Thanks to you and your colleagues at Public Citizen. The problem is that Agent Orange and his fascist coterie are flooding the zone, literally, while the court system moves at near glacial pace once things move beyond Federal District Courts.

You could add all the known and probably unknown pardons Trump has given to wealthy donors or grifters. Amounting to likely one billion dollars in money not collected because of the pardons. The corruption has infected everything.

Thank you, Lisa. I signed up for updates from Public Citizen.

Enough. How can I connect with more mind-like organizations? Calling and emailing my representatives is not enough anymore, and arguably never was, and will never be. Thank you.

JD Vance and Pope Bob

“We tolerate no one in our ranks who attacks the ideas of Christianity. Our movement is Christian.” Adolph Hitler 1928

True to the propaganda the far right throws out there, Vance was in Rome to show his support for Christian ideology But Vance was there to advance politically his own type of Christian philosophy, that of the fascist Christian Nationalist(CN) movement supported by the Hungarian dictator Orban and promoted by the far right organization CPAC

But Pope Bob was completely aware of the PR stunt Vance was pulling, knowing full well of the CN policy of white supremacy and crimes against humanity The Pope had little time for the couch lover and Pope killer essentially giving him a fleeting glance while chatting it up with others in attendance of his inauguration Mass

Vance is a thirsty power mongering politician backed by billionaires who wants to carry the banner of the CN movement and “use the Pope” as a propaganda tool Pope Bob wasn’t having it

They call it Christian Nationalist because Nationalist Christian or Nat-C is too obvious.

This President is removing the veneer from most, if not all, of our politicians as they all earn major financial benefits from politics. The only exception may be President Jimmy Carter; people did cry at his passing, but the other one is from Uruguay, the ex-president who died last week, and people mourned in the streets for Jose “Pepe” Mujica

In the meantime, the moronic simpletons in trailer parks or languidly camping in the red states scream: “trump is owning the libs”. Never mind, they are the first to the curb…

Thank you, Public Citizen. I will continue to support you, as you have supported us. It’s refreshing to hear someone say that Trump tried to steal the 2020 election through fraud. The mainstream media failed us on this score, as it has on so much else. Even years afterward it continued to entertain on a regular basis the notion that Trump genuinely believed the election was stolen from him. Endless words were wasted on the issue. His allegations should have immediately been turned on him by the press. He was just lying, simple as that. Using the well-known propaganda tactic of accusing others of what you yourself are doing. There was plenty of evidence of his attempted theft, e.g., pressing Georgia to find more than 11,000 votes. Trump has certainly played the media. Not only has it given him endless platforms for his lies, it has allowed him to frame the issues.
