My new years wish is that Karma comes around to everyone in its most deserving form - good or bad. It's time for some sort of reckoning don't you think?

This, too, shall pass? If history does repeat itself, then Mr. Tisdall's opinion piece is giving me hope. After all, having hope drives us to action after all. Read this and believe.

Through the lens of history, Trump's legacy will be more of a blotch than a Maga masterpiece | Simon Tisdall
Take this hopeful thought into 2026: the tyrants we endure always falter, and their ‘seismic’ upheavals are usually false dawns, says Guardian foreign affairs commentator Simon Tisdall

Just finished watching the Netflix documentary "Cover-Up", an insightful look at the outstanding investigative journalist Seymour M. Hersh. His historic breakthrough stories from My Lai to Iraq, corporate misdeeds and CIA shenanigans, have been both praised and maligned. A must-see for our times.🤔

With all the ridiculousness coming out of Washington D.C., you would think I've had my fill of politics. But, Netflix is now showing the legendary, show me how a real administration works, television series, The West Wing!

Has anyone considered the Afghani lone gunman who traveled cross-country to assassinate two Guardsman may have had a motive centered around an incident in his native land during the war? With this Guard unit in particular? Intriguing, yet we may never know. Blame the Dems or antifa of course.

Is the Democratic party embracing Bernie Sanders-style politics? | Dustin Guastella www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Many valid points here.
Concessions among Democratic party factions and recognition- ergo, accountability - of our own party's billionaire elite, are a good place to start.

Channel surfing this morning and gleaned some words of wisdom from Ward Cleaver to a young Beaver on the subject of bullies. "You beat them by never becoming like them."
Timeless advice appropo for present circumstances, wouldn't you say? 🤔

With all the political craziness and the Orange Idiot's predictable unpredictability, finding escapism in watching an intense and violent TV drama is surprisingly cathartic! It's so sad that our reality is scarier.

Watch......
ICE can't get the peaceful protesters to cross the line so one piss ant ICE cosplayer grabbed the smallest woman & yanked her over the line......
Then the shooting starts
This video from Portland is a metaphor for what is going on in America. ICE trying so hard to get Americans to cross a line and if they don't, dragging them across the line and violently attacking.

If you haven't yet, you MUST read Bernie Sanders' opinion piece in today's Guardian.
