President Obama this week waded into the general election with his customary grace, instructing Donald Trump to stop “whining” that the contest might be rigged.
“If you start whining before the game’s even over, if whenever things are going badly for you and you lose — you start blaming somebody else — then you don’t have what it takes to be in this job,” Obama said. “I’d invite Mr. Trump to stop whining and go try to make his case to get votes.”
Obama asking someone not to whine is a bit like Miley Cyrus telling Katy Perry to put some clothes on. Obama has been whining since the moment he took office. If there’s ever been a whinier commander-in-chief, then he whined privately, because there’s no record of such incessant presidential moaning.
Obama has literally spent his entire presidency whining about his predecessor, who, in Obama’s view, left him with a task too Herculean to overcome.
As Obama failed consistently to right the economy and every “Summer of Recovery” became a winter of economic discontent, he never tired of blaming George W. Bush for the economy — even years after Bush stopped having anything to do with it.
"If we had taken office during ordinary times, we would have started bringing down these deficits immediately," Obama whined in 2010.
"I inherited a big debt," he whined in March 2011........."
"He possesses the unrepentant lecherousness of a real pro, a fellow for whom the words ‘hands off, creep’ mean nothing, because no one has dared to say them to him before."However, Clinton acknowledges that if he and Trump were to go head-to-head in a perving battle, he would handily defeat the New York property developer.
"Has he ever dared to goose a female head of state while 100 reporters are watching, nor has he ever coerce a women’s volleyball team into giving him a private nudie show in the Oval Office at 2 a.m., saying it was a matter of national security? How many ladies has he actually bagged? Only 50, 60 max? When I was at the top of my game, my little black book was more like a 32-volume set of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Ol’ Hillary used to ask why I was journaling so much at night."The former Arkansas governor and twice-elected president went on to say that the public has a right to know, once and for all, who is pervier between the two of them.
"If you’re listening Donnie, I challenge you to an old-fashioned tell-all, just like we used to do in Arkansas, back when I was a shoeless country boy selling crickets to fishermen for nickels to buy a gander at old widow McCracken’s invalid daughter while she bathed in a feeding trough behind the barn. Just you, me, a TV crew, and the best true stories of unwanted fondling and nonconsensual humping you can muster."
"We’ll see who’s got bragging rights. Till then, sure, let the media run with their little ‘Donald Trump is a bona fide perv’ narrative. But we all know who’s the best at that game."
HACKING DEMOCRACY follows tenacious Seattle grandmother / investigator, Bev Harris, and her band of extraordinary citizen-activists as they set out to answer one simple question: How does America count its votes?
Proving America's votes can be stolen without a trace culminates in a duel between the Diebold corporation's voting machines and a computer hacker from Finland – with America’s democracy at stake.
The hack of the Diebold voting system in Leon County, Florida, is real. It was verified by computer scientists at UC Berkeley.
"The shitshow isn't over. It appeals to the darker instinct of a country that has made some mistakes, whether it’s voting for Reagan or Nixon or Bush or the professional wrestler in Minnesota."I know y'all are all excited to hear Michael Moore has a new
"Michael Moore has unveiled Michael Moore in TrumpLand, a surprise film he screened for the first time at New York City’s IFC Center on Tuesday night for free. The live performance film — which sees Moore speaking about the two candidates onstage, and supposing what would happen if each were to become the next U.S. president — was shot less than two weeks ago, over two consecutive nights at a venue in Wilmington, Ohio, in a county where Trump received four times as many votes as Clinton did in the primary elections.
“To us, this was TrumpLand,” Moore explained, adding that he initially eyed the Ohio town of Licking, but was denied. “I wanted to do this not in a safe place, but in a place where we’d need a lot of security, which we had.”
In the film, Moore notes that “white men over 35 are obsolete” in the 21st century (“Guys know it and that's why they're at the Trump rallies,” he says) and that women are not inherently problematic: “No women invented a hydrogen or atomic bomb, and no girls have gone into schools to shoot them up. … We're actually quite safe from 51 percent of the population,” he explains. “Whatever you're afraid of does not wear a dress — or a pantsuit.”I guess there goes my theory he turned out to be the way he is because girls were beating him up for his lunch money too....
The movie also includes an imagined news segment that covers what would happen if Trump is inaugurated: aerial attacks on Mexican border towns, an official TV news channel operated by Breitbart and Roger Ailes, and the deportation of Rosie O'Donnell to the American Samoa. Afterward, the filmmaker discusses Clinton with the audience, playing a segment of her impassioned Wellesley commencement speech and supposing that, as Pope Francis did to the Catholic Church, Clinton can stimulate progress that benefits “the greater good” of the country. “The enemy of my enemy is who I’m voting for on Nov. 8,” he says in the film.
"I’m gonna do something here and give people positive reasons to vote for her. Look for the good in Hillary."Well, that explains why the movie is only 73 minutes long.
