SNAPFISH. SLING. DON'T GET EATEN. RACE TO THE BOTTOM. QUESTION OF THE DAY: ARE MUSLIMS COMPATIBLE WITH AMERICA? THE BETTER QUESTION: IS DONALD TRUMP COMPATIBLE WITH AMERICA? THE ANSWER IS A RESOUNDING, NO! NOW WE HAVE TWO CANDIDATES FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK. WE ARE GOING TO COMPARE THE TWO CANDIDATES FROM AN AD STRAIGHT FROM THE GREAT STATE OF NEW YORK . . . THE AD STARTS WITH IMMIGRANTS COMING FROM ALL NATIONS, COMING TO ELLIS ISLAND, WHICH USED TO BE THE ENTRY PORT OR WAY INTO AMERICA, A REGISTRATION PLACE TO RECORD WHO CAME AND FROM WHERE, STANDING IN THE NEW YORK HARBOR, IS THE STATUE OF LIBERTY, WITH THE WORDS, BRING US YOUR TIRED, YOUR HUNGRY, YOUR POOR, AND WE WILL ASSIMILATE THEM INTO AMERICA, AND GIVE THEM CHANCES THEY NEVER HAD IN THEIR FORMER COUNTRY, THE SCENES IN THE AD ARE STARK, BLACK AND WHITE, AS I RECALL, THEN, IT GOES THROUGH SOME OF THE SOCIAL ISSUES AND THAT ACCEPTING MENTALITY, EXTENDING FROM IMMIGRANTS TO THOSE MEMBERS OF SOCIETY WITH DIFFERENT LIFESTYLES, LGBT, INTER RACIAL COUPLES, PARENTS STRAIGHT AND GAY, AND THEN, IT SHOWS NEW YORK AS A PLACE OF GROWTH, LOVE, OPPORTUNITY, AND INCLUSION! NOW OF THE TWO CANDIDATES, WITH THEIR SLOGANS: (1) HILLARY CLINTON--STRONGER TOGETHER, OR (2) DONALD TRUMP--MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, IMPLYING THAT WE ARE NOT GREAT NOW? OF THE TWO CANDIDATES, WHO BETTER REPRESENTS THE MELTING POT OF NEW YORK, OF AMERICA? AND WHO IS THE PRESIDENT FOR "ALL" OF US? YESTERDAY, WHEN I WAS SHOCKED, HEARING MY SON'S STOLEN MUSIC, CUT IN AND OUT, MIXED WITH SOME OTHER ARRANGEMENT TO COVER THE PIRATED MUSIC, I WATCHED THE MESSED UP SHIT OF THIS "WESTERN CONSERVATIVE SUMMIT" HELD AT A CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY, BUT THEN, INVITING TWO OF THE BIGGEST SHYSTERS IN POLITICS, PRETENDING THEY REPRESENT, CHRISTIAN VALUES? BOTH HAVE USED THEIR RUNS FOR OFFICE, TO "ADVANCE THEIR PERSONAL FORTUNES" SELLING BOOKS, STEAKS, WATER, MAGAZINES, ETC. NEITHER ONE HAS PROVEN THAT THEY HAVE THE KIND OF TOUGHNESS IT TAKES TO SURVIVE BEING PRESIDENT--SHIT PALIN COULD NOT EVEN GET THROUGH TWO YEARS OF HER GOVERNORSHIP, AND QUIT! TRUMP PREFERS TO GO TO HIS SCOTLAND GOLF COURSE, RATHER THAN STAY AND TAKE THE HEAT FROM HIS PARTY LEADERS, AND START RAISING MONEY AND PUTTING TOGETHER NOT ONLY A CAMPAIGN STRATEGY, BUT BOOTS ON THE GROUND TROOPS TO START THIS GENERAL ELECTION! WHEN PALIN TALKED, SHE REFERRED TO DONALD TRUMP CARING FOR WOMEN, BUT ONLY A CERTAIN TYPE OF WOMAN--NOT THOSE LIBERAL, YOU KNOW, LIBERAL KIND . . . OH, ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT ME AND HALF OF THE AMERICAN POPULATION, WHO ARE NOT PHYLIS SCHLAFFLY? MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN, MEANS PUTTING WOMEN, BACK IN THE KITCHEN, APRONS ON, RUG RATS HANGING ALL OVER US, BARE FOOT AND PREGNANT, AND WITH NO OPTIONS, ALLOWING A MAN TO DO WHATEVER IN THE HELL HE WANTS, MAKING US "DOORMATS" AGAIN? IS THAT THE "AGAIN' YOU THOUGHT WAS GREAT? UH, NO. FUCK NO! OR PERHAPS IT WAS PALIN'S IMPLICATIONS, THAT THEY ARE THE PARTY OF HARD WORKERS, HONESTY, AND INTEGRITY, AS MY SON'S MUSIC IS USED TO, LIVEN THE NEWLY CONVERTED AND NEARLY DEAD, IN THE AUDIENCE? THERE WAS THE "LEGACY QUARTET" SINGING PATRIOTIC SONGS, AND DURING ONE OF THE SONG, SOME VERSION OF MY SON'S HEAVY METAL ROCK, BLASTED OVER THE BORING QUARTET THAT MY GRANDPARENTS LOVED . . . THE PRODUCERS WERE PANDERING TO THE YOUNG, TRYING TO MAKE THE SUMMIT LOOK ROCKIN' AND FUN, ALIVE AND HAPPENIN'! IT APPEARED TO BE A MESS, LACKING IN INTEGRITY, IN AUTHENTICITY, IN VIRTUE AND WAS TOTALLY DISCOMBOBULATED AND STRANGE? JUST LIKE THE TWO KEYNOTE SPEAKERS. RIGHT AFTER PALIN FINISHED HER SPEECH, THE MC CAME ON, AS IF, HINT, HINT, HINT . . . WE ARE TAKING VOTES ON WHO DONALD TRUMP'S RUNNING MATE SHOULD BE? IT LOOKED LIKE THEY WANTED A ROUSING SCREAM FOR PALIN, THAT NEVER CAME, AS IF WE DON'T REMEMBER THE 2008 DEBACLE? I EVEN HAVE SHORT TERM MEMORY LOSS, DUE TO ALLEGED PICK'S DISEASE AND I WOULD NOT FORGET IN CENTURIES, THE JOKE SHE WAS AS A V.P. TO THE "REST OF THE THINKING PUBIC" BUT A QUEEN IN HER BUBBLE OF CONSERVATIVES, WHO CREATE THE BUBBLE SURROUNDING TRUMP! SEASONED POLITICIANS, REPUBLICAN AND DEMOCRATS ALIKE, KNOW THAT WHAT GOT TRUMP THROUGH THE PRIMARIES, IS NOT WHAT IS GOING TO SELL TO THE GENERAL POPULATION IN AMERICA, WE THINK, THEREFORE WE ARE! THESE TWO, WERE BASHING THE REPUBLICAN "ESTABLISHMENT" AS IF, THEY WERE GOING "ROGUE" TOGETHER, LIKE PALIN DID, GETTING SO FULL OF HERSELF, BACK IN 2008, THAT SHE STARTED TO GO AGAINST, POOR SENATOR JOHN MCCAIN, WHO GOT PULLED INTO THAT QUAGMIRE. SHIT. PUT THE TRUMP PALIN TICKET IS PERFECT, BOTH NARCISSISTIC, PSYCHOPATHS, WHO ARE PATHOLOGICAL LIARS! IF WE WANT TO FUCK UP OUR COUNTRY, BY ELECTING EVERYTHING THIS COUNTRY, IS "NOT" ABOUT, WHY NOT DOUBLE DOWN, AND ELECT TWO PEAS IN THE SAME POD? YEAH! GET REAL AMERICA. PERSONALITIES, TV GAME SHOWS, NOW TURNING THE SELECTION OF VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, OVER TO TWO FUCKING "APPRENTICES" IS TOTAL, INSANITY! THE CLOWN CAR TICKET OR, THE NEW YORK MOB, MEETS THE JERSEY BOY, TRUMP CHRISTIE TICKET? OR THE WORN OUT SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE, WHO IS ANOTHER CANDIDATE WHO RUNS TO FATTEN HIS BOOK SALES, A TRUMP GINGRICH TICKET . . . TWO CHEATING HUSBANDS TICKET? DUMP YOUR WITH WHEN SHE HAS CANCER--IF YOU WILL DO THIS TO A WIFE, YOU WILL DO THIS TO THE COUNTRY! I HAVE SAID THIS BEFORE, WHEN MY DAUGHTER SCORED AMAZINGLY HIGH ON HER AVZMAT(?) MILITARY APTITUDE TEST, AND THEY WANTED HER TO BE IN INTEL, DOING ENCRYPTION AND DECRYPTION OF MILITARY CODES AND MESSAGES, TOP SECRET, AND WHEN THEY WERE DOING HER SECURITY CLEARANCE, THEY FUCKING WENT BACK TO HER FIRST GRADE TEACHER, TO SEE WHAT KIND OF STUDENT SHE WAS, AND FOR HER MORAL CHARACTER, THEY WENT TO EVERY BOYFRIEND SHE EVER HAD, TO SEE IF SHE EVER "CHEATED" ON ANY OF THEM, OR HAD SECRETS? WHY, BECAUSE, EVER FAITHFUL MATTERS, SEMPER FIDALIS, THE MARINE MANTRA, MATTERS, BECAUSE, FIDELITY TO THE LAW MATTERS, CHARACTER MATTERS . . . THIS IS NOT ABOUT BOOK SALES, ABOUT POLL RATINGS, ABOUT TRUMP PRODUCTS OR HIS BRAND NAME, THIS IS ABOUT A COMPLEX, COMPLICATED, AND VERY PARADOXICAL WORLD, OF DUPLICITY, AND IMPLICATIONS THAT, ARE NOT RESTRICTED TO THE CHEERING ADORING CROWDS OF PERSONALITIES, SPEWING PLATITUDES AND BUZZ WORDS, PATRIOTISM IS NOTE HAVING TONS OF FLAGS, MOUNTED BEHIND YOU, IT IS A LIFE TIME COMMITMENT, TO THE PRINCIPLES AND CONCEPT OF WHAT THIS COUNTRY WAS, IS, AND CAN BECOME, WE HAVE COME TOO FAR, TO TURN BACK NOW . . . WHEN YOUR GOING THROUGH HELL, JUST KEEP ON GOING, BUT WITH A LEADER OR LEADERS WHO GET IT! SMART, COMPETENT, EXPERIENCED, SCHOOLED, KNOWLEDGEABLE, TRUSTING AND COOL UNDER THE PRESSURE COOKERS OF THE WAR ROOM! SOME NEWS CHANEL I WAS WATCHING THE OTHER DAY, AFTER PRESIDENT OBAMA'S RETURN FROM JAPAN, OR SOMEWHERE, PRESENTED A CHART OF THE REACTIONS OF 15 COUNTRIES, TO A TRUMP PRESIDENCY AND HIS COMPATIBILITY NUMBERS WITH THE DIRECTION THE WORLD IS GOING AND IF HE COULD WORK WITH THE LEADERS OF OTHER COUNTRIES . . . AND IT IS NOT JUST CUTTING DEALS . . . AND THE MAJORITY, GAVE HIM EXTREMELY LOW SCORES. CHINA, WAS WORRIED ABOUT A CLINTON PRESIDENCY, BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID OF HILLARY! THEY SEE HER AS MORE HAWKISH THAN PRESIDENT OBAMA. I THINK IT IS POSITIVE, TO WORK WITH COUNTRIES, BUT, A HEALTHY FEAR IS GOOD TOO! SHIT, RUSSIA, AND NORTH KOREA, ARE BEGGING FOR A TRUMP PRESIDENCY . . . BIRDS OF A FEATHER, DICTATORS, DESPOTS, TYRANTS, FASCISTS! WHICH PRESIDENT IS COMPATIBLE WITH AMERICA? DON'T DO WHAT THE BRITISH DID, WITH A MAN WHO IS THE TRUMP OF ENGLAND, AND VOTE FOR "BREXIT" TO FUCK THE ESTABLISHMENT AND GO CONTRARY TO THE "ESTABLISHMENT" ELECTED OFFICIALS, LIKE PRIME MINISTER, DAVID CAMERON, WHO URGED AGAINST IT, AND THEN THE DAY AFTER THE FUCKING VOTE, WONDER WHAT THE FUCKING "EU" IS, AND WHAT THEY VOTED TO DO, WITH 2 MILLION PEOPLE, THE VERY NEXT DAY, SIGNING PETITIONS TO NOT EXIT THE EUROPEAN UNION! THEN THE CLOWN WHO WAS THE CRAZY HAIRED, LOUD MOUTH, IMMEDIATELY WENT INTO HIDING, AND SO DID THE OTHERS, AND THE PROMISES THAT WERE MADE TRYING TO GET TO THE VOTE AND SUPPORT TO LEAVE, THE EUROPEAN UNION, STARTED TO BACK AWAY, SAYING THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING AND NO THEY COULD NOT MAKE GOOD ON THEIR PROMISES! THE WALL IS NOT, FUCKING TRUMP'S CALL! IF HE THINKS HE IS HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE "ESTABLISHMENT" NOW, WAIT UNTIL HE GETS IN OFFICE, SHOULD AMERICA, JUMP OFF A CLIFF, FOLLOWING OUR FRIENDS ACROSS THE POND, WHO JUST WANTED TO EXPRESS THEIR ANGER, THEIR FRUSTRATION, AND THEN CUT OFF THEIR NOSE TO SPITE THEIR FACE! I LOVED COMEDIAN AND BRIT, JOHN OLIVER"S RANT, THE DAY AFTER THE VOTE, WHEN PEOPLE, LEARNED WHAT THEY ACTUALLY VOTED FOR, BY SAYING, "NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT?" HE SAID, OH, DON'T WORRY THAT WAS JUST A PRACTICE VOTE . . . THEN HE SCREAMS, THAT "WAS" THE FUCKING VOTE!!!!!! LOL! IT IS EASIER TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT THAN TO BE THE PRESIDENT! IT IS LOOKING LIKE IT WILL BE A TWO FEMALE CANDIDATE, TICKET, CLINTON AND WARREN, AND I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER CHOICE! TWO STELLAR RECORDS OF SERVICE AND COMMITMENT TO THE "COMMON MAN AND WOMAN!" WHEN PEOPLE SEE TRUMP AS JUST LIKE THEM? LIKE SINGLE MOTHER OF TWO IN CHICAGO? WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU USING AS A MEASURING STICK? GOD! PLEASE THINK, PEOPLE, THINK, THINK, THINK! ANIMALS CAN EAT, SLEEP AND SHIT . . . DO MORE THAN THAT . . . PERHAPS, TAKE A BREAK FROM YOUR NORMAL TV NEWS AND WATCH, THE OTHER SIDE, STRUGGLE WITH THE ISSUES AND THE CANDIDATES, WATCH NEUTRAL SOURCES, READ NEWSPAPERS! DO NOT WAKE UP, THE NEXT DAY AND SAY, NOW WHO IS TRUMP'S RUNNING MATE? AND THEY DID WHAT? HAD 16 FELONY CHARGES AGAINST THEM AS GOVERNOR, HALF OF THEIR STAFF GOT INDICTED AND CHARGED WITH CRIMES? WHAT, HE LEFT HIS WIFE WHEN HE LEARNED SHE HAD CANCER? SHIT, I DON"T LIKE THAT PERSON, USING ME TO SELL BOOKS? LEARN, WHO THE FUCK, IS REALLY RUNNING! IT MATTERS!

Real Time, With Bill Maher

I loved, it when, Maher, turned to former, RNC, Republican National Committee Chair, Michael Steele, and he said, at what point, will love for America, take precedence over party politics and the GOP hatred for Hillary Clinton?  Senator, Lindsay Graham, I think, if I was listening correctly, finally threw in the towel on Trump, who, doesn't want to the work of running for president, who is failing to take advice from fucking anyone, except his children, who are all under the age of 35, without any fucking experience in hack shit, except, promoting the Trump brand, and that is loosing its shine, and more and more facts, are coming out, about the Trump brand, and what that, truly, stands for, so not much, by way of deep, experience and expertise, by way of anything, so . . . after years of knowing, Hillary, a fellow senator, yields, his passion for his party, to the good of America!  Graham is being the GROWN UP IN THE ROOM!  And, other than, wearing different party hats, this coming New Year, when the new president will be sworn in, there may be more differences, between, Graham and Trump, that there is between Clinton and Graham, just like there is more similarity between Trump and Sanders, than there is between Sanders, who can't even say Hillary's name . . . all he says, is, he will help defeat Trump.  That may have changed in the last week as the two Dems, not really, Sanders, has NEVER been a democrat, he gamed the system, by calling himself a democratic socialist, much in the same bent as Trump, who has been all over the board, politically, but this time, he tapped into the fear, the anger, the frustration, of the general public . . . voting for someone with out the temperament and experience to run the government, who is totally, unwilling to compromise on anything, and who is looking more and more, like his is unfit to be president, not unlike his buddy, Palin, bird of a feather, who was board, at government meetings and often had husband Todd at her side, even with the desk in her office in Juneau, Alaska, doing the heavy lifting!

Now Hillary and Bill, might be able to do the heavy lifting, for each other, but Melania and Donald?  In the words of John Oliver:

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?
