This was Flash, I rescued him from a shelter in Louisiana, he was the oldest, and too big for most people, we had four great years together. He had his own quirks, but still it broke my heart when I had to save him from pain, by letting him go 💔RIP buddy.

Thanks for your message as always, Jack. You probably figured out that my resemblance to The Real Jack Smith, in my profile pic is a sign of respect.
My actual face tends to scare people into thinking I play Sean Connery on Jeopardy 🥸
@FordJohnathan5
His largest failure in that situation was to not concede the election, and set up a transition team, which handcuffed Biden who had to abide by the timetable for withdrawing the troops

This is the biggest case to ever happen in the history of the world.
January 6th was just the visible part of the iceberg. It has to be airtight. And irreversible or you can kiss democracy goodbye

Eckhart Tolle speaks on this in his work with consciousness. Simply put Our minds are able to be influenced by the data we consume. If I listened to Maga broadcasts 24/7, I would be brainwashed. If I am uneducated also, it is even easier .
We must stay awake.

Part of the largest problem for me, is the lack of reporting on his behavior in conspiring with other countries to pay for his crimes.
The fact that he’s walking free from consequences is reprehensible!
I was 13, when I saw what happened in Dallas to JFK Turned 18, and saw what happened in Los Angeles to RFK, and the same year in Memphis, to Martin Luther King. Today I watch with horror, the crumbling of our freedoms.

Who knows what’s behind the turd colored makeup?
It’s worse than ever, at least when it was orange it was just weird, now it’s a revolting form of blackface, who’s going to tell him though 🤮
@JoJoFromJerz
It’s the guns.
and the ignorance, and the hate, and the propaganda.
But it comes down to the fact that it’s easier to get a gun and ammunition than a library card.
@MaryLTrump
This was interesting in the example of the bribery scheme, whereby the promise of an ambassadorship was made in exchange for a million dollars. The appointment of the ambassador would be an official act, even though the bribery scheme was a private matter. Make it make sense!

“Do you know one of the reasons Republicans hate those of us who root for Ukraine? Because it signals that we identify with fighting against the idea tyranny, and refusing to just “give up, and go along.”
He’s shown us who he is all along.

“To make matters worse, Kevin McCarty has failed to investigate the $2 billion that Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner got from Saudi Arabia — or the fact that Trump and his children raked in a whopping $2.4 billion while Trump was in the Oval Office. “

“All we have is each other, and if we don't take a stand for each other..now,…we are all doomed.”
I’ve tried to live this, and the best expression I ever heard was from a Unitarian Minister who said, “ imagine the world is invaded by aliens, do you stand up for us, or for them?

How to Help/2
It’s taken me too many years to understand this concept that no-one- cares…and it doesn’t matter.
But it doesn’t mean I don’t care for others.
This is the paradox of the Buddhist concept of the middle way…you only get to keep what you are willing to give ❤️
@RpsAgainstTrump
The opinion of the III district court, defined his actions, as well as his culpability, in the attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. The additional actions of not conceding the election, and the creation of a transition team, show intent,

I’m 1950, but I lived in the same place and time. Because music was the greatest link…of all , peace 4 all ✌️
Can it be that it was all so simple then
Or has time rewritten every line
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we?
Could we?

DEI IS THE NEW CRT
Critical Race Theory
Recognizes that racism is ingrained in the fabric and system of the American society. CRT identifies that these power structures are based on white privilege and white supremacy, which perpetuates the marginalization of people of color.

We have only had an actual justice department head since Merrick Garland was confirmed on March 10th, and he has to contend with all of the Drumphs that were hired as FlufferNutters.

Great piece on the reality of the border. I spent 2021 in Quartzite AZ , And near Yuma the best thing I ever did was learn about how much land is being harvested by the people who live between the two countries. Affluent Americans crossing for dental work. And Vacations.

Absolutely true, I have been speaking with various psychiatrists and psychologists about this issue for a while now, they are very much in agreement about the effects of constant stress and anxiety especially with the amount of media exposure to the breakdown of social norms.

Jack old boy,
I’m glad to see you have channeled your inner Andy Warhol, here’s a picture I remembered from days gone by…Hunter S Thompson, in a similar style…
BTW, does it hurt my voice/reach, on here to not have bought the blue check from Elon ?
