Sadly, There are People That Watch Tucker... and are Motivated to Actually DO What He Tells Them to DO... Notice the One Thousand Trumpanzees that were Arrested for Trump's Failed Attempt to Overthrow the US Government and Crown Himself King... What a Huge Pile of Suckers and Losers... I just read that "Proud Boys" Got 10 to 18 Years in Prison... Will those GUN NUTS be Upset That Trump Brainwashed Them and then Abandoned them to "Take the Fall" while Trump Escapes Punishment?
and then I read on FaceBorg:
This is a really sad day. First, Jimmy Buffett passes. Nothing could be sadder than that.
Then yesterday taking my shortcut from old Loganville Road to Brushy, Fork, see that unscrupulous builders, have clear-cut acres and acres of pristine woods without regard to the environment, the animals who live there, or anything else other than greed. Just a huge ugly scar so that they can build cheap track housing that looks exactly like army barracks. Acres and acres of very unattractive cheaply built homes with no basements, no yards to speak of, and no trees. Each house is painted the same ugly brown color. The prices are incredibly inflated. I don’t know how in the world this gets past the county. . .
That area is so over-built now it’s ridiculous. Not a damn tree in site. I don’t care if you want to build ugly cheap houses, but do you really have to rape the earth to do it? I am furious.

Climate Change Statement:
“Despite all attempts to deny, conceal, gloss over or relativize the issue, the signs of climate change are here and increasingly evident. No one can ignore the fact that in recent years we have witnessed extreme weather phenomena, frequent periods of unusual heat, drought and other cries of protest,” he wrote.
Climate change will likely only get worse and ignoring it will heighten “the probability of extreme phenomena that are increasingly frequent and intense,” he wrote.
The pope paid particular attention to the disproportionate responsibility of rich countries for climate change.
“If we consider that emissions per individual in the United States are about two times greater than those of individuals living in China, and about seven times greater than the average of the poorest countries, we can state that a broad change in the irresponsible lifestyle connected with the Western model would have a significant long-term impact,” he wrote.

Donald Trump’s multiple crimes are encouraged and covered up by an organization of criminals—MAGA Republicans are trying to replace America’s Constitutional Republic with Trump’s Fascist Christian White-Supremacist Kleptocracy. Donald Trump and each of his co-conspirators—his complicit lawyers, former members of his cabinet and staff, members of Congress, and members of his family--must be prosecuted, convicted, and sent to prison for multiple crimes--including Perjury, Obstruction of Justice, Seditious Conspiracy, and Espionage.
BILLY JONES WILDCAT RAILROAD. Los Gatos.
During the war year of 1943, Billy Jones, a Southern Pacific railroad engineer, opened an 18-inch gauge railway in the southern San Francisco peninsular town of Los Gatos.
The Billy Jones’ “Wildcat Railroad” featured a miniature live steamer from the Los Angeles area (Venice), the Ocean Park and Playa del Rey Railroad. Jones acquired some PPIE Overfair passenger cars and modified their tracks for the “Wildcat” operation.
The 1915 San Francisco PPIE had a miniature steam railroad, called the Overfair Railway, that ran along the Marina between Fort Mason and the Presidio. A 10 cent fare provided transportation to the Polo Field, State / Foreign buildings, Calif. Building, Exhibit Palaces, Yacht Harbor, and The Zone. The design of the 1/3 scale locomotives was based on the Pacific type locomotive, which would have taken tourists to the San Francisco PPIE in 1915.
Following the PPIE, Louis MacDermot took his locomotives back to his estate in Oakland. Later, MacDermot found a new home for his trains at what is now known as the Oakland Zoo. In 1943, they all moved to Billy Jones' ranch in Los Gatos. After Billy Jones died in 1968, his railroad moved to Vasona Park and the remaining Overfair locomotives went to the Calistoga Steam Railroad.
When the Calistoga Steam Railroad closed, Al Smith, president of Orchard Supply Hardware and railroad enthusiast, bought the trains, along with a turntable, and took them to his 3200-acre ranch in Swanton, just north of Santa Cruz. With the help of many volunteers, the Swanton Pacific Railroad was built. More of the Overfair Railway made its way to the Swanton Pacific Railroad and cars to Billy Jones Wildcat Railroad in Vasona Park.
Al Smith also donated one incomplete Overfair Railway locomotive to Calif. State Railroad Museum in Sacramento where it was rebuilt and is now on display in the lobby of the museum. Since 1995, all of the Overfair Railway locomotives that ever ran at the Panama Pacific International Exhibition in San Francisco, are now at Swanton Pacific Ranch.
(Photo shows Walt Disney & Billy Jones becoming friends as they discuss narrow-gauge steam operation ideas for Walt Disney's upcoming grand opening of Disneyland Anaheim 1955).
An update…Al Smith’s Swanton Ranch suffered a devastating wildfire 3 years ago as part of the CZU Lightning Complex Fire. ALL of the on-site historic Overfair equipment was severely damaged. The ranch’s owner, Cal Poly whom received the ranch and railroad as a donation from Smith before his death, chose not to rebuild the railroad and seek an ownership transfer. In early July, it was announced the railroad is going to be moved to Santa Margarita where it’s new owner is committed to rebuilding the equipment. A new volunteer organization, the Overfair Pacific Railroad Society has been formed to support the new owner. The first loads of Overfair equipment left Swanton in the past couple of weeks.

“I am in shock that a lawyer stood in the U.S. Supreme Court and said that a president could assassinate his political opponent and it would be immune as ‘an official act,’” lawyer Marc Elias, whose firm defends democratic election laws, wrote today on social media. He added: “I am in despair that several Justices seemed to think this answer made perfect sense.”
Elias was referring to the argument of Trump’s lawyer before the Supreme Court today that it could indeed be an “official act” for which a president should be immune from criminal prosecution if “the president decides that his rival is a corrupt person and he orders the military or orders someone to assassinate him.”
The Supreme Court today heard close to three hours of oral argument over Trump v. United States, which concerns former president Trump’s claim of absolute immunity from criminal charges for “official acts”: in this case, his attempt to overturn the lawful results of the 2020 presidential election and to stay in office against the will of the voters.
That is, like the authoritarian leaders he admires, Trump tried to steal the 2020 presidential election and seize the presidency. Sometimes I worry that the enormity of that crime against our democracy is becoming normalized.
It was not normalized by grand jury members who reviewed the evidence of that effort; they indicted Trump in August 2023 on four counts. But Trump responded by claiming that a president cannot be prosecuted for official acts and that a former president cannot be prosecuted unless the House of Representatives has impeached him and the Senate convicted him.
Justice Clarence Thomas, whose wife, Ginni, participated in that effort, did not recuse himself from today’s hearing, and the court did not object to his presence.
Ruth Marcus of the Washington Post noted that the justices on the court seemed to be weighing “which poses the greater risk—putting a criminal president above the law or hamstringing noncriminal presidents with the risk of frivolous or vindictive prosecutions brought by their successors.”
The liberals on the court focused on the former—after all, the case is about whether Trump should answer to criminal indictments for trying to overturn our democracy. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson noted: “If someone with those kinds of powers, the most powerful person in the world with the greatest amount of authority, could go into office knowing that there would be no potential penalty for committing crimes, I’m trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into, you know, the seat of criminal activity in this country.”
In contrast, the right-wing justices focused on the risk of vindictive prosecutions, which has been the heart of Trump’s argument for complete immunity. Trump insists that without immunity, a president will be afraid to make controversial decisions out of fear of later prosecution. Such a lack of immunity would destroy the presidency, he has argued, claiming that he is simply trying to protect the office.
And yet he is the first of 45 presidents to be charged with a crime, and no previous president made any claim of immunity.
Nonetheless, the right-wing justices made it clear they were more interested in the future than in the present. In their comments they stayed far away from Trump and focused instead on presidents in the past and the future. (Conservative judge J. Michael Luttig noted: “The Court and the parties discussed everything but the specific question presented.”)
Justice Neil Gorsuch said: “I’m not concerned about this case, but I am concerned about future uses of the criminal law to target political opponents based on accusations about their motives.” Justice Samuel Alito tried to turn the argument for accountability upside down by suggesting that complete immunity would be more likely to encourage presidents to leave office, because if a president knew they could be prosecuted for crimes, they would be less likely to leave peacefully.
Indeed, Marcus wrote: “The conservative justices’ professed concerns over the implications of their rulings for imaginary future presidents, in imaginary future proceedings, seemed more important to them than bringing Trump to justice.” Constitutional law professor Anthony Michael Kreis was more concrete in his reaction; he found it “[u]nbelievable that Supreme Court justices who see forgiving student loans, mandating vaccines, and regulating climate change as a slippery slope toward tyranny were not clear-eyed on questions of whether a president could execute citizens or stage a coup without being prosecuted.”
The court’s decision will likely take weeks and thus will delay Trump’s trial for crimes committed in his attempt to overturn the results of the 2020 election, likely until after the 2024 election. On Monday, April 22, former representative Liz Cheney (R-WY), who served as vice chair of the House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the U.S. Capitol, called out Trump’s attacks on the legal system and delays to avoid accountability. In a New York Times op-ed, Cheney reminded the justices that delay would mean that the American people would not get to hear the testimony and evidence Special Counsel Jack Smith has uncovered before the 2024 election.
“It cannot be that a president of the United States can attempt to steal an election and seize power but our justice system is incapable of bringing him to trial before the next election four years later,” she wrote.
And yet, here we are.
Voters’ right to know what a candidate for president did to overthrow the will of the people in a previous election is at stake in today’s arguments. But so is the rule of law on which our democracy stands. The rule of law means that laws are made according to established procedures rather than a leader’s dictates, and that they are reasonable. Laws are enforced equally. No one is above the law, and everyone has an obligation to obey the law.
As Justice Elena Kagan noted today: “The framers did not put an immunity clause into the Constitution. They knew how to; there were immunity clauses in some state constitutions. They didn’t provide immunity to the president. And, you know—not so surprising—they were reacting against a monarch who claimed to be above the law. Wasn’t the whole point that the president was not a monarch and the president was not supposed to be above the law?”
Indeed.
“[W]here, say some, is the King of America?” Thomas Paine wrote in Common Sense, the 1776 pamphlet that convinced British colonists in North America to cut ties with their king and start a new nation. “[I]n America the law is king. For as in absolute governments the King is law, so in free countries the law ought to be king; and there ought to be no other.”
and I replied:
