The Scoop:

Pictures above, L to R, Trump making love to the American flag, when he was younger, the mean looking portrait he sent to Colorado to replace the one they hung in the state building that HE doesn't like (all the way to the right).

This is an opinion page.  But I have made an effort to research 99.9% of what is on here, which is WAY more than trump and his band of minions ever does - 99% of the time, they just throw baseless allegations out the without ever seeking the truth.  PMW.  Many of my friends said I should not have a page like this on my website.  And so it goes.  I can't help myself.  After all, It IS my website.

PMW, BTW, stands for Prove Me Wrong.  That was Charlie Kirk's war cry.  Since 99.9% of what is on this page is derived from what the named people have publicly said, there is like, no debating as to whether or not my criticisms are valid or not - cause I'm not the dumb-ass who said this shit.  I am only commenting on what has been said.  You may disagree, but you run the risk of being wrong.

Probably, the biggest incident that the "two sides" disagree on, is January 6th, 2021.  Half the country says it was OK, the other half, says is was not OK, and label it as an insurrection.  I have maintained all along, that if you're OK with what happened on that day, that you side with partisan politics instead of law and order.  Why?
♦ Let's say a crowd of thousands came to your front door at home.   They want "in" regardless of, whatever.
♦ So they commit B&E, breaking and entering, unlawful, AFTER, breaching police barricades.
♦ Assaulted ~140 LEO's, especially unlawful.
♦ They destroyed and vandalized  (federal) property, unlawful.
♦ They steal (federal) property, unlawful.
♦ They go around chanting "hang Pence" the sitting VP of the U.S., the equivalent of saying they want to kill the homeowner, very, very illegal.
To those of you who think what happened in DC is OK, by deduction, we MUST then assume that you would be OK with someone doing this to you at your home.  If you don't think people attacking you in your home, and think those people should be arrested and go to jail... what is the difference between your circumstance, and that of what happened in DC?  Simple answer - party politics.  You have allowed your allegiance to trump cloud your sense of what is right and wrong.  To compound the issue, trump releases the criminals from jail/prison back into the public sector on day one of his 2nd term, where some of them go on to commit more crimes, and get shot and killed by "the law". Great thing for the "law and order" candidate to do to "us", it's like spitting in your face at all law abiding and moral Americans.  Before I cut off communications with Tim, he was SO vocal in his opposition to my take of the day, that I said "f--k you a--hole" and un-friended him on FB.  Don't need someone that frickin opinionated and stupid as a friend.  Of course, there was NOTHING that Tim liked about either the left or Biden, all the while denying he was a republican, and a hardcore MAGA type at that.  Douchebag.

This page is dedicated to my friends who are like minded and not like minded.  This includes folks such as Henry S, Dave H, Trish B, all from my high school days; Al R , Tim Kief, Dave B, Ali K, Donny H, Rick L,
Charlie Halcomb, all of whom I use to work with; friends Denver T, Elaine G, Beth F, Karyn T, Frank McCarthy.  Henry S[chindler], Al R[oss], and Tim K all got shit-canned from FB cause they were just to caustic to deal with, as well as Frank M.  Charlie H got pissed at me in 2019 when he couldn't wrap his brain around the election and Biden won, asking me how I couldn't believe there were voting irregularities, even after Bill Barr came on TV a day later and said it was a fair election - he hasn't talked to me since and won't answer the phone when I call.  Al would send me all this unfounded right-wing conspiracy BS without providing proof for any of it, and then would not engage in debate or respond to my comments - in other  words, he just wanted a one-way conversation.  Frank would just go off on the phone and start yelling when I didn't agree with the shit he spewed out.... bye-bye, don't need to get yelled at.

I guess my biggest problem with Trump is the fact that he lies SOOOOO much, so how the hell do you know when he is telling the truth?  I dunno, good question, huh? :-)   Even when he says something that is not an outright lie, he is almost always bending the truth and putting a spin onto something to make it meet his agenda and/or objectives.  a) Let me take something he said during his first term, when Covid came around.  He pushed drinking bleach and taking horse tranq as a cure.  Some people believed him, and died as a result of him advocating bleach.  Fools.  Most of us did not believe his bullshit, so they were spared Death.  Most people with common sense know better than to drink bleach, even in small amounts.  So how does someone separate fact from fiction when he speaks.  What is the truth, and what is not.  b) From his 2nd term, we have the Haitians in Springfield Ohio who were supposedly eating the town's cats and dogs.  Vance finally made it public that he created the story to arouse sympathy for Trump's agenda of creating ill-will towards immigrants.  And it worked,  The town got bomb threats, all because Vance AND Trump lied to the American public.  The worst part about it is: Trump doubled-down on the narrative, EVEN AFTER Vance admitted to making up the story.  So again, how can we trust what Trump says?  Like the kid that cried Wolf - how do we know?  Short answer: we don't, unless you are willing to fact check his BS.  But the great majority are not willing to fact check Trump, mostly, probably, because they don't want to find out that he is lying to them, and then they couldn't have the blind confidence in him that they throw in your face every time they get.  Here is an example from my new BFF, Trish Barker Skidmore:



Her comments are in response to something about the activist Charlie Kirk who was murdered on Sep xx, 2025.  My comments were directed towards Trump, but she misinterpreted them as being directed towards Kirk.  She did apologize, I have to give her that.

Another thing that can piss off the Pope, are people who use religion as a facade to hide behind, like Trish B[arker].  She claims she is a good Christian, yet, allows trump to lie, cheat, hate, take acts of revenge, and almost everything else he does that is contrary to the Ten Commandments. So, by virtue of the fact that she supports Trump, thinks highly of him, never speaks out or otherwise criticizes Trump, I can only come to the conclusion that she herself, is OK with these things and condones them, and therefore, is not as good a Christian as she thinks she is.  If she does condone these things, I can also rightly assume that she herself is OK with doing the same things.  You can't have it both ways, and then come off claiming you're a good Christian, that's being a hypocrite.  So pick a side Trish.

Revenge, you would think Trump wrote the book on it as much as he uses the tactic.

I should add DENIAL to the caption above, because it is one of his favorite methods to TRY to take the heat off of him when people ask him a question.  What are some of his excuses when he is asked a question: I didn't hear about, I didn't know anything about it, no-one said anything about it.  How very convenient, right?  It's like when he was questioned on xxx about the FBI raid on John Bolton's home

2024 Campaign Promises





Day One Actions 2025





His People



I don't respect any of his cabinet or other appointed people.  Why?  Because none of them are qualified -experience wise- for the departments they are in charge of - none of them.  Especially Kennedy, who is a admitted non-vaxer.  They were only appointed to these posts because 1) They are rich people, 2) They unswervingly support Trump in every misguided thing he says, does, and wants to do, whether it is right or wrong.  While most presidents like having people with opposing thoughts and ideas around the White House, Trump does not - he ONLY wants "yes-men".  There is NO ROOM in his administration for people that don't believe in his ideas and beliefs, and don't push his agendas.  Anyone that works for him, and crosses any of those ideals, automatically becomes the worst person on earth, and he will go to no length to exact revenge and retaliation on them - take John Bolton for instance, even tho he denies any part in Bolton's FBI raid.

He Is SO Complementary



Trump almost never minces his words.  When something pisses him off, or otherwise annoys the shit out of him, he lets people know, and he is usually not nice.  Let's go over some examples of this.

Colorado, 2025.  He wasn't happy with the picture Colorado hung in the capitol building 2019.  So he sent them a picture more befitting of how he sees himself.  QUite frankly, it's a horrible painting of him - I would rather be remembered as a "nice guy". :-)  He said about the painter, Sarah Boardman, she must have lost her talent as she got older, further describing the picture as "distorted" and "truly the worst."







His Ego



As large as the state of Texas is, it not nearly large enough to contain the likes of his ego.

Take for example, his thinking on adding his bust to Mt Rushmore: He says he deserves to be on it.  Not.

Apparently, he wasn't really interested in honoring Kirk as much as he claimed he was, interested more in doing stuff he wanted - like going Golfing, and promoting the things he thinks he will be remembered for, like that stupid White House Ballroom "that we (who?) have been waiting for, for 150 years???"  Schmuck.

When you're his best pal, when you're in his inner circle, when you praise him, when you do things for him, when you kiss his ring, when you kiss his ass, the man loves you.  But all it takes (most of the time) is one instance of not doing any of those ego inflating things for him, you're out! C'est la vie.

No-one with any common sense and decency likes the way he demeans and demoralizes people when they piss him off, and then he calls them terrible people:
♦ Take Giuliani for instance: he used to be in trump's inner circle during his first term, but after the 2020 election and trump lost, Giuliani and others doubled down on the fact that it was a cover-up by the left, and that trump really won.  This, BTW, is a discussion I had with my long time buddy (since 1978) Charlie Halcomb, and he just could fucking believe, that I didn't believe, that the 2020 election was stolen from trump.  We haven't spoken since, he will not answer the phone when I call, or return my calls.   I'm sure he feels embarrassed to talk to me, cause he probably doesn't have it in him to apologize.
♦ The "My Pillow guy", Mike Lindell isn't seen in trump's inner circle anymore.  Why?  Lindell lost almost all his pillow fortune on trying to push his theory that the 2020 election was rigged.  Now he has a horrible streaming platform, trying to get some of that money back, after every major retailer dropped his pillows.- And so it goes.
♦ Another one trump distanced himself from because he didn't do what trump expected out of him: VP Pence.  You don't hardly ever hear about him anymore either, since he would not go along with trump's assertion that he won the 2020 election, and Pence voted to ratify Biden winning.  Supposing Kamala Harris refused to ratify trump winning the 2024 election?  Hmmmmm.


Hate, Racism, Phobias & Derogatory Crap



https://www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbi-readies-new-war-on-trans-people
https://glaad.org/fact-sheet-trump-transgender/

The man HATES every and any thing not created in his own image.  Period.  PMW.
For some reason, I was under the impression that HATE is NOT a Christian value.  Am I wrong Al, Charlie, Tim, Henry, Trish, Rick, Donny?
AND, his entire staff have no problem with spreading the same shit.... proof follows, again, PMW.....

For some reason, he hates DEI, and it was one of the first things he came down on, eliminating DEI from almost everything in the federal government.  It DOES make me wonder why then, why he has women on his cabinet, surely not because any of them are qualified for the positions they hold, but then, that applies to ALL of them, not just the women.  It is also one of the reasons he has used to withhold grant money to universities and colleges.  My way, or the highway mentality.



He hates people in the military and especially POW's, calls them "suckers and losers".  You HAD TO LOVE IT, when, during the "birthday" parade for him and the Army's birthday, the majority of the troops marched out of cadence - making it look like a shit-show compared to the way the Chinese put on a similar event (massive!).

The LGBTQ+ Crowd

He has a special hate for Trans people.  He is always promoting inaccurate/ridiculous/unfounded/outright untrue statements because of his ignorance of anything TRANS..... anything.  HE JUST HATES "them".  He will go to any length to take away any rights they have been given over the past 50+ years.  He's already come out and said, after one trans-person committed a murder, that trans folk should not be allowed to by a gun.  I wish he was that fucking hard on the "regular" murderers to do something about gun violence, but then, he likes the regular gun toting morons that DO use guns for violence-yes, he likes them.  Same goes for his offspring, same goes for 99% of his minions.


https://www.aclu.org/news/lgbtq-rights/the-human-toll-of-trumps-anti-trans-crusade







We've ALL seen on TV, trump's position and support for those who live on the far right of the conservative spectrum.  Take Charlottesville for example: after the 2017 riots: his comment was "there are good people on both sides".  No, there is not!

On his first day of his second term, he signs an executive order for the J6 rioters that: Broke into a federal building - that's called Breaking and Entering, trespassed, stole shit, damaged federal property, killed a guard, and threatened to kill VP Pence by yelling "HANG PENCE".  Now, if you believe in the law, and that unlawful acts should have a consequence, then these thousands of assholes who broke into the senate building BELONGED in jail or prison and not roaming the street, regardless of their intentions and/or their party affiliation.  But he let them out, saying they were wrongfully convicted.  What planet are ya'll from, if you believe they should be released?  Several of them after being released, went on to commit additional crimes, and a few were shot dead.  Several lessons to be learned from this whole thing:  1) Let's say someone broke into your home, f--ked it up, stole shit, and then went around threatening to kill you, would you just let them get away with it.  Or would you have them arrested and prosecuted?  By condoning what the J6 rioters did, and trumps subsequent release of them, you are guilty of the same thinking and hate - all because you place politics over and above common sense and the law.  If you don't agree, you are a hypocrite.  No question.  PMW. 2) Trump had the audacity to send troops into LA for a -small- riot, but did nothing to stop what was going on in DC on J6.  What does that tell you?  Anything of consequence, or are you just going to quietly stand there and let this schmuck play with the future of America like it's a dog and his sock?

On September 30th, 2025, Pete Hegseth came out with some new directives for the U.S. military.  Does his one comment make VP Vance a "beardos"?  Only makes sense to me.




Pushing the Legal Limits  & Testing the Legal System












the Free Speech Debacle



When he was inaugurated in 2025 for the second time, he went on TV and said he was an advocate of FREE SPEECH.  Well, in light of recent events surrounding the death of Charlie Kirk, that whole free speech thing has been mired in controversy.  Because I don't run in conservative/MAGA circles, I had never heard of the guy before the day that he was murdered.







Articles


What he did and/or what happened: On September 2nd and 15th 2025, Trump has the military blow up boats from Venezuela killing 11 on the first round and 3 on the second incident.

Results/Implications: He 'claims' to have had proof these boats were carrying drugs, but has provided nothing more than to say you could see the evidence scattered all over the water with bags full of drugs.  These unsanctioned strikes will provide other countries reason/justification to now "go after and blow up 'our' boats", if they feel like THEY are a threat to their country.

Huckster Trump -- Cheaply Made Crap He Tries to Pawn Off On Us



We've never had a huckster in office to the likes of this man.  Period.

One of the worst aspects of him trying to sell this crap to the American public is: That despite his slogan for 2024 and 2016 of MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, where does Trump have this sorry-ass shit made?  Can you say CHINA.  SO Trump, why are you NOT having this stuff made in the U.S.???  Answer, it costs too much, and he wouldn't be able to fleece -you- for this stuff as cheaply, or he would have to make less profit, which you know he isn't about to do.....

Please don't make the mistake of thinking I'm claiming this as anything besides what it is..... The man who won't pay his bills as he campaigns around the United States, won't pay the people he hires, is now trying to fleece you by trying to get you to buy poorly made Chinese crap, WHICH MAY NOT EVEN LOOK LIKE WHAT IS PICTURED IN THE ADS!!!!

Stupid Stuff He Has Said

Plastic affects every frickin thing in the oceans, and winds up in our food.
