Swalwell: The Overwhelming Majority Of Capitol Police Are Heroes

We don't want to eat foods produced by inexperienced temporary workers....

and particularly workers who have crossed picket lines.

I'll be giving my son who picks up our groceries a list of brands to avoid. Even at 35YO, he still loves his Pop Tarts and Pringles but will sacrifice for this cause. Unfortunately, I don't have a way to know who produces my Kroger store brand cereals.

It's unfortunate that most Americans either will not care or not even be aware of this strike.

ALL prisons, not just private, should have intense scrutiny by members of the public.

Anyone like myself who has worked with people in prison knows the human misery suffered by many, including neglect of health care, especially when public prisons farm out health care and food service. In addition, rehabilitation in the USA is mostly a cruel joke.

Abuse of human rights behind the bars is common around the world. "Out-of-sight/out-of-mind" is the driving principle that allows abuse. Private jails and prisons are even further away from public scrutiny.

If the the public wants people imprisoned for breaking laws then we must accept full responsibility for insuring humane treatment for all those we remove from our society.

KY rant done....

Christopher Ramirez, the 3-year-old boy missing since Wednesday in Grimes County has been found

Considering risk vs reward, I'm prone to say no.

I have trouble envisioning any possible positive reward for the Committee considering tRump's life-long record with depositions and public statements - that is, he always manages to deceive, distort and deflect any responsibility away from himself. Essentially, he would say "all I did was give a speech at a public rally and then go home".

The potential risks are...
* the national and international press with their thirst for sensationalism would cover such an event 24/7 for days, thereby putting TFG back in the spotlight with free press time.
* the right-wing public and social media machine would spin the event into a massive pity pot campaign event, showing it as revenge and punishment against their dear god-figure leader.Their spin programming would go on for at least a month.
* I strongly suspect the MAGA crowd along with the accompanying press hoard would create a huge public problem with a mass protest during such an event - something our fight against COVID and Washington, DC does not need. Violence would almost be guaranteed.

Could this be achieved through a closed sworn deposition, perhaps before a federal judge? Testimony could be released to the public, forcing MAGATs to READ something.

KY....... ........

What a piece of right-wing work he is....

From the NBC article on the raid, that says the FBI raided his home along with the union office:

snips....

UTUSN you probably can't change the mind of that writer but what you are doing is.....

keeping an opposing and truthful view in front of your paper's readers and that's very important.

Presenting them with irrefutable facts helps to, such as "what the President did in Afghanistan is what the majority of Americans wanted. That is, out of that seemingly endless war, and there was no pretty way to do it".

Keep up the good work!........

"Worth" has a different meaning to most humans.

For humanity, tRump and thousands like him have negative worth and they're an albatross around our necks.

Let's remind ourselves regularly that the market's idea of worth is ultimately derived off the backs of hundreds of millions of everyday working folks.


We live in a trickle-up world, otherwise known as feudalism...... .......

I've always seen the silent majority as those with little or no voice.....

that is, the homeless, the poor, most people of color, the infirm, the elderly and people in prison. All told, they probably are a majority and their silence is not a matter of choice.

Those of us mentioned by Mr. Timmer do have a voice but we don't shout or tell lies and distortions and we don't control massive media outlets as the right wing does.

He makes a good point that we're seldom heard in popular media. That's because we don't do sensationalism and entertainment.
