Clarity - I would change the last 2 words from Trump-Chumps to politicians and reporters.

It ain't about drugs. It never was.

Full Disclosure I don't trust politicians. They lie. Things will get much, much worse than they are now. Engaging in legal analysis is nonsensical. Our laws mean nothing. We're drowning in legal diarrhea now.

Trump is shaping the conversation in terms of Venezuela, and our news organizations are simply falling into line. Our politicians are all silent - avoiding public discourse. Trump is channeling Putin's justifications for invading Ukraine. Shame, shame, shame - Sham, sham, sham

Ralph Nader got it right. He was eloquent.

Let this sink in. Mull it over. Talk to others about it. Joe Biden appointed Merrick Garland as AG. Garland waited 2 years before he appointed Jack Smith. What would have happened had Biden appointed someone else as AG? What would have happened had Garland appointed Smith immediately?

@simmonsreyemn63.bsky.social The people running our oil industry contribute/bribe bigly politicians from both the Republican and Democratic parties. Let that sink in, then ask yourself why the Dems are silent about Trump's Venezuelan takeover.

I'm waiting to hear from Bill and George W and Barack and Joe on Trump's illegal war with Venezuela.

After what Trump has been allowed to get away with in Venezuela, I can assure you he has nothing to worry about in regard to the Epstein files. No one in this country is going to hold him accountable for anything. This is who we are now and voting ain't gonna change anything.

Trump is taking over Venezuela to enable our oil industry to take over Venezuela's oil industry. This has nothing to do with the Epstein scandal, even though it serves as yet another great distraction. We and the people of Mexico should all be very concerned. www.bbc.com/news/live/c5...

Trump just said that American oil companies will remake Venezuela's energy infrastructure and regain rights they once held to Venezuela’s vast oil reserves. It was never about fentanyl, now was it?

More reaction to Maduro’s “arrest”

Are any of our elected leaders anywhere going to protest Trump invading Venezuela without approval from Congress?

In the past several weeks 48 people have initiated chats with me. I didn't respond. 42 of those accounts have since been deleted. What's going on? I doubt someone would delete their account simply because I didn't respond to a chat. Anyone else experiencing this?

Bullies are often hated but not always confronted. People are afraid of being harmed. People who are intimidated by bullies wait for the day/the opportunity for payback. Sometimes they wait their entire lives without being able to give payback. Sometimes a single spark will ignite a perfect storm.

Putting it all into perspective - perfectly. This cartoon would be meaningless in any country other than the U.S.

If you wake up on a beach realizing that in 1 minute a tsunami is going to wipe away everything, what do you do? Please share your thoughts.

This what Obama should have done instead of the ACA. This is what many of his supporters believed he would do. Obama squandered his presidency.

I was going to analogize Merrick Garland by referencing "Casey at the Bat", I realized that was absurd. Nobody would ever describe Garland as "mighty".

Empathy and sharing are worthy paths to travel. Rights are legal concepts. Look where the Constitution has gotten us ...

Sometimes a song just pops into my head. Did you ever have that happen to you? Imagine if we all had the same song pop into our heads at the same time ... 77.3 million votes over the line sweet Jesus 77.3 million votes over the line Sitting home in a fascist nation 77.3 million votes over the line

I got an email from Milton Public Library this morning - my book was auto renewed. We have an art customer coming this morning. We're going to Sunny Bay Cafe for lunch. I'll be ordering avocado toast. On the way home we're stopping at Old World Breads and picking up 2 slices of maple walnut cake.

Grand Irony "We can vote our way out of this mess." Don't get me wrong. I vote and I encourage others to vote as well. I still say, "God bless you." when people sneeze.

Vast Wasteland "The Good Wife" is full of stereotypes. The writing is hackneyed. It's the ultimate social fetish - uniquely American. I would characterize it as farcical, dramatic vaudeville. If the writers strive for anything, it's snark. It ran from 2009-16. It transitioned us from W to Don.

Boundaries Kathy cannot imagine any circumstances in which she would ever make an omelet again - not even for a grandchild. Kathy can draw a hard line. I'm very sure I'll never go on a roof again. Zoey and Zach know when treats are due and present a united front in regard to treats and going out.

I don't go out that much. Deaths and relocations have isolated us. We haven't left DE in over 2 years. 3 places I go that never disappoint are: Milton Public Library Old World Breads in Lewes Sunny Bay Cafe in Rehoboth We're still able to maintain ourselves, home, and business.

A national strike could work. If everyone woke up and came to their senses that could work to. The last time I saw unity was when Obama ran. I see fatigue and anger and disgust now. I also see more hatred now.

The white boys that dominate our nations politics are basically the same regardless of party. Forget the rhetoric. Look at their actions both at home and abroad. Obama made the mistake of thinking he would ever be allowed in. He compromised himself because of that. They ate him alive.

When I was growing up, I didn't live in the same kind of bubble so many others did. I was secure and comfortable and totally ignorant of the fates of others. If everyone isn't afforded the same basic rights and opportunities regardless of what bubble they live in, then the myth of U.S. is fantasy.

Perfect movie to start the year with ... www.youtube.com/watch?v=nTeO...

We're all Tommy - raised to be deaf, dumb and blind to cover the sins/evils of our forefathers. No wonder "woke" scares the shite out of them. It's coming undone and they're frantic. 2026 ain't gonna be a good year - not even close. www.youtube.com/watch?v=yK-s...

You can't make a silk purse out of a sow's ear. The U.S. was conceived in lies. Our constitution was meant to protect slavery and their ain't enough lipstick to cover over this pig. Our chickens have finally come home to roost. The sham is coming into full focus. www.youtube.com/watch?v=cv4l...

This is what you call MINORITY RULE

The news has gone from reporting to entertainment. I knew it was getting bad when prominent newspeople started playing themselves in TV series and movies. This has been going on for decades.

Anybody know how much it costs just in weaponry to sink a small boat off the coast of Venezuela?

My final post for 2025.

Magical Thinking Lots of people know what the problems is. Very few know how to fix it. Most get lost in debates around doing things they have absolutely no control over.

Jack Smith: I believe we had proof beyond a reasonable doubt in both cases.
