What ...I'd vote for Annamaria in any election.<br /><br />What does the rest of the world think about this group of loony fanatics running for the highest position in the U.S.? <br /><br />Trump is the worst. His vocabulary is very limited to, "I am the greatest. People love me. He's a great person. He (she) is a horrible person, etc." He throws out rhetoric with no logic at all, just to whip up his rightwing followers who also seem not to let the facts get in the way.<br /><br />And the rest of the genuises, each also defying logic, history, facts with their own specialties. Scott Walker, about health care: Canada has single payer health care; 37 million here still don't have any coverage.<br /><br />And many of them are using Planned Parenthood as a bunching bag: Who can criticize them more? Think of worse punishments? That group helps millions of low-income women with cancer screenings, family planning, etc. It's unbelievable.<br /><br />They're all trying to whip up their right-wing base to vote for them. I really worry about people who get behind them and do not think -- perhaps not read newspapers, books, history, nor are they open to new people or ideas.<br /><br />We're all in for months of this insanity. Sometimes, it's just better to open up a work of crime fiction and submerge oneself. I'm thinking of turning of the TV for months -- or avoiding news. Even my favorite news commentary shows are focusing on Trump's inane comments.<br /><br />Well, I read last night that Ivana Trump, Trump's first spouse, told her attorney in 1990 that he kept a book of Hitler's speeches near his bed in a cabinet and frequently read them. Need I say more?<br /><br />This guy, perhaps all of them, are dangerous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-26299177260325851562015-09-04T03:56:30.550-04:002015-09-04T03:56:30.550-04:00I had an American academic in for treatment yeste...I had an American academic in for treatment yesterday.

Everybody else is doing it. Why not me? I would not build a wall though. All the walls around towns and countries that I have seen were built in the Middle Ages. "Medieval" is not an adjective I would like to embrace when it comes to politics. <br /><br />But this post has changed my mind by giving me a better goal. I have already visited all the tiny countries of Europe (the two surrounded by Italy and Andorra). Now I want to visit the bits of Canada that are in US and vice versa. Why my own grandchildren are undisputed, but shared "territory" between the US and our lovely northern neighbor, so It seems a fitting thing to do. Besides, anything that involves seeing puffins and eating lobster recommends itself HIGHLY to me. Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.com
