Thought for the day: The Billionaire Oligarch class doesn't have to be right or tell the truth to win power & control of a country it just has to convince enough bigoted older folk to vote against their kids & grandkids futures. It's been a successful tactic for generations.

I think it is long past time that we used technological advances under nationalization to develop a new way of "representative" government that reduces the role of the representative to an actual representative, whose decisions can be easily-challenged and must align with constituents.

The future of the Democratic Party must be rooted in investing in the American people — not Wall St., corporations, and consultants. Otherwise, Trumpism will continue to use cynicism, racism, and distrust to divide America.

We’re on Year 3 of Israel doing monstrous, inhuman things to women, children, and innocent civilians and Israel’s defenders have nothing left but “we get it, you hate Jews.” It’s a tired act and you get the impression they don’t even really believe it anymore.

I saw a closeup of Trump's hand. That's not tv makeup or bad spray tan. I minored in Speech and Dramatic Arts and did a lot of amateur theatre with professional-level makeup. That's stage makeup, applied thickly to be seen from a distance. Still the bruise shows.

It's dreadful realization at 58 that, like Maximilian Kolbe, I am an unpleasant, misanthropic, difficult individual, whose only redemption and major contribution to humanity will come from . . . dying. Makes me wonder how many martyrs weren't thinking, "For Christ," but "Finally, an end to it."

It really looks like Jeffries lied to us about his meeting with Kushner. Immediately after the meeting he appointed 3 pro-Netanyahu hawks to the foreign affairs committee. I guess there won't be much diversity of opinion on that committee.

On a freezing 1983 night shoot, Dolly Parton laid her shawl over a homeless man. She says Sylvester Stallone yanked it off, calling the man "scum." Parton grabbed it back: "That could have been you, you ungrateful son of a b*tch." The next day, he'd bought the man a blanket.
