I spent 17 years in prison for sexual assault. I did my time. I learned to own my attitude and behavior. I am disgusted that the government, the private sector, and the media landscape has allowed Trump to become POTUS, just to avoid going to prison.

The Covid vaccines saved my life. I heard Bobby Kennedy, Jr. call Trump the most empathetic man he ever met. His father gave a speech in Indianapolis the night Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was murdered in 1968. Bobby informed the crowd of his death. There no violence just empathy and sadness.
FDR's New Deal was the target of anti-communist rhetoric. The World War II generation reelected FDR 3 times. The billionaire class resented FDR for establishing the most powerful middle class in the history of the world. Nixon's Silent Majority supported Civil Rights and forced us out of Vietnam.
I am reading the Federalist and Anti-Federalist papers. The principle behind self-government is We the People. The billionaire class and their millionaire minions assume the right to be regarded as the sovereign because they purchased control of the government. They certainly bought the White House.
Tennessee v Scopes 1925, Creationism v Evolution, evolved into God v Science. Hence the marriage of extreme wealth and profits for prophets in the form of the John Birch Society. The result comes down to teachers using their meager earnings to buy school supplies and Joel Osteen owns luxury cars.
The sales gig was maybe 40 years ago. It was trying to feed into people's fears that just didn't add up. Pictures of microscopic insects invading the carpet fibers. People couldn't take it seriously because I couldn't take it seriously.
I tried to be a Kirby salesman once. Like many others sales gigs I attempted I could not believe in what I was selling because it either cost more than it was worth, or just came across as so much BS. I was capable of lying to myself, but I could not lie to others.
This is consistent with where FDR was trying to take the New Deal and was resented and resisted by the up and coming billionaire class and their millionaire minions. Is there any double as to why the GOP and their billionaire benefactors are pushing this anticommunist/antisocialist nonsense? Profits
President Nixon - The tail wags the dog. [Reagan acknowledges.] Yeahā. Reagan's real attitude about Black Americans and his disdain for the United Nations. Funny how this video establishes that Mark R Levin is full of bull. Southern Democrats of the Civil War Era are the GOP of the 21st Century.
Reagan - āto see those . . . those monkeys from those African countries [President Nixon laughs] ādamn them, theyāre still uncomfortable wearing shoes. President Nixon - [Laughs loudly.] Well, and then theyāthe tail wags the dog there, doesnāt it? Reagan -Yeah.
My every instinct says, get the hell out of that [President Nixon laughs and acknowledges] kangaroo court and let it sink...that the United StatesāI justāthe people I just know areāfirst of all, they donāt like the U.N. to begin with. President Nixon - Thatās rightā¦
President Nixon - And these African countries, theyāre the ones that, I must say, were disappointing. Reagan - Well, Mr. Presidentā¦I feel so strongly that we canāt. . . and withāin view of ā72, we canāt just sit and take this and continue as if nothing had happenedā¦
Ted Agnew. Heās back from [unclear] and from Greece and Turkey, and both of whom we got, incidentally. We didnāt get Iran, though, damn it. You know, you figure thereās the Shah, weāve done all the things for him, butā¦ Reagan - Yeah.
Patrick J. Garrity, Erin R. Mahan, and Kieran K. Matthews. āReagan - Well, I want to tell you, weā President Nixon - We worked our tails off, I must say. I thinkā Reagan - I know. I was just sick. President Nixon - Fifty-four to 59. Iām telling you, I just finished a meeting with [Spiro T.]
to become the representative delegate to the UN over Chang Kai-shek and Taiwan. It is a conversation that covers a lot of ground and speaks to a range of Reaganās own prejudices. Richard Nixon and Ronald W. Reagan on 26 October 1971, Transcript: Edited by Ken Hughes, with
Restoration of the Lawful Rights of the Peopleās Republic of China in the United Nations. The following day Ronald Reagan is on the phone, with Richard Nixon. He is unaware that he is being taped. He is disgusted because the UN voted with the Peopleās Republic of China
Reagan decided to become a Republican in response to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. On October 25th, 1971, the United Nations (UN) passed UN Resolution 2758 . Restoration of the lawful rights of the Peopleās Republic of China 2758 (XXVI). 1976th plenary meeting, 25 October 1971.
President Carter signed the Mental Health Systems Act of 1980. āAn Act ā To improve the provisions of mental health services and otherwise promote mental health throughout the United States..." In 1981 Reagan repealed the Mental Health Systems Act. The homelessness became a crisis as a result.
Please share so that she can be identified and arrested.
This kind of tactic was banded by the government when companies like Kirby used a similar tactic to scare consumers into buy their vacuums.
Reagan's trickledown economics. 13 US billionaires in 1980 and just shy of a trillion dollar National Debt. Add undermining public services in the form of privatization. 45 years later there are 800+ US billionaires and a 33 trillion dollar National Debt. An economy designed to create trillionaires.

Remember the the principle effort of the McCarthy Era was to suggest that the Civil Rights Movement had to be a communistic generated foreign conspiracy. An alleged conspiracy that Reagan used to justify attacking education in the form of college tuition to go after protesting the Vietnam War.
I watched Mark R Levin try to suggest last night that Islamic Religious Conservative Extremism is some form of communism. When the reality is that it is exactly the same as Christian Religious Conservative Extremism. In one form or the other they are best understood as Religious Misogyny.
Undermining what was originally the sovereignty that belongs to the American People. If the concept of "originalism" is to be credible, then the needs and will of the People should be seen to and protected at all costs.
By purchasing control over the legislative, executive, judicial, and political process the billionaire class and their millionaire minions have established themselves as the sovereign authority over the United States and have chosen to treat the American People as nothing more than consumers.
it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness..."
Confining constitutional interpretation to what conservative's call "Originalism" undermines the intent of the US Constitution in the first place. From the Declaration of Independence: "...That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends,
he usurped his authority under Article II Section 2 Clause 2 to do it. Hence we ended up with Justice Gorsuch. Bad enough that we would end up with Justice Kavanaugh when Justice Kennedy retired. But McConnell went to the opposite extreme to get Justice Amy Comey Barrett nominated and confirmed.
I consider a debate about how the US Constitution is to be interpreted as one of the single most important issues of the current moment. An issue that must not be ignored or forgotten. When McConnell chose to avoid dealing with POTUS Obama's SCOTUS nominee,
We have come to a clear realization of the fact that true individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. āNecessitous men are not free men.ā People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are madeā¦ā
and grew to its present strength, under the protection of certain inalienable political rightsāamong them the right of free speech, free press, free worship, trial by jury, freedom from unreasonable searches and seizures. They were our rights to life and libertyā¦
"...A realistic tax law---which will tax unreasonable profits, both individual and corporate, and reduce the ultimate cost of the war on our sons and daughters. The tax bill now under consideration by the Congress does not begin to meet this testā¦This Republic had its beginning,
The key to understanding the current moment is to understand why the 22nd Amendment came into existence. FDR was not only the most popular POTUS, but his efforts were directed at those rich and powerful people who's greed had created the Great Depression. From FDR's State of the Union message 1944
Fascinating that Mark R Levin is trying to suggest that Islamic religious conservative extremism is some form of communism. When Islamic religious conservative extremism is no different and no less irrational than Christian evangelical religious conservative extremism.
Starring DJT as the Nurse From Holier Than Thou!
I just watched Fareed Zakaria's documentary US v Iran. It is disturbing that he failed to deal with where these issues actually began. August 1953, the CIA helped overthrow a duly elected government Mohammad Mosaddegh and installed the Shah of Iran over the UK's desire to control oil production.
Clear, concise and absolutely accurate!

It should be an abuse of power and unconstitutional. It's a fundamental part of privatization to undermine and control the will of the people through excess pricing. The way Reagan went after college students through tuition costs because they were protesting an illegal and immoral war.
At least four or five people should be on the ballot for each office sought. All elections should be restricted financially by establishing a tax payer supported system, that I think could force corporations pay their taxes like the rest of us to get their voices heard. Any thoughts?
Like abortion rights were vetoed in Missouri against the will of the people. The same process should be opened to anybody who wants to run for office whether for local, state, or federal. Everybody who meet the basic criteria of age has the right to face the voters and speak their minds.
I think the system needs to change such that every state in the country needs to allow for a referendum process. Where voters share ideas that can be freely and openly discuss. Where ballot measures that receive sufficient support can be voted on. If passed, adopted. They should not end up vetoed.
I was watching the History Channel a little while ago. Part of a series that spoke about Black GIs who landed on Omaha Beach June 6th, 1944. How as an example, it is not the kind of history MSM has ever gone out of their way to focus on. The kind of history Trump wants erased.
freedom of speech was turned a free-for-all for propaganda in the form of Fox News and ilk. Not that MSM is much better. Not bad, but not as credible as it should be. So what I think we have is a system that has lost sight of it's responsibility to inform the people truthfully and faithfully.
The current two party system thanks to SCOTUS decisions like Citizens United has allowed the billionaire class and their millionaire minions the ability to purchase control over the legislative, executive, judicial, and political process. When Reagan vetoed the effort to codify the Fairness Doctrine
26th amendment was ratified in 1971. The right to vote was changed such that if one can be drafted to die for their country they had already earned the right to vote. I turned 18 October 1972. I voted for Nixon because he promised to get us out of Vietnam. I haven't voted GOP since.
My thinking starts with the Constitution itself. The criteria for eligibility speaks for itself. Primarily age requirements. I look at that the same way the Constitution was amended to challenge the age requirement to vote. The 26th Amendment reduced the voting age to 18 in response to draft age.
If I understand your thought process the primary process is being used to whittle the voters down into two major categories. Democrat and Republican. Most voters are resisting that. I have always been independent. Until recently I was not involved in the primary process because of that status.
This is what happens when you replace a SCOTUS Justice Thurgood Marshall with a Clarence Thomas misogynistic type personality. Nothing credible and nothing even remotely accountable.
So, along with kidnapping, shipping prisoners across state and international boundaries, there are assault charges that will likely not get dealt with until the felon residing in the White House goes to prison for treason.
It's not about focusing on one side or the other. It's about universal accountability for anyone involved. The death of Mary Jo Kopechne comes to mind. No autopsy. Then in 2009 Ted Kennedy is given the JFK Profiles in Courage Award. A justice system for the many, then another for all elites.
Corporations should pay their share of the tax burden. They should pay down the National Debt they pushed to extremes. They should not be allowed to profit on public services in the form of privatization. Healthcare and education are constitutional rights. UBI should adjusted based on this criteria.
My focus is on how education came under attack pursuant to Tennessee v Scopes in 1925 where the issue was Creationism v Evolution, William Jennings Bryan v Clarence Darrow, God v Science. How the New Deal put evangelicals and the wealthy got together to establish the John Birch Society.
The American People are now the last line of defense left to deal with Trump. If America does not stand up now itās āWe the Peopleā who will have lost the respect of the civilized world. Every soldier who refused to attack demonstrators at the DNC in Chicago in 1968 deserves the Medal of honor.
The responsibility rests with neitherāit is the responsibility of the German people....Your so-called Master Race has demonstrated that it is master only of crime, cruelty and sadism. You have lost the respect of the civilized worldā.
This statement comes from a American Colonel to the townspeople of Gardelegen. āThe German people have been told that stories of German atrocities were Allied propaganda. Here, you can see for yourself. Some will say that the Nazis were responsible for this crime. Others will point to the Gestapo...
came upon a giant brick barn near Gardelegen, Germany. The barn was still smoldering. There were, nearby concentration camps where some 1000 prisoners had been taken to the site of the barn and forced inside. The hay in the barn had been doused with gasoline and lit up.
Time for Ken Burns or Steven Spielberg to do what they do best and tell the kind of story that focuses on Trump's issue with the accountability of real credible history. Such as this in April of 1945: My uncle was a member of the 9th Army, in World War II. He, and members of the Ozark Division
Lincoln: "A house divided against itself, cannot stand..." There is no accident to why and how our house is being divided.
I am focused on James Madison. I am wondering how he would perceive this moment. In his day representative government embodied all classes, all people. He had no way of knowing that extreme wealth was the future. That the wealthy would decide to purchase control over the legislative process.
Mark R. Levin loves that fairytale. Ignores the fact, that in August of 1980 his boss, Reagan gave a State's Rights speech in the same county in Mississippi, where Civil Rights workers James Chaney, Andrew Goodman, and Michael Schwerner, were murdered. The same 1964 year Reagan become a Republican.
This is likely how Trump will end up justifying nationwide martial law. The minute any ICE officers are killed or injured, simply because they deliberately refuse to properly identify themselves or more to the point account for themselves. Trump will officially be allowed to establish his kingdom.
This event ended the Vietnam War. In 1971 the release of the Pentagon Papers. Followed by SCOTUS New York Times v Nixon decision. Nixon and Reagan discuss a too liberal SCOTUS. Nixon's Plumbers & Watergate. Nixon resigns to avoid impeachment. Ford pardons him. SCOTUS 2024, allows Trump immunity.
A man with Nixon tattooed on his back must know what he is talking about. A man who espouses the "cheat to win" formula that has Americans pitted against each other. That needs divisive division to help corporations maintain control over the legislative, executive, judicial, and political process.
Flynn pictured with Jill Stein and Putin in 2015. Speaks volumes about his credibility. He supported Trump got caught and got pardoned. Like Maxwell he'll do anything to avoid being held accountable, Including letting his prejudices do his thinking for him.
Maybe the most important victim of the SCOTUS decision in Bush v Gore 2000, was not just the first in a long line of efforts to steal control of the White House. Maybe it was about avoiding a timely effort to head off the climate disaster we are now facing.
James Madison is rolling over in his grave. It's amazing to see how the billionaire class and their millionaire minions turned to concept of small government into a major profit making machine in the form of privatization. Reagan help make these abuses of power a reality. Trump the beneficiary.
Remember, that before Senator Joe McCarthy Roy Cohn did legal work for Meyer Lansky. Richard Nixon, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, and of course Rupert Murdoch.
Bolton needs to account for the fact, that he chose to write a book rather than testify against Trump in the first impeachment. Just like the GOP needs to account for the fact that they simply acquitted Trump. This because Congress failing impeach Nixon and Ford pardoned him ending an investigation.
that the separation of governmental powers is central to our constitution, and that it is emphatically the province and duty of the judiciary to say what the law is, not what it should be.ā Trump v US, 2024, the immunity decision is an outgrowth of what conservative extremists call "Originalism".
the Federalist Society. āFounded in 1982, the Federalist Society for Law and Public Policy Studies is a group of conservatives and libertarians dedicated to reforming the current legal order. We are committed to the principles that the state exists to preserve freedom,
Nixon: [laughing] Who knows? Reagan: [laughing] No. Nixon: Letās hope the good guys live longerā. By itself, this conversation between Reagan and Nixon on about the Supreme Court does not mean very much. Until 1982 during the first years of the Reagan Administration with the creation of
and the other is. But Smith, you know, has got a terrific record: chairman of the [California] Board of Regents, and so forth. And as [John N] Mitchell will tell you, he was right in it and one of those other guysā¦what the heck? They canāt live forever. Reagan: [laughing] No.
Nixon: Well, let me say, heās at the right age and he is right up there on consideration. Our problem was that we had to take one southerner. It was Powell. And I couldnāt take two corporate lawyers. Reagan: Yeah. Nixon: You see the problem? Reagan: Yeah. Nixon: Heās a corporate lawyer
and [William H] Rehnquist is probably the---is probably a strong young guy---well, heās not too damn young, heās 47---but probably heāll be the strongest man on the court. Reagan: Oh, good. My heart was, of course, set on Smith. [Nixon acknowledges] ---out here. Heās a hell of a guy.
and they are just squealing like hell. This---well, you know, we, as you know, we ran Mildred [L] Lillie by you and [chuckles] we have in mind [William French] Smith for another one. But these two, you can bank on. Our liberal friends---[Lewis F] Powell [Jr] of Virginia is just a great fellow
Reagan: It was a load of crap. [Nixon acknowledges throughout] The old man---I wish to hell he [unclear]--- Nixon: Oh, incidentally, I want---I think you should know, on another subject, that weāve got two terrific nominees for the Supreme Court. They are tough, strong, conservative,
Reagan and Nixon focuses on the Supreme Court. From the Nixon White House Tapes Transcript, October 26th, 1971. Nixon: Well there are all sorts of dinners, you know. Reagan: Yeah. Oh, out here [Earl] Warren made a speech at one the other night. Nixon: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
Ted Cruz continues to pretend to be a Senator. When, and I mean when, Trump and ICE succeed in allowing the massacre of Americans consistent with the Kent State Massacre May 4th, 1970. My bet is Ted will be there to aid and abet it.
In the 60s and 70s it was Nixon's silent majority. Then the Kent State Massacre May 4th, 1970. That's when the silent majority spoke. Nixon resigned to avoid impeachment. The Vietnam War ended. Congress should have impeached him. Ford pardoned him to stop an investigation. Result is Trump and MAGA.
May 4th, 1970, Kent State University "Tin soldiers and Nixon's coming, We're finally on our own, This summer I hear the drumming, Four dead in Ohio" from Ohio by Crosby, Stills, Nash, & Young. This was a major catalyst that would bring about the end of Nixon and the end of the Vietnam War.
In 2016 I learned that Trump was tied to Nixon. Thru Roy Cohn, Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Roger Ailes, Rupert Murdoch, and Ronald Reagan. I raised concern. In October 1971, was a conversation between Nixon and Reagan. They spoke about SCOTUS preferences. In 1982 the Federalist Society was created.
The billionaire class and their millionaire minions operate as if they have the right to be treated as sovereign. To dictate and control the legislative, executive, judicial, and political agenda of the country. We the People are sovereign and they are supposed to work for us.
Starting 100 years ago when Tennessee v Scopes, Creationism v Evolution, William Jennings Bryan v Clarence Darrow, God v Science was broadcast to the country. It was a first for radio in 1925. The next year Father Coughlin took to the airwaves in response. Education has been under attack since.
"It was the worst of times, it was the best of times...Message Spock?... It is a far, far better thing I do than I have ever done before. A far better resting place I go to than I have ever known".
A favorite film is Alice's Restaurant. Arlo Guthrie. I didn't understand it then. Was raised a military brat. I turned 18 October of 1972. I was fool enough to vote for Nixon. I joined the Navy 1973. My parents divorced. I was kicked out 1974. Nixon resigned. Eventually I went to prison. I survived.
It is evident based on events taking place in the Texas State Senate that the SCOTUS chose to undermine the Voting Rights Act when America elected a Black Man POTUS. Shelby v Holder 2013. What amazes me is Justice Thurgood Marshall was replaced by Clarence Thomas. Why? Biblical Misogyny.
If America does not stand up now itās āWe the Peopleā who will have lost the respect of the civilized world.
it is the responsibility of the German people....Your so-called Master Race has demonstrated that it is master only of crime, cruelty and sadism. You have lost the respect of the civilized worldā. The American People are the last line of defense left to deal with Trump.

There were, nearby concentration camps where some 1000 prisoners had been taken to the site of the barn and forced inside. The hay in the barn had been doused with gasoline and lit up. This statement comes from a American Colonel to the townspeople of Gardelegen.
My uncle was a member of the 9th Army, 102nd (Ozark) Infantry Division, 406th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Battalion, K Company. In April of 1945, he, and members of the Ozark Division came upon a giant brick barn near Gardelegen, Germany. The barn was still smoldering.
We appear to see Islamic extremism for what it is religious misogyny. But in America where conservative corporate evangelical extremism is regarded as patriotic Biblical Misogyny is treated as masculinity.
The nonsense playing out in the Texas Senate this very moment speaks to that. I'm watching all this madness and the one thing I have to say about what I am see coming from Governor Newsom is that the final say should come from the voters. In Texas it is clear that the GOP fears their voters.
Agreed.
I call it deliberate and well funded chaos. The billionaire class and their millionaire minions who have purchased control over the legislative, executive, judicial, and political process to pit Americans against each other. To sow political discord and demand control over content.
Eisenhower spoke about the Military-Industrial Complex. My research has shown me, that corporations in the form of the Military-Industrial Complex resented FDR and the New Deal. For calling them to account. Privatization is the vehicle that drives the Military-Industrial Complex.
This is religious misogyny. This is what Trump and ilk call masculinity. The need to hide one's identity is verification that the fear of getting caught is more important hold one's self to account.
