I have an "uncomfortable" question: if the five Memphis cops had been white, would they have been

fired and charged so quickly?

I know the Memphis police chief is black and the just elected DA is white and I am not at all criticizing their swift action.

But, my question remains.

A partial answer to " Golly, gee! Why do you hate Mr. Trump?"

Republican politicians, these three word could start an avalanche of sanity in you party:

"TRUMP IS NUTS!"

IF---some of you still have spines, stand up straight, look the invertebrates in the eye and say those three words loudly and clearly.

Do not allow any to treat that statement as merely your opinion; it is a FACT that you can retrieve from under the rug and shake in their face.

"TRUMP IS NUTS!", TRUMP IS NUTS!" You may need to practice, but you can say it!

You're welcome.

Yes, I'm "woke" and it is sometimes almost too much of a burden to carry.

I am "woke"to----

---the fact that I live in nation where millions insist Trump is still POTUS;

---the fact that I live in a world in which extremist dictators and autocrats seem to be gaining power;

---the fact that global climate change is still not being seriously addressed;

---the fact that one of my country's two major political parties is ruled by a madman and willing to "burn it all down" if they don't win an election.

---the fact that some Americans want to scrap democracy, restore the policies of the 1950s and require everyone to carry a firearm;

---the fact that millions of my countrymen view both the covid pandemic and the Holocaust as "hoaxes"; and,

finally, the fact that I live in an area where about 75% of voters chose Donald J. Trump----TWICE!

I am woke to the "facts" that must be changed.

Personally, I would never voluntarily wade into a cesspool.

That's why I don't "do" Facebook.

"If you won't play by my rules and let me pitch, I'll take my new baseball and go home!"

Did your vacant lot baseball diamond have one of those? Mine sure did. Most days we wound up playing with an ancient coverless "baseball" wrapped in black electrician's tape. A hard hit made it "whizzz" through the air as the tape started to unwind.

That kid would fit right in with the House Republicans.

They intend to convert the routine no-big-deal-but-absolutely-necessary increase in our budget ceiling into an unprecedented situation in which any one of their screaming-meemies can say "If I don't get everything I demand, I will flush the US economy! Neener-Neener!"

The kid in our neighborhood who always had a new ball would caution these Republicans that not knowing when to "shut up and play ball" can get you a bloody nose.

For those who think Trump is finished:

even if Count Dracula seemed to be dead, the villagers knew you had to drive a stake through his heart to be sure he would not rise again.

Indictment is our stake; conviction is our hammer.

"The gall is coming from inside the House!" nt

It is nothing short of a miracle that this nation has somehow survived the Teletubbies, the risque

Disney classics, the oversexed M & M's and now---shudder---"woke" X-boxes.

Thankfully, we have the Republican Morality Police to warn us about all this "filth".

( "But, but --- drug-fueled Republican ORGIES!" )

With apologies to Procol Harum: "Their Party's Still For Sale"

We seated rightwing nutjobs;
Pushed Reason out the door.
The hypocrisy made me sick
As McCarthy played the whore.
The government grew stranger
As nonsense they'd propose;
If they're gonna act like clowns
They should hafta wear the nose!

And, so it was that quite soon
Those who did not go to jail
Made it clear to all who watched them
That their party's still for sale.
