Pro Trump Protests Fail to Happen in New York. "Where IS Everybody?" Today Is Boogaloo Tuesday, Isn't It? Prod Boys, Oath Breakers Do Not Show Up! Empty Greene Briefly Shouts at Reporters Then Runs Away!

Attention Freak Empty Greene Gets Her 15 Minutes of Fame as Cameras are Pointed At Her...
Rejected by its voters, ostracized by its protesters and now rebuked by its jurors, the people of New York have one more thing on which to splash Trump’s name: Indictment No. 71543-23.
“He wanted to be in Manhattan. He loved Manhattan. He had a connection to Manhattan,” says Barbara Res, a longtime employee of the former president who was a vice president at the Trump Organization. “I don’t know that he has accepted it and I don’t know that he believes it, but New York turned on him.”

Former President Donald Trump’s calls for protests ahead of his anticipated indictment in New York have generated mostly muted reactions from supporters, with even some of his most ardent loyalists dismissing the idea as a waste of time or a law enforcement trap.

Why Did Elon Musk Change the Twitter Logo to the Dogecoin Cryptocurrency Meme? To Boost Value of the Crypto Currency and Make Money... SEC? You Listening? 

Billionaire was named in lawsuit filed last year accusing him of racketeering over his promotion of Dogecoin... 

and then on FaceBorg James Dotson Said:
The goal of every Republican today is to never wake up. They intentionally decided to live in their own world when they elected “Supply-Side/Trickle-Down, Me-First/America-First Reagan”. They have stayed there for forty+ years.
This is not the world of Lincoln and Eisenhower. Republicans now live in the world of “Confederate and Nazi MAGA flags in the Capital.” And after forty+ years, they achieved it.
All of us let it happen again.
(As Walt Disney did for children, Reagan created a “land” for Republican constituents when he said in his 1981 Inaugural address: “In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.”
And ever since, everyone who doesn’t vote Republican, has been “The Problem” (in the same way the Nazis decided every Jew in the world is “The Problem”.)
There is a reason this Party chose their Confederate and Nazi MAGA flags to represent them. They represent where they are in comparison to “Back Lives Matter Lincoln”, and “Progressively Tax Wealth and Greed Eisenhower”. (On Insurrection day, they publicly negated the legacies of the both he first and last authentic Republican presidents simultaneously, for the whole world to witness.)
By remaining Republican to elect Ronald Reagan and his proclamation, and to grant Donald Trump two exonerations (before and after the planned armed-insurrection), every Republican has now formally declared themselves in collusion with the Jan 6 insurrection.
There has been no precedent in American history. No other Party, administration, or president has done such a thing. Today’s RINO Party put an end to America’s peaceful transfer of power, with a planned, armed, domestic incursion in our Capital on Jan 6 2021 and has made it another day that will live in infamy.
(FYI: the authentic Republicans did the honorable thing when Reagan’s nomination for president was announced.). “Too late woke” Liz Cheney, and Adam Kinzinger are correct: Today’s Republicans are “without honor.”
The last opportunity for claiming any modicum of honor, occurred when Republicans participated in declaring their president’s first exoneration, that formally pre-approved his planning and implementation of America’s first armed domestic insurrection.
(The second exoneration formally confirmed every Republican’s approval; and publicly rewarded Trump for his activities on behalf of every remaining Republican in America.)
Hence, the goal of every Republican is, “to never wake up.”

American History: The Humboldt County Timber Wars... A Hostile Takeover of Pacific Lumber Company and The Extreme Logging of Old Growth Redwoods in Northern California. MAXXAM SUXX

In 1985 Charles Hurwitz borrowed money (Junk Bonds) from Michael Milken and bought the company Pacific Lumber, located near Eureka, California. Then Hurwitz increased the rate of logging in the Redwood Forest and cut down all the highly profitable trees. Then he split his corporation MAXXAM into two divisions. One division was used to do actual logging and sawing of boards and the other division was used to hide the profits. When the bill came due on the Junk Bonds, Hurwitz declared bankruptcy and took the money back to Texas. Including the pension funds that paid retirement benefits for employees...

and then Some Guy on FaceBooB said...
It may seem irresponsible to joke about such things but in the greater spectrum of the population there’s a majority of people afraid to share things that they believe in or are concerned about. If I were to run my posts by a consensus of socially responsible advisors, a lot of people would say “no no don’t share that you’ll be watched you’ll be targeted or blacklisted or killed!” I’m not kidding either, but because they often don’t really know what the consequence is, they are vague to articulate it. Some people think everything is a virus and only click the most mainstream of links...


Others may not be paranoid to that extreme, yet still fear social alienation, and/or a loss of business opportunities. So yet still they duck all controversy. Some folks are primarily concerned with their inner chi for the day, their vibe so to speak. It’s understandable, don’t dance with the devil if it’s toxic to your illusionist dependency (you could argue that we all have that a bit).
Some might portray activism as a lost cause. Particularly the whistleblowing aspect of activism is often shrugged off as the most lost of causes, because one might imagine the powers that be don’t take kindly to it. Which makes it into a creepy uncharted territory, like a cavern that no one has seen the other side of. No one can even agree on what the true powers that be are... Anything that challenges them... while seemingly easy for any coward to do online, nevertheless the irony is that many are still afraid to actually do it. So there has to be more to it than meets the eye IMO. It’s a mystery.
Most ppl are relatively innocent bystanders, whom will go on living in an individualist mindset, thinking we never had a chance to change the powers that be. I do legitimately fear that they could be right. But I’m Intrigued by the occasional movement for change, even if it merely involves online support. Joking about it may seem hypocritical, but it does allow a segway into having a conversation about contentious things, without being directly confrontational. That’s my view on it.
Sometimes it’s important for people to know your actual view. These are skeptical times. I know some that need the additional assurance of facial expressions to decide if they believe someone... which is why I think vloging is often perceived as more genuine, many prefer to see who and what everything “looks like” at a given moment. To me that sort of just shows a decline in sophisticated reading and writing skills.... but alas, I kind of do want to start vloging anyway. If it’s a modern standard expectation, then it’s probably more effective to go with it than against.

and then someone else replied:
Sometimes I hesitate to write something controversial, or even just plain, verifiable facts, just because I know the cognitive dissonance of some players will cause a bigger argument than I care to participate in. For instance liberals who worship Obama or Clinton get upset when you mention the not-so-nice things they did while were in office. They call bullshit, you provide factual links, and they either defend the politician's indefensible actions, deny the facts, or claim it's irrelevant. It's difficult for me to stay calm with people that are basically irrational, hence, not bothering to post in the first place. 

and then I said:
I used to be concerned that The "Thought Police" was going to take me away to Secret Prisons... BUT... When I Stopped Smoking Tobacco and Weed and Limited my Coffee to 3 Cups a Day... I Stopped Channeling "My Inner Chewbacca." - At One Point I was So Concerned About the White Vans Lurking In Front of My House that I Jumped in My Car and Drove to "My Secret Spot" on the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt County... and after sitting in the woods for a while... in a place that was ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE EEL RIVER from civilization... I felt Better... anyway... I NO LONGER CARE IF THEY LOCK ME UP.

and JJ Jim Johnson Posted of Facebook:

I have covid madness. Too much time sitting around thinking. Pondering things that bother me and I can’t seem to reconcile. Today, I am obsessed with racism. If you actually read this lengthy post, please comment.

I have friends of every race, culture and background. Guess what. I like them all. And I don’t understand why anyone wouldn’t also like them. I’ve had students of all sorts of backgrounds and guess what, I really like them too. We’re not the same. Some of their music I don’t really like that much. Some of it I love. But I can say the same of opera, musicals, rock, hip hop, metal, soul, country, pop, gagaku, and many others. There’s sitar music that is absolutely fab.

When I see a black person, I don’t see ugly. When I see a chinese person, I don’t see ugly. Korean, Mexican, Italian, Indian, African and on and on. I don’t see ugly. I don’t have a fear of black, brown, yellow, green blue or white. That stuff doesn’t normally occur to me. In fact, quite the opposite. I see beauty in every race and religion, culture and origin. And I like it.

But today, I ask, what is racism.  What is the difference in a causal conversational reference to race or culture and outright, overt racism? Where does the line cross? Where does being politically correct fail and racism begin?

I totally get the American version of racism, slavery and cannot even understand that thought process, not even a little. I will never understand the point of it, except my recent ramblings on fear based lives…

I know why there were slaves. I know that the systemic racism that exists today is a plague, as bad, maybe worse than covid because it happens every day of ever year for decades, for centuries.  It’s nauseating to me, because I now my non white friends have to deal with this every day. Every damn day. I have never tolerated it. And I will fight. I am adamant if I see that shit going on, someone will be on the ground, begging me not to end them. I suppose I am more violent about this than I should be but I picture it as me, or my daughter or son, mother, father, spouse… If someone did that, they would have to stop and suffer. Yeah, I might get arrested but at least I didn’t tolerate it. I can say without hesitation, if I have been there with George Floyd, I would have stopped that fucking bastard Chauvin with force if necessary. I’ve always been that way.

But today I have a dilemma.

I don’t use the N word. I find it used by the soulless and intended to hurt. But when I hear the word sagging, spelled backwards being said by someone, it bothers me immensely. I wish they wouldn’t but it still is a contemporary cultural slang that has taken hold. But now, what if I hear a white person say it, or an Asian or Mexican or Indian or or or…

How am I supposed to react?

If I say it, am I encouraging racism?

Am I being racist?

Why is it ok for my black bud to say it?

Why is it ok for my back buds to say to me, JJ my nnnnn? BTW, I do not take offense because I look at it the way it was intended, as a term of endearment, and fact is, I appreciate them being comfortable enough around me to say it. I actually love them for it and appreciate that they would. I know, weird but true. And I know I could say it back, but I am hesitant. Because of culture, racism, perception.

So there’s my dilemma. Where does it become racist? Defined, as the systematic and systemic oppression, segregation, categorization and so on. But let me ask this. What about when an Asian says something like that to a Mexican or Indian? Or the opposite? Is that also racist? And what if an Asian says that to a white, or a black says that to a white? I understand that the black experience in American with this shit is so profound and is still so incredibly bad today that there is a predetermined urge to think of racism as white against black. But does it also exist with any other minority? How about male/female or even older/younger?

And finally, this comes to me today because of an experience. Take this example and let me know.

A white person, an absolutely non racist BLM supporting white person gets cautioned about saying “n***a” in the workplace. Not in the context of black person but in referencing a song on the playlist that goes “Bag a Six Figga  N***a”.   A customer hears it and complains. In conversation with other employees about the complaint, mentions the phrase “Bag a Six Figga  N***a” and mentions that they need to fix the playlist because a customer complained.

In another similar case, someone has an artifact of something bad that happened and emblazons BLM on it. Later, someone complains. Who is right? Where does the line exist. BTW, the person complaining in both cases was black.

How do I reconcile this, right wrong what? It’s confusing.

Like I mentioned, I would like your comments on this. I’m serious. It’s bothering me a lot.


and I responded... Yep... I was Raised to Not Be Racist... So I Bought a Condo in a Black Neighborhood because the PRICE WAS 25% Cheaper than the Exact Same Condo in a White Neighborhood and I Preferred to TAKE THE DEEP DISCOUNT. Oxon Hill Maryland... about 3 Miles from South East Washington DC - The Murder Capitol of the USA. Now that Honor Goes to East Palo Alto or the South Side of Chicago... ALL BLACK NEIGHBORHOODS... Facts - Reality - Racism is Accurate.

At long last, a top Republican is distancing himself from Donald Trump... Literally... 

Mitch McConnell has been boasting to colleagues and to reporters in Kentucky that he knew better than to go to the Amy Coney Barrett super-spreader event in the Rose Garden or set foot on that 18 acres of magical thinking known as the White House because he could see that the president and his team were courting danger. At 78, the wily Senate majority leader, a polio survivor, wasn’t taking any chances. “I actually haven’t been to the White House since Aug. 6," he said at a news conference back home, “because my impression was their approach to how to handle this was different than mine and what I insisted that we do in the Senate, which is to wear a mask and practice social distancing.” https://www.nytimes.com/2020/10/10/opinion/trump-mitch-mcconnell-coronavirus.html

What IS tRUMP'S Boogaloo Movement? According to Wiki...

The boogaloo movement, whose adherents are often referred to as boogaloo boys or boogaloo bois, is a loosely organized far-right, anti-government, and extremist political movement in the United States. The movement has also been described as a militia. Boogaloo adherents say they are preparing for, or seek to incite, a second American Civil War, which they call the boogaloo. Boogaloo has been used on the fringe imageboard website 4chan since 2012, but it did not come to widespread attention until late 2019. Adherents use boogaloo, including variations so as to avoid social media crackdowns, to refer to violent uprisings against the federal government or left-wing political opponents, often anticipated to follow government confiscation of firearms.

I Found this Rant by Robert Naiman on Facebook... 
Makes Sense...

No Trump Apologist Is a Leftist.
In America, every individual has a First Amendment right to identify themselves however they want. By the same token, every other individual has a First Amendment right to refuse to accept another individual’s self-designation. Donald Trump has a First Amendment right to insist that he’s not a racist. Every other American has a First Amendment right to call bullshit.
The point of being a leftist - or a socialist, or a progressive - is to increase the amount of peace, justice, and human freedom in the world. The point of being a leftist is to improve the lives of other people. A person who makes political choices only on the basis of their own perceived self-interest is not a leftist. Such people have a First Amendment right to call themselves leftists if they want. Everybody else has a First Amendment right to call bullshit.
There are two fatal flaws with the electoral/political “strategy” of the U.S. Green Party from a leftist point of view. One fatal flaw is that for many progressives and liberals, the U.S. Green Party seems to be an organization that exists primarily for the purpose of helping to elect Republican presidents. The second fatal flaw flows from the first. For advocates of the U.S. Green Party’s electoral/political “strategy,” this advocacy is now functioning a “gateway drug” to becoming apologists for Trump.
Everybody willing to acknowledge objective reality knows that there are effectively two candidates for President of the United States right now. One of these candidates endorses violent white supremacists on national TV. The other candidate does not. One of these candidates refuses to commit to accepting the results of a democratic election. The other candidate does not. One of these candidates attacks without evidence mail-in voting during a pandemic, when public health experts - including U.S. government employees whose salaries we are paying with our tax dollars to try to give us the best available information - are telling us that we’re supposed to be minimizing situations where we’re congregating indoors with people we don’t know. The other candidate does not.
To insist now that these two candidates are the same would be to minimize the importance of these three distinctions. Of course, it would also minimize the importance of a whole bunch of other distinctions: health care, labor rights, climate change, civil rights, abortion rights, ending the Yemen war, we could go on and on and on and on. But any purported “leftist” who will not accept those three distinctions as sufficient now will probably not accept ANY distinction as sufficient now. Any purported “leftist” who will not accept those three distinctions as sufficient now has probably adopted a cultish dogma that has put them beyond the reach of reason, logic, and evidence. Any purported “leftist” who will not accept those three distinctions as sufficient now is functioning as a denier: someone who is not really sure that climate change is real, not really sure that the Holocaust happened, not really sure that government-approved vaccines against measles are safe and effective, not really sure that human beings descended from other animals.
Which organization bears primary responsibility for creating such a group of people? The U.S. Green Party. By promoting an electoral/political “strategy” of helping to elect Republican presidents, this organization is creating a group of self-identified “leftists” who are now functioning as Trump apologists.
Most progressives take the view that this organization should be tolerated in progressive spaces because it is not that harmful. If Trump is decisively defeated by Biden and leaves office peacefully in January, then I agree with this view. If Trump is not defeated decisively and does not leave office peacefully in January, then there must be a reckoning for the U.S. Green Party.
