I read & listen to a lot of nat’l & internat’l political news and share my thoughts. Politically progressive.

Trump’s regime is disturbing, but I enjoy family & friends, nature & sci discoveries, seeing beauty & goodness in humanity.

Home is Oakland, CA
I’m not cheering for failure of democracy. I’m not supportive of politicians who use the Democratic Party’s network but then vote to give more benefits & power to billionaires and big corporations that only count money and not the quality of human life.

Or at least acknowledge their inadequate approach and join with those who aren’t willing to sell out freedom for so many.

Would you prefer no one keep track of the lives upended? Whether or not any individual gets a measure of justice, it’s a public service that people are paying attn to the details. Their lives & stories matter & the statistics & video documentation will make a difference. We can’t yet know how much.

Makes sense.

SCOTUS has already given him immunity for everything in advance. He won’t ever suffer from legal accountability. But he can still be thrown out of office.

Exactly.

I think it’s safe to say it’s not advisable to believe anything he says about medical matters, including nutritional advice.

In 1927, Donald Trump’s father was arrested after a Klan riot in Queens
On Sunday, Trump declined to disavow the support of white supremacists.

Wow. Listening to tWumpus from 2016 truly reveals the enormous changes in his ability to mentally track a subject & talk over 10 years. Aside from that, his vehement protestations about not knowing anything about white supremacists or David Duke is laughable.

I loved it too. But several of the songs were basically the same melody, which was unfortunate, especially given the amazing choral talents of the actors. I guess they had deadlines.

I thought the symbionts could only live about 800 years...

I watched it but didn't notice her...What part does Tawny Newsome play in Star Trek SA?

It’s been time for that every day since Day 1 of his term. But the ones who have the power to do that aren’t interested.

I believe that would be called a coup

I never get tired of this video. 😁

So dumb -- and so typically racist of him. Remember when Bill Maher joked that Twumpus' father must've been an orangutan because of his orange skin? Good times...
