elected officials

2Tr tax cut or 2Tr stimulus?

The GOP happily passed a 2trillion dollar tax cut that benefitted themselves and big business yet balk against 2trillion to stimulate the economy and help the voters. No brainer on who to vote foTop of Form

r.

Why Do Balding heads require parting?

Just curious

Congress competing for standup Comic jobs?

Standups are more serious about their work than these neer do wells

Its Ok until you’re the victim

What happens to one affects us all and we should all be involved or be at least paying attention.

Possibly hoods in the Congressional closet?

Ron Johnson has made plain what we have always suspected of the GOP. Perhaps not all but too many to ignore and we should not let the Dems off the hook either.

Fist Bump ridiculed once, now gentrified

During Obama Presidency fist bump was ridiculed, not so “ghetto” now is it?

Amazing disgrace: current miscreant elected officials

There is no partisanship when elected officials disrespect the office for their personal gain, not the country and the voters who put them in office.

“Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.”

All Been Said Before But Nothing Happens!


The United States has again reached a crossroad where good evil meet. The last time much like this one it was about economics- granted that there were and still are personal freedoms involved, and a national split occurred aka a “CIVIL WAR”. There are still remnants of that event remaining after 100 plus years, but many Americans have thankfully moved and some unfortunately have not! Now we have one if not the worst national leaders since Andrew Jackson. The difference is that we as a country have grown up intellectually (mostly) but that intellect has sometimes been rooted in the same biases from long ago. There has been a coopting of certain words and sayings as being Anti American, leftist, rightist or any of several “buzzwords” and sayings. One of the most recent is “DEI” also known as “Diversity, Equity, Inclusion”. I have tried hard to define or find a definition of this as a Radical, left Wing, right wing or Racist trope. It is nowhere close to the names or definitions used behind closed doors of our current Government. The current “Caligula” is as evil and self-centered as the original but multiplied by a cohort of sycophantic power grabbers who will be remembered in history for their evil deeds. How many can name or spell the names of the Nazi perpetrators of the death camp activities that led to millions being murdered? There are similarities to several of those activities to present day that gather people across the country, send them to other cities, state, and counties at the expense of the taxpayer (US!). Now there is a move to create camps (alligator Alcatraz, in Florida) that can house “illegal” migrants. It should be remembered that many migrants work here seasonally only, and many are awaiting asylum hearings but need to work to provide for their families yet they are swept up in ICE raids and incarcerated without due process.

We Were WARNED!!


It appears that we are dupes or dopes(?). FFLOTUS told us what he would do if reelected and we ignored his factual statements on this. WE forgot what he did and tried to do in his previous administration. We forgot the lessons of history from 90 years ago when an authoritarian regime in Europe made the same types of promises prior to and after being elected. These promises were kept to the devastation of most of Europe and millions of lives lost. The current administration is attempting to follow the same kind of track with the assistance of unelected, uninformed businesspeople (who by many accounts are not very good at what they do in their real jobs?). The “so called” Red States have been deceived in thinking the administration will do great thing for them, however any actions that affect the population at large does not discriminate in red or blue states- all are affected. There are no exceptions to the actions that affect our lives except for those whose income is high enough to absorb the effects of “tariffs” aka taxes. “The proof is in the eating” as the saying goes and right now we are gagging! The ineffectual “leader we have and his minions (the too scared to do anything GOP) are following the same path as 1930’s Germany. While industry was revived, it was revived due to war production, and the population was grateful for the work and wages ignoring the fact that the “leader” was heading them to another war except the idea of not eating drove them forward ignoring the parallels of the previous world conflict’s devastation.

Our current government headed by the least capable leader since Andrew Johnson! Fast forward to now, governing by fiat appears to be the norm with a “damn the Torpedoes” attitude. It will take more effort on the part of the citizenry to ignore the loud and pay more attention to the quiet. History has shown where the current path of governance leads and we as citizens need to find another path!

Two Pieces


From Michael’s Six word memoirs

Administration: incompetence from top to bottom!

It is horrific to see this country’s leadership headed by possibly the most historically corrupt and incompetent official since the founding of the country.

10 years plus is enough time

The GOP long opposition to the ACA (Obamacare) continues, instead of crafting “something better” the GOP has continued place roadblocks and restrictions in its implementation. (bear in mind that the GOP took the “better” parts of the healthcare bill and added to their own healthcare plans. Now we are still fighting the same fight and affecting the health of millions of Americans even down to many being unable to afford basic healthcare. The Congressional GOP members appear to being ignoring their own constituents’ dilemma along with everyone else’s.

The Exotics.


The Exotics: Nero, Caligula and Trumpelstilskin

Time produces folks of the same mental space regularly, but we usually do not hear about them until their actions become egregious and murderous. Abetted (sometimes) by a governing bloc these “exotics lose all sense of reality since they live pretty much in their own heads. The insides of their heads would lay out like a bag of cats (sorry cat lovers), a lot of meowing and scratching! When the contents erupt no one understands or believes the utterances and statements that issue forth. Fact is those outputs are as dangerous as a 5-year-old with cherry bombs and a box of matches.

“Trumpel” Purposely Selected Flawed Cabinet Members?


We are aware that “Trumpel’s” choices for Government service are sycophants and generally flawed individuals who have been selected for fealty rather than ability, yet we (some of us) still miss the point that he needs to go except the second in command is no better and possibly worse. The real “power” behind the throne is: (I suspect) is Stephen Miller aka “Himmler/Goebbels” clone. With history being diluted at best and erased at worst, we need to pay particular attention this regimes actions as it does not differ between red and blue!

The Multiverse of Trumplestilskin


The past 11 months of the current administration has been a whirlwind ride of Presidential orders, the BBB and an assortment of “deals “connected to Tariffs (tariffs are taxes paid eventually by the consumers). The wider world of business uses discussions about trade to benefit all parties as much as possible, this arrangement has benefitted everyone for many years until now. With the advent of “Trumplestilskin” we have seen “flim flam”, sleight of hand, subterfuge and outright lies become norms in many areas including our national discourse. The current GOP Congress has besmirched and debased the once honest brokers in right side politics. They have joined the long line of “puckerers”who have deserted their electoral base (who they were elected to protect and serve). There appears to be no guardrail too sacred to supplant or alter to aid the “Boss”! The long list of “acting, appointed (with no Congressional input) members” of this administration have brought lawsuit after lawsuit with little to no stronger evidence than the “nightly utterings of a child”. This iteration of Governing appears to be no more than stooges waiting for the next Rant in order to function.

Might I suggest that all of us put on our grown-up pants, forget party lines and determine what type of Americans we want to be and be diligent in our information consumption. We can be the ally and leader the rest of the world has seen us to be and want us to continue to be or join the “kiddy” table! Billy Shakespeare stated that “all the world’s a stage and we are merely players ( loosely stated by me), we the United States have forgotten who the real leaders are and they are us!
