A big “thank you” to the audience member who spoke (or yelled out) truth to wannabe power in calling out Howard Schultz for the phony he is. Just another Trump clone, pretending to be a Democrat, whose real priority is preserving only his own bazillions.
Howard Schultz may have been a lifelong Democrat because of social issues and because Democrats always have a more successful economy (capital and investment markets do better, stable economy, more widespread general prosperity, better employment levels, good for consumer-oriented businesses like his).
But now we see the real Howard Schultz.
First and foremost, he is a billionaire corporatist. He opposes universal public health care (he has his!) even though he grew up in the projects of Brooklyn (socialized housing), got free PUBLIC health care (Medicaid and CHIP [Children’s Health Insurance Program]), welfare and food stamps (socialized food). He got his that allowed him to rise above the poverty of his birth. Someone threw him a ladder when he was in a deep pit of poverty, and now he wants to pull it up after himself. I got mine! Screw you.
He opposes tax reform that gives TAX RELIEF TO THE MIDDLE CLASS and working people and requires billionaires like himself to pay their fair share that they have avoided for 40 years.
He got Trump’s tax giveaways to the few richest elites like himself, and he doesn’t want to give them back.
So he would rather make a move that would keep Trump and Putin in charge of total political chaos in the destruction of the United States as long as he protects his own personal billions.
Billionaire Schultz wants Trump (and his corporate welfare and giveaways to rich people like him) to stay in office, but he doesn’t want to admit it. So he will take steps to ensure that Trump wins while pretending to oppose Trump. “No, I’m not enabling Trump; I’m opposing him.” (wink, wink)
I originally uploaded the dirty word version, then had a change of heart. I didn’t want to push GoComics to see what I could get away with, and they’ve been very good to me…so I reuploaded the toon with the clean’er’ version. The dirty word version was for my online clients and altie papers, who frequently push the limits. The Washington Post also used the clean version this weekend.
On claytoonz.com, Clay asked “After his first two years in office, what was Trump’s biggest accomplishment?” and concluded it was giving himself a tax cut.
My question is, what is the list Sarah Sanders “rattled off” when she was calling Trump “the most productive President in modern history”? Couldn’t find any articles that provided the complete list, they just mentioned tax cuts and trade deals.
Basically, Donnie John has shown America (and the world) why it’s NOT A GOOD IDEA to elect a leader who has NO prior political experience.
Electing a neophyte to even a State position of governor is a bad idea – My own state of New Mexico has elected at least two governors straight from successful business careers, and it has been their experience that it took a year or two to bring them even
close to the level called for to effectively govern – and that’s at the state level!
Donnie’s level of involvement in the affairs of government is pathetic – his “leaked” schedule shows a MASSIVE amount of time taken as “Executive” time which is basically, Donnie John watching television, then talking on the telephone and tweeting on what he’d just been told by his “TV” cabinet!
We’re told that he “governs” differently, to which I’ll reply “Boy, does he, ever!” To my mind, effective governance requires turning off the television, dumping the “Twitter” Phone and reading about present and future world and U.S. situations , evaluating those situations, and discussing them with a trusted band of erudite and similarly “informed” advisors!
Instead, he listens to mental midgets like Coulter, Hannity, Limbaugh and the idiots on Fox & Friends for policy advice and suggestions on how to lead the country while he sits in the Oval Office, completely bereft of sage and ‘counseled’ advice, and, evidently, clueless of what’s really happening in the world around him!
This is a “Hell of a way to run a Railroad”, let alone a country!

Um folks…IT’S A CUP OF DAMN COFFEE, For God’s sake! It is NOT worth $5, or whatever they rip you off for nowadays!

Clay says on his blog that that coffee is a real item on the Starbucks menu—-some things you just can’t make up these days…

What Trump hopefully has proved to all Americans is that no! not everyone can grow up to be president.
