Donald Trump Harvesting His Crop

-


“For too long, powerful, wealthy people in this country have operated as if the rules do not apply to them. Donald Trump stands out as among the most egregious example for this misconduct.” Letitia James, New York Attorney General, September 21, 2022.

Trump’s supporters have heard the lie about Democrats’ conspiracy to derail his second coming as U.S. President so often, they think it’s the truth. This metamorphosis is so potent, it has the Republican Party by the shorts. It has also clouded the reason why the Attorney General decided to sue Donald Trump for years of financial fraud. That reason is in-house, Michael Cohen in particular. Trump sued him for what he called falsehoods but later dropped the $500m lawsuit.

Why did Letitia James sue Trump and his sons? Cohen, Trump’s ex-attorney and friend testified before Congress about accounting irregularities in the gilded Trump Tower. When New York went into action with its long investigation of what Cohen said, Trump did his second best thing. Which is? Lawsuit against Cohen for ‘spreading falsehoods.’ What is Trump’s first best thing? Lying (falsehoods).

Trump’s inner circle in the Republican Party knows that it’s not about Letitia James and the Democratic Party. It’s about business. Trump broke business rules which he didn’t have to, because religion and business protect themselves like coconuts and pineapples. You need a knife to crack them open. The April indictment was the knife.

“Manhattan is the home to the country’s most significant business market,” District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. “We cannot allow New York businesses to manipulate their records to cover up criminal conduct.”

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

No Air Miles

I don’t have Air Miles.   I’m considering putting that on a T-Shirt because I cannot go to the drugstore (chemist) or coffee shop without the cashier asking me if I have air miles. We waited for about two minutes the other day, while this guy looked for his Air Miles card in his overweight wallet.   For what?   For a few points. I don’t have air miles because Mathematics is a foreign language.   I was never good in numbers. That is why I squashed the idea of being an investment banker very early in life.   I understand you can invest in cornfields before the soil is turned up or pork bellies even before a baby pig is born. That is how I view air miles, investing in tomorrow or the unknown.   I’m the dumb one.   Some people understand this air miles’ thing so well, I overheard one customer saying: I can even convert my points into cash. Points and air miles are the same thing in Canada and the U.S.   Drugstores or clothing stores even give you a card to collect point
