Trump's corrupt DOJ asserts thousands of voters in California, & other states, may not be eligible to vote & is disrupting the election to stop it. Note ALL voter rolls are a matter of public record of registered voters. No reason to block elections now. They months/years to examine voting rolls.

It’s just so appalling and enraging how casual and commonplace this has become. I’m out of words.

RFK: "There's five hundred million Arabs in the world. And yet they don't produce science. They don't win the Nobel Prize. They don't win the Fields Prize. They don't win the Wolf Prize. They don't produce literature."

I'm not Scandahoovian myself, but I'm married to s woman of Norwegian descent, one who got to reunite with distant family this past year in Norway. My son, Norris, was on the popular reality show, "Alt for Norge," season #5, a cultural survivor show for Americans returning to Norway. Had a blast.

Synonyms for CORRUPTION: - graft - venality - debauchery - decadence - filth - perversion - depravity - turpitude - crookedness - abomination - vileness - malfeasance - devilry - profiteering - putrefaction - debasement - degeneration - villainy - fraud - Trump

Norway has its act together, unlike the USA. They have $2 TRILLION in their oil trust fund; the USA has $40 TRILLION worth of debt, most of it red ink run up by "red" Republicans.

The next president should, among a long list of reforms & repairs, pay the legal expenses of every victim of Trump's vindictive lawsuits. Maybe seize that $400 million Qatari jet & sell it, even as scrap, to help cover the costs.

The lesson from Brazil is that democracy cannot be taken for granted. Defeating authoritarianism at the ballot box is only part of the struggle. Defending democratic institutions, protecting civil rights and demanding accountability require strong, sustained, principled public participation.

Lula wins Brazil election! Stops Latin America right wing wave!

Wouldn't that be something if we learn someday that the largest "crowd" Trump could manage to attract was 14 people? & all those other multitudes were AI generated?

Here's a prediction & I hope I am wrong: When we finally chase Trump outta our White House we'll find that our stash of gold at Fort Knox is gone.

Where's he getting all that gold to slather all over his Billionaires' Ballroom? The gold for all those medallions & googaws plastered all over the White House? The gold for that mountain of commemorative Trump coins? He fired all the watchdogs, right? Nothing to stop him. Yoink!

The ownership & profits of the world's oil & gas should be set up like the Norwegians do it. Boot out the billionaire oligarchs & set up Trust Funds in each country for the people.

There's over $2 TRILLION in Norway's Oil Trust Fund. Meanwhile, the USA followed the advice & practices of the billionaire oligarchs & is $40 TRILLION in debt.

Trump is BIG MAD about Obama saying the White House now looks like Saddam opened a Cheesecake Factory: "He's not a smart guy. He's not smart at all ... for you to say it's a Cheesecake Factory, that just shows why you were a lousy president"

My dad, an Army Air Corp vet, & my mom, a WWII widow with her 7-year-old son, who never met his natural father, went out on their first date, the 3 of them at dusk in the marsh behind the farm catching fire-flies.

I'm no expert on totem poles, but one of the most beautiful things about them that I've been told is that they are supposed to age naturally & fall, just like the trees they are carved from. They return to the earth & it's the job of living humans to erect news ones to continue their stories.

Uday (or is it Qusay?) sure likes to play soldier. Reminder: nobody in the entire Trump family tree has served a day in uniform since arriving in the USA in 1885.

According to Zelenskyy, for nearly a month Pete Hegseth has not been signing off on the delivery of vital Patriot and NASAMS interceptor missiles for Ukraine that European allies have already paid for. Here is a video of Hegseth cynically wishing Ukraine “success” a week ago:

Lula’s victory matters well beyond Brazil. The result and the effort to overturn it have implications for Trump’s regional ambitions, American interference in other countries’ politics, and the challenges that can persist after voters have made their choice. Here're 5 takeaways:

Probably the dementia explains it the way Trump's sings the praises of other men's asses. A bit more slippage & we'll really be entertained when he starts raving about various women politician's asses.

It must be genetic. No need to tell my people, "Go West, young man." Crossed the Atlantic. Settled in Canada & colonial Massachusetts New Hampshire Vermont Virginia Pennsylvania & territorial Ohio Illinois Minnesota South Dakota. Live in Oregon now. At the beach I dive in the surf & swim away.

A suggested reporter's question to Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH): "Did you take the president's high praise for your well-muscled ass as a compliment or did it just creep you out?"

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

TRUMP's lusty praise: - "I examined his ass & looked at his shoulders ... He's got a jawline" (Sen Jon Husted) - "I actually think Rick Jackson is a very handsome, beautiful-looking guy" (GA gov candidate) - "I actually think Mike Collins is a good-looking man & he is ALL man" (GA senate candidate)

Imagine other similar, Trump gushings: - Ted Cruz's ass? He doesn't have one! How he manages to walk around I don't know. - Putin's ass? A pair of grapefruits! Must be all that horseback riding. - Vance's ass? One cheek is 5 times bigger than the other! I knew he was warped, but not THAT warped.

Ruined trade relations, Shredded alliances, Alienated neighbors, Ballooning debt, Incompetent appointments, Military purged, Inflation running wild, Elections threatened, Experts sacked, NOTHING makes the USA stronger. This is NOT a program of a patriot. This is a program of a fool or a traitor.

2012, EPSTEIN email to MUSK,“how many people will you be for the heli to island.” MUSK:“Probably just (2). What day/night will be the wildest party on your island?” & later “I’ve been working to the edge of sanity this year & ... really want to hit the party scene & ... let loose." E: “Understood."

Musk denies Epstein ties, but he did go to his mansion. There's communication about planned trips to the island & ranch. Who knows? Other Trump officials/insiders with Epstein ties: Com Sec Lutnick, Navy Sec Phelan, Steve Bannon, HHS Sec RFK Jr, CMS Admin Mehmet Oz, former Labor Sec Acosta.

MUSK email (Dec 25, 2012) “The invitation is much appreciated, but a peaceful island experience is the opposite of what I’m looking for." EPSTEIN: “ ... I will see you on St Barth, the ratio (men to women) on my island might make Talilah uncomfortable." MUSK: “Ratio is not a problem for Talulah."

TRUMP's stump speech: "Transgender for everyone ... It's all going to be put right back in as soon as they win. They win you got it right back. YOU WILL ONLY HAVE YOURSELVES TO BLAME. I don't think there's any coming back from that either, there's no coming back. We did a great job to win."
