The Real Low Down On Donald Trump

Earlier this week, in the post Donald Trump Will Meet War Criminal Henry Kissinger, I pointed out the following:

Since clinching the Republican nomination, Trump’s true colors have started to emerge. He named a former Goldman Sachs partner to run his fundraising efforts, he named petty authoritarian, gangster wannabe Chris Christie to run his transition team, and he chose “everyone’s a terrorist” Rudy Giuliani as his planned head of the domestic gestapo, the Department of Homeland Security. He’s also been endorsed by Orc King Sheldon Adelson, who said he was prepared to spend $100 millionto get him elected. Now he’s off to kiss the blood-soaked hands of Henry Kissinger.

Apparently, that was just the beginning. Now he’s out publicly pandering to Wall Street in ways even Hillary Clinton wouldn’t dare do.

The Wall Street Journal reports:

Donald Trump, the presumptive Republican presidential nominee, said he intends to release a detailed economic policy platform in two weeks that would dismantle nearly all of the 2010 Dodd-Frank law, he said in an interview Tuesday with Reuters.

“I would say it’ll be close to a dismantling of Dodd-Frank,” Mr. Trump said, according to the Reuters report. “Dodd-Frank is a very negative force, which has developed a very bad name.”

Mr. Trump also said he is “not an enemy” of current Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen, although he reiterated he eventually wants a Republican to lead the U.S. central bank. “I’m not a person that thinks Janet Yellen is doing a bad job,” he added.

While I’m not a Dodd-Frank fan, it’s not because it was too harsh, but because it didn’t really do much of anything. It was the typical neoliberal bait and switch, designed to look tough for public consumption, while merely making tweaks around the edges of a financial system that requires systemic, paradigm level change.

Trump’s support of repealing Dodd-Frank tells you all you need to know. A Trump Presidency will see Wall Street felons who should be in prison, running as wild and free as ever.

He will be the same thing to distressed working class whites that Obama was to the black community. A fake messiah and a shyster.

The Preskness was run today and Exagurator won in a decisive spurt getting way out in front at the finish.  Nearly tied for second were Niquiis and Cherry Wine.  Niquis had defeated Exagurator four times in previous races and I wonder of the horses themselves are aware of such thing and this time Exagurator sees Niquis and goes “Oh no; not this time you’re not!”  It was an eleven horse field but a lot of the horses here didn’t run in the Derby.  Strataveri was definitely a contender in the late part of the race.  Of course the trainers help the jockeys get a leg up on their horses because they are so small.  The TV picture went haywire just before the race began and it worried me but it snapped out of it.  This is the first time the picture has wierded out like this after the picture was on and established.  I hope this isn’t the start of a trend. 

On Rhapsody in Black they had the long awaited May of 1965.  It’s the first year they’ve ever had 1965 since I’ve been listening to the show.  There were quite a few big hits which I think were “black enough” that Bill Gardener didn’t play.  They played “For Once In My Life” by the Rightious Brothers.  They played “Shot Gun” by Jr. Walker and the All Stars.  They played “What Are You Going to Do when I’m Gone” by Brenda Halloway, who is a Mary Wells sound alike.  But then they played a Mary Wells song she made on another label after leaving Motown.  They played “I Wouldn’t Be Dog Gone” and “Iko, Iko” by the Dixie Cups and “Back in my Arms Again”.   “I’ve Been Loving You for Too Long to Stop Now” by Otis Redding was apparently out that early.  They played “Peaches and Cream” – which is probably white girls.  They played “Ooh, Baby, Baby” by Smokey Robinson and the original version of “Mustang Sally”.   Actually I think the original has a little more personality to it. 

The fuel tank of the Space Shuttle right now is making its way through southwestern Los Angeles into the Science Center in Exposition Park in downtown Los Angeles.  They didn't have to remove any trees this time along the route like the original Space Shuttle a few years back.  They are going to have the whole thing in launch position rather than horizontal, which would be a lot easier to conduct tours of.  Right now Bill Clinton is in Southern California making speeches on behalf of his wife in Pamona right now.   A think a lot of us are becomming aware that there are a lot more reasons to vote for Hillary in November than we thought since we (I) discover there are a lot of issues me and her have in common.
