I'm fired up! Rant on LGBT issues and trump

I'm up late watching hockey and I've been getting fired up today. If i don't get things off my chest i won't sleep, not that i will much anyway.

During the campaign, Donald trump was handed a rainbow flag with "LGBT for Trump" written across the yellow stripe.  He held it up proudly, smiling.

At the Republican national convention, he went out of his way to say in his speech "We will protect our LGBTQ citizens ". I think he added the 'Q' I'm not sure but he got applause for the line.

Now trump is instituting a ban on transgender people serving in the military.  Not because he thinks they're unfit to serve, we all know he's no judge on thar, but because Obama instituted those protections.  All trump and Republicans are interested in is undoing what the "black guy" did and upsetting liberals.

I'm still very ashamed that i did not vote for Barack Obama,  instead continuing to vote libertarian.  A big part of the reason I'm such a liberal now is because Obama made me a better person.  Now Obama is very moderate compared to my current political tendencies.

Barack was married to one woman. I don't care what conservative media or coworkers say. Michelle is a beautiful woman.  They have two beautiful daughters,  Barack has no other children.  They were called monkeys and lies spread about them in tabloids. Conservatives treated him like the anti-christ.

trump has cheated on all his wives and has children with three different women. He paid off a porn star to try to hide an affair.  And his supporters don't freaking care. They treat him like he's the second coming. I don't understand it. I never will. I hope i never do.

Biden my time til 2020, Warren it to get here sooner with a Bern-ing desire to vote for Pete's sake.

So I've been looking for the perfect opportunity to post about the 2020 presidential race, and these ridiculous allegations against Uncle Joe come out. I'm all for the #MeToo movement.  Men should treat Women better and we need to respect personal space and all that. We also know the kind of man Joe Biden is and this just doesn't match up. This is obviously a blatent attempt to discredit the democratic front runner, who hasn't even announced that he's running yet. Compared to our sexual assalter in chief whatever Uncle Joe's missteps, these are nothing. And even though I'm a progressive and Joe Biden is a centrist, i think he's our best shot to beat trump, leading by 10 points in the last polls i looked up. Joe Biden will likely not get my vote next February, however.

I supported Bernie Sanders in the 2016 primary, and still get fire from both the left and right because of it. My "friends" on the right think I'm a Pie in the sky dreamer and those on the left accuse me of being a party crasher. I recently joined the Democratic Socialists of America and Bernie's our guy, but I'm not planning on voting for him.

I love Elizabeth Warren especially the way she takes on the big banks. After we failed to elect our first female president in 2016, it would be great to right that wrong, but she probably won't get my vote.

My vote February 2020 will almost assuredly go to Mayor Pete Buttigieg, the openly gay mayor of South Bend, Indiana.

If you haven't heard of him, the best piece on him was done by Trevor Noah of "The Daily Show".

It is rumored that Joe Biden will not only announce Stacey Abrams as his running mate from the get go, but that he will run as a one-term president.  If that happens, or worst case scenario we get another four years of trump, look out for Mayor Pete in 2024.
