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.
