c-rational's JournalHow did We Get Here - Thoughts
I have never in my life feel so unsettled about the world. The chaos being sown, the misery being spread - why. Some can explain the dUmpster's naturally vindictive and adoration of disruption/destruction in his rush for grift and power, and even project 2025. But there is something more...there was an earlier post about the link between Eloon and Puti. How Eloon came to the dumpster's assistance in the presidential race late. These two are buddies and sick individuals who no longer believe the rules are meant for them. I do believe Puti stole the election for the rump with elons help. I am thinking that puti was going to invade Ukraine back in 2020 and believed dumpy would still be in the White House. If that had happened, dumpy would say it is not up to us to help Ukraine and that would have been it, and out of Nato. But chump lost, yet he still tried to say in power with the Big Lie at whatever cost.
I believe puti said to himself - we are going ahead. The world said 3-days to get Ukraine to fall, and 3-years later the Russian economy is tanking, but not puti's desire for control. His plan requires he keeps dumpy going. This chaos is intended to wreak havoc on the western economies and that I believe is puti's goal, just the same for us as Brexit for the British. Oh, and getting chump to talk about annexing Canada or Greenland or the Panama Canal trying to normalize this bs and his grab of Ukraine.
Listening to Canadian Prime Ministers, Trudeau et. al., there is no legitimate basis for the tariffs. Our media doesn't say shit. This should be shouted from the rooftops. It would appear the only thing to remove this stain will be a collapse. They will be buried also.
So how did we get here. Too few people with too much power. A slow and insidious fall, and well planned by the reThuglicans and evangelicals. How do we get out. Not so sure the institutions will protect us without the support of We the People - It is up to Us. Oh, and no more moving to the center. The planet and us have no time.
Format in Skinner mode. The rec buttons on OP's gets overwritten by the post. Otherwise, looking
good as usual. Thanks EarlG
The Debate last night and one question which keeps coming back to me.
Last evening, the maga moderator Margaret asked Tim Walz why 51% of the American people believe Trump is better for the economy than Harris. Tim gave a good overall answer about how the economy always does better under Dems, but I was seething at this point. What a false question. A better answer imo may have been:
The reason the American people believe by 51% that the economy would do better under the dUmpster is that you Margaret, and your fellow journalists have failed to do your job. That skewed figure is the direct result of the failings of the 4th estate. You allow lies and falsehoods to be peddled as truth and simply say it is not your job to provide any analysis. That is false. You and Norah both sat there and allowed JD to gaslight the American people and say you are fact checking while you were not. No corrections on your part. That small example during the debate is but one small example of your reprehensible behavior which allows a threat to our way of life to be an actual consideration for the highest office in the land.
EarlG, tried to renew my star membership today and Friday past, and the guest pay on paypal did not
work - said contact merchant. Suggestion.
EarlG...saw the announcement earlier. On and off the tablet and all was well. Aa little after 9 pm
the format changed significantly...looked more like the new du4 mode vs. the skinner mode I normally use. I tried switching to defalut mode and back to skinner...no difference. Thanks for looking inot this. All your efforts are most appreciated.
EarlG - When I am called to jury duty, the banner runs acroos the Samsung tablet I use with chrome,
and its difficult to see the edges, i.e., it is too wide. Also, my profile viewed on this tablet also does a good job of not highlightinng my user name. I typically do not see it unless I post. Thanks.
EarlG - I normally view on a Samsung tablet with Chrome and last evening at 10:40 pm the top of the screen went
kaplooie - I see the logo, but the Navigate and My Stuff buttons do not show, normally on the right, now centered and below follows a vertical line of letters that ends with the word search, and from there I need to scroll down to see any posts. And the posts do not show properly. I closed by browser and turned off and on the tablet. Any suggestions. Also, I normally view in Skinner mode. Thanks.
With the avatar images now showing on the top left of all posts (I view on a
tablet via Chrome), the entire op is now narrower. Definitely not as readable as yesterday. Any chance of making a compromise, let the op go full screen width after the 1st paragraph?
Also, a question, I now note theeree iis no spell check on du4. Will it catch my error in this sentence? I think nnot. Any suggestions?
Work as one.
My wife had one of her 'reader's on the speaker...a YouTube video and they were discussing politics, and the woman said we need to work as one. How true, like in the movie the Gladiator when in the arena and Russell Crowe says we must fight as one. Yes we do. Simple to say, difficult to put in play.
A Relevant Quote
From the Art of Peace, by Morihei Ueshiba
"Economy is the basis of society. When the economy is stable, society develops. The ideal economy combines the spiritual and material, and the best commodities to trade in are sincerity and love."
I do beleive President Biden gets this. Enjoy your day!
