My political thoughts on Trump dodging a bullet People tell me to unplug; I did for two years: it was awful. People say "unplug!" Me: You want me be deaf, dumb and blind? I do not have political clout, nor legal networks, nor financial influence.  What I have is my Art-- and that will be enough.

 

Let's not mince words this terrible day:  the Supreme Court rolled out the red carpet for Donald Trump,  bowing and motioning him to walk into the Oval Office.  Never mind defending  the Constitution  our Democracy  other such Liberal ideals.  All hail Emperor Trump the First!

  Why we NEED to study History Historian Mary Beard contends that  Rome became a de facto empire due to territorial expansion too vast to be effectively governed by a democratic republic So the territorial empire created the first emperors to fill a political void IMO This is frightening  the USA is rapidly expanding its holdings  (military installations) satellite nations We cannot decide how to effectively administer them Could this be why we are facing the threat of Emperor Donald Trump I? IMO This upcoming election is not whether the USA will become an empire or a republic But rather what direction the Empire of the United States will take. Or to put it more bluntly: The 1% want their empire and will stop at nothing to get it.

Every time he's losing a court case he then runs as fast as his little feet can take him complains with bitter vitriol that he's the victim extols his followers to violence And there are more civil and criminal cases to come far surpassing R. Reagan for political corruption Green Eagle on D. Trump's "win" in New Hampshire 'So, DeSantis dropped out.   My guess at that point was that Trump and Haley would pretty much split DeSantis' 22 points,  giving each 11 points,  so the final result of the New Hampshire race should have been something like this:  Ha...

  All these ammosexuals running around itching to drag iron and kill all they disapprove of. So why are we all still alive? Because of the Constitution, baby. The one thing the Orange God-King wants to get rid of after he's elected. Cannot emphasize this enough: Balloon Juice: Eternal Fascism: The Key Elements Umberto Eco's seminal text on the threat of Ur-Fascism. From Green Eagle : 'The Civil War was about freedom.   Nikki Haley was absolutely right about that.   She only got one thing wrong.   It was about the freedom of black people not to be owned by white people, not the freedom of white people to own black people. Apparently, to people like Nikki Haley, freedom and slavery were not inconsistent.   Just as long as the right people were free and the right people were slaves.' I cannot believe Nikki Haley can utter such a blatant lie: We all know this is totally false, completely untrue. The GOP 2024 campaign is to restore racism as a cor...
