So, has "the other shoe dropped" yet in the Epstein Saga? Have all of the cast of characters been revealed? Suspect more is coming, photos or not, believe other rich white men will be revealed as "clients". Goody, hoping to see it make my Christmas "Bright".

A Winter Landscape: oil on primed, unstretched hessian, 50 x 100cm. Today’s piece from my studio sale - 20% off all work until Christmas www.artachart.com/available-work 🙂

Every day I am going to post this (permission from Del Schilling). Will you join me? Over 5700+ Missing & Murdered Indigenous Women & Girls #MMIWG #cdnpoli

And it's war fans! Start your engines!, as Trump now presumes to have the power to seize an oil tanker, then brag about it. We are now in the next level of fantasy government, and a mad king in the White House.

Do trolls, Russian or not. serve a purpose? Yes! The trolls are a good measure of the desperation of the Republicans, and as such the trolls are now swarming on the social media sites. Facebook in particular. Sure, the trolls are obvious, but they work as propaganda, or they would not be there.

Arguably this will be "The Winter Of Republican Discontent", as their messianic leader Trump is senile, and now it becomes obvious to all but the media and the MAGA cult. The Republicans, all full of victory after the 2024 election, now teeter on the edge of disaster, and desperation looms. So sad.

As ever the day starts with a tirade of political insanity, in old age I remain calm (give it time, you'll get there), and remember that Trump too will pass. The people with the money who put him in place will remain. And now seek "the new Trump", fortunately "messianic leaders" are in short supply.

In your heart, wallet and better judgement you know it's right.

Yesterday was a good one, as I read about the decline of the "Mega Churches", and with them the decline of their "rock star" pastors and the "Prosperity Gospel". I'm an Atheist, but say Jesus was not a rock star, having screamed my guts out on hundreds of stages in my life trust me on that.

How about a new political movement called "Hell To Pay"? It's a simple concept, reminding both voters, and politicians, that what they do comes home to roost at some point. It could be followed by another movement titled "Follow Them Home!".

At times the future is made clear, is this case the political future, as Republican politicians call it quits, and head home to be merely rich. This is typical, the rats are jumping ship, almost all of them are rich, and they will seek to avoid the coming storm which we call the mid term election.

Come On Washington! We've been good, Trump and many other rich men have been bad, we need a present. And we need it now. Unredacted, and let the chips fall where they may!

Noticed the politashit is getting knee deep at this point, not surprised as the Republicans are currently depressed that the nation as a whole hates Trump. They will now claim everything they do is "Patritotic", including the war Trump is trying to start with Venezuela.

Noticed that the Russians are now demanding Ukraine surrender the Donbas region to them, followed threats of "Force", the polite word for all out war. The media does not say it, but this is a game of empire, the ones the USSR had. And now Putin wants it back. I just want America to arm Ukraine.

Stepped out of the house for a bit, did Trump declare war on Venezuela yet? Did I miss it?

What do you do with a drunken sailor, what do you do with a government that is much the same condition? The legal system, slow to act as ever, allows Trump to flout and ignore the constitution, the political system remains a bad running joke and much of the electorate is fast asleep. Oh well...

When Trump is gone and the dust settles a bit the politicians of both parties will do their imitation of a battling couple, with a marriage that resembles open warfare, and say "Relax! We actually do love each other!". Once they stop bleeding.

So, will Trump get his war for Christmas? And will it be "Patriotic"? At age 70 I've seen this a dozen times, it's will be a politically "convenient little war", over before it began with America looking like the bully we tend to be at times. Thanks Patriots, thanks War Pigs, we love you too.

Here's an old musician joke for you: How do you get a guitar player to stop playing? Put a sheet of music in front of him. How do you get Trump to shut up? Put a book in front of him and ask him to start reading. Reading really is fundamental.

Noticed a new story stating "Justice Department considers "new charges for Comey", how legal mentality can you get? When they fail they think up new, and "clever", reasons to play the game yet again. And I still thank the day I did not go to law school.

WOW! Great Service From M&T Bank! Someone is playing games with my credit card(Yes, I was shocked!) so I had to call the "Fraud" department. My place in line is 1,324! As such am not holding on. What a joke it all really is!

Noticed that mid west fashion plate Kristi Noem is all over the news (and all over my phone!) this morning, seems she took it upon herself to send people to assorted hell holes in the third world (as apparently Florida would just not do). "Scandals" are typical in American politics, we shall see.

At times I grow radical in old age, as such I propose the next Dem president vow to tear down the "Ball Room", rebuild the West Wing and restore the rose garden to it's former glory. But above all to release the Epstein Files Unredacted, and let the chips fall where they may!

See? No one is safe, other then the rich.

Hear thee the words of thy lord! Behold! He doth cast thou out! Apologies in advance to the other evil people in advance, as you knew it was coming regardless.

I posted that the singer/song writer I worked with for ten years had actually seen Vladimer Horowitz in concert at the University of Delaware, we are both grads of that school. I tormented myself with thoughts of dammit! I missed again! Not so as the concert was in 1968, cold comfort none the less.

I'm a chronic musician (Piano/keys) and far worse a vocalist, and to paraphrase an old song sing "Have You Ever Seen A War Walking, Well I Have". Seems captain creepy, a.k.a. Trump, is now promising a land war in Venezuela... Oh To Joy! Viet Nam, Korea, Iraq and others here we come! Again!!!

It's not just the "Corporate System", it's a tax code rigged for all of the rich, all of the time. This Is "The Legacy" of Ronald Reagan, the father of "The Great America Deficit".

Remember this when you hear Trump's next rant about "the far left". And never forget the Americans who gave us Trump in the first place.

I just read an article about, get this, a tourist destination revolt. These locations are sick of the endless tourists, I do not blame them, and can relate as the situation is the same here. Even worse they like it and are moving in rapidly, driving the price of housing beyond reach for many.

Just saw an article that read "Why the Crypto Market Is Crashing". Really? After half a dozen previous crashes into the dirt the greedy fools still line up to lose their money, would suggest they call it "Crypto" for a very good reason.

Noticed the "War"Department is "Investigating"senator Mark Kelly for Misconduct" following a video with other Dems that reminded the troops that they do not have to obey illegal orders. Good luck with that you happy arrogant idiots!

That time that I have been waiting for is at hand: Trump is senile and even the billionaires media is on the cusp of admitting it. But much more fun to come, as Trump is well on his way to losing it in public.

I'm trying to get Google Drive on my phone so I can listen to the band practice recordings, I tried to down load the app, it was denied and directed me to the Google Play Store. The Joy Begins! Tried to download that app and it was buried in a bucket of sales insanity. Thanks, really needed this.

Seems Trump's comments about jailing Dem politicians is indeed "resonating" with rational Americans everywhere. Threats of prosecution, jail and more from a president are alarming. Alarming for the government and the nation as a whole. For Christmas I'd like us all to learn something from it.

The buzz is all about the bill that seeks the release of the Epstein files, whether Trump will sign it, and will what they release be "redacted" to hell and back to shield Trump. Like most bullies Trump is a coward, and will seek to avoid being held accountable for his actions. Expect the worst.

Seems the prosecution of James Comey has already come off the rails, no surprise, Trump's revenge game picked the wrong target in Comey, and then put interim U.S. attorney Lindsey Halligan on the case. She's made a mess of it, and narrowly avoided having the case thrown out of court.

Ladies! Stand proud for these survivors! Stand behind them, as we stand behind you and we are ready!

Gee... So much "respect' I can hardly stand it. Neither could the girls he raped.

As the shit hits the fan in coming days, as the Fascists get edgy about how their gradual coup is working, and as the Republicans scramble and try to find a way out t least we have Trump for senile "entertainment". And take pleasure knowing the behind the scenes insanity at the White House end.

I much prefer the second plan, and also I cannot stop laughing.

Seems like an amazing week is on hand as Trump circles the drain, while trying to take the rest of us with him. Cool! Big week for me as well, I play in a jazz band, but will likely join a country/rock band this week, the goal is to get out of the house, perhaps meet a woman, and make a few bucks.

I got rid of network news long ago, and have not bought a newspaper in decades. The truth is out there, but not in either of these sources.

So it seems Trump World has collapsed quickly, despite the best efforts of the far right media it now becomes apparent. Just like the first time at some point the true horror of Trump as president becomes much too real. Will we learn? Will this result in reforms designed to not let it happen again?

So on a lighter note went and saw a band at a casino last night, I was in search of a new gig, perhaps a little money and being on stage. Which is where I am meant to be. Not quitting the fusion jazz band, as that is the music I love, but this looks like it just may be fun.

A great start to say the least, and long over due!

I am an old musician and vocalist, currently I play in a fusion jazz band, my goal in life has been to play and sing on a stage. And stay there for a very long time. Tonight I'm going to see a band,most likely I will join them and go back to working as a musician. In old age it keeps me hangin' on.

So it seems the day approaches when the Epstein Files become public record, and all it took was years of effort, enumerable trips to assorted courts and no doubt a large pile of money. This is the result of letting politicians get away with an assortment of murders. And then there's the rich....

I admit it , I read "Will Ghislaine Maxwell Give Oral Testimony?" this morning and laughed unto excess.
