One would think their priority would be the laws. Since he is blatantly in violation of so many of them, one would think they would be working to resolve that first. Before allowing him to lead troops anywhere. Guy has some unresolved illegalities. Like letting Manson lead troops. Follow the crime.

I figure I'm on the watchlist. I have been very vocal. I think they attack my computer every now & then. I have to keep changing hookups. Trying to keep it civil, although I don't know why. I am so totally against fascism, I see red whenever I see it. I regret giving my baseball bats away.

Apparently I am not capable of being silent. I am disgusted about this development here & speaking out. What laws & what Constitution & what Fed protocols. We no longer have representation. My WWII hero grandfather is rolling in his grave screaming he fought against this & people went & elected it.

You're killing me here. This is too much like real life in the USA right now. But I will look for your book after the furor dies down. I study Roman history... when it doesn't depress me. The parallels here are discouraging.

So, that's why they seized & tear gassed a guy who is a US veteran from his car in traffic because he kind of looks like a foreigner? They didn't even ask for his ID. They just gave him the treatment. I guess they can't read IDs. Can't work those little cards. Like blunt force trauma.

Funny, ICE isn't the ones I see on the ground being handled. I have no doubt that dealing with a criminal element in our midst is dangerous. It's just too bad you people can't be a little more upfront about what you are doing with some old fashioned transparency with public announcements beforehand.

Gemmeri @gemmeri.bsky.social · 2d

That would be cool. I vote for it.

They found Richard III's tomb under a parking lot under construction. What a way to be remembered. The cornerstone of our new shopping strip mall. He had to be good for something. Like shades of the movie Poltergeist. He was out there in nature with a view until they paved him over.

We have no more of those here. It's Goodwill or Salvation Army. Goodwill is struggling with wage mandates. Salvation Army is just struggling. Good place for clothing deals & furniture but not anything else. I don't know what happened to all of them. I thought it was a going thing. But this is CA.

Is he now drawing two paychecks? Because I would have to object. If he's not saving us money, he can just give us the full plate of beans.

I prefer reading. Although they are doing wonderful things with special effects. We tried Netflix, then Hulu, then YouTube. Sorry to say they all disappoint. My mom had satellite & I wasn't too impressed with that either. Take the money & buy. We shop Goodwill seconds because I protest celebrities.

Have to go farther back than that era. It has been at least 26,000 years or more since we were considered worth keeping around. Women use to be worshiped for their ability to bear children. Then they discovered harems. Now they've discovered AI. They can now make their own. No attitudes.

I am so glad I do not watch TV anymore. We buy movies. I am into controlling my own exposure. That windstorm that blew down our antenna & broke the wiring was the best thing that ever happened to us. We turned the news off. I feel like I am no longer being brainwashed.

Illegals were testifying in the media they voted for Trump. I never laughed so hard in my life. And then some of them were deported anyway.

I wonder if she will pursue slander, libel & defamation? The man definitely crossed the lines by saying this.

Good. This sounds like the most serious issue so far, but they are adding up. My condolences to her friends & family.

A sovereign state as a corporation? I know the language is probably old fashioned. Sovereign means stand alone but maybe a better word without other connotations would be better? That's okay though, corporation are fast getting bad names as well.

That sounds kind of abridged to me. We were honored way back when. We were just never considered in charge. Except for the household.

To my knowledge they haven't fired anyone. They might move them around, but not let them go. I wonder if these people have any training at all.

I'm sorry, but why do we care again? After the shytestorm she was involved in, what exactly has she accomplished to merit this exposure? She facilitated an incompetent leader with dementia & other health issues which rendered him unfit for the office. I thought we weren't kidding ourselves anymore.

Gemmeri @gemmeri.bsky.social · 2d

I fell in love with an antique set of encyclopedic dictionaries, three volume set with color plates. I learned quite a bit from the color plates which were packed with information & the dictionary was standard fare but I studied word origins. I spent a lot of time in my room when I was a kid.

Gemmeri @gemmeri.bsky.social · 2d

Is it a question of balance? They are going to have opinions, too, that aren't necessarily appropriate for the broadcasts. The other would still give them a venue to participate. Might want to develop cover names. Could be a problem for credibility, but life is full of controversies.

Gemmeri @gemmeri.bsky.social · 2d

What? That sounds a little out there & prevaricated. It sounds like we are in the middle of a war zone & no one bothered to tell us about it. Gangland battles & everything. Was he watching TV & got confused?

That's funny. Bye, Laura. I believe in free speech but I agree this was completely necessary. You make of yourself a mockery & no one wants you around. Maybe Trump can find something else for her to do. Instead of annoying all the rest of us.

Gemmeri @gemmeri.bsky.social · 2d

I don't think she is stupid enough to try someone for real estate fraud & tax fraud while engaged in personal mortgage fraud. It just seems too obvious to me. I think she got him & it should have disqualified him from candidacy if we had a working Congress. Or SCOTUS.
