Interesting! I just posted an astrological report with my 2024 election predictions and I noticed that Vance is likely to face a good bit of scrutiny, external pressures, and emotional triggers surrounding the election. Wounds and insecurities will be highlighted

I really have no time to give history lessons.

Thank you for this blog.

I read J.D. Vance's book and it was wonderful and now to see him grasping for power and reading his position on abortion is stunning.

We met once in Buffalo where you were a speaker and we chatted briefly around some munchies the were provided.

There must be a deadly, rabid, viral infection spreading among the criminal financial 'elites' - the .001% who consider themselves the only people capable of wielding political power in the US, or indeed, anywhere on this globe. The same delusion carried Hitler to suicide in his bunker, after committing genocide and murderous warfare across Europe. The MAGA party, (no longer the enfeebled GOP) now appears to consist of self styled masters of the universe, immune to ordinary law, by reason of their clumping together their obscene wealth to extend their power and to enslave the 99 percent of humanity who are entirely disposable.

What they do not consider is that there has never been any honor among thieves, and MAGAS are nothing but thieves.. What is universally common among thieves is they are never content with what they have stolen and sooner rather than later they will "purge" their rivals in order to control every one else's wealth and power.

Do the 99% have to endure the collateral damage of criminal fascist internecine murder? Even if we vote them out - these poisonous sub-human zombies will continue to wreak havoc until they destroy the planet, even as they destroy themselves. In the final analysis it may be worth destroying homo un-sapiens, if that is the only way to rid ourselves of these rabid disease carriers.

I am , of course, open to other "final solutions.".

Well, one thing is certain -- they do turn on each other. It didn't work out so well for Trump's last VP pick, and I suspect when this one gets too ambitious, the same will happen to him. Vance is another Lonesome Rhodes waiting to implode. The minute he decides to think for himself, he'll be on the outs with his money master.

Vance is a traitor who thieves private phone data ā€¦ on top of biting public posts.

Welp, I live in Ohio, so for the next four months, I'm expecting the bar for behavior here to get lower and lower. And my own expectations will be set to high alert for shenanigans at all times. Good thing I already have a fabulously supportive community, big mouth, solid moral compass, and principles. Because in November, I'll be voting against fascism. And I'm going to be very, very vocal about it.

Hard to see this as a bad thing. Perhaps behind the facade, it means our possibly next President (less than zero chance Trump dies of old age in office) is actually somewhat aware of his surroundings. Additionally, half of the current candidates' age, which is never a bad thing in terms of cognitive function.

You have a hard time seeing why a pro fascism candidate is bad because heā€™s also young? Did I understand you correctly?

Brilliant observations as usual by Qasim Rashid. So glad this has been flagged and is being flogged. Since the weekend, the MAGA minions have been blaming the Democrats for incendiary language that Trump brought to the table as soon as he started running for office and accused President Obama (ridiculously) as being born in "Africa." (Trump couldn't even decide on a nation, but just used the entire "dark continent" as it was once called.) The delusion about who went low and who went high is par for the course, but has even been spouted by no less a flaming idiot than Marjorie Taylor Greene, who herself used vile language while attempting to call out vile language -- she of the "Jewish space laser" theory had the never-ending balls to even open her mouth. I also noticed that at first at least Trump rightly thanked law enforcement for keeping him safe; now, he's playing to his Christian Evangelicals by proclaiming it was "only God" who kept him safe. God had nothing to do with it, but now he will play the second coming of Christ right on the political stage. The shit show is about to begin. I can't believe at my age of 68 I am witnessing the fall of American democracy. Please people -- get out the blue vote in November.

At a friend's BBQ yesterday, I was surrounded by MAGA idiots who were wishing it was Biden that had been shot!!! These idiots forget that they could retire because of Social Security which these Nazis want to cut!!! God has little to do with the politicians who sold their souls to the šŸ˜ˆ

I knew it would not be too long before you would find it. How many politicians are going to sell their souls to this person? This guy is a serial liar who will say anything to appease his party and the party leader. Letā€™s get them at the ballot and assure that they lose badly.

Well, sweetheart, no wars? The current war in Ukraine started back when Catherine the Great annexed Ukraine for the Russian Empire in the 18th century. The current, current situation in Ukraine started in 2014, so you are quite mistaken there since Donny was elected in 2016 and at that time couldn't find Ukraine on a map. He did find them on the phone and tried to extort them, however. He is also in Putin's lap. The situation in Gaza really started in 1948, so I suggest you open a few history books next time you want to discuss "wars" and foreign policy. Screwing over our allies isn't foreign policy, and I doubt those regions in the world will kowtow to the GOP. They might collapse without our support, but then, don't ask their help when we're attacked by Russia or China, either. As for higher wages? My wages are higher now than in 2016. That's called progress. I had my WORST tax return under Trump and my BEST under Obama. There were NO tax breaks under Trump unless you were in the 1% of multi millionaires and billionaires. I don't drive, so I don't know about gas prices, except for the fact that the prices are set by OPEC and not politicians. It really would be communism if the government st corporate prices. As for border security, Trump had four years to build that wall that Mexico was going to pay for, and he didn't. The portion of wall he did build has been easily breeched, because it's ... wall. No, Biden's handlers aren't regulating wombs and banning books. The real fascists are banning books, banning healthcare and proposing a Christian, White, nationalist theological American Taliban. Try again, dude. The GOP is still the REAL fascists, No "maybe" needed.
