He may fumble a sentence or two but he is a man of courage, compassion, integrity, wisdom and a backbone. Trump on the other hand is a lying, morally corrupt, selfish, ignorant, loser, who is an inept, selfish, demented sexual offender and has no interest in anything but himself. He is mentally ill, an insecure temperamental man who is prone to rages and tantrums. A sociopath who is cruel and vindictive while displaying a complete lack of common sense. He possesses the vocabulary of a 3rd grader and the emotional control of a toddler. What makes him so dangerous is that his mental illness combined with his profound ignorance of everything sets him up to make disastrous decisions, that I believe can destroy the World. This crazy march towards authoritarianism, led by Trump, will destabilize the Free World and bring on endless conflict that could result in a nuclear war (planet over). The choice is between normalcy or a chaotic apocalyptic nightmare...there is really no choice.

Is exactly what these NAR people want. They're religious crazies hoping to force the second return of christ, but first they have to create a theocracy in his name. They're just freaking nuts enough to push it until they blow up the world. Why do you think they live putin xo much.... He has the nukes and gall to use them. Scary as hell is what the world is diving into.

And anyone who looks at the two rationally and then picks Trump needs serious psychological help. No joke there. Voting for Donny is just fucking nuts.

Going to end?

This rediculousness to replace Biden with a vague unknown candidate is just more of the same Biden is too old crap. Even replacing the "vague unknown" with Harris will never give you the clout an incumbent president has.

This frenzy is a totally false creation. The scoundrels involved are: corporate media and their filthy-rich owners, Trump and his psychopathic Nazi minion, Putin and his under paid Russian trolls and idiots who are easily manipulated. The same idiots who got manipulated into Not voting for Hillary.

This stupid "get rid of Biden" frenzy is No Grassroots movement from liberals and Democrats. It is wholly created by the fascists and the media who want to turn America into a dictatorship. And a bunch of Americans go along because they are easily manipulated and conned by propaganda, advertisment and trolls.

Wake up America. This push against Biden is one big con.

Who is Amy Goldman Fowler?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Goldman_Fowler

Amy Goldman Fowler (born 1954) is an American billionaire heiress, gardener, author, artist, philanthropist, and advocate for seed saving and heirloom fruits and vegetables. She is one of the foremost heirloom plant conservationists in the US. Goldman has been called "perhaps the world's premier vegetable gardener" by Gregory Long, president emeritus of The New York Botanical Garden.

Early life and education
Fowler is the daughter of Lillian (née Schuman) and Sol Goldman.[1][2] She has three siblings: Allan H. Goldman, Diane Goldman Kemper, and Jane Goldman.[3] Her father was the largest non-institutional real estate investor in New York City in the 1980s, owning nearly 1900 commercial and residential properties.[3] Her siblings, Allan Goldman and Jane Goldman manage the remaining real estate assets via the firm Solil Management.[4] Her cousin, Lloyd Goldman, is a real-estate investor in New York City.[5]

Goldman earned a bachelor's degree in psychology from Barnard College (1976), a master's in developmental psychology from Columbia University's Teachers College (1978), and a doctorate in clinical psychology (PhD) from Oklahoma State University in 1984.

Career
Goldman is the author of five books. Her first three and her current release, The Melon, won American Horticultural Society Book of the Year awards.[6] These were illustrated by the photographer Victor Schrager.


Gardeners may want to check out her books.

She clearly understands what is at stake in this election and had not been swayed by the 2024 version of, “But her emails…”

her foundation's purpose was for women's rights, including access to abortion.
If she's doing it quietly, why the announcement from her of what she was doing and intended to do with her foundation?

If you google Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and scroll even a little, “grant opportunities” pops up. Click on that. She co-founded it.

Her foundation is Pivotal Ventures.

“OVERVIEW: Founded by Melinda French Gates, Pivotal Ventures is a limited liability corporation (LLC) that engages in grantmaking, venture capital and impact investments, advocacy, strategic support and partnerships.May 31, 2024”

You know how to do this. Go.

You also know that foundations don’t hand out pocket money to individuals. Form a group and come up with a plan for doing good works that are in line with the stated goals of the foundation you are asking for grant-money from. Demonstrate that you know what you are doing — research how to do that. Alternatively, ally yourself with an existing group that operates within the stated goals etc etc.

It’s research. Before desktop computers I would have referred you to a large regional public library with a section on Grants, because everything was on paper then. I would have said you should write to a lot of people in those files and ask more questions.

Now, with everything on your computer and internet, the tools are different, but it is still research.

Go. Do your own research now.
