When Jesus was brought before Pilate, Pilate had compassion on him. This man had done not wrong. This man was bright, resourceful, brave, and amazing on all fronts.
But the leaders of the country which he oversaw, had brought this man on a trumped up charges and asked him to execute him. Pilate saw through their charade and came up with a way to maneuver out from under it…
He open his doors to the crowd outside, “It is your custom that on this day I release a prisoner… Do you want this person who has done no wrong, or do you want me to release (he thought for a second) Barabbas”… (Barabbas was his most hated public criminal in his prisons. )
.
The crowd shouts back…. “Give us Barrabbas”…. “Are you sure”, asks Pilate. “This man has done no wrong. He is innocent. Just days before 50,000 of you line the streets with palms as he rode into this city. Surely you want this man and not for me to release Barrabbas, now do you?”
The priests had stirred up the crowd…. “Give us Barabbas” they shouted…
“Give us Barabbas……. “
So who is the real criminal? The one supported by all these Delawareans… What lack of judgment must one have to choose a criminal over a saint?
These people are simply delusional… In their warped minds they presuppose this to be true and all evidence otherwise be damned.
Hillary has to be guilty of something because she just has to be, and Donald has to be innocent of everything because he just has to be….
When put in plain language such thinking is obviously a product of a sick mind.
There are no politics involved in this stark fact. It is what anyone and everyone can see watching every video of both candidates from beginning of this campaign to its end… When reviewing such, there are a few bad moments in one campaign and a few good moments in the other… The the total preponderance of evidence matches the verdict of the three times we saw them on stage together… One is responsibly capable of handling the duties thrust on her; the other is not.
Any other conclusion is delusional.
it always comes back to this: Hillary has to be guilty of something because she just has to be, and Donald has to be innocent of everything because he just has to be….
Now as a society it is obvious that we do have a segment of our population that is insane. But that does not mean we have to follow them. What usually happens is that as long as the insane are no danger to themselves or anyone else, we tolerate them. When they become a danger, we lock them up.
The repeated chants based on nothing to “lock up” the leading candidate by followers of the minority party, show just how dangerously off-bent all these people are.
It is as if they have been released upon us by a bad television mini-drama and are ranging through our towns looking for brains to eat…
You laugh, but the similarities are scary.
There is no semblance of being a human being in saying: Hillary has to be guilty of something because she just has to be, and Donald has to be innocent of everything because he just has to be….
That is just being … a “being”….. one in whom these crackpots still vociferously support…..

None of these should get into office. None.
Lip service is one thing. Actions are something else. All of the above at this late date are still supportive of Donald Trump and what he stands for….
Sadly these are all the Republicans running for state office, but two… I must isolate and mention both of those two and encourage you to vote them in over their Democrat opponents (no loss there in both seats) to show the world that Delaware is not a satellite of Donald Trump….
These two very special people, the only two Delawarean Republicans who have repudiated history’s worst candidate, Donald Trump, are:
A. She has reality TV experience.
B. She tweets.
C. She is opinionated.
D She is recognized
Presto. She has all the exact same qualifications of Donald Trump. And she is nicer. And she uses slightly bigger words, the best words. And she is great. So great… and she can win. and keep on winning till you tell her to stop winning all the time, and she can win again, and again.
But bottom line, is that even at four years out from the next election, she is already equally as qualified for office as is Donald Trump. Since your party always chooses the “best” candidates, think how great she will be after 4 years of prepping… So Republicans, you will need a new candidate soon. My I present Honey Boo Boo‘s mom…. . Your next candidate to perfectly represent the high ideals of your party…

When the votes come pouring in on Tuesday evening many Americans will be awaiting breathlessly whether their candidate will win… Both sides see their candidate as the only possible avenue down which this nation can continue.
But there are bigger data dumps which can be mined from all this data. Elections are our only method to determine how America thinks or feels every 4 years. Polls can be skewed. But the election is real…
The Republican candidate has done a lot to strip down his candidacy to one of racism. He has no economic plan. He has no insurance plan. He has no plan to fight Isis. He has no military strategy, he has nothing else to say, except to rail against others.. in fact all others who are not exactly like him.. be it gender, racial, or religious… If you are not like him, YOU are the problem… That is the classic definition of racism…
The one single argument of his entire campaign is…. we are going to get rid of “them” and you (through me) are going to be in charge… We have no idea what he will do when in charge. He could be Santa Clause. He could be Hitler. He could be Putin’s butt boy. We just do not know…
If you vote for Trump, you are racist…
(I’m voting for Trump and I ain’t no racist… Get out of my fuckin’ way you Muslim piece of shit… Speak English you motherfucker… No, I’m voting for Trump and I ain’t no racist Trump’s a good man. Like Rick Jensen I’m voting my opinions, I ain’t votin’ no racist… Woo Hoot! You tell ’em Ted Nugent! You tell ’em.. Fuck those blacks. YEAH… Burn them on crosses. Nope, we definitely ain’t no racists. We used to watch Cosby back in the day. And Sanford and Son, we ain’t no racists.)
As I said.. the only reason anyone is voting for Trump is because they approve of his racism. They may be excited by his racism. They may love the idea of bashing peoples’ heads in with baseball bats, as long as they don’t look like them or Colin Bonini. or Charlie Copeland. or Ruth King Briggs.. (Still don’t know how La Mar Gunn gets around it.. but he wholeheartedly support a racist doctrine for some reason. I guess it is the Stockholm Syndrome, there were also Jews who threw their lot with Hitler. (they all died).)
Anyways. Enough of convincing you this election is solely about Racism… You can either believe it or not. But we are excited to finally be able, in a huge part thanks to Donald Trump, to clearly trace the amount of racism which has been present but hidden except for brief moment in our nations history.
For example… In 1968 there were 9.9 million racists who voted for George Wallace. In 1948 there were 1.1 million who voted for Strom Thumond and the Dixiecrats. Donald Trump needs to compare himself to Barry Goldwater, who had 27 million votes for him mixed including all racists and those who would rather throw their lot to a racist,than vote for a Democrat.
We will know how many racists there are and where they all live after this election is over. We then have to decide how we want to deal with them… As a nation, we reabsorbed the Dixiecrats, we reabsorbed the Republicans, we reabsorbed the American party. Embolden by the loose tongue of Donald Trump, we can flush them out into the open, then open our Remingtons up on them and bring them down like ducks around Bombay Hook.
That is what Hillary Clinton is. That is what the Democrats offer. The same boundless confidence that came out of Independence Hall in 1788. The same boundless confidence as we pushed our nation Westward over fresh laid iron rails in the 19th Century. The same boundless confidence as we fought two major wars across two different oceans at the same time. That same boundless confidence as we elected our first WWII fighter into the Presidency. That same boundless confidence with which we stared down the Soviet Union. That same boundless confidence with which we landed on the moon and watched with wonder as our vehicles drove around on Mars. That same boundless confidence as we faced down the Y2K problem. That same boundless confidence with which we said we’d avenge 9/11….That same boundless confidence with which we once faced down our deficit and had our budget completely under control…..
America has always vacillated between moments of boundless confidence and timid fear. Ironically it has always been the Democrats who gave us confidence and Republicans who gave us fear.
The fear is a anathema. We have nothing to fear but fear itself and when we allow ourselves to fear we loose all of our potential. Fear bites into America’s productivity…
You can choose to believe we have to fear. Fear from Muslims. Fear from Mexicans. Fear from Afro Americans. Fear from powerful women. Fear from orange haired sexual predators riding buses in 2005… But though that is only one option, it is not the only option. We can also make assumptions that all people are like us, some bad and some good, and work to elevate the good ones, and find and punish the bad ones. Just no profiling. Just don’t use race or religion as weapons against all one group’s right to freedom, which will become by accretion, weapons against our rights to freedom…
We always will have enemies for we are the most successful and powerful nation on earth. But we have two ways of combating those.. One the cheerful approach, exuding from our pores like Britain had when they were being bombed into oblivion but prevailed. Or the sunken, desperate gloom such as that hung over Berlin as its enemies surrounded it from all sides. One attitude wins against great odds; the other loses against the smallest of threats.
So which one describes you? Gloom, death, destruction, fear, hate, and loathing? or the boundless confidence in America’s progress?
You choose our future… it is serious. There are no do-overs…

This is amazing. Two videos released on the last weekend before the big vote…. Both summing up their campaign in under two minutes.. As is usual the tone is what one perceives and in this case there is a huge difference.
One uplifting and inspiring. The other dark and foreboding One full of color, bright and active. The other shot like a crime scene drama, dark, dramatic, and dangerous.
I actually like both of them. They are both pretty good summations and the darker one is polished rather well almost enough to be convincing… Only it is too little too late. It fails to address that the solution it proposes to all the problems it illustrates, is more of a problem than the problems are. To be fair, both videos are rather vague on policy…
One says we need to celebrate life. The other implies we can never celebrate life because there are always big scary problems out there which will attack and eat us… Be afraid, be very afraid…
So I guess it depends on what type of nation you want for your children really… One that is great to live in, or one that sort of sucks to live in but if you just elect Donald Trump, even though it sucks, you will be safe. Why? Because he’s been on the Apprentice… (as the closing pose strikes so similar) lol.
And now… the greatest contrast of two videos you will ever see… (unless you watch Comcast’s Channel 29 and porn back to back)..
What did you think? Isn’t the difference as stark as that between Kennedy and Nixon? Between Johnson and Goldwater? Between Nixon and McGovern? Between Reagan and Mondale? Got any more? It has been a while we’ve had a more comparative bright and dark contrast…
Now it is up to you… What spirit do you want to lead America? The good one? Or Bad?
“Damn! Here Comes Trump Into The Dressing Room Again”
There really is no greater issue in this campaign. Men just don’t get it.
But by voting Democratic from top to bottom (exception in 8th and 1st Delaware Senatorial) you elect and send Trump and his supporters packing; for good. The bigger the margin of the loss, the longer they stay away and under cover..
There is no greater issue in this campaign… If you are a woman, and vote for Trump, heaven help you. One day you will awake and realize just how ugly your soul is.
There is no greater issue in this campaign. Again… men just don’t get it… But you can put that ogre and the ogre of every man who’s violated you or made you feel uncomfortable, in its grave for good.
There is no greater issue in this campaign… and only by voting up or down Democratic can you make the point that we are done with this issue; we are finished; this issue is forever behind us…
To those men and women who support Trump, you don’t matter. To them, you are baby makers, arm candy, something to oogle, someone to cook dinner; you are Adam’s rib and exist only for the pleasure of men…
This goes straight up the ladder to Billy Graham and Jerry Falwell, Jr. Those who fervently support Donald Trump at the expense of all those around them having two X chromosomes. You are inferior. You are lesser than…
Some of these men of God will have the guts to actually say this, others will simply prove it to you. They are proving it to you now. Listen to them….
Men on the Christian Right will loudly proclaim that all men act like Trump, all men talk this way, all men think this way. But no, not even close to being true; not even a majority of men do—but they all do.
Consider this:
The sole reason they aren’t defend you is because in their eyes, you are less an object to be defended than a misogynist bigot named Donald Trump… They are telling you your status… They are telling you where you stand…. To them you don’t merit defending; not your intelligence or your gifts or your worth….
You may think the problem is with God. No, the problem is with them. God did not make you to be their slave. God made you to be a person who feels, thinks, and has the capacity to act…
Sadly anyone who still supports Trump, either man or women, holds on to this ancient philosophy that was predominantly formed by a woman’s lack of birth control. Your ancestors couldn’t hunt; they had to stay home.
This is not 6000 BC. Before us all stands a woman like you who is about to shatter the glass ceiling. A woman who has been victimized like you by countless slurs, millions of pejoratives, and bad-mouthed to oblivion and back.. She is still standing, she is still fighting, and she represents all of you as smart, personable, individuals who should get the opportunity just like men, to run your life the way you see fit.
In the voting booth, your secrets are safe… It is time to stick it to all men who have ever put you down. It is time you too become individuals able to stand up for something unique instead of always being the mister’s misses….
In Delaware, these people listed below need to pay a price for supporting Trump. As you vote for Hillary, please vote for the opposite of these below who have (like those silent men and women), cheered Trump on as he belittles women over and over and over…
The following, however, are not acting like real Christian men and women……….

These two very special people, the only two Delawarean Republicans who have repudiated history’s worst candidate, Donald Trump, are:
All rationality dissipates the closer one gets to election. Really. It’s no fluke. It dissipates in every close contest be it a boxing match, World’s Series, or high school football game. Things get said in the heat of the moment that on reflection weeks later, probably should never have been said otherwise. It comes from being in the heat of the moment, we weaponize our speech. Me and you, we all do it, unless of course we’ve spent considerable time on Dagobah with Yoda learning how to control our anger by using the “Force”..
That being few among us, it is understandable that those on both sides skimming (in a panic), would quickly pass over this post in search of a more reassuring tidbit promoting proof that their side will win over the other…. That is understandable. however, this will still stay up for the ages to remind ourselves of what what could have been; how we should have behaved; which choice we should have taken…
That said, sometimes the best advice is old advice (and I believe it originally came from ancient battles where hand to hand fighting was the norm)… When confusion is rampant, it is best to step back, look around horizon to horizon, and take a deep breath.
You are voting for someone to run our country, not for your favorite cartoon character. Like Brexit, this is serious. The traits one would need for president should at least rise to the level required for running ones employment, tons of little stuff needing ones endorsement day after day after day, and hopefully some additional time to make your mark on some big changes you want to make into policy…
Too often I hear a pronouncement begin with: “Oh, but I don’t like…..” as if liking someone was the best criteria for running our country. There really is no relation between “like” and “ability”.. Some people you like may be douche bags, but you still like them anyway. Having a likable douche bag for president was actually tried during the 1920’s and it gave us hands-off government which plunged the globe into a Great Depression. Likewise, the winner of “who would you rather have a beer with” contest of 2000 gave us 9/11, two Middle East Wars, $4 trillion in “new” debt, and our version of The Great (2nd Republican Caused) Depression…
We really cannot be distracted by a popularity contest, or past loyalties to one team versus another… Your choice first needs to be solely based on qualifications.Would you want a plumber running your hospital? Would you want a ghost writer fixing your sewer and your stopped up toilet? Would you want the new-hire on the bottom rung of your workplace whatever that position is, to become the person in charge and running your organization as CEO?
Probably not.. Why? Because if they screw up and ruin your company in a few short months, you are out of a job and all your financial plans for the future are now up in the air…
It’s exactly the same with running the country.
All of us need you to seriously decide if you truly feel safe and comfortable with your presidential prospect running either your business or office where you work, before you vote for them.
Can they flat out do the job that is expected of them? You are, after all their human resource officer. You are on task for the quality of hires you provide to the organization. Will the hire you vote in, be able to do the job? The whole job?
A lot of people are ignoring this. “He tells things like they are.” “She’s a crook”. “Both are shitty so I’m voting 3rd Party to protest.” So I’m just mentioning it here so you also put this into your calculations before making the choice of the century so far.
It boils down to a simple qualifying question that all candidates should pass before you go onward in analyzing them to make your decision.
Would you want your chosen candidate running your job? If absolutely not, why are you doing this to yourself and sticking it to everyone else in the process?
Once you’ve determined you are comfortable in their ability to actually run the office he/she is seeking, which is to keep the government running while they try to enact their agenda and selling points…. the next step should be whether they will go in the direction YOU want them to go?
Too often we reverse these priorities (especially towards those running for Congress). We get a confirmation on their quoted destination and vote them in, realizing much too late that they’ve never driven a car, looked at a map, or made a reservation.
“Load up the truck you’all;
we’re moving to … Beverly”
This is one of the reason our Congress is filled with Tea Party idealogues who strut and fret over the direction our nation is taking, without doing anything solid to get us moving. This is ninety-five percent of the reason middle class white America is frustrated and hurting today: republicans in Congress.
To fix that, you need to make sure that whoever you put in Congress is at the very least, capable of doing what is needed, and only then, determine if they are going to go your way… Because reversing those priorities, just doesn’t work….
Only then, if you are sure that both candidates are equally qualified, and both are going to go the way you want to go, do you then begin to look at character of the person. This is the part where liar accusations arise, infidelity issues arise, loyalty issues arise, RINO or DINO issues arise, or if you are Darrel Issa, actually arrest records for theft apply.
And here is the crowning point. You may not like your boss at work (you may even hate him), but you don’t try to remove him because he is paying you to live a good living as it is. You put your own self interest far, far above your fuzzy feelings of ” like” and “dislike”..
There is precedent for what I’ve just said. Harry Truman was washed up in 1948. Going into election day the polls were against him, the press was against him, and it looked like a rout was going to wipe him out, so much that a famous headline was preprinted and sent out which turned out wrong.
A lot of confused political people wondered what happened… What they found was that most people who had come home from Europe and Japan while he was president, who had gone to school or found new jobs while he was president, simply could not find it in themselves to remove someone who had shown themselves to be so skillful, so competent, and such a great American, no matter how much “character assassination” had been printed about him. Although a lot of voters did vote for Dewey; more went for Truman because they felt they just couldn’t let a good man go.
Many people have been fed a lot of lies about Hillary. You can see it in the comments of some on this blog below articles about her. There is an entire industry of highly paid muckrakers funded exclusively by billionaires who drag her name through the mud. They’ve poured over ever word she’s ever said to try and find something they can hang her with, and across 25 years of national public life, to date they found nothing…
If you are making less than $250,000 a year, you should probably ask yourself “why” on earth these billionaires are spending so much of their money to tarnish just her above all other people?
They are afraid of her because she WILL fight for you….
In the real world you live in, the world of too little income coming in and too many bills to pay going out, that should be all the endorsement you could ever need…. One should always vote opposite of how billionaires tell you to vote….
