No One, not Democrats or Republicans, Have any Faith or Trust in Washington Politicians

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart

 

Several members of my family who have supported a more conservative agenda throughout their lifetime, no longer trust either political party in Washington. Although I remain an Independent, I find it impossible to support any man or woman in Washington who claims to be a Republican. The Party of Lincoln met its final demise in January of 2017.

The truth is that I no longer have faith in any politician in Washington. The very fact that both political parties allowed a man who hates America to become our 45th president is unforgivable. This was final proof that politicians protect each other, the people must fend for themselves.

Crime in every form exists on Capitol Hill. Corruption is rampant and we continue to experience a dysfunctional government.

Let me give you a small example which is actually a “big deal.”

When a Fisher Price product began killing dozens of babies, it went unreported by our government. They were aware of the danger. However, a stipulation in recall legislation protects the “reputation” of large and once respected companies and nothing was done. Only an exposure by the non-profit “Consumer Reports” forced the media to inform parents of the product’s danger to their infants.

Is this the right way to run a country, a government which places corporations in priority over its people? I think not.

Most Americans waste the only power they have over an incompetent and uncaring group of men and women who are charged with running our nation. Most votes are cast based on lies told in television commercials, or by the fake media like Fox News. However, the mainstream media fails us as well. During the 2015/2016 campaign season all networks gave Trump five times more coverage than all other candidates combined. They also admitted that they supported Trump. Coverage of Hillar Clinton was primarily involved with the fake FBI investigation into her private e-mails and the fact that she had a bad cold.

Trust no one, and understand that no politician deserves your respect. The few who did are long buried, and would be ashamed of all 545 men and women taking up space in Washington today.

The Real Victims in the Trump Saga

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s defense strategy has changed, slightly. He claims that all of his legal battles are founded in political strategy, created by his enemies. He is playing the role of a victim. I guess part of Trump’s decline in mental acuity is a severe loss of memory. He appears to forget that many of the crimes he is accused of began long before he made the mistake of seeking the presidency. Others, including his insurrection on January 6, and stolen classified documents are actions witnessed by every American. We are not falling for your bullshit, Donnie Boy. THE REAL VICTIMS A brief look at Trump’s history reveals a life of crime. From bribing public officials, and refusing to pay contractors, to allegations of physical, sexual assault, the orange buffoon left a long trail of victims. As your illegitimate president, he violated the basic human rights of thousands. According to medical experts, Trump’s failure to take timely action to prevent an oncoming

Aileen Cannon: A Corrupt Judge Appointed by a Lifelong Criminal

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Aileen Cannon is a federal judge, appointed by Donald Trump. She has been charged with one of the most important cases involving Trump’s life of crime; his theft of classified documents when he was evicted from the White House on January 20, 2021. Yesterday she gave Trump a gift by delaying his upcoming trial. The events which followed prove that he violated the Espionage Act of 1917. He is also guilty of lying to the FBI, a federal crime. Before the raid on Mar-a-Lago, when they discovered boxes of national secrets hidden throughout the millionaire’s playpen, he claimed that he had returned all of them. TRUMP AND HIS SUPPORTERS: LIES, MISDIRECTION, BASELESS ATTACKS You might have noticed that Trump, his failed party, and his supporters constantly lie about everything. There is undeniable proof that the only attempted fraud in the 2020 election can be attributed to Trump supporters. The 91 indictments against Trump are not a “witch hunt:” I have writ

Lindsey Graham has Become a Whiny Little Bitch

Image
  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Before Senator John McCain’s death in 2018, Lindsey Graham was a somewhat rational man. It seems that the Senator from Arizona kept the little man from South Carolina in line, and influenced him to do the right thing most of the time. However, almost immediately after Senator McCain lost his battle with cancer, Graham began to offer his allegiance to the man his closest friend despised. I will always wonder why? Senator McCain was a man with principles and integrity. Trump is a man filled with hatred and cares only for himself. The reality is that Graham is now a man without morals who supports a man he knows is opposed to everything loyal Americans like John McCain stood for. A CORRUPT SUPREME COURT, FIVE MEN AND FOUR WOMEN, COULD BRING AN END TO THE DREAM OF OUR FOUNDING FATHERS No sane human being can deny that just before the 2020 election Moscow Mitch McConnell stacked the Supreme Court with three additional justices who are politically biased a
