Exactly

They are venal, power hungry sociopaths with a highly inflated opinion of self and determination go to whatever lengths necessary to get what they feel they are owed.  The only differences from the Democrats is that they talk up traditional values to maintain their access to big money and don’t try as hard to pretend they give a shit about other people.

I’ve seen a bit of justification along those lines, the “but Trump is so uniquely bad we must do whatever it takes” kind of reasoning.  This will end up in fiasco for the country when the same tactics are used to destroy any president with slightly progressive policies using the games they are now learning to perfect.

Aside from believing Labour’s policies are of more benefit to the average person than the Tory’s, I believe they must win for Bernie to a good chance at winning the primary.  If Labour loses, the Dem party will use that fact to bludgeon into submission any voters wanting Bernie for his policies who are more fearful of another term of Trump than…[Read more]

Sounds like a movie that I watched maybe 10-15 years ago, where rich people would pick up homeless people and then hunt them in the woods.  Ice T was one of the people they tried this on, if I recall correctly …

On Edit: The movie “Surviving the Game” was made in 1994, the actor was Ice-T not Ice Cube as I’d originally thought.  While s…[Read more]

Union workers are suddenly in vogue as potential “victims” of Medicare For All.  Where this is coming from, given that private sector union membership is way down and health insurance benefits provided to private sector union workers have been decreasing for over 20 years now, is beyond me.

My ex was a member of the UAW for one of the Big 3…[Read more]

That one made me giggle, out loud!

A couple of interesting memes found on my social media feed, posted by conservatives:

1. The “left” hates Donald Trump because he is a conservative, devout Christian trying to bring morals back to this country.
   1. My thoughts:
      1. Trump is in no way, shape or form a “conservative” in the traditional sense of the value.  He is a robber baron…

I believe it is Robert Maxwell’s daughter, Ghislaine, who was Epstein’s lover and a procurer even after the relationship ended.  The same Ghislaine who attended Chelsea Clinton’s wedding :)

I’m sure there are politicians of both main parties involved, along with their PAC funding donors.

Oh, FFS

I’ve also wondered about the boys, and worry that there are male victims who are being given no voice.  From the experience a young relative and his family had with the legal system, there seems to be an alarming lack of attention given to boys who are victimized.  Shockingly, even the punishment given for molestation of a boy tends to be less t…[Read more]

The corrupt system not only enriches but also protects them, because they have ensured it is built to do so.

For Epstein’s first sweetheart deal, he was housed in a private wing of the Palm Beach county facility.  He was allowed to go to work for 12 hours a day, 6 days a week and receive visitors with no monitoring by the sheriffs he was paying…[Read more]

It is indeed a crime, regardless of whether payment was made.  The age of majority varies by state and the relationship of adult to minor, but as far as I know all states now consider it a crime for an adult to have sexual relations with anyone under the age of 16.

Epstein is protecting the rich and powerful by offering to provide information on…[Read more]

In the article, it states that Joe’s income was from his book and the related tour.

Joe wrote a book?

My son likes to post controversial statements on social media to stir up debate.  He recently posted “Jesus was a communist.”  Strange that the avowed Christians who replied could not come up with a good rebuttal.

There are references in some articles to a modeling firm used to ship in young women from overseas as well.  The Miami Herald, who published the articles about the crimes shoved under the non-prosecution agreement and blanket immunity from prosecution for unnamed co-conspirators in Florida, doesn’t seem to have much information on that…[Read more]

I think Biden wanted to run in 2016, but was told to step aside as HRC was the designated candidate (part of the agreement reached when she stepped aside for Obama in 2008).  Now, it’s almost as if the same people who promised Clinton she would be the winner have also told the same to Biden for 2020.  In Joe’s mind, he’s entitled to that p…[Read more]

Kamala Harris is a former prosecutor, DA and state AG for California.  To progress from prosecutor to AG she had to develop some serious chops in manipulation of an audience, along with making friends with politicians and big money donors along the way.  What was on display last night was a professional who was performing on script complete with w…[Read more]
