Allen Clifton wrote an article thanking Fox News’ Shep Smith for standing up to Trump. My comment deserves to be published here as well. I do not think that Trump’s support of Russia is any “one thing,” but rather a collection of multiple things. Even his ego is two things. Here is the list so …

The Concept of For Profit Health Insurance Companies
Allen Clifton wrote an article entitled: “The Two Words Republicans Will Never Admit are the Cause of Our Health Care Issues.” The two-words are “for profit.” Here is my take on the thought.

The Right and their “Remove and Replace”
Allen Clifton wrote an article on the Republican Health Care plan. This post is my commentary on that article, blowing off some steam too, as it is quite frustrating how ignorant the right and many people are towards something as basic and necessary as healthcare. Healthcare is a right. Period. There is no such construct …
Why People Vote Republican
I made a comment on a recent post on Forward Progressives. The post discussed John McCain (R-AZ) saying that American leadership was better under President Obama and concluded that Republicans sold out their country by embracing Trump.

Commentary on Trump’s Followers Being Snowflakes
Allen Clifton wrote that Trump’s followers are snowflakes. Here is a quote from the beginning, which I like: I’ve often mocked the belief among many Trump supporters that he’s this “tough-talking, confident, tells-it-like-it-is alpha male” type. That’s the character he plays, but the truth is he’s the complete opposite of that. He’s a weak, insecure, …

I talked with someone last night and the state of the Republican Party came into the discussion. This person mentioned the obvious, namely that the Republican Party got corrupted, possibly always has been, by power, money, and special interests, not to mention bottom feeders. As you probably are aware, power and money corrupt. It takes …
Top 11 on Trump and the Nazis
Dan Rather gave a commentary on Trump’s incompetence, which Allen Clifton wrote about. There is a link to Dan Rather’s commentary on Allen’s post. I wanted to give my own two-cents on the article.
