A Disappointing Vegas Democratic Debate

The Trumpty Dumpty Report

In a time of deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act- George Orwell

No legacy is so rich as honesty-William Shakespeare

Let us not become the evil we despise.

    The Vegas Debate was very disappointing, even though the pundits praised it. It was more of a food fight in the school cafeteria than adults maturely and civilly communicating their policies to the American people. Instead of speaking about what they will do to improve the lives and health of the country, and how they will strengthen the Democratic party, they attacked each other. Bernie and Elizabeth Warren raised their flailing hands like two competing third graders wanting the teacher to pick them to answer the question and monopolize attention, while the rest of the class sees them as teacher’s pets.

    Where was Andrew Yang when you needed him the most!!

    Bloomberg was flat and bombed, while Warren used him as her punching bag. Bernie, a millionaire, kept spinning his tape loop, not unlike the child who pulls the string on the Tickle Me Elmo doll, criticizing the millionaire and billionaire club of which he is a member, as was pointed out by Mayor Pete and Mike Bloomberg.
    As we once heard back in the 90’s, “It’s the economy stupid!” It has now been changed to “It’s the tax structure stupid!” The taxing system has allowed the millionaire and billionaire class to avoid paying their share of taxes. The way Amazon and other huge companies avoid taxes is to keep buying up business interests in other companies expanding their squid-like footprint forming a too big to fail multi-national conglomerate. When Amazon, for example, buys up Whole Foods, delivery companies, doorbell systems, shares in electric truck companies, real estate, health care and pharmacies, just to name a few, they can write off these investments, and any losses they incur leading up to profitability, they can write off these losses, while building corporate wealth, and pay no taxes. We common folk cannot have this luxury as we work one, two or three jobs to pay our bills. This is a plutocratic oligarchy.
    Did we really have to hear about all the crass mistakes Bloomberg made when interacting with women, or his racist policies when mayor? Maybe his apologies were not deep enough; but, nevertheless, the press and media will make him accountable to the voters. Did they forget that *RUMP won the electoral college count even though he was shown repeatedly to be a racist, and bigoted misogynist (possible pedophile and rapist) filled with hate, lies, as well as, corrupt and fascist leanings. HE WON IN SPITE OF THIS!!  Stop with the purity tests during the debates!!
    Warren’s purity test is misguided. “It’s about beating Trump, stupid!” Klobuchar and Mayor Pete displayed the most civility. Biden, once again, showed he has trouble putting smooth sentences together. Are you sick of hearing Joe riding the coattails of President Obama? We know you have experience. Tell us what you will do if you win. Stand on your own two feet.

‘Hey Joe, where are goin’ with that Obama picture in your hand? Hey Joe, I said where are you goin’ with that Obama button in your hand? (Lyric adaptation from the song “Hey Joe” written by Billy Roberts and famously performed by Jimi Hendrix.)

    One might believe that people turned off the debate once it got into food fight mode. No one wants to hear Amy K. or the others brag how they are the only candidate who can beat *RUMP, when in fact, they cannot win a single primary!! “It’s about the delegate count, stupid!”
    Monopolizing the debate stage, or failing to really speak about how they will improve American lives, and repair the party and address the health of the country and healing world tensions is what we want to hear.
    We want competent moderators asking important and relevant questions and demanding they end the food fighting and stay focused on their own platform, otherwise, their mikes will be cut off! What we need is equal time for each candidate, too!

    Where is Andrew Yang when we need him most!

    The Cretin is pardoning criminals who need to remain behind bars for their white collar crimes. Lower level crimes get ignored because they are not high profile people who can kiss the ring before the cameras.
    Now we hear that *RUMP wants to rewrite his impeachment and the Russian involvement in his 2016 election. What we hear today from Republican White Nationalist Dana Rohrabacher, working for The Cretin, was an attempt to bribe Julian Assange with a pardon if he publicly stated that the Russians were not the guilty party behind the DNC hack. He would need to kiss the ring of the White House crime boss. Assange didn’t take the bait.
    This sounds like the bribe he tried to make with the Ukrainian president Zelensky to say that the Bidens were guilty in the Ukrainian gas company scandal and the firing of the Ukrainian’s highly corrupt state prosecutor.
    So much for The Cretin’s pal, Susan Collins, who is so delusional that she actually believed that *RUMP “learned a lesson” from the impeachment trial, which ultimately dismissed the charges because Collins voted in favor of it. She is just another coward in her sheep’s clothing gulping down The White Nationalist Kool-Aid. The lesson learned was to plow full speed ahead and break everything in sight!!
    Michael Isikoff has a podcast on Yahoo News called “Conspiracyland” debunking Trump related conspiracies. Isikoff is just getting started.


    You can hear it on the app called “Tunein”, as well. The initial and only episode, thus far, focuses on the unsolved murder of DNC staff member, Seth Rich.
     *RUMP wants to clear his legacy. It doesn’t appear that will happen soon, if ever. The Cretin is raging and flipping his orange flambĂ© knowing that the intelligence community realizes that Russia is, once again, interfering in the election process to get their Idiot Russian Asset reelected. Joe Maguire, the acting director of national intelligence briefed the House Intelligence Committee members on this breech of national security. The Idiot Asset Trump went ballistic learning that this White House foot soldier was acting disloyal to his crime boss.
    Now Maguire is out and a new fascist wannabe and ring kisser, Richard Grenell will be the replacement. *RUMP can now lock down any and all Russian interference intel from Congress and the American people explaining that Putin is helping his Idiot Asset in the 2020 election, in spite of claiming that the 2016 interference was all a “hoax”.
    In addition to Maguire packing up his MAGA hat and Russian Red Tie, is John Rood, the goon in charge of defense department policy. Others who might leave behind their Space Force Jammies in a crumbled pile of scrap material are Victoria Coates and Peter Navarro.
    If the Democratic presidential candidates don’t start displaying presidential integrity, debate classiness, and a clear and defined message palatable message that appeals to every sector of the population, then The Cretin has a good chance of winning the electoral college count, once again.
