The 2024 Election is Most Important in my Lifetime. If Trump Wins he will Outlaw Elections and Crown Himself KING... Then he will take Revenge against everyone that Opposed him... Arresting about a Thousand People... and He'll grant a Pardon for All the January 6th Insurrectionists... and Basically Make Crime Legal for "REAL" Republicans... but he'll still Lock Up all "RINOS" and Democrats... He'll Replace Everyone in the DOJ and the IRS with Trumpanzees... Making Cheating on your Taxes Legal for Rich People... He'll Shut Down the EPA and Make Pollution by Corporations Legal...
and He will Declare The Entire USA Bankrupt so We Won't Have to Pay the Interest on the National Debt. and That will Cause Global Economic Collapse... and Starvation of Billions of People... The Only People that will Survive are Hunter/Gatherers and Subsistence Farmers. If you get your food at a Grocery Store... How will you eat when all the Trucks Run Out of Gas?

The MAGA Republicans are desperate. They tried for years to tie Joe Biden to his son's business dealings and found nothing. It's all a distraction from the indictments against the Trump mob, all led by Trump himself!
In all my years I’ve never witnessed a more corrupt Republican Party. So much hate and revenge. Horrible example for our country and they will be known as the worst group ever. Making fools of themselves. Vote Blue all the way. We must make a statement because our democracy depends on it. This is where we make America great again. 
They are just trying to take trump out of the news. But next the republicans who yells to take money away from the DOJ. That will include Hunter’s case too. It has been awhile since I last heard about taking money for the DOJ because the repubs wanted to make it hard for the DOJ to take action on trump.
There should always be concern for those we include in our associations, That was one of the primary methods used by the FBI in their COINTELPRO operations to destroy the American Indian Movement *AIM* and the Black Panther Party for Self Defense in the 1960s & 1970s. But one of the ways that agent provocateur technique functions is not only to instigate ineffective actions, but, and this is primary in the method, to cause the members of the organization to question the effective operatives within their organization. The only effective method I know of to combat either destructive function is to take something of a *wait & see* stance where we judge the individual and his/her actions by the fruit they bear.
I guess that idea just slapped them in the face.
Hakeem Jeffries will hopefully sing the same song.
Republicans still try to ignore the fact that Trump is quite guilty; it is as frustrating as can be!
He is ON TAPE saying Raffensperger might be prosecuted if he did not help find some more trump votes. That is so clearly using an illegal form of extortion to solicit a criminal behavior!
Donnie boy then set up FAKE DELEGATES!!
Otherwise it's SO completely insane and absurd!

Trump is actually threatening violence over a poll that voters said he’s not mentally fit to be president. Here should be enough to put a gag order on trump. He’s signaling his supporters to go after the Wall Street journal for reporting the poll and Biden. Who knows why he put Biden in there. Anyone with a brain can see he’s a dangerous unstable corrupt conman
“challenge” to Murdoch, Murdoch’s sons, Biden, and various Wall Street Journal brass—the terms of which Trump stipulated in a second post, writing: “I will name the place and the test, and it will be a tough one. Nobody will come even close to me! We can also throw some physical activity into it. I just won the Senior Club Championship at a big golf club, with many very good players. To do so you need strength, accuracy, touch and, above all, mental toughness. Ask Bret Baier (Fox), a very good golfer.”
The weight of the baggage we carry will be defined by how much we allow to move through us. When Don Miguel Ruiz said, "Don't take anything personally" in his book, "The Four Agreements", he understood. We are collectors of so much that does not serve us. The comments, slights or judgments of others are carried with us reverberating in places that need not matter. As I have often said, "Do not be baited by someone else's mind".
When we first see this photo, we might immediately focus on what is missing. Perhaps perceiving that he is not a whole person. However, I noticed what was present in him. The ability to allow the flow of our life to move through us can lighten our spirit. Like clouds moving effortlessly through the sky of our heart, we can release the stories which no longer matter. Zen Master Seungsahn came into the meditation hall telling us, "Only keep don't know mind". When we empty ourselves of the accumulated story of who we think we are, we are empowered to be whoever we chose in any moment. Ram Dass powerfully and poignantly shares these truths in the film "Becoming Nobody".
I did not know there was a photographer, father or writer in me. Most importantly, I did not cling to the belief that there wasn't. When we allow the definitions of ourselves to move through us, we open the door to our freedom. Naturally, we take comfort in the security of who we have been. I am not advocating amnesia. We are talking about birthing whatever arises as most authentic. When we allow the shadows of the past to be released, we can steep in the light of our creative energy.
What is the baggage you still carry? Can you place it down? It is ok to say goodbye to that which no longer aligns with our truth. In the end, all bags will be checked at the door. As we open to our evolving self, we ignite our possibilities. Perhaps we retrieve the flame of what once sparked our soul. Do not allow yours to be blown out by resignation. Let the story that you cannot be this or that transform into how you will.

Have you ever given any thought to all the knowledge you will never directly know for yourself? So much of the knowledge we possess is made available to us, like for example: the theory of Gravity. We know there is a theory, but how many of us can do the maths? Or, how fast is the speed of light? 186,000MPS. (A very old memory). But have we done the work to know for our selves?
I wonder how often this kind of "off the peg" knowledge is taken for granted, and how often the fact that we just don't have time or perhaps the ability to work out or research everything for ourselves is taken advantage of by politicians and advertisers?
Just a thought.
This is a new low in House Republicans’ failure to govern. Instead of doing anything to address rising housing costs, raise the minimum wage, tackle child poverty or address the opioid crisis, Republicans have threatened to the plunge the nation into default and are now once again pushing the government to the brink of a shutdown. It’s no wonder this Congress has been the least productive in decades.
Their only goal, it seems, is pleasing their master—the disgraced, twice impeached, four times indicted former President currently facing 91 state and federal criminal charges. This is an unprecedented crime spree, from endangering national security by illegally keeping classified documents, to conspiring to subvert the U.S. Constitution and lying to federal investigators.
Instead of even attempting to govern, Speaker Kevin McCarthy and Republicans have done everything in their power to run interference for the disgraced former President. They have turned the United States House of Representatives into a vindictive political campaign arm of Donald Trump.
Now Donald Trump and the most extreme members of the MAGA Caucus are pushing a government shutdown if they don’t impeach the sitting President—despite zero evidence to justify such an inquiry. Republicans have already wasted months on a fishing expedition to tie President Biden to the wrongdoing of his adult son, and it has failed. Despite thousands of pages of bank records and hours and hours of testimony, they have failed to produce a shred of evidence of any wrongdoing by President Biden.
And the hypocrisy almost takes your breath away. Kevin McCarthy has repeatedly said you cannot start an impeachment inquiry without a full vote of the House—and even introduced a resolution that condemns an impeachment inquiry without a House vote as an ‘abuse of power’ that ‘brings discredit to the House’ and ‘undermines the voting privileges afforded to each Member and the constituents they represent.’ Yet that is exactly what Kevin McCarthy is doing today. Why? Because he knows impeachment is too extreme to pass the House—even with the Republican majority.
Last Congress, the majority of House Republicans voted to overturn the Presidential election results—supporting the violent insurrectionists who threatened our lives and democracy itself. Now they are disgracing this institution once more, abusing the power vested in us by the Constitution to campaign for a criminal.
