Now This News – Good for Austin! (ant that’s how you “defund” the police)

Really American

Founders Sing

Glenn Kirschner – 8 minutes but very telling

The Alt-Right Playbook – The Ship of Theseus

Beau keeps hammering on accountability for the same reason all sane people do – we don’t want to lose the United States over the lack of it.

  1. MT Tweet:  I do not get it.
    Now This: It may be that having themes for the “formerly” homeless will save much of what would otherwise have had to be spent on policing them
    RA: Belushi, I’m with you, anytime!
    FS: Biden, VW, Tesla, Ford, all going in foe EV’s.   Just hoping it’s not too late.
    GK: The case seems very clear, and the evidence that the seditious conspiracy was quite broad keeps coming in. These self-poroclaimed “Patriots” need to become very familiar with the bowels of federal penitentiaries.
    Playbook: I like that!
    Man of a Thousand Tee Shirts: “…it’s just training, it’s practice.”  Perfect!  No Gerald Ford! I have read that if congress were not in recess, ford may have been talked out of pardoning Dicky.  We, need to see Trump prosecuted, along with his seditious helpers, congressional and corporate, and Alex Jones, for his $ support of the rally.

    • MT tweet – did yu walt long enough for the picture to load?  If not, try waiting a little longer, and if it still doesn’t load, click on the blue bird, or if you don’t see that, click around until it takes you to twitter.  The picture makes it pretty clear IMO.

  2. MT: Nice truck, hard to overlook. They’re asking for funding; having two trucks driving around would be better.

    FB: A deal, really? Who would do such a thing? 45

    NTN: It’s not a question of defunding but of getting priorities straight. It’s wonderful to see this happening in a Texan city. Go Austin!

    RA: Republicans should be exposed, using their own words against them, no doubt about that. But I don’t see it happening in the right-wing, Murdoch-owned media. do you? They’re right back to generating fake news and telling porkies. The only thing they miss now is Trump’s megaphone.

    FS: Come on, everybody, join in.

    GK: In a very lawyerly way, Mr Kirschner makes a clear-cut case for Trump’s seditious conspiracy. I’m sure Trump’s trial for his second impeacment will hinge on this. In a normal trial, Trump would without doubt be convited. But when 50% of the judges are Republicans, of whom a number should be convited of seditious conspiracy themselves, there isn’t a chance in hell Trump is going to get a ‘fair’ hearing, i.e. Republicans will refuse to hear and acknowledge the truth.

    Playbook: Again a ver good lesson but to someone on the left, i.e. me, also a little discouraging and depressing. It seems the left can’t ever win because we inherently aren’t as mean and devious as the (extreme) right. Our ‘meanness’ doesn’t amout to more than bad people on the left hurting people further on the left. This may be the reason why extremists on the left do not form discernable groups with leaderships like they do on the other side of the spectrum, like the Proud Boys or the KKK, and are scooped together under Antifa to ‘counter-balance’ Alt-Right.

    Beau: I’m not very familiar with the participants in the conversation but Beau’s conclusions are straight from my (non-American) heart. ACCOUNTABILITY FIRST

    • “Mad Dog” Mattis was Trump**’s first Secretary of Defense, and also one of the first to leave in disgust.He’s been pretty quiet since, but though he may have put his mouth away for a while, he didn’t put his brain away.  (Possibly the [paraphrased] comment “You gotta be nervous when the sanesy person in the administration is the one whose nickname is ‘Mad Dog.'” will jog your memory a bit.)

  3. Mark Zuckerberg wields WAY too much power – and not in a benevolent way.  This is what I always think of when Zuckerberg comes out as a topic:

    https://www.businessinsider.com/embarrassing-and-damaging-zuckerberg-ims-confirmed-by-zuckerberg-the-new-yorker-2010-9

    Like Trump – he only looks out for his own interests.  How much money does he need, anyway?

    • You messed up the name.  Replace Z with F! 07

      • Tennessee Williams would have found Zuckerberg’s name highly appropriate.  To him, white was the color od evil, and anything white was not to be trusted.  And he explicitly extended that to sugar at least once that I know of (in “Suddenly Last Summer.”)

  4. Thanks JD! 02

    MT – Like Father, like Daughter (if he** actually is the father.).

    NT – Kudos!  What a great idea!

    RA – That needed a Barf Bag Alert!!

    FS – Love it!

    GK – Someone needs to STOP Trump’s** but holr with a Saguaro Cactus!

    Alt-Right – Floating the Republican Ship of Theseus is like sailing a steel brick.
