Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Donald Trump enjoys making up ‘nicknames’ for his millions of adversaries. Most of them are silly and meaningless, but when you failed most of your classes in high school and college, this is the best you can do. I have many nicknames for Trump and his fascist party, and I don’t have to make them up, they are real and accurate nouns and adjectives. For instance, I have called Trump the orange buffoon, Trumpenstein, and with recent revelations about his idols, “Big Adolf.” His party is incompetent beyond belief, but that’s not all. They are pathological liars, extremists, unfit for office, and fascists. But the term which describes the entire party is “corrupt.” HYPOCRITES ONE AND ALL Right-wing politicians have proven to be the opposite of “the party of family values.” Among their crimes are sexual deviance, numerous felonies, abandoning their promises to voters, choosing instead to support the super-rich, while ignoring the needs and wishes of their constituent

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I believe that there are many more members of our federal government who are criminals than we are aware of. Hiding corruption under “for reasons of national security” is proof that the American government is the most corrupt and therefore the most incompetent in the world. However, three men are well-known for their crimes, and they have never been punished. Two are members of the House of Representatives and one has been allowed to run for the presidency thanks to a biased and criminal Supreme Court. The Constitution is now null and void. I know there are others who have openly committed lesser crimes, including support for Neo-Nazi groups who seek the end or our democratic government, and are in violation of the ethics clause. However, these three have been the most newsworthy. JUST TO NAME A FEW Jim Jordan was an assistant coach for the men’s wrestling team at Ohio State University. The team’s doctor was charged and convicted after several members of the tea

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart I spent 68 years of my life rejecting negative emotions including anger and hatred. However, over the last nine years Trump and his fascist party have changed me in a manner I do not like. I hate him and many of his party with all the anger they have forced me to experience. If you read me regularly, you know that I am an original “baby boomer,” born in 1946. Therefore, it will not surprise you that I have been a strong patriot for most of my life. In elementary school we recited the Pledge of Allegiance every day at the start of classes. At sporting events I sang the Nation Anthem with pride. However, as Trump and his cult continue to destroy our country, bit by bit, I now have a list of names who bring out the rage which must always have been in the darkest area of my psyche. At the top is the worst man in the world, Donald John Trump. In just four years he destroyed most of the progress made by his 44 predecessors. When he committed treason on January

  Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Matt Gaetz, Republican Representative from Florida, (where else), is a member of the fascist leaning Freedom Caucus, and therefore another Trump ass kisser. Don’t worry, there’s plenty of room for everyone on his humongous derriere. For anyone who is not paying attention, the House of Representatives is a joke. Thanks to the TEA Party and the Freedom Caucus it is the reason our legislative branch is completely dysfunctional, and until these traitors to the American people are removed, our government will remain broken. In January of 2023, the late-night comics had a great time creating jokes about then wannabe Speaker of the House, Kevin McCarthy. Throughout our nation’s history it has never taken more than one vote to select a speaker. However, because those who call themselves Republicans are pretenders, and incapable of governing our country, McCarthy was elected, but only after 15 votes. He was forced to make “deals” with the Freedom Caucus to win th
