Trumping the Rights of Others
Trumping the Rights of Others

Presidential hopeful Donald Trump isn’t having the best day when it comes to the opinion of him with regards to his treatment of women. The New York Times published what Trump called a “hit piece” titled “Crossing the Line: How Donald Trump behaved with women in private.” While there are many cases including his initial reaction to what should happen to women who get an abortion, it seems one of the models in the NY Times article says her story was spun.

Stories of his anti-Mexican and anti-Muslim sentiments have also been reported widely. Yet the candidate will continue to tell you that those groups love him.

Speaking of love, my biggest efforts in the charity challenge are usually Google Plus. With the changes to their system, I have noticed over the last 6 months that engagement is down considerably. Last year in the first week I had 545 new followers there. This year, a measly 1 net new follower. Maybe it is becoming the ghost town everyone claimed it to be. But not giving up and thanks for all those who support the efforts each year.

Sarah Palin – Mother of the Year

Sarah Palin is back in the news and has my vote to win Mother of the Year. The day after her son allegedly was drunk and hit his girlfriend, Palin was on the stumping block announcing that she was backing Donald Trump for President.

Rather than postponing that speech to be at her son’s arraignment on Tuesday, she went ahead. And rather than keeping silent about her son’s legal woes, she decided to turn it into a political statement about how Obama doesn’t care about veterans especially those with PTSD.

I do not disregard any soldiers issues with PTSD and don’t deny that Track could be suffering from that. But the vast majority of veteran sufferers do not lash out like he is alleged to have done. In fact one veteran’s organization has already come out saying it wasn’t fair thing to say.

Sarah Palin is lucky enough to have the financial means and the connections to get her son the treatment he deserves. I wish she would focus on that rather than using PTSD as a political tool to try and bring down the other side.

Trump the Grinch

Is Donald Trump the Grinch? His continual fear mongering to win support for his Presidential run garners a lot of press and quite a few supporters. However, his current rants against Muslims, including barring any Muslims from entering the country and starting a database on those who are already here, reminds me of Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950’s. McCarthyism created unsubstantiated claims that certain people were Communists causing the accused to lose their jobs or careers.

So what better time of year than to mashup Trump with the Grinch. How the Grinch Stole Christmas has a great song called “You’re a mean one Mr Grinch” which you can listen the first verse here.

I came up with the first verse. Anyone want to take a chance at a second?

Trump and Clinton – The Connection

Donald Trump is an astute political investor having donated to candidates on both sides of the aisle. However his history with donating and supporting Hillary Clinton has some conspiracy theorists wondering why threw his name in for the Republican Primary. Could it be that this was just an elaborate ruse set up by the Clinton campaign to screw up the Republican Primary. Imagine a plan to having the other candidates fall all over themselves trying to be just as obnoxious and unapologetic as Trump which could help a Hillary victory in the general election.

Trump Motivates the Troops

Presidential Candidate Donald Trump must have felt empowered after announcing his Presidential Candidacy including this statement:

“When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”

Well what most might think there’s another egotistical celebrity/rich man using the Presidential campaign to draw attention to their outlandish notions, it seemed to have worked. Trump has surged ahead of the rest of the Republicans.

But now some are claiming he bombastic remarks have gone to far, thus marking the point of his decline. Senator and former POW John McCain has been going after Trump on his plans for Immigration Reform. In discussing the Senator, Trump said

“He was a war hero because he was captured. I like people who weren’t captured.”

Makes you wonder as this editorial cartoon ponders what else he might say to our current troops and veterans.

Editorial Cartoon: Osama Dead

Can anyone tell me what joke was repeated over and over on Sunday night? If you said “Donald Trump is demanding to see Bin Laden’s Death Certificate” you would be right. Go see for yourself.

In fact, the first time I saw the joke, I thought it would make a cute editorial cartoon. By the 20th time I saw it, I thought it was a little overdone. I guess that didn’t stop these editorial cartoonists.

The basis of the joke (for the uninformed) is that Donald Trump is toying with running for President. So his first public act of late has been to join the birthers in their efforts to say that President Barack Obama wasn’t actually born in Hawaii so he shouldn’t have been eligible to be President. Trump had been calling for Obama’s Birth Certificate. Of course when Obama did share it, Trump just took credit for being able to put that rumor to rest and allow the country to move on. Ever the opportunist.

So I thought I would take the joke (which you see in panel one) and go a slightly different route for the punchline. Did I use an outdated reference with the title “Weekend at Donalds”???
