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!

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...

What is depleted uranium ammunition? How deadly shells tipped with dense metal can blast through tough tank armour

  • Depleted uranium is considerably less reactive than uranium in its natural form
  • It is used in tank shells to pierce through armour because it is incredibly dense

and now for something Completely Different. SE Said:
I had a great time at the Giants game last night. I always knew that a game between the Giants and Dodgers would be especially fun, and it certainly was. I was surprised how many Dodgers fans where there, though...both on the train and at the ballpark. It looked to be close to 50/50 Dodgers/Giants fans, but it's hard to say. Maybe 2/3 Giants and 1/3 Dodgers. But still, it was interesting being in a stadium where so much of the crowd was rooting for the opposing team. But everyone seemed to be having a great time, and that's what it's all about.
Our seats were fantastic! But we also spent a lot of time walking around, because there is so much to see at the ballpark. There were tons of people there, and sometimes the crowd was packed like sardines and moving along like a river. It was crazy being packed in with so many people, and I must admit, it made me a bit nervous since Covid numbers are going up again. I didn't take many pictures, but I did take a few of the view of the ballpark from different places around the stadium, and I also took a few pictures of the boats full of people sitting out in the bay next to the ballpark. I'll share those few photos in this post.
It ended up being a late night. We hung around the City for a while after the game, and we took the midnight train to San Jose - not to be confused with the midnight train to Georgia, or the midnight train going anywhere. 🤣🤣🤣 But the midnight train was completely full of both Giants and Dodgers fans. I heard some Dodgers fans saying that they had driven up from L.A. for the game. The train arrived back in San Jose at 1:30am, and it was nearly 2 by the time I got home. There was a time not too long ago when I was always wide awake and energetic at 2am, but these days I often have a hard time keeping my eyes open past 10pm. So this was definitely a late night for me, but well worth it.

and I Replied:
I watched the Game on TV... Kept on looking for you in videos of the Crowd... It was a Good Game... with some runs and a ball being hit into the WATER... and It floated!

History of the Vietnam War. 58,000 Americans Died for Nothing... Something They Don't Teach in School Now... "Too Controversial" -

During the 1950s Americans went into a Mad Panic about Communists taking over the world. We built thousands of Nuclear Missiles and Fallout Shelters. The US Congress had witch hunts (Joe McCarthy-HUAC) to expose "Commies" who worked in The Hollywood Movie business and blacklisted folksingers that were leading our young people astray with Labor Union Organizing songs. 

During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia. His theory was... if we did not prevent Vietnam from becoming Communist, one by one those countries over there would turn Commie and soon Commies would take over the Entire World and We Would be fighting them at Our Border With Mexico...  Communism Would threaten the American Way of Life Right Here at Home!

During the height of this hysteria Vice President Richard Nixon went on Television and explained "The Domino Principle" while pointing to a map of Asia.

Dominos was a Family Game popular before the invention of Computers and Video Games... Since "Everyone" Knew what they were... the US Government Named our Foreign Policy for that Game... Because It Made the Policy Easy to Understand...

President Eisenhower and Kennedy sent advisors to help the South Vietnamese soldiers fight the North Vietnamese soldiers.

Journalism: My Favorite Class in College. To Actually "BE" Woodward & Bernstein for a Semester. I Interviewed June Moxon & Went to an Earth First Tree Sit Eviction.

June is one of the Main People at the Kinetic Sculpture Race. She was Holding a Fundraiser Open House at the Kinetic Sculpture Laboratory and I Published my Interview BEFORE THE EVENT so Maybe Students That Read the Lumberjack Newspaper WERE MOTIVATED to buy a ticket and Go... My Article Might have Helped Finance the Event! and The RACE!


I Learned a Couple of things in that Class.

If You see Something and Say Something that's an "Opinion" Piece. If You Ask Three People What They Saw... That's a "News" Piece.

I Also Learned to Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE SENTENCE. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in ONE PARAGRAPH. Then, Say Everything You Have to Say in the Rest of the Article...

The Reader May decide that the Subject is NOT INTERESTING after One Sentence... and Move on to the Next Article... OR they May Read One Paragraph... and then Move on... RARELY do they Read More than That...

I took that Class because My Guidance Councillor said That The Lumberjack Newspaper was Going to Create an Online Edition and the Journalism Department Needed some Computer Experts to Help Them...

Dr. Hal Campbell Said: "This will be an excellent REAL WORLD Learning Experience. Someone Wants Something Done On the Computer... and You are Hired to Make it Happen."

I Always Interviewed People that Were GLAD to See Me... Like: "I'm a Reported for the Lumberjack Newspaper and I'm Writing a Story About What You Are Doing Because It's Interesting."

It is easy to find this Location to see what it's like today... Simply Turn into the Freshwater Valley from Old Arcata Road and Take the First LEFT at the School... Drive up the hill in the Dark Forest... When it gets Sunny All of a Sudden, Park... That's the Location of the Clearcut...

MY NEWSPAPER ARTICLE:
Tree Sit Ecology Protest at Freshwater, near Eureka, CA 2003 - Earth First! - Complete Text of a Newspaper Article I wrote for the Humboldt State University Lumberjack. and Photographs...

HEADLINE: 8 arrested March 18th in Freshwater tree-sit. Trees chainsawed to death.

Freshwater Clearcut Logging near Eureka, CA

This morning I drove to Beautiful Freshwater (near Eureka, California) to visit the Tree Sitters. There were 10 sheriff's cars and 5 highway patrol cars. I saw 3 people handcuffed and then put in a sheriff's van. One person down the road was handcuffed and in the custody of a different sheriff. This lady was wearing "press" dogtags and was complaining that all she was doing was taking photographs. There were about 40 people standing around, talking on cell phones and playing drums. I could hear the sound of chainsawing. Then a large tree fell over. It makes a tearing sound then a big thump and a wail arose from the people. When four highway patrol cars stopped in the middle of the crowd and turned on their spinning lights, I left.(I was afraid of the police...protect and serve...corporations) As I was walking to my truck I noticed another highway patrolman writing tickets. I asked a citizen what that was all about and he said "don't worry about getting a parking ticket, none of these people will pay them anyway". I am concerned about the highway patrol being there. THERE CLEARLY WERE NO HIGHWAY RELATED PROBLEMS THERE. What's up with parking tickets? We were in the middle of the forest.









...this part written later that night...
We went to a protest to defend redwood trees today. There are 8 people that are camping at the top of redwood trees to prevent loggers from chainsawing the trees. The owners of the forest (Palco/MAXXAM) hired a guy (eric schatz)to climb up the trees and forcibly evict the trespassers. Then the Humboldt county sheriff's arrest the tree-sitters and send them to jail. Yesterday, there were 7 tree sitters and the police arrested 3 people. Then, during the night, 4 people went up. The grand total of people INCREASED. The loggers started chainsawing at the bottom of a tree that had people camping in it. This action enraged the crowd. We feel that if a logger cuts down a tree with a person in it that it is dangerous to that person. The loggers cut away a 2 foot circle of bark all the way around the tree. Someone said that was called "girthing" and the purpose was to kill the tree. My wife decided that some medicine was needed for the tree, so we went to the hardware store and bought a bucket of "tree wound" compound. It is used to seal the bare wood after pruning. We drove back to the ecology protest and she (with help from others) spread the healing compound on the bare wood. I got to spend a lot of time talking to a knowledgeable fellow named "Atilla". He said that the MAXXAM corporation has to cut down redwood trees in order to pay the interest on a giant "junk bond" debt. MAXXAM, a texas corporation, purchased the Pacific Lumber Company about 10 years ago in a hostile takeover financed by "junk bonds" that they got from Mike Milken. (remember, Ivan Boesky and Mike went to jail for wall street fraud) I saw on the News tonight that our governor, Gray Davis, has ordered the highway patrol to work 12 hour shifts to help defend the state of California from "terrorist" attacks. GEE, WHY WERE ALL THOSE CHPs OUT IN THE FOREST TODAY ? WHAT TERRORIST ATTACKS WERE THEY DEFENDING US FROM ? Atilla also told me why there were large trucks that look like they carry sand. They are used to haul gravel to build logging roads. After I left the protest in the morning, I drove way back into the woods and noticed large orange trucks with PALCO on the doors. The reason Palco hired a subcontractor (eric schatz)to do "tree service" is to protect themselves from lawsuits in case anyone gets hurt.
How to get there: From highway 101 traveling North, Take the Myrtle ave exit in Eureka and drive to Freshwater road. Take a right and then an IMMEDIATE left onto Greenwood Heights road. Drive 2 miles. When you see all the sheriff cars, you are there. From Arcata, travel south on 101 to Indianola cutoff. Take a left and drive to Myrtle ave. Take a right on Myrtle. Left on Freshwater road.

Silly Story!
A Trump supporter was seated next to an older woman on an airplane and he turned to her and said, “Do you want to talk? Flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.”
The old woman, who had just started to read her book, replied to the total stranger,
“What would you want to talk about?”
“Oh, I don’t know,” said the man. “How about how they stole the election in 2020 and Donald Trump should be president.”
“Okay,” she said. “Those could be interesting topics but let me ask you a question first. A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass. Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, but a horse produces clumps. Why do you suppose that is?”
The man, visibly surprised by the old woman’s intelligence, thinks about it and says, “Hmmm, I have no idea.”
To which the old woman replies, “Do you really feel qualified to discuss politics, when you don’t know shit?”
