Imallin4Joe's JournalTax speculation to death. Fuck the Fascist futures market.
Do you appreciate 60% inflation to food, gasoline, heating fuels? Likely, Fuck No.
Then call on politicians to tax the speculation markets that inflate the cost of living for us.
Speculation taxes us with inflated commodities.
Kill that scam by taxing commodities futures trading, the biggest scam of free market capitalism.
Futures trading is the backbone of Fascist economic policy. It is Republicanism defined.
Democrats, end this scam. End the tax on all of us by killing the commodities trading markets.
Tax commodities trading to death.
On a planet covered with 75% water, global warming is our #1 threat.
Warming water evaporates much faster than cool waters, sending plumes of water vapor into the atmosphere.
Water vapor fuels storms. Take your average Tuesday rain and add water vapor and suddenly it increases the Newtons, the power behind a storm.
Water vapor can turn a minor rain storm into a tornado or worse.
Water vapor is our enemy. It has the power to change the face of our planet. It can make our planet unlivable.
Global warming hastens more water vapor into our atmosphere than any other cause.
Increased humidity also hastens the evolution of microbial life. So does warmth.
Water vapor and microbes will be our downfall.
Warming temps also acidify our oceans. Acidic oceans kill the life that lives in them. Our oceans are the lungs of our planet. They convert more Co2 to oxygen than any other force. Dead oceans do not make oxygen. Instead, they ferment methane, another deadly greenhouse gas.
Democrats, start calling global warming denialist GOPers idiots.
Call them out for their idiocy in your campaign ads. Any GOPer that denys global warming is an idiot unfit for office.
Call them that.
Trump is an idiot that denied the proven science of man-made global warming.
So is about 98% of the GOP.
Call out the science flunk-outs that make up the GOP by calling them idiots in your campaign ads.
Sore loser terrorists like Trump aren't welcome at Biden's inauguration.
Let's spread the word across the internets and send Agent Orange packing in shame.
How much responsibilty does RW pro-Trump media bear in their repeated calls to "fight" before riots?
Did Fox, Newsmax, OAN break the law when they repeatedly called for Trumpsters to "fight" in the run-up to the violent insurrection at the US Capitol?
Trump also used the word "fight" several times at his rally before the seditious insurrection took place. Trump goaded them on to commit a violent uprising that likely violated federal law regarding seditious conspiracy.
Did RW media break the law by calling on people to "fight" for Trump in the moments before the insurrection?
How much responsibility do they bear?
here's a short CNN clip that delves into the topic. Forgive me for the weird link, I'm kinda new at posting video links..

This is the word pro-Trump media kept repeating ahead of riot
CNN's Brian Stelter examines the coverage by pro-Trump media like Fox News, Newsmax and OAN and the part it played leading up to the riot that breached the US Capitol.
.............................................
In closing, the first amendment does not protect speech that calls for acts of violence against our country.
Should the DOJ and incoming AG investigate RW media and possibly charge them if criminal wrong-doing is found?
Should Democrats approach Sen Murkowski and lobby her to switch to our party?
Buried underneath all the GOP bullshit is a conflicted person that is struggling with her GOP party's toxic culture vs her own ability to be reasonable.
In other words, her ability to be reasonable is starting to outshine her ideology. She sees the venom that Trump represents and detests what it has done to our country.
That makes her reasonable enough to be a Democrat.
People can change and that is something that we as Dems must never forget. It's our job to change hearts and minds with simple, basic facts.
I hope in the coming days that Dem leadership will sit down with Sen Murkowski and lobby directly to her inner good because there is good hidden in her somewhere.
Sen Murkowski, its not too late to save your soul. C'mon over to the side of good hearted people. You wont regret it.
Being reasonable might just be the best way that anyone can serve their country.
What will it take for Twitter to perma-ban Trump?
Twitter has been one of the top enablers of Trump's venom for too long.
Now Trump is using it to incite sedition and insurrection.
WTF will it take to ban his ass?

Thanks to Cornell for their nice legal resource. Makes it ez for someone like me that needs help understanding law.
I hope this helps others understand the crimes that the Trump family has committed.
Upholding the rule of law in regards to high ranking public officials is patriotic.
Indicting Agent Orange and family will be as American as apple pie!
(also on edit, the wording on these laws appears to criminally condemn the violent riot at the capitol. Everyone that entered the capitol might be indictable.)
How DU educated my dumb simpleton ass.
I admit, I had nearly lost faith in democracy after 2016.
Fast-forward to 2020 and Biden gave me hope. He's just so darn likeable that I felt like America couldn't possibly fuck this up again and re-elect Agent Orange. Still, Nov 3rd kinda felt like a partial loss in the days after. Dems seemed to under-perform. It felt like another gut punch.
But in those days after Nov 3rd, something mysteriously cool was brewing. Biden was starting to pull ahead of Trump in Georgia.
I though to myself, how is it possible that Ga is suddenly bluer than purple Florida? What happened in Ga that flipped it from its quite red past into a new Dem state?(still purple but winnable purple)
Still, I thought, how did Ga do it? I turned to DU and found the answer.
Stacey Abrams. (and the thousands of others who encouraged GOTV efforts)
Stacey Abrams' poise shows her leadership capabilities. She is a rising star in Democratic Party politics. Her leadership ability has proven to thrust her into future presidential aspirations. She would be a wonderful Dem President someday.
She didn't get depressed about 2016 like I did. Instead, she channeled her energy into a massive GOTV effort and wow, did it pay off. She helped the effort to make Mitch Mcconnell senate MINORITY leader and succeeded. That's leadership.
Florida and Texas could learn a lot from her leadership. So could many other swing states. Abrams plotted the course to victory that other swing states need to follow.
She inspired me to the point that my faith in democracy will never waiver again. EVER.
GOTV works. It will be my focus for the rest of my life.
No more getting depressed. No more sitting on my hands.
Let's roll up our sleaves and get to work on 2022 midterms. Abrams style.
Your crowning achievement- 363,000 dead in the past 11 months from a pandemic you called a hoax.
Greatest first term in US history? In terms the death tally, perhaps.
The US set a record this year for total deaths. The most dead in one year in US history.
Stable genius?
Unstable dumbass is more like it.
Agent Orange will go down in history as the deadliest president in our nation's history.
Conservative is American codeword for Fascist.
Trumpster/Limpblob Conservatives HATE democracy.
They are the authoritarians.
They are white supremacists.
They are anti-science.
They claim covid is a hoax.
They are the anti-vaxxers.
They give sweet-heart deals to big banks and the MIC.
They cut taxes for the super-rich and shift the burden of taxation to the little people.
They oppose regulation.
They work to create a white nationalist nation.
.....................................
Democrats, tired of being called socialist?
Then it's time to take the floors of the house and senate. Call out conservative GOP'ers for what they are.
American Fascists.
Trump, Perdue, Loeffler, Mcconnell, Graham, Marjorie Taylor-Greene just to give few examples.
Urge the next AG to open investigations into their treasonous, Fascist wrong-doings.
They tried to overthrow democracy.
Oh how Fascist of them.
