There are nearly innumerable expletives that could pepper this post but for some reason I am trying to be civil on occasion. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So for the beginning of my comment, at least, it may take on a civil tone. No Guarantee how the end will look however.

There are nearly innumerable expletives that could pepper this post but for some reason I am trying to be civil on occasion. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. So for the beginning of my comment, at least, it may take on a civil tone. No Guarantee how the end will look however.
~~~ Gerrymandering has been with us & has been very successful to the detriment to our democracy. And now I wonder if it's too late for the dying lady of liberty & lady justice?? There are days when I have a lot of fight within me to do what I can to save our country but then I see people, corporations, influencers just cave BEFORE that egomaniac takes office. I have raised the question about why we, the little people, are responsible to do all the fighting & saving while those with the means & influence to fight can just open their goddam coffers to trump & his merry band of thieves.
Have we become that venal, that lazy, that traitorous that those who CAN do something just roll over & show their bellies to the BEAST about to gut our coffers of power & influence & goodness?
It really is so hard to take. Every goddam time I watch the news (And I'll be up front, I pretty much only watch some select shows on MSNBC, by the way I stopped recording Morning Joe after they slithered down to Mar A Lago.), to repeat, every time I watch the news I get more & more disgusted, irate, depressed, sickened, furious to the point of practically screaming at the TV.
~~~All the talk of gutting this program & that program & handing more & more wealth to the wealthy. Then there are all the promises of deportations that so many 'Americans' (I use that term very loosely here.) are elated about. Have you seen/heard where, now in Missouri they are planning on legalizing bounty hunting illegal immigrants? They want to to offer $1,000 to anyone that can bring in an illegal immigrant!!!!!!! What the fuck???(See, I told you no guarantees about the expletives.) I live here in California & I am lucky enough to have lovely Hispanic lady, Maria, to do some house cleaning for me every 2 weeks. I don't know her legal status, I don't care about it, she is a friendly woman who does a great job for me. Her English is limited but we can converse pretty well & damn, she makes the absolutley BEST TAMALES! She was generous & kind enough to give me 2 at Thanksgiving, YUMMY. (Pardon my wandering off subject but it's a nice interlude to think of someone kind, hard working & generous.) So, if I lived in Missouri, what would happen to this wonderful woman? I mean surely she would be targeted, she looks Hispanic, speaks broken English so she must be illegal & she's worth a thousand bucks if she gets turned it!!!!! (Typing this just about brought on a spasm of nausea.)
~~~So gerrymander away, US, gerrymander away decency, generosity, morals, kindness, hope, caring, love, go ahead & do it but STOP saying you're Making America Great Again, GROSS,, definitley but GREAT, no way.
Great heart felt post Normalcy. I agree with every word, and feel the same emotion you feel. I have zero problems with immigrants, but leave it up to the authorities to catch and weed out the criminals.
I also remind people, that it was legal migrants that brought criminals into the US.The Jewish Mafia, the Irish Mafia, the Italian Mafia, the Armenian Mafia, the Albanian mafia, and on it goes. Jared Kushners father was part of the Russian or Jewish mafia., Joseph Kennedy Sr and Grace Kelley's father,. John B, were part of the Irish mafia.
Oh no, Return. "Have you seen/heard where, now in Missouri, they are planning on legalizing bounty hunting illegal immigrants?" I will look that up. That's terribly dangerous and so wrong.
I really am a troglodyte Danul. When you say Channel I think of TV, not the computer.
I do watch, yourube on occasion, but I'm eclectic, my preferences are history, archaelogy, military, languages and culture. On occasion I see some presenter talking about his channel, and have no idea what it means, but I must have ADHD or something because there is no way I can sit through someone droning on for 30 minutes, and hour or more about something, and that goes for podcasts too.
It looks like everyone has a podcast today, and I just can't sit through an hour of ,listening to one person and their opinion.
Same with substack, it seems that just about 10% of the readers of this and Thom Hartmann's substack have substacks of their own. Not interested, substacks are opinions and like assholes everyone has them, same with podcoasts. I hunder for info, but not info from within the echo chamber, not from within a silo.
And I think, or at least I hope I can separate facts from bullshit.

But true. Saw it On Democracy.
You watch Democracy Now Daniel? I use to donate to them faithfully, until I detected their pro Putin position,then they became pro HAMAS.
On Democrqacy, F.P. Wellman, my friend from Vote Vets. He lives in St. Louis...
On Democracy is that a substack?
Yes, and a TV show and a website.
A TV show, what station: On Satellite ?
Actually 3 sites. Midastouch, Votevets and podcasts. https://www.youtube.com/@ondemocracypodcast
