Raging Bull$#!%
Trashing the President is the new national pastime. This movement has inspired the most tiresome, predictable, and myopic political commentary and art of my lifetime. In a rare and paradoxical alignment, many establishment mouthpieces and extremists are preaching the same message. They would have us believe that everything was peachy until the orange man stepped into office. Hollywood celebrites are foaming at the mouth with the same lame act we have heard a thousand times to the cheers of the people who voted to put a corrupt warmonger and her serial rapist husband in the White House.
The “resistance” ignored the fact that Obama dropped a bomb every twenty minutes for eight years straight. They did not even care when he bombed a hospital and committed a war crime. They gave Hillary and Obama a pass for spearheading the invasion and regime-overthrow operation in Libya which left tens of thousands dead,chaos and a migrant crisis in it’s wake.
They obsess on the broken promises of Trump, but never held Obama accountable for lying about closing the Gitmo torture base, or restoring the Bill of Rights and ending illegal spying and ending the wars, and…
They did not even speak out against Hillary lying us into the Iraq War.
They were silent when Obama deported more people than any other President in history. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/obamas-deportation-policy-numbers/story?id=41715661
They are outraged by the appointment of corporate insiders to government watchdog positions as if this was something Trump invented, but did not seem to mind when Obama appointed a Monsanto lawyer to run the FDA.

They are drawn into Neo-Cold War conspiracy theories which assume any contact with Russia must be evil. They even seem to prefer possible war with Russia to detente.
All the while, they ignore the Clinton’s ties to Russia and pay-to-play schemes facilitated via The Clinton Foundation. They turn a blind eye to the Wikileaks evidence proving the corruption and collusion the Clinton campaign engaged in.
They are constantly subjecting us to moral grandstanding regarding the sexual exploits of Trump, but where is the #MeToo sympathy and support for these victims of Bill Clinton’s sex crimes?
Juanita Broaddrick (AR)- rape
Eileen Wellstone (Oxford) — rape
Elizabeth Ward Gracen — rape — quid pro quo, post incident intimidation
Regina Hopper Blakely — “forced himself on her, biting, bruising her”
Kathleen Willey (WH) — sexual assault, intimidations, threats
Sandra Allen James (DC) — sexual assault
22 Year Old 1972 (Yale) — sexual assault
Kathy Bradshaw (AK) — sexual assault
Cristy Zercher — unwelcomed sexual advance, intimidations
Paula Jones (AR) — unwelcomed sexual advance, exposure, bordering on sexual assault
Carolyn Moffet -unwelcomed sexual advance, exposure, bordering on sexual assault
1974 student at University of Arkansas — unwelcomed physical contact
1978–1980 — seven complaints per Arkansas state troopers
Monica Lewinsky — quid pro quo, post incident character assault
Their double-standards expose the fact that they do not seem to care about women’s rights, or war, or corruption, unless they can point a finger at the bad man, Trump. I know these people. I know they can do better.
I think if we can channel the hatred of Trump, the man, into a hatred of the corruption rotting the core of our institutions, we can build a movement which lies beyond the fruitless dynamic of consensual paranoia. The current integrated system of mutual hatred assures perpetual failure. It has never produced positive results and historically ends in a civil war senario. Maybe if we try understanding each other and stop dehumanizing people who see the world through a different lens, we can start to mature as a society. We need people fighting fires, not pouring gasoline on them.
