Crippled Politics

The subject of this blog will be politics. Most of the politics discussed on this blog will be primarily disability politics. However, since I believe that all politics are in some way interrelated, so-called "regular" politics will also be a primary focus. I choose to do it this way because I have read other blogs about disability politics, and I have found them somewhat lacking.

How Much of a Threat is Domestic Terrorism?

How Much of a Threat is Domestic Terrorism?

How much of a threat is domestic terrorism? I think it is a major threat as it has been for a growing number of years.

Trump Killed Thousands by Neglect

Trump Killed Thousands by Neglect

Former president, Donald Trump killed thousands of American citizens by his neglect of the COVID-19 pandemic. I think most of us knew that she was paying more attention to non-issues than he was the pandemic, but I doubt if any of us realize how many people died because of his gross negligence of this crucial issue that affected so many of us. We had no idea of the scale of his neglect. He was…

What the Democrats Hopefully Learned From 2020.

What the Democrats Hopefully Learned From 2020.

Even though Joe Biden may be a nice man and probably will be an adequate president, they should learn that the people want and deserve more than “adequate”. The Democratic Party also needs to quit misrepresenting itself as being liberal and progressive, because they really aren’t.…

Trump Should Act Like a Grown-Up

Trump Should Act Like a Grown-Up  As we all know by now is Joe Biden won the presidential election of 2020 with a good lead over Donald Trump. Even though we had to wait several days before the race was called, mostly because of mail-in voting, eventually they finished the count, and Biden clearly won. However, Donald Trump has refused to concede and instead has filed a number of lawsuits even…

Trump Uses the Term “Herd Mentality”

As part of the “herd” that Donald Trump had the gall to refer to in town hall, sponsored by ABC News, I really resent being referred to as part of the “herd”. Even though he used the term mistakenly instead of “herd immunity” I still resent…

“Necessary Evil” What a Bunch of Bullshit!

Over the weekend, Sen. Tom Cotton said one of the stupidest and insensitive things I have heard in quite a while. He actually said that slavery was a “necessary evil”. He actually had the gall to say that “slavery was a necessary evil that the union was built…

Does "Hitleresque" Describe Donald Trump

Does “Hitleresque” Describe Donald Trump

Documentary filmmaker Ken Burns recently did an article in Vanity Fair where he describes Donald Trump as being “Hitleresque”. I totally agree with Ken Burns in his description of Donald Trump. Both of them show some of the same characteristics. Both are people to be despised not loved.

Like Hitler, Donald Trump used angry rhetoric that appealed to so-called “rednecks” or people who were…
