I agree with you, maybe I am just a bit "jaded" now by all this damn bickering, hypocritical, misogynistic, crap.

I am reconsidering my "take" on Pence....I know very little about him, just bits & pieces. You have challenged my mind to reconsider (heavily) his ability/capability. I have always valued your opinions, esp in this forum. Thanks for making me think harder than just superficially, Orema!!!

I LOVE Kamala & would wildly welcome her in the 2024 races, and we surely have been "surprised" before....several times, (sadly)!!!! I have faith in an ALL women race (Dems) with a couple, few Repubs. Gabby Giffords is amazing. She would be an incredible candidate, and could surprise us. Time to remove those antiquated dinosaurs!! :).

I was with you till you got to that wet towel-of strength Pence (though I think VP Harris is ready now—she just doesn’t have a chance). I find Pence a total putz. It was people like him who legitimized Trump. I don’t think he stood by Trump as much as standing with the Evangelicals who needed someone like Pence who could get Trump in the White House to appoint conservative judges.

I think Nikki Haley is going to be the first female/BIPOC POTUS if she runs on DeSantis’s ticket as VP. A DeSantis/Haley ticket would be hard for the Dems to beat. I think Haley will run for the Republican nomination, but I think DeSantis will get the nomination and she’ll join his ticket. And if that happens she’ll be a strong candidate for POTUS in 2028 or 2032.

And the only way the Dems can win is if we commit to voting for the nominee. I think that is a message we need to push when we get into the rumble-tumble 2024 primaries. We can fight all we want in the primaries but we need to stand as one once we have a nominee.

You're too kind, Clay. Thank you.

I like the idea of an all women ticket very much. My problem is that I compare everyone, men included, to Hilary and they all come up short when it comes to experience and accomplishments. I know, I've got to find a new measurement stick and not to compare them to her.

And I'm really worried about the Republicans since the moderate Republicans are turning against Trump.

We need someone who can bring out a big turnout with people of color - especially black voters and Latinos would be good too - as well as young voters. Yeah too bad Obama can't run again. We need to outnumber the clueless old white voters - at least some of us vote the right way!

What do you think, Bulldog, about Hakeem Jeffries? I know he just was appointed to lead the Democratic Caucus, following Nancy Pelosi's tenure as Speaker of the House. I think we will see how strong of a contender he can be, over the next two years.

Do you have an assessment concerning Hakeem Jeffries??

I am interested in hearing your take on who the Democratic party might recommend or choose as a candidate for POTUS.

Awww, K! Thank you!. You are yourself!

WOMEN have GOT to do some major ballcrushing in order to TRULY......."Heal The Soul Of The Nation"!!! ALL of us need to get on this & fix this world as much as we can....(and now we are going to Mars....for what? To fuck up that planet? I am sick & tired of seeing women oppressed, suppressed, bullied, brow beat, UNDERPAID since time began, OVERWORKED. A woman's job, truly IS, never done. Men see to fucking the world up for us to make it all better for them. They earn quadruple what many ordinary citizens' earn. EQUAL PLAY< EQUAL PAY! PAY UP< FUCKERS!!! I am sick to death of politics, sick to death of being denied, sick to death of seeing $$ flow out the door to support war, crime, drugs, etc. LET"S TAKE A STAND...stop doing everyday job be it home or workplace. Really STOP doind ANYTHING...lt the men run it. You will uickly see a major ruudely awakening....ready? I am!!!!

Men have killed climate, pissed almost all the world off, stuck their business where it shouldn't be, created fascism, war, enemies, think it is ONLY THEIR WAY OR THE HIGHWAY!, refuse to look right here at home, at the poor, at little people who are minorities, desperately need HELP in all ways. Yet, many do not even know us. But by goddess, the fuckers can sure find your phone #'s, FB pages, & emails and hound the shit out of you to get YOUR ALL IMPORTANT hard earned, heavily taxed, unfair pay scale wages to line their OWN pockets. Funny how that IS a thing & IT WORKS to fulfill their ornery, stick in the mud hypocritical agendas....as they make 6 figures a month while we suffer!
I am STILL pissed at how Rumples quickly, (bullied) his way through expediency beyond belief as he filled the NOTORIOUS RBG's spot AGAINST her dying deathbed wish! His RINO's (Trumpugnicants) assisted him & bullied that SCN immediately. Funny that!
THEN, when Biden wanted to nominate someone....what a long, drawn out, sickening shit show ensued. Funny that, too. It is okay for trumpugnicants to do so, but nay, let's shoot the DEMS down.

ALL WOMEN can right this old world IF can get that stronghold.

HOW the hell does Rumkins even get away with majority of shit sandwiches he peddles. WTF does he have that everyone kisses it? Gold lined asshole?! HAHA HOW does he manage to "get rid" of everyone who impeached him...who did so TWICE!

Latest rift with DeSantis & Trump? DeSantis is the Harvard Grad with USN distinction who is the new Golden Boy (one who kept Florida FREE (MY azz). Ask him how many folks he "killed" forcing us to go against WHO Health Rules.

Well, NOW that table has turned. DeSantis more highly favored for 2024 & to BEAT Trumpethead. Since Trump is FUMING mad about that, (oopsie, did him lose him narcissitic path to build a pile of shit up into an UNpresidentcy? He sure did!!! SO, Trumpless is spewing vitriol at DeSantis like mad. He stood up on the ONLY show in town who will have him (and many local stations denied him coverage to feed his ego.....lmao....and swears that in 2018, HE (singlehandedly) controlled that race with Andrew Gillum (who was way ahead of DeSatan for quite a while) to boost RON up. Says he called in DOJ & CIA to investigate the false claims that Gillum lost by only 5000 votes, that x number is "missing"...sound familiar? Ought to. DeSantis is his product and HE made him who he is today.

He singlehandedly DESTROYED the Trust in honest, clean elections!


Okay, rant over, Hope it makes sense..I am so exhausted I can not think anymore....goodnight....:)

I like Hakeem Jeffries. He is very intelligent and has always impressed me. I honestly don't what kind of leader he would be although he seems to have the respect of his colleagues. He is a good choice.

To be honest, I am sad to see Nancy Pelosi step down. I know we need some young blood but she is one of the greatest Speakers and leaders of the Democratic party of all time. But it's great she will still be around instead of just retiring the minute the Democrats lost the House. I think that says a lot about her.

I seriously wonder if the Affordable Care Act would have passed without her leadership.

And no one stood up to Trump better and more often than Nancy Pelosi.

Newly elected NY Rep. George Santos. How is it possible he will still be installed when his whole campaign was nothing but lies about his life? When somthing this blatant happens there should be some sort of recourse. Top it off with the fact the GOP apparently knew and joked about his lies and then did nothing about it!

The initial NY Times report was jaw dropping, but then more and more lies were revealed. I joked with my friends that the only thing he didn't lie about was being gay. I asked if we could perhaps 'in' him. I mean, people get outed often enough. Couldn't we put him back? We don't want him! Well, it didn't take long to find out that he had been very recently divorced from a woman. It isn't exactly what I hoped for, but it was an amusing and timely little moment of fun.

In all seriousness, the NY State Democratic Party is in terrible shape. I'm not talking about the electeds. The problem is within the organization itself. Several of the people who are supposed to be leaders are absent, malevolent or outright criminal. Democratic votes are being taken for granted. Had the party leadership done any due diligence Santos's lies would have been known and publicized during the campaign! He never would have won, or should have won, in that blue-leaning district.

Are you kidding? T---p proved that Americans will put up with any number of lies if they think the candidate will vote their way in office. As I recall, somebody wrote a book back near the beginning of his presidency and he told seven-hundred-and-something documented and disproved lies in his first 100 days. People running for offices have learned they can lie about anything.

Don't know about what other's think but .... T---p gets a check because he's an ex prez.... he's living off the proverbial dime of every single tax payer in America. And will keep living off the people if no one has the fucking balls to stop letting T----p get away with all his crimes.

This is unacceptable on so many levels. I understand that there can and will be mistakes-overlooks-misplaced-shuffled documents etc. As much as I disdain the previous administration I will say: our eyes and ears have been alerted to the need for oversight in so many areas of our government. Our weakness is our tribalism-

We must and can be better educated citizens/voters keeping our democracy secure, safe, transparent. T's exploitation of all 3 is the road map for moving forward. It will not be easy for sure-

I'm shocked but Biden having the papers isn't as troubling for me as Trump. Biden has had some level of access to classified docs for 50 years—ever since he became a Senator in 1973. Trump has only had access for a fraction of that time. And Biden isn't known to cozy up to dictators like Trump. But there has to be better control over classified info.

This could really blow up IF the right journalists latch onto this or it could be swept under the carpet. Surely there are many members of Congress who have different levels of access to classified docs who are on Senate Committees and House Committees. (Armes Services, Finance, Foreigh Relations, Homeland Security, Ethics, Intelligence, etc). And some of these Representatives and Senators take these docs home without permission.

But no one is going to admit this unless confronted. I don't expect much from journalists these days but this is something one of them may want to sink their teeth into. We'll see.

I like what you said, in the first paragraph of your post, Orema. That's the thing though: Biden has been in Congress and in Executive Government positions, which out-classes those whose access to such documents is restricted (for safety across the proverbial board). And I agree with your observation concerning T=-=-=p: He sure enough cozied up to authoritarian rulers across the globe. I would argue that T----p should sacrifice his US citizenship based on his Anti-American and Anti-democratic choices. Secondly, his citizenship should be revoked permanently based on jeopardizing the safety of Americans (...).

I can't imagine this will ever happen. How embarrassing would it be for the United States to have a former president in exile? Plus, the Republicans are pretty much in charge of everything right now. Plus, there's something to be said for keeping your friends close and your enemies closer - we don't need T---p gathering an army in exile like some banished younger princeling. Maybe one day it will happen though - I have to say, there's part of me that really likes this idea. Let him go live in Moscow with his friend Putin.

I heard on BBC and I think NPR also that the U.S. is sending heavier weapons to Ukraine. Some political commentator (I don't remember who, sorry) said that the goal of the U.S. so far has been to send Ukraine enough weapons that they don't lose the war, but that they don't win it either. I understand the U.S. doesn't want to antagonize Russia and get NATO even more involved in this war than it already is, but it shouldn't just keep dragging on forever. Some of the other NATO countries are starting to give Ukraine heavy equipment too, like tanks. I'm really hoping this ends it before we get to spring. Ukraine expects Russia to drop back for the rest of this winter (destroying infrastructure and civilians along the way), and then make a concerted effort in the spring. Russia needs to be completely defeated before spring gets here, in my opinion, or this thing will just keep going on, destroying lives and the infrastructure of Ukraine.

Debbie Wasserman Schultz Gives Fox News Analyst A Harsh Lesson On Opinion vs. Fact

By Ben Blanchet
Feb 11, 2023, 09:00 AM EST

The U.S. representative called out Jonathan Turley during a Congressional hearing for offering up "pure conjecture" about Twitter.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) grilled a Fox News legal analyst for sharing “pure conjecture” during a hearing for the House’s new Weaponization of the Federal Government committee.

Jonathan Turley, a GOP-called witnesses, spoke Thursday about the “Twitter Files,” or internal information about the platform that CEO Elon Musk provided to journalists — but Wasserman Schultz wasn’t buying that he had any “unique knowledge” about the social media giant.

“Do you have any formal relationship with the company?” she asked.

“No, I just have an account,” replied Turley, an attorney and George Washington University law professor who has offered various confusing takes on Fox News over the past year. He later added that his knowledge of Twitter did not go beyond the Twitter Files and what he’s read in the media.

“So essentially your responses to the questions here today were your own opinion and pure conjecture,” Wasserman Schultz said.

“You said that you don’t have any specific or unique knowledge of Twitter, but you spoke as if you did. ... And so this is only just your opinion, would you say, as a Twitter account user?”

“No, I come to give legal analysis based on facts that are in the public domain,” responded Turley.

“‘Legal analysis’ is another word for ‘opinion,’” Wasserman Schultz shot back.

Watch the exchange below.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been accepting free vacations, food, airplane trips and more for over 20 years. Most of this has come from his "friend" Harlan Crow, an uber-wealthy GOP donor. Crow has also provided access to Thomas from his GOP friends on these vacations.

Technically, Supreme Court justices don't have to report these kinds of gifts, seemlingly because we trust them to understand what's ethical and what's not. We don't trust members of Congress - they're required to report anything over $50.

But Clarence Thomas isn't ethical! Congress knew this when they approved his appointment, because of the Anita Hill situation. So I don't know why everyone is so surprised now.

In addition to the lavish vacations provided by Crow, it has now come to light that Justice Thomas sold some real estate to Crow for about $133,000. Thomas is required to report real estate sales of over $1000, but he did not report this.

Clarence Thomas should never have been nominated or approved to sit on the Supreme Court.

Sorry for the free flow of thoughts and badly written opinion if you have made it this far, but it's almost midnight and I can't get to sleep.

This morning the Washington Post is reporting that Thomas has claimed income from a defunct real estate firm for years. And it’s a real estate firm that was owned by his wife and her family.

Sounds like money laundering to me.

Whatever the case, he and his wife are grifters.

Thank goodness for Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton and Ben Crump. They show up in more ways than one when there’s a problem in Black communities and they speak out. I’m very grateful for them.

Wish there were people who would consistently show up when LGBTQ+ people are attacked, have problems, or need representation. Maybe they’re out there and I just don’t know about them.

I think Rachel Maddow on MSNBC represents well and consistently, but as a journalist at MSNBC, she’s restrained on just how much she can speak out because she works at a news organization. I was hoping that Caitlyn Jenner would be a voice for us, but that ain’t happenin’.

It’s really disheartening for me not to have anyone speaking for us. Hopefully that will change soon.

You know, America was once a place that accepted people of all cultural backgrounds but apparently the Cancer of Racism, Greed, and unaddressed Criminal Behaviors of those who think they can get away with their hateful ways, has reached a serious tipping point today.

Will Americans let the fucked up GOP (Re-Puke-lians) wreck our economy and ruin what is left of our once dignified ways of living????


Will Americans let Trump and his ass lickers get away with all their horseshit???


Will Americans DEMAND that corrupt politicians be removed from office???

Will Americans stand by and let that asshole governor from Florida ruin the way people live by taking their rights away and locking up people for being who we are????


Guess what?


I won't back down and live in a closet or prison because some fucked asshole can't be kind and considerate or care about others who are not like them.


Please know that I am not proud of our country.

But I am proud of those who stand up with us and ride proudly.

Human Rights Campaign Press Release June 6, 2023
 
HRC Press Release

https://www.hrc.org/press-releases/f...-and-travelers

HRC’s First-Ever Emergency Declaration Comes After More Than 75 Anti-LGBTQ+ Bills Signed Into Law This Year (More Than Double The Number From Last Year), Creating an Imminent Threat to the Health and Safety of LGBTQ+ People and Families Nationwide

LGBTQ+ Americans are living in a state of emergency. The multiplying threats facing millions in our community are not just perceived — they are real, tangible and dangerous. In many cases they are resulting in violence against LGBTQ+ people, forcing families to uproot their lives and flee their homes in search of safer states, and triggering a tidal wave of increased homophobia and transphobia that puts the safety of each and every one of us at risk. As we kick off LGBTQ+ Pride Month, HRC will be working tirelessly to educate and arm the LGBTQ+ community with information and resources to ensure their safety — whether they’re planning summer travel through regions that are becoming increasingly hostile to LGBTQ+ people, or whether they already live in a state where legislative assaults and political extremism are continuing to put a target on our backs.
“There is an imminent threat to the health and safety of millions of LGBTQ+ people and families, who are living every day in uncertainty and fear. Our number one priority will always be ensuring that LGBTQ+ people are safe and have the tools they need to defend and protect themselves against acts of hostility, discrimination and — in the most extreme cases — violence. It’s also incumbent on our allies across the country to stand with us and make it clear that they won’t sit idly by while extremists attack and malign LGBTQ+ people and our families. We’ll fight tooth and nail to ensure the safety and dignity of every LGBTQ+ person is respected and protected — without exception.”
— Kelley Robinson, HRC President

Yes, the Sheriff said that it's to prevent people from parking there during "high profile legal proceedings". The D.A. gave staff remote workdays in August.

The D.A.'s investigation centered around solicitation of election fraud (which we all knew about), making false statements to government bodies (which we also knew about), violation of an oath of office (ditto) and being involved in threats regarding the election (same). But, news to me, she is also investigating him for conspiracy and racketeering. Conspiracy is hard to prove, I understand, but wouldn't it be great to see Tp sent to prison on RICOH charges?

BTW, Tp is also trying to get the D.A. disqualified. He also wants to disallow the grand jury's report that contains the evidence for the D.A.'s charges. Fortunately, similar motions previously made by Tp's people have been denied by the Supreme Court of Georgia. He keeps trying the same tactics over and over, with slightly different wording. What is they say about people who keep repeating the same actions, trying to get a different result? LOL.

How appropriate that Jack got his indictment of Trump on August 1st the start of the "once in a blue moon" month. Actually, the inditement is beyond a blue moon rarity, it is a first!!
Great job Jack!!!

Not only is it “Once in a blue moon” but the document (indictment) itself is 45 pages long.

American Democracy is in grave danger if people don’t vote a straight up and down Democratic ticket. Back in 2016, votes cast for Third party detractor Jill Stein split the potency of the Democratic Party Vote — which is exactly how T—-p was elected.

Don’t fall for third party politics in the up coming presidential election.

I will be voting strictly Democratic ticket.

I can hardly believe Americans will vote for a convict.

That what T——p is to me, in my eyes. He is nothing more than a silk suit lying grifter who conned Americans and keeps conning Americans.



Hopefully, Georgia crimes will be prosecuted first. Alvin Bragg won’t mind letting this court case go first.

Hey there, Orange POS, you can’t say you are not getting “fair” treatment.

You have jeopardized American lives in the most egregious ways. You have brought shame and distrust to our country.

You (orange pos), have hardly ever been fair in your entire life.

Your spoiled A$$ is in BIG TRUBBLE.

May Americans never condone your shit show crap,
… E V E R...

:firetruck: <<<~~~~~~ times 45 bazzillion. :|

As if I don't find Ron Desantis disgusting enough, his statement about how he will be going into the deep state and start slitting throats on day one is damn sick rhetoric! What in hell is wrong with these people?!

Just read a news report on August 2nd about how mid- state Florida is a prime breeding ground for Leprosy.

Not sure what to think about the DeSatan effect. *lol*

I can hardly believe that people in Florida are just accepting what that person says and does as if it’s okay.

Nobody I know has plans to visit or move to live there.

Hopefully he is ousted from his stint as a governor. Can’t believe anybody would hire him at radio or a tv station . Well, most likely F-x would. You have to be deranged to tolerate working there, I suppose.

Here's what I think: I think there's gonna be a proverbial blood bath of epic proportions. You can't fuck over people, and not get caught or pay the price. And the price, I hope, will be a huge price because if it's not, then white collar crime will look easier and easier to commit, unless the biggo brakes are applied and remedies are doled out. Remedies like making tax evasion artists pay back all the million-billion's of dollars they've scammed from the US. Remedies like enforcing Anti-trust law and prosecuting big business and nameless corporate board and share holders for robbing the daylights out of everyone, when they should have been held accountable all this time.

I have a massive list of grievances a mile or two, or in some cases thousands of miles long; but I'll stop there tonight, because I am guessing lots of others have massive lists of grievances as well.

I'm sick to death of never hearing about how these types of criminal scam artists never get what they actually deserve, punitively.

The last big personality that was held accountable was Madoff; and you-know-who in the WH is eerily just like them (to me, in my mind).

I'm tired of the wretched 'rags to riches' crap that is foisted upon American public and touted as the ultimate goal anyone can achieve. That's a load of Bull-sh*t. I don't buy those long-held myths, or social scripts.

I will believe justice is truly served when the occupants of the WH and their cronies, members of the crooked GOP, are held accountable for every last horrible deed they've done over their lifetimes.



We don't need a proverbial 'Savior' or a 'Hero' or somesuch thing.

We Don't Need Another Hero (Tina Turner, from Mad Max of Thunderdome): That song has been stuck in my mind, for days now.

What we need are people who really care about the treachery being committed against the will of the people and for those people to band together and support the people who care and support the social causes that denounce this type of unpardonable behaviors which hurt not only us in America, but people in general around the world.


That's what has been on my mind lately.


**** Tick Tock, Tick Tock ****

On the evening of April 1st, 2029 @ 6:55 p.m., I wrote the above post. That was 4 years ago and I still hold the same sentiment and still the same deep concern for all of us. We’ve been, collectively, experiencing a non-stop barrage of smelly, stinky, shitty crap that is launched at us daily by a rabid, out-of-control lunatic who needs to be muzzled immediately and admitted to a facility for the criminally insane (orange menace type whackos of the same stripe as Maddoff or others who exhibit their brand of insanity).

2016-2024: Nearly 8 years under siege by T—-p & T—-p family members and acolytes who ‘worship’ the person who will ultimately sell everybody off into bondage and leprosy land.

All I want to say is America better wake the fuck up and vote out the members of their respective political party and make sure we get Democrats elected so we can save our country from complete ruin.

All Hail Every Single Judge and Elected Official Who Takes Steps To Save Our Country and Bring T——pTo Justice And Take that Terrible Person Off The Payroll. STAT.
