Schumer Proves How Useless Dems Have Become

For years I have been saying and writing about how useless Dems have become…..their major concern is money not the people they pretend to care about.

Now the Senate minority leader has proven my point….

Progressive critics of Senate Minority Chuck Schumer had fresh reasons to speak out Sunday after the powerful New York Democrat said that “one of many of [his] jobs” in the US Senate was to fight for ongoing taxpayer-funded military and financial assistance to the Israeli government, a position that has been the focus of growing protest among rank-and-file party members and the public at large in the face of Israel’s brutal genocide against the Palestinian people of Gaza.

“I have many jobs as [Senate] leader… and one is to fight for aid to Israel — all the aid that Israel needs,” Schumer said at a gathering of Jewish leaders and community members in New York on Sunday.

“I will continue to fight for it.,” Schumer continued. “We delivered more security assistance to Israel, our ally, than ever, ever before.”

According to Jacob Kornbluh, who provided footage of the remarks while reporting for The Forward, Schumer told the audience that his support for Jewish security funding will only continue growing under his leadership, calling it his “baby.”

“As long as I’m in the Senate,” Schumer said, “this program will continue to grow from strength to strength, and we won’t let anyone attack it or undo it.”

Warning Strong Words To Follow

Seriously you asshole….your job is not fucking Israel….your goddamn job is to serve this country not some sandy shithole half a world away.

This is the problem with congressional Dems….they are owned by lobbyists and special interests and we can thank that douchebag Clinton for this situation.

Time to take Schumer out and put him to pasture with the rest of the manure.

People Stop fucking trusting Democrats….they have not done anything substantial in decades….they are spineless and worthless lumps of crap.

Schumer is the poster child for how your mean NOTHING to these assholes….you are only needed for your worthless vote and then cast aside for the buckets of cash that awaits them once they are sworn in….

That is not my damn idea of representation….how about you?

+++Before some mindless asshole accuses me of antisemitism…let me state now….I do not give a shit about religious leanings….belief whatever you choose +++

Find a candidate that will do something constructive and not these fools that only see dollar signs or have some lame ass religious agenda.

I have had it with this puppets….none will see my vote…..Hell I would sooner vote for my dog than anyone of these worthless turds.

I apologize for the language but there are times that it needs to be said in anger.

Is The “Groove” Gone?

For years Uncle Don has had his groove on and convinced the mentally challenged that he was somehow invincible but in the last month or so that air is slowly eroding.

Much has been written about his mental lapses (the best word to keep with civility)….but all that is hearsay and as such needs to be studied….but since the last election when his candidates took it in the butt Donny has been reverting to old tactics.

President Donald Trump’s iron-fisted grip on his party appears to be slipping in ways unseen since the immediate aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol. Back then, he quickly reasserted himself as the singular, dominant force within the Republican Party, and he may do so again.

But the extraordinary rebukes and headwinds the president is now facing — much of it from within his own party — are revealing a GOP beginning to reckon with a post-Trump future. That dynamic crystallized after voters surged to the polls to support Democratic candidates for statewide races in New Jersey, Virginia, Georgia and Pennsylvania, shattering expectations of close contests and signaling that even Trump can’t defy political gravity forever.

Trump has spent the days since recycling old grievances, berating members of his own party and choosing sides in a burgeoning intra-MAGA debate about antisemitism and bigotry within the GOP coalition.

Asked about the momentum shift, a White House spokesperson said Trump had “delivered on many of the promises he was elected to enact” — from border security to ending taxes on tips to “affordability issues.”

“As the architect of the MAGA movement, President Trump will always put America First. Every single day he’s working hard to continue fulfilling the many promises he made and he will continue delivering,” spokesperson Abigail Jackson said.

In addition to the election romp, here’s a look at some recent brush-offs, brushbacks and breakups that have threatened Trump’s aura of invincibility.

Is this a good sign?

Is this a sign that sanity is slowly returning to the political discourse?

Does this bode badly for the upcoming mid-terms?

What About Project 2025?

With all the chaos around Donny’s tariff stuff the implementation of Project 2025 has gone under-reported, an agenda that Donny disavowed during his campaign saying he had no idea what it was or what it was about, but so far under his leadership parts of it are being put into place just the way the Heritage Foundation wanted.

But what do we have so far?

As Trump begins his second term, his administration is rolling out Project 2025 — a detailed playbook aimed at reshaping the federal government, U.S. policy, and global posture. Developed as a sweeping roadmap during his first term’s aftermath, Project 2025 is now the blueprint driving his administration. Every agency, from Homeland Security to the EPA, is involved. The strategy? Systematically undo Biden-era policies, reduce regulatory oversight, centralize executive power, and instill a more conservative agenda across federal operations.

Here’s where things stand so far:

The Trump administration has wasted no time. By early 2025, dozens of Project 2025 objectives were marked “completed,” fundamentally shifting U.S. policy in critical areas:

Civil Rights and DEI Rollbacks

Eliminated the Office of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion at the Treasury.

Revoked Biden’s Gender Policy Council.

Abolished DEI offices across federal agencies including the Pentagon and EPA.

If you want to check on what else is happening or what is on tap then there is a tracker for Project 2025….https://www.project2025.observer

Trump’s Project 2025 Is Already Changing America — See What’s Done, What’s Next, and What Could Be Coming

There is one part of this authoritarian plan that is not fairing so well….

If it’s not enough that Elon Musk’s DOGE has been taking a chainsaw to the federal labor force, about three weeks ago, the Trump administration announced that it is going to begin implementing “Schedule F,” the creepy huxleyan name for the Executive Order they produced at the end of the first term to make it easier to fire civil service employees deemed disloyal. President Biden threw it in the trash, but, as expected, it’s back. After all, it’s part of Project 2025 architect Russell Vought‘s tools of the trade, and now that he’s back at the Office of Management and Budget he’s been itching to use it.

It’s estimated that 50,000 people will be subject to the law once they are re-classified from civil service protections to “at will” policy employees. It’s pretty obvious that a witch hunt for personnel that any rando MAGA appointee suspects of being a turncoat (or just a Democrat) will soon be fired. The whole idea was to fill the jobs with the kind of people Russell Vought thinks have America’s best interests at heart. That means white, Christian nationalists.

https://www.salon.com/2025/05/14/one-major-part-of-project-2025-is-falling-apart/

Sadly that seems to be about the only part that is not popular with the supporters….seriously….the only part?

You there still part of the public that like what this plan is doing to this country and the rights of its citizens.

This plan needs a plan to stop this erosion of rights.

Time to become a ‘citizen activist’….get the Hell involved…..NOW!

100 Days–And Counting

The big day is here!

Today is 29May25 and it is the first hundred days of the Little Donny Show….as usual he has plans for this auspicious day….

President Trump will hold a rally in Macomb County, Michigan, next Tuesday to celebrate his first 100 days in office, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt announced Wednesday. This will be Trump’s first big rally since his inauguration and his first visit to Michigan since winning the battleground state in the 2024 presidential election, NBC News reports. Before the rally, Trump will be in Rome for Pope Francis’ funeral on Saturday, the first foreign trip of his second term. “President Trump is excited to return to the great state of Michigan next Tuesday, where he will rally in Macomb County to celebrate the FIRST 100 DAYS!” Leavitt posted on X. She added, per the Detroit News, “Michiganders are benefitting from President Trump’s agenda to revitalize … our economy and secure the southern border, and the best is yet to come!”

I am still working on just what the Hell he means by ‘the best is yet to come’.

But what is Donny’s first 100 days really look like?

While the mainstream media was copiously tracing the physical and mental decline of President Joe Biden during the presidential campaign of 2024, Donald Trump’s decline was largely ignored or downplayed. The media seemed obliged to track Biden’s every move and stumble. Conversely, the media seemed obliged to ignore the worst of Trump’s faltering executive decision-making, but—even worse—believed it was their duty to make Trump’s irrational utterances appear to be rational.

There are already obvious political differences between the first term Trump and the second term Trump, but the cognitive decline of the Donald cannot be explained solely by the fact that there were a few rational advisers in the White House the first time around, and simply no competent advisors or leaders on hand for the second term. Economic advisers, such as Gary Cohn and Secretary of the Treasury Steve Mnuchin, played a very important moderating role in the first term. The three and four-star generals in the first term were a particular surprise, doing their best to calm the roiled waters of the White House and the roiled behavior of the president himself.

https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/04/22/trumps-first-100-days-meaner-more-mendacious-more-unstable/

Another look at Donny’s first 100 days from a Moderate point of view…..

There are stories everywhere this weekend around the theme, as a CNN headline has it, that “Trump’s approval at 100 days is lower than any president in at least seven decades.” If you want to dig through some of the numbers, in addition to the CNN poll conducted by SSRS, there is an ABC News/Washington Post/Ipsos poll, an Associated Press/NORC Centre for Public Affairs poll, and a New York Times/Siena poll among others.

A president committed to legitimate democratic processes would be concerned.

Though numbers will obviously vary from poll to poll, the story is the same. As per the CNN,
“Trump’s 41% approval rating is the lowest for any newly elected president at 100 days dating back at least to Dwight Eisenhower – including Trump’s own first term.” A mere 22% approve of the job he is doing, and “twice as many, 45%, say they strongly disapprove.

Notably, the partisan divide is as real as ever with “86% of Republicans approving and 93% percent of Democrats disapproving.” Perhaps crucial, though, is that his support among independents has declined considerably, now at about 31%, which, as these results indicate, match “his first-term low point with that group and about the same as his standing with them in January 2021.”

You don’t win national elections without attracting a very healthy swath of independents and, at least at the moment, Trump is failing to do that. Of course, Trump is not supposed to run again, and let’s stick with that assumption for the moment, so does he care about the electoral prospects of the Republican Party either in the 2025 mid-terms or in the 2028 general election? All evidence suggests this man is one of the biggest narcissists in an occupation that breeds them, so not caring what happens once he is gone makes a certain sense. But does he really want to deal with a Democratic House in the final two years of his term with all of the congressional investigations that could lead to? And while taking the Senate is going to be a harder hill to climb for Democrats in 2026, if Trump’s numbers continue to slide, there could be opportunities beyond Maine and North Carolina for Democrats.

Trump’s first hundred days and the terrible, horrible, no good, very bad polls

Sorry to say but the ship of state is headed for the rocks and asll the captain can do is smirk and soldier on.

Seriously?

It has only been 100 days….it feels like a lot longer than that….

I cannot wait for the next 100 days….(sarcasm without being vulgar).

But for those readers that are interested here is the possibilities we face for his next 100 days….

The official said there is more to come, with lots of “torpedoes under the water.”

That includes more executive action, a hallmark of Trump’s first 100 days, which the official said would continue like a “snowball rolling downhill.” He said the administration was still working on a travel ban for citizens from multiple countries.

Courts have stymied some of Trump’s actions, drawing scorn from his allies and White House rebukes that those judges are thwarting the will of the head of the executive branch and the people who elected him.

While Trump will continue to wage war with the courts and a government bureaucracy that his team views as too bloated and out of line with his world view, another official said he would put more focus in his next 100 days on trade deals and peace talks.

The president launched an all-out trade war on numerous countries this year before putting reciprocal tariffs largely on hold to allow for negotiations with individual nations. His administration hopes to secure agreements within 90 days.

Democrats Have A Plan

After having their asses handed to them in the last election the Dems have started formulating a new plan to balance the sheet.

The Dems lost support among their staunchest supports of years past….

What happened in this year’s election was not some kind of flowering of American fascism, but a rebellion against a hated, out-of-touch Democratic Party elite.

The primary driver of the election outcome was an angry working-class rejection of the status quo and deep cost-of-living crisis proudly presided over by the Democrats. Traditional Democratic voters who had faced sky-high grocery prices, gas, rent, alongside crumbling social infrastructure were told to buck up and vote for Kamala Harris, or else. They were told to ignore the genocide in Gaza, and worse yet to vote for the genocider. The only thing the Democrats offered to working people was a recycled anti-Trump campaign.

Predictably, the Democrats hemorrhaged working-class support and managed to lose ground in virtually every part of their base: the Arab and Muslim American community, Black voters, Latino voters, young people, and even women.

…

Harris abandoned a raft of progressive policies that are wildly popular, some of which were featured on ballot initiatives that won by big margins in states that went for Trump. Voters approved minimum wage increases, including to $15/hour (Alaska and Missouri), expanded workers’ ability to earn paid sick leave in three states (Alaska, Missouri, and Nebraska), rejected school vouchers (Colorado, Kentucky, and Nebraska), and opted to ban anti-union captive audience meetings (Alaska).

https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/11/15/the-democrats-deserved-to-lose-1000-times-over/

I agree that the Democratic Party needs new and fresh leadership…..

The leadership of the Democratic Party deserves significant blame for the return of Donald Trump to the White House. While there were multiple factors at play, it must be acknowledged that Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and their enablers engaged in vast levels of political malpractice despite countless warnings from many key voices and constituencies.

…

If we want a Democratic Party that can produce different outcomes, we will need to hold the current party accountable for its failures. That means matching our demands for change with the force and pressure of real accountability. The Democratic leadership must itself be targeted with campaigns that highlight the principles of electoral success while punishing those responsible for the party’s continued defeats. I’m building a campaign to do exactly that, and here’s how I think we can win.

Take Out the Trash: A Proposal to Clean Up the Democratic Party

And now they have a plan or at least the beginning of a plan….

Let me say this is something that should have been done back as early as 1992 but no they had faith….and it bit them in the ass as faith has a way of doing.

But now the Dems have a plan of action (My responses will be typed in red)

With Republicans about to have control of the White House, Senate, and House, Democrats are coming to the conclusion that Washington might not be the best place to mount their comeback. Instead, the New York Times reports, elected Democrats are forming a plan to build their opposition in the states they dominate politically. In Minnesota, Attorney General Keith Ellison said his office has been readying a strategy in the event Donald Trump returned to power for more than a year. “States in our system have a lot of power,” Ellison said. “We’re entrusted with protecting people, and we’re going to do it.” Steps include:

Going to court: Hundreds of lawyers are being recruited to challenge Trump administration policies. Advocacy groups are lining up potential plaintiffs and workshopping cases to fight regulations, laws, and administrative actions that Democrats anticipate. A legal group formed after Trump’s election in 2016 has raised millions, enlisted more than 800 lawyers, and learned lessons from his first administration, per the Times. “No one was running to the courthouse on a range of things that matter to people in communities,” said Skye Perryman, CEO of Democracy Forward. “Resistance this time is a lot more about collective power building. It’s using the law and using litigation.”

This may be a little late since the last Trump admin stacked the courts in his favor)

Focusing on governors: There are 23 Democratic governors. They’ve articulated varying strategies so far. New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy suggests cooperating with Republicans where possible. “It’s a combination of fight where you need to fight, and that includes everything—legal action, a bullhorn, peaceful protests and civil disobedience,” Murphy said. “And then at the same time, we can’t close off the opportunity to find common ground.” California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker have begun preparations for confrontations, with Newsom calling a special session of the legislature to fund court fights. Pritzker and Colorado Gov. Jared Polis formed a group called Governors Safeguarding Democracy; not all Democratic governors agreed to join.

This idea is about 25 years too late

Working remotely: Strategists say they’re trying to coordinate policy among Democratic-run states and urging the party to think local. “Emerging policy experts and political organizers who want to make a difference—don’t go to Washington,” said Arkadi Gerney, urging them to go instead to capitals in blue and purple states and work to make those places great.

Again may be too late….this should have been a priority a couple of decades ago.

Check out the rest of the plan below.

The Times reports the scope of Democratic plans here.

These are good and solid ideas the problem as I see it is as I have stated it is a bit late. With the temperament of the nation as it is today these ideas may be as self-defeating as some of their ‘big’ ideas from years ago.

The ‘Lincoln Project’

Remember the days when the Lincoln Project was the opposition to the Trump GOP….a bunch of disillusions of Trump made GOP strategists run for the hills and start a campaign to defeat Trump and his minions.

How have they done so far?

Dems were excited to have some real GOP in opposition to the rising tide of fascists in the Trump circle.

When the group formed the Lincoln Project I said then that we should not get too excited for if the succeed in ridding DC of the Trump influence they would then turn their ire on the Dems.

So the question is….did the Lincoln Project pull the wool over the eyes of Dems?

I said before and now that they did…..but read on…..

The Lincoln Project, the super PAC created in late 2019 to help defeat Donald Trump in the 2020 presidential election, is one of the largest trolling operations in modern human history, designed to alter the country’s political future by getting inside—and thoroughly screwing with—the commander-in-chief’s head.

Formed and led by disenfranchised big-time Republican consultants and strategists, it produced viral ads that took the fight directly to Trump. Thanks to its blistering attacks, it became a hit with those on both sides of the political aisle, although its stratospheric ascent was interrupted by a series of bombshells that called into question the motives, and character, of the men and women behind it. Far from a feel-good fable, it turned out to be a more complex tale about activism and avarice, nobility and self-interest, loyalty and betrayal, success and scandal.

As co-founder Steve Schmidt admits, “Make no mistake: the idea that the Lincoln Project story is the story of the good people against the bad people is a very naïve take on this.”

The Lincoln Project is that warts-and-all saga, told in up-close-and-personal fashion by directors Karim Amer (The Vow) and Fisher Stevens. Immersing themselves with the group from early September 2020 (two months before the election) to February 2021, the duo’s five-part docuseries—premiering Oct. 7 on Showtime—is a multifaceted fly-on-the-wall portrait of 21st-century politics and the many gambles, compromises and duplicity it entails, all filtered through the experiences of those at the helm of the Lincoln Project. That leadership unit was announced in December 2019, and included Schmidt, George Conway, Rick Wilson (a former Daily Beast contributor), John Weaver, Jennifer Horn, Ron Steslow, Reed Galen, and Mike Madrid. All of them played key roles in the organization’s subsequent rise, even if this non-fiction account suggests that the four who were really running the show were Schmidt, Wilson, Galen, and soon-to-be-member Stuart Stevens.

At least at the outset of The Lincoln Project, such distinctions don’t seem to really matter—everyone receives an honorary “co-founder” title and are equally dedicated to their “psych-warfare campaign” against the president, whose mission is summed up by Rick Wilson: “We’re here to kick the shit out of Donald Trump.” What made the Lincoln Project unique was that this collection of disaffected Republicans were all veterans of various nasty political campaigns and had expertise in manipulative messaging and media, and thus boasted the specific skillsets required to be a thorn in Trump’s side. Consequently, it wasn’t long before their “Mourning in America” spot stoked the ire of the president, whose tweet about the group transformed it into an overnight sensation, helping it raise tens of millions, expand its staff, and become a hydra-like machine that poked the Trumpian bear in real-time on social media, developed popular commercials, and then—courtesy of Mike Madrid’s data-oriented team— strategically place them in the markets where they would have the most real-world success at pushing voters toward Joe Biden.

Who’s The ‘Socialist’ Now?

Closing Thought–26Oct21

How many years have we had to endure the lies and manure spread by the GOP about those damn socialists?

Well for at least the 50 years that I have been writing about our f*cked up politics.

Looks like the worm is turning (as they say)….

The GOP is trying desperately to convince the working class that they are the way forward…well at least for the next couple of elections….

Republican candidates running for president often start by declaring that the economy under a Democratic president is in horrible shape — a veritable “carnage” as Donald Trump put it — even though it wasn’t, and with supreme confidence declare that only they have the vision to right the ship.

Their vision — or delusion — is that cutting regulations and taxes is the key to stimulating growth. Unfortunately, the only ones who get “stimulated” are the rich who see the biggest gains from tax cuts.

I have previously shown how tax cuts have not helped the working class. Take a look at this graph. The bottom 50 percent of workers did not see any income gains during the 1980s from Ronald Reagan’s huge tax cuts enacted in 1981.

It is a smoke screen to help their corporate owners get much ‘benefits’ from the government.

Sorry sports fans but the solutions to our domestic problems whether it is poverty, hunger or homelessness will not be solved by corporate America….the real ruling party in this country.

And these problems will not be solved by Congress either….their ineffective governance is a by-product of their corporate ownership.

There are solutions but few want to think about….

Liberals and progressives would do well to understand that while class is not everything – far from it, as I shall argue below – there are still no real or lasting solutions to problems that rightly agitate them under capitalism and bourgeois democracy, that is, under the de facto material dictatorship of the capitalist class and its mode of production. Take the giant American problem of racial inequality and oppression. Does it have a certain real life of its own, one that should not simply be reduced to class in economistic ways? Sure. Of course. Go to any major US city and observe how residence and employment and the lack of both are apportioned and spaced by race. Look at the long and continuing legacies of Black chattel slavery and its ugly stepchild Jim Crow: the de facto racial apartheid, separate and unequal settlement, schooling, and investment patterns that are endemic across the United States along with racially disparate mass incarceration and felony marking and numerous other and interrelated practices and policies wired to produce savagely disparate outcomes by race. Look at the dogged denial of race and systemic white racism’s continuing central relevance in American life on the part of millions of right-wing white Amerikaners, whose politics are shaped at their core by absurd narratives of white victimization and a fear of white demographic encirclement. Race has a terrible space and life of its own in the US. Race matters. It matters a lot.

No Solutions Under Capitalism: Revolution is Required

Dems have a limo dick approach….they wait for the GOP to attack and then they get outraged and counter attack…..but their attack is a haphazard attempt to look engaged….they are not.

The GOP plays the long game on their issues and Dems sleep through their time and react when it is way too late….and there is you main problem….Dems are just as owned by corporations as the GOP….they have NO interest in bucking their donors and owners.

Dems are the biggest problems of our society…..

McConnell And Democratic Centralism

I have often said that the US Senate is where great bills go to die…….and for the past decade it is more so than normal under the leadership of McConnell….but now the GOP Senate seems to be practicing ‘democratic centralism’…….

What is that?

Democratic centralism is a practice in which political decisions reached by voting processes are binding upon all members of the political party.

“The fundamental system of the Party is democratic centralism, which emphasizes both democracy and centralism. We pursue the goal of combining the two systems together, which neither overstresses democracy to suppress centralism, nor the other way around.”

… stipulates that if individuals hold different opinions, they can keep the differences to themselves but must obey the Party’s decision in action.

Does that sound familiar in any way?

It should.

Looks like McConnell after demonizing Dems as socialist is taking a page from the playbook of Lenin.

That all directing bodies of the Party, from top to bottom, shall be elected.
That Party bodies shall give periodical accounts of their activities to their respective Party organizations.
That there shall be strict Party discipline and the subordination of the minority to the majority.
That all decisions of higher bodies shall be absolutely binding on lower bodies and on all Party members.

The members must fall into line and do what the party leadership tells it to do…..and those supposed individual loving party stooges do as they are told….no one wants to go against leadership for it could be disastrous to their long careers within the party.

Look at recent events…..McConnell has said that the main function of the GOP in the Senate is to thwart the Biden agenda…and the expects ALL GOP Senators to follow his lead and to vote against it all.

Before the fur starts to fly. I am NOT calling McConnell a Leninist….all I am doing is pointing out the similarities between DC and the McConnell agenda.

Was It A “Come To Jesus” Moment?

Opening thought–the title alone should generate some interest and most likely some negative comments.

Let the healing begin!

First it would be delusional to even consider that this situation can be “healed”.

Interesting that the Congressional Republicans are starting to call for a come together…a healing process….of our country.

And yet none seems to want to admit their complacency in the events in and around 06 January…..

Republicans have spent the past two months lying about the election being stolen from President Donald Trump and refusing to acknowledge President-elect Joe Biden as the race’s winner.

But after thousands of Trump followers took what they were saying seriously and rioted last Wednesday at the Capitol, leaving five people dead — and as Trump faces impeachment for his role in inciting that riot — those same Republicans are trying to turn the page without any accountability for the role they played in poisoning the minds of their supporters.

“It’s not healthy for the nation,” Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) said Sunday on Fox News of Trump’s possible impeachment. “I’m very concerned about where we’re at. I’m hoping we can come back together.”

https://www.vox.com/2021/1/11/22224872/trump-republican-election-lies-jim-jordan-ted-cruz

Seriously? After months, nay years of lying to the people and enabling a crazed president to flaunt our Constitution they now want us to forget their crap.

The people with the Bulwark have an excellent idea how the Repubs can help with the healing….

So let us take them at their word. Let us provide them, and their colleagues, the opportunity to becalm the troubled waters.

Here’s how I imagine it might go:

At a joint press conference, a dozen or more of the most prominent figures in the “Stop the Steal” movement gather. There’s Kevin McCarthy, Rep. Steve Scalise, Newt Gingrich, and a claque of Fox News primetime anchors. (Senators Ted Cruz and Josh Hawley are at a separate table, because no one will agree to sit with them.)

Yes, by All Means, Let the Healing Begin

I like some of their ideas but for me it does not go far enough.

I want these so-called people to suffer the way they made the country suffer.

I want them censured, a loss of ALL benefits then removed for office and banned from ever holding an office ever again.

This would apply mostly to all but the ones that need to be targeted are people like Josh Hawley the face of American fascism….

“No one other than President Donald Trump himself is more responsible for Wednesday’s [January 6^th] coup attempt at the U.S. Capitol than one Joshua David Hawley, the 41-year-old junior senator from Missouri, who put out a fundraising appeal while the siege was underway.”

Sen. Josh Hawley: The Face of New American Fascism?

This stupidity needs to stop.

But if you think for a minute that this country will heal then you are deluding yourself…..the leaders are still in Congress and still on the air…..little will change in the next four years…..and then we will fight this fight again.
