Politics-What's on your mind?

Well … I find it interesting that there are some members of the Republican Party who have not let Jacka$$ Jordan assume speakership. Thank heavens because, literally, there is nobody on their side of the political spectrum that deserves to be speaker. I keep hoping that Hakeem Jeffries will be speaker one day as he seems to be cut from the same cloth as House Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi.

I also think it is simply amazing that Judge Chutkan & Judge Engoron are staying the course and are not intimidated by the charlatan known as the trumpedo who keep right on torpedoing himself with his cataclysmic arsenal of lies and criminal behavior.

Looks like the winter holidays might remain untarnished by the giant orange narcissist. Hopefully, by spring, no more will this person dominate news feeds. Can hardly wait until he is stripped of every stripe that has hurt every person since his porn shop dad thought he could cleverly reinvent the “rules” of how to be rich and never pay taxes.

Looking forward to hearing news of any type which talks about people helping people and not people at war with other people.

From the BBC podcast "Happy News", Oct. 16, 2023

Several women won the Nobel Prize this year. In Economics, it was the first time a woman alone won the prize; Claudia Goldin of Harvard University studied the gender pay gap around the world. She has also studied the effects of contraception on women in the labor force. Katalin Kariko shared the prize for Physiology and Medicine for developments with the Covid vaccine. Anne L'Huillier shared the prize in Physics. The Nobel Peace Prize was won by a Muslim woman, Narges Mohammadi, who has fought for equality for women in Iran.

Bill Gates stays optimistic in the face of tough circumstances. Although he has seen first hand the results of climate change, he says, "The human condition has improved a lot. We started the century with over 10 million children dying under the age of 5 every year. Now we have that below 5 million. And so that kind of progress, where it's better now than it was back in the year 2000, that's going to continue." He sees this kind of progress as similar to what's going on with climate solutions. Tech solutions have produced drought-resistant seeds, cement that doesn't contribute to climate change, and AI that better predicts climate change fueled weather.

Mike blames mass shootings on 60's revolution. He blames mass shootings on feminism, no fault divorce and schools embracing evolution.

And worse....

trumpism is here. Please vote, for your best interest.

I sure do enjoy your perspective, my friend.

I totally agree with your assessment concerning the new GOP House Speaker.

— nobody in the GOP, well — most all of them, do not care or cherish the presiding notion that it is because of our devotion to Democracy that affords people in our country to **choose** peaceful relations with others, rather than blowing up the world and killing innocent people over the incessant need to dominate and control others as if they’re expendable.

We have literally got to oust people from congress and other governing agencies who don’t care about doing what is best for our country.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. I appreciate you.

Thank heavens for former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. Did ya see how he incinerated his GOP debaters??? LMAO, or not, I’m glad he is putting up a good fight against the biggest liar of all time (well, outside the purview of Lucifer aka Satan) — the person who probably never paid for his orange spray painted tan, like ever.

Thank heavens for Liz Cheney exposing the current speaker of the house.

—————————.

I don’t know about anybody else but I’m super proud of our POTUS and his vice president. Joe Biden has been in the halls of Congress longer than most. He’s honest. He doesn’t lie. He has scrupulous behaviors and makes the best choice, each time a choice can be made. People might state perjorative bullshit ideas about executive democrat elected officials but their ill formed ideas and opinions don’t make what they say, true.

We are on an extended, borrowed time both personally and collectively — both the planet and human beings.

Let’s make it count.

<<<<<—— Voting strictly an up and down ballot as a Democrat for Democrats. For the People , by the People. Not for kings or queens: we don’t have time for those types of terrifying choices.

Really Nickie Haley????!!!!! You'll pardon Trump if he is convicted and you manage to get elected???!!! You're disgusting as you try and play all the angles!!

All three of the top GOP candidates (Trump, DeSantis, Haley) have created divisions on race, history, and/or gender. They intentionally distort the facts. I expect this of at least one candidate from either party, but not from everyone on the top (of either major party). Haven’t seen this before now.

Trump quoting Hitler is Stephen Miller whispering in his ear. Miller is a smart cookie. He helps pulls the strings behind the curtain but is careful to never take credit. Something else, is Holocaust denial far behind? After all, it’s what the morons they bow down to want to hear.

I still think Haley is aiming for the VP spot. She knows the GOP won’t nominate her as POTUS in 2024, but she’ll have a good chance at POTUS in 2028 if she can just get on the ticket as VP in 2024.

And ain’t it just the height of irony that Republicans (who represent management!) have somehow convinced working people that laws and policies that benefit the richest are somehow designed to bestow happiness and prosperity on the rest of us?

I’ll vote for the Democratic nominee and whomever I like in the Primary, but I’m checking out. I no longer watch political news stories and may stop reading them for a while.

Here’s hoping 2024 isn’t as bad as I expect it will be.
