Perceptions, people.
Don’t even think of responding until you have read the bottom line. It was created by someone with Asperger Syndrome and is, in its own way, incredibly brilliant.
I’m horrible
So don’t try to convince me that
I have real qualities
Because at the end of the day
I hate myself in every single way
And I’m not going to lie to myself by saying
There is value in me that matters
Every day I will remind myself
That I am an ugly worthless terrible person
And nothing you say will make me believe
I can give and receive love
Because no matter what
I am too awful to be loved
And I am in no position to believe that
Lovability does exist within me
Because whenever I look in the mirror I always think
Am I as vile as people say?

TDS - Trump Derangement Syndrome
What is TDS or Trump Derangement Syndrome ?
It is a mental condition in which a person has been driven effectively insane due to their dislike and utter hate for Donald Trump to the point which they abandon all logic and reason.
Symptoms can be very diverse ranging from hysterical outbursts to a complete mental collapse.
It is prevalent on TV with the daily outbursts from 'The View' panel to "Saturday Night Live' skits mocking the President.
It is visible in politics with TDS being obvious in Hillary Clinton, Maxine Waters, Barack Obama, and many more.
President Trump did not make liberals insane his election simply helped bring it out into the open.
It is obvious in social media. I cannot look at my Facebook home page without seeing it with mentally deranged friends of mine who are stressing themselves out with constant whining about the least little thing this President does.

Giuliani - "The Fool for our time"
Giuliani flips so much, he should work as a cook at IHOP.

In response to:
Rudy Giuliani is the fool for our time

Rudy Giuliani started Tuesday in the manner Americans have come to expect of the president’s lawyer: He attacked former FBI director James Comey by tweeting a cartoon image of Bashful from Disney’s “Snow White.”
Giuliani deleted the tweet, and anyway, it’s not clear why he chose Bashful. Considering Giuliani’s recent antics, the character that comes to mind is Dopey.
In fact, hours after the aborted Bashful missive, Giuliani was dopey once again. He had told CNN on Sunday that “no one signed” a letter of intent for Donald Trump to build a Moscow project. On Tuesday, CNN obtained the letter — signed by Trump.
Giuliani, asked by the New York Daily News to explain himself, said, “I don’t think I said nobody signed it.” Completing the reversal, he said “of course” Trump signed it: “How could you send it but nobody signed it?”
The “fool” has been a dramatic fixture at least since Shakespeare scribbled, and Giuliani is the fool for our time. Occasionally he speaks accidental truths, but mostly he plays the clown. He’s America’s crazy uncle at a time when, according to a Wired tally, seven sets of prosecutors and investigators are pursuing at least 17 court cases involving Trump.
“Twitter allowed someone to invade my text with a disgusting anti-President message,” an alarmed Giuliani tweeted a few weeks ago, calling Twitter “card-carrying anti-Trumpers.” In fact, Giuliani had accidentally sabotaged his own tweet with a punctuation error — “G-20.In” — that automatically created a hyperlink to an Indian Web address. A clever observer quickly bought the domain and created a page that said “Donald Trump is a traitor.” Giuliani’s errant accusation was all the funnier because he’s also Trump’s “cybersecurity adviser.”
Right after the hyperlink high jinks, Giuliani tweeted a string of gibberish: “Kimim ° has f.” A previous Giuliani tweet saying only the word “You” prompted a fill-in-the-blank festival.
The former New York mayor, 74, has long been a loose cannon, asserting that there had not been any “successful Islamic terrorist attacks” during the George W. Bush administration, saying Trump’s travel ban was a legal way to do a “Muslim ban,” and predicting a “pretty big surprise” right before Comey reopened the Hillary Clinton email investigation. Alternately ill-informed and indiscreet, he’s just the guy you’d want as your lawyer.
Giuliani began as Trump’s lawyer in the spring by comparing FBI agents to “stormtroopers” and later claiming a law-enforcement informant was a “spy.”
He pivoted from describing Michael Cohen as “an honest, honorable lawyer” who is “not going to lie” to a “proven liar” who has “lied all his life.”
He said he would charge special counsel Robert Mueller’s office “with a lance” to defend Ivanka Trump, but Jared Kushner is “disposable.”
He said Trump couldn’t be indicted as president even if he “shot” Comey.
He undermined months of Trump’s “no collusion” claims by proclaiming instead that “collusion is not a crime.”
He defended Trump on NBC’s “Meet the Press” by saying “truth isn’t truth.”
He admitted publicly that the June 2016 Trump Tower meeting was held “for the purpose of getting information about Clinton,” upending the official line that it was about adoption.
He suggested guilt when he told the Daily Beast “this was not a big crime” because “nobody got killed, nobody got robbed.”
And, days ago, he raised the possibility that associate Roger Stone gave Trump advance notice that WikiLeaks would release emails about Clinton stolen by Russia, saying “if” Stone had, “it’s not a crime.”

Elizabeth Warren - Pocahontas at least since 1986
Seems Elizabeth Warren has been posing as an American Indian at least as far back as April 18, 1986.
Her registration card from the State Bar of Texas shows her signature on the form and claims her race as American Indian.

Corbyn Vs. Omar, And The Battle For Anti-Semitism
With allegations of anti-Semitism swirling within the Democratic Party, many are comparing the increasingly radical American Left with the Labour Party of the United Kingdom.
Led by Jeremy Corbyn, the Left-wing party have been embroiled with their own scandals, with many members of the party (including Corbyn) accused of being anti-Semitic, or enabling the spread of anti-Semitism.
There are multiple similarities between the anti-Semitism of the radical elements of the Democratic Party and the Labour Party. While vile “classic” examples of anti-Semitism exist, the majority of high-profile criticisms are related to anti-Semitic rhetoric thinly veiled as “anti-Israel.” Both Corbyn and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) have supported the boycott, divestment, and sanctions (BDS) movement, spoken in support of terrorist organizations such as Hamas and Hezbollah, and used anti-Semitic tropes on multiple occasions.
Additionally, many supporters of anti-Semites within the Democratic Party or the Labour Party have refused to acknowledge that anti-Semitism exists within their ranks, preferring to focus on the claim that anti-Semitism is exclusive to the political Right. They willingly ignore that, while anti-Semitism clearly exists on the radical Right, it has yet to become part of the mainstream Right. The same cannot be said of the Left.
With these similarities in mind, alongside Europe’s dark history of anti-Semitism, it is understandable that many are using the spread of anti-Semitism in the Labour Party as a warning for the Democrats. Many political commentators are concerned that Corbyn’s brand of anti-Semitic Leftism will penetrate the American Left.
This concern, however, is actually the wrong way around. The spread of anti-Semitism in the Democratic Party is far more concerning than in the Labour Party. While both forms are undeniably despicable, and the Democratic Party’s form of anti-Semitism is younger than its counterpart across the Atlantic Ocean, the American Left’s anti-Semitism is being given the tools to thrive.
The reason for this is that the anti-Semitism from the likes of Ilhan Omar has been completely embraced by the mainstream elements of the Democratic Party, as well as by many among the mainstream media. House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) effectively prostrated herself at the feet of anti-Semitism by making absurd excuses for Omar. Other high-profile members of the Democratic Party, including several presidential candidates, have rushed to the defense of their anti-Semitic “allies.”
Meanwhile, in the United Kingdom, the Labour Party is being torn apart by an internal struggle against systematic bigotry, alongside constant pressure from the mainstream media. Just recently, several Labour MPs resigned, forming their own Independent Party in protest of the widespread anti-Semitism which is being allowed to fester. Labour MPs and members have spent years condemning Corbyn and his anti-Semitic associates, supported by Jewish groups on both sides of the political aisle.
While Corbyn is publicly and vocally vilified for his revolting views by members of his own party, the Democrats are rushing to Omar’s side. Despite voicing clear views of hatred toward an ally of the United States (and the only democracy in the Middle East), she remains on the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Despite her repeated use of anti-Semitic tropes, there have been no resignations, just disingenuous attempts at defense or deflection. The Democrats can’t even agree that anti-Semitism is worth condemnation, after playing their own “All Lives Matter” card by suggesting that we should condemn “all hate.”

Dirt...
I wasn't going to make this a political blog... but it has to do with someone in politics.
Michael Cohen was in the news this past week giving (possibly damaging) testimony against President Trump. Why possible damage, is that many of the things he said would need to be verified.
If I told you to protect someone I buried evidence to a murder and many years later I changed my mind and wanted to reveal I knew what happened, you could dispute it until the evidence was found, forensics verified and then confirmed what I said was true. It doesn't mean I lied, it means my story needed to be verified.
Did he say enough to justify research? Yeah, I think so.
Listening to comments made by conservatives, everything Cohen said was a lie and that he made everything up to save his own skin and reduce prison time. Not one of them wavered with their story that Cohen was 100% BS.
What was it... 10 years that Cohen worked for Trump and he didn't know any dirt about the man? Be serious. If you are convinced that Cohen has no verifiable dirt on Trump, then you would also dispute charges of tax fraud/evasion on Trump should that arise.
That's my opinion.

Hollywood College Scandal - Question I Have.....
By now most have been aware of the massive Hollywood College scandal involving celebrities paying to have their children accepted into universities that they may not have earned a spot on their own. If you are unaware I will provide a link to the scandal. My question is this.
Should the students who benefited from this scandal be expelled from school?
It's a simple yes or no question. I say yes they should. They did not earn their way in. The actions of their parents deprived some other person from attending that school.
It is no different than if their parents had stolen an automobile and given it to the child. The child is not at fault but still cannot keep the car.
