In response to Charlotte Clymer.
You're 100% right. I feel awash in pundits (in media & real life) who are confident without basis. Not a note of self-doubt among 'em.

In response to Ethical Atheist.
It is indicative of the family, & wealthy Trump supporters, that I see no one of means stepping in. Elon Musk or Steve Mnuchin could probably rescue him quickly. Instead, he's lying to working-class supporters to get money.

Thank you for the encouragement Reisa. You are so right.

In response to ramona palin.
I share your concern. If the worst has happened, as I fear, Israel may feel justified eliminating Gaza as an entity. I'm starting to think this couldn't have gone worse.
06:37 PM - Mar 18, 2024
In response to ramona palin.
Absolutely. I'm livid with well-off right-wingers valuing private schools more than public. I'm just as concerned about people who can't afford dental care or homes, that so many of my dearest liberal friends laughingly call "Trailer Trash." When we walk our talk, they might abandon Trump.

In response to Anton Brakhage.
I agree w/Governor Widmer - they have an absolute right to transmit their stance on this issue via a vote.
I hope they know that, a protest vote in November will help a man who will discriminate against Arab Americans as well as Palestinians.

In response to ManKillah Fruitface.
I'm in the process of writing my family's story. It is one of the most satisfying things I've ever done. But I didn't ask enough questions when my elders were alive. It is hard to put it all together via old memories, photos & documents, & Ancestry.com. But it's important to do. ASK.

In response to Robert McNamara.
There is so much PR around this whole mess that I'm a bit put off. Elon Musk should not be allowed in Israel - this is blatant toadying by a leader who failed his people & who knows his retention of power depends on this war continuing. I don't see how he can make an informed decision.

In response to Muriel Vieux.
Trump capitalized on a problem we've had in this country for a long time. The right wants to concentrate wealth toward white, Christian, mostly males. They hate sharing power or money, even if they got it via tax subsidies & other sweetheart arrangements.

In response to True-Blue Spoutonian.
I doubt he really cares about *every* human life.
Liberal as I am, I find mutual monitoring of porn use with your son is a bit creepy. Plus the rare 17 year-old boy who's never succumbed to the compulsion to see any would qualify as a control subject for a study on it.

His "talk" to the 20 no-voters in conference could well have been "Didn't you take the threats seriously?" Alternative theory - he & Trump LOVE shutdowns. Fodder for 2024 campaign. I know some really dumb people who are enjoying this.

In response to I don't need a "cure".
I don't believe all Palestinians are bad. And for what it's worth, the Jewish people in my family (by marriage) are some of the biggest pain-in-the-butt victim/bigots I've ever met. I'm mixed Irish/English/German/French, bereft of tribal pride.
09:13 PM - Oct 19, 2023
In response to I don't need a "cure".
It's sad. He did push the idea of a two-state solution in Israel yesterday. Do you think that would work? What would it take for Palestine to form a non-religious democratic government? (Right now, I'm worried about the US & Israel moving toward religious governments.)

In response to Loren Hansen.
Seeing all the negative media reports about him, I wonder what the heck I'm missing. He's doing a great job. He's 9 years older than me, & I am exhausted by just watching him.
08:29 PM - Oct 19, 2023
In response to Eddie Stewart.
I don't know how he has the energy to talk after this last week. He was honest, and said what I expected. I sometimes wish he'd call people out more, but as my daughter reminds me often, it's important not to publicly shame people because it hardens them.

In response to Diane Turner.
Joe Biden is keeping us from going into the toilet. But I'm still pissed that he encouraged Thomas to hang in there & not drop out of his confirmation hearing.

Another step toward ruining one of my favorite foods. In a not too distant future, this fad will die, & no one will make pumpkin pie.

Me too. Maybe our exhaustion is channeling energy to him in some way.

Pesky autocorrect - is editing possible? This should be seen by a ton of people. Thanks for posting this news.

I know you're right. I also fear they'll never live peacefully on the same piece of land. The level of hatred is astounding.

In response to Naja pallida.
Good point. I guess I'm still a little surprised that they are *all* holding the line away from the one thing that could help make things better.

In response to MGM Freire.
This is good news. Finally, a fair map. It's not a guarantee - it's still important to encourage everyone to vote & to help good candidates who will make the Alabama delegation reflect all Alabamans & not just rich white people.

I'm torn between relief at how dumb they are & fear that they operate as freely as they do.

Thank you. This was a great article about a dangerous person fomenting a dangerous movement.

Thank you, I went over to X & followed him. Hid posts are really good. I don't remember anyone mentioning his name anywhere.

I fear that is what it will take. OTOH, it may be an opportunity for serious progress while they take their time finding a change of heart.

I agree. The platform helped; the heads of Scientology can't get on the Presidential Debate stage.
