All day long the talking TV heads have just had to have their little segment and panel with "experts" on Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden.
I'm sick of it. Don't we have more important things to talk about? Ya know, real things that really matter. Like healthcare, minimum wage, our obscene military budget, opioid addiction, impure water, climate change?
So new rule. When the talking heads do their stupid Biden Biden Biden Biden Biden thing, change the channel or turn off the damn TV.
It's not really a scandal!
Warren's tax returns
Warren has posted 10 years of tax returns on her campaign web site with 2017 being the latest.

What about the war machine budget?
I haven't heard any of our candidates address the obscene budget for the war machine. Do we really need to spend that much on the military?
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Clinton cut the military budget and sold it as a peace dividend. Let's face it, the military budget is the Republican jobs program. Jobs for Hughes and GE and General Dynamics, etc to develop more and more military systems. It's way past time to put a damper on the war machine.
Is euthanasia next?
Hitler used euthanasia to kill off the mentally and physically disabled long before he built the industrial gas-murder factories. In Trump's case, I doubt he would bat an eyelash, if people started dieing for lack of healthcare. In Trump's case, I think that it's more about not taxing his and rich people's money to provide healthcare for anyone. Ditto funding any safety net services.
I have the TV off right now
Usually, I'm pretty calm and don't get riled up, but today the news seems to be all KGOP hateful, vengeful, stupid day. Between killing Obamacare, crippling Special Olympics, hiding Fed reports on toxins to a wide range of species to threatening Rachel Maddow, it seems everyone in the KGOP looney bin has escaped. They just seem crazier than usual. Kinda depressing.
Get ready for Trump retribution and payback for the Mueller investigation
Already I'm hearing and reading that Trump and his political enablers are gearing up for retribution and payback for the discomfort and humiliation he experienced from 2 years of Mueller's investigation. Kelly Ann Conway has already called for Adam Schiff to resign.
Trump, a man with no discernable self control and discipline, a greedy man filled with anger, greed, and vengence will surely over-reach in his vengeful political payback frenzy. I don't think that his Dem critics in the House have one iota of fear about Trump. I known that Maxine Waters, Elijah Cummings, Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Eric Swalwell, and Leader Pelosi are certainly not quaking with fear from Donald Trump.
The fight against this monster and all the investigations that are now queued up are far from over. If anything, I feel an even stronger resolve from Dems to take that monster down, and all the other vermin on the KGOP ship with him. I'm calmly pissed. How about you?

I know that there's at least 4 powerful people, who ain't buying the Barr BS
Leader Nancy Pelosi, Chairman Adam Schiff, Chairman Elijah Cummings, and Chairwoman Maxine Waters. And not a single one of those people are afraid of squat.
Let's face it. We got punked.
From the moment that Trump selected Barr, the fix was in. Actually, the fix was in way back when Trump selected Manafort and Flynn. Even before that, when Republicans refused to meet Gorsuch. We got punked when Mueller omitted interviewing Don Jr. and Kushner and Princess Ivanka.
Even if Mueller had done the honorable thing and listed Trump as a co-conspirator and laid out the case for his obstruction, Republicans would have lied and claimed the report was all lies. There is only one way to divest ourselves of this Trump-Republican criminal conspiracy, and that is to win back the WH and the Senate in 2020.
Surprise, surprise -- It's a cover-up
No interview of Trump, Trump Jr, Princess Trump, or Kushner. I really expected more from Mueller. Barr of course is a patsy. We already know that Republicans would spin it to their advantage, if not downright lie. Alas we have what we have. And now there's just one thing left for us to do -- win big time at the polls in 2020.
college admissions scandal
well I'm not surprised that wealthy individuals cheated to get their kids into elite colleges. The kids who got scholarships for sports they had never played -- well that's pretty cheeky hubris. What I'm here to rant about is the moral depravity that has grabbed our country. When did "anything goes" as moral code for life become so wide-spread.
I'm a Buddhist, and the very foundation of Buddhism is a moral code that includes no lying, no cheating, no stealing -- all non-virtuous behaviors that ultimately result in problems and more suffering. People have thrown away their coaching and academic and careers and for what? For greedy love of money. Some of those arrested today may get prison sentences.
I did a google search and the MSMedia sure has stories on the Hollywood parents, who were arrested. But nothing about the corporate and Wall St parents, who were arrested.
