"Good blogger" = anyone deleting a "bad journalist".
This is how we know for certain Democrats are communists, protestors are paid communists, “bad journalists” are the “enemy of the people”, Biden stole the 2020 election, and they're eating the dogs in Springfield.
We meet with and encourage Canadian Separatists from Alberta in a bid to woo them away from Canada and to the US.
Let's use Rand Paul theology... would we accept another ally doing that in the US? Say for instance, if Canada or any other country decided they wanted California as part of their country?
We are better than that" -Most of us are. Yet a minority of (misguided?) seem to think land grabs and thugs that shoot American citizens, not just once or twice but using up their whole magazines and treat our long time allies as enemies is making America great again. It sure ain't!
Merely waking up the energies of the 15th century to mid 20th century European colonialism in present day Amerika. Trump's Amerika.
Colonialism is the deep roots of most ot our current world problems today. But hey, humans never learn limportant lessons and apply them long term. And the Dunce in the Oval Office and his sycophants sure as hell learned nothing of value during their miserable lives.
I remember a very heated conversation with my sister at Thanksgiving in 2024 after the election. She kept shaking her head every time I said there are no more guardrails and he can do whatever he wants with no one to stop him. She thought I was be very overly dramatic and insisting tariffs would never happen and just a bluff. We don't discuss anything political anymore but I'd love to know what she thinks is going on now...
Off topic but did you see that Guitarist Al Di Meola and surprise guest Bruce Springsteen appeared at my old Minneapolis haunt, First Avenue today for a benefit concert and to show their support for the city. I hope this raises spirits there as everyone I talk to is so damn exhausted...
possumlady, I'd say your comment is totally on topic. How so?
Well, the Gay's used a phrase back when HIV and AIDS were scary unknowns: "We buried their friends in the morning, protested in the afternoons, and danced at night' because the dance was the vital reason for the protests.
Bruce Springsteen and Guitarist Al Di Meola are the dancing in the night and a very necessary part of the process. I hope the crowd is energized and revitalized because our opponents are not going quietly into the good night.
Oh, have you heard? Our cause is global. Grins. You've no idea how delighted I am that humanity as a whole is looking at authoritarians everywhere and saying, nah, you are so yesterday's news. The kids - they know what they know and are kicking authoritarian butt every day.
And this is off topic (a bit) but the Trumpstein files just dropped another three million pages and... yeah, from what I've heard from the podcasters I listen to... yikes. I hope this brings them all down, globally, because I believe the world is ready for a time where powerful people don't get to steal the futures of kids.
Sending the energy behind universal love your way. Well, to everyone fighting our good fight. Not going to do any wishful thinking as to how this all ends, only hoping that it does end for the good of all and may it harm none.
You make it sound like this is the first time the US strong armed a country. We have a history of using the bully pulpit to get nations to bend to our ways. We act as though democracy is the only answer while we continue to increase government control over our own citizens. Our elected elite are trying to prove that people cannot govern themselves.
Recognition that how this ends is beyond any individual's or group'scontrol is important. The forces of righteousness and evil in the world increase or decrease as a result of each ones collective energy.
The energies working against against truth and decency are now controlling the agenda of the nation. The majority of the nation is in opposition to the evil that the Trump regime and Project 2025 as foisted on the nation. So it is important that all people of integrity with a desire for truth and righteous to join in the COLLECTIVE effort to overturn the evil that Trump, Project 2025, MAGA republicans have forced on the nation.

”A federal judge on Saturday ordered the release of a 5-year-old boy and his father from immigration custody, condemning their removal from their suburban Minneapolis neighborhood as unconstitutional.
The image of Liam Conejo Ramos, wearing a Spider-Man backpack and an oversize fluffy blue winter hat as he was detained by officers earlier this month, spurred outrage at a moment when many were already incensed by the Trump administration’s immigration tactics in Minnesota and elsewhere across the country.
In a blistering opinion, Judge Fred Biery of Federal District Court for the Western District of Texas condemned “the perfidious lust for unbridled power” and “the imposition of cruelty.”
The boy’s father, Adrian Conejo Arias, was also arrested and the pair were taken to an immigration detention center outside San Antonio.”
“Judge Fred Biery, ordered the release of little Liam Ramos, calling his incarceration “unconstitutional” and TEARS into the Trump administration in an absolutely scathing order!
Poor five-year-old Liam Ramos was kidnapped by ICE goons in Minnesota on his way home from school, and then exploited so they could snatch his father too. The image of his tiny, terrified face in a blue hat and wearing his little backpack has struck a chord with the nation, horrified by the cruelty and the heartlessness of Stephen Miller’s deportation regime.
He was sent to an ICE concentration camp in Dilley, Texas, which has notoriously poor living conditions for its prisoners. Liam was reportedly falling sick from the disgusting food and deeply depressed by being yanked away from his mom and schoolmates and thrown into a terrifying prison by masked goons.
Thankfully, Judge Fred Biery, appointed by Bill Clinton, has ordered his release, and did so with fireworks.
“The case has its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently-implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children,” wrote the furious judge in his order.
“Apparent also is the government's ignorance of an American historical document called the Declaration of Independence. Thirty-three-year-old Thomas Jefferson enumerated grievances against a would-be authoritarian king over our nascent nation. Among others were:”
1. "He has sent hither Swarms of Officers to harass our People." 2. "He has excited domestic Insurrection among us.” 3. "For quartering large Bodies of Armed Troops among us." 4. "He has kept among us, in Times of Peace, Standing Armies without the consent of our Legislatures."
"’We the people’ are hearing echos of that history.”
But he didn’t stop there.
“Civics lesson to the government!” thundered the judge.
“Administrative warrants issued by the executive branch to itself do not pass probable cause muster. That is called the fox guarding the henhouse.”
“The Constitution requires an independent judicial officer. Accordingly, the Court finds that the Constitution of these United States trumps this administration's detention of petitioner Adrian Conejo Arias and his minor son.”
Judge Biery makes it clear he understands the stakes of what’s happening, ending his order by writing, “with a judicial finger in the constitutional dike, it is so ORDERED.”

Paid a visit to the mothership, where this question was posed:
"WHAT IS A JOURNALIST?"
My response that will never be seen:
Yes, now we're clear.
"Good journalist" = anyone praising and shilling for Trump.
"Bad Journalist" = anyone reporting facts Trump doesn't want reported
"Good blogger" = anyone deleting a "bad journalist".
This is how we know for certain Democrats are communists, protestors are paid communists, “bad journalists” are the “enemy of the people”, Biden stole the 2020 election, and they're eating the dogs in Springfield.

But here we are.
What indeed, has happened.

Good to know - bet she gets a ton of advice from the sane!

I empathize with you. My brother and his wife live in Mississippi and are devoted Trumpers.
Off topic but did you see that Guitarist Al Di Meola and surprise guest Bruce Springsteen appeared at my old Minneapolis haunt, First Avenue today for a benefit concert and to show their support for the city. I hope this raises spirits there as everyone I talk to is so damn exhausted...
Excellent! Springsteen’s “ Streets of Minneapolis” is queued up for this evening’s music.

Al Di Meola... love that guy.

Me too, Dave! I’ve loved Al Di Meola since hearing and buying his Elegant Gypsy album in 1977!! Would love to see him in concert.
