HOW HAVE WE COME TO THIS? THE INCOMPETENCE, IRRATIONALITY, CRIMINALITY, AND BETRAYAL THAT HAS LEAD THE U.S. TO EDGE OF THE ABYSS. PT 6. NO MORE EXCUSES FOR THE 2016 DEBACLE. DO YOUR JOBS THIS TIME.

 

WITH THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION BEFORE US, 

 IN NO WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM SHOULD YOU ACCEPT AS

 REASONABLE AN UNVERIFIED OPINION ABOUT THE FINAL

 RESULTS  FROM;

 -  ANY REPUBLICAN PARTY MEMBER.

-  ANY U.S. SENATOR FROM THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY,

   OR EITHER INDEPENDENT U.S. SENATOR.

-  OVER THE AIR NEWS MEDIA.

-  ANYONE APPOINTED BY DONALD TRUMP, 

-  A SECURITY AUDIT OF EVERY STATES RETURNS.

WE HAVE SEEN FROM THE 2016 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION, 

AND SUBSEQUENT BEHAVIOR SINCE THEN, THAT THE 

ABOVE GROUPS CANNOT BE TRUSTED TO PROPERLY 

EVALUATE AND JUDGE ELECTION RESULTS WITH A 

MINIMAL ASSURANCE OF INTELLECTUAL DISCIPLINE AND 

/OR A SYSTEM OF ETHICS EXPECTED OF THE OFFICE OR 

POSITION OCCUPIED BY EACH INDIVIDUAL AND/OR GROUP.

The 2016 ELECTION REVEALED THAT MANY OF THOSE WE

COUNT ON FOR ASSURING OPEN AND HONEST ELECTIONS

DO NOT TAKE THIS RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY, OR WITH 

A SENSE OF DUTY TO PREVENT ELECTION FRAUD. THE 

GROUPS LISTED ABOVE HAVE NOT SHOWN, IN ANY WAY, 

PROCEDURAL CHANGES TO PREVENT A RECURRENCE OF 

THE 2016 TRAVESTY.

BELOW ARE A FEW ARTICLES THAT EXPLAIN THE RESEARCH I DID.

PAY SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE 2016 SENATORIAL AND POTUS RESULTS.

HAD ANY ONE OF THE ABOVE ACTUALLY DONE THEIR JOBS CORRECTLY,

AND INVESTIGATED THE BOGUS RESULTS, THE DEMOCRATS WOULD PROBABLY:

-  HAVE WON THE WHITE HOUSE.

-  BECOME THE MAJORITY IN THE SENATE.

-  NOT BE WORRYING ABOUT 3 JUDICIAL

   FASCISTS APPOINTED BY DONALD TRUMP.

HOW HAVE WE COME TO THIS? THE INCOMPETENCE, IRRATIONALITY, CRIMINALITY, AND BETRAYAL THAT HAS LEAD THE U.S. TO EDGE OF THE ABYSS. PT 5. THE ACA AND FOR PROFIT TRUMPCARE.

THE FOLLOWING ARE MY DEFINITIONS, BUT I THINK THEY ARE REASONABLY CLOSE TO WHAT WOULD BE FOUND IN BOTH CIVIL OR CRIMINAL LAW.

A PUBLIC SERVANT OR ELECTED OFFICIAL HAS A DUTY TO WORK ON BEHALF OF THOSE WHO ARE AFFECTED BY THE ACTIONS AND DECISIONS THAT ARE PART OF THE RESPONSIBILITIES THAT ARE DEFINED BY THE POSITION OCCUPIED BY THE INDIVIDUAL. 

TO USE SUCH A POSITION TO ENRICH YOURSELF, AND/OR A SELECTED GROUP, BY MAKING DECISIONS THAT WOULD NEGATIVELY AFFECT THOSE WHO ARE PART OF THE POPULATION THAT FALLS UNDER THE PUBLIC SERVANT OR ELECTED OFFICIALS DIRECT INFLUENCE, SET BY LAW, IS A CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

SIMPLY PUT: PUTTING SELF-INTEREST ABOVE THE PUBLIC INTEREST.


WITH THAT BEING SAID, HOW IS DONALD TRUMP STILL ALLOWED TO ENDORSE PRIVATE INSURANCE PRODUCTS? EVEN WORSE, HE USES THE OFFICE OF PRESIDENT TO DO SO. 

TO HAVE HIM USE HIS OFFICE TO END THE AFFORDABLE CARE ACT, WHICH BENEFITS MILLIONS OF AMERICANS, WHILE AT THE SAME TIME ENDORSING PRIVATE INSURANCE PRODUCTS, IS AN OBSCENITY.

MY GOD, DOES HE JUST DO WHAT HE WANTS, WITH NO ONE IN LAW ENFORCEMENT, OR THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY, WILLING TO STAND UP AND SAY: "NO MORE,YOU CAN'T DO THIS." 

(SORRY, BUT I DO NOT EXPECT THE REPUBLICAN PARTY TO OBJECT TO ANYTHING HE DOES. THAT WOULD TAKE INTEGRITY AND HONOR, TWO TRAITS THEY NO LONGER POSSESS.)

BELOW IS A TYPICAL EXAMPLE;

-  

HOW HAVE WE COME TO THIS? THE INCOMPETENCE, IRRATIONALITY, CRIMINALITY, AND BETRAYAL THAT HAS LEAD THE U.S. TO EDGE OF THE ABYSS. PT 4. THE ADVERTORIAL: DONALD TRUMPS GET RICH QUICK SCHEMES.

ADVERTORIAL- A SALES AND MARKETING STRATEGY BY WHICH ADVERTISERS TRY TO SELL PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES TO THE CONSUMER BY DISGUISING THE SALES PITCH AS A "NEWS" REPORT, ITEM, OR INVESTIGATION. IT IS A PRACTICE THAT RELIES ON THE GULLIBILITY, AND TRUST, OF SOME CONSUMERS WHO BELIEVE IN THE "INHERENT" TRUSTWORTHINESS OF THE NEWS MEDIA.

NOW, YOU WOULD EXPECT THAT A "SELF- DESCRIBED" GENIUS IN THE WORLD OF BUSINESS WOULD NOT NEED TO ENGAGE IN SUCH  DECEPTIVE PRACTICES. WELL, DONALD TRUMP SEEMS TO NEVER LET THE TRUTH GET IN THE WAY OF WHAT HE WANTS. 

HERE ARE TWO EXAMPLES:

BEFORE THE 2016 ELECTION.

FOX NEWS

Donald Trump reveals simple plan to help every American earn more money.
By Michael Pearson, Faith Karimi, and Joe Sutton, Fox News.

Mr, Trump says the best opportunity available is a new program called Home Cash Code which teaches regular people to take advantage of this massive internet opportunity quickly and easily, and even places them with real online companies that pay them for their time completing simple tasks.

"Sara Taylor is absolutely changing the world with her Home Cash Code program" he said. "Normally, rich people keep the secrets to their wealth to themselves. 

Trump has not hidden his affection for Ms. Taylor. He has recently been praising her on social media for her efforts to teach regular people how to create amazing wealththeir spare time.

We investigated the claims made by Mr. Trump and Ms. Taylor, and what we found is nothing short of amazing.

AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION

President-Elect Trump releases his new Program to help Americans earn wealth.

He’s earned MILLIONS - HE WANTS YOU TO DO THE SAME!

By Michael Pearson, Faith Karimi and Joe Sutton, CNN

CNN) — Speaking before a packed auditorium Donald Trump revealed the secret economic plan behind his "Make America Great Again" initiative. "It's no secret that the Average American is earning less today than they were before the 2008 recession." Stated Mr. Trump. "The reason is simple. There are people who know how to make money very easily, and they've rigged the system for themselves without sharing their secrets with people who really need it."

"I'm going to change all that" Mr. Trump added...

Mr, Trump says the best opportunity available is a new program called Internet Profit which teaches regular people to take advantage of this massive internet opportunity quickly and easily, and even places them with real online companies that pay them for their time completing simple tasks.

"Heather Smith is absolutely changing the world with her Internet Profit program" he said. "Normally, rich people keep the secrets to their wealth to themselves. But Sara, she has found an amazing opportunity, and she is sharing it with everyone. That's incredible."

Trump has not hidden his affection for Ms. Smith. He has recently been praising her on social media for her efforts to teach regular people how to create amazing wealth in their spare time.

We investigated the claims made by Mr. Trump and Ms. Smith, and what we found is nothing short of amazing. This LIMITED TIME PROGRAM is only available through this SPECIAL PROGRAM - Trump is sharing his secrets for a DRASTICALLY REDUCED sign up fee.

Now you may notice that:

Both programs are marketed the same way, but are identified by different names. Further, one uses FOX NEWS AND THE OTHER CNN AS THE "SOURCE" OF THE REPORT. Doing this as a PRIVATE CITIZEN IS BAD ENOUGH, BUT TO USE THE TERM "PRESIDENT-ELECT" IS DESPICABLE.

THE QUESTION IS THIS: WHY WAS THIS INFORMATION NEVER USED BY SENATE DEMOCRATS AGAINST DONALD TRUMP, EITHER BEFORE OR AFTER THE 2016 ELECTION?
