No matter how you look at it, the USA is the world leader. And Trump led the COVID19 "hoax" among

the western powers. That is why the west, for the most part is in the shape it is in regarding COVID19 pandemic. When many disadvantaged nations much less developed and wealthy than the US handle a pandemic (without vaccination) much better than wealthy western nations one has to look at how and what contributed to our unexpected poor showing.

Boris Johnson followed Trump's initial lead and look what happened as a result. Italy, Spain etc. And while some countries are showing economies that seem to be thriving more because they refused to close down, they did so at a much heavier death rate than necessary.

No question that Trump set the western tone.

And another mass murder is escorted by police while black kids and unarmed black men and women

are shot and killed or choked to death by police for no legitimate reason. This shit is maddening. And every G-D excise is being sought so this killer can be turned into a victim. My head is bursting and my heart is breaking for the families of those murdered in CO today. When will it stop? Will it ever stop? Gun control must be the next big thing after voting rights. Sick to death of this shit!

Is the Trump appointed DOJ spokesperson attempting to thwart the cases against Jan 6

insurrectionists by appearing on 60 Minutes? I don't put anything past the MAGAs

Is the RW war against "cancel culture" really a war against accountability?

I am all for forgiveness and repentance and second chances. But not without accountability.

It appears, to me, that this recent outcry against calling into account anyone we don't like and supporting those we do like in the name of a "war against cancel culture" is being used as another ploy by Trump minions and the fascist RW to excuse and permit their evil racism, misogyny, and homophobia.

Taken to the where I believe they, the RW, want to go means that they want to cancel accountability for Jan 6. Just watch how the conversations go from now on on FOX. Looks like they snagged MoJO and guests into their web. Bill Maher is fully on board.

Am I wrong?

On the filibuster:

Get rid of the filibuster NOW. Put it back later if you want to. But we need to pass legislation while we can. Screw Mitch McConnell and the other GOP Putin apologists.

Just thinking out loud.

The Chinese largely built America's railroad in the past. Is there a chance for a mutual deal with them to help us build back better our railroads of the future? Why is it virtually impossible to deal over mutual interests with countries? Japan? Korea?

Malcom Kenyatta is my new PA hero. Pay attention to him. He is going far.

He is not pushed around and cannot be bullied.

Catch his MSNBC on the stream. He is running for US Senate to replace Toomey.

Well, it looks like the Trump/Putin alliance has sufficiently divided America to its weakest global

position ever. The world watches as the internal divisions, stoked by the Trump-GOP pact, have positioned America to its lowest level of international power and disrespect in our history. I do not believe we were ever so divided as we are now.
