Music lover, business adventurer, and generally thoughtful.
Democrats benefit from Citizens United. The party chose not to demand a 14.3 disqualification proceeding. Democrats seek power and personal wealth through office. There is not enough purity of intent in politicians to expect justice. The electorate is often weak thinking and disinterested in truth.

Manufacturing crises is a strategic initiative. Crisis leads to the engagement of the military on our homeland. The end game is fear of the U.S. military by we the people. Freedom pays the ultimate price.

On Threads yesterday, I made a statement politely challenging Joe Biden for the nomination of Garland and his tolerance of inaction by Garland. I was told that I am “clueless” and “delusional” for suggesting that President Biden could have done better and more. Today, Biden agrees with me. Magical.

It’s new to me. It might be Pillsbury Doughboy slang.

Sadly, Americans are too self-centered and lazy to stand up for what is right.

I was so worried about “rubber stamp” legislation during the second Trump presidency. This is a little reassuring.

It is hard for me not to be angered by how money just like that of the NRA has been able to buy not just influence, but actual legislation. Looking back, Citizens United was a heartbreaking moment in history.

In my opinion, one important way to fight this battle is with money. A centralized entity has to start building a war chest to fight actions like forming DOGE to circumvent Constitutional authorities and staffing a cabinet with corrupt members. The courts need to be engaged and that takes money.

Andy, I am struck with the thought that the way destroy an enemy is to attack on all possible fronts. Americans must decide who the real enemy is right now.

Personally, I believe that advanced civilizations fly past this planet with doors securely locked for safety.

I never contemplated a world where truth would be subject to a toll.

Or, announce the delay of the inauguration until the alleged crimes against our democracy by Trump can be judged by a jury of his peers.

I wish I knew. I am not law-trained, so it would be unfair of me to provide direction. There are great minds here and hopefully someone will respond to your question.

I am also concerned about the election interference that existed. Tenet Media and the Russian propaganda machine are examples. Musk spending 270 million to buy political access is alarming and demands scrutiny. A competent AG would at least open an immediate investigation into criminal interference.

The number of people who discount January 6, 2021, as a non-event or a peaceful protest is literally astonishing. I watched it unfold and I know what happened. I also know who was responsible. The Beer Hall Putsch is the perfect comparison.

The 24-hour news cycle is a hungry beast. Apparently factual content and objectivity are not enough to feed the monster.

Mia, I was expressing a legitimate opinion in a polite manner. As for the legitimacy of my opinion, the ongoing public debate shows clearly the handling of the pardon is a matter of great interest and still a current topic. I said nothing ridiculous.
