Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart 86-47. This should become the new mantra for all real Americans who dream about the removal of Trump and his Nazi Party from our federal government. Thousands of signs should be seen at every protest against Trump and his fascist agenda. The Trump administration is desperate to punish former FBI Director, James Comey for investigating Trump’s confirmed collusion with Vladimir Putin in the 2016 election. His ass kissers at the DOJ claim that Comey’s rocks in the sand with the numbers, 86-47 are a threat to kill Trump. Now for something the right-wing hates: facts. MANY USES OF THE TERM, “86 HIM” The use of the numbers 86 originated in the food industry. It was a shortcut to “cancel that order.” I worked in the Northern Nevada casinos for nearly 20 years. A trespassing law, created with the casinos in mind, defines Comey’s intent more accurately [Nevada’s Unlawful Trespass Upon Land law, codified in NRS 207.200, defines trespassing and sets out the penalties and w...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump has used the same, old, tired tactic for nearly 80 years. When he is asked a question he does not want to answer, or when a reporter demands an explanation for his remarks or actions, he attacks the person asking the question. The truth is his greatest enemy. When a situation requires deliberation and compromise, he lacks the ability to discuss the issue intelligently, and reverts to his only choice, “my way or the highway.” No one could be less presidential than Donald John Trump. SOME GOOD, SOME BAD, ONLY ONE WAS VERY GOOD, AND A FEW WERE VERY BAD Over my nearly 80 years, presidents have come and gone. Of the 14 I experienced, the best way to describe most of them is “good riddance.” Only one of our nation’s leaders was so impressive when performing his presidential duties that he can be referred to as “great.” That man was John Fitzgerald Kennedy. On the reverse side, I have had the misfortune to suffer through the three worst presidents of all time. In...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Today was another “TACO Tuesday” for your illegitimate president. His incapable negotiators were on their way to Pakistan when Trump ordered their return. Is Trump opposed to the end of his war, or is he incapable of making a decision and sticking to it? Maybe, just maybe, his lack of experience and unwillingness to take his job seriously was exposed for everyone to see. There must be a better word than “incompetence.” THE SCHOOLYARD BULLY IS EXPOSED The reported demands from Trump are completely one-sided. He is offering nothing to Iran’s leaders, while demanding virtual surrender from his counterparts. This is the act of a schoolyard bully, not from an experienced diplomat, once again proving that Trump is unfit for the office he holds. WHAT IS TRUMP’S IQ? In 2017, Trump had his academic records sealed. There is no way of knowing what his test scores, grades, or his IQ might have been. However, by his own rambling speach, and a failure to master the English la...

Op-ed by TheWiseOldFart Trump’s invasion of Iran is both illegal and immoral. Most Americans oppose another unwinnable war in the Middle East. Trump made a unilateral decision to attack Iran based on lies and misinformation. The Constitution means nothing to Trump: only Congress can declare war. This war has already claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Iranian civilians—including 200 children—and 13 U.S. service members. This reckless and immoral war, which has driven gasoline prices up roughly a third to an average of $3.98 in the United States, cost $11.3 billion in the first six days alone. As of today, Trump has wasted more than 25 billion dollars of taxpayer money in an attempt to annihilate every Muslim in the nation of Iran. ONCE AGAIN, TRUMP HAS NO PLAN TO END THE ATTACKS ON IRAN: HE IS ABOUT TO PUT “BOOTS ON THE GROUND” Trump is completely incompetent. He has no idea what he is doing and no plan for how long his deadly attacks will continue. Make no mistake about the facts. Th...
