Gay Palm Springs California, This Week, Aug 16 - Aug 22, 2017

THE LAST WORD by Greg Pettis
Well, this week our Prez has brought us to the
point of WWIII and this time it will be nuclear.
He thinks he had swat North Korea and have their
little dictator back down but either can’t remember
or doesn’t care that China shares a northern
border with North Korea and is still their sponsor
state. Also, any nuclear attack on Pyongyang
would have fall out in; China, South Korea, Japan,
Guam, Russia and several other nations.
Watching him and the North Korean leader on
television this week is akin to a fight of pygmies
arguing about whose dick is bigger! No offense to
pygmies.
Even a conventional attack would spark retaliation,
either against us in Guam or more likely
our allies in South Korea. Lest we forget we have
20,000+ soldiers stationed in South Korea. Any
attack would also create a massive refugee problem
for both China and the US.
He ended the week announcing he won’t rule out
military action in Venezuela! What is wrong with
this man? He had somewhere between 3-5 deferments
from the draft during Vietnam, never served,
never put on a uniform, and somehow thinks we
can deploy our military EVERYWHERE! We are
already too deep in Afghanistan, Syria, Iraq and
god knows where else. And this from a man who
campaigned against President Obama for foreign
policy. A man who won the Nobel Peace Prize!
the election – ooops! Former campaign manager
Paul Manafort’s house is raided in a predawn raid
by the FBI! Plus, TWO grand juries have now
been empaneled. More search warrants to come
and indictments not too far away.
Oh, and I almost forgot, he is now tweeting attacks
on the Senate Majority Leader, Mitch McConnell.
From his own party! Told him to get back to work
– all the while he was on the golf course in New
Jersey on his “working vacation”.
Am I alone or is it time to say – Donald Trump –
YOU ARE FIRED!
Labor Day there will be a Resistance Rally at the
Cathedral City Town Square Park by the Civic
Center. It will be from 5:30pm – 7:00pm and feature
speakers from local and county government,
education, healthcare, environment and more.
There will even be kid’s activities so folks can bring
the family. Come join us as the valley says NO to
Donald Trump and his regressive policies!
Well, that’s it for this week. Keep moving forward
and RESISTING!
What an A-hole! I was raised to respect the President
of the United States. I disagreed vehemently
with George Bush, George W. Bush, Ronald
Reagan and yes even at times the Democrats, but
always respected them and their office. In just 200
days this clown has destroyed that.
