Trump Is Going To Take A Lot Of People Down With Him.  Good.

New York Attorney General Letitia James’s (D) probe into the Trump Organization involves the financial records from CFO Allen Weisselberg’s son and ex-daughter-in-law, a person familiar with the matter told Bloomberg News.

Post Presidency Plans?

President Donald Trump is telling friends that he plans to “wreck” Fox News by launching a competing digital media streaming service according to a new report in Axios from Mike Allen.

In the days that have followed his apparent failed reelection bid, reports of Trump’s frustration with Fox News have become a fascinating media narrative. Trump has repeatedly called out Fox News during rallies and on Twitter, despite the fact that the highly-rated primetime opinion lineup has remained fiercely in the Trump camp.

Happy Veterans Day!

Veterans and their families are the 'face of America,' and more

Veterans’ Day affords the nation an opportunity to say “thank you” to all who have chosen to serve, and risk their lives, for their country and their countrymen. America’s veterans total just under 20 million men and women, drawn from all parts of the nation, from all races, all creeds, all ethnic backgrounds. Those who have served in the past currently include, among others, a former African American chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, a Jewish Air Force chief of staff, Hispanic and Asian American senior generals and admirals, as well as Christian, Muslim, Hindu and Sikh officers and enlisted personnel. They are the face of America.

Welcome to Florida Where You Can Shoot Looters!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) is proposing "anti-mob" legislation to expand the state’s "stand your ground" law, according to the Miami Herald. 

The legislation would reportedly expand the state’s list of “forcible felonies” to justify using force against people engaging in conduct resulting in the “interruption or impairment” of a business. It would also justify the use of force against those involved in looting, which is defined as a burglary within 500 feet of a “violent or disorderly assembly.”

DOJ Official Resigns As Barr Probes Imaginary Voter Fraud

The New York Times reported Monday night that Justice Department official, Richard Pilger, who was slated to aid in the voter fraud investigation, stepped “down from the post within hours” of Barr’s directive.

Subject: It drives me slightly apesh*t...

It drives me slightly apesh*t that after all these years of abuse, lies, disrespect, name-calling, demonization and hate, liberals are now supposed to be the grown-ups one more time, and "understand" the angst of the losers of the election.

They called me an idiot. They've been using "liberal" as a dirty word for years. They claim that I am not even an American even though they know damn well that I was born, raised, and never lived anywhere else but the USA.

They threaten me physically. They have verbally abused me for years. Trump is a classic abuser. I don't support their racist, authoritarian, anti-American policies. I find their leader to be a severely damaged demagogue and wannabe dictator. I believe in science, in welcoming immigrants, in equality, true equality for everyone, and equal opportunities for all.

Is there anyone in the republican party or on the right generally calling for understanding of the left wing of the American body politic? Anyone? Anyone at all?

I don't feel a huge urge to make nice. To me, trump and his cult are the epitome of the snake who talked the frog into taking him across the river, then killed the frog on the other side. The frog said, you promised you wouldn't do that, and the snake said, you should have known that I would do that. I'm a snake.

It's fucking hard to hug a snake. 

Peace.

George

Thanks for writing, George.

Yeah, Germans did not embrace Nazis after WWII. In fact, we know the opposite happened. Germany prosecuted and banned Nazis and their hate speech and now Germany is one of the most successful countries in the world, even with a Russian wall interlude of Berlin from 1961-1989.

Just think if the USA took that approach to US presidents that commit crimes while in office. Maybe if Nixon was punished for breaking into the Democratic National Committee, and Reagan/Bush punished for Iran-Contra, or  George W. Bush punished for lying us into the Iraq war and normalized torturing people. Maybe, just maybe, if we punished presidents for committing crimes, Trump would have never happened. Ya think?

But, ooooh, Republicans impeached Clinton for lying about an affair but would not vote to impeach Trump for trying to dig up dirt on Hunter Biden in Ukraine to affect the current election.

I will not be nice to Republicans or Nazis until they get on their knees and apologize to the world.
