Trump Mocks Hurricane Helene Georgia Victims

1. America is a real country, not reality T.V.

2. America’s upcoming presidential election, is a human exercise, that will determine the future of real human beings. It’s not reality T.V.

3. America is trying to salvage what can be salvaged in Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Tennessee after the devastation brought by the wrath of Hurricane Helene. The hurricane is not reality TV.

Trump Erects A Stage From The Debris

People died this past week, and more are missing. What does Donald Trump do? He goes to Valdosta Georgia, and sets up a temporary stage from bricks. I don’t know where they got the lectern from, but it was there, then he spoke.

Those are tools of the trade he lives for. Everything in America is reality TV for Donald Trump. Valdosta Georgia is a natural disaster area. Who thinks about trappings of a Mar-a-lago press conference amid such devastation and destitution? Donald Trump does. What we see all the time, are politicians being interviewed up close sometimes in the mud, in disasters such as Valdosta. There is no stage nor podium.

Glass Protective Barrier

Donald Trump claims that someone is trying to kill him. It’s only Donald Trump who knows why. That is why he speaks behind thick glass in his rallies. He didn’t have it in Valdosta Georgia. Why? He wasn’t thinking of a possible assassination when he heard about Hurricane Helene. He was thinking of television cameras and headlines. It was show time. That is why he set up that stage, to dance on the graves of victims of Hurricane Helene. So what’s new? He has no respect for the dead. Arlington National Cemetery comes to mind, where he saw a photo-op and raised his thumb.

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
