What a Great Country

Get a cuppa at the beginning then listen to the whole thing. Uplifting, moving, this will make you feel better than anything else.


I wish I could find the whole text, but here is a preview:
Since her first speech Michelle said she was “so humbled” by the response, a torrent of letters from women sharing their stories, parents demanding better for their children and men saying such behavior is unacceptable.
“This kind of courage and decency and compassion, this is who we are,” Obama said. “This is the America that I know.”

Michelle attacked Trump for what she described as his utter insensitivity and contempt toward women, people with disabilities and other members of society, saying that Trump “doesn’t understand us.”
That’s why he sees veterans enduring the wounds of war as weak. Why he insults Gold Star families, folks who’ve spent months praying not to get that knock at the door. Heroes who love this country so much, they’re willing to die for it. He just can’t see them.
Maybe it’s easy for him to mock people with disabilities because he’s unable to see their strength and their contributions. Maybe that’s why he demeans and humiliates women as if we’re objects meant solely for pleasure and entertainment, rather than human beings worthy of love and respect. He just doesn’t understand us,” the first lady told a crowd of 6,907 at the Phoenix Convention Center.

Michelle Obama full speech

Thank you Michelle Obama for opening up the conversation for women who have been the victims of trumpish/ man babies/ abusers for many past years. 
We women are now beginning to discuss our experiences and shedding some of the anger, frustration, powerlessness we felt.

My children and the people I know in CV are caring, respectful adults. 

One more thing for us all to do - go and VOTE.

R U Still Confused

Pay attention:
Hillary Clinton LIES LESS than any other politician,
Donald Trump LIES MORE than any other human anywhere.

Hope you feel better, 
I'm with Her.

Cat in the Hat

Apologies to Cat in the Hat

I do not like you down my shirt.
I do not like you up my skirt.
I do not like you near my rump.
I do not like you Mr. Trump.

Has to be noted

Look, I’m no mental health expert and I’m not involved in the medical field at all. But based on what I’ve read and can plainly see about Donald Trump, he exhibits nearly every characteristic linked to a sociopath. 
  • He: Doesn’t believe the rules or laws apply to him. 
  • Seems to have no concern about the consequences of his actions. Is impulsive. 
  • Shows frequent signs of being reckless. 
  • Is unpredictable. 
  • Lacks morals. 
  • Is a narcissist.
  • Has proven to be hot-tempered and a bit of a loose cannon. 
  • Lacks empathy or sympathy for others. 
  • Is manipulative to get what he wants. 
  • Almost never apologizes. 
  • Often invents outrageous lies about his success or experiences. 
  • Seems to believe that what he says is the truth, even if it isn’t. 
  • He is essentially the textbook definition of a sociopath. 

However, despite the fact that he exhibits all of these signs without shame, millions of people support him.

Trump is a man who has:

This is a man who has:
Mocked a man with disabilities.
Attacked the parents of a fallen American hero.
Belittled POWs and the war record of Sen. John McCain.
Lied about how much money he raised for veterans.
Called a former Miss Universe “disgusting” and fat, telling his Twitter followers to find her non-existent sex tape. Accused an American-born federal judge of being unfit to do his job because of his Mexican heritage.
Likely avoided paying taxes for nearly two decades.
Called most Mexican immigrants rapists and criminals, even though that’s not remotely factual.
Lied about seeing “thousands and thousands” of Muslims celebrating in New Jersey on 9/11.
Lied about getting a letter from the NFL complaining about the debate schedule.
Tried to exploit the death of an African American woman in Chicago to say that’s why black voters will support him. Found the “bright side” to tragedies because his poll numbers tend to go up.
Settled with the Department of Justice after his company was found guilty of racially discriminating against minorities.
Has cheated on at least one wife.
Was just discovered on video admitting that he not only tried to cheat on his current wife, but he attempted to do so with another married woman.
Had his first wife publicly say that he did nothing when it came to raising their children until they were old enough to talk business.
Tweeted that women should have expected to be sexually assaulted when they mixed males and females together in the military.
Said he wants to target the families of terrorists.
Stated that he wants to ban an entire religion.
Praised a Russian president who obviously hates the U.S. and Americans.
Encouraged the Russian government to commit espionage against Americans.
Insinuated that another Republican’s wife was ugly.
Tried to implicate another Republican’s father in JFK’s assassination.
Sought out the help of former Fox News CEO Roger Ailes after he was fired following multiple allegations that he had sexually harassed women for years.
Made Breitbart’s Steve Bannon one of his top campaign people.
Had a former campaign manager abruptly resign after a report came out linking him to pro-Russian groups that were directly trying to undermine U.S. policy in eastern Europe.
Called Carly Fiornia ugly.
Has said climate change was a hoax created by the Chinese — then denied saying it.
Was a leading conspiracy theorist when it came to the racist-driven birther conspiracies against President Obama. Dismissed nearly eight years of accusing the president of not being an American with a less than 30 second statement where he didn’t apologize for any of it.
Tried to blame Hillary Clinton for his racism.
Re-tweeted anti-African American propaganda created by a white supremacy group.
Played dumb about knowing who former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke was.
Skipped a presidential debate because he was scared of a moderator.
Has, on several occasions, suggested he finds his daughter attractive.
Called a husband doing things like changing diapers and helping with the children, a man “trying to be the wife. ” Has said he wants more countries to have nuclear weapons.
Said he can’t release his tax returns because they’re currently being audited — even though the IRS said that’s a lie.

Feels he has the right to sexually assault women.

Bush Cheney Emails

http://occupydemocrats.com/2016/10/10/trump-wont-mention-bush-cheney-deleted-22-million-emails/
While Trump obsesses over Hillary Clinton’s e-mail “scandal”, one wonders why the he never mentions the Bush Administration and the April 12, 2007 revelation that the White House had “lost” 5 million e-mails related to an investigation into the partisan firing of eight U.S. attorneys. Eventually, the true number was found to be over 22 million e-mails.

Crowdpac, Kindness versus Trump

Mr. Trump, we challenge you: release your tax returns and we'll donate to veterans organizations.
An interesting project by a young serviceman, where you can pledge, it could be falling for a trump trick but in a good way.  Click
