Lindsay Graham:

Senate Judiciary Chair Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., said in a Thursday appearance on "Fox & Friends" that the Supreme Court needs a ninth justice before the election, because the votes will be contested — and "the courts will decide" the winner."

'Army For Trump' ads incite armed militias to intimidate voters in 'election security operation', also Don Jr. doesn't look so good

President Donald Trump's son stars in this new "defend your ballot" ad, and says: "We need every able-bodied man and woman to join Army for Trump's election security operation…we need you to help us watch them."

 

 

 

"Holy ***

"I mean, what else does one even say about these insane nwq Trump-Pence ads, and the curiously addled Don Jr., who resembles a crackhead in the throes of addiction? What else does one say, but holy ****. Long past time for Twitter and Facebook, where these ads are trending, to take action — the ads are lying, and they're inciting armed violence against Americans."

Kathy said: He is cruel to his people. And you want him to win because he makes his detractors lose their minds? Wow.

You must be a very angry person to find joy in that.

wheeler:I"M NOT ANGRY! "You must be a very angry gullible person to find joy believe in that.'
 
Translated: I know you are, but what am I?
****** 
That was pretty cool Kathy, like a teacher talking to an errant child. But he has stated this many times that his intention is to just rile and agitate people.

I was telling people here even before Trump  that there was  danger of the JFKA Conspiracy being co opted by right wing wackos, and sure enough, you're seeing it being equivocated more and more and painted with the same broad brush.

As far as Wheeler, it was this salacious need to hear greater, more comprehensive  webs of intrigue of elites that a few of the enablers just couldn't resist, but they never end up  really going anywhere.  I can gauge the "addiction to conspiracy quotient' by the interest in his posts. Wheeler really is conspiracy porn.
 
Everyone's relation is different. Some just take his abuse, It's sort of like tolerant liberals to extol free speech, and yet never be able to say to themselves the word "as-hole". 
Some put up some very entertaining resistance. W. likes to spar with him, which never seems productive but is occasionally fun. I've always thought Di Eugenio as Wheeler's chief apologist and enabler. He's kind of got Jim Di on the run now which is funny.
And he's so terrified of Cliff and I, he's put us "ignore". 
 
But I guess the next choke point is the election and the period following. I'm sure he'll  just be endlessly spamming with greater agitation.

Kathy, I assume you do not live in California.  Or you would not say that.

California is probably the most liberal state in the USA.  It got that way due to a long lost politician named Pete Wilson.   Wilson wanted to ban all state benefits, including education, from anyone who was not a citizen of the state.  Anyone who lives here and is old enough to recall that power play will tell you that it marked the end of any kind of GOP hegemony in Sacramento.  In the former land of Reagan and Nixon, today, try and find a  statewide office held by Republicans.  In fact, more people register independent than GOP. Today, California is 39 percent Latino, and 15 percent Asian. This is why it was so stupid for Wilson to run like that.  People remember.

Also, the NRA hates California because of our strict gun laws.  Walk any street in the state and count how many nuts like Kyle RIttenhouse with a rifle you will see.  I can tell you right now, you won't see any. Its even hard to get a concealed weapon permit here.  

I am really serious when I say that it would be a good idea for California, Oregon and Washington to break away from the USA. Because its so much more liberal on the west coast than the rest of the country.

To this point: Trump could campaign in California for 15 days.  And Biden could not come here at all.  And Trump will still lose by 2-3 million votes.  And since we go by the Electoral College, Biden will get all the votes.  BTW, I don't agree with that doctrine about Electoral votes running things.  I think we should go by the popular vote; but we don't so that is the way it is.  

Therefore, I can vote for the party that I really think represents change, and also needs my vote.  So I will vote for Hawkins.  Now if I lived back in my old state of Pennsylvania, I could not do that.  But thankfully I do not.

I recommend heeding the Rhode Island Green Party proclamation:

"On May 28, 2020, the Green Party of Rhode Island announced that it would not place a presidential candidate onto the ballot for the first time since 1996 citing the danger of Donald Trump winning reelection.[36][37] Hawkins later announced that he would petition as an independent candidate under the partisan label "Independent Left" in Rhode Island.[38] However, only 897 of the 1,000 signatures needed were validated preventing Hawkins from appearing on the Rhode Island ballot.[39]

Chris, that is due to tthe faux reaction by the MSM that tried to blame Trump winning on the Green party. It was led by Kurt Eichenwald in Newsweek.

He used this ostensibly as an excuse for why HRC lost.

He showed  his hack form by leaving out  an important part of the equation.  That is that the Libertarian party, led by Gary Johnson, got three times as many votes as the Greens did.  Jill Stein polled three million less votes than Johnson did.

If its reasonable to assume that the Greens would have voted for HRC, is it not also reasonable to assume the Johnson votes would have gone for the GOP?  After all Ron Paul ran as a Republican.  So did his son

But Eichenwald did his job as an MSM hack. And Perez and the DNC, ever so corrupt, has gotten the Greens removed from a couple of states, and this is part of that.

The whole idea by Kurt, a vet of the NY TImes, was not of course to actually try and find out why HRC lost. That would have taken a very careful, assiduous, micro analysis.  It was to do what the MSM wants always to do: to narrow the political spectrum that people can choose from. It appears it worked.

I never fell for it, since my friend e mailed me immediately and said: Why did he leave out the Libertarian angle?

This narrowing of the spectrum has been going on of course since 1963.  And its one of the things you learn if you study the cases from the sixties. Those instances were more lethally done, but the MSM hopped on the bandwagon anyway.

Once again Trump and Melania face huge crowd booing and chants of "Vote Him Out." So loud and unified it forced them both to walk out of a nationally covered public ceremony.

For the second time in Trump's presidency he has encountered unprecedented mass booing and chants of rejection while attending a large public event with thousands of Americans not screened like those at his staged rallies.

Friday, September 25, while safe distance standing together directly behind recently deceased Supreme Court Judge Ruth Bader Ginsberg's flag draped coffin on display on the steps of the Supreme Court building, thousands of people in the gathered crowd below spontaneously burst out in unified booing and chanting "Vote Him Out." "Vote Him Out."

The pitch and intensity of this angry chanting grew to such a loud level, Trump and his wife reactively soon turned and walked back into the bldg to escape the embarrassing scene.

For the first time in recent presidential history,Trump faced a similar scene of thousands angrily booing him and chanting "Lock Him Up" ... "Lock Him Up" at last year's World Series in Washington D.C. with a packed stadium crowd of over 50,000.

The booing was so loud and continuous it stopped the normal public address announcing for several minutes.

That kind of mass vocal public rejection of a sitting President at one of our most iconic national sporting events was a first. No President has ever encountered such mass jeering at highest celebrated, national audience watched public events until Trump.

The World Series Trump booing scene was reported and replayed in the national media, though the loudness of the booing and chants was reportedly turned down in some of the replayed broadcasts.

Appearing before huge assemblages of public citizenry audiences besides highly screened campaign rally ones has not been a glowingly receptive experience for this President. At least in these two highly viewed situations.

Reflection of unprecedented angry societal divisiveness amongst our citizenry? 

It appears so.

Watch Trump Get Booed at Visit to Ruth Bader Ginsburg Casket

2 days ago - On Thursday, the crowd at the viewing for the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg booed President Trump and Melania Trump ...

The president wants you dead — and so do his friends and advisers. It’s that simple

By David Masciotra, Salon – Commentary September 27, 2020

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/09/the-president-wants-you-and-so-do-his-friends-and-advisers-its-that-simple/

“Recent revelations should force Americans to consider an even darker reality, and gather insight into the malevolence of humanity that is typically accessible only in barbaric episodes of history and frightening stories of literature. The most powerful man in the federal government delights in the infliction of pain, misery and grief.”

“Sharpening Occam’s razor, it is important to note that Trump’s cruelty surpasses indifference. He is not only refusing to help — he is actively promoting the spread of the virus with his mockery of masks and packed indoor rallies.”

“It is by now common to compare Trump to a cult leader. As Jonestown, Heaven’s Gate, the Order of the Solar Temple and many other cults have demonstrated, the leaders of especially destructive cult movements eventually turn on their own people, ordering mass suicide as the ultimate exercise of power.”

 

I read something a long time ago that I have always kept to heart.

"Never underestimate the capacity for man's inhumanity to man."

Humble and Kind

by Lori McKenna

 

You know there's a light that glows by the front door
Don't forget the key's under the mat
When childhood stars shine
Always stay humble and kind

Go to church 'cause your mamma says to
Visit grandpa every chance that you can
It won't be wasted time
Always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind


When the dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

Don't expect a free ride from no one
Don't hold a grudge or a chip and here's why
Bitterness keeps you from flyin'
Always stay humble and kind

Know the difference between sleeping with someone
And sleeping with someone you love
"I love you" ain't no pick-up line
So always stay humble and kind

Hold the door, say "please", say "thank you"
Don't steal, don't cheat, and don't lie
I know you got mountains to climb
But always stay humble and kind
When those dreams you're dreamin' come to you
When the work you put in is realized
Let yourself feel the pride
But always stay humble and kind

When it's hot, eat a root beer popsicle
Shut off the AC and roll the windows down
Let that summer sun shine
Always stay humble and kind

Don't take for granted the love this life gives you
When you get where you're going don't forget turn back around
And help the next one in line
Always stay humble and kind

The Kleptocrats’ Money-Laundering Middleman Who Did Deals With Trump

EXCERPT

by Tom Burgis Sep. 27, 2020

From Kleptopia: How Dirty Money Is Conquering the World; Copyright © 2020 By Tom Burgis.

https://www.thedailybeast.com/the-kleptocrats-money-laundering-middleman-who-did-deals-with-trump?ref=home

 

“In office, Trump helped to construct a new global alliance suited to the times. It was an alliance of kleptocrats. They might at times seem like rivals, even enemies. In truth they were united in their common resolve to advance the privatization of power. And what progress they had made. With Trump’s election, they controlled the three great poles of power. In the White House, a launderer, installed with the help of Putin’s Kremlin. And in Beijing, Xi Jinping. They had prime access respectively to the great repositories of plunder: the world’s biggest economy, the riches of the former Soviet Union, the one-party state containing a fifth of humanity.”
