Trump can't even get invited to a funeral!

Almost everybody (I said almost everybody) on the planet was at least invited to attend the funeral of former Vice President Dick Cheny. Except two cartoon characters.

Would you like to guess who?

Donald Trump and J.D. Vance are so vilified and disliked by normal people that they couldn't even make the guest list for a funeral. The funeral was a bi-partisan event for Dick Cheney and went off without a hitch thanks to the absence of Trump and his mini-me Vance. No one had to endure the shoulder shoving of Trump to get into the camera.

What do you think is wrong with this picture? What is wrong is that Trump has so turned normal political decorum on its head that the only political figures who want to be in the same room with him are those that curry favor and the dictators of the world who he seems to aspire to be.

I have often thought, why are FOX News and a couple of insignificant low wattage TV stations the only media supporters of Trump?

The reason FOX News has such high cable ratings is because they are the only right-wing media source who support Trump and the incredulous Republicans who mindlessly follow him. They cannot face the daily flood of facts that every news source in the world except (FOX News) presents that Trump and his band of hooligans are running amok.

I know what the fear is. VOTES! Those that vote for Trump and his cronies are living in the past. This whole administration is reminiscent of the days of William "Boss" Tweed and Tammany Hall. This is political patronage in full view. How long will it last? It will last for a while as long people continue to watch only one source of information. Or until Trumps programs begin affecting them personally. And they will.

If you worked at FOX News and were paid exorbitant sums for telling people the earth is flat, what would you do? Half of America would go on TV and say the earth is flat. The problem is, half of America is so uninformed and in a lot of cases uneducated, they actually believe it.

It seems common sense has taken leave.

However, this has happened before. This country has so many cultures and different peoples from many countries that were ruled by thugs, they will not allow their opportunity in this country to be ruined by these thugs. So, I say, embrace all of the immigrants from other countries. They are your real protection from people like Trump and Vance who would like to create a police state.

Most of them have lived in one and do not want to do it again. Get it?

Think about it and be sure to VOTE!
