Joe Picket on Paramount+

Season two recently began and I am enjoying it as much as the first. From IMdb: "Follows a game warden and his family during a changing political and socioeconomic climate in a small rural town."

If you enjoyed Longmire I would imagine you will enjoy this as well.

Miami mayor says city braced for protests ahead of Trump court appearance amid far-right threats

Source: Independent

Despite the spectre of violence looming over Tuesday’s planned arraignment of former president Donald Trump, City of Miami officials claim that they will have everything under control on Tuesday.

Speaking at a press conference at Miami police headquarter, Mayor Francis Suarez said the city is enacting plans to “make sure that everyone has a right to peacefully express themselves and exercise their constitutional rights” in “an obviously peaceful manner”.

“In our city, we obviously believe in the Constitution, and believe that people should have the right to express themselves. But we also believe in law and order. And we know that and we hope that tomorrow will be peaceful.

“We encourage people to be peaceful in demonstrating how they feel. And we’re going to have the adequate forces necessary to ensure that,” he said.

Driving the hippies away.

Steven Gaskin set up a Farm back in the 70's. He left it open to many of which I was one. I had hitched up to the farm and went through a checkpoint gate of a sort that deemed me proper for the Farm.

The farm was a truly communal affair. My girlfriend and I were given a mattress in a colorful bus where we slept until the next Sunday morning.

We awoke to sorghum and oatmeal.

Then, Sunday Services. There a multitude of joints appeared and the service was mesmerizing even though I do not remember much more than enjoying it.

We stayed a few days more and helped in the small fields of soybeans and corn until we decided to move on.

Which was both good and bad.

I hated sorghum. We left the next day and went off to many other adventures. Both good and bad.

I loved the ideas but just couldn't get used to the sorghum.

Got my ass kicked back in the 70's while they called me a n-g--r lover while today

I'm up for another for being a LGBQT lover.

I'm not black, I'm straight, but then as now I believe that in my 70's I would gladly take another beating for my brothers and sisters.

As long as we keep fighting the proper ending to the strife gets closer.

In playing "What if?" How do you think the MAGAts would react to Trump running

to Moscow or Saudi Arabia to avoid prosecution?

While I don't expect him to do this I wouldn't put it past him.

Frankly I would expect them to either make excuses for him or not believe any news of his doing it.

10, 9, 8, 7... BIDEN FUCKING TRIPPED!!! Was he wearing a tan suit? Waiting on Faux.

And the many others who will somehow relate this to the penchant of diddling infants in the basements of pizza parlors.

DeSantis is about to discover that his base doesnt want to pick their own fruit and veggies,

do their own roofing, watch their own children or clean up construction sites and really want to be able to have a workforce they can tap into that will cost a fraction of what they'd have to pay Proud Boys.

His supporters don't give a shit about the legalities of workers, they care about profit and Desantis is threatening theirs.

It's about time that Immigrants garner a slice of America from the pie that so many have been hoarding. I think Desantis is pushing things that way through his own inability to see things through to logical conclusions.
