REASONS TO DENY DONALD TRUMP ATTAINING THE PRESIDENCY OF THE UNITED STATES

Main Reason: The Constitution provides that an oath-breaking insurrectionist is ineligible to be president.

Section 3 of the 14th Amendment to the Constitution reads as follows:

“No person shall … hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath … to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.”
https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-14/
The evidence of Donald Trump’s engaging in such insurrection is overwhelming. 

Here is a partial list of more reasons:

“Trump is an authoritarian populist who openly scorns America’s basic values of democracy, the rule of law and racial tolerance.”

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/andres-oppenheimer/article294829994.html#storylink=cpy

“Some of America’s top business and economic leaders are concerned over what a possible Trump-Vance presidency could do to the economy. They cite higher inflation, recession, debt explosion, worker shortages, trade wars, deflating stock prices, slower growth, and lagging business starts as possible outcomes based on what a Trump-Vance Administration promises to do.”

https://www.thirdway.org/report/10-reasons-why-trump-is-bad-for-business

“The (Trump) administration has systematically promoted the interests of corporate executives and shareholders over those of working people and failed to protect workers’ safety, wages, and rights.”

https://www.epi.org/publication/50-reasons/

“Under Trump, the national debt grew much faster than during his successor Joe Biden. Like most populists, Trump cut taxes and spent as if there were no tomorrow, leaving a national debt that will have to be paid by our children and grandchildren for decades.”

https://www.miamiherald.com/news/local/news-columns-blogs/andres-oppenheimer/article293823849.html#storylink=cpy

“What made Trump such an extraordinary failure was the scope and scale of his ignominy. He was corrupt. And ignorant. And overly eager to abuse his powers. And mendacious. And indifferent in the face of crises. And overtly hostile toward the rule of law. And eager to pit Americans against each other. And a genuine threat to the integrity of the republic.”

https://www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddow-show/maddowblog/worst-president-ever-will-even-worse-second-term-rcna178971

“The prospect of Trump unchecked is not merely an offence to abstract notions of democracy. It poses multiple dangers, all of them clear and present.”

https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2024/nov/08/donald-trump-evidence-public-health-crisis-nato

SUMMARY:

“Electing Donald J. Trump once could be dismissed as a fluke, an aberration, a terrible mistake—a consequential one, to be sure, yet still fundamentally an error. But America has now twice elected him as its President. It is a disastrous revelation about what the United States really is, as opposed to the country that so many hoped that it could be.”

https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-lede/donald-trump-wins-a-second-term


____________

 

“Congress has the power to block Trump from taking office, but lawmakers must act now”

“The Electoral Count Act was first enacted in 1887 and later amended and restated in 2022. That statute provides a detailed mechanism for resolving disputes as to the validity of Electoral College votes.   

The act specifies two grounds for objection to an electoral vote: If the electors from a state were not lawfully certified or if the vote of one or more electors was not “regularly given.” A vote for a candidate disqualified by the Constitution is plainly in accordance with the normal use of words “not regularly given.” Disqualification for engaging in insurrection is no different from disqualification based on other constitutional requirements such as age, citizenship from birth and 14 years’ residency in the United States.  

To make an objection under the Count Act requires a petition signed by 20 percent of the members of each House. If the objection is sustained by majority vote in each house, the vote is not counted and the number of votes required to be elected is reduced by the number of disqualified votes. If all votes for Trump were not counted, Kamala Harris would be elected president. “

https://thehill.com/opinion/congress-blog/5055171-constitution-insurrection-trump-disqualification/

FUTURE OUTLOOK:

Any congress person who fails to thwart Donald Trump from becoming the next president should be removed from office. 

It is recommend that all donations should be stopped for any political party and politician who can be found not stopping Donald Trump.

Donald Trump a criminal?
Some Reasons Follow, Why Trump Was A Lousy Choice For Being President

Some Reasons Follow, Why Trump Was A Lousy Choice For Being President

11/21/2024 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

I was in shock that Donald Trump was chosen to be our next president!  As a blogger, I needed to research how this happened, when such a vast list of reasons already exited that should disqualify him.  The list of reasons that Trump should never again make it to be president are beyond significant!

The main reason seems to be that the general voting public are flawed in some ways.  let’s. list some as reported:

President Trump has said he would ‘protect’ and ‘fight for’ workers. Instead, his administration has systematically done the opposite.

______

You really think Donald Trump was a good president? Look at his record.

Miami Herald Logo

  • “Trump left the biggest deficit in U.S. history”.
  • “Trump undermined democratic institutions and the rule of law like no other American president in recent memory”.
  • “Trump weakened America’s standing in the world by picking fights with the closest U.S. allies while at the same time embracing dictators such as Russia’s Vladimir Putin and North Korea’s Kim Jong Un.”
  • “Trump appointed three conservative Supreme Court judges who played a crucial role in overturning Roe v. Wade, a ruling that had made abortions legal in the country for nearly 50 years. As a result, some states banned abortions, and some women reportedly died because they could not get proper medical care to end their pregnancies.”
  • “On crime, hate crimes increased by 28% during Trump’s term and hate-motivated murders, mainly committed by white supremacists, reached their highest number in 28 years, according to FBI statistics.”
  • “On immigration, Trump never completed the border fence nor got Mexico to pay for it, as he had promised in his 2016 campaign.”

It would appear that the majority of the American voting public are not getting truthful, relevant, significant and enough accurate information to formulate a good choices for voting.


 “Right now, many leading platforms are cesspools of rumors, false information, and outright lies. They are widely disseminated and seen by millions of people. If that continues, it will become increasingly difficult to discern fact from fiction—endangering our country’s ability to address major problems. Companies need to get far more serious about content moderation.”

_____

Three particular failures secure Trump’s status as the worst chief executive ever to hold the office.

The Possible Future Meanings For MAGA.

The Possible Future Meanings For MAGA.

11/16/2024 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

I found that Donald Trump having come up with Make America Great Again or MAGA was extremely clever and powerful.   It even morphed into a rather mighty  shield and weapon for Trump because it even created a large group of people who adhere to Trump’s beliefs.  Having casually researched the life of Trump, I immediately understood that he was not going to be the person to make a positive outcome, of making America Great Again, happen.  Instead, we should expect the United States to vastly diminish or maybe  Make America Goofy Again.  I did some research but could not find a prior history of the USA that was goofy.  I did find a few items where people from other countries think that what we do is different from what they experience in their country.

Foreigners Reveal: 17 Weird Things Americans Do
(That We Think Are Normal)

Then I got the idea for the label Make America Garbage Again.  So, again, I searched the Internet to see if the USA was ever viewed as garbage.  I found one example:

Trump says US is ‘like a garbage can for the world’
as he rails against illegal immigration

I then did a search for words that start have “G” with negative meaning.

Negative words that start with G

      • gaudy
      • gawky
      • gloomy
      • gross
      • grotesque
      • glib
      • glum
      • grievous
      • grimy
      • gutless
      • grueling

My primary pick now is still (Make America God Awful.  Reason being, the really bad decisions that Trump is now making and seems to be planning to make.

Gosh I really wish this country will have a better than a God Awful future!

Changing Water Spray Heads, With New Solution, Solved Problems.

Changing Water Spray Heads, With New Solution, Solved Problems.

11/12/2024 Score Card Comments 0 Comment

Beside my car parked in front of our house are three rose bush planters about 6 feet square.  Problem for us was that the spray heads were spraying water well beyond the planter walls.  My car parked next to the planters was getting wet with a lot of water.

I went to Home Depot and found what I hopped was the answer.  I was looking for a 45 degree spray head.  I just loved the top screw adjustment that acts as a water valve.

IMAGE SHOWS MARKING ONE OF THE WATERING SPRAY HEADS WITH A WHITE PAINT MARKER SHOWING THE DIRECTION THE WATER WILL SHOOT OUT OF THE SPRAY HEAD

Looking at the spray head, I was concerned that it would be really difficult to understand which direction the spray was aimed.  I just had to pain the spray head top so that I would easily be able to rotate that spray head so it would best cover the planter box.  I was darn lucky to find that we already had a near perfect white paint marker.  I looked at the marker label and it seemed that it would work.

Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Marker, Medium Point, White Ink

The above image shows the paint marker I used. (Sharpie Oil-Based Paint Marker, Medium Point, White Ink.). The only reason I used this marker is that I already had it.  Do the research and see if there is a better marker.  The reason is that a maker that stands up to the abuse of being outside, exposed to the weather should be considered.

Spray Head Showing White Paint Applied To Show Where The Water Holes Are Located.

The spray head, in the above image, is showing white paint applied, to show where the water holes are located. Bottom of the image is where you would screw the spray head into a supply source pipe. The middle of the image shows some of the holes where the water will shoot out. The top of the image shows part of the (top) adjustment screws used to adjust how much water exits the head.  I just love the large phillips-head screw head provided as it is very easy to stand next to an installed head with a long phillips-head screw driver and make adjustment.

 

Existing Spray Head

 

The image above shows an existing, rather old, spray head that I needed to remove.  The reason for the two different wrenches is that one wrench is used to make sure that the supply water line pipe coming out of the ground does NOT rotate. The reason for this is you definitely do NOT want to remove that pipe and thus allow any particle of debris to fall into the open water line as it will help clog the head filter.

The second wrench is for rotating the existing sprinkler head.  From my experience, I found that I could rotate the sprinkler head by hand almost every time.  The scond wrench was only used when necessary.

 

 

The above image shows a new finished painted sprinkler head that has been installed.  I am so darn happy that I took the time to paint the new sprinkler heads so they show the direction and angle that the water will shoot out.

The time it took me to paint 6 sprinkler heads was about 10 minutes, once all the items were provided in front of me.  Believe me; if I had not painted the spray heads the installation of those heads would have taken me a LOT LONGER!   ALSO, to the degree that the paint lasts, can be seen, can really offer you confirmation that the spray heads are properly aimed by just looking down at them.

“I sure hope Dems are reaching out consistently to ALL the way Trump’s org. is and has been doing.  I’m really afraid that the misinformation and lies are so rampant and widespread (they’re going full force) that even those who you’d think would be smart enough to know who gets fooled, like some of friends who are nurses, teachers, and other professionals.  IT IS REALLY REALLY BAD! ”  
“There are so many lies out there spreading about Harris as a person as well & not just about her proposals; UNBELIEVABLE!”
___
Me:
“I TOTALLY AGREE!  Perpetrators of the lies, in part is are the owners of FOX and Sinclair Broadcasting.  The owners of those stations should be prosecuted.  Under 18 U.S. Code § 373, a person can be imprisoned for soliciting someone to commit a crime of violence.”

Friend:
“And the E Musk with his wealth giving out money.”
“Still Dems don’t have the balls to go publicly correcting the lies.  I’m sure you’ve read a ton of lies & misinformation that the public believes!”
“What can you do; even some of your friends totally believe them?”
___
Me:
“Maybe a good part of this problem is that a LOT of people choose to get their information from really flawed sources. I am beginning to believe that a lot of people are racists and already have a biased view before they hear even from good news sources. Bigotry is allowing yourself to feel superior at the expense of others by lowering others below you – just ego building stupidity.”
