Popular vote (as I type)...Clinton: 60,467,245/Trump: 60,071,650 - R.I.P. Democracy!

"A disaster for a democracy." Exact words tweeted by 'Not My President-Elect' (in reference to the electoral college) after the 2012 election. it's safe to say, I have found common ground (for the first and no doubt last time) with America's Mussolini Doppelganger. To the majority who voted against tyranny, we can take some solace from knowing that two of America's most incompetent (Nixon, you're not forgotten) modern-day Presidents (arguably of all time) did not win the popular vote. 

It's high time for a proper revolution! If millions can come out to celebrate sporting championships, then we need  a tide of humanity marching on 1600 Pennsylvania demanding an end to bigotry and sleaze. Don't wait for the 'Nine Wives Club' to get in power before it's too late. Gingrich, Giuliani and Trump will bring their sleazy private lives into the highest office, just as bad, they all suffer from conspiracy theory syndrome. Let's not rest until the narcissist and the chauvinist party he represents are placed into the dustbin of history. Heaven forbid, the likes of Donald Jnr and Sarah Palin are handed positions of influence, that will just confirm the death of American exceptionalism.

The GOP (which now stands for: Greed, Oppression, Prejudice) will no doubt try to use its majorities in the House and Senate to help take America back to 1861! For the last 500 days Führer Trump has basked in the glory of spitting on everyone from the disabled to minorities, for that he overwhelmingly won over the xenophobic class and White Christians (Evangelicals being the biggest backer, they sure love their adulterous bigots). Gandhi was right all along about Americans: "I like your Christ. I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ."

However, in the grand scheme of things race-baiting failed to win the most votes. No matter what the Führer tries to spin with his third grade aptitude, he should always be reminded of this fact. To all those thinking he will be impeached, think again, even if he does, do you really want Mike Pence as President? Here is a man who is obsessed with controlling a woman's body parts and one that believes creationism to be the be-all and end-all. We don't need medieval thinkers being anywhere near the Oval Office, if we wanted that, we'd poach our next leader from Putin's Russia - oops, I think we just did!

May we look back on this dark chapter, and remember that we the people didn't sit idly by whilst a fascist freak show stole our democracy, but a time we rose up and fought for it. The world likes to copy American trends due to its ingenuity, something tells me no country wanting to prosper will want to emulate the America of November 8, 2016.

I will leave you with a quote from the subhuman who will control the nuclear codes, one that you should remember every time you wake up in the morning: "When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending the best. They’re not sending you, they’re sending people that have lots of problems and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bring crime. They’re rapists. . . And some, I assume, are good people.” Donald J. Trump, 6/16/2015. 

Note to white nationalists (including neo-nazi sympathizer, Steve Bannon who will counsel the President): there has always been an abundance of Caucasian criminals, but I guess being natural-born allows them to wreak havoc on society. Immigrant bashing is now fashionable in the land that was settled and built by immigrants. To think the ancestors of these people are now celebrating having a racist-in-chief. 

Decision 2016, the rise of fanaticism

Did the nation just decapitate Lady Liberty's head? Maybe I'll wake up and realize that this was all a hoax. For those of you with firearms, please note: take out your frustration in words not bullets. 

Thank you Dallas county for keeping it real (61% for Clinton), and for the many state ballot measures that passed. Positives: Colorado raising the minimum wage to $12 an hour; California's gun control proposition 63/tobacco tax increase. Negatives: California failed to repeal the death penalty and Colorado voted against universal healthcare. Okay marijuana mafia, you guys had a big night, adding California, Massachusetts and Nevada to the legalization list. Oregon also made history, by being the very first LGBTQ governor in U.S. history.

As for the Presidency, people chose (not a majority mind you) to be led by a tyrant that despises the disabled, treats woman as objects, wears bankruptcies like a badge of honor and partakes in race games. That's all well and good if you are from 1861, but that is not my America!

The GOP can now officially quit harping on about being Lincoln's party, they had the audacity to allow a womanizing racist to represent the party that shoves Christianity down our throats - Jesus would never be a Republican, not now, not ever! I get it, you couldn't resist Führer Trump, the man famous for avoiding the AIDS epidemic in NY while his fellow Americans fought in Vietnam. 

To top it off global markets plunge, oh the irony, the finance industry doesn't even trust the party that worships money. At least with the nuclear codes, we finally get to see a Septuagenarian (with the mental capacity of a third grader) reap havoc in countries he can't even pronounce.

One positive, at least this spells the end of political dynasties. Clinton was conservative in many areas and reminded folk of old school Republicans, hopefully this ushers a new party with the vigor shown by Sanders and Warren. 

Much will be said in the coming days and weeks, but once a nation celebrates Russian style mob rule there's no turning back. Peace out America, its been fun knowing you... 

Happy Birthday, Madam President-Elect

Preface: I will put my money where my mouth is and own the prognostication that I made on 7/22/16 (a time when many pundits actually thought a bully would prevail). Let's put Americans out of their misery, fast-forward to the electoral college being awarded to Hillary Rodham Clinton on 11/8/16.

Madam President, now that you are officially No. 45, it's time to rehabilitate America's image after 16 months of greasy campaigning. Here a six areas of policy to tackle, before those primitive Republicans (who couldn't handle a worldly dignified family man, due to his genetic makeup) start getting all sexist on you.

1) Refugees/Undocumented

Compared to Canada our refugee intake from Syria is downright appalling! If our Northern neighbor can take in 25,000 without a blinking, then at a minimum we must take in 250,000 immediately. If the naysayers start having panic attacks just quietly remind them that the worst atrocities created domestically are by homegrown folk that happen to have fair skin.. Even back in the day terrible things happened, does that horrific sniper attack at the University of Austin by Charles Whitman (a devout Catholic blond assassin) ring a bell...Full amnesty must be given to the undocumented, the facts prove they are no more likely to be a burden than citizens. The irony is not lost that they have contributed more to the American experiment than those who despise them. Personally, I'd like to use a magic wand to make white nationalists disappear and have them replaced by those willing to sacrifice for the American dream.

2) Healthcare

Once again, look to the Great White North. Canadians on average live 3 years longer than Americans due to something called healthcare being a right not privilege (refer to my piece from 2/17/16). It's well documented that this saves more money, the fact Americans spend more taxpayers money on healthcare largely to appease Insurance companies in playing their discriminatory games with people's lives proves why a streamlined universal system must be set up. Thank you Colorado for openly discussing this as a measure, maybe this will be the catalyst for the White house.

3) Student Loans/Economy

Many states waste taxpayers money to build football stadiums (I know all about it as a Texas resident), brings tears to my eyes knowing many Republicans are for this, yet cry over government spending. How about the federal government step up and actually respect the intellect of those who have put in the hard work to graduate and forgive their loans. If we have to cut funding for football programs at Colleges than so be it. It's a well-known American right to call athletes who have received phony scholarships to perform heart surgery on you - cough, cough...For their not be a federally mandated minimum wage is shameful for the world's richest country. It should be $15 per hour, those who disagree can start marketing the U.S. as a third world country.

4) Military

Please be honest us with us. George W. Bush was an expert at raising taxes to bloat the world's largest military, yet had the audacity to promote himself as being fiscally conservative. I know how much the Clinton name is admired by Republican military hawks, with that comes a Neocon mentality. If there is insurgence into Syria then you better also help Chadians and Congolese, and for that matter out Israel for their war crimes. If you want to show off America's ego via war games, then put it to good use, not just another experiment in trillions being washed away to destroy senseless lives.

5) Guns

Kudos for wearing an F-grade from the NRA as a badge of honor. Now it's time to take on America's number one domestic terrorism outfit head-on. Planet Fitness has more members than this archaic group catering for insecure Americans hiding behind killing machines, If they don't work with you to close gun show loopholes and increasing restrictions on firearm purchases then do what a real President foes, stand up for the innocence over barbarism.

6) Supreme Court

Nominate a Justice that is not some kind of religious leader wanting to dictate their hypocritical social norms. Embarrassing that people still want to control a woman's personal choices in 2016 or still get their knickers in a twist over marriage equality. This is a forward-looking secular nation, and as such the constitution must be interpreted to meet the needs of modernity not regression.

Mrs Clinton, If you are able to be a mix of FDR and Eisenhower than even your detractors might begrudgingly give you a thumbs up. Talking Dwight, here is one of his famous quotes: "Should any political party attempt to abolish social security, unemployment insurance, and eliminate labor laws and farm programs, you would not hear of that party again in our political history."

Please GOP legislators, stick this quote in your head when dealing with Madam President. The two major parties working together for the vulnerable is what being a beacon of humanity is all about. If for nothing else, it's time to show the world that America is a true superpower, one that is not afraid to flaunt its compassion.

To the fascist freak show that will no doubt keep whingeing and whining post-election, please visit the NY headquarters of that "fair and balanced" news network (yes, they are located in that avant-garde paradise). If that doesn't calm your nerves, go find your conspiracy websites and bask in the glory of sharing false truths on social media. Friendly reminder: Facebook is as progressive as they come, not to mention Apple and Starbucks. Fear not, Uncle Putin will accept all of you bigoted Yanks. Why live in a liberal democracy run by a woman, when you can move to a nation that openly encourages racism and homophobia.

Who knows, in 4 years there might be envy towards Americans from Canadians. So much so, that they might want to move south to celebrate our empathetic treatment of refugees and the defenseless in society. 

'Estoy con ella' chorus is getting louder

I hear that a deranged representative of a major political party stated that Spanish is unAmerican - the above heading is just for you!

You know there's panic across America when three editorials from newspapers (known for their support of Republican Presidential nominees) have endorsed Hillary Clinton. First it was the Dallas Morning News, not since World War II had it backed a Democrat. Then came the Cincinnati Enquirer, last time it went against its tradition was for Woodrow Wilson in 1916. To top it off, the Arizona Republic broke a tradition dating back to 1890. Reminder, these same publications supported an actor (No. 40 for those playing trivia at home) known for ruining the nation with trickle down economics and a hillbilly (No. 43) who achieved the notorious feat of bringing 4000 soldiers back in body bags (not to mention countless loss of innocent lives in nations Americans couldn't find on a map without google).

I am glad that these publications have finally ended their support for Republicans, they understand Lincoln would be ashamed to associate with today's GOP. It's been an open secret that Republicans covertly implemented a mantra of prejudice since Nixon. Now that their chosen prophet is an out-and-out racist, misogynist and sociopath these long-time backers have finally made the divorce official. Even the USA Today (known for its sensationalist right leaning viewpoints) is calling the narcissistic demagogue from 5th Ave Unfit for the Presidency. All that's left now is for his deplorable (too nice a word) supporters is to go back into captivity - don't forget to take the white sheets with you!

Clinton has her flaws, support of the death penalty being a major one (as repeatedly said on this site). Her hawkish views on foreign policy (one look at her infatuation with Israel, even when they yawn over innocent Arab slaughter - refer to the Qana massacre in 1996) and not publicly pushing for things she clearly wants to enact, like universal healthcare. It's a given that all progressive American Presidential nominees will always pass as a conservative in other advanced nations, but its high time we have leadership that puts human lives ahead of the military and gun lobbyists. Clinton, at least understands that America is a melting pot and is an advocate for the underprivileged, including the disabled - something lost on that bigoted scholar from 5th Avenue. (I am not about to go down the road of mainstream media and glorify this hideous creatures name).

The Global Editorial will only endorse a candidate that is a true worldly humanitarian. Seeing as there is not one viable option on November 8, we can only advise U.S. citizens to cast a vote for the candidate that has demonstrated empathy for those less fortunate. Clue: one individual has a long history fighting for children's health, the other has one for abusing woman, body-shaming, compulsive lying (every 195 seconds to be exact), race baiting, tax evasion and so on...Reminder to the American voter: if you support a xenophobic demagogue, you are automatically an accomplice in the first degree murder of Lady Liberty. 

Global soapbox

Time to fire up and irritate those out-of-date earthlings among us. Look away if you suffer from high blood pressure and/or the inability to laugh at yourself and your nationality. Remember you have no choice on what's written on your birth certificate. I myself ended up being born in a country known for despicable actions against its indigenous population. If I had a choice, as a newly born baby I would teleport into a Inuit family in Greenland, but that's my fantasy for another day...

I am biased, any world leader born in 1979 gets my undeserved attention (for obvious reasons). The Prime Minister of Estonia, Taavi Rõivas is making me feel embarrassed to call America home. Here we have a modern thinker leading a technologically savvy and innovative nation (only one to implement full internet voting) - the way it should be. The U.S. has infiltrated the world with its modernity (you can make up your mind on the good and bad of that), yet we have a Presidential election consisting of two candidates with a combined age of 139. No disrespect to old codgers but your time has passed, we need leaders representing the median age of Americans (37 on last count). 

Okay, I will make an exception, if you're an oldie wanting to run a dynamic democracy, could you please decline supporting one who majors in deporting our fellow humans. I will happily forfeit my US residency for one of those "evil" humans wanting to make a better life in the U.S. I know it's hard to fathom, but Caucasian citizens born and bred in the U.S. are more likely to snatch and maul pure bred Americans (don't google 'Michael J. Devlin' if you live in a fantasy world full of segregation sensibilities). I guess the leading racist, and man with sociopathic tendencies will immediately extradite all natural-born Caucasians. So what if they have a birth certificate stating they were born in the U.S. - a criminal is a criminal. 

Hang on a tick, I am just getting word from New York City...According to the brain trust at the eyesore on 725 5th Ave only undocumented humans are "scum". However, if you have documents you're allowed to partake in any activity that terrorizes the community. You heard it here first, all those beautiful Caucasian serial killers are proud Americans, at least according to the KKK's ambassador and man with eyes on being No. 45. Sadly, I'm not referring to the number on the back of a football jersey.

In other news...Hrvatska (commonly referred to as Croatia in the English-speaking world) has just elected Tihomir Orešković, a 70's child as its new Prime Minister. The examples of youngsters leading just keep coming worldwide. Come November 8th, Americans will show the world that we have a modern oldie President - that's if you consider supporting the military-industrial complex, capital punishment and spewing absolute filth as an example of open-mindedness. If things get too backward, us globalists can always seek asylum in Estonia!
