Best Political Gifts For People Who Hate Trump
The perfect gift for the anti-Trump person in your life is going to help send a message to the dumpster fire in the White House. It's not going to be some wacky shirt or a Donald Trump blow up doll that you can wack over and over again. The best way to wack Trump is to practice self-care, amplify the voices of the disenfranchised, and take it to the streets to flex our collective might. The must-have political gifts for people who hate Trump aren't tchotchkes; they're practical tools of fighting against an oppressive and repressive regime.

Trump's Sexism and Misogyny
Donald Trump's sexism and misogyny is well documented. His attitude toward women is that they are less than him. He believes he's entitled to use women, comment on women's bodies, demean women from his platform as President of the United States, and abuse women using the legal system or his own physical strength.

10 Things Trump Has Undone
Donald Trump is a brutal reminder of just how much ugliness exists beneath America’s shiny veneer. Behind all the culture, technology, and inspirational tales that the US exports to the rest of the world is a spring of misogyny and White resentment that allowed the least qualified presidential candidate in American history to become the most powerful man in the world. The things Trump has undone will echo in eternity as a testament to humanity's ignorant viciousness toward itself.

Ways Donald Trump Is Making Himself Richer as the President
Donald Trump is a bigot who's been accused of sexual misconduct by 19 women. It's important to keep that information in the public's consciousness to balance out all the privilege afforded to him by America's classist, racist, sexist society. How much privilege? Enough that there are many ways Donald Trump is making himself richer in the White House through a mix of conflicts of interest and nepotism with seemingly no oversight to stop him. He might as well be printing money in the treasury and putting it straight into his pockets, right where he keeps his Big Macs and his tattered copy of The Turner Diaries. JK. Trump doesn't read anything that isn't full of his own name. So maybe he's reading this list of some of the ways he's getting richer in DC!

What We Got Out of Stormy Daniels' 60 Minutes Interview
As always, the cover up is worse than the crime. And when it comes to Donald Trump, the cover up is always bad. One would think that decades of having to cover his tracks would make Trump a master of deceit, but really he's been coasting on wealth and white male privilege.

Are We Living in a Disappearing Government?
We are living in a disappearing government and fading reality. Every day, the media tells people something that is not true. As a strong Democrat and conservative, making sense of that concept is extremely delicate and sometimes hard and difficult to discuss. Government leading to society does not have to be like this. Thousands and possibly millions of opinions outsource, relinquish, and dominate others from the level of intelligence, self-esteem, and sense of wisdom.

Out with the Old...in with the New
Just two months ago there was a Beltway rumor that US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson was about to quit or be fired. The White House denied it. Tillerson denied it. The State Department feigned ignorance on the issue. Still, most people believed that the former Exxon Mobil CEO's days were numbered at Foggy Bottom.

Trump's Deception
It is becoming more apparent today that if a person is poor or becomes so impoverished, you are more than likely doomed to a life of misery and desolation. No longer are their avenues of opportunity awaiting behind every door. Even with college degrees in today's society graduates are no longer guaranteed to land living wage jobs in their field of study. There is just not the availability of employment opportunities that even come close to even providing not only employment but living wages. This is one of the most depressing times still for all who need living wage jobs. When there still remains such a vacuum of employment opportunities it becomes a lesson in futility. We can go to any city in any part of the country and find multitudes that are so impoverished. In this day and age it is unconscionable that so many Americans are left so destitute. With Trump leading the way, he has made it possible to usher in deep cuts in our public services. Services that can make a difference so that our citizens won't go hungry, become homeless, or have their utilities cut off through no fault of their own.

Trump 2020
Write this down on your calendar: Donald Trump did NOT fly to Mar-A-Lago this past weekend. Instead, he ventured to Pennsylvania to hold a campaign rally for his 2020 re-election campaign. One year into his presidency, and Trump is already actively campaigning for another term.

Campaign to Presidency, Political Uncertainty Under Trump
In 2016 Donald Trump entered office as a newbie, with no previous political experience, but well versed in business and reality TV. A year later, as the President of the United States, he is widely labelled as a racist and many are already calling for his impeachment. Trump’s transition into politics has been far from smooth and is constantly populated with controversy.
