I had been walking near to the spring that feeds Panther Meadows on Mt. Shasta. The road is usually only open after July until the first snows because it is under snow most of the year on Mt. Shasta. But, when the road is open (July until first snow) it is a really beautiful and remarkable place to visit, especially if there has been enough rain that year. My friend asked the younger couple where they were from and the lady said happily "I'm from Sweden" and the man said, "I'm from San Francisco".
They asked me the title of this article and my friend looked a little uncomfortable about the question. I feel different about this for a variety of reasons mostly that if you don't know what is actually going on you might make bad decisions based upon untruths.
So, I led with: "The funniest story I have heard about all this is the ventriloquist from Las Vegas in his Lear Jet trying to land at Medford airport but couldn't because it was all fogged in. So, he lands at Klamath Falls at night in this emergency and his plane is surrounded by soldiers who act like they are going to shoot anyone on this plane. So, the ventriloquist was only safe when they recognized him as a world famous ventriloquist. Otherwise, he believed they would have shot him there. His theory is that something very secret like a UFO is or was stored at that hangar guarded by so many soldiers."
My theory is that is where the U.S. government kept or keeps one of their TIME SPACE traveling UFOs.
Again they said, "Have you ever seen a UFO and I answered, "I had an experience in 1974 at Bunny Flats and one in 1992 in the city of Mt. Shasta when I heard 3 Chinook military double bladed helicopters blades breaking the sound barrier like they do at higher altitudes so they don't fall out of the sky. It was incredibly loud so I went outside to see what all the cacophony was about. I lived on an acre of land then with fruit trees so I could see straight up quite well and much to my amazement the three unmarked grey Chinooks stopped in midair in formation. Then I looked below this formation and much to my amazement a flying saucer was there. And within 30 seconds the Flying Saucer disappeared and likely went to another time and space than this one.
This was the most amazing experience I had in broad daylight in the summertime and made me realize the U.S. government either has time space ships itself or it has relationships with those that do, one or they other.
It's only now that I realize it was Elohar and Ragna messing with my head. They do these kinds of things to remind me that they are as real as I am.
This is hard for me many times because it is much easier for me to think sometimes it's all a dream when it isn't.
For example, the date they gave me years ago now of September 18th 7028 was the same date my mother passed away in 2008. Elohar did this to show me this is all real. And they gave me the September 18th date about 7 or 8 years or more before my real mother passed away which makes it even more real.
So, by giving me hints all this is really real my mind has to try to find ways to grasp it all more completely and pragmatically live with the truth of the two time lines. The 1st one we all died on and the 2nd one that Elohar and Ragna and I helped to create that you and I live on now.
My 1974 experiences at Bunny Flats on Mt. Shasta:
My son had been born about a month before so I walked up from Bunny Flats in the snow with boots on to pray for my son's life and future which seemed like a good idea at the time. I was all of 26 years old and my wife had been 21 when we got together and now likely was all of 22 or so years of age.
As I walked back down to Bunny Flats through the forest I saw a dish in the snow that at first I thought had been made by snow mobiles. However, as I drew near to inspect it I realized there were no snowmobile tracks and other things were wrong with this whole situation too. Like the size and shape of this print in the snow about 5 to 6 feet deep and the shape of a 25 foot diameter flying saucer. Or what looked like on the upper edge of the print of 1 foot in a regular pattern of what looked like green antifreeze fluid dripped with black algae spots along the upper edge of the saucer print.
This is my memory that I had at the time.
Now my shielded memory from 1974 until the early 2000s when I was old enough to deal with all this:
As my memories unshielded (I finally was allowed to remember them) I walked up to the landing Spacecraft I felt scared but also sort of hypnotized by it's presence. My experience was of being transported inside of the craft but it wasn't an experience of being actually inside the craft it was of going someplace else and two beings that were sort of human like that were there, a man and a woman. They said, "How are you?" or something like this and I said something like: "I'm having some difficulty with this experience because it is unfamiliar to me and culturally completely alien."
They said, "What can we do to make you more comfortable?" I said, "I'm not sure, maybe just talk to me a little so I don't scream or freak out or something."
So, we talked for awhile and then they said, "We have something to show you, is this okay?"
I said, "Yes." but then what they put in my mind made me start screaming because it was of people dying all over the earth in a nuclear holocaust. I kept screaming for awhile because I knew this was real and not fake like in a movie.
They said, "We're sorry. We didn't know it would traumatize you like this."
I said, "Well. It did. Why did you show me this?"
They said this is the future of earth on 9-11-01." Remember this happened to me in 1974 and 2001 is about 26 years or more away from me then.
Then they said, "Will you help us create another time line so this doesn't happen to you and your son and wife?"
I said, "Of course! What can I do?"
They said, "We will show you."
I said, "Can we talk later. I'm probably having a nervous breakdown or something. Also, can I forget this I can't deal with all this until I'm older."
Elohar said to Ragna (elohar is female and Ragna is Male) "You see how practical he is even now?"
Ragna nodded and said, "He's not at all like most people we meet who have psychotic breaks when they find us. HE just adapts to anything."
Elohar smiled and said, "HE was our son then. He's tough like we are, Ragna." She seemed proud of me and Ragna gave her a strange look of adoration and horror. Because obviously he was military and she was an intuitive like me.
So, they let me go home and forget all this until we had created the new 2nd timeline after 9-11 2001.
So, I forgot all this like they promised until 2002 or 2003 and went down to mt. Shasta to get my wife and baby and a friend of ours to take them to the UFO print. They all came to the same conclusion I had. We all realized this could only have been made by a UFO for a variety of reasons.
In the weeks since he was shot in the back, 10-year-old Tavon Tanner has undergone several operations to repair …
78 homicides, more than 400 people shot: This month has been Chicago's most violent in 20 years
Jeremy Gorner, Peter Nickeas and Elvia Malagon
In the weeks since he was shot in the back, 10-year-old Tavon
Tanner has undergone several operations to repair the damage from the
bullet that tore through him and remains lodged between his shoulder and
his chest.
The fifth-grader is still in the hospital and still in
pain, according to his mother, Mellanie Washington. He doesn't talk as
much and cries more often. Sometimes he'll ask whether police have
arrested the person who shot him.
"I tell him they will soon," Washington said. "They will."
Tavon
was among more than 400 people shot in Chicago this month. There have
been at least 78 homicides, making August the most violent month in the
city in almost 20 years, according to data provided by the Chicago
Police Department. And there are two more days to go.
The city hasn't seen a deadlier month since October
1997, when there were 79 homicides. For that whole year, the count was
761, according to department numbers. Chicago has recorded 487 homicides
and more than 2,800 people shot this year, compared with 491 homicides
and 2,988 people shot all of last year, according to data kept by the
Chicago Tribune.
Chicago has a lower homicide rate than many
other U.S. cities that are smaller in population. But this year, the
city has recorded more homicides and shooting victims than New York City
and Los Angeles combined, even though the populations of the two cities
are larger than Chicago's population of about 2.6 million.
New
York, with more than three times the population of Chicago, has recorded
760 shooting victims and logged 222 homicides, according to police
statistics through Aug. 21. In Los Angeles, a city of about 4 million,
729 people have been shot and 176 people have been slain, according to
police data through Aug. 20. The gun violence in Chicago has been
concentrated on the South and West sides, which have lost population
over the years as other areas have grown.
The Harrison District on the West Side, for example, has had
almost 400 people shot this year after logging 350 all of last year.
Englewood saw 330 people shot all of last year and has tallied close to
300 this year.
The Harrison District covers a lot of the Lawndale neighborhood,
where Tavon lives. The boy was playing out front with his twin sister in
the 3900 block of West Polk Street when someone fired as many as nine
shots.
He collapsed as he followed his mother through the front
door. His twin sister, Taniyah, sat next to him, holding his hand,
trying to keep him calm, according to their mother.
“Twin don’t leave me, twin don’t leave me," she kept yelling.
Tavon
was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, where he underwent nearly four hours
of surgery, Washington said. The bullet damaged his pancreas,
intestines, kidney and spleen as it entered his lower back and lodged in
his chest, she said.
In the hours before Tavon was shot, a man in
his early 20s was shot in the head at a basketball court down the block
where Tavon was not allowed to play. And an older man was shot and
killed about four blocks away.
Tavon's sister started school last
week without her brother. Washington, who has spent the last couple of
weeks in the hospital with her son, said she feels restless as her son’s
future remains uncertain.
“Oh, I’m real tired,” she said. “Just waiting on him to get better.”
Police
officials have cited the constant flow of illegal firearms through
dangerous neighborhoods and an intractable gang problem — with some
disputes beginning on social media platforms such as Facebook and
Twitter — as strong contributors to the city's violence.
In recent
months, Police Supt. Eddie Johnson has been pushing lawmakers in the
state capital, Springfield, to pass legislation requiring harsher
sentences for criminals arrested repeatedly for carrying illegal guns.
This
month, Johnson met with several police chiefs from across the country
to discuss the nation's gun violence problem, noting that more than 40
cities experienced jumps in violence last year after years of decreases
in the number of killings.
Cities like Milwaukee and Washington
— both much smaller than Chicago in population — saw homicide increases
that they haven’t experienced in more than two decades.
The surge
in violence comes at a tumultuous time for the Chicago Police
Department. It is still dealing with the aftermath of the court-ordered
release of video showing Police Officer Jason Van Dyke shooting Laquan
McDonald 16 times, killing the teen as he walked away from police with a
knife in his hand.
The public furor from the video’s release
in November led Mayor Rahm Emanuel to fire Garry McCarthy as the police
superintendent. Murder charges were filed against Van Dyke, the head of
the police oversight agency resigned, and the U.S. Department of Justice
began a wide-ranging civil rights investigation into the department.
Earlier
this year, the Chicago Tribune reported a precipitous drop in morale
among the city’s police officers, based on interviews with them. Jeremy Gorner, Peter Nickeas and Elvia Malagon write for the Chicago Tribune.

York Aug. 20, 2016. Some of Donald Trump’s Hispanic advisory …
Some members of Trump's Hispanic advisory board consider pulling support
Republican presidential nominee
Donald Trump speaks during a meeting with his Hispanic Advisory Council
at Trump Tower in the Manhattan borough of New York Aug. 20, 2016.
Some
of Donald Trump’s Hispanic advisory board are reportedly reconsidering
their support Thursday, following the Republican nominee’s hardline
speech on immigration policy in Phoenix, Arizona the previous night.
That’s
according to another Hispanic Trump adviser, who told CBSN contributor
Leslie Sanchez that a few of the 23 board members could yank their
support for the billionaire.
At least two Hispanic Trump surrogates resigned from the
council after Trump’s speech: Politico reported Jacob Monty’s departure,
and the Washington Post said Texas businessman Massey Villareal also
left. Others are also considering leaving the council. And some, who are
not publicly withdrawing their support, told Sanchez that they no
longer want to be associated with the GOP nominee.
Ramiro Pena,
another member of the council, is reconsidering his support, too, and
sent an email to top Trump and RNC officials, according to Politico.
“I
am so sorry but I believe Mr. Trump lost the election tonight,”
wrote Pena, who is a pastor at Waco’s Christ the King Church. “The
‘National Hispanic Advisory Council’ seems to be simply for optics and I
do not have the time or energy for a scam.”
Sanchez pointed to
the flip in tone between Trump’s immigration-focused events on Wednesday
as one reason the Hispanic leaders are dissatisfied with the campaign.
“They
were doing high-fives” with Trump’s visit to Mexico, Sanchez reported
on CBSN, noting that his meeting with Mexican President Enrique Pena
Nieto seemed respectful and presidential. “But the speech in Phoenix was
an ender for them.”
“It sounded angry,” Sanchez said. “It was
this dark approach... [Trump] doesn’t have compassion or a real solution
and they just won’t tolerate it.”
Trump
has gathered his National Hispanic Advisory Council -- which
was created last month and is made up of several faith, civic, and
business leaders -- just once, at a meeting in Manhattan’s Trump Tower about two weeks ago.
After
the meeting, some of the Hispanic leaders present concluded Trump
seemed to be open to “softening” his views on illegal immigration and
the deportation of undocumented immigrants. But after weeks of muddling
his message further, Trump, in a blistering speech Wednesday evening
in Arizona, said every immigrant in the U.S. illegally would be subject
to deportation, and he would create a “deportation task force.” Update:
This report was corrected to reflect the number of Hispanic members of
Trump’s advisory council and the estimate of the number of members who
are considering resigning.
People from the Florida Panhandle down to the Tampa
area braced Thursday for Hurricane Hermine, as it lashes the area with
strong winds and potentially dangerous storm surge.
The National Hurricane Center said the storm's winds
ratched up from 75 mph in the afternoon to 80 mph by evening as the
former tropical storm gained new fury.
Hermine was set to make landfall late Thursday or
early Friday, forecasters said. A hurricane warning was in effect for
Florida's Big Bend from the Suwannee River to Mexico Beach. And on the
East Coast, a tropical storm warning was issued for an area that
extended from Marineland, Florida, northward to the South Santee River
in South Carolina.
Hermine marked part of a one-two punch of severe
storms hitting the U.S. as Tropical Storm Madeline pummeled shorelines
of Hawaii's Big Island. The storm was downgraded from hurricane strength
on Wednesday but still packed winds reaching 50 mph on Thursday as it
passed by the island.
If Hermine continues to maintain hurricane strength
by the time it makes landfall, it would be the first hurricane to slam
Florida since Wilma in 2005. Tens of thousands of people could be in
Hermine's path as it moves northeast.
Forecasters warned Hermine could pack wind gusts
topping 80mph with storm surge reaching 7 feet. The storm is likely to
be felt the strongest across the Big Bend of Florida, which is
relatively less populated than points west and inland.
Florida Gov. Rick Scott warned of the danger of
strong storm surge, high winds, downed trees and power outages, and he
urged people to move to inland shelters if necessary and make sure they
have enough food, water and medicine.
"This is a life-threatening situation," Scott said. "It's going to be a lot of risk. Right now, I want everybody to be safe."

The storm also could unleash more than a foot of rain
across much of Central and North Florida as well as isolated tornadoes
across North Florida into southern Georgia.
Georgia's governor declared a state of emergency for
56 counties through Saturday, in anticipation of high water and strong
winds.
The National Guard on Thursday activated 100 troops to help first responders in Florida. 6,000 additional troops were on alert.

Hermine's maximum sustained winds Thursday evening
were near 80 mph. Some additional strengthening was forecast and the
U.S. National Hurricane Center said Hermine was likely to be a Category 1
hurricane when it makes landfall in Florida on Thursday night or early
Friday.
As of 8 p.m. EDT, Hermine was in the Gulf of Mexico,
centered about 45 miles south of Apalachicola, Florida, and was moving
north-northeast at about 14 mph.
Residents in some low-lying communities in Florida were being asked to evacuate Thursday as the storm approached. The Tallahassee Democrat reported that
emergency management officials in Franklin County have issued a
mandatory evacuation notice for people living on St. George Island, Dog
Island, Alligator Point and Bald Point. Residents in other low-lying
areas prone to flooding were also being asked to evacuate.
Scott ordered state government offices in 51 counties
to close at noon Thursday. The order included the state capital of
Tallahassee, home to tens of thousands of state workers. The city, which
is located roughly 35 miles from the coast, has not had a direct hit by
hurricane in 30 years.
Residents were out in force Thursday morning
preparing for the storm and stores were already running low on bottled
water and flashlights. City crews were struggling to keep up with demand
for sand with sandbags.
People in the Big Bend area were getting ready for
possible storm surge and heavy rain. In Cedar Key, Jordan Keeton said
workers started placing sandbags Wednesday to protect his 83 West
restaurant from possible flooding. He said he was mostly worried about
the new equipment he'd recently purchased for the waterfront restaurant.
"This building right here is pretty safe and pretty
strong so I think it will be all right," Keeton said. "Pretty much the
new equipment is my primary concern."
Flooding is expected across a wide swath of the Big
Bend area, which has a mostly marshy coastline. Florida's Big Bend area
extends from just east of the Apalachicola River in the Panhandle to
roughly the Cedar Key area, which is west of Gainesville. It is made up
of mostly rural communities and smaller cities off the beaten paths of
Interstate 10 and Interstate 75.
In South Carolina, Friday night lights will be
Thursday night lights in many areas. News outlets reported that high
school football games in many areas will be played Thursday night
because Hermine was expected to bring heavy rains to the state Friday.
In Charleston County, emergency officials have a
message for residents: Stay home on Friday. The storm is expected to
flood streets in the Charleston area which can see high tide flooding
even on sunny days. Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson and The Associated Press contributed to this report.
This problem is much more complex than Trump is talking about.
We already have incredible horrific consequences from sending illegal Criminals back to their own countries.
One of the many horrific consequences is from El Salvador where illegals who are criminals are sent back there become the worst criminals there. So, the children who travel alone (and often die or are molested on the way to the U.S. are told by their parents to make it to relatives in the U.S. or die trying. Because they have no future because of the gangs in El Salvadore. And this is just one of the many consequences right now we are facing here in the U.S. from sending illegals who are criminals back to their home countries which do not have the financial resources to fight them once they are trained in the U.S.
So, Trump's simple solutions might sound appealing to some people who don't know enough about the consequences of the real problems of Children now being sent alone in masses from places like El Salvador to travel alone riding freight trains to the U.S. over the border while being molested on their ways with no protection. Their parents send them because they have no future at all or even staying alive without becoming a member of a gang cartel and dying in a blaze of bullets or worse there. So, by the hundreds the children come by themselves to America on Freight trains and some survive and many don't along the way.
This situation grows worse every day. No wall is going to stop people who have no choice like these children but to succeed or to die trying to succeed.
If we go back to the 1930s and into and through World war II we are presently in times as traumatic and as chaotic as these times, just in a completely different way.
However, all the signs are there:
Too many people and not enough resources not just in the U.S. but also worldwide.
What happens historically when this happens??
Inhuman things tend to happen to the poorest among us and the least educated worldwide.
And all we have to do is to look at history.
In the end we have to see all human civilization as a big Jenga game.
We pile up all these neatly stacked wooden blocks (civilizations) and then someone undermines it, people starve, people kill, people die, and then we build another Jenga only to have the same thing fall again.
Civilizations come and civilizations go and times move forward. Most of the people who created the present world paradigm are now dead.
Not many people who survived the horrors of world war II are still alive anymore. People have forgotten the lessons we learned when 100 million people died in World War II.
When people forget the lessons they are doomed to repeat the mistakes. We see it in White supremicist movements whether they are in Europe or the United States.
And just as Hitler in Germany and the KKK here in the U.S raised their heads in the 1930s and 1940s and beyond, so is this white supremicist movement raising it's head again now.
Whenever fear and panic overtakes reason, all the lessons of the past are forgotten and many people die horribly as we are seeing in the genocides of the middle east which are panicking white people in Europe and the U.S.
It is a chain reaction of fear and religious bigotry that cannot end well for the world.
Here in the U.S. we worry about Russian, Ukrainian, and Chinese hackers with Supercomputers. In a recent article I said that the WHOLE INTERNET and everything connected to it is now obsolete. What I mean by this is EVERYTHING secure now isn't.
Literally with Hackers writing programs (thousands of hackers writing programs for Supercomputers together) for Supercomputers there is NOTHING that is not vulnerable anywhere on the internet.
So, what I'm saying is that ANYTHING anyone with a supercomputer wants to know about anyone on earth for any purpose, they will know if they are connected to Russia, China or the U.S.
However, who controls the power of these supercomputers and their programs running now 24 hours a day at millions or billions of times the speed of any hacker or 100 hackers on earth.
This actually is a good question.
However, it is also known that Darpa just gave a prize to the hackers who wrote a program for their supercomputer just recently. So, it isn't just Russian or Chinese hackers on Super computers now either. This is public news.
What is the answer?
The answer is maybe paper ballots on earth for elections so people can have some confidence their ballots mean something.
The answer is more people like myself saying: "Everything on the Internet is now corrupt or will be soon including banking information regarding trillions of dollars worldwide.
There is no doubt that there is a Cyber War going on now and why are governments not talking about how the whole Internet is vulnerable, especially things regarding money and identity worldwide?
Likely because they don't want to see the whole economic system of Earth Collapse.
Though this isn't what I want either it is sort of like being on the Titanic and pretending we just didn't hit an iceberg and are sinking.
If we don't get to the lifeboats no one survives this. (at least economically).
Forecasters
have downgraded Hurricane Madeline to a tropical storm as it veered
past Hawaii's Big Island, but officials reiterated warnings to prepare
for heavy rain and strong winds.
The
National Weather Service downgraded the storm Wednesday as its winds
decreased to 70 mph. Its center wasn't expected to make landfall on any
Hawaiian island.
Still, the Big Island and Maui County were under tropical storm warnings.
Scroll down for video
Calm before the storm: It was quiet at around 6am Wednesday morning on Hilo, as this tweet from a resident shows
Escaped: This man told reporters he
was in and out of Hawaii in eight hours after cancelling his work there -
otherwise he'd 'be stuck there for four days'
'It
doesn't matter if it's a strong tropical storm or a category 1
hurricane,' said Eric Lau, a meteorologist with the weather service. 'If
you have 70 mph winds verses 75 mph winds, it's still a strong storm,
so residents still need to be prepared.'
Meanwhile, Hurricane Lester was about 1,000 miles from Hawaii and expected to drop to a tropical storm by Sunday.
The
developments came as merchants boarded up shop windows along Hilo Bay
and shoppers snatched supplies of food and water from grocery store
shelves after initially being told the island could be hit by its first
hurricane in a quarter-century.
'Hopefully
our roofs stay on, and our houses don't float way or get blown away,'
Big Island resident Mitzi Bettencourt said as she covered walls of glass
windows while the island was under the hurricane warning. 'It's like,
'Oh my God, are we going to get flattened or what?''
Elsewhere,
the National Hurricane Center said Tropical Storm Hermine had formed in
the Gulf of Mexico and was centered about 350 miles from Tampa,
Florida.
It
was expected to pick up speed and approach the northwest Florida coast
Thursday night. A warning was dropped about a tropical depression that
had been moving toward North Carolina.

In
Hawaii, Peggy Beckett, a retiree and beekeeper, stopped at a Hilo
supermarket to pick up onion bagels, cheese, cold cuts and salad to add
to her canned food at home.
She also has a cooler with ice plus a portable burner and batteries to get her through the storm.
Noting the lines of people at the market, Beckett said people were getting prepared but weren't panicking.
'There's
always a lot of disbelief on the island that the storms will really be
as big and bad as forecast,' she said, noting that she and her partner
had taken precautions to protect their beehives.
Bettencourt manages several vacation rental properties, and her own home sits a few blocks from the ocean.
She and her neighbors were stocking their pantries, stowing lawn furniture and preparing for power outages.
Employees
boarded up windows at Hulakai Store, a surf shop in Hilo. 'We'll
probably keep it up till Sunday, waiting for the second one to come
through,' said supervisor Renee Balanga.
CBS2 caught up with one unhappy visitor Wednesday who cut short his Hawaii stay after realizing he was in Madeline's path.

said.
'I was literally on the island for eight hours.'
But he said he felt he did the right thing - 'Otherwise I'd be stuck there for four days.'
Delta
announced that it would offer free cancellations for tickets on delayed
or cancelled flights, and free one-time changes to non-canceled flights
from certain cities in Florida, Georgia, and North and South Carolina.
And
Hawaiian Airlines said customers holding tickets to or from Hilo from
Wednesday to Thursday would be allowed a one-time free reservation

On the Big Island, Hawaii Volcanoes National Park was closed.
The
U.S. Coast Guard asked crews of barges and ships to prepare to leave
Hilo Harbor and told ocean-going vessels to seek sheltered waters until
storm conditions subside.
I found the "Back to Back" article very interesting because it talks about all the hurricanes from 1949 to the present coming near to or hitting Hawaii and how extremely unusual it is for two hurricanes to "Ever" hit in the same week. However, I can't get it to load here so if you want to read it you are going to have to click on it.
Two hurricanes barreling toward Hawaii's Big Island If either storm makes landfall, it would be the first hurricane to hit the Big Island since records ...
HILO, Hawaii – Forecasters on Wednesday downgraded Hurricane Madeline to a tropical storm as it veered past Hawaii's Big Island, but officials reiterated ...
Think about this for a moment. Is Trump Hitler, Mussolini? Who is Trump?
Trump would have to throw away the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, disband the Congress, the Supreme court and the entire judicial system in America. Then he would have to fire all policemen sworn to uphold the law and put thugs in who would do whatever he wanted them to to do ANY of the things he is talking about today.
I suppose if you don't understand our system of government, haven't read the Bill of Rights, don't want the Congress, Supreme Court, Human rights or anything else to exist, voting for Trump might make sense.
But, if you actually understand how our government really works, Presidents don't really have any actual power unless they unleash nuclear weapons because they are pissed off like Trump is all the time.
So, ANY educated person knows this, so why don't Trump's voters know this too?
Think about it in terms of Bush and Obama the two last Presidents. Were they really able to accomplish much at all?
NO. Because Bush was saddled with a two multi trillion dollar wars because he let 9-11 happen on his watch.
Then Obama gets into office and wants to do big and great things too. What was he able to accomplish? Not even Obamacare is sure to last because of Republican States trying to undermine it every which way.
Trump will be no different than Bush or Obama except Trump is going to get so mad and frustrated as president that he is going to nuke someone.
A president doesn't have any of the powers he is actually talking about anymore and hasn't since about Andrew Jackson or Lincoln's time for very good reasons.
Trump either has no clue what it actually means to be president or he thinks you and I are so stupid we don't know what it is to be a president either.
So, unless Trump would disband the Congress, the Supreme court, the entire judiciary and fire every policeman in the U.S. and replace them all with his personal thugs absolutely nothing he is talking about could actually happen while he was preisdent of the United States.
On top of this most Reupublicans wouldn't even help him put ANY of these things through legislation because they would be voted out of office in most states. So, there is no way most Republicans office holders could support any of the things he is talking about either.
So, once again, only if the U.S. was a complete dictatorship with him as Emperor or King could ANYTHING Trump talks about actually happen in real life with him as president.
