kimbutgar's JournalI heard a commentator talking about this speech today from the Charlie Chaplin movie the Great Dictator
And it so relevant to whats happening today and I wish we had a real leader who cared about its citizens .
Im sorry, but I dont want to be an emperor. Thats not my business. I dont want to rule or conquer anyone. I should like to help everyone - if possible - Jew, Gentile - black man - white. We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each others happiness - not by each others misery. We dont want to hate and despise one another. In this world there is room for everyone. And the good earth is rich and can provide for everyone. The way of life can be free and beautiful, but we have lost the way.
Greed has poisoned mens souls, has barricaded the world with hate, has goose-stepped us into misery and bloodshed. We have developed speed, but we have shut ourselves in. Machinery that gives abundance has left us in want. Our knowledge has made us cynical. Our cleverness, hard and unkind. We think too much and feel too little. More than machinery we need humanity. More than cleverness we need kindness and gentleness. Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost
The aeroplane and the radio have brought us closer together. The very nature of these inventions cries out for the goodness in men - cries out for universal brotherhood - for the unity of us all. Even now my voice is reaching millions throughout the world - millions of despairing men, women, and little children - victims of a system that makes men torture and imprison innocent people.
To those who can hear me, I say - do not despair. The misery that is now upon us is but the passing of greed - the bitterness of men who fear the way of human progress. The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish
Soldiers! dont give yourselves to brutes - men who despise you - enslave you - who regiment your lives - tell you what to do - what to think and what to feel! Who drill you - diet you - treat you like cattle, use you as cannon fodder. Dont give yourselves to these unnatural men - machine men with machine minds and machine hearts! You are not machines! You are not cattle! You are men! You have the love of humanity in your hearts! You dont hate! Only the unloved hate - the unloved and the unnatural! Soldiers! Dont fight for slavery! Fight for liberty!
In the 17th Chapter of St Luke it is written: the Kingdom of God is within man - not one man nor a group of men, but in all men! In you! You, the people have the power - the power to create machines. The power to create happiness! You, the people, have the power to make this life free and beautiful, to make this life a wonderful adventure.
Then - in the name of democracy - let us use that power - let us all unite. Let us fight for a new world - a decent world that will give men a chance to work - that will give youth a future and old age a security. By the promise of these things, brutes have risen to power. But they lie! They do not fulfil that promise. They never will!
Dictators free themselves but they enslave the people! Now let us fight to fulfil that promise! Let us fight to free the world - to do away with national barriers - to do away with greed, with hate and intolerance. Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all mens happiness. Soldiers! in the name of democracy, let us all unite!

I finally found a orange piggy decoder meme!

I dont think I can ever listen to him again and not laugh knowing he means this instead!
Who is JD Vance going to pick as Vice President when sleepy orange piggy dies or has to step down
because of health reasons ? Its becoming so obvious everyday that between the dementia and his appearance that the sleepy old piggy (sop) is seriously ill and is going to die or resign ( the repukes have no courage to 25th amendment remove him)
Im thinking Rubio.
Best orange piggy picture I've seen today
It truly captures the odious orange a hole piggy !

The orange piggy killing his best friend, and then his best friend's ghost haunting him and dooming his second term,
is an Elizabethan revenge tragedy. - Emma Vigeland
One of the best quotes I heard today !
Everyday seems like a nightmare in this reign of terror of the orange piggy !
Bringing back three mile island and pushing for more nuclear energy and ignoring /defunding wind and solar energy, undoing the endangered species protections, letting oil companies drill baby drill everywhere, defunding FEMA , putting a mad man in charge of our public health and cutting research funding for finding cures for cancer
.i could go on
but WTF!
And dont get me started on him trying it provoke wars with our allies! I hope we survive this reign of orange piggy terror!
Why does the orange piggy want to destroy this country ?

Spoke to my mother in law today and she suggested we read this passage for the Bible that bears some resemblance
To the orange evil dictator in the White House. This passage gave me hope were going to survive this reign of terror were living though now. I may not be a church going Christian but a not words but deeds one.
2 Thessalonians 2:1-12
The Man of Lawlessness
2 Concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our being gathered to him, we ask you, brothers and sisters, 2 not to become easily unsettled or alarmed by the teaching allegedly from uswhether by a prophecy or by word of mouth or by letterasserting that the day of the Lord has already come. 3 Dont let anyone deceive you in any way, for that day will not come until the rebellion occurs and the man of lawlessness[a] is revealed, the man doomed to destruction. 4 He will oppose and will exalt himself over everything that is called God or is worshiped, so that he sets himself up in Gods temple, proclaiming himself to be God.
5 Dont you remember that when I was with you I used to tell you these things? 6 And now you know what is holding him back, so that he may be revealed at the proper time. 7 For the secret power of lawlessness is already at work; but the one who now holds it back will continue to do so till he is taken out of the way. 8 And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus will overthrow with the breath of his mouth and destroy by the splendor of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one will be in accordance with how Satan works. He will use all sorts of displays of power through signs and wonders that serve the lie, 10 and all the ways that wickedness deceives those who are perishing. They perish because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 For this reason God sends them a powerful delusion so that they will believe the lie 12 and so that all will be condemned who have not believed the truth but have delighted in wickedness.
