Pence obviously had a short circuit somewhere in his cerebral cortex.

The âWashington Consensusâ is a remarkable collaboration between both parties to advance special interests and literally destroy democracy as we know it. We now clearly have government 100% of by and for corporations, not people.
Thatâs a government without legitimacy.

Oh no, no, it would a tragedy to make the obscenely rich part with any of their treasure. That would make them like the rest of us that have been losing ground for decades! Folks, this is truly about class warfare, donât be fooled.

Thanks Lady K.
Weâre not lemmings but even they realize that there is such a thing as overpopulation.
Though killing ourselves is not the solution, I think that knowingly or not conservatives have always favored culling the herd. They like to start with poor people of color and move on to whatâs left of the middle class.
Unfortunately no one is lobbying the Pope to legalize contraception, to make contraceptives free and readily available, or to introduce sex education in the curriculum.
Barring humane planned parenting, the cruel, bloody job of reducing population by war and such is taken up by the same conservatives that cause population growth in the first place.
Unless we start a conversation about overpopulation and all itâs ramifications, I fear that natureâs will be done as is usual, with lots of needless pain and suffering.

Mr. T, who used to say âI pity the poor foolâ, which provides a good segue to the American people.
I wouldnât âpity the poor foolsâ of âwe the deluded American peopleâ if we would just:
GET âWOKEâ &
âFOLKâ THIS
EMPIRE
If âwe the awake American peopleâ would simply; expose, excoriate, expunge, and âexciseâ this God damned EMPIRE, we would quickly find that all the dozens of little âIssuesâ we talk, write, complain, demonstrate, protest, and yap about â would all start to simply shrivel-up and go away, because all the effin little troublesome âIssuesâ are caused by the very same single thing â Empire â and more specifically, this highly camouflaged and Disguised Global Crony Capitalist EMPIRE.
Iâve used and slightly revised this old and true statement to teach a very simple lesson:
âCanât see the Forest for the Treesâ politically translates in 2020 to:
âCanât see the Empire for the Issuesâ
In other words, this effin Disguised Global Crony Capitalist Empire is smarter, more âstrategicâ, and deceitfully effective than all our running around in circles with merely tactically wasteful energy of yelling about the little âIssuesâ â that are covering-up and disguising the big bad EMPIRE.
To expropriate another line from a famous film:
âIf you do it â (they might not come) â but EMPIRE will collapse and GOâ.
As the stock-broker might say, âJust trust meâ!
But what Iâm saying â and have been saying and writing for decades, is this simple lesson:
âJust focus everything youâve got on the damn EMPIREâ, and all the little âIssuesâ will be solved quickly.
The EMPIRE is the meta-causal cancer disease â which all our founders knew from their deep reading of Roman history, because they knew that âthe disease of Republics is EMPIREâ.
âThe problem my friends is not in the stars, nor in ourselves, nor in the âIssuesâ, but only in the EMPIREâ.
In conclusion, the only question I have is â why are âwe the people of Americaâ so deluded, distracted, âdividedâ, and dumb ---- to be lead by the nose by an EMPIRE, when âthe ringâ is right in front of our noses?

Letâs hope this is Penczelbubâs Mitt Romney moment. I forced myself to listen to his tirade and there was no gaff or slip of the tongue - he meant exactly what is quoted. Go away Pence, too many people now know what side youâre on.

As I read this Iâm sitting in a doctorâs waiting room to find out if Iâve really hit the big time heart disease AND cancer. The 9mm is locked and loaded.
OkâŚand? Is that supposed to be a bad thing al of a sudden?
So, that can be the motto of the democrats. Republicans have, âwe will aggressively work against the best interest of the poor & middle class in order to give the ultra wealthy more money & powerââ
Considering the absurd lie theyâve been telling their voters for decades âthat theyâre the party of the working classâ, Penceâs words donât really seem to go along with that, do they?

His scripted sentence that listed âhorrible thingsâ the liberal Left will do ended with the word abortion. This sentence was âon cueâ for the unmasked attendees their token moment to roar outrage on that hot button issue instead of the others. Many so-called Christians are cleverly manipulative. The King James Commandment Thou shalt not âbear false witnessâ is a broader interpretation than newer versions âYou shall not lieâ which doesnât address how people are misled to believing lies with âhalf-truthsâ that amount to deceit. If one must lie to prevent harm, feel free to lie. Telling half-truth without counter-balancing whole-truth is âdeceptionâ as the worse offense to condemn with claims of moral superiority.
What a tool Pence is.

Of course. Thatâs the good answer, thatâs the true answer, thatâs the only answer.
The biggest issue is that the Republican base has no idea what âsocialismâ means. Thereâs a huge difference between true socialism and the socialist pieces many democrats know would benefit most Americans. Like the ones you mentioned that everyone likes and already do.
Somehow theyâve let their lying gop congressmen make the word into some boogeyman scare tactic. Why donât they understand that the only âsocialistâ ideas most democrats have a huge majority of Americans fully support? Who knows.

This last election biden got almost 20 percentage points more than trump of the âincome under $50,000â vote. Biden got 15% more of the â50-99,000 incomeâ vote. Trump got 12% more of the âover 100,000 incomeâ vote.
Seems less âcozy middle class democrats who wonât do anythingâ and more the lower class screwed over by the Republican leadership forced upon them by a minority or voters.
And what about the wealthy that skews republican? Should they be expected to do anything for the benefit of the lower income democrats throughout America?

I think thatâs one of the reasons itâs remained popular. One can cherry pick it so that its message can advance whatever your chosen ideology may be.
Interesting take. The only problem is that the bailouts were passed by Bush. The TARP program was signed in October, and the car bailouts in December. Obama took over in January.
Obamaâs been linked with them because the programs continued to be carried out while he was president. He was just following the law signed by his predecessor.
But whatâs more important is that itâs rediculous to look at it like, âthey gave money to corporations and not the American peopleâ.
The bailouts saved Americans from the economic devastation that theyâd face when what looked like a second Great Depression truly hit.
The jobs saved and then added over time, and the economic improvement over time benefited all Americans in some way.
Under Obama, the Great Recession was turned around and the economic improvement that began under him continued, with almost zero deviation from the trajectory he started, until it got to the point where trump/republicans called it âthe greatest economy in American historyâ.
Ok ,here goes , what is the purpose of the economy ?
To create wealth for the common good, so that which is good is experienced in common.
Thatâs allâŚ
