I am sick to death of Donnie and his daily lies.
It's proven that when people hear lies repeatedly ( and ever since November 2020 qualifies)
their brains begin to accept these lies as factual.
That is the DJT Playbook in a nutshell.
Please join me in posting this every Single Day:
The 2020 Presidential Election was Free, Fair and Honest in all of the States of America. There was ZERO Election Fraud. Zero . Ask Chris Krebs head, at the time, of CISA. Ask all of the Judges that thew out the Ludicrous claims the Trump Administration haphazardly brought into Court due to lack of any evidence. Many Trump attorneys were sanctioned over these ridiculous lawsuits.
The rightful President is Joe Biden.
Stop listening to DJT and his whining lies.
#TrumpLost2020
#TrumpIsGuiltyofEveryCrimeHeIsAccusedof
Just stop the nonsense already. America is finished listening to the noise.

TRUMP IS A LIAR

Listen to..., no wait... READ what Leigh McGowan, "Politics Girl," suggests we do about our compromised Supreme Court:
"The Supreme Court is facing a major legitimacy crisis. We currently have nine unelected people who have been given ultimate say over all of our rights and our freedoms. They have no oversight, no term limits, and nothing and no one to hold them accountable. Three of the nine were given lifetime appointments by a twice impeached president who tried to overthrow the government and stole top secret documents from the White House. Six of the nine are deeply tied to the far-right Theocratic dark money Federalist Society, who has spent 40 years trying to undermine the rule of law for their own version of who matters under the law.
These same six justices were all confirmed claiming definitive respect for settled precedent, but are now ruling that established laws and rights can be overturned on a whim. This is the same majority who gets to decide what cases the court even takes up and how, and have expanded the shadow docket to take more cases that are decided away from public scrutiny with limited preparation and no oral arguments.
Despite the fact that the Supreme Court is supposed to be removed from petty politics, these justices are out campaigning with right-wing politicians, taking speaking engagements at right wing events, and indicating to right-wing groups which cases they would like to see come before them. Justice is supposed to be blind. The courts are supposed to rule on the merits of the case, not the opinion of the justice. And yet here we are, dangerously close to the majority will of 300 million people being overturned by the majority will of nine people.
Laws only work because we collectively agree to follow them. How long does that last if people lose faith in the institution upholding the law? It's no longer just calling balls and strikes if the umpires are in the bag for the other team. So what do we do? What do we do to uphold our faith in the justice system and the highest court in the land?
We can't pass term limits because lifetime appointment is written into the Constitution. We can't impeach a Justice without two-thirds of the Senate, which with this Senate is completely out of the question. The Supreme Court are their own police, so their ethics and recusals are entirely self-motivated. And five of the six have no motivation to change because they're doing exactly what they were put there to do. Which leaves us with court expansion, diluting the power of compromised justices by adding more people to the court.
There is nothing in the Constitution that specifies the number of Supreme Court justices. In fact, we only have a nine-member court because 150 years ago Congress matched the amount of Supreme Court Justices to the amount of Appellate Court districts, which at the time was nine but is now 13. So there is a precedent for matching districts to Justice numbers.
President Biden and Congress will be well within their rights to expand the court to keep up with tradition. So Joe Biden could theoretically add four justices, which would balance the court and just happen to make it a 7-6 liberal majority. Yay, problem solved, we win! But we don't win, because nobody wins if you stack the court. The Republicans have already done that, and we can see that all it's done is served to delegitimize the entire judicial branch of the government.
So here's what I propose: we expand the court to 27. Yeah, 27. The Supreme Court either becomes two courts of 13 or three courts of 9. The justices will pick their cases and fellow justices at random. They won't know which cases will be coming before them or who they'll be working with from case to case. Cases like the Dobbs case that overturned Roe won't come before them just because the litigants know ahead of time that they have the votes to win. If you bring a case to the Supreme Court, you don't know what the makeup of the Court will be and you don't know what justices you're going to get, which means the justices will be left to rule on the strength of the case, the quality of the argument, and the interpretation of the Constitution.
Twenty-seven justices means justice could once again be blind. Presidential elections could go back to being about leadership and not which party you would rather get a Supreme Court pick. Justices could get sick, they could retire before they died, because the laws in the country wouldn't come down to their one vote. One in 27 doesn't make that much of a difference. That many justices picking cases and colleagues at random means we can stop pouring gasoline onto the fire of partisanship and we could have faith in the courts again - faith in the very institution that we need to uphold the fabric of our country and our faith in the rule of law. Because right now everything is unraveling and we have to do something to stop it before it's too late.
Twenty-seven. Think about it.


and then OWK Said:

Repubtards don't understand they're elected to govern for the people, and not to make Dumbocrats look bad by destroying the country.
"It’s possible, though, that the caucus has a different goal: tanking the economy. The government shutdown in 2018 cost the United States $11 billion, including $3 billion in economic activity that will never be recovered, the Congressional Budget Office said at the start of the following year."
With a presidential election on the horizon, the Freedom Caucus could be looking for ways to undermine Biden any way it can. Destroying the economy he’s helping to recover would do just that.""

and then...

Mornin'! I wanted to post on something I've been manifesting a lot recently, and working harder than I ever have to see it through. We're on the path to aquire land by this time next year, preferably TN or somewhere close in the Appalachia. I'm always researching the market, and looking at properties. However, how do you network with our family to find land more locally? Being there would help, but I gotta stay working in Colorado this winter to make it happen. I'd rather not go through these big website company dealers, spending insane amounts of money to continue to saturate the market. Also, is there any other Fam interested in this and working as a collective to make it happen? Thats the dream for us to be a hub and living offgrid community to help each other live better, and anything we could all contribute (skills, networking, etc etc)would definitely give us the edge to make it a reality. There would be more talk on that in the future for whomever might want to make this step, or is even considering the idea. We have a few people already committed, as well as trying to get into the network of communities to build this prop up for the people that live in these spaces. Anywho. I've never done this myself, so all the advice, encouragement, realism.. lol is greatly appreciated! Loving you Fam and I hope all your dreams come true today...

"Republicans on the Supreme Court are, it appears, planning to gut most of America’s regulatory agencies, in what could be the most consequential re-write of the protective “deep state” since it was largely created during the New Deal in the 1930s."
If they pull it off, they could destroy the ability of:
— the EPA to regulate pollutants,
— the USDA to keep our food supply safe,
— the FDA to oversee drugs going onto the market,
— OSHA to protect workers,
— the CPSC to keep dangerous toys and consumer products off the market,
— the FTC to regulate monopolies,
— the DOT to come up with highway and automobile safety standards,
— the ATF to regulate guns,
— the Interior Department to regulate drilling and mining on federal lands,
— the Forest Service to protect our woodlands and rivers,
— and the Department of Labor to protect workers’ rights.
"Among other things on the rightwing billionaire wish-list: virtually the entirety of America’s ability to protect its citizens from corporate predation rests on what’s called the Chevron deference (more on that in a moment), which the Court appears prepared to overturn with a case they just accepted last week."

WOKE means Aware of Reality. ANTI-WOKE Means Brainwashed.

 I was surprised that when I Posted these words as a MEME on FaceBorg, Many People Commented...

For Example: 
Wokeness, was first coined in the early 80's. From research conducted at UCLA Westwood, CA. It revealed, that men of color, were more likely, to receive longer incarceration times, than their white counterparts. The GOP, as usual, has distorted it. Because, they prey upon ignorance!

and someone else said: 
It was a statement about eyes being wide open to inequities in our society until the GOP repurposed it to describe anything they didn’t like. You know, sort of like Socialism and Communism. They have no idea what those mean either.
Willfully and blissfully ignorant.

and I said: 
Some People Insist that BEING BRAINWASHED is the Best Way to Live Life... Of Course That DOES Remove the Burden of Making Choices... Big Brother Will Simply TELL YOU WHAT TO DO.

and then...
Robert Reich Said: 
Friends,
Now that President Biden has signed into law the debt-ceiling deal, what can we expect in the next 17 months leading up to the 2024 election?
1. House MAGA Republicans will be less of a force.
It was supposed to be their ace in the hole, their single biggest bargaining leverage. But in the end, House MAGA Republicans got surprisingly little out of their agreement to increase the debt ceiling.
Yes, they acted irresponsibly. They manufactured a debt crisis out of whole cloth. They played a reckless hostage-taking game. They could have wrecked the full faith and credit of the United States. They demanded spending cuts that would have hurt lots of vulnerable Americans.
Yet in the end, they got almost zilch. They’ve been shown to be paper tigers.
The final deal leaves Biden’s economic agenda mainly untouched (except for a limited rollback of some IRS funds and the ending of a pause on federal student loan payments expected to expire anyway).
And although it imposes new work requirements for the beneficiaries of some federal aid, including childless adults who receive food stamps, it increases spending in the program (and is expected to cover more people) while sparing Medicaid.
I very much doubt that Kevin McCarthy has suddenly discovered the virtues of compromise and bipartisanship. His speakership continues to depend on the support of MAGA crazies in the House like Marjorie Taylor Greene, Jim Jordan, Scott Perry, and Lauren Boebert.
I expect that in coming months the House MAGAs will do all sorts of outrageous things to demonstrate fealty to their Republican base: try to impeach Biden, drag Hunter Biden through muddy hearings, pass bills prioritizing freedom of religion above all other values, even flirt with a national abortion ban.
Their hearings will get lots of play on Fox News and Newsmax, but they’ll lead nowhere, and their bills will die in the Senate.
2. Biden’s quiet diplomacy is working, at least for now.
Biden didn’t try to rally the public behind him. He might have told the nation why the very existence of the debt ceiling was an affront to both the Constitution and the nation’s standing. He could have threatened to use the 14th Amendment and publicly invited the Supreme Court to rule on it.
But this was not Biden. In his 50 years of public service, he has never delivered a speech with the power to alter the public’s understanding of a major issue.
Over the next 17 months, Biden won’t take on MAGA Republicans openly and vociferously, no matter how outrageously they act. Instead, he’ll quietly work away at implementing his infrastructure, technology, and climate legislation.
3. The Trump factor wasn’t in play, but it will be.
As in Sherlock Holmes’s mystery “The Dog That Didn’t Bark,” silence was a big part of the story — in this case, that of Donald Trump during the critical final weeks of negotiation.
Had Trump weighed in loudly against it, House Republicans would not have gone along.
Biden’s behind-the-scenes strategy of compromise will work less well closer to the election, as America is subjected to full-bore Trump. And it’s certainly no match for a growing White Christian Nationalist movement that Trump has enabled, which threatens the very essence of American democracy.
Some commentators argue that the debt-ceiling deal begins to “reestablish a broad bipartisan political center.”
Rubbish. There can be no center to American politics as long as most Republican voters support Trump and most Republican lawmakers follow Trump’s lead. There’s no “center” between democracy and authoritarianism.
4. The debt will continue to soar, but that may not be a problem.
The debt agreement will cut expected increases in federal spending by $1.5 trillion over a decade, mainly by freezing some funding and limiting spending to 1 percent growth in 2025.
Yet the national debt as a percentage of the total economy will continue to grow.
This is largely due to the inevitable demographics of baby boomers — who will be retiring and collecting Social Security and Medicare.
Republicans will almost certainly take their debt savings as an invitation for more tax cuts on the wealthy and big corporations, just as they turned savings from their 2011 deal into the 2017 tax cut.
Democrats should resist this and continue to demand that the rich pay their fair share of taxes. Democrats must also advocate for more generous safety nets and public investments.
There’s no good reason the U.S. remains the only rich nation without paid family leave, paid vacations, universal health care, affordable college, child and elder care. These are all hugely popular with voters. Make them issues for 2024.
As to the debt itself, neither party really cares about it. Although it has doubled from $15 trillion in 2011 to $31.4 trillion now, it has not had any obvious negative effect on the economy.
5. The federal budget will become little more than Social Security, Medicare, and defense.
Perhaps the biggest single shift in Republican strategy as revealed in the debt deal is the GOP’s newfound willingness to protect Social Security and Medicare.
Think how far we’ve come from 2005 when George W. Bush tried to privatize Social Security. This time around, MAGA Republicans went out of their way to wall off these popular programs. (Trump warned MAGAs not to touch them.)
In a few years, if present trends continue, the federal budget will essentially be Social Security, Medicare, and national defense — with a few odds and ends tacked on. Non-defense discretionary spending has been falling as a share of the economy for several years, and it will now fall even farther.
I don’t want to minimize the significance of what just occurred. America has dodged a lethal bullet. Biden played it about as well as it could have been played, given who he is and who they are. Had the debt ceiling not been lifted, we’d be facing economic Armageddon within days.
But in terms of the factors contributing to that lethal bullet, little has changed. The MAGA Republicans have been stymied for now, but they’re still dangerous as hell.
What are your thoughts?
