Wow.I did not know Tom Waits did spoken word. This is just eerily spot on. Thanks!

Fear. News has always used fear as a tool to gain audience. Right wing media took that tool to new heights, even lying..
Fox, OAN, podcasters like Owen, Bannon, Carlson.
Awaken their fears. Stir the pot. Provide a simplistic answer.

Miller got SO right how fear, real or imagined, brings out the worst in people.

Short of giving up citizenship and moving to another country, dodging accountability is their only option going forward.

Oh, wait. There is Truth Telling combined with mea-culpa and throwing themselves on the mercy of congress and/or the courts.

Not holding my breath.

Good people have never been able to accurately imagine Trump vice.
That has been his strength.

Destructive and moral together is an oxymoron, as I see it.
Which, honestly, is a good descriptor for Mr. Vance’s own morals. Oxymoronic.

What a note for history. What a legacy.

You forgot low/no vaccines, polluted water, air and soil, and men/boys fighting with each other over “spoils”.

May this be the year our U.S Cockwomble-in-Chief becomes permanently impotent.

My understanding is that much of the trump vote was an “own the libs”, anti-democrat vote. Fear/hatred built over decades by far right media, and used by GOP.
Point being, most are afraid of progressives, liberals and dems and probably at best, will just stay home.

“Life is moments”.
I’m stealing that for my New Year’s toast.

Chaos creates confusion. Doubt. frustration.
This is their only tool.

There’s at least one reason.
“We” have for too long given over moral responsibility to churches/synagogues/mosques etc. because their reps declare an ultimate moral authority.
But all should. be subject to the same laws and public scrutiny of civil society.

Important to give voice to these girls and women.
It seems children are so unprotected in such communities, particularly when the religious “umbrella” of the community makes others think they are safe.

youtube removed it, but
here's the 60 minutes cecot video part 1 of 5 - recorded/uploaded by and all credit to @jasonparis.bsky.social

I just reduced background noise, chopped the 14 minutes into 3 minute segments each compressed under 100 mb for bsky's limits, cropped and rotated a few degrees for easier viewing on here

Free speech inspires, encourages and invites dialogue.
“Monologue” here; a polite word for rant, soapbox, screed, diatribe—handcuffs a listener to the bloated and tone-deaf indulgence of one person.

like the Epstein Files, this will gain the attention of more people now than if they’d just aired it.
Censorship has its own magnification.

I was thinking some kind of cognitive dissonance.

Yes. Except instead of “dismantle” use the word shutdown, or even just stop.

WaPo knows what it’s’ doing. And what its’ doing is aiding and abetting.
December 21, 2025 at 2:15 PM
At this point, yes. It’s what they don’t say that’s hanging them.
