BUT....

 Pressure grows on Clarence Thomas after more gifts from rightwing donor. Disclosures detail flights and stays with Harlan Crow as Democrats vow to investigate scandal ‘in which this court is enmired.’ (The Guardian)….BUT most to many within the Anarchist Political Party are more concerned with removing legally elected Districts Attorney’s who are following the laws by indicting Trump. If a Republican breaks ethics or laws, it ain’t no big deal. But anyone with the audacity to have Trump become accountable for his Seditious activity is considered Public Enemy Number One!

Texas Supreme Court allows ban on gender-affirming care for most minors to take effect Friday. The bill's passage in May was celebrated by Republicans who argued that the bill protects children. But Democrats worried that access to life-saving health care will be curbed under the law. Gender-affirming care spans a range of evidence-based treatments and approaches that benefit transgender and nonbinary people. The types of care vary by the age and goals of the recipient and are considered the standard of care by many mainstream medical association. (CNN)…. BUT the same “Pretend We Are Trained Medical Professionals, Republican State Judiciary and Legislators, insist that they are Pro-Life, as long as that life remains in the womb. The sanctity of Life they INSIST, once again playing the parts of Medical Experts, is THEIR priority, except when it conveniently IS NOT.

 

MR. TRUMP: My son Eric is much more involved with it than I am. I’ve been doing other things... I was very busy. I was — I considered this the most important job in the world, saving millions of lives. I think you would have nuclear holocaust, if I didn’t deal with North Korea. I think you would have a nuclear war, if I weren’t elected. And I think you might have a nuclear war now, if you want to know the truth. We are an ungrateful nation. That's all we are. We are allowing ambitious prosecutors to harsh the mellow of a man who saved the world, probably more than once, and kept generations of Americans yet unborn from glowing in the dark. Of course, this meant that he didn't have the time to keep tabs on the alleged financial fraud that was being committed in his name because keeping generations of Americans yet unborn from glowing in the dark is a full time job, dammit, and we are an ungrateful nation. (New York Times & Esquire))….BUT we all should, according to TRUMP’s Narcissism, be in eternal debt, all the while overlooking any and all crimes he committed, because HE committed those crimes while saving our asses, not his!

ACTUALLY, who IS the enemy

DeSantis’s Campaign Slogan Amounts to ‘LGBTQ+ People’, ARE THE ENEMY (Advocate)

Along with being right-handed, (but actually only able to cut with scissors using my left hand), having brown eyes, and once a headful of brown hair, I also was born a HOMOSEXUAL! Now, I might be able to purchase a pair of blue-tinted contact lenses, dye my hair blond, and for a while change my appearance, but in the end, my hair is still brown as are my eyes.

 

I recall, way back in the 50s, while in elementary school, how often during our Writing Class, how the teachers would not only urge left-handed kids to use their right hands to learn cursive, insisting that using your right hand was truly the only way a young child would ever make it to be a successful adult. I also remember how often my left-handed classmates would cry trying their hardest to use their right hand, when in fact they were born left-handed. It seemed that the teachers way back then associated LEFT-HANDEDNESS as being some kind of enemy, some kind of enemy against the very black-and-white decade of the American 50s. They might be enemies of some preconceived self-created NORM.

 

A fascist is a follower of a political philosophy characterized by authoritarian views and a strong central government — and no tolerance for opposing opinions. (Google). It seems that Ron DeSantis has no patience, for opposing opinions. It seems Ron DeSantis as Governor of Florida has established authoritarian views and a strong central government. Who actually IS THE ENEMY?

 

Before I was brave enough to finally say I am a HOMOSEXUAL, and embrace one aspect of my true identity, I did consider myself as an enemy to my family, my friends my community, and worst of all to my own well-being. Like the left-handed students in elementary school, I thought I could change something, as fundamental as my sexual identity…I COULD NOT. So I ask and beg the question, who IS THE REAL ENEMY, the humans who want to be themselves, as they were born, or those who need to create an ENEMY for their own insecure survival?

Actually, for life

 Medicare on Tuesday announced it will negotiate prices for 10 drugs, including major blood thinners and diabetes medications, in the first round of its negotiation program created in Democrats’ drug pricing reform law. (stat)

Hey, all you Republican/MAGA/Trump Christian Nationalists pretending to be Pro-Life…This is an example of actually being for PRO-LIFE, by aiding that life to not go broke trying to LIVE. Seems for all of you, Republican/MAGA/Trump Christian Nationalists, once that zygote, fetus becomes a baby NONE of you seem to give any concerns for what happens next…I guess from your way of thinking, Pro-Life becomes unnecessary.

 

Hey all of you Democrat Party Talking Heads, how about TALKING OUT LOUD, AND PROUD, about the true definitions of being PRO-LIFE, as in the health, welfare, education, and economics NECESSARY to maintain a GOOD LIFE, for as long as possible!

 

By the way, thank you President Joe Biden for actually being PRO-LIFE!

Mikey-P

 ‘Consensus Is the Opposite of Leadership’: Pence Slams Haley for Opposing Federal Abortion Ban-Mike Pence (National Review)

PRO-LIFE, Mother Pence’s little boy Mikey Pence, insists that being Pro-Life, whether or not the rest of us consider its meaning, does not matter, because he assumes that he is a GOD. Not just any God, but the God of his choice and choosing.

 

NOW, Mother Pence’s little boy Mikey is very passionate that ALL Americans should follow his approach to governing, pretending that in a Democracy CONSENSUS, has little to do with BEING THE PERSON IN CHARGE.

 

One must, NO, ONE MUST ASK Mother Pence’s boy to define, in its entirety the full definition of PRO-LIFE.

 

Does it mean life outside of the womb? As in universal health care, universal education? Does it mean the LIFE of Trans kids and LGB kids? Does it mean the LIFE of Immigrants? Does it mean the LIFE of People of Color? Does it mean the LIFE of a woman who cannot carry the Zygote or Fetus to term, because by doing so she and the Zygote and Fetus might die? Does it mean the LIFE of those homeless and living in dire poverty? 

 

Mother Pence’s boy, Mikey sure loves to talk about PRO-LIFE, but he never seems able to ACTUALLY DEFINE IT!

Like A Rolling Stone

 This BLOG, on this day of Sunday, August 27, 2023, is dedicated to Bob Dylan. "Like a Rolling Stone" is a song by American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan, released on July 20, 1965. I was a sophomore in high school when I first heard this song. I had no idea then that all of the lyrics to this song, would resonate and become relevant to the life I might live, decades later. It is now forty-plus decades later, and as I fondly listen to this piece of music, I find not only relevance and reverence for this song, but sadly I find such meaning to this song’s intention as it relates to the current events in which I find myself struggling with, that is terribly frightening. 

 

Ahh you've gone to the finest schools, alright Miss Lonely

But you know you only used to get juiced in it

Nobody's ever taught you how to live out on the street

And now you're gonna have to get used to it

You say you never compromise

With the mystery tramp, but now you realize

He's not selling any alibis

As you stare into the vacuum of his eyes

And say do you want to make a deal?

 

This BLOG, on this day of Sunday, August 27m 2023, is an example of the derelict of responsibility, not only by the Republican Party but by INDEED, by the lack of accountability of the Candidates running for the office of President, from the Republican Party.

 

Ah you never turned around to see the frowns

On the jugglers and the clowns when they all did tricks for you

You never understood that it ain't no good

You shouldn't let other people get your kicks for you

You used to ride on a chrome horse with your diplomat

Who carried on his shoulder a Siamese cat

Ain't it hard when you discovered that

He really wasn't where it's at

After he took from you everything he could steal.

How does it feel, how does it feel?

To be on your own, with no direction home

Like a complete unknown, like a rolling stone?

 

People like Nikki, Mike, De Satan, Vivek, and Scott, are sad empty plastic bags flowing in the Hurricane Winds created by America’s Public Enemy Number One, TRUMP, and they, like a rolling stone just exist only because the HURRICANE WINDS OF TRUMP, blow and blow, making ALL of them LIKE A ROLLING STONE.

MARGIE-MUG SHOT

 The hashtag "MagaMugshot" is full of digitally edited mugshots self-produced by supporters of the former president. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) posted a photoshopped "MAGA mug shot" after former President Donald Trump was booked and released at a Georgia jail. (CNN Politics). 

If only the phone records and Texts from the members of the Freedom Caucus could be made public, a few weeks before, the of, and the weeks following the TRUMP-led, MAGE/Republican COUP attempt on January 6th. Sadly too many of those sitting as Representatives in the House, seem to have a lot to hide, even as they seek to continue defending the INSURREFTIONIST TRUMP.

 

It “ain’t” just the crop of GOP Traitors and Treasonists sitting in Congress, no, the rot and ruin has filtered to the States, mainly Gerrymandered Red States elected Officials also.

 

Projection has become the trend for Republicans, as I see it, as in PROJECTING THEIR OWN CRIMINAL INTENTIONS upon anyone who is not them and mostly ANYONE THEY DEEM AS THE ENEMY.

 

And now MARGIE-PUTIN-GREENE has demonstrated her TRUMP INSPIRED PROJECTION ROUTINE, by photoshopping her mug shot onto the long list of the Georgia pack of Traitors. Margie has almost demonstrated her plea to count me in because I am as disloyal to this nation as TRUMP!

Pay Attention, Please

 Fascism is a far-right, authoritarian, ultranationalist political ideology and movement, characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition.(Wikipedia) The following FIVE examples, examples of the news regarding Republican Politicians and Republican Voters, as I see it reflect perfectly, the definition of Fascism. In Georgia once again the Republicans wish to overturn the will of people. In Georgia, a band of Insurrectionists had one desire, and that was to follow orders from their Leader Trump. Bat Shit Crazy, and abnormally stupid, Palin, hints at domestic war against a duly elected government. The government in Florida plays physician, educator, and parent. 

For me, it is not HYPERBOLE, EXAGGERATION, or INCORRECT to compare the wishes and wants of the Republican Party, their POLITICIANS, WEALTHY DONORS, and BASE as comparable to FASCISTS.

HOW MUCH MORE?

 How much more? An ex-president attempted to overthrow our government, and promises, if re-elected to actually destroy democracy by using the power of the office of the President to continue his path toward a dictatorship. He has broken Constitutional laws, and is using the Constitution as a crutch to gain his freedom, only to, once re-elected to burn that Constitution in the same pile as banned books. AND, he has the permission, so far of not only a large population of this nation but the support of Republican Politicians who have openly placed their self-preservation above and beyond the freedoms and liberties of the citizens of the United States. How much more?

How much more? The cadre of GOP candidates whose desire is to become the next TRUMP, pretend that somehow being Pro-Life, EXCLUDES, the quality of life we actually live! Save the unborn they declare but pay no attention to the climate in which they try to survive and thrive. Say no to science and medicine, both of which can and should prioritize the potential for a safer and healthier life. They want to play teacher, they want to play doctor, and they now want to play parent, deciding who has rights, liberties, choices, and freedoms. How much more?

 

How much more? One person one vote, the supposed American Exceptionalism of endorsing and enhancing the spirit of free elections, and fair elections, have become nothing but empty words via the actions and denials from the Republican Party. From permitting Governors to fire legally elected officials who disagree with authoritarianism, to the Supreme Court granting partisan Gerrymandered Districts, to still supporting an Electoral College system helps defeat a majority of voters' choices, which makes SWING STATES and SWING STATE VOTERS more important than each and everyone else. How much more?

 

How much more, America. How much more when, in fact, I believe we ALL should be SCREAMING “NOT ANY MORE!”

Send In The Clowns

 Don't you love farce?

My fault, I fear

I thought that you'd want what I want

Sorry, my dear!

But where are the clowns

Send in the clowns

Don't bother, they're here. (Send In the Clowns/Stephen Sondheim)

 

Wednesday, August 23, 2023, on FOX, the clowns dressed in the costumes of Republicans, were on stage in full view of the world. Some are more clownish than others, but all ready to jump through hoops, wag their tails, honk their clown horns, and digress to the lowest denominator of depravity to win the hearts and soulless souls of the GOP base of voters.

 

The circus never packed up their tent, after Trump’s attempted COUP,; the CLOWNS scattered like a virus of contempt and depravity to try and plant their CLOWN seeds, never disavowing words like WOKE or DOMESTIC TERRORISM or FASCISM or HATE, or TREASON.

 

There must still be an audience for this GOP ANTI-AMERICAN CIRCUS, a sad sack group of people who love to shoot themselves in their own feet!

"Born Free"

 Born Free…

Stay free

Where no walls divide you

You're free as a roaring tide so there's no need to hide

Born free

And life is worth living

But only worth living

'Cause you're born free. (Born Free/Don Black)

 

The song is called "Born Free" and it's about being free like the wind and grass. The protagonist is encouraged to follow his heart and live freely because the world is beautiful and full of surprises.

 

As I watched and read the news regarding the upcoming Republican, (or is it the TRUMP PARTY) debate, (or is it the TRUMP PARTY side-show), the song Born Free started ruminating in my head.  8 count ‘em, 8 people will be on stage promoting their VOTE FOR ME PLEASE anguished talents. Maybe two of the 8 will demonstrate a backbone and or spine, but at least 6 of them will most likely showcase their disloyalty to our Constitution and Form of Democracy. And most of them will CERTAINLY emanate their SHEER SHALLOWNESS AND COWARDNESS. AND MOST OF THEM WILL NOT NOR EVER BE FREE!

 

Now, I know that with the Republicans void of a real platform, these folks will discuss issues of WOKENESS, explaining as best they can lie, that to be free is not to be LGBTQ, or a person with Female reproductive lady genitals, an Immigrant, or that Slavery was a freeing kind of American concept, or read just any book. BUT MOST OF THEM WILL CERTAINLY NOT DISCUSS THEIR OWN LACK OF FREEDOM, from the confines of an American Enemy, TRUMP. For them, life seems not to be “…worth living…free!”

Ain't no FREEDOM THERE

 They identify themselves as THE FREEDOM CAUCUS, and they AIN’T ABOUT ANYONE ELSE'S FREEDOM BUT THEIRS!

The current Chair of the caucus is Representative Scott Perry from Pennsylvania, with Representative Jim Jordan as the Deputy Chair. In January 2022, Representative Lauren Boebert was elected as Communications Chair, Representative Warren Davidson as Whip, and Representative Chip Roy as Policy Chair. Some extra special MAGA men and women include Trump’s White House Doctor, Ronny Jackson, who stated Trump was the healthiest of most Presidents, Matt Gaetz who still has a bit of a problem with underage girls, Darrell Issa, arrested multiple times, charged with for insurance fraud and grand theft. Paul Gosar, whose siblings stated, "It's just lunacy, it's not politics, regarding his conspiracy theories. Originally there were 52 members of this Ultra MAGA conclave of Insurrection supporting Representatives, but since they expelled Margie-Putin-Greene from their COVENT OF CONSERVATIVE MADNESS, they are at 51 members.

 

In a statement, the ultraconservative Republicans said they will oppose a short-term extension of government funding — known as a continuing resolution — if it doesn’t include a House-passed bill that funds restrictive border policies. The continuing resolution, they said, must also include provisions that “address the unprecedented weaponization of the Justice Department and FBI” and it must “end the Left’s cancerous woke policies in the Pentagon.” (Washington Post)

 

Once again, I believe to help incite chaos and confusion for the Biden Administration in favor of Trump, these Treason leaning sycophants wish to stop our government from functioning, hoping that the consequences will sway voters to not vote for Biden. The only bit of FREEDOM these anti-Democracy jerks aspire to is to stay out of jail by defunding the agencies which have been scrutinizing their own misdeeds. And for them, there will NEVER be FREEDOM for the People of Color/LBGTQ communities, anyone who does espouse their form of Christianity.

 

I have been waiting for the so-called GOP Moderate Representatives to grow a backbone, you know the Republicans from swing districts, you know the only GOP Representatives NOT FROM GERRYMANDERED DISTRICTS. You know the Politicians that actually MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE TO THEIR CONSTITUENTS Where are they?

The Human Centipede

The Human Centipede (First Sequence) is a 2009 Dutch independent body horror film written, directed and co-produced by Tom Six. The film concerns a deranged German surgeon who kidnaps three tourists and conjoins them surgically, mouth to anus, forming the eponymous "human centipede." 

This, for me, was one of those “gag reflex” movies in which at my viewing I actually had to turn off the TV. But then I actually had to wonder, how the hell and the hell was going to actually happen to these people. This was and is for me a GROSS movie, but I did manage to watch it in its entirety, regretting the lost hour and a half I spent choking as I watched it. I also wondered how exactly any actor in his or her right mind could play their part without becoming physically ill.

 

BUT, lo and behold, in real life, I seem to be witnessing a remake of The Human Centipede, in the form of the majority of candidates running for the office of President within the Republican Party. With the exception so far of Chris (I will remain a self-centered jerk and hypocrite) Christie, and Asa (my record as Arkansas Governor leaves much to be desired) Hutchinson the rest of the Lonny bin lineup of GOP wannabes seem to want to have themselves conjoined to Trump's anus, as were the characters in The Human Centipede, (albeit at least the characters in the movie were victims, while these GOP morons volunteer gladly)

 

Pardon Trump, make excuses for Trump, ignore Democracy, ignore the Constitution, ignore the law, permit a criminal to remain free from a Jury system, all of these actions by most of the GOP wanna be Presidential nominees, reminds me of nothing more than the GROSSNESS OF BEING A HUMAN CENTIPEDE!

When A Stranger Calls

When A Stranger Calls: Jill Johnson is babysitting the children of Dr. Mandrakis at his home. When the children are asleep, Jill receives a telephone call from a man who asks her if she has checked the children. Jill initially dismisses the call as a practical joke. However, he calls again and again, the calls increasing in frequency and threat level, and Jill becomes frightened. She calls the police, who tell her to keep the perpetrator on the line long enough for them to trace the call. Jill receives one final call from her harasser. Immediately after the conversation, the police phone to inform her that the calls are coming from a line located somewhere inside the house.

From Rudy Giuliani to Sydney Powell, to Mark Meadows, to John Eastman, to Ted Cruz, to Lindsey Graham, to all of the Republican Senators who voted not to Impeach Trump, to Mike Lindell, to the Fake Electors from Michigan and Arizona, to the Murdoch Family, to Evangelical Preachers and Ministers who swore Trump was sent by God to Margie-Putin-Greene to Kevin McCarthy, to Matt Gaetz, to the members of the so-called “Freedom Caucus,” and the list does go on and on…guess what America, “the phone call, of Insurrection, Treason, and Crime against the Constitution is in fact coming from inside our American House, and sadly it is not a stranger calling, but people we ALL know!

 

And as long as Trump remains a free man, and still has the ability to become President again, that phone will ring and ring and ring!

Day After Tomorrow

 The Day After Tomorrow: After climatologist Jack Hall (Dennis Quaid) is largely ignored by U.N. officials when presenting his environmental concerns, his research proves true when an enormous "superstorm" develops, setting off catastrophic natural disasters throughout the world. 

I enjoy watching even the most schlocky of apocalyptic movies, viewing them and wondering what exactly would I do in this same dire situation, if these situations were actual life events. So for the next hour and a half or two hours as I watch the end of the world events, and even as stereotypical heroes and villains are portrayed in typical Hollywood style, either trying to save the day, or destroy the day, I watch, I wait, I wonder, and in usual Hollywood fashion, good usually triumphs…unless the studios are planning a part two or three or one-hundred.

 

Hurricanes off the coast of California, and Baja Mexico. Devastating and life-ending wildfires in Maui. Canadian wildfires lasting for months. 100-plus-degree weather in the Plains and Texas. Intense heat waves in Europe and Greece. Flash floods all over the world. And as most to many of these are the result of Earth’s climate change, it seems, at least for me, that The Day After Tomorrow has not only arrived in my lifetime, but we are now going on the day after, the day after that, the weeks after that, and the months after The Day After Tomorrow. And sadly, since this is not a scripted movie, there seems to be no HERO around to save the day, but instead, plenty of VILLIANS, identifying themselves as REPUBLICANS.

 

I say, REPUBLICANS, because, in fact, way too many of these Politicians, be they on a State or Federal Level, are still denying that these CATASTROPIC WORLD-WIDE EVENTS, are anything more than Mother Nature. And when I did some research on these REPUBLICAN POLITICIANS, I noticed that there was one major common connection with all of them…ALL OF THEM HAD RECEIVED IN THE PAST, AND CURRENTLY ARE RECEIVING FUNDING FROM THE FOSSIL FUEL INDUSTRY.

 

I must wonder, do POLITICANS, ever genuinely think, that the money they receive from their PUPPET MASTERS, makes them safer than the rest of us?

Once more and more again

 Marjorie Taylor Greene vows to "go after all of them" if Donald Trump wins. (Newsweek)

Trump indictment sparks fears of calls to violence as Georgia grand jury doxxed – as it happened (The Guardian)

Trump made a mockery of American democracy. Why are Americans shrugging this off? | Opinion (Miami Herald)

“If there are indictments tonight, it’ll be the fourth indictment of Donald Trump,” added Cruz, who had led Republican senators’ efforts to challenge the 2020 election results. “This is disgraceful. Our country is over 200 years old. We have never once indicted a former president, or a candidate, and a leading candidate for president. (HuffPost)

“Just Say That the Election Was Corrupt, and Leave the Rest to Me”: In Georgia, Donald Trump Appears Beyond F--ked

The ex-president operated like a Mafia boss and, thanks to a new racketeering charge, may go down like one too. (Vanity Fair)

 

It is Thursday, August 17, 2023, in America. One might think, just reading the headlines that we were living in the 1920s during the heyday of the Mobsters, who seemed to have run wild and seemed to have run entire cities and states in America at the time. MOBSTERS/MAFIA/CRIME BOSSES AND CRIME FAMILIES, full of threats, violence, ass liking Politicians, and crimes with no consequences. It is Thursday, August 17, 2023, in America. One might think that America lost the Second World War fighting against Fascist Dictators in Europe, where liberties, freedoms, justice, law, and order, had nothing to with the will of the people, but with the whims of Politicians acting as MOBSTERS/MAFIA/CRIME BOSSES AND CRIME FAMILIES.

 

Judges, Juries, and Law Enforcement Officials threatened. Republicans in State and Federal Governing bodies, refusing to admit that a war on Democratic Principles has been set in motion. Facts are replaced by fiction. Truth is only told in hypocritical sentences. Propaganda is used as news.

 

I must worry and wonder as an American citizen, how do our days in the year 2023 end? How will we survive 2024? When will, IF EVER, the majority of American Citizens, finally ACT UP/FIGHT BACK/BE LOUD and take back this nation from the hands of Mobsters and Fascists.

But Mere Mortals

 John Adams went even further, advocating for the President to be addressed as “His Majesty.” Washington himself had no desire for absolute power, but he was concerned that future Presidents might not have his scruples. (Time Magazine)

UH-HUH! A concern that ‘…future Presidents might not have his scruples…’ George Washington had the foresight to realize that Presidents were in fact and will be in fact nothing but mere mortals.

 

"God forbid we should ever think of involving that country we have, under your conduct & auspices, rescued from oppression, into a new scene of blood & confusion; but it cannot be expected we should forego claims on which our future subsistence & that of our families depend," wrote Nicola. (Colonel Lewis Nicola, a 65-year-old, Irish-born military veteran who lent significant expertise to Washington's forces during the war.)

 

Trump Indicted in Georgia. Prosecutors Accuse Trump of ‘Criminal Enterprise’ to Overturn Election (New York Times)

 

Mere Mortals, yet so it seems way too many Politicians believe that their purpose is to become a kind of Royalty, and in the case of way, too many current Republicans to actually become Tyrant. So far, we have term limits for a sitting President (I imagine if Trump is re-elected he might very well try to change that), we DO NOT HAVE TERM LIMITS for Senators and Representatives, which, at least for me, helps these Politicians to think of themselves as some kind of Deity!  

 

And with the behavior of men like Nixon and Trump, one must wonder, at least I do, why there is not a more concerted effort in this country to set a better clearer understanding that being President is not and never will be a person above the law. We are not, YET, a MONARCHY!

Bad History

 Electoral Count Act of 1887

The ECA has not been updated since its enactment more than 130 years ago, and it is rife with gaps and ambiguities that make it confusing. Critically, the imprecise language allows for multiple interpretations of key terms. For example:  

The ECA sets a national election day per the Constitution, but the law is ambiguous as to what sorts of exceptions could allow states to choose their electoral college members after Election Day. 

The ECA makes it too easy for individual members of Congress to try to throw out a state’s results.  

The ECA supposedly allows states to resolve their own election results and contests but has no enforcement mechanism to protect those resolutions. 

The ECA does not have a clear and concise process for resolving disputes if Congress deadlocks when it meets every four years to tally the electoral votes. (CLC)

 

State of Georgia Indictment of 2023

The indictment also focuses on the so-called fake electors — people who signed a certificate falsely declaring that Trump won Georgia in the 2020 election and that they were the state’s official electors. "The false documents were intended to disrupt and delay the joint session of Congress on January 6, 2021, in order to unlawfully change the outcome of the November 3, 2020, presidential election in favor of Donald Trump," the indictment says. (NBC News) 

 

FAKE ELECTORS. ATTEMPTED COUP D’E.TAT  ( A sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government.). CHARGES OF CONSPIRING TO DEFRAUD THE GOVERNMENT. We have witnessed this, and we are still suffering the consequences of this. Those with the power to change any or all of this, still seem to have their own heads inside their own asses. 

 

YA WANNA MAKE CERTAIN, NO OTHER WANNABE AUTHORITARIAN TRIES TO OVERTHROW OUR GOVERNMENT, THEN WHY NOT FINALLY CREATE A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT FOR DIRECT NATIONWIDE ELECTION BY ELIGIBLE VOTERS????? Too many people in this nation want to ignore history. Our current history, as of almost 4 years ago, is right in front of our faces, but it seems that too has become TOO CRITICAL.

The Practice of Law

 THE PROFESSION OF PRACTICING LAW: Ken Chesebro/John Eastman/Rudy Giuliani/Sidney Powell/Michael Cohen/Katherine Friess/Bill Barr/John Durham. Just a few ATTORNEYS OF LAW, who had decided to take the law into their own treasonous, greedy, anti-American, and fascist-leaning hands, and create a TRUMPIAN form of law.  

Each person taking an oath: Taking the attorney's oath is not just a ritual. It is required for admission to practice law in California. You may take the oath at an in-person or virtual group swearing-in ceremony organized by your law school, local bar association, or through another group. “I solemnly swear that I will support the Constitution of the United States, . . .” As officers of the courts, lawyers are sworn to support the Constitution not just of the state in which they seek to practice, but above all, to support the Constitution of the United States. (The American Bar Association).

 

Notable, isn’t it, how flimsy, filthy, and fucked up, these men and women became, deciding that the lies, the con, the grift, and the hate for freedom BY TRUMP, was a more significant priority than upholding the LAW.

 

And where is the LOUD blowback by and from the ATTORNEYS in this nation, who actually abide by their oaths, their responsibility and practice their profession in good faith, and with honor? Yeah, yeah, yeah, some state bars have decided to disbar a few of these snake oil lawyers, but I hear no LOUD, VOICTROUS, demand that anyone who placed TRUMPS priorities over Democracy, be called out in a unanimous manner. 

 

Oh, yeah, way too many of these folks, once accused of crimes have played the MIA CULPA game, but not until their actions caused them criminal liability.

The form of evil

 There is a fifth dimension beyond that which is known to man. It is a dimension as vast as space and as timeless as infinity. It is the middle ground between light and shadow, between science and superstition, and it lies between the pit of man's fears and the summit of his knowledge. (Rod Serling) 

Most anyone who has ever watched the ‘Twilight Zone,’ can immediately tell you about the episode that remains embedded in their mind. For many fans it is actually quite difficult to list just one favorite episode, because when a person begins to recall the madness, terror, shock, and awe of even one episode, like a tsunami, at least a half dozen episodes flood our minds. But at least, whether it was a half-hour show or an hour-long episode, once Rod Serling appeared on the screen at the end, many of us could begin to feel a little safer, until the next week.

 

The past year, at least for me, has been if anything, a rambling mess of the worst of the “Twilight Zones.’ A collection of the vilest, the evilest of degenerates and deplorable, and a cacophony of unbridled revolution to travel to the lowest of the low with regard to the politics, policies, and practices of this nation. Like so many episodes of the ‘Twilight Zone,’ the innocent have been bombarded by the disregard of laws, the disruption of norms, and the WANT and WILL, to ignore the welfare of others. I believe TRUMP has succeeded only because a large minority of people never want to pay any consequences for any and all crimes they may have committed or might like to commit. TRUMP is a hero for the selfish self-serving Americans who NEVER EVER FELT THAT RULES APPLIED TO THEM. Like, “a whack on the side of my head,” it finally dawned on me that the people who support TRUMP lack conscience, hate morals, and make up their own principles to cover up their own self-loathing.

 

Anyplace, everyplace, where there's hate, where there's prejudice, where there's bigotry. He's alive. He's alive so long as these evils exist. Remember that when he comes to your town. (Rod Serling) As Rod Serling states, HE, in the form of evil, has come to our town.

CA-RAAAA-ZY

 Donald Trump says he has so many allies he can’t keep track of them. When asked by a reporter in Iowa on Saturday about alleged election interference by allies in Georgia, he offered a rambling response: “Many of the allies I don’t know because we have so many allies and a lot of them I don’t know so I don’t know exactly what you’re talking about.” He went on to say, “I can tell you this. These people want to see democracy, they want to see a nation be great again. Right now our nation is … going to hell. So we have a lot of allies that I don’t know, but they’re allies nevertheless. And I can’t speak to that. Nobody can answer that question. But I can tell you one thing, there was a lot of shenanigans going on with the election.” (The Daily Beast) 

I know I know…one more CA-RAAAA-ZY rant from Trump, but Trump IS currently the head honcho from within the Republican Party to obtain the nomination for President, and BECAUSE, the Dems have not fought hard enough to eliminate the Electoral College, Trump just might be elected as President.

 

When do we as a nation actually get scared? Seriously, when do we finally realize that we have run out of time, run out of a WAY OUT, and run backward instead of forward? How much more CA-RAAAA-ZY shit, bat shit CA-RAAAA-ZY, must we endure before someone, somewhere finally explains to this nation that a CA-RAAAA-ZY person might become, once again, the most powerful person in the world!

 

The Republicans are a minority of Anarchists in this nation, yet they seem to have the majority of citizens in their clutches. Without Gerrymandering, Voter Suppression, Dark Money, and Billionaires wanting to avoid paying taxes, the Republicans would and should be nothing more than a pathetic political party. I will Fight, I will Act Up, I will be loud, I will remain Vigilant…BUT DAMN, where are ALL of the Democrats in power doing the same things?

again and again...IN FLORIDA

 DE SANTIS IS DANGEROUS! THE REPUBLICAN LEGISLATURE IS TREACHEROUS! THE GOP/MAGA IN FLORIDA WANTS TO BECOME A BANANA REPUBLIC AND RULE AS AN AUTHORITARIAN REGIME, IN SPITE OF, DESPITE OF ANY WANTS OR WILL OF THE PEOPLE.

Florida says it doesn’t want indoctrination in schools — but look at the materials it just approved:

The materials include videos, magazines and books that in some cases disparage the Black Lives Matter movement, deny that police unfairly target Blacks, question the impact of human use of fossil fuels on the environment, and call out “climate alarmism.” There are videos on “How to Embrace Your Femininity” and “How to Embrace Your Masculinity,” one on “How to Be a Rational Patriot” that says the United States was founded on “Judeo-Christian values,” and one under the categories of “Life Lessons and “Judeo-Christian values” called “How to Learn to Forgive.” Topics covered under the PragerU Kids banner are divided into categories for grades K-2, 3-5 and 6 and higher and are wide-ranging, including financial literacy, history, civics, character development and life lessons. (Washington Post)

 

REEDUCATION PROGRAMS HAVE ALWAYS BEEN THE PRIDE AND JOY OF DICTATORS, FASCISTS, AND COMMUNISTS. REWRITE HISTORY LONG ENOUGH AND FACTS ARE FILTERED OUT, TRUTH IS SMOTHERED, AND A NEW GENERATION BECOMES LEMMINGS AND SHEEP, PERMITTING THE DESPOTS TO THRIVE, WHILE FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES DIE.

 

“The state of Florida wants to ban books, but they’re going to allow a politically motivated program with no educational value. It really goes to show where this administration’s priorities are. Their priorities are not with the education of my child and your children. Their priority is certainly a political one.” (Washington Post)

 

LIKE SO MANY TRUMP WANNABES DE SANTIS AND HIS FELLOW BROWN SHIRTS IN FLORIDA PROJECT THEIR INTENT BY CLAIMING IT IS SOMEONE ELSE DOING THE DIRTY DEED.  ALL OF THIS RIGHT SMACK DAB IN FRONT OF OUR EYES.

 

DeSantis has repeatedly said, “We want education, not indoctrination,” but Prager U does not shy away from the indoctrination label. The organization advertises itself on its website as being in the “mind-changing” business. (Washington Post)

A beginning

 Abortion rights advocates on Tuesday won a critical victory in Ohio, beating back a measure that would have made their push to enshrine abortion rights in the state's constitution more difficult. (CNN News) 

Yesterday, Ohioans voted NO on State Issue One and instead voted YES to maintain a one-person-one-vote form of Democracy in the state of Ohio. The scam by Red State Legislatures, to limit a one-person-one-vote by eliminating majority rules, by ignoring the will of the people, had an overwhelmingly huge setback, as the voters of Ohio realized that Constitutions can and should enshrine the rights and will of the majority.

 

Ohio joined voters in Kansas, Kentucky Colorado, Michigan, and Wisconsin, realizing that the Republican Party and their Wealthy Donors, who buy and own Right-Wing, MAGA, Christian Nationalism politicians, NEVER HAVE THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE IN MIND when pretending to pass legislation.

 

Whether they are identified as PROPOSITIONS/ISSUES/MEASURES or INITIATIVES, when these items are placed on the ballot, and the PEOPLE, not the Legislators actually have a direct hand in governing, the true will wants and wishes of the Majority take effect.

 

Imagine if our nation placed topics of Women’s Reproductive Rights, Gun Safety, GGBTQ Rights, Climate Awareness, and Education Standards, on a National Ballot, how much more progress we would make with Human Rights and Civil Rights. Imagine, how, if the real American had a direct say in our government, HOW Gerrymandering, Dark Money, and PACS, would wilt on the vine because none of those equate to our Democracy!

 

Ohio is a beginning, the rest of this nation must remain Vigilant, ACT-UP, and Fight Back.

ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOSE

 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER DOSE OF REPUBLICAN FASCISM, AMERICAN STYLE!

 

‘Slitting throats’: DeSantis copies Trump’s fantasies of violence The audience for conservative media imbibes the rhetoric of violence every day. The rhetoric of the contemporary right is saturated with fantasies of violence against perceived enemies.  (MSNBC)

 

Fascism is a form of political behavior marked by obsessive preoccupation with community decline, humiliation, or victimhood and by compensatory cults of unity, energy, and purity, in which a mass-based party of committed nationalist militants. The fascists’ radical nationalist, participatory violent terror had by no means only destructive elements, but also helped to create order. The fascists believed that they could create life and order only by killing people or letting them die. The fascist obsession with feasibility and reorganization was not just potentially unlimited and anti-individualist, it also became radicalized in and through the violently charged events of the war of annihilation. (brill.com)

 

It ain’t about a justified “law and order,” for the American Republicans, if that was true, then the shouts about deconstructing the Justice Department, eliminating the FBI, calling JURY POOLS illegitimate, and verbally castrating the courts as a weaponization of the Left would never be heard. It is, as I believe about the idea of ESTABLISHING  a Christian Nationalistic form of Jihad, tribunal, one in which, “law and order,” is directed and maintained by a select few, orchestrated, by an even lesser select few, and eventually administered by a handful of people.

 

From Trump to De Satan, to the Red State Gerrymandered Legislatures, to handpicked Supreme Court Justices seemingly beholden to whichever President handpicked them, to the Evangelical Church Leaders picking and choosing which passages from their hand-picked Bibles to preach or ignore…FASCISM IS ALIVE AND WELL within the Politics of the Republican Party.

 

AND YET…AND YET, way too many Americans either choose to ignore this, or even more disgusting, seem to go along with this!

I JUST WANNA KNOW

 I JUST WANNA KNOW…

 

If the President of this nation is not ROYALTY, how come he has the ability to pardon himself whenever he commits a crime?

 

Why are Supreme Court Justices selected at the whim of a President without having completed years of experience on the bench in criminal and civil trials?

 

Why do we still have an Electoral College, which ignores the Majority of voters' wishes and instead relies on the voters of select states? And if we have already witnessed the attempt to fraud the American public with Fake Electors, why do we still pretend that the Electoral College is relevant?

 

Why do some laws pertain to the average American, while wealthy and prominent Americans seem to have their own way of avoiding any consequences of the law?

 

Why is GERRYMANDERING even a thing? Why have we, as a nation not stopped having Dark Money, and actually any PAC money fund anyone’s Political ambitions, and replaced all of that BS with a fair and even payment from the IRS toward anyone running for office?

 

Why do we not have term limits for Congress, using the same concept as we do for President, thinking that this nation should never have anyone in office for a lifetime? And why are there no term limits for the Supreme Court Justices, who by the way are NOT elected officials, but appointed lackeys?

 

Why do we permit Congress to set and establish laws regarding the Congress instead of initiating a national referendum regarding the whys and wherefores’ of Congress?

 

AND I WANNA KNOW, HOW THE FUCK, AILEEN CANNON HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED FROM HANDLING A VERY SERIOUS CASE. HOW DOES SHE HAVE EXPERIENCE WITH THIS TRUMP INSURRECTION?

 

I JUST WANNA KNOW!

Ohio-Issue One

 State Issue 1 will change the process of how citizen-led initiatives can amend Ohio’s constitution. It could change the future of Ohio’s constitution, forcing citizen-led constitutional amendments to get a 60% vote instead of a simple majority. “If Issue 1 is approved on August 8th, it would apply to all future amendments,” said former state Representative Mike Curtin.

“Until 1953, our constitution said that the Ohio National Guard was for white males only,” Curtin said. “Not until 1953 that Ohio voters approved an amendment to the constitution to allow black men to become members of the Ohio National Guard. And that passed with 58% of the vote. So with a 60% threshold, our constitution would still say that the Ohio National Guard is for white males only.” (Spectrum News 1)

 

They are at it again. THEY, being the Christian Nationalist Republican Fascist Party. THEY being the Majority of Anarchist-minded Republican Legislators and their Failure as a Governor, Republican Mike DeWine. The Gerrymandered Senate and House of Ohio, many of whom will never have to face any opposition opponent because the Ohio Legislature made certain many years ago, that Democracy has no place in a Dictatorship. For Republicans, the demise of one person one vote is just a fable, a Liberal/Progressive, and I am certain an ANTIFA, ill-conceived ideal.

 

Be afraid, all of you out there in the land of having your head up your own ass, because, state by state, from gerrymandered districts, dark money, Right Wing Propaganda, and those thinking bad things will never happen to them, the party of Trump, is coming for your freedoms.

TELEVISE IT!

 A group of 38 House Democrats penned a letter Thursday to the body overseeing federal courts requesting that former President Trump’s election fraud trial be publicly televised live. “It is imperative the [court] ensures timely access to accurate and reliable information surrounding these cases and all of their proceedings, given the extraordinary national importance to our democratic institutions and need for transparency,” the group wrote. (The Hill) 

Democracy, Truth, and Facts are all on trial along with the Anarch, Fascism, and Lies of Trump. Transparency must be the priority, so EVERYONE AT THE SAME TIME, can watch, witness and discover the EVIDENCE; NOT FOX’S propaganda, not Newsmax’s reimagined bull shit, and not any Right Wing, Neo Nazi, Anti-American Nationalism Putin loving groups, dismantling of Trump's actions.

 

“Given the historic nature of the charges brought forth in these cases, it is hard to imagine a  more powerful circumstance for televised proceedings,” the group continued. “If the public is to fully accept the outcome, it will be vitally important for it to witness, as directly as possible, how the trials are conducted, the strength of the evidence adduced, and the credibility of the witnesses.” (The Hill)

 

WE THE PEOPLE must write to our Congress, Red, or Blue, and demand that this TRIAL OF THE CENTURY be shown to each and every one of us. If not, I believe, once again ALTERNATE FACTS will thrive and destroy any chance of our Democracy’s survival. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Sarah is back

 Sarah Palin says former President Donald Trump's D.C. indictment is "injust" and making people "afraid of their thoughts”: “They [are attempting] to jail him for expressing his opinion!" (Sarah Palin Tweet) 

From the DEPTHS OF DESPAIR. From the CAULDRON OF CRAZY. From the RECESSES OF ROT AND RUIN. From the URGENT NEED OF JUST 15 MORE MINUTES OF FAME, Sarah Palin has arisen, unafraid to remain STUPIP, unafraid, to place her FOOT IN HER MOUTH WITHOUT REMOVING HER HEAD FROM HER OWN ASS, unafraid, to say and do whatever she believes will bring her notoriety and perhaps another chance to DANCE WITH THE STARS.

 

TRUMP’S thoughts, just some old man too orange and dyed, sitting in his rocking chair, thinking of lying to the FBI, lying to Congress, lying to Americans JUST THINKING…

 

DAMN, Sarah, when you try to make a comeback you still succeed in going as low as humanly possible and has dumb as shit as ever!

 

 

 

 

Little Marco

 Republican Florida Sen. Marco Rubio slammed the indictment against former President Trump as "incredibly damaging" to the country Tuesday, calling it a "sad and terrible day" for America as the former president was arraigned on felony charges for his handling of classified documents. "It’s incredibly damaging to the country," the Florida lawmaker said. "This is further polarizing us at a time when we need to be united... instead we're focusing on an indictment that has no harm, no victims." (FOX NEWS) 

One more Floridian Political Douchebag, unaware of his own brand of bull shit, unaware of his ignorance of what is important, BUT totally aware of how subservient of a sham he must be to remain in power in Florida, by licking any and all entrails of the Fascist Trump. No victims states Little Marco, huh, what? Classified documents, perhaps with names of secret military operations in which our Troops could be deployed, or our Operatives might be involved, or maybe, Little Marco, blueprints to avoid, say Russia, or Iran, or North Korea, or China, from disrupting or creating grave actions against, say AMERICANS.

 

"This is further polarizing us at a time when we need to be united... instead we're focusing on an indictment that has no harm, no victims." Little Marco, you insecure, self-serving TWAT, you pretend to have no idea or interest in the American Constitution, substituting any and all Patriotism for a chance to remain a Senator, helping no one but your own insecure and inept self!

WAIT, WHAT?

 WAIT, WHAT?

The world just got its first real taste of what life is like at 1.5 degrees Celsius July was the warmest month on record, and it won’t be the last. (Washington Post)

Hmmm, 100-year events now happen every 100 days. Once in a lifetime hurricanes, floods tornadoes, and droughts happen at least a dozen times in our lifetimes. And with our eyes wide open, natural disasters become less natural and more and more and more man-made, and yet we watch, and witness, and WAIT, WHAT, we do nothing about them.

                                                             

WAIT, WHAT?

5 Presidents Who Lost the Popular Vote But Won the Election These presidential candidates didn't need to secure more popular votes to win the election, due to the Electoral College, with two of them in modern history (George W. Bush and Donald J. Trump) (History.com)

Hmmm, the majority of voters have very little final say in the governance of our nation, leaving opportunistic, fake electors, sleazy lawyers, and corrupt courts, to decide the fate of American democracy.  Threats from the past, still haunt our elections, and threats for the future still resonate, but WAIT, WHAT, we do nothing about them.

 

WAIT, WHAT?

We fought a Revolutionary War to establish a nation of freedom and liberty. We fought a Civil war to abolish slavery. We fought a Second World War, to counter Fascism. We continued a Cold War, hoping to at least keep Communism at bay.

Hmmm, freedom and liberty are now denied to the LGBTQ community, Trans kids, and adults. Free speech is no longer accessible if you wish to read books that include facts about history, philosophies, and subject matters of gender. The primary barrier between Church and State is being torn down. The new chattel happens to be women, the slavery battle it seems is now considered insulting to white folks. Fascism is embraced by a political party, authoritarianism emboldened by a leader of a political party, and the old relics of Communism seem to own the minds of elected officials of a political party. WAIT, WHAT? Once again we witnessed the facts, we fought to change the course of our lives, and yet none of that seems to matter.

"the vapors"

 I AM SO TIRED OF HEARING THE MEDIA SAY WORDS LIKE “HISTORIC/UNPRECEDENTED/SYMBOLIC” WITH REGARD TO, YET ONE MORE CRIMINAL INDICTMENT CONCERNIN G TRUMP!

Come on folks, TRUMP was and remains a NARCISSIST, EGO-MANICAL, SELF-CENTERED, EGO-CENTRIC, WANNABE AUTHORITARIAN, and ANYONE, with any ounce of intelligence, patriotism, empathy, sympathy, concern, care, and kindness, KNOWS THIS.

                                                                                                                                                                            

As I see it, there is no longer time to place ONE’S hand on ONE’S head and pretend that ONE suddenly has “A CASE OF THE VAPORS!” And THEN, to suddenly feel woozy, as if just as SUDDENLY, the EVIL/DANGER/TREASON/THREAT from which even TRUMP himself had BRAGGED about, (regarding his own knowledge of these MACHINATIONS) HAPPENED!

 

As I see it and see it, and see it, and fucking, SEE IT, just like climate change, the WARNING SIGNS have been smack dab right before our eyes, (and those, who like the Fossil Fuel industry have profited from the evils of climate change), permitted the danger to exist, because they have profited and profited and profited.

Caitlyn Jenner, AGAIN!

 Caitlyn Jenner, the frequent Fox News contributor and ironic voice against trans rights, is picking a fight with Republican presidential candidate Ron DeSantis over his oddly homoerotic anti-LGBTQ ad from June that specifically calls her out. That ad includes a clip of a journalist asking Trump if Jenner would be welcome to use the bathroom of her choosing at his properties, to which the former president replies, “That is correct.” In a Monday night interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, DeSantis doubled down on defending his widely criticized ad, prompting Jenner to tweet: “Hey @GovRonDeSantis watching your interview on @BretBaier, You’re still defending your bizarre anti-gay ad. Which bathroom should I use?” (Jezebel)

OPPORTUNIST: Opportunism is a self-serving, self-centered approach to situations that disregards how others feel. Opportunism doesn't necessarily break the law, but it does violate manners and decency.

 

FRAUD: A person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities.

 

A PHONY: A person who pretends to be someone else or to have feelings or abilities that he or she does not really have : a person who is not sincere.

 

A HYPOCRITE: Hypocrisy is the practice of feigning to be what one is not or to believe what one does not.

 

OMG, has Caitlyn no idea, NO IDEA AT ALL, of her tirades, rants, machinations, against Trans Kids, and their families? Is she that self-consumed with Kardashian Fever, to HAVE NO IDEA just how much BULL SHIT she creates regarding who the fuck she thinks she is?

 

I do not know this LADY, but damn GURL, Caitlyn from all of your public pronouncements, announcements, attempts at 15 minutes of fame, and self-adoration, have you ever taken a moment to view your SHAM in the mirror? Or is the word I am looking for SHAME!

ATTRONEYS GENERAL

 STATES' QUALIFICATIONS FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL. The most common qualifications address minimum age, citizenship, residency, electoral status, and bar admission. 

Former attorney general candidate Matthew DePerno (R) was charged with improper possession of a voting machine, conspiracy to unlawfully possess a voting machine, conspiracy to gain unauthorized access to a computer system and willfully damaging a voting machine, according to Hilson. Former state representative Daire Rendon (R) was charged with conspiracy to unlawfully possess a voting machine and using false pretenses with the intent to defraud, he said. Both were arraigned Tuesday and released. (Washington Post)

 

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is back in hot water. He’s escaped before.

Paxton has spent much of his time in public life haunted by accusations of illegal or unethical behavior, causing quiet discomfort among some Republican colleagues. He’s always held on. Will this time be different? (Texas Tribune)

 

Yep, once again the men and women we assume (make an ASS out of U and ME), who are responsible for upholding laws, and who have the authority as the HEAD HONCHO of each state, to enforce laws, BREAK THE LAW, willingly and give the middle finger to the rule of law.

 

These criminals are supposed to be the folks who arrest and prosecute CRIMINALS. And just like the cadre of Lawyers for Trump, who either looked the other way, acted dumbfounded, or ignored laws, still have the license to practice law. This reminds me of something from Tik Tok, where you need no facts, education, or experience but yet you act like you KNOW IT ALL. So sickening!

 

 

 

 

 

 

still FOLLOWING ORDERS

 In a 1962 letter, as a last-ditch effort for clemency, Holocaust organizer Adolf Eichmann wrote that he and other low-level officers were “forced to serve as mere instruments,” shifting the responsibility for the deaths of millions of Jews to his superiors. The “just following orders” defense, made famous in the post-WWII Nuremberg trials, featured heavily in Eichmann’s court hearings. But that same year Stanley Milgram, a Yale University psychologist, conducted a series of famous experiments that tested whether “ordinary” folks would inflict harm on another person after following orders from an authoritative figure. Shockingly, the results suggested any human was capable of a heart of darkness. (PBS News Hour)

Trump has demanded of the Republicans in Congress: Former President Trump is stepping up his war with Senate Republicans by calling for primary challenges next year against GOP incumbents who do not support investigating President Biden’s family finances.  (The Hill) “Congress should refuse to authorize a single additional shipment of our depleted weapons stockpiles … to Ukraine until the FBI, DOJ and IRS hand over every scrap of evidence they have on the Biden Crime Family’s corrupt business dealings,” Trump said at the rally. He added that any Republican lawmakers who didn’t join the effort should face primary challenges, a tactic he used last year to unseat Republicans who voted to impeach him for inciting the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. (Washington Post)

 

A Dictator, an Authoritarian, a Despot, demanding allegiance, intimidating, blackmailing, imposing his IMMORALITY, MADNESS, and SELF-SERVING, MACHINATIONS upon a seemingly willing group of ARMY-LIKE ANTS, to save HIS SOUL, while dismantling their own rotted and ruinous lack of conscience and self. The Republicans call History Critical, because in fact, the facts demonstrate critical moments of human existence where men and women became monsters. Willingly, (remember one only follows orders for their own assumed SELF-PRESERVATION), these Republican Politicians place personal profession, over people, wealthy donors place their own profits over people, racists, and bigots, place their own hate over the goodwill for all other Americans.

 

BE AWARE AMERICA, BE ALERT AMERICA, AND BE AFRAID AMERICA!
