This is what Democratic Socialism looks like!

In the USA the wealth is funnelled to a few at the top. People work til they drop. The poor are homeless or live in trailer parks.

People hate unions and socialism.

It’s called brainwashing.

Poetry – I’m Donny

I’m Donny

I’m Donald Trump from New York City.

I’m so pretty, but I ain’t no sissy.

I like building walls.

I’ll send them back to their shit-holes,

To join the rats in their holes.

I’m keeping out the hordes

I’m Donny!!  I’m Donny!!

I got so much money it ain’t funny!

I can certainly work a massive crowd.

My old pop would have been so proud –

Rich on government grants

I’m no racist but the US is white.

You know I’m always, always right.

I’ll make us great again!

I’m Donny!!  I’m Donny!!

I got so much money it ain’t funny!

Tax cuts for the rich – economy will boom.

The peasant love me – I make ‘em swoon.

It’s so fucking easy!

With ‘Lock her up’ and ‘Send them back’

I know where their minds are at.

I can play them like a fool

I’m Donny!!  I’m Donny!!

I got so much money it ain’t funny!

My wife’s a classic plastic hussy.

But I’m out there grabbing pussy.

She’s a trophy droid.

I use nepotism as a tool to win.

I get away with murder it’s a sin.

They’re so fucking daft.

I’m Donny!!  I’m Donny!!

I got so much money it ain’t funny!

If someone pisses me I hit them hard;

Treat them like a retard.

They learn real quick.

I tweet to my base and feed them meat.

I’ll have them bowing at my feet.

I love it!

I’m Donny!!  I’m Donny!!

I got so much money it ain’t funny!

Opher – 2.8.2019

Some people are like Teflon – the shit just slides off. But we have to remind ourselves – eventually the Teflon wears thin and the thrall is broken.

Johnson the buffoon and Trump the self-aggrandiser will have their day. Then people will wake up to what they really are. Hopefully, justice will come down on the two of them.

Obnoxious self-servers!!

Why I do not like Donald Trump in a nutshell!

In my view Donald Trump is a liar and a populist who has used the poor and desperate to gain power and promote his own interests. He sides with the fascist groups and promotes fear of terrorism and hatred of Muslims in order to gain support. He thrives on racism and xenophobia.

What I dislike about Donald Trump in a nutshell:

a. Climate denial and closing down all climate monitoring
b. Doing away with environmental protection
c. Doing away with health and safety regs
d. Cutting corporation tax
e. Cutting tax for the rich
f. Taking away funding for contraception
g. Taking away funding for abortion centres
h. Having a racist immigration policy with blanket restrictions
I. Building a ludicrous wall
j. Producing America first isolationist policies
k. Shutting down Science centres
l. Promoting evangelicals
m. Supporting white supremacist groups
n. Retweeting extreme right-wing racist propaganda
o. Goading North Korea
p. Goading Iran
q. Opening up national parks for fracking and mining
r. Allowing fracking and mining on beaches
s. Threatening countries that do not support his policies
t. Misogynistic attitudes towards women
u. Being unstable and emotionally suspect
v. Sacking anyone who disagrees with him
w. Being rude and offensive
x. Trying to put huge tariffs on our aero industry

Plus, of course, he is an arrogant narcissist who has stirred up hatred and division.

 

Donald Trump – A major threat to the environment?

Donald Trump may turn out to be a major threat to the world’s environment, putting hundreds of thousands of species under threat, promoting major climate change and putting many communities at risk of such things as flooding, drought, extreme weather, hurricanes, crop failures and starvation. This could result in mass migrations of people and mass extinctions of plants and animals.

President elect Trump claims that manmade climate change is a hoax. He is threatening to pull out of the Paris agreement and reverse the Green Energy programmes. He says that he will promote economic growth by returning to fossil fuel programmes (coal, oil and gas), reopen plants and to hell with the carbon dioxide output or pollution.

He is solely concerned with the economy and jobs. The environment is not an issue.

This runs contrary to all the evidence accumulated on climate change. In the long term it will not only be an environmental and human disaster but also turn into a major crisis for the economy. I cannot help thinking that this is extremely bad news for the whole world.

In a worrying new development his administration has asked for the names of all the people involved in the Green Energy programmes and who have promoted Green Energy and been involved with climate change talks. The fear is of a witch-hunt.

Anyone who is involved with the environment should be anxious. If he goes through with his stated policy change, the USA, instead of leading in the clean up of carbon dioxide, will be greatly increasing its carbon output. This could be a disaster for the world and impact on the whole initiative to prevent global warming and protect the dwindling rainforests and animals.

If there is a continued increase in global temperature, created by human activity through the burning of fossil fuels (as most scientists now believe), it would have a devastating effect on wildlife and human populations. There would be radical changes in weather patterns leading to droughts, heatwaves, floods, desertification, hurricanes and extreme weather, melting of ice-caps, a rise in sea levels, changes in animal and plant distribution, death of corals and sea-life, changes in conditions for crops and have a colossal impact on wildlife and human populations.

For nature, already under extreme attack, this could be catastrophic.

This also does not bode well for other environmental initiatives. It would appear that the environment and wildlife do not feature in the world of Trump. All that matters is money.

Hopefully the experts will convince Mr Trump that he is wrong and the risks are far too great.

Hopefully he will not go through with his withdrawal from environmental agreements and a return to dirty energy.

The world is at stake.

Why not read up my views on the devastation of our natural world in my book Anthropocene Apocalypse. It tells the story of what is happening to the planet through our burgeoning numbers and destructive practices.
