WE THE PEOPLE ... so why is trump ignoring us?

Why is our democratic system so screwed up? trump? limbaugh? hannity? anything on FOX? Or maybe we have tolerated idiots because we believe in free speech and fairness. NOT ANYMORE. These people will sacrifice our values over their political ambitions and even worse ... financial gain and this is when our country becomes a 'Banana Republic without the bananas' ... quote, de atkinson

The rules of the Paycheck Protection Program keep changing. And the latest rules change has some business owners thinking about giving their money back. Before they do, they should read this.

trump TV network?? FT

The last thing I will tolerate is seeing trump on the TV every night on his newly created network and I am not talking about FOX.
He wants his own and is already investing. When trump loses the election he better be in jail, not on any show spouting lies night after night. THIS madness has got to stop somewhere.

Don Jr. have been looking to buy a station for Trump TV,” said one source briefed on the talks. “This is all about building a Fox competitor. Trump is really aiming to take down Fox,” the person briefed on the deal told me. “The Herrings have no agreements in place, written or oral, to sell any stake of its business or interest in OAN to any party,” Charles P. Herring, president of Herring Networks, OANN’s parent company, said in a letter after this article was published. (A person close to Hicks said he resigned his position from the family business when he joined the RNC and isn’t involved in an OANN deal).


Trump now is on the verge of having that alternative. According to sources, an investor group aligned with his son Don Jr. and the Dallas-based Hicks family is in negotiations to acquire a major stake in One America News Network, the fledgling conservative cable-news channel that features hosts like Jack Posobiec, a chief promoter of the Pizzagate conspiracy. “[RNC co-chair] Tommy Hicks and Don Jr. have been looking to buy a station for Trump TV,” said one source briefed on the talks. “This is all about building a Fox competitor. Trump is really aiming to take down Fox,” the person briefed on the deal told me. “The Herrings have no agreements in place, written or oral, to sell any stake of its business or interest in

Why is it so easy for trump/white collar crooks to break our laws

Seems that there are no penalties or that the crooks like trump can use the law to delay justice until there can never ever be justice. But, fuck, if you are a poor black kid accused of stealing a pack of cigs, you get an execution right there on the hot blacktop, shot dead in the street as if he were like the rabid dog in 'To Kill a Mockingbird"

Americans are fucking fed up. RW idiots trying to define what civil liberty is ... these fuckers want to bring back SLAVERY! Get it?

President Biden, bring back fairness, justice and facts to us.

Flag Day coming near. We the People, own this, not RW belligerents

The US officially adopted the Stars and Stripes flag exactly 232 years ago — here's how it used to look before the current design

Here's what Congress said at the time: "Resolved, that the flag of the United States be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white; that the union be thirteen stars, white in a blue field, representing a new constellation."

Kayleigh McEnany, " Have you no sense of decency?"

... and please take that crucifix chain off during news conferences ... wouldn't want American's to think that you are promoting one religion over another (wink, wink)?

In the spring of 1954, McCarthy picked a fight with the U.S. Army, charging lax security at a top-secret army facility. The army responded that the senator had sought preferential treatment for a recently drafted subcommittee aide. Amidst this controversy, McCarthy temporarily stepped down as chairman for the duration of the three-month nationally televised spectacle known to history as the Army-McCarthy hearings.

The army hired Boston lawyer Joseph Welch to make its case. At a session on June 9, 1954, McCarthy charged that one of Welch's attorneys had ties to a Communist organization. As an amazed television audience looked on, Welch responded with the immortal lines that ultimately ended McCarthy's career: "Until this moment, Senator, I think I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness." When McCarthy tried to continue his attack, Welch angrily interrupted, "Let us not assassinate this lad further, senator. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

"Everybody's broke darling" Just watched the movie on TCM, pre code

https://www.classicchicagomagazine.com/dinner-at-eight/

It’s 1933, the Great Depression is in full swing, “Everybody’s broke, Darling”, everybody’s cheating, husbands, wives, businessmen, even the President and “everything’s the matter with the affairs of the nation.” To top it off the wrong class torments the right class, vulgar opportunists blackmailing maids, cooks dropping “dressy” aspic on the floor, cheeky bellboys skimming liquor money, butlers knifing chefs, and a Montana miner trying to take over the company of an Old Guard shipping magnate. Although everyone is pulleying themselves up fist by fist there is always something or someone ready to cut the rope.


Maybe we will all be saying this in a year or so?

Maybe we should call face masks something else to get idiots to wear one

How about: Chin hammock ? Mustache sling? Dribble catch? Anyone else care to be creative?

Just had a 2 hour call with high school best friend.

She is Medical Doctor. She teaches at a University and runs a cancer treatment facility. Now, she is required to report for service in in the ER, Covid wards, or intensive care units with all Covid patients ... 2 week on 2 weeks off (in case Covid infected). She is a single mother with 2 daughters and a mother in a nursing home.

WELL GUESS THE FUCKING WHAT? The hospital just cut her pay by 20%. YES< THESE FUCKERS THAT RUN HOSPITALS ARE CUTTING PAY TO OUR FRONT LINE WORKERS>

She told me that she was very afraid to show up to work because she only has flimsy surgical masks that will never protect the wearer from this virus. But, she shows up every day. FUCK PENCE< FUCK TRUMP.


I have to edit post because my friend wears a surgical mask when entering the hospital and at her clinics. She did say to me that the folks in ICU, emergency rooms, wards do have PPE's ... she said that those folks are more protected in these Covid units than she is.

A question: How soon after infection with Covid-19 can it be detected?

Even with the tests that say yesterday you were not infected but today you are. White House folks are infected, including Secret Service. Can they get a handle on this outbreak or are the infections baked in?
