We the People: Introducing New Graphics and Branding!

Okay, I admit, I'm pitiful. I am a designer, but I am not a developer. I have no idea how to get the url for my blogger Twitter card without first posting my Twitter card image, so that I can then use that url to create the Twitter card. I've changed the name of my blog and updated the branding. Here is the big reveal. Now I have to implement these files. Hopefully it will all be up by the time people start viewing it.

We the People

So here is  a post to show off my new Header, Logo, and Favicon for my newly rebranded blog.

I love the new styles. Unfortunately, all the previous links I created, broke, the minute I changed the site name. Sigh . . . better now than a year down the road after I had grown.

Logo

This should show up in any links to my general blog page on Twitter or Facebook. Hopefully I will have this working soon.

 

Header 

You can also see this ABOVE this post in all its glory.

Favicon

This is the little tiny icon that shows up next to the url or on the browser tab. It almost the same as the Logo, only it will be tiny, so I had to make it high contrast.

Great American Betrayer

My aim with this post is to take individual cases of Trump's betrayal of America and break them down into clear points that readers can use in dialog with fellow citizens to express how Trump is unfit for office. I hope these conversations can be done in a non-partisan way. Even though people are dug in to their side, it may be helpful to remind people, as the crimes become more difficult to deny, that they do not need to switch parties to admit this President is unfit for office. They don't have to (read in Darth Vader voice) "come to the Blue side," if you will.

Case 1: Trump's Aides Proffer Russia Sanction Relief and a 50 Million Dollar Penthouse Bribe to Open Path to Financing for the Trump Tower Moscow. 

Summary

• It was a three decade dream of Trump's to build a Trump Tower Moscow.
• Michael Cohen and Felix Sater worked on the deal until summer of 2016, with plans for financing by Russian banks subject to US sanctions. 
• Financing with those banks would have been impossible while sanctions were in place.
• As part of the deal, the plan was to give Putin a 50 million dollar penthouse.
• Cohen kept Trump and family apprised of his efforts toward the deal.
• Trump repeatedly lied to the US public about business dealings with Russia, both during the campaign and after, keeping his Trump Tower Moscow deal negotiations secret.
• Before inauguration, Trump refuses to divest his businesses and Trump's incoming National Security Advisor, Michael Flynn, has conversations with a Russian diplomat about Sanctions. 
• Days after Trump's inauguration, Trump's administration makes moves to drop US sanctions against Russia, despite the fact that the most recent sanctions were levied in response to Russias interference into our election.
• Cohen, Sater, and a Ukrainian lawyer Andrii Artemenko draw up a Russia-Ukraine peace plan that includes dropping US sanctions on Russia, and deliver it to Flynn.
• Trump was willing to eliminate sanctions, the only deterrance we have to try to keep Russia from meddling in our elections.
• Trump would have benefitted personally from Russian sanctions being dropped by opening the door to financing the Trump Tower Moscow deal, his decades long dream.
• In short, Trump was willing to give up our election security for Trump Tower Moscow. He knew it was wrong and so he lied about it. This is a betrayal of the citizens of the United States of America.
