We ignore the advice at our own peril. Seems rather silly not to evaluate

the validity of the message because of the messenger. Thought we pitched a big tent where all who share a common goal are welcomed. There is nothing more important than getting rid of the traitor tRump.

I often wonder if Acosta was given that job as part of a payback for

agreeing to the initial Epstein settlement. His current 80% budget cut proposal fits perfectly with some of the speculations about the fate of incarcerated immigrant girls. No words to describe the level of criminality our present government is capable of. The disgust however is palpable.

The small city along the Oregon Coast where l live has an entire

department devoted to disaster preparedness, and continues to spend considerably funds to educate people on what to do. A monster tsunami is the real danger. Most of it is basic common sense, but a certain amount of specialized equipment and supplies are required if one takes the threat seriously. Still worth living here among such natural beauty more than worth it.

It seems, purely from this layman's POV, that tRump likely has three

reasons for this. He is doing what Putin wants as part of a grand geopolitical strategy, he is in a delusional search for a Nobel prize, he wants to develop the equivalent of a Moscow tower there. Basically it is Putin who is making the call, while using tTump’s own narcissism against him.

The idea sold by Putin and bought by tRump with traitorous support by

Republicans is that what works in Russia can work just as well in America. Of this there can be little doubt. Think for one minute of all the horrible implications.

Sad to read this. As my home was minute away, l would have breakfast

there on Saturday mornings and watch the early workouts. Got to know a few trainers, jockeys and stable hands. They all were careful to tell me where l was allowed to to go, and where not to. I was impressed with their security, but realized almost all doping problems originated from those with the necessary clearance. They will solve their many problems and be a an even better track to visit.

No, l do not think we are any closer to a dictatorship. It may appear

so only because the possibility has been more widely perceived. Admittedly our institutions have been weakened and corruption is rampant, but the basic value of what America is really all about, despite the barrage of lies and betrayal of the Republicans, remains essentially intact. That does not mean there are not more dangerous times ahead. tRump will increasingly be behaving like a cornered criminal, and he is capable of doing anything to try to ensure his wealth and survival. There are still vital groups of good people in government.

tRump's record very clearly indicates he will at the very least claim

some kind of fabricated fraud and try a power grab by manipulating his cult base to violence if he deems it necessary. This monster is now in the self preservation fight of his life, and to him the constitution is meaningless. What is debatable is how much support, and from where, he will receive. As has been well documented here, there are dangerous times ahead. Personally l have to believe he will ultimately fail and justice will prevail.

If you are among those who have carefully listened, read and evaluated

the evidence you cannot help but be for impeachment. The problem appears to be that there are way too many who are either too busy or too lazy to look beyond the sound bites based on lies. Personally l think that should not be a deterrent to doing the right thing. Namely impeaching the traitorous venal imposter.

The questions surrounding the possibility of intelligent alien

life, and whether or not we have been visited in the past and present continues to be fascinating. It seems the pinnacle of human hubris to assume we have some sort of monopoly on technology and universal exploration. The shock to our social, political and religious systems will be worldwide if and when we finally get answers that confirm our own ancient tribal oral histories. Hope l am still around then.
