WHAT’S IN A NAME?
TRUMP (verb): outshine, outclass, upstage, put in the shade, eclipse, surpass, outdo, outperform; beat, better, top, cap; be a cut above, be head and shoulders above, leave standing.
Now even the deaf and blind know that Donald Trump is running for President and he represents the Republican AND THE Democratic platform on immigration loud and clear.
“Some Mexicans are good people, I guess.”
How fun is that?
But Tubularsock wants to step back a bit from the open racist bigotry of Donald and check out the reality.
The thing about Donald is that he doesn’t have to kiss-ass to our phony PC culture because he’s rich and because he doesn’t have a chance at really being nominated. PERIOD. Regardless where he is in the poles now or at Convention time. He will NOT be nominated.
But that doesn’t make him irrelevant to the process.
Because he could maneuver himself into …. Trump: The Art Of The Deal .
And he has already made the Republican’s shit when he stated that he may run as a third party candidate if he doesn’t get the nomination. Which would pull the Tea Party types off and weaken the Republicans in the election.
No matter what the entertainment value of Donald Trump he does know how to rig a deal ……..
So Tubularsock wants to take a look at this ……….
Now let’s get real.
Tubularsock doesn’t care whether you’re Blanco, Black, Latino, Asian or Other you will know what Tubularsock is talking about.
When different family groups gather their views of OTHER races come out in private even if their family is mixed. Which mixed in Tubularsock’s view will be the savior of humanity.
The traits and attitudes of any given race are expressed in a way that NEVER or at least RARELY would be expressed publicly. Tubularsock knows what he’s talking about EVEN if you may be embarrassed to admit it for your own family.
This racist bigotry comes out with every family gathering and is expressed usually by old drunken’ Uncle Bob. Every racial family make up will have members that will categorize OTHER races in those broad stereotyped bigoted racial slurs.
You know what Tubularsock’s talken’ about. It is just common family crap.
And so when Donald Trump says that he is just sayen’ what everyone says it is really not that far from the truth. And that is why he jumped up in the polls (21%) after he made his “Mexican” comments.
Do you really think that Hillary or Jeb and their extended families don’t say aloud what Donald is saying? Think again …… you do and your extended family does as well.
Now this racist bigotry is not always heartfelt but referencing more general racial stereotypes but there is always the drunken’ uncle who has more of the mindless hatred brought about by some incident in his past that set up that base-prejudice. And no matter what you say he will stick to his “facts”, period!
Tubularsock finds it refreshing to have Uncle Donald express himself with abandon. As opposed to uptight Hillary who just loves Mexicans and Blacks and Chinese and oh gosh just everyone. She is crafty enough not to say her real views about anything. And Jeb with a Mexican wife? Well, as Donald tweeted, “Jeb Bush has to like the Mexican Illegals because of his wife.”
Jeb called the remarks “extraordinarily ugly” and said they were meant to “inflame and incite.” Jeb argued they’re “not reflective of the Republican Party.” Which is funny if you really look at both mainstream Republicans and Democrats attitudes toward minorities in general.
The ONLY reason there is so much being pumped up over this statement is not that either the Democrats or Republicans love Mexicans or even want to live next to them but both parties are ONLY interested in the Hispanic voters. Once they get that vote …. fuck’em!
But not to be undermined with all the negative attacks of others against him Trump clarified for CNN his position. “Illegal immigrants coming in are causing tremendous problems, in terms of crime, in terms of murder, in terms of rape, in terms of lots of other things”.
You know, Donald just has a way with words!
And those words weren’t spared on his view of old John McCain either.
Donald went after John after John stated a day or so before that Trump’s Campaign has brought out the “crazies”.
So Donald retorted that John wasn’t a war hero because all he did was get captured and Donald doesn’t like loser what he feels McCain is because he lost to Obummer.
(Remember Trump backed the McCain/Palin Ticket)
Well, Tubularsock would say once again that Trump is more true than false with his statements. And if you look into McCain’s war record he was also a traitor for providing critical information to the North Vietnamese which enabled them to kill a large number of American pilots and McCain help produced anti-American propaganda for the Viet Cong!
John McCain is a traitor ……. plain and simple!
Now don’t expect Donald to stop alienating everybody and their brother. That is just the way this white mother fucker does business.
Now you have got to admit Donald has a way with women voters when he says. “You know, it really doesn’t matter what [the media] write as long as you’ve got a young and beautiful piece of ass.”
Priceless.
Or another Donald Truism, “All of the women on ‘The Apprentice’ flirted with me — consciously or unconsciously. That’s to be expected.”
So Tubularsock would have to say that Donald has the Woman Vote pretty much in the bag.
And hell, he’s got the Black vote cinched with, “I have a great relationship with the blacks.”
Wow! Two major voting blocks taken care of and throw in the Tea Party ….. well it might be a Trumpslide!
And if you are concerned you may be convinced with this, “I’m a really smart guy.”
Now where most of the candidates don’t have answers to global warming Donald does,
“The concept of global warming was created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing non-competitive.”
Now how could you argue with that?
But the Donald is an environmentalist at heart, “It’s Friday. How many bald eagles did wind turbines kill today? They are an environmental & aesthetic disaster.”
“How much money did Barack Obama waste today on crony green energy projects?”
Funny little side note: This week Donny lost his court case against Scotland over the placing of a wind-farm off the coast of and in view of Trump’s golf resort. It seems that Scotland feels that cutting carbon emissions and creating jobs was more important than Trump’s view. He’s appealed.
And then there is Lindsey Graham’s defense of Traitor John McCain’s military record with his tweet:
“If there was ever any doubt that @realDonaldTrump should not be our commander in chief, this stupid statement should end all doubt,” Graham said. “If there was ever any doubt that he should not be the #GOP standard bearer, his growing mountain of stupid statements should end all doubt.”
Graham also called Donny a “jackass”!
And oh yes, like any play yard squabble Donny comes back with calling Graham a “lightweight” and giving out Graham’s personal phone number to the crowd.
Adding, “He’s got zero in the polls.”
Now before you get mixed up …….. these are all grown adult men who wish to run the “free world”!
And people question Tubularsock’s chances in 2016 …… GET REAL!
No really. Tubularsock this morning not only tied his own shoes but poured his own cereal into his little blue bowl and added soy milk.
Now you tell Tubularsock, with the field running for President having a President that can tie his own shoes is a major qualification!
DOING THE MATH
What do you think it means that the United States in 2014 carried out 443 drone attacks?
There were 377 in Pakistan, 59 in Yemen, and 7 in Somalia and what is striking is the fact that we are not at war with any of those nations.
And even more confusing Pakistan, we are told, is an ally.
So what are we doing?
Now there was a time in our history where we declared war against some country BEFORE we bombed the shit out of them.
But Tubularsock thinks that that must be one of those quaint old-fashioned ideas.
You know, like honesty, integrity, and honor. Which are all passé if we ever really had them in the first place. But Tubularsock remembers a day when at least we thought we had them.
Today we know we don’t. And Tubularsock thinks that without a guiding principle we as a country lack relevancy. Just why are we killing hundreds of thousands of people? What is the purpose?
No one really believes any longer that we are doing it to promote democracy and freedom. Especially when it has become obvious that those goals have been weakened in our own country to a dangerous level on the way to extinction.
A lack luster election with no more than the old tweedledee-tweedledum candidates all “officially” lying to “the people”. “The People” all know that they are lying to them yet some are still willing to stand with signs and balloons and play like they are excited. Even THAT is an obvious lie. Really, watch their faces as the camera pans as a candidate is speaking and you tell Tubularsock what you see.
Our society is one of the most violent in the world. We kill each other at an alarming rate. We have the largest prison population in the world. We are drugged out of our minds. Far more than any other society in the world. And Tubularsock is speaking about “legal” drugs and their effect. These are the drugs that “respectable” people use. The ones rubber stamped by the government as safe as doctors hand them out like candy!
The only thing it appears that the U.S. is good at any longer is shipping our jobs overseas and having the largest military presence in the world today. Both noble goals for sure. Hell! We’re #1 in both!
Now don’t think that Tubularsock is going into morose-land here. No, there is always a silver lining.
You see Disney/Pixar released TOY STORY 4 last month and as The ‘Honest Trailer’ for ‘Toy Story’ explains:
“Get ready for the classic children’s film all about jealousy, broken dreams and the existential dread that you will one day outlive your purpose and be replaced by someone newer and better. … You know, classic Pixar stuff.”
Ain’t Amerikkka just great?
So now go out to your street and kick all the burned out fireworks left as litter from the Fourth of July Independence Celebration. Blowing things up is the national pastime.
