global1's JournalCan We Enlist The Help Of World Leaders To Get The 'For The People' Voting Act Act Passed?....
Here's where I'm coming from.
Not only us in the U.S. has gone through this disaster that was called the Tr**p Administration. The leaders of the worlds countries also had to endure this criminal.
The Repugs in the Red States are doing everything in their power to suppress the votes and cheat so they can win back the House, Senate and White House.
We are hearing that Tr**p is the de facto head of the Repug Party and quite possibly their nominee for president in 2024.
Even with all the recent revelations that are coming out about Tr**p in these newly published books - the Repugs are still circling the wagons around Tr**p.
Now we don't want to go back to another Tr**p Administration and I'm sure that world leaders don't want to have to deal with him again either.
We're getting back to normalizing relationships with these countries and the last thing anyone wants is to undo all the good that the Biden Administration is doing to make the U.S. credible again.
Still a most critical element in recovering from Tr**p is to remove the filibuster and pass all those laws that are needed to assure that we won't creep back into another Tr**p Administration.
Also - now might be the last Dem Administration we'll have if we can't get those laws passed without the threat of a filibuster.
I'm thinking that the world leaders can help put some pressure on the Manchin's and Sinema's of the world and appeal to their patriotism and perhaps get them on board with the Dem Party to do away with the filibuster.
Things are getting tense for 2022 and 2024 and if we don't do something soon - we'll miss our chance and perhaps never recover.
I'm just thinking that world leaders can make some appeals to help us through this situation. It's in their best interests as well.
We've Used The Carrot - Is It Time To Use The Stick?.....
We'll never get out of this pandemic if we don't reach our goals on getting the American People vaccinated.
Things look like they are taking a turn for the worse again - with this Delta Variant. Numbers of cases, hospitalizations and deaths are again climbing.
I just wish the MSM would report what percentage of the new cases, hospitalizations and deaths are attributed to those that are un-vaccinated. Maybe some of those un-vaccinated will be sufficiently scared into going to get vaccinated if they hear those numbers and know that they are the ones now in the cross-hairs of this pandemic.
We've appealed to peoples 'patriotism' - to get vaccinated.
We've used the carrot approach and have offered everything from free beer, tickets to popular events and cash lotteries. Still the numbers of those seeking vaccinations is down considerably.
My question - is it time to start to use the stick?
Maybe not right immediately - but to provide a date - that if you are not vaccinated by that date - there will be some sort of repercussion.
Not sure what that would be - but - fines; barring the un-vaccinated from participating in events; not being able to travel; prohibiting them from being able to go to a bar; for a haircut; to a restaurant; from going to school (and I'm talking those of age to be eligible for the vaccine; etc.
The way I am looking at it now is that these un-vaccinated people are infringing upon my rights to live a normal life. They need to be coerced, forced - if we have to - but they must get vaccinated unless there is some very legitimate medical reason they can't. If they don't - they need to be held accountable.
For the sake of all of us - we need to reach 'herd immunity'.
I believe we are getting close to having to 'use the stick'.
It shouldn't have to come to that - but we can't go on forever being afraid to live a normal life because of those that throw caution to the wind and endanger the rest of us.
I Still Want To Know Where Tr**p Was Viewing The 1/6 Insurrection And.....
who was with him and what was his reaction to what was going on.
I sure hope that info comes out in time. The sooner the better.
Has Anybody Studied What Indoctrinates A Person Into The Trump Cult?....
I don't know where I'm going with this post - and I don't know if I'm using the correct words - but has anyone done a psychoanalysis of a Trumpist/MAGA? What radicalizes them and alters the way they think about Trump, our country, our government?
Is it simply listening to Fox and Rupert? Does that news network employ subliminal messages? Is something else going on? How do they suck people in?
What about the Repug Party (i.e., our politicians in D.C. and the states, etc)? Have they been brainwashed as well? Do they contribute to the indoctrination, radicalization of the common folk Trump cultists? How does a politician that runs for office and attains that office go so far off track from the ideals of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness? What makes them try to out lie or create weirder conspiracy stories than the next guy?
How much does Trump himself play into drawing the people to him? Does he have some kind of strange hypnotic-al power? Why don't people see through him and realize he's a con artist? Why don't they recognize his criminal ways?
I believe that other cults have been analyzed. I'm just wondering if anyone has studied the Trump cult in any major way to help us understand what's happening to a large portion of the American People.
This has gone much further than just Republican and Democrat/Left and Right politics. We're venturing into Right versus Wrong.
What drives a person to want to rush the Capitol Building and beat police with American flags? What makes a person want to endanger their life as well as others to not wear a mask or to believe that the Covid vaccines are harmful? How have they watched over the last year 600,000 + American's die of Covid and believe someone that tells them it's a hoax?
It's like something has insidiously taken over half of the U.S. electorate. What's going on?
Is There A Dem Equivalent To CPAC?.....
It would seem that something of this sort should be around to counteract the lies that are spread from CPAC.
Who Arms The Taliban?....
Where does the Taliban get their supplies? (guns, ammunition, vehicles, food, etc)
Why can't we cut off their supply chain to weaken them?
The Repugs Most Always Take The Opposite Position Than Dems On Any Issue....
perhaps we should use this to get more people to take the vaccine shots.
Tell them that as of a certain date the vaccines will be pulled from circulation. No more shots will be administered.
That should incite them enough for them to cry unfair. Saying - the Dems can't do that. The vaccine needs to be made available to all Americans.
Basically - take something away from them and then they'll want it.
Use reverse psychology.
We'll Know When Climate Change Really Has Gone Too Far To Stop Or Reverse.....
We'll know because the Repugs will start blaming the Dems for doing nothing about 'climate change'.
Mask Panic Attack!!!!.....
I'm wondering if anyone is having the same experience as I am having.
All through this pandemic I protected myself (72y/o with underlying conditions). I quarantined. I socially distanced. I wore my mask. I wore protective eye covering. I wore rubber gloves. Carried hand sanitizer and used it religiously. Washed my hands. Didn't touch my face. Isolated all my mail and sanitized it with Lysol spray before I opened it. Wiped down any item I bought at a store or was delivered to my home. I'm vaccinated since March. Pfizer 2 shots.
Now the CDC and my State have said we aren't required to wear masks if we are vaccinated.
The town that I live in had a 4th of July concert in the center of town on July 2nd. I ventured down there trying to get back to some semblance of normalcy.
The area where the concert was staged was cordoned off and the townspeople were crammed into a small space with their chairs, blankets, coolers, and picnic baskets.
Nobody - I repeat - nobody - was wearing a mask.
I tried to be brave and ventured into the crowd without my mask on.
The people were literally one on top of another. Kids and teenagers were running through the crowd. The adults were imbibing on liquid alcoholic refreshments. Everybody appeared to be enjoying themselves.
It looked like pre-pandemic times. One would have never known that we just came out of this year of quarantine and isolation.
As I got further into the crowd - I FROZE. The thought of all these people around me. Bumping into me. Breathing on me. Caused me to panic and I froze. Standing in the midst of this crowd - taking it all in and I began to hold my breath and look for the quickest exit out of this cordoned area.
I couldn't wait to get back into my car and get back home where I felt safe and secure.
I want to know if my experience here was just me - OR - has anyone else out there had a similar experience.
I know that if I go shopping anywhere - I will be wearing my mask. What I don't know is if I'll ever be able to break myself of that mask habit and get back to normal.
I'm curious to hear about others experiences and any suggestions that will get me to rejoin society and return to normalcy.
