Listen To Don

On Friday, January 30th, 2026, Don Lemon was among other journalists arrested by the Trump DOJ, for his coverage of the protest last Sunday, at a church in Minnesota. He was there as a journalist! Here is his response to this situation and his arrest. Trump sent a huge threat to all of us with this arrest. If this is allowed to stand, we are all in grave danger! We need free speech. We need a free press. We need the 1st Amendment to stand! Stop asking if we are sliding toward Fascism. Make, NO MISTAKE, we are already living in a Fascist state!

 I stand with Don Lemon!

We must listen to Don!

The shooters in last Saturday's mass shooting, in Stockton, still have not been caught! Perhaps they would have by now, had Elon Musk and Donald Trump, not raped the office, here in Stockton called, Advance Peace Stockton, defunding it under the guise that DOGE was saving us all money by closing grants and programs that they had NO IDEA did! We are all in peril. Every single one of us. What programs that affect you the most, have been closed since Donald Trump took office? Do you even know?

What a couple of Heroes!

With 410 Days To Go... Are You Any Better Off?

 

Some thoughts... 

 

“Decades ago, George Orwell suggested that the best one-word description of a Fascist was “bully,” and on the day of the Normandy invasion, Franklin Roosevelt prayed to the Almighty for a “peace invulnerable to the schemings of unworthy men.” By contrast, President Trump’s eyes light up when strongmen steamroll opposition, brush aside legal constraints, ignore criticism, and do whatever it takes to get their way."

     
~Madeleine K. Albright,

 Fascism: A Warning

“Do not obey in advance.

Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.”

 
~Timothy Snyder

  On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century

“If everybody always lies to you, the consequence is not that you believe the lies, but rather that nobody believes anything any longer.”

 
~Hannah Arendt

“Social conservatism and neoconservatism have revived authoritarian conservatism, and not for the better of conservatism or American democracy. True conservatism is cautious and prudent. Authoritarianism is rash and radical. American democracy has benefited from true conservatism, but authoritarianism offers potentially serious trouble for any democracy.” 

~John W. Dean,

  Conservatives Without Conscience

 

“[No] social principle in the world is more foolish and dangerous than the rapidly rising notion that hurtful words and ideas are a form of violence or torture (e.g., “harassment”) and that their perpetrators should be treated accordingly. That notion leads to the criminalization of criticism and the empowerment of authorities to regulate it. The new sensitivity is the old authoritarianism in disguise, and it is just as noxious.”

 
~Jonathan Rauch,

  Kindly Inquisitors: The New Attacks on Free Thought  

 

 “The authoritarian character worships the past. What has been, will eternally be. To wish or to work for something that has not yet been before is crime or madness. The miracle of creation—and creation is always a miracle—is outside of his range of emotional experience.”
 

~Erich Fromm,

        Escape from Freedom

 

“Flattery is directly proportional to authoritarianism. For this reason, flattery can be said to be one of the main signs of the non-existence of freedom and democracy in the political system. The more "honeyed words", the greater the deprivation of personal liberty.”

 
~Elmar Hussein  

 

  “Democracy can exist only in the countries where people are brave! Coward nations always live under the authoritarian regimes!”

Don't Be Rash

 

“Some people never go crazy. What truly horrible lives they must lead.” 

 
~Charles Bukowski 

 

Am I the only one who sees the humor in something like this? I was at the hospital the other day, when I saw this and kinda snickered to myself. No one else seemed to be sharing my sense of humor at that particular moment, in fact most walked past me and glanced at me like I was nuts, and I am of course, but I couldn't help it, the 12 year old in me found it endlessly amusing! I suppose when a rash begins on one's body, it would be the rashes entrance into one's life, and, if cured, it would take it's exit! It's the natural flow ... right?

 

 I wish more things, and people knew when to just fuck all the way off!.

The Day America Left The Free World

 

 "All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream."

 

~Edgar Allen Poe 

 

Because of Donald Trump, we are no longer part of the free world. His treatment of the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, at the White House today, Trump proved, yet again, he has no intention of saying out loud that Putin is a dictator. Not just that, but Trump and Vance ambushed Zelensky in true bullying fashion. See the video below. The world, western Europe in particular, offered their unwavering support for Ukraine, as they should, while Donald Trump basked in the glory of the reality show drama, which he does so well, and serves up to his MAGA base. Red meat. Juicy lies. Delicious backstabbing of your friends. The reality show they all crave. Life is about to get real, but reality has become subjective, so will it even matter as the missiles fly? As for myself, I am taking it for granted I don't have long to live free. After that, only God knows. Is it, Punch A Nazi Day, yet?

I Swear To GOD I've Tried...

"Donald Trump is a phony, a fraud.

 His promises are as worthless as a degree from Trump University."

 

~Mitt Romney

 

I swear to god that I have tried to tune out all the noise, including Donald Trump, who is mostly wind, but today he hit a new low in politicizing the plane crash that occurred in Washington D.C. and I just can't sit quiet! He's such a jackass. He took the oath of office a little over 10 days ago, and in the time he has done a lot of damage across government, but to imply that the crash happened because of DEI and democrats, with NO PROOF, is not just stupid, it is beyond cruel to the victims, families of the victims, and their friends. It sometimes take years to fully investigate the cause of the crash. YEARS! So truly, save me your conspiracy theories! I am trying so hard to not sit here with deep anger, and deep sadness, but I find myself failing magnificently. I should be posting a photo of a glorious bird, but instead Ellipsis is filing another example of yet another deep low Donald Trump has reached and how it affects a little fish like me. I am already tired.

Tomorrow I will post something of beauty.

I promise.

 

UPDATE...

 

 

By the way, this happened in the week before the crash.

I know I probably only have a few of you out there still reading this blog, but even it I am only reaching one of you, please know I appreciate you for still visiting me. I want the best for you, and all of us, so please VOTE on Tuesday. If you haven't already done so, please really consider the character of the candidates. Consider whether they will have a higher agenda that serves the general population or whether their agenda serves only themselves. And most importantly, write down what is important to you, what will affect you in the future, so think beyond the here and now.

 

 Choose wisely.

I want to think about autumn, but things like this keeps happening...

 

Trump's campaign is trying to throw this "comedian" under the bus, by saying his "humor" does not align with their values, but they vetted him, and they loaded his jokes into the teleprompter, so once again, as far as Trump's little MAGAt posse goes, Trump gets a pass. He had nothing to do with the grotesque jokes made by the comic, and we should all just ignore the fact that each of his surrogates said pretty much everything Trump said was in the same vein as the vileness this guy spewed. It was one racist, misogynistic, lie after another. So make NO MISTAKE, that rally Trump held at Madison Square Garden was a political NAZI rally, not an American political campaign event. They are now saying the quiet part out loud. Nazism is running for president, and it's hidden in a cult of personality. So how do I get in touch with the autumn inside me, when this might be the last free election we spend as Americans.

 

 One week from today will decide our future. Our fate.

With Fear For Our Democracy, I Dissent...

  

"With fear for our democracy, I dissent."

 

~Justice Sotomayor 

This final paragraph of Judge Sotomayor's decision, pretty much seals it. On this day, July 1st, 2024, we have, in affect, a King, not a President. Today, we lost America. I will never forgive the justices who allowed Trump to ruin us. He couldn't have done it without them! Today Jack Smith has not only been knee capped, his legs are broken and his gut punched.

In The Words Of Justice Sotomayor...

"The majority’s single-minded fixation on the President’s need for boldness and dispatch ignores the countervailing need for accountability and restraint. The Framers were not so single-minded. In the Federalist Papers, after “endeavor[ing] to show” that the Executive designed by the Constitution “combines . . . all the requisites to energy,” Alexander Hamilton asked a separate, equally important question: “Does it also combine the requisites to safety, in a republican sense, a due dependence on the people, a due responsibility?” The Federalist No. 77, p. 507 (J. Harvard Library ed. 2009). The answer then was yes, based in part upon the President’s vulnerability to “prosecution in the common course of law.” Ibid. The answer after today is no. Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be immune from criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal law. Moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such immunity. If the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop. With fear for our democracy, I dissent."

The People Call Stormy Daniels... Day 2

 

 

"He made me sit and watch an entire documentary

 ~Stormy Daniels

 — 60 Minutes

 

( On what she and Trump did after sex with her. )

Judge Merchan
May 9th 2024

Gross, but still a necessary part of the story. I am relieved her testimony is over, and I am sure she is too! The media's talking heads seemed to think she did much better today, then she did a couple days ago. It was obvious that he was nervous to be in the same room with the man, for the first time since the news of their sexual encounter broke, and under these circumstances to add to the fun. She was treated badly by the defense attorneys. There was a strong implication that Stormy brought everything on herself. That because she was a porn actress, she should have known Trump would try to make a move.It was sick. I think she did her best on both days. She showed up. She told the truth under oath, and she made a clear point when she told one of Trump's lawyers, basically, if I were lying, I would have told a better story. That was paraphrased by me, of course.

 

Via MSNBC 

 

 Anyway, I don't consider Stormy a hero, nor a villain. I think she is a lady who got caught up in Trump's notoriously icky behavior. Trump cheated on his first two wives, so it's not a stretch to believe he would cheat on Melania as well. And if he cheated, and didn't want it to come out before the 2016 election, well, again it's not a stretch to believe he paid her, and Karen McDougal off! He has led a life of, throw money at it, and move on. The NDA has been his friend. So, now that the her testimony is over, it's time to move onto other witnesses, big and small. Soon Michael Cohen will be on the stand, and that might just be a bigger storm that Stormy Daniels was.

"I won't give up because I am telling the truth

And I kind of don't even know if it matters anymore."

"Fourteenth Amendment  Equal Protection and Other Rights

Section 3 Disqualification from Holding Office

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof.

It's not unexpected that the Supreme Court ruled the way they did, but it seems that they handed him another win. You can read and download a PDF of the judgement here. Also be sure to see Judge Luttig's opinion of today's decision on Youtube (CNN)

 

 

 

Body Language

 

“The measure of a man is what he does with power.” 

~Plato 

 

I am expecting the Supreme Court to rule that Donald Trump is allowed to be on the ballot. You know how I feel about things, but here is a link to the 14th Amendment of the Constitution Section 3. It's not a long read, it's one small paragraph, and that is kinda the joke, isn't it?

One small paragraph is standing between us, and the fall of democracy. The court issued a trigger warning for tomorrow, a rarity on a weekend, so I assume they want both sides to brace for impact. Well, I am doing just that.

I can't stop thinking about this clip of Trump saying something to Justice Kennedy, the night of his retirement announcement. Justice Kennedy seems genuinely taken aback about something. Who knows? Trump is such a goon it could have been anything I suppose, but it also could have been Trump bragging about his political power to do evil, and how the Supreme Court will now be young enough now to continue his agenda for years to come. He made them his bitch.

So what do you think? Was it a devil's handshake?

Guilty... Again!

Via the New York Times

 “A president cannot defend a nation

 if he is not held accountable to its laws.”

 
~DaShanne Stokes 

 

Trump has been convicted, for a second time, for defaming E. Jean Carroll. He is currently going for a third time! He cannot keep his mouth shut. I hope she sees the money, but I am doubtful she will ever see a dime, because he is a fucking slime ball deadbeat. But at least he was found guilty and that provides all of us, including justice, a brighter day. I will keep a good thought for her!

“Be skeptical, ask questions, demand proof. Demand evidence. Don't take anything for granted. But here's the thing: When you get proof, you need to accept the proof. And we're not that good at doing that.”

 
~Michael Specter 

 

17, 990 people died because of Donald Trump. THIS DRUG DID NOT AND WOULD NOT WORK! I knew it then, and I know it now, and so does everyone else, well, not the dead obviously. Donald John Trump is a fucking, opportunistic MONSTER, and I just know if he is reelected he will cause even more folks to lose their lives. I pray that those going to the polls next November will remember not just him telling a frightened America to drink bleach, but that he encouraged American's to take Hydroxychloroquine when he knew there was NO PROOF it would be effective against Covid-19.

Welcome Aboard It's Love

 

"On my tombstone I want it written,

 'He never did The Love Boat'".

 

~Orson Welles

 

OMG, can you imagine if Donald Trump had done an episode of The Love Boat? I found myself pondering that for about 30 minutes the other day, after I spotted that meme of Trump's mug shot. His dumb puss is now on t-shirts, hats, posters and, as you might imagine, mugs. He had made the t-shirts available for order before he even got back on his plane to return to New Jersey, after his booking! He has no dignity. He will continue making money off his own mug shot, demonstrating what truly matters to him, the almighty dollar. Although I suppose if ever there was a time to cash in on his image, now is it!

 

But the cheesy slogan, "Never surrender" is nothing short of a bad joke, because he literally had just surrendered! And to add an additional bit of snicker to the whole situation, Chris LaCivita, whose one of Trump's top advisers, threatened to "go after" anyone who markets Trump's mugshot image in anyway. That silly man thinks he owns his own mugshot image? And he was president? And his "top advisor" didn't know any better either? So all things considered, I think the title of The Love Boat episode would be, Never Surrender. Which let's face it, sounds a lot like the title of a drugstore romance novel, and Trumps co-stars would be 282 Electoral Collage votes he managed to receive in the 2020 election.

Does all this finally answer the question of how we got here?
