At the root of political corruption is money, lots of money.

...To run for office requires lots of money. How can we get all that money out of the political game of getting elected? It simple, but too simple for Republican Idiots who are totally against this idea:
A. Public Funding of National Elections,
B. No Private Money in Senate, House, and Presidential Elections.
C. Limit the length of elections and time allowed for meetings, rallies, and marches
D. Limit what the money can be used for.
E.. Yes, somehow get the HUGE AMOUNTS OF MONEY OUT OF POLITCS.....

..................AND AMOUNTS ARE HUGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have received a number of letters asking for campaign contributions for Senate Elections that take place in 2022, and 2024. In the literature for these current senators, there is no mention at all as to when they are running for reelection. ... NONE, NADA, NOPE, NOTHING, ZERO, ETC.

..I have had to look these current Democratic Senators up to see when their next election will be. At least 5 are not running until 2022 or 2024. None of those 5 are running in 2020. Yes, I donate to Democrats and Democrats ONLY..but asking for money 3 to 5 years in advance of the elections, shows just how rotten the system really is. Repeat, none of the 5 is running in 2020. All five want to get a head start on their opponents who will be well funded and protected by the Trump Presidency and his very rich backers. ..On and on it goes, where it stops, nobody knows...
... I am under no illusions. Nothing will be done to solve this problem.
.....And I close with this question, "Who knows what evil lurks within the hearts of men?.........
.........Answer: The Shadow Knows....................end of rant..........................................

If you got this far, I thank you for reading this. My hats are off to you.

Why Trump will lose. Donald Trump is a crook.

...Nancy Pelosi and Adam Schiff will take their time to prove that Donald Trump is a crook and ordered things that were against the law. And because of that bottom line, "Trump ordered things that were against the law", Trump will lose. He can say that he didn't know, or that he didn't do it, but that won't work. He will be impeached, and the evidence will be there for all to see. WHY? Because the evidence will be clear and simple. Trump was breaking the law as he has done in the past. Sure people will take a shot for him, but some won't. Some have already taken a shot for him, and some won't.
...But Trump will lose because he is a mean and vengeful crook who has broken the law. It will be proven that he broke the law.. Not everyone will take a shot for Donald Trump. Since he is sure he will get away with it, is probably the reason why he will lose. Most crooks who get caught think they can get away with it. Trump has been getting away with s**t for years. Not this time.

White House Press Secretary, Stephanie Grisham, quoted last month, "No More Press Briefings"

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told "FOX & Friends" Monday morning, that she will not hold traditional press briefings "right now" because it "had become a lot of just theater" and "a lot of reporters were doing it to… get famous."

“He’s his own best spokesperson… also, he’s the most accessible president in history,” Grisham said about President Trump.

“They’re writing books now, they’re all getting famous off of this presidency, so I think it’s great what we’re doing now,” Grisham added.

Co-host Brian Kilmeade asked Grisham how Trump reacted to the way former press secretaries Sean Spicer and Sarah Sanders were treated by critics like NBC's "Saturday Night Live."

"I think it’s so important that the spokesperson for the president can adequately speak to his policies and get his message out there. I think the president saw that that’s not what was happening," Grisham said. "It had become, again, theater, and they weren’t being good to his people. He doesn’t like that. He’s very loyal to his people, and he put a stop to it."

Top Philadelphia Police Commander accused of Sexually Assaulting Officers He Mentored

Source: CNN

CNN:


Philadelphia Police Chief Inspector Carl Holmes has been arrested and charged with sexually assaulting three female officers to whom he presented himself as a mentor, according to prosecutors.

Holmes, 54, one of the highest ranking members of the department, allegedly used his position to insulate himself against the allegations, which resulted in internal affairs investigations against his accusers, a grand jury presentment said.

"All three women testified about the extent to which (Philadelphia Police Department) culture discourages reporting a fellow officer, especially a boss," the document said. "Doing so can leave you vulnerable, and on the wrong side of the blue line."

Trump is going down, and he is going way down .

...Donald Trump will lose big. He will lose bigger than he has ever lost before. He has been lucky in the past and also he had "experts" working to prevent his destruction. Michael Cohen was on board from 2006 until May 2018. He decided to pay his dues and get free of Trump. Cohen was the absolute "expert" of keeping Trump from trouble of all kinds. But he is not available any more.
..But there is another so called "expert" around. His name is Adam Schiff. Schiff was/is an expert in prosecution. He was a prosecutor in his other job, before becoming a congressman. He prosecuted a whole lot of criminals. So, Schiff has a whole lot of experience in the field of "prosecution." He and Nancy Pelosi also have a whole lot of contacts in the "prosecution field" who they can get help from. That "help" would like to see criminals pay the price for their "evil deeds".
..So there you have it. One expert in helping Trump avoid trouble is totally "unavailable." And the experts on prosecuting criminals are available. Schiff and his associates have experience in dealing with people who break laws. Does Trump's current group of lawyers have experience in protecting presidents who have broken federal laws? Just asking. Does the current group have experience in dealing with Donald Trump? I don't know. But, my guess is that Donald Trump is a very difficult individual to deal with because of many aspects of his personality. (Just one aspect is that, Donald has difficulty with telling the truth, and he lies a whole lot)
...Therefore, for the above reasons, as well as many not stated and obvious to many, Donald Trump is going down, and he and his gang are going way down.

It feels like Trump has lost, and the game is over. But, I don't know the future.

...This is a feeling about the future. It feels like I felt when John Dean testified to the Watergate committee, and also after they found an 18 minute gap in the tape. Who knows the future? Not me. I speculate that this feels like a movie or play where the bad guy is loosing and he is being defeated. It is all over, but the final last 15 minutes, and the curtain closes. Nothing can be done to change the play, the bad guy has lost, and the celebration will begin as soon as the actors take their bows and the lights come on. (like the end of the first Star Wars movie in 1977)
...Why? Trump is not a nice guy. He acts like a rotten bully, and he really seems to be one. If you watch a real bad guy go down, you cheer for his final moment of loss. That the hero does what can be done to the bully, and the bully leaves town, or whatever happens to the bully in this form of movie or play. It ain't up to me, but that is the feeling I get from what seems to be happening. It is indeed speculation as to what will happen in the future, but it sure seems that the nasty bully has lost. And that makes me happy just to think about that.. I sure hope that is the way this one turns out. That conclusion of this movie as described here, would be good for the entire world, not just the U.S.A.

Hong Kong Parking Space Sells for One Million Dollars: CNN

No,,,I did NOT...repeat...Did Not...make this up..Hit the link and read about it...


https://www.cnn.com/travel/article/most-expensive-parking-space-hong-kong-intl-hnk/index.html

Hong Kong (CNN) — Hong Kong is a global financial capital, a haven for foodies -- and also a place where it can be more expensive to keep a car than to own a home.

Case in point: on October 24, businessman Johnny Cheung reportedly sold a 135-square-foot parking space for a whopping $969,000 to an as-yet-undentified buyer, according to the South China Morning Post.

The space is in front of The Center, a 79-floor steel office tower in Hong Kong's busy Central neighborhood. Companies such as DBS Bank and the Robertsons Solicitors law firm have office space there.

Cheung had owned four of the 400 available spaces at The Center, and had previously sold the other three for six-figure sums.

In just 2 sentences, President Donald Trump impeached himself. (human scum comment)

"The Never Trumper Republicans, though on respirators with not many left, are in certain ways worse and more dangerous for our Country than the Do Nothing Democrats. Watch out for them, they are human scum! "

________________________________________________________________________________________

Trump said this yesterday. He tweeted at 1: 48 ET
_______________________________________________________________________________________

...Saying something like this for everyone to see, is not really appropriate for the President of the United States. Sure, Trump is mad about this series of events which he cannot control, but there is a line a world leader must not cross. And there it is for all to see. He accuses colleges of being "dangerous for our Country," but he lacks the discipline necessary to be a leader of our country. Because of that lack of discipline, Donald Trump has proved that, "Donald Trump is dangerous to our country." And there is the proof in 2 easy to understand sentences.
