I did a little work for a guy who lives near me today and almost walked away. He was complaining about this and that racial/ethnic group "hanging around" the bus stop near him. And then went on to bash "those liberals" etc. And defend the criminal in the White House...

And then he complained about his girlfriend (they don't get along, they fight when together) who lives in another state, but is going to come see him and they're getting married, and I asked why? No good reason. Other than he's in his 70's and she's much younger and wants his money (I think.)

In the public perception, being radical can sometimes be seen as being visionary or progressive. Conversely, being labeled an extremist typically carries a negative connotation, reflecting actions or beliefs that are considered dangerous or excessively rigid. -I have always been a radical, I guess.

So I got this notice to invest in Trump IRA. Guess what, I'm retired, I don't make enough to pay bills, let alone put toward future retirement, and it's fake news anyway. What it is, a website authorized by Executive Order (what else) for a 2022 tax plan. = NOT Trumps. Screams scam to me.

bills * or health insurance, another scam. Eligible for Medicare next year... if I can pay for a supplement plan that's worth it on top of what they take out of my SS check for it ... Or the alternative of paying half my income or more for health care.

Today the Republican LLC (corporation) sent me a flyer FOR a candidate endorsed by Bernie Sanders. It said, do you want a Democratic Socialist? (On the back, it said vote "no") What if I never turned it over? Another one blamed high diesel prices on... "the war Obama started with Iran" :~

I can NOT believe it. I talked to two different people today who mostly don't like what Trump is doing. But one thought we should expand ICE enforcement, and deport poor people. The other (female, baptist) said she would not vote for a woman, or a Muslim - like Kamala Harris! Ignorance is bliss.

Other aims? To protect universal Human Rights. To promote equitable economic and social development. To regulate world trade and other global processes. To protect the Environment and Ecology. To resolve problems beyond the capacity of national governments. And no entrenched powerful corporations?

Was talking to a guy today in a wheelchair, has been for decades and he runs off helpers right and left, because... ... "they're liberals" ...they're gay/lesbian ...they're (insert racial group) Then he says "I like Trump" ...they should rig elections for him ...we need war ...other crap

I had someone tell me today, they're against wind power because "those big turbine things are ugly." And then: "they ought to ban those solar panels, they're un-American." And that they'd never drive an electric car (even as prices rise on oil?) Well, Gas stations and oil spills are even more ugly!

"...300, 400 million illegals are in the US every year! We need to enforce all our immigration laws." (text from a "Patriot Party" supporter.) What's worse than the Republicans? This. (Apparently this also includes native Americans. But not rich people in their party..)

So, I guess the current administration adores school shootings (*and bombings) as well as bombing fishing boats, killing citizens, not to mention making the poor suffer, etc. Too much crap to mention. I'm surprised it doesn't have a ZERO approval rating.

Goodbye Christi Noem!! Or should I say good riddance! And now she's appointed as "envoy" to one of Trump's fly-by-night groups or whatever they may be called that have no validity. And we all know, this came because Trump needed some sort of scapegoat for his own policies.

A great free holiday gift for your favourite authors is always to leave them reviews everywhere they sell or start or join discussions about their work! #BindingChaos #HeatherMarsh

I actually saw this today: "People who don't support Trump shouldn't be allowed to criticize him." OK, in my mind that turned into "People who support Trump should all criticize him." The first was from a guy who got rid of his (male) helper for wearing nail polish as part of a Halloween costume.

I saw this one today. Maybe Trump needs to reconsider some things. "He has kept among us, in times of peace, Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures." And then there's the whole let's deport citizens that are people he doesn't like or oppose his dictatorial policies...

A convicted felon, a psychopath, and a moron walk into a grocery store. They think it's old fashioned. There's no one working and no produce, because the guy (it's all the same person) had all the workers deported. And the prices on everything else are too high anyway because of tariffs.

I pledge allegiance to no flag, no state, no republic, no nation, no god, in and undivided world, (with liberty and justice for all.) And with that in mind, from each according to his abilities and to each according to his needs. It's a start. Maybe we can get that ratified in the USA?

Re-reading the 2013 copy of Binding Chaos by Heather Marsh. It explains so much. There's more to the series in the last 12 years, it's an ongoing work. Nation-states are not the best form of human society. All forms of government so far do not work. Monetary systems are a poor form of exchange.

From what I've seen so far to make America great again, we need to get rid of Trump, his appointees, his executive orders, and negate such illegal and or unconstitutional acts he's made so far. Oh, and expose all his lies and fallacies.

Trump wants to rename Veterans day "Victory Day" (I guess in honor of Russia, who did more to defeat the Germans than anyone, but, as usual, he's claiming it was his administration or something. Yet he has no power to do so anyway.) Good Grief.
