There is a word for what you described: RED HERRING. We must use it as often as we can. Good job Mr. Hartman. The so called "Culture wars" are a red herring. The really important issues are economic.

This is really our number One story and has been for years.

Thanks again Thom for reminding us of the base of mostly all of our problems in this Country.

The greed of these wealthiest people is supported as you have said, by the Supreme Court six , they know who they are , they’ve encouraged this agenda for as long as they’ve

been in office.

They have been chosen by Republicans including miserly Mitch McConnell, blocked a Democratic presidents right to make his nomination to the Court.

These slippery Republicans get more slimy every time we turn around.

Its their job

To keep the country off balance.

So Trumps indictments are the current big story.

Trump has worked his satanic magic on his followers.

This has a portion of his supporters believing a lie , intended to overthrow the legitimately elected president , as proven by 60 court verdicts that repeated over and over again : no election fraud.

Its all part of this creation of power/ greed/ money.

A cycle of dominance > authoritarianism > fascism, continuing in a cycle. That is ignoring 90 % of Americans and lowering drastically our quality of life.

How interesting that this subjugated quality of life

bothers not one of these very wealthy oligarchs .

Why should it their quality of life is beyond their greediest expectations.
