Sum and substance: We all knew the rule of law was imperfectly applied. The difference was, honor, humility, and selfless effort. Ostracism was there for all others. When voting, try to find candidates subject to one or more of those four characteristics.

Some people view a bait ball as an adequate metaphor in defeating Trump. I do not think they are correct. On the other hand, bait balls do serve a purpose. Nevertheless, when such people invite me to leave, I will happily accept the invitation.

When I see cases of FIFA teams being disrespected by authorities in the U.S. I have a hard time being sympathetic. I keep hearing the lyrics to an old song by Randy Newman: "Momma told me not to come".

Many have a special interest which is so much more important than other special interests, they will not subordinate. Few know the horror of war, except, possibly, through a questionable empathy. It is a privilege.

The word has been out since Neville Chamberlain. The problem is that this category of politician generally sees their work as a 9 to 5, colour by numbers affair where they just show up, appear busy without rocking the boat, then go home for dinner.

Dear Legislators: Just because we don't call your office and tell you what we want you to do, does not mean we are not watching you. If 99% of your constituents called and said "Do wrong" that does not mean you should do it. You know better. Do better. We are watching. See you in the booth.

I encourage everyone to support Democracy Docket, a legal firm dedicated to fighting for your right to vote. Marc Elias is lead counsel. You can read news letters for free, more detailed news letters for a subscription, & if you have money, you can contribute. They don't fuck around.

My final straw came long before the Presidency. Long before The Apprentice (never saw a minute of it). My final straw was ownership of, and pride in a golden toilet.

Regardless of your political philosophy, if it came to fruition, someone is going to make you want to kill them, imprison them, or forfeit your gains. It may be innate to their character. Some might even call it American. . . .

When you see the "left" attacking liberals, or "liberals" attacking the left, ask yourself if you're sure it's not just a Republican inciting division among any who are not Republican. "Isn't that what a Republican would say?"

I read on 1440 this morning that California may end up with only 2 Republicans to choose from in the general election because their opposition is so divided. Don't say you didn't ask for it.

We always cooperate to compete, but we rarely compete to cooperate. If I were POTUS, I would issue pardons to all with a net value of less than X who refused to pay taxes to the federal government during the Trump Administration. And I would declare war on problems, not countries or people.

The hope of the Epstein files is that the contents would turn his supporters from him to us. Even if true, what kind of people are we, relying upon them for our saving?

Trump will bring out the best in us. I am not sure if our best will be good enough. Hitler brought out the best in us. We cleansed our pallet and spit. But it was hard and much was destroyed and many were killed. The results were a big, but not perfect step forward. Do we have what it takes? 🤔

I watched Babylon last night. The initial party (peeing & all) made me think of Epstein's parties, & what the differences might be. Now we have tiny digital recording, more vetting, discretion, but most of all, hazing & the voluntary provision of kompromat in order to join in. . . .

For the sake of argument, let's say guns will not get us out of this mess. I suppose those who agree have a plan. I'm doing my part. But question: Is part of the plan to spend resources advocating for gun control? How is that not supporting Trump?

The nightmare of AI is not that it could move beyond our control. If it did that, it would render money and power irrelevant, and it would have no sense of self-preservation. The nightmare is if some humans can control it, & others not.

I wonder if the 2nd A includes technology, robots, & AI? If Trump's Brown Shirts, ICE, et al, employ those against us, we are really going to have to punch up, at a hidden, gated, inaccessible community. That's some scary shit right there. That's what tech bros are doing with the money. Hiding.

Every time we use the word "MAGA" (which they made up), Republicans can run to shelter in the word "Republican". They like to divide us, and they like to divide them; but for different reasons. Republicans, all of them, own all of this shit. There is no "MAGA".

Since Republicans want all who are not them to be divided, & since Republicans race in to stir the pot whenever unity might appear in their opposition, how is one to know if divisive rhetoric is organic, or just a Republican plant? Wouldn't they say the same thing?

The opposite of a "doomer" is a "Charlie Brown". And guess what, Chuck? Your gullibility and naivety are no longer endearing or cute. Take Lucy out or join her. We've got tools to clean.

There are plenty of reasons to want peace. What Trump wants or does not want is NOT one of them. Do not calculate your action or inaction based upon what others tell you he wants or does not want.

GO DARK. Everyone knows better. It does not matter if 100% of constituents call & say "Do X". If X is wrong, the "representative" should not do it. Thus, I go dark. I don't contact them, & I damn sure don't enable someone addicted to $. I just vote. . . .

Don't call. Don't confirm their inflated sense of self-worth. Don't answer polls. Don't send money. Go dark. But vote. If the vote is cancelled, game on. The whole country should GO DARK. They know what they should do. There may have been a time when "representatives" needed to know what their . . .

Constituents wanted, or needed. But we are past that time. You know what to do. They know what they should do. Primary everyone, but if your chosen one loses, don't let any hate you spin up for the winner during the primaries prevent you from voting for that winner in the general.

To champion gun control is to obey in advance. I don't want violence. I want gun control people, & the "give peace a chance" people to step up & prove this can be done without guns or violence. I've been stepping up. This is our time. But to spend it attacking those who support the 2A is division.

I see many posts which stimulate the thought: "If we had a leader, acting as POTUS in absentia, as Trump did under Biden, this issue could be addressed." Particularly where an individual or corporation could be warned not to aid Trump, because there will be clawback, with interest & penalties . . .

and 5th Amendment protections against takings will not apply. There are many other issues that could be addressed, guaranteeing election of that POTUS in absentia, but more importantly, causing collaborators to rethink their provision of aid & comfort to a enemy domestic. . . .

The problem is, as in the past, we don't have a leader, & our ranks are replete with back-stabbing, connivers, purists, & establishment gatekeepers, as well as those who have dropped the "enlightenment" from "enlightened self-interest." It makes me want to observe, instead of act.

I'm starting to see a lot of gun control posts on BlueSky. Trump united the gun freaks with the gun control freaks: Neither would take up arms against him. I've blocked Republicans on here just for the peace. Maybe I'll start blocking Trump's gun control supporters too, for the same reason.

Pedophilia = bad, but the only reason it's getting more mileage than all his other BS is, the left thinks the right might actually join together on this straw, making it the final one. It's telling: The left is again looking to the right for confirmation or alliance. We can't do this on our own?

Take names. (Rather than blather about evidence of complicity in giving Trump props, from now on, I'm just going to say "Take names". Shorthand for, remember who these fucks are/were when the time for reckoning comes.)
