How dare you.

Why?

The New York Times December 7, 1993-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7— The nation’s Surgeon General, Joycelyn Elders, today recommended that the Government study the idea of legalizing drugs, suggesting that doing so might reduce violent crimes. But she stopped short of endorsing such a radical reversal of the nation’s drug policy.

She was vilified by Republicans.

A poll showed that 80% of Evangelical Christians who voted in Alabama voted for Roy Moore. This despite his anti-gay, anti-Muslim beliefs. He has commented that homosexuality should be illegal and that Muslims should not be able to serve in the US Congress. He has defied two US Supreme Court rulings which resulted in his removal from the Alabama Supreme Court bench, and has been accused of sexual misconduct with minors.

A Facebook friend of mine shared a post the other day reporting that President Donald Trump told members of the media they were permitted to stay for his prayer session with Cabinet members because “you need it more than I do.”

My comment was:

“What a hypocrite.”

It would probably come as no surprise that Britons DO NOT LIKE Donald Trump. In fact an official visit to the UK scheduled for later this year was delayed. Ostensibly because there would be massive anti-Trump protests; something The Donald doesn’t like.

And then there’s this:

On Thursday, Speaker of the House of Commons John Bercow doubled down on his view that Trump should not be allowed to address lawmakers in the historic Westminster Hall during an official visit to the United Kingdom. Trump has still not earned the right and does not deserve the honor, Bercow reportedly said at a Queen Mary University London event.

Something most Americans are not aware of, 21st Century Fox pulled the plug on Fox News’ simulcast of the US version in the UK citing low viewership. Really? What a surprise. FYI, 21st Century owns Fox News.

Another reason for pulling the plug, Fox News is the US version and Brits don’t have that much interest in it.

But there’s something else going on over there that I find interesting as we’ll see shortly.

(CNN) Tuesday’s terror attack in New York was the city’s deadliest since 9/11. Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov drove a rented van down a bike path, law enforcement sources have said. The attack killed six victims instantly, while two others died later. New York politicians and officials quickly labeled the incident a terror attack.

Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov is from Uzbekistan, a country NOT on the Travel Ban list.

If you’re wondering why Trump despises Barack Obama so intensely, you need only go back to 2011 and the Washington Correspondents Dinner.

Trump was in attendance.

He also was a proponent of the “birther movement” attacking the legitimacy of Obama’s presidency. Even though Trump has officially acknowledged Obama’s Hawaiian birth certificate, I seriously doubt he believes it to this day.

In a piece published by The Washington Post, Tony Schwartz, ghost writer of Trump’s The Art Of The Deal, says,

Early on, I recognized that Trump’s sense of self-worth is forever at risk. When he feels aggrieved, he reacts impulsively and defensively, constructing a self-justifying story that doesn’t depend on facts and always directs the blame to others.

Donald Trump’s transition team vowed that his nominees would “be very broad and diverse, both with the Cabinet and the administration”, Trump would go on to choose a cabinet with a smaller proportion of women and nonwhites than any president’s first cabinet since Ronald Reagan.
