Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump is a puppet, and has been since 1987. Vladimir Putin has been pulling Trump’s strings for the last 38 years. When the orange buffoon announced that he and Putin would be meeting to discuss peace in Ukraine this Friday in Alaska, I simply said, “really?” Putin and Trump have already discussed what is required for the end of what was an invasion by the Russian army, multiple times. What will happen is a very badly written play. Trump remains deeply indebted to Putin. The European Union, and every other member of NATO is deeply concerned, as they should be. President Zelenskyy is right: Ukraine must refuse any settlement which allows a “land grab” by the Russian dictator. However, now that the American people accepted a fascist dictator as their leader, democracy for all the world’s people is no longer a concern. The White House is beginning to downplay Friday’s meeting. The cover-up has begun. If you believe any of this has any basis in fact or reality, you ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump lied. But, that’s no surprise. If his piehole is open, he is lying. In 2016 he claimed that he had never met Vladimir Putin. The truth is that he has known the current Russian President since 1987. At the invitation of the KGB, a spy agency in which Putin held a high rank, Trump and first wife, Ivana, traveled to Moscow. The events which occurred over those few days were not recorded. However, there can be no doubt that Putin and Trump engaged in conversation at least once. Trump’s second recorded visit to Moscow was in 2013. He traveled to the Russian capital under the guise of conducting the Miss Universe Pageant. However, a dossier compiled by former MI-6 agent, Christopher Steele, and never disproven, claims that it was during this visit that the two men confirmed their plans for the 2016 election. One unreported fact. In August of 2016, billionaire Robert Mercer, a longtime friend of Putin and his oligarchs, moved his money, Steve Bannon, and Kellyann...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFar t   It is now 6:40 PDST. I just turned off the highly advertised “presi dential debate.” Two journalists who I once respected, allowed Trump to refuse answering direct questions and offer his own fallacious agenda. Jake Tapper and Dana Bash failed to use their mute buttons and force the most infamous liar in history to continue lying to the American people and attack a real American president.   Trump refused to answer questions about his position on abortion, immigration reform, and his support of Vladimir Putin ’s illegal invasion of Ukraine. No surprise for this reporter. Watching this farce was an insult to my intelligence.   DEBATE BY DEFINIT ION   A debate is a discussion of a singular subject or subjects in which both sides are expected to offer their fac t- based opinions about the issue.  If a debat e is to happen, opposing sides are required to defend their positions with evidenc e which will influence the outcome.  ...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has attended several debates, however, he has never participated in one. He screams, talks over his opponent, refuses to answer direct questions, and walks around like a confused old man looking for the bathroom. Trump knows nothing about anything. He is incapable of organizing thoughts when asked questions, so he avoids them with attempts to misdirect the query with a personal attack. I can guarantee you that Trump will not make a single preparation for the debate. He is the laziest man alive who has no understanding what the word “work” means. When he was pretending to be your president he refused to read the President’s Daily Brief. He was too lazy to ask questions about issues he knew nothing. WHY DID TRUMP AGREE TO DEBATE AN INTELLIGENT MAN? I can’t comprehend why Trump would agree to debate Mr. Biden. It is impossible for him to influence new voters, and his cult will never change their opinion. As long as the orange buffoon supports a whites only Am...
