I really don’t owe my Trump-supporting friends an apology. I’ve been critical of the Trump presidency these last several years, and am still exhausted from the experience. But to be fair, President Trump wasn’t that bad…………..other than when he incited an insurrection against the government, mismanaged a pandemic that killed a million Americans, separated children from their families, lost those children in the bureaucracy, tear-gassed peaceful protesters on Lafayette Square so he could hold a photo op holding a Bible in front of a church, tried to block all Muslims from entering the country, got impeached, got impeached again, had the worst jobs record of any president in modern history, pressured Ukraine to dig dirt on Joe Biden, fired the FBI director for investigating his ties to Russia, bragged about firing the FBI director on TV, took Vladimir Putin’s word over the US intelligence community, diverted military funding to build his wall, caused the longest government shutdown in US history, called Black Lives Matter a “symbol of hate,” lied nearly 30,000 times, banned transgender people from serving in the military, ejected reporters from the White House briefing room who asked tough questions, vetoed the defense funding bill because it renamed military bases named for Confederate soldiers, refused to release his tax returns, increased the

the city of Baltimore the “worst in the nation,” claimed that he single handedly brought back the phrase “Merry Christmas” even though it hadn’t gone anywhere, forced his Cabinet members to praise him publicly like some cult leader, believed he should be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, berated and belittled his hand-picked Attorney General when he recused himself from the Russia probe, suggested the US should buy Greenland, colluded with Mitch McConnell to push through federal judges and two Supreme Court justices after supporting efforts to prevent his predecessor from appointing judges,

Miranda Warning GONE - The Evil Supreme Court Has Ruled that Police No Longer Have to Tell Arrested People That They "Have the Right to Remain Silent."

Supreme Court says police can't be sued for not reading out Miranda rights. 
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Most people recognize those lines as the familiar warning officers give a suspect in custody. They're known as Miranda rights. But the Supreme Court ruled last month in a civil case, Vega v. Tekoh, suspects who do not receive a Miranda warning cannot sue an officer for damages. That means suspects have no recourse if they are not reminded of rights protected by the Fifth Amendment, like the right to an attorney and that they can't be forced to incriminate themselves.
SCOTUS: Pure Evil - Exorcism Needed Now - Supreme Court Justices - To Be Fair, Not All of the Justices are Evil... Just the LIARS that Overturned Roe v Wade and Made the Miranda Warning Optional

DON'T CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPITE YOUR FACE
A vote for the GOP is a vote
for you, your family,
and everyone you know,
to be enslaved,
to be subjugated,
to be suppressed,
by a ruthless autocracy,
a tyrant,
a dictator.
A vote for GOP,
until the grip of Trumpism (aka Putinism) is lifted from the radical right and they come back from mass delusion,
is a vote
AGAINST
Democracy,
Freedom,
Liberty,
and all our Rights.
A vote for GOP,
because you’re pissed that prices are going up
in a world wide wave of inflation,
caused by PUTIN’s evil war against democracy,
is in fact handing power
over your life
and your freedom
to election deniers
drunk on mass delusions and
fantasy conspiracy theories.
If you can’t be bothered to vote at all,
that is in fact an action in itself,
in support of
a GOP dictatorship,
which may
destroy our democracy,
our freedoms,
and our way of life.
REGRET is a horrible thing.
Don’t risk living the rest of your life with the deep regret that
if only I had voted
against GOP autocrats,
if only I had convinced and supported more democracy-loving friends and family of the urgency to vote this year,
to keep our freedoms,
that we would not have
lost it all.
2020 was the most important vote in our lifetime,
to remove a dictator in the making, while we still had the right to vote,
but even then,
on Jan 6th,
the mass deluded radical right
still tried
and came close
to taking it all away from us.
2022 is the next test of our resolve
to remain Free,
to remain a democracy.
What is your
Freedom and Liberty
worth to you?
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE
VOTE to keep our
freedom and democracy
WHAT WILL YOU DO?

DEMOCRATIC POLICIES QUITE POPULAR, GOP NARROWMINDEDNESS, GREED APPALL MOST AMERICANS: SO LET'S KEEP THE FOCUS ON THE ISSUES
By HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
October 18, 2022 (Tuesday)
In their year and a half in power, Democrats have put in place policies that are widely popular—indeed, the infrastructure projects provided for under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Act are so popular that Republicans who voted against the law are nonetheless taking credit for them. Voters have long called for Medicare to be able to negotiate drug prices with pharmaceutical companies (83% in favor), now made possible by the Inflation Reduction Act, which also caps certain drug expenses, including the cost of insulin. Between 80 and 90% of Americans want basic gun control laws—the Democrats just passed the first one in decades—and a majority want funding for action against climate change (65%) and relief for educational debt (55%).
Support for supplying Ukraine against Russia stands at 73%, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll taken in early October. Support for Ukraine was a bipartisan commitment that changed only after Trump had the 2016 Republican platform, which had expressed support for Ukraine, watered down.
What has not been popular in the past year and a half, in fact, what has been quite unpopular, is the Supreme Court decision in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health, overturning the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion. About 62% of Americans believe abortion should be legal in all or most cases, while only 8% believe it should be illegal in all cases, and 28% believe it should be illegal in most cases.
Since June, when the Supreme Court handed down the Dobbs decision, the news has reported multiple cases of raped children unable to obtain abortions in their home states, girls and women unable to obtain medications to treat long-term illnesses because those drugs can also induce abortion, women diagnosed with cancer who cannot get treatment, women whose fetuses have conditions incompatible with life and who cannot terminate the pregnancy, and women whose health is at risk as they are unable to obtain the healthcare they need as they are miscarrying—all of this just as abortion rights advocates warned would happen if the court overturned Roe v. Wade. Since the Dobbs decision, Democrats have outperformed expectations in four special House elections and one state referendum.
The popularity of the Democrats’ agenda and the unpopularity of their own appear to have pushed the Republicans to go for broke, courting their base by demanding the utter destruction of Democrats’ policies and the reinstatement of their own.
Since the 1980s, Republican leaders have embraced the idea that cutting taxes and concentrating wealth at the top of the economy will spark economic growth, although “supply side” economics has never produced as promised. They insist the programs Biden and the Democrats back are “socialism,” and their base agrees. Their base also hates abortion rights.
To sidestep the gulf between their base and the majority of voters, Senate minority leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) declined to announce any sort of an agenda before the midterm elections, telling donors that party leaders would just attack the Democrats.
There have been signs, though, of what the Republicans will do if they regain control of one or both of the houses of Congress, and top of the list was cutting the programs at the heart of our social welfare system: Social Security and Medicare. Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) called for sunsetting all laws every five years and repassing them; Senator Ron Johnson (R-WI) called for making Social Security and Medicare part of the discretionary budget, meaning their funding would have to be reapproved every year.
Republicans have also said they would pass a law to make the 2017 Trump tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations permanent, a move economists say would increase inflation. “The trick is to put the president in a position of either getting defeated in 2024 or signing your stuff into law,” former House speaker Newt Gingrich told Jeff Stein of the Washington Post. “Republicans will make it a priority to continue the Trump tax cuts, because it puts the Democrats in a position of being for tax increases and against economic growth.”
Recently, though, Republicans have been much clearer, warning that they will refuse to raise the debt ceiling in order to force Biden to agree to their demands to “reform” Social Security and Medicare by raising the age of eligibility and means testing. (Democrats have said they would stabilize the programs with higher taxes on the wealthy.)
This is a huge deal. While Trump has urged MAGA Republicans in the past to use the threat of the debt ceiling to get concessions, responsible Republicans have refused to play chicken with the global financial markets and with our own financial future, for defaulting even for a matter of hours will wash away our financial might. Raising the debt ceiling is not a future blank check, it enables the U.S. to meet bills it has already incurred, and refusing to do so will throw the U.S. into a catastrophic default. Congress has raised the debt ceiling repeatedly in the past forty years, but Republicans have apparently come around to Trump’s position that playing to their base is worth taking the U.S. hostage.
Republicans are also signaling a change in U.S. support for Ukraine. Although current Republican leaders have supported aid to Ukraine, House minority leader Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) suggested today that if the Republicans regain the majority thanks to more MAGA candidates, they will oppose giving more aid to Ukraine in the war with Russia. Putin has just launched the largest wave of airstrikes against Ukraine since the early days of the war, hitting civilian areas with the plan to cut off gas and electricity before the winter.
And, of course, after the Supreme Court justified striking down Roe v. Wade by saying abortion should be a state decision, Senator Lindsey Graham (R-SC) introduced a bill to ban abortion nationally. (Today, Biden pledged to push a law protecting abortion rights if voters return the few more lawmakers Democrats need to accomplish that.)
Republicans have sold their unpopular program in part by maintaining a narrative vision of the world that tells MAGA supporters what they want to hear. Since the beginning of Trump’s term, a key part of that narrative has been that the FBI investigation of the ties between the 2016 Trump campaign and Russian operatives was a witch hunt. In April 2019, Trump's attorney general William Barr tapped U.S. attorney John Durham to discredit that investigation.
Journalist and professor Bill Grueskin collected the headlines from the Wall Street Journal’s editorial page for the past year. They read: “Durham Cracks the Russia Case,” “Durham Delivers on Russiagate,” “John Durham Shows How the FBI Lets Its Informants Mislead It,” and so on.
But that’s not how it panned out. Durham ultimately indicted three men. One pleaded guilty to altering an email in a different case; he got probation. Durham accused another of lying to the FBI; a jury acquitted him. Durham indicted a third, Igor Danchenko, for lying to the FBI; today a jury acquitted him as well. Durham used the trial to rail against the FBI, but his inability to win a conviction after more than three years of work undermines the MAGA narrative that Durham was going to find the goods to pin a witch hunt on bad FBI agents and acquit Trump once and for all.
A new audiobook from veteran journalist Bob Woodward tore down another MAGA story today when it revealed an audiotape of Trump calling the letters he wrote to North Korean leader Kim Jong Un “top secret” in January 2021. Clearly, he knew they were classified, despite his claims now that he didn’t take anything special. Further, he let Woodward see and transcribe the classified documents.
Will the puncturing of these narratives matter? At some level, no; they are about mythmaking and social identity. Today, Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) celebrated her visit to the Wilder Monument at the Chickamauga (she misspelled it) battlefield in Georgia. She identified the monument as honoring Confederate soldiers and boasted that she “will always defend our nation’s history.” But, in fact, the Wilder Brigade, also known as the Lightning Brigade, was not Confederate; it was from the United States.
The point, though, was likely not accuracy: it was to “own” the “Libs” by celebrating the Confederacy.
Will reinforcing that identity for the Republican base be enough for the party to win the midterms? It’s anyone’s guess. But today, the first day of early voting in Georgia smashed the state’s previous record for first-day votes cast in a midterm election. In 2018 the first day of voting brought in 71,000 voters. Today that number hit more than 130,000.

Darryl Cherney says: "Boomer" is an epithet used by the wannabe PC crowd to hide their ageism, bigotry, and ignorance of the contributions and problems of each generation, which is pretty much the same since recorded history. The fostered attitude brings us divide and conquer that the establishment has used for millennia. Shall we hold Dylan Roof and the Unite the Right Marchers in Charlottesville as a poster children for the current generation? The baby boom brought us the Beatles, Motown, Bob Dylan, the environmental, women's, and modern day ciivl rights movements, alternative medicine, the rise of paganism and Earth centered spiritualities, and much more. In other words, to quote Judi Bari, "Ignorance is distributed equally among the classes," and I would add, among the generations. Or as JC might put it: "Let they who are without sin... "

Robert Smyth :Remember, “Don’t trust anyone over thirty?” Every new generation shakes their collective heads at the previous generation. If I were a Millennial, I’d feel pretty let down by the previous generation’s greed and selfishness that’s contributed to the rapidly deteriorating condition of our climate and biosphere, along with the residual 20th Century strains of Ignorance that seem so hard to shake, even twenty years into the 21st Century.

Darryl Cherney:I remember so well "Don't trust anyone over 30." And to take if further "Kill your parents." So glad we can count on the young to save us. I've been waiting for them for 20 years to join us. However, this current PC language obsessed generation seems to be looking for at least something to be bigoted against without feeling un-PC. Aha! People born after 1949 or so. Perfect. That working single mom and fighting for the union dad and getting ripped apart by police dogs civil rights activists are the problem. Seriously poor analysis. It's always been the rich and it has nothing to do with age.

Darryl Cherney This is all straight up divide and conquer. One could argue that the generations before baby boomers (I won't use the epithet) and well into baby boomers well into the 60's had to fight for all those things that the next generations took for granted.. One could argue those next generations took all those things for granted and lost them because they were hand them on a silver platter didn't have to fight for them in the first place. But I don't argue that because all generations have the same cross sections of points of view, more or less.

Darryl Cherney Which generation did Dylan Roof belong to, or those mass shooters at Parkland, and Columbine and the theater in Colorado? What about the younger Republican Congress thugs, of which there are plenty to match up to AOC. Which side represents the generation? Answer: they all do.

Darryl Cherney Every generation mistrusts their elders and that is what is so unenlightened about it. These are the end times of civilization as we know it. It's the use of divide and conquer when coming together to save our planet is imperative. My opinion, while standing for the rights of so many, some people seek at least someone to be bigoted against, just like some liberals love to have a liberal to attack to make themselves feel "fair-minded." This is old stuff.

Darryl Cherney What if I said this photo [Neo Nazi men with torches] represents the current generation? (It doesn't represent them anymore than the nazi youth did in the 30's and 40's). But that's what it feels like when I hear this bigoted b-word expression which by its definition is inherently opposed to diversity of age while the user theoretically espouses diversity of everything else.

Darryl Cherney Ariel Hanson, et al. You've missed my point. I'm not comparing the words boomer and nazi at all. I'm saying that one can't lay claim that an entire generation is at fault when there are more than millions of young people going on a destructive, bigoted path and if you want to lay the blame on baby boomers then one must look at all the members of every generation, including these guys. So shall I assume they are representative of young people any more than a very few baby boomers are representative of an entire generation. You can't have it both ways.


Darryl Cherney: Here's a media piece on it with the angle being support of Bernie Sanders. This woman says that the influence of earlier generations appears all white, male and capitalist with names like Dave, John, Steve, etc., but she appears to be ignorant of names like Martin, Malcolm, Gloria, Rachel, Judi, Caesar, Jesse, Leonard, Abby, Huge, Eldridge, Geronimo, Anna Mae, Bella, not to mention John, Paul, George and Ringo and hundreds if not thousands more who changed the direction of thinking and action in this country, at least. To top it off, she speaks with a Valley Girl accent. Oh yeah, I forgot Frank. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH6D8uJzp8g

Signe Nielsen: Naw, we done f#cked up the planet.

Darryl Cherney: Which we? The Native peoples? Union organizers? Greenpeace? Rachel Carson? The Beatles? Impoverished peoples worldwide including here? The people originally brought as slaves? The Zulu? The Icelanders? Which we? Or was it the Emperors, the Bankers, the Slave Traders, the Oilmen, the Railroad tycoons and auto manufacturers, the politicians? Or... was it a system put in place long ago before memory that we barely recognize has been matrixed over us? Which "we"?

Cynthia Kruger: Darryl – collectively, humans have eff’d up the planet.
Sure greed is a large part of it, but so has been medicine in the sense it may have shortcut an important mechanism that kept population growth in check, or perhaps the development of agriculture which helped population to grow as food scarcity became less. Our many solutions for particular problems have had (unintended) consequences that (partly) led to uncontrolled population growth.

And, I would be remiss if I failed to mention religious dogma encouraging people to prosper and procreate. While the exhortation to procreate originally had a practical reason . . . insuring species continuity . . . it became separated from that imperative at some point by greed.

My Autobiography: Growing Up in Los Gatos, California in the 1960s by Gregory Vanderlaan - and Living in San Jose, Washington DC, Chico, Eureka and Orangevale, CA.

I Was Born in 1954. We lived Near the San Jose Airport until they Started Landing Jet Airplanes and We had to move... We went to Los Gatos in 1960.

I feel blessed that not only did I grow up in a great location but I also grew up at a great time. I missed the Vietnam War by ONE Year and Silicon Valley Was Hiring Like Crazy When I Needed a Job.

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...
