ANSWER:

They are All TrumpNik® Swamp Creatures... Trumpanzees!

What Did Trump DO to Make Your Life Better? ANYTHING??? ANYTHING AT ALL??? Go Ahead... Name Something He Actually Accomplished... You CAN'T! He's a Total Failure...

Yes, tRUMP Signed the Help Crazy People Buy Guns Law... HJ RES 40... and Yes, He Signed the Tax Cut for the Rich Law... But Did Either of those Actions Make YOUR LIFE BETTER???





Remember: Trump Signed the Help Crazy People Buy Guns Law... HJ RES 40... and now we have a Madman Murder 18 People in Maine... Where the Laws are Tragic... Insane!

Top of Page: https://gvan42.blogspot.com/

https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-joint-resolution/40 If a person gets a Social Security Check due to INSANITY They No Longer have to Report That Fact on a Gun Purchase Background Check...

Why Don't We Repeal and Replace tRUMP's Tax Cut for the Rich Law? It's the Main Cause of the Federal Deficit! We Could Afford Nice things if Super Rich People Paid Taxes!

Trumpanzees are Doomed to Lose a Civil War. There are Plenty of Empty Jail Cells Just a Waiting for QuackAnon Freaks to Fill 'em UP. Even Empty Greene says: Stand Down Mindless Vegetables!
Maybe Going Insane to Protect Trump from Incarceration is NOT a Brilliant Plan! We arrested over a Thousand People when Trump Failed to Overthrow the USA and Crown Himself King on January 6th... LEARN FROM YOUR MISTAKES!


On January 6th Trump Failed to Overthrow the USA and Crown Himself King. THAT'S TREASON. Is the Punishment for that Crime Still Execution?

If We Put him in PRISON... That Would Send a Message to Future Madmen that Want to Crown Themselves King... DON'T DO THAT! You'll Lose and Get LOCKED Da F*CK UP! For Years...

IF You're Lucky... Maybe "Old Sparky" at Sing Sing is Waiting for YOU...

Why is Trump Popular? 

He IS Promising to Deport Non White People... That is a VERY Popular Promise... among White People... 

He IS promising to Take America Back to a Time BEFORE Women' Lib... BEFORE Gay Rights... BEFORE Civil Rights... That is a VERY Popular Promise... among Straight White Men...

He IS Promising to LOCK UP Democrats, RINOS and the Deep State! That is a VERY Popular Promise... among MAGA MORONS

Did You Notice that Last Week [October 2021] the US Government DEPORTED all those Refugees From Haiti... Sent 'em Right Back Where they Came From! Problem Solved! For Some CRAZY Reason, Trump Separated the Children from the Parents and Put 'em All in Cages... When He COULD Have Simply Flown the Immigrants to Central America... It Would Take them AT LEAST a Month To Walk North Again... 

On the Other Hand... The USA Would be Better Off if Texas Was a Foreign Country. The USA Spends a FORTUNE Fixing Texas's Failures... FEMA, Food Stamps, Welfare, Unemployment, TOXIC Waste Cleanup... CrazyLaws® - Courtroom Expenses about IF Roe V Wade is Really The Law in the USA... Courtroom Expenses about IF Voting is Legal... Texas is a Burden... 

Remember: The Last Time Texas DID Anything of VALUE was 1959 when Jack Kilby Invented the Integrated Circuit...  

I DO Like the Music of Willie Nelson... But The USA Let's Foreigners Tour the USA Often... 

It's QUITE Obvious that The Current Governor of Texas is a Mindless Vegetable... Greg Abbott SUXX... He Needs to GTFO!

I read the Wiki Page about Greg Abbott. He was Put in a Wheelchair at age 26 when a Branch from a Tree Fell on Him during a Storm. Broke his Back and He's Paralyzed from the Waist Down... 

That "Accident" Was Clearly an "Act of God" and God was Not Happy with Young Greg Abbott... 

He Is Married with No Children but they did adopt a Girl... I wonder if His "Accident" has anything to do with His STRANGE opinion about abortion... Could it Be That He Believes that any Man that Can Actually Impregnate a Woman Should Be Blessed With a Child... Even if It's Incest... or Rape...

and then On Faceborg... I Keep on seeing this False Meme... Someone Keeps on asking the Question: If Money is the Root of all Evil, Why do they as for it at Church? They Always FAIL to Include ALL the Words from the Original Quote... LOVE OF Money is the Root of All Evil... and The Reason they ask for it at Church is to Pay the Employees. Ministers, Gardeners, Cleaning Ladies and Carpenters. ALSO the Money is Used to Feed the POOR... I've Been Poor and was Glad to eat at the Jesus Center in Chico, CA - and at Food Not Bombs - and at the Salvation Army - It's Really Important to do a FACT CHECK before Reposting a Meme... 

Lyrics to the Pink Floyd Song "Money"

Money, get away
You get a good job with good pay and you're okay
Money, it's a gas
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash

A new car, caviar, four star daydream
Think I'll buy me a football team

Money, well, get back
I'm all right Jack, keep your hands off of my stack
Money, it's a hit
Don't give me that do goody good bullshit

I'm in the high-fidelity first class travelling set
You know, I think I need a Lear jet

Money, it's a crime
Share it fairly but don't take a slice of my pie
Money, so they say
Is the root of all evil today

But if you ask for a raise
It's no surprise that they're giving none away
Away, away
Away, away
Away, away
I was in the right
Yes, absolutely in the right
I certainly was in the right
You was definitely in the right, that geezer was cruising for a bruising
Why does anyone do anything?
I don't know, I was really drunk at the time
I was just telling him, he couldn't get into number two
He was asking why he wasn't coming up on freely
After I yelling and screaming and telling him why

On a Different Subject:

SE Posted on Faceborg:

A lot of people are talking about the fact that it's the 30-year anniversary of the Loma Prieta Earthquake, so I thought I'd share my own memories of that day.

I was 20 years old on October 17, 1989, and I remember it like it was yesterday. The epicenter was in Los Gatos, my hometown, and where I was still living in 1989 with my parents. I was working at Wherehouse Records at the time, which was a chain of record stores. I worked at the one at the corner of Prospect Road and Lawrence Expressway in West San Jose. I was in a back stock room, and the room started to shake, and cassette tapes started falling on my head. Earthquakes usually only last a split second, so it was really scary when the room didn't stop shaking...and soon I realized that it wasn't just cassette tapes falling on my head, it was part of the ceiling. I remember trying to call my parents, but all phone lines were down. It took me forever to get home because all of the traffic lights were out. My drive usually took 10 minutes, but it took 2 hours that day. There were no cell phones back then, of course, but all phone service was out. Los Gatos had no power or phone service for 3 days after that. The other thing I remember was that it was during a really big heatwave, with temperatures over 100. I remember the night of the quake, I went for a walk around Los Gatos with a neighbor friend of mine, because what else could we do for fun with no power? We walked around Los Gatos and checked out all of the damage, and I remember it was super HOT. I remember the next morning, I went jogging on my usual route, along Highway 9 and down Quito Road, where I was able to see the damage to many of the beautiful homes in that area. I don't remember much more detail over the next 3 days while the power was still out. I remember I went to work the next day and helped clean up the mess in the dark, for no pay, and somehow I still ended up getting fired soon afterwards, and I always resented that even though I went on to get a job at Tower Records soon afterwards. I also remember that when phone service came back on 3 days later, the first person who called was my cousin Miranda, who, sadly, is no longer with us. I also remember my parents' china cabinet had come crashing to the floor, destroying everything that was displayed inside of it. After that, my dad bolted everything to the wall, and it's bolted to the wall to this day.

I replied:

I was in Washington DC but my Father was at Home in Los Gatos. He said: We had a Rechargeable Flashlight plugged into the wall of the House for years where it would be easy to find in the dark... and that Flashlight worked for ONE DAY... but You couldn't recharge it in the wall because the power was out. He Said: LEARN! Get a Flashlight with Alkaline Batteries for an emergency.

Faraday Cage - not a Conspiracy Theory - real science

Of Course, "Havana Syndrome" is "Supposedly" Caused by Microwaves... and a FARADAY CAGE like the one shown in the Photo would BLOCK MICROWAVES... But Don't let Actual Science prevent you from mocking people... go right ahead... You didn't work for the Military in the 1970s like I Did... where we built computers that met the specifications of Project TEMPEST... 25 Years Later the NSA Declassified that project... EMI/RFI Shielding... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tempest_(codename)

"Studies" Keep People Employed... If they can't get a Real Job Like a Carpenter, Nurse or a Computer programmer... they Do "Studies" that Conclude exactly what their Sponsors Want them to Conclude... For Example: The Heritage Foundation Studies Always Conclude that we should give the rich more money... and the Electoral College is Brilliant... because we get such Geniuses and Bush the Son and tRUMP... People that the VOTERS REJECTED!

I used the blender in the Kitchen to grind up my Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seeds... They contain LSA... which is similar to LSD but not as strong... but if you just swallow the seeds whole they are not as potent as when ground up to a fine powder... and they give me a bellyache... so... I Got "Seeded" that time I went to the Washington Monument to Hear the Beach Boys with Jimmy Page and Joan Jett... and the Fireworks... and 500,000 other people went too...

Remember to Never Eat the Heavenly Blue Morning Glory Seeds that have a RED POWDER on them... The Seed Corporation PUTS A POISON on the seeds to prevent Kids from Getting High... Years Ago the Northrop King Brand was BAD and the Ferry Morse was GOOD... I Don't Know What they are Doing Now... DO NOT EXPECT To Rinse Away the Poison... Just Plant the Seeds and Enjoy the Pretty Flowers...

a Friend Said... He Bought a Subscription to the Adobe Creative Cloud, $52.99/month. I had NO IDEA Adobe Was So Expensive! I refuse to do any business with them because... My Wife Bought Me Adobe Photoshop on a Disc, and It works great on my HP Computer Running VISTA but... She Bought me a Toshiba Laptop with Windows 10 and it does not work on Windows 10... NOT BACKWARDS COMPATIBLE... So I Use GIMP and Paint Dot Net... I think it's Microsoft's Fault That Windows 10 Doesn't Run Old Programs... Whatever... FYI: The FBI uses 300 Dots per inch for their Archive Vault... I was Looking at the PDF File on TESLA...

I Lost My Job to a Computer. I was a Pencil and Paper Draftsman doing Engineering Drawings... and Then CAD was invented and they could hire people for HALF MY HOURLY SALARY to Draw all the Drawing using a Computer... I did draw using a Computer for One Year using the CADAM Program... Got Laid Off... When I went to The Employment Agency, All Jobs Required One Year Work Experience using the AUTOCAD Program... I Never Worked Again... 

On Facebook, CS Replied: I learned pencil drafting in high school. Cad began about the time I graduated from HS. I like the class and the activity but I wasn’t neat enough in my work to attempt it as a job. There were many much better than I. Sounds like you were one.

And I Said... YES... I Rode That Horse for Twelve Years... In 1976 I Started at System Industries in Santa Clara. We designed Computers used by Hospitals to Store the Patient's Records... "Their Chart" - and Just last week I Got an Email of The Results from my Doctor's Office Blood Tests... It's Great that The entire industry has gone digital... 66 Tests! 63 of them were GREEN=GOOD and Three were RED=BAD... but of those Three, NO ACTION REQUIRED... Pre-Diabetes... and I've Known that for 5 Years... and Eat a Sugar Free Diet... 

Using a Computer to Store Medical Information is a Fundamentally VALID Idea... When I Got MY Results in Email... I Thought... HEY! I Made a Difference! My Life's Work Has Been Justified! For DECADES The System DID NOT WORK Because HIPPA Laws Prevents The Computers from ACTUALLY BEING USED but we have Solved the Security Problem...

Education is the Key to Legalization of Psychedelics. Why Not Stop Believing Government Lies and Think for Yourself? For Safety, Legalize and Have Quality, Purity and Dosage Regulated by the Food and Drug Administration... Gee, That's a Smart Approach!

Currently, Criminals Make Illegal Psychedelics and Often They are of Bad Quality, Unknown Purity and Dangerous to the Consumer. 

Please Write to Your Senators and Representatives in Congress Demanding that they BREAK FREE FROM THE SLAVERY TO BIG PHARMA... Legalize Psychedelics... Let Doctors and Patients Decide for themselves What's Best!

Did You Ever Question WHY LSD Was Made Illegal in 1966?

Well, The Older Generation wanted the Younger Generation to OBEY... TO DO WHAT THEY WERE TOLD TO DO... Mainly, Go to Vietnam and Murder People for No Reason... The Adults, and Their Corporate Masters were Making a Profit off the Sale of Napalm, Agent Orange and Helicopters... and In Order to Increase Sales, BOGUSWARS® Were Invented... "Fight COMMIES!" Danger-Danger Aliens!

Young People That Had Had The Psychedelic Experience REJECTED Murder for Corporate Profit... After All, Once One Has Experienced the Oneness of The Universe, Killing Does Not Seem Like a Brilliant Idea... Maybe a Better Plan for Life Would be to LOVE One Another... YA THINK? 

And so The California Government Passed a Law Making LSD Illegal...  ALSO... The "War on Drugs" was a Convenient way to Arrest Troublemakers... People That Loudly Opposed the Old Ways of Thinking... For Example: John Lennon, Timothy Leary and Ken Kesey were all Incarcerated for Marijuana... CRAZYLAWS® Were Used to Lock up Blacks, Mexicans and Hippies... To Keep Them Under Control... 

And here we are in 2020... Baby Boomers are Facing Death and Psychedelics Help Face That Fear... Doctors and Patients All Over the World are Exploring Psychedelic Therapy...

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal,[Except Blacks and Women] that they are endowed by their Creator [Named Jesus, Allah, Yahweh, Odin, Thor, KRSNA, Buddha or a Thousand Other Names] with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness.”[Unless your Pursuit uses Marijuana or Psychedelics as a Sacrament] - DANG... So Many Disclaimers... Was This Written by a Freaking Lawyer?

The Era Of Hatred is Ending. I Plan to Put Some Effort into Forgiving People That Believe The Exact Opposite of What I Believe. They are Just Confused and Educating Them Would Make the World a Better Place to Live. Help Them Break The Chains of The Trump Brainwashing Cult.

Hey TrumpNiks, Free Yourself... Life Will Become Better! Try Noticing Reality for ONE WEEK and If It Doesn't Help, You Can Always Go Back To Believing Lies!

Here is How To Become Aware! 

You Can Do This Anytime, Anyplace... 

WHY NOT NOW?

Look around you.

Find 5 Things you can See.

4 things you can Touch.

3 things you can Hear.

2 things you can Smell.

1 thing you can Taste.

WAKE UP!

Remember: Since 1945, The US Military Has Never Defended The USA. Not Even Once. Ever Since Victory over Japan, Every War Has Been a BOGUS Marketing Trick Designed to Sell Weapons for the Military Industrial Complex.

With Marijuana Legal, California is Closing Unused Prisons. Saving Taxpayers a Fortune... By Getting a Clue, Lawmakers have Increased Voluntary Taxes while Saving Money wasted on Law Enforcement... Everybody Wins!

and I Don't Pay a Penny in Weed Taxes because I Don't Smoke! 

SEE? Every Day the World Becomes a Better Place to Live... Can You Imagine That Bribed Lawmakers Actually Made Magic Mushrooms Illegal... WTF? 

Ongoing research shows that psilocybin could help treat certain medical conditions, including post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and addiction...

50th anniversary of the Summer of Love... The Diggers, Haight Ashbury, LSD and the Grateful Dead. It certainly has been a Long Strange Trip. Congratulations to all those of us who have survived... One thing is for certain...

The culture of the United States was 

radically different After the 1960's... 

The conformism of the 1950's was blown away when LSD became widely available. Owsley made the chemical and made it available at Acid Tests with Ken Kesey and the Grateful Dead. He also gave it to the Beatles for their Magical Mystery Tour. The spirit lives on in a yearly camping trip called The Rainbow Gathering. It's like Woodstock but the performers are not paid and I'm in the Band.

Buying Used Stuff at Thrift Stores DOES NOT CAUSE ECOLOGICAL DAMAGE Like Buying New Stuff Does. When You Buy a New Product, the Corporation Has to Replace It.

They Mine Raw Materials, grow plants (like cotton) using pesticides and herbicides, Log Forests, Employ Slave Laborers in the Orient, Burn Gasoline Shipping the Plastic Crap Here From China... and on and on and on... Used Products ALREADY EXIST and so Buying Stuff at The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop (my local store) does NOT Harm the Planet. Actually, They Hire Local People to Work as Clerks and Do Delivery. We Bought ALL our Living Room Furniture there. Three Chairs and a Sofa... and Men Delivered It Upstairs in Our Home. NO WAY could I Move those Heavy Objects Up That Staircase... I Tipped those Guys $10 Each... and they were really Thankful. Yes, I Could Have Spent a Fortune at Sears or KMART but... I Prefer to Keep The Money IN MY WALLET. I Like Employing Guys That Live At The Rescue Mission. The Mission Does Good Work Here in Eureka and I've Met a LOT of Real People That They Help. I did buy new Beds at Sears. Somehow, those were just too Personal to Buy Used... also, I Do Not Buy Used Underwear... BUT, Clothes? YES! It's actually fun to find thrift stores in Super Rich Neighborhoods and Live Like the TV Show "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous..." A Great Place to Shop is North Shore Lake Tahoe... Snow Bunnies often Donate Extra Stuff When the Season is Over... and There is Also DUMPSTER DIVING in College Towns at the End of the School Year... FREE STUFF! 

Oddly, I Expressed These Opinions during a Group Discussion at an Ecology Class at Humboldt State University and ALL THE OTHER STUDENTS SAID I WAS WRONG... They said that Used Stuff Still Requires Ecological Damage to Exist at All... I tried to explain that the Manufacturing Damage Happened IN THE PAST and it is impossible to Change History but Buying New Stuff CAUSES Purchasing Agents at Corporations to Hire People to Create New Stuff IN THE FUTURE to Fill the Shelves At The Store. No One Grasped the Concept. But I Did Make The Other Students Think. and That's a Good Thing. It's a difficult concept... I Wish I Could Explain it in a Shorter Sentence... Maybe YOU can Re-Write the Concept Better and Post it in the Comments Section... Thanks!

Remember: There are Two Ways to Get Everything You Want. Get More or Want Less. and... You Can Get More Stuff Per Dollar At The Eureka Rescue Mission Thrift Shop... or Your Own Store... Did You Know that There is a Fashion "Thing" where Corporations PRE-RIP Clothes? Intentionally Making Them LOOK USED! Really! They Hire People to Rub Jeans over Rough Surfaces to SIMULATE Wear and Tear of Normal Use... I'm Not Making This UP! All the Pathetic Dupes are Wearing Clothes Like That! On My Own Webstore... I Offer Hats that have been "Distressed" to look like they are Old... It's an Option... I wish I could write a Mocking Slogan Poking Fun at this Fashion Trend... Then I Could Sell a Hat with That Saying... Sort of like the Question: "Can You Imagine a World Without Hypothetical Situations?" or The Page that says: "This Page Is Left Blank Intentionally." A Cosmic Haiku Slogan... I do sell a Hat that says "PRESS" so people can wear it at Protest Marches and Avoid Being Bashed on the Head By The Police... I Do Not Really Know if It REALLY Helps Avoid Police Violence... I Do Know That People Made T-Shirts Saying "Backstage Pass - Shoreline Ampetheater - Bill Graham Productions" and Used them to sneak past Security Guards... I admire the Guy that Made a Sign that Says "This is a Sign." Was That Absurdist Theater or End Times Warning?

"Life is More Complex than a Slogan on a Hat."
