Written by Robert G. Bannon of Vero Beach, FL, I wondered: Is this Bannon related to Steve Bannon (who choked his wife, faced battery charges, and threatened to kidnap his own children)? The one who hates Jews and considers them to be “whiny brats?” Steve Bannon of Breitbart, the fright mart of cringeworthy conspiracy news? Steve Bannon who now serves as Donald Trump’s campaign manager?
My overactive imagination jumps to conclusions; never judge one Bannon by another. Nevertheless, I penned a reply:
Bill Clinton cheats on his wife. Impeach him! Trump demeans women and brags about sexually assaulting them (while cheating on his wives). Elect him?
HRC oversaw the State Department when 4 people died in an embassy attack. Put her in jail. Over 200 people died in embassy attacks under two former Republicans presidents. Huh? Colin Powell called the Benghazi hearings a partisan “witch hunt.” Anyone listening?
Immigrants don't pay taxes. Build a wall and kick them out. Trump doesn't pay taxes. This makes him a genius?
The Clinton Foundation spent 87% of their donations helping people. She’s a crook. In contrast, Trump bought himself artwork, paid lawyers, and paid off investigators to avoid prosecution … spending less than 5% of donations on actual charity work (forcing NY State to shut down his fraudulent foundation). Savvy?
HRC declares a $700k tax loss. Lock her up! Trump declares a billion dollar tax loss in one year … leaving behind a trail of bankruptcies, lawsuits, and small contractors who were never paid for their work. This makes America ggrr8?
Hillary apologizes for using private email servers. Lock her up! Trump lies about everything he actually said (with his own voice on tape). Hero?
Honest Republicans have disavowed him. Yet, Trump supporters filter only the news they want to hear. Their double standards are offensive. Their blind willingness to support a scoundrel with recycled rhetoric is absurd. Tone deaf denials are not facts. Hypocrisy is not a platform.
A list of republican hypocrisy.
ReplyDeleteOnly a few examples of situational ethics, or damned lies, as I prefer to call them. How much furor was raised when documents surfaced showing how Bush and Major faked a reason for going to war in Iraq? Not much in the US and the truest of truisms ever to be true is that first comes the conclusion and then comes the selective outrage and then the ad hoc hypotheses added to the assertions to keep the conclusion from falsification.
ReplyDeleteAnd that, of course, it another way of saying humans suck, I want to be a dog.
Oh, and BTW, Unless they're being payed in cash, illegal immigrants pay withholding tax, and they all pay sales tax and property tax, etc. And no, they don't get social security or free medical care.
ReplyDeleteBe interesting to see if there is a response.
