Trump calls for media to be shot…
I haven’t posted on here in a while. I’ve pretty much stayed out of politics and the US election circus, but with just a day to go before the chaos begins in earnest, yet again it seems cult ‘dear leader’ and former Commander in Thief Donny Trump has once again called on journalists to be attacked.
Naturally I get a little sick and tired of tyrants and wannabe tyrants who either threaten to, or simply do imprison and murder people like myself and my colleagues in print, online and TV around the world.
And for anyone complaining about the media, fair enough, complain away as you’re able to do whilst enjoying your hard won freedoms and your ability to pretty much say and do what you like without the threat of the goon squad turning up to arrest you or a drone tracking you before dropping an incendiary device on you and your family. It’s because of all those who fought and died for the ability to have a free press that you’re able to voice your opinion on the press, or the government or military or police and the institutions you’re voting for.
Trump’s comments are not funny. I am beyond sick and tired of this zombie cult and its wealthy enablers and those spineless members of the GOP who have lost all sense of morality and duty and any claim to be the ‘party of law and order.’ There is nothing clever in wearing a badge which says, ‘I’m voting for the felon.’
Seriously? Think about that for a second. You’re happy to vote for a felon? And yet those in jail you’d rather suffer in appalling conditions with no chance of actually being rehabilitated? You’d rather they rot there? Surely the founding fathers never meant for a convicted felon to be eligible for office. Most felons can’t even vote. Can the Orange buffoon even vote for himself?
As to the ChINO’s (Christians in name only), the rabid, foaming at the mouth, ultra hypocritical, super hysterical evangelical cult followers, already pre programmed to believe in fairy tales and hand over wads of cash on Sunday at cult meetings, you have to hand it to Trump and his cohorts - for the only genius he has displayed in campaigning was his ability to glom onto such easy marks - those already predisposed to send cash, praise nonsense, believe what they’re told and do as they’re told with an inherent ability to shout loudly and play the victim card if anyone does not choose to think as they do.
And for all the women choosing to vote for Trump whilst ignoring the morally bankrupt GOP elephant in the room when it comes to Trump’s long and well documented history of misogyny and abuse of women - it’s really fairly simple. Would you be happy for your fathers, your husbands, your sons or male colleagues to go around grabbing women by the p***y and acting the way Trump does? Is this the example you wish for them to follow? Would you teach them to treat women like this? Yet you’re happy to let a wannabe tinpot dictator get away with such behavior?
As the saying goes - ‘tomorrow is just another day.’ But it isn’t - not tomorrow, November 5th. What happens in the USA matters. It affects the entire planet. There is a clear choice to be made between the candidates, neither of whom is perfect. And yet there is one who does not seek to sow the division and hatred of the other, there is one who does not have any convictions for corruption or for lying or cheating or abusing people. There is one who does not seek retribution on anyone who is perceived to have acted against them. There is one whose almost entire former staff have not been convicted of crimes and sent to prison. There is one who former generals, top diplomats and civil servants do not warn against. There is one who does not resort to insulting everyone they dislike with trivial, disrespectful baby names as if in kindergarten. There is one who isn’t acting solely for themselves and their personal fortune and financial gain. There is one who does not seek office to ensure they are able to meddle with the judicial system to keep themselves out of jail. There is one who does not claim to praise God yet never goes to church. There is one who does not call for the media to be shot!
It seems to me the choice between right and wrong, moral and immoral could not be clearer and yet the polls show the two candidates are neck and neck. I’ve never known anything like it. And of course this causes much anxiety at home as my family, extended family and many, many friends and relatives both here and across the pond vote and prepare to vote.
So good luck out there. Get out and vote if you are eligible. Don’t waste it. Journalists all around the world have paid the ultimate price for speaking out as they play their part in ensuring your freedom to do just that. Don’t let anyone shoot them - for if they do, it won’t be long before they come for you too.
To all my colleagues covering this chaos, stay safe out there. May the best candidate win…
And here is the report…
'Poll shows Harris ahead in early voting as Trump jokes about reporters being shot
Trump used a rally inPennsylvania to complain about gaps in the bulletproof shields surrounding him and suggested he would have no concerns about reporters being shot at if there were another assassination attempt against him.
“To get me, somebody would have to shoot through the fake news and I don’t mind that so much,” he said, adding the press were “seriously corrupt people”. Trump’s communications director claimed in a statement the comments were supposedly an effort to look out for the welfare of the news media.'
