Wow! Just became a Star Member....

so I could put the page in dark mode, and realized all the cool stuff I've been missing out on the last 16 years!
The change took me off guard, but it looks great and easier to navigate (or easier on my brain) in dark mode.

Great Job!

Thank you America


I'm forever thankful that some measure of sanity has been restored in our government. Horrific policies spawned out of the mind of pathological lying, white nationalist conman will be checked at every turn. The stage is now set for Act II, the Mueller investigation reveal. Bombshell after bombshell, indictment after indictment, the trump campaign, the trump crime family, trump cabinet members, and senior members of the GOP. 2019 spring cleaning will take on a whole new meaning and will only be the beginning. It will take years of eye opening disclosures uncovering the historic, monumental scale of criminal, self serving greed and depravity, years of legal wrangling, and the 2020 coup de grace of the GOP.

Thank you America for recognizing that hate, lies, division, greed and unchecked power is not the path a healthy democratic nation can sustain.

Thank you America, for saving our democracy.

The "W" Dump

I take little consolation in hearing the second worst President ever, slamming the current title holder. If it weren't for Dump, "W" would still reign supreme. Perhaps he should just say "Thank you" and ooze back into his disgraced anonymity and continue painting pictures of his accomplishments - disfigured war veterans.

Sound familiar?


Watching part of Sin City last nite, caught this Sen Rourke piece and it gave me chills...

"Power comes from lying, once you got people believing in what they know in their hearts aint true, you got 'em by the balls. I could pump you full of bullets right now and wouldn't be arrested". Sound familiar?

All I hear is.....


FEAR, FEAR, FEAR, BE AFRAID, BE AFRAID, BE AFRAID, TERRORIST ARE POURING INTO OUR COUNTRY!! I'M "SERIES", BELIEVE ME!!! This shit is all I hear every freakin' day with this "so-called" president, what the hell changed? Duh..Nevermind....
In the last 8 years, you never heard this kind of willfull fear-mongering, and incitement because we had intelligent, competent, responsible adults running our government, not the mentally ill shitshow we have now whipping their base into a frenzy. I'm still waiting for their orchestrated "Reichstag fire" to prove their insane claims. The only thing scaring the shit out of me now, IS this administration.

Bannon's meeting with Vatican hardliners (2014)...


...In July 2014, Bannon addressed a conference that was held inside the Vatican but was sponsored by a conservative Catholic group. Speaking via Skype, Bannon painted an almost apocalyptic vision of the state of the Western world.

"We're at the very beginning stages of a very brutal and bloody conflict, of which, if the people in this room, the people in the church, do not bind together and really form what I feel is an aspect of the church militant, to really be able to not just stand with our beliefs, but to fight for our beliefs against this new barbarity that's starting."

A barbarity, Bannon added, that would completely eradicate "everything we've been bequeathed over the last 2,000, 2,500 years," and which he clearly spelled out a few minutes later: "We are in an outright war against jihadist Islamic fascism. And this war is, I think, metastasizing far quicker than governments can handle it."

----------------------------

Nah, It's not a Muslim Ban....it's going to be an all out War.

This administration...

This administration has essentially said that 2+2 no longer equals 4 and water is not wet unless they say so. They’ve thrown out all objective worldwide accepted methods of gathering data and forming statistics and providing a means of measurement, from simple crowd assessments, to unemployment rates, climate change numbers, planned parenthood/abortion rates, on and on. It’s so Orwellian and absurd it’s terrifying. Simply lying is no longer lying, it’s an opinion, alternative fact or simply fabricating their own reality in which they can agree. The other disastrously disturbing part of this, is that half the country is OK with this, and believes them.
