The Donald J. Trump Fetish

Revealing what is actually on the Bedminster Tapes brings up once again a point that has been examined every since Donald Trump questionably won the presidency. What on earth could convince so many people that he is a suitable choice for U.S. President.

Now that it becomes increasingly clear that he took classified documents, held onto them, lied about them, obstructed justice around them, and seemingly disseminated them - all things that make him the highest form of security risk - how can he possibly continue to be the frontrunner for President within the Republican Party?

What is it at the heart of the American soul that continues to have a fetish for this lying, conning, disingenuous, security risk, immoral kind of man? This indicates a deep malaise in our system, in our people, in our system of government, in everything.

How do we root this out, beyond the case of Donald J. Trump?

We better get hard at work on that one. And our leaders, particularly Democrats, better do a much better job of presenting the truth and the right way to go on all cylinders. Speaking Truth to Power. Isn't that the job of a politician, as much as or perhaps even more than the act of legislating?

Republican Party - Party of Lawlessness and Disorder and Authoritarianism

[link:https://www.nationalreview.com/news/hutchinson-criticizes-loyalty-pledge-requirement-for-gop-debate/|

In light of the recent complaints in the Republican Party about having to sign a loyalty oath to support the Republican Nominee, no matter what, it is increasingly clear that the Republican Party is actually the party of Lawlessness and Disorder and Authoritarianism.

What can possibly be debated about that? Isn't this a satisfactory way to label them that would surely and eventually make an impact of anyone who still has the capacity for awareness of reality and rational thought? (I know, we could despair at the existence of same, but you got to point things out! That is the nature of reality and awareness. That is the job of preachers and yes, politicians. It doesn't prove itself.)

Party of Lawlessness and Disorder and Authoritarianism or Making You Do What You Don't Want to Do


I like it. I think it sticks, even as much as it stinks.

Would you like to live in Russia?

Absolutely the way to go in picturing the Republican Party in upcoming elections

Would you like to live in Russia?
No truth, only propaganda.
Restrictions on free speech and protest.
No fair elections.
Live in fear.
Atrocities committed without penalty.
Essentially a police state ruled by one man.

Have you not noticed a trend in that direction in the United States?

Guess who is responsible?

The Republicans! Who openly support Putin and call him a genius.

Would you want to live in Russia?
If you don't, then VOTE DEMOCRATIC.

A possible silver lining in the Ukraine tragedy - a tragedy in the making for Putin and his fans

Here is the sad truth.
Putin, besides being crazy determined and out of his mind and a demented killer terrorist, has most probably "fallen victim to his own propaganda". Launching an attack that appears to be a miscalculation, one that is horribly and tragically destructive to not only Ukraine and Ukrainians but also to Putin and Russia and hopefully to as many of those who consider themselves his fans as possible.

That is from this article on Alternet.
[link:https://www.alternet.org/2022/03/russia-2656961867/?utm_source=&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=10057|

What merits further observation is that it is not only his own propaganda that may foil him, but the SUCCESS OF HIS PROPAGANDA IN THE UNITED STATES. That is really the clincher. That his propaganda content and propaganda techniques, honed for decades, could reduce the United States to a civil warring non-democracy (at least practically, and only to be saved if we fight against this tide) gave him too much pride and confidence. And the Ukrainian people (God bless their hearts and protect them from harm) with their courage and ability to stand up for principles are not only putting us to shame but showing the world how it is done. You can bloody the nose of a tyrant, who is trying to rule you with brute force and other odious schtuff, but only if you stand up as if nobody is watching and you just don't give a fig - because it simply is the right thing to do.

Can't we all think of some sports franchise (Bulls or Lakers or Celtics or others) who seems absolutely unbeatable for a time. They would never be defeated. Until they were. And then until they were consistently. And then until they were consistently until they faded into the past, only to possibly rise again later in another incarnation.

So that is with evil. So that is with misdirection, with lies, with propaganda, with dishonesty. It will always raise its ugly head. But it can be defeated. We can bloody its nose, even defeat it, even put it back in its place.

We may have to do that here too. We should do it. Every single day and every time we see such terrorism and lies and bullying and propaganda practiced. Standing up for high principles like true democracy and true and free expression of the will of the people (through honest and fair and inclusive voting, for instance) and true freedom and true unity in this United States. We can do it. And our elected representatives can do it. But if we don't do it soon, like now, and consistently, then perhaps we can expect the civil unrest or war or autocratic rule that we see as a possibility before us. Stand up now. As you can. How you can. Whenever you can.

Trauma, Healing, Support - Resource

Tough times.
Everyone, let's face it, in this country and elsewhere has been traumatized.
We know what it's like.
We know how it feels.
In fact, sometimes it's silent, hidden.
Any time in your life that creates overwhelm can create trauma.

Wanted to share a method for dealing with trauma. And for healing. And sharing. And creating a global community that lives beyond trauma. Worth looking into, if it resonates with you.

❤️🙏

Pretty sure this is gonna do it. Netflix and Russia. See photo.



Believe me, I'm all in favor of this, as well as any measure that applies pressure.
No telling how much this will influence Russian public. Certainly would be noticed in this country.

Statement was just tongue in cheek. Not a terrible place to put this tongue.

Be well.
