Trump Concede Before The Judge

-

Donald Trump's love for America dried up a long time ago.

On 1 August 2023, Donald Trump was indicted for trying to defraud the American people. Will he finally concede he lost the 2020 election? I don't think so. He has contempt for anything American and is determined to destroy it.

Vuma. That’s the word for accept in the language called isi-Zulu. Politicians are not good at losing, that’s why there’s protocol about elections.

You lose, you accept it You concede. That is not in Donald Trump’s vocabulary because to him, the U.S. is his teddy bear and he would rather pull its ears, than lose it.

Human beings also accept defeat in different ways. A rich politician who loses an election finds it difficult to accept defeat, after all the dollars he sprayed around like confetti, but he doesn’t give up. He’ll spend more money at the next election.

When Hilary Clinton realized that Barack Obama was going to win the nomination for Democrats’ shot at winning the presidential election, she offered to work with him. Apparently, that’s how it is done in America. Accept and align, align yourself with the winning candidate.

Accept is more emotional in the African American church in America. The pastor throws out a thought. The congregation agrees in many ways for example, repeating that thought out loud or raising hands.

Parents break fights over toys. Boys try to wrestle their video games from sisters, who find them more exciting than combing dolls’ hair. Parents make boys accept that ‘she is your sister,’ meaning, she can play with your toys. Share.

Donald Trump Concede

That ‘toy’ mentality comes into play in politics. Despite their rhetoric, politicians regard citizens as toys. Mine. When they lose, they use vindictive rhetoric on social media to reclaim what they perceive as their toys.

The toy analogy is appropriate because of Donald Trump lost his toy, America. He liked it, played with it and injected it with toxic drugs to ensure that he keeps it.

Raze America to the ground, if someone takes it. Some kids will smash a toy rather than let other kids in the family play with it.

Therefore vuma (accept defeat), concede, is not in Trump’s vocabulary.

Elections And Political Bullies

-

Forget democracy.   It should be called political bullying. We are watching it in the prelude to the Canadian election on the 19 th of October, 2015.   Americans have also started their political bullying for the looming presidential election next year. So many trees wasted on books about democracy.   Some countries have big budgets for invading other countries ‘ to defend democracy’ but it is seldom practised in campaigning for elections.   Calling opponents names and printing flyers attacking each other is behaviour that will not be tolerated in kindergarten, but it is all legal, in campaigning.   It is irritating and such a let-down to the whole notion of democracy.   Grown-up men and women behaving like Grade One kids. It is also misleading because many voters believe it is real hatred.   Don’t let that fool you.   These politicians play golf together, attend the same dinner parties, eat and drink at the same social events, share jokes and cut deals in parliament.   They

Comfort Food As Regret Food

-

Chicken curry. Comfort food is good for the soul, which usually bleeds in winter from icy roads, bad drivers that want to annihilate pedestrians, frozen fingers and toes that take a sabbatical.   What happened to my toes?   I thought I was wearing special socks for boots? We therefore have a right to comfort food which throws doctors’ orders out of the window and has no loyalty to calories.   No calculator on the table, thanks very much.   Piece of bread 5 calories, half a banana 10 calories, sugar-free cheesecake 2,000 calories.   Ah! Ah!  We only live once. Naw!   Comfort food is old school food with its compulsory second helping.   It involves licking fingers and giving a big sigh, about the good life, which is shelter, food, love and debt.   The problem is the zip.   The jeans remind you that comfort food can also be called you will regret food .   Home sweet home is even sweeter in winter after surviving blowing snow and bumper to bumper traffic. What is more welcoming th

Einstein Passengers

Being a passenger is very stressful.   You must listen to the owner of the car, nod and grumble yes to everything he says because you don’t want to piss him off. Two things can happen if you disagree with the driver: he can lose concentration and you all end up in a mash-up accident or stop the car and ask you to get out.   That is the driver’s prerogative.   You must listen to me if you are a passenger in my car.   Let’s flip the script for a minute and sympathise with the driver if she has a passenger who is more intelligent than Albert Einstein. He talks non-stop.   It is all about himself, how right he is, how good he is, how stupid his boss is. Einstein is also a driving instructor.   “Careful.   Look at that guy.   Is he crazy or something? ” says Einstein. Einstein is the unofficial pilot.   He presses imaginary brakes in the passenger seat when the driver stops abruptly for a guy who is texting on his bicycle. A certain Einstein took it to another level.   S
