The four days of the Republican National Convention’s disturbing rubbish from America’s despicable liars is finally over.
Ivanka Trump, the daughter of President Donald J. Trump said her father signed nine pieces of legislation to combat the evils of human trafficking, but she failed to mention that the president also wished one of those human sex traffickers well. Stephen Colbert was quick to point this out on Thursday night’s, “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.”
A lot of my news about President Trump is acquired from Colbert’s TV show. Yes, Colbert is a talk show comedian, but his news is real despite what Trump and his too many followers may say.
The former girlfriend of the deceased Jeffery Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and former / friend of President Trump was arrested in July on charges of transporting a minor to engage in illegal sex acts with rich powerful men, and conspiracy, two counts of perjury and other crimes. Maxwell assisted and contributed to Epstein’s abuse of young women and was even present in some of the abuses.
“I’ve met her numerous times over the years…I wish her well,” Trump said in July, after Maxwell was arrested. https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/trump-wishes-accused-sex-abuser-ghislaine-maxwell-well-at-coronavirus-briefing_uk_5f17f7f1c5b6128e681e900f
Stephen Colbert made it clear that Stephen K. Bannon, Paul Manafort and Corey Lewandowski, all face criminal charges, and each of these men led Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign.
“I’m going to surround myself only with the best and most serious people,” Trump said in August 2016. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/08/30/donald-trump-only-hires-the-best-people-at-generating-unhelpful-headlines/
On Thursday night, when the RNC addressed the current rioting in the U.S., the republicans showed rioting footage from Spain to fuel more false fears and lies.
“Right now in America we’re facing a global pandemic that has killed a 180,000 Americans, heavily armed Rambo wannabees are murdering people in our streets, the strongest hurricane in the history of the Gulf Coast has hit land, and the RNC’s message is; whose up for four more years? Why should we pay attention to what they (RNC speakers) are saying if none of what they’re saying is what’s happening in America right now? Why should we watch their reality show if it doesn’t reflect our reality? Why subject ourselves to their lies that stick to your soul like hot tar,” Colbert said.
This week, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has completely reversed their testing guidelines. People without symptoms may not need to be tested, even if they’ve been in close contact with someone known to have the virus. Forty percent of infections are asymptomatic and 50 percent of the transmissions occur before the symptoms. (CNN health) Ignoring this does not make it go away Colbert said.
“If we did half the testing, we’d have half the cases,” Trump said.

We’ve reached the point where Donald Trump is dictating our health regulations Colbert said.
“We’ve watch him violate every norm of the presidency imaginable. Blackmailing foreign governments to get dirt on his political opponents, witness intimidation, crippling the post office and illegally using the White House for partisan campaigning such as his meeting with former hostages, and the pardoning of John Ponder, the first lady’s convention speech in the rose garden and having a campaign naturalization ceremony for five new U.S. citizens,” Colbert said.
Colbert says people should care about all the laws Trump is breaking. We’re drinking from a fire hose of scandal, but Americans can’t catch ourselves getting two numb to all of this.
Personally, I want Andrew Yang or Tulsi Gabbard as our next president, but the simple reality is clear. In November, Trump will be re-elected, or Joe Biden will be America’s next president, and know this, Donald Trump doesn’t care if you die of Corvid 19 or of racism, as long as he wins. It’s why I’m ridn’ with Biden.
