The Real Donald Trump DID Stand Up
Check out this video. Trevor Noah of "The Daily Show" on Comedy Central says it right and really catches The Donald for who and what he really is and in his, The Donald's, own words.
The slime, the sliminess, the smarminess, the con and con job that Donald Trump is, that he truly is. He's the type that give salesmen a bad name.
You've been had, America. Worst of all, the middle- and lower-class Americans that supported this lying, again, smarmy buffoon have been had and will have been had.
Sadly, we all have to pay for their support.

The Shameful State of the Missouri Legislature
Missouri got a really dumbed-down, irresponsible "two-fer" yesterday from our state legislators.
Missouri Lawmakers Loosen Gun Laws,
Back Voter Photo ID
Fortunately, however, the stupidity is getting a lot of national press.
It's not bad enough cities like Chicago and New Orleans and even our own St. Louis are showing the rather obvious pitfalls of having too many guns in our cities and society, no. Our state legislators have to push for yet more. And not only do they support more "open carry" citizens, they also want to allow them to carry guns virtually everywhere with no training required of any kind.
I say once again, Missouri legislators--the Republican and Right Wing ones, anyway--seem to want to follow Kansas down both a fiscal/financial as well as weapons rabbit hole, so to speak, and wreak havoc on us all.
And as though all that isn't enough, they also want to disenfranchise Americans and take their votes away with these ugly, obscene, un-American "voter ID" laws. It's so bad and blatant what they're doing, one Republican representative even admitted it.
GOP congressman: Voter ID law will
help Republicans
We need to call "voter ID laws" what they are. It's nothing more than a return to "Jim Crow" laws of the South in the last 100 years. They disenfranchise the poor and minorities. Honestly, they do even more than that, however, since it's been shown that they also effectively take the vote away from the elderly and physically-challenged, as well. (See links, below).
And they--these Republicans and Right Wingers--are getting away with it.
I tell you, folks, once again, we have got to vote these people out, come November.

Open Carrying Weapons in the US
For anyone, anyone, in the United States to feel they need or want to "open carry" a weapon or weapons anywhere in the nation, one of two things in their body is too small.
Man Walks Into a 7-Eleven Carrying an AK-47
And one of those two things that's too small is his brain.

How America, through our politicians, ACTUALLY treat our Veterans
As just one glaring example, Missouri's own Senator Roy Blunt has been wrapping himself in the American flag and all over the nation's Veterans on his Facebook page this weekend, yet his political party has repeatedly voted down benefits for those same Veterans.
Happy Memorial Day, indeed.

Quote of the day -- on the path to progress
''Remember, you cannot be both young and wise. Young people who pretend to be wise to the ways of the world are mostly just cynics. Cynicism masquerades as wisdom, but it is the farthest thing from it. Because cynics don't learn anything. Because cynicism is a self-imposed blindness, a rejection of the world because we are afraid it will hurt us or disappoint us. Cynics always say no. But saying 'yes' begins things. Saying 'yes' is how things grow. Saying 'yes' leads to knowledge. 'Yes' is for young people. So for as long as you have the strength to, say 'yes'.''

Mizzou comes out looking good on Michael Sam's announcement
After the announcement over the last few days of football player and possible NFL draft prospect Michael Sam from and at the University of Missouri-Columbia, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart covered the story last evening and our own Mizzou came out looking pretty darned good in what has got to be very prominent coverage:
Prominent coverage for young America, at least.
Kudos, Mizzou, You did the right thing.
Now if we can just get the rest of the state to not be homophobic, ugly, hateful and/or otherwise discriminatory.

John Oliver and the staff at "The Daily Show" got the Zimmerman verdict right
They got/get it right again, as they so usually do.
There's so much hypocrisy, ignorance and injustice coming out of this case and verdict, it's nearly mind-numbing.

Jeff City Representative protecting events that never happen
I got an education about my own home state, Missouri, today when watching an edition of "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart", of all places, on Comedy Central.
It seems one Wanda Brown of the Missouri State House of Representatives introduced a bill making it illegal for an employer to fire someone for owning a firearm.
Yes, seriously:
HB 1621 - Missouri House of Representatives
"Specifies that it will be an unlawful employment practice to discriminate against an individual because he or she has a concealed carry endorsement or uses a firearm for a lawful purpose."
Wow.
I'm really glad she introduced that one.
I keep hearing that happening all over the state, haven't you?

Warren Buffett, Part II on our wildly imbalanced and grossly unfair tax policies
Because it's important and not enough people are paying attention and fewer yet believe what he's saying:
The Oracle of Omaha on the Republicans' tax plans
They think the world of his investing ability. They just don't want to discuss political or social policy with him.

What will no doubt be a great, funny fundraiser tonight
Jon Stewart is having his "Night of Too Many Stars" fundraiser to benefit New York Collaborates for Autism and to help contribute to the development of autism schools, services and programs across the country. Tune in to "Night of Too Many Stars" live on Comedy Central and CC.com, tonight at 7 pm Central Time.
One out of every 110 children was diagnosed as autistic in 2010. This year, as Mr. Stewart says, "...just two years later, it's one in every 88."
Please watch, laugh and support, if you can.
