"Trump’s campaign of pervasive lying succeeded in eroding public confidence in an election in which there was no evidence of significant fraud."

Facebook wouldn’t allow me to post an article that had a #politics tag on it yesterday. Claimed it was against Community Standards. But this? They actually put this crap on my timeline. Clowns.
Sometimes a problem is more valuable than its solution. Immigration is on them now.
"We have no troubles here. Here, life is beautiful. The girls are beautiful. Even the orchestra is beautiful
-Emcee in Cabaret.
Yesterday's Supreme Court ruling was cloaked in the same darkness that the character in Cabaret echoed so well. Frightening.

"There is indeed a sense of power and entitlement coming from MAGA Republicans as they impose new limits on their fellow Americans and call those constraints freedom."

Alito's cavalier attitude relit an anger I thought I left well behind me. Judicial reform is so overdue - for lots of reasons.

A commencement worth the read. The man isn't perfect. Unlike his opponent, he doesn't claim to be perfect. You can't read his words and not believe he's working for all of us. The contrast is stark.

"Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.) is sitting in the defense section between Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) and Eric Trump."
Yeah, he surrounds himself with the best people.

People's obsessions for the good old days just leaves me perplexed. As Carly Simon once sang - "these are the good old days."
Stupid #politics.

The only cure for gullible is knowledge. Interesting article in today's Washington Post on how AI could be used to disrupt an election. Watch the video on this page - amazingly deceptive and not real.

Thoughts and prayers are clearly not working. Hey Congress, Hey Senate - what else you got? What’s your price? Can we outbid the fucking NRA?
Wow - the hits just keep on coming for TFG. His star witness just admitted to perjury in the Engoron case.

The normalization of Trump as a candidate for this nation's office is a rerun from past elections. I just cancelled my Washington Post subscription due to another puff piece written to discourage voters from taking part in this country's most important election ever. Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.
