I am done and need a break.

All morning I did the three Sunday shows I watch.  This Week, Meet the Press, and Face the Nation.  Ranted while I wrote stuff to refute and talk about pushed by the republicans on the panels and interviewed as they crowed about how this was a clear mandate for them to take the country so far right the Puritans would be scared to come here.  I stopped writing figuring I had recorded all of these shows.   Then I spent an hour while listening to them trying to figure out how to record them from one computer to the other as I really need to change my desk configuration and have already ordered the ram to do drastically help one of my computers.   Sadly my main computer is maxed out.  I should have known better but it was on sale with great specs … so I bought it.  Always.  Yes always by a computer that is upwards expandable.  I won’t make that mistake again.  However even if I lose these recordings of the corporate media and on This Week Johnathan Carl was creaming his pants on the tRump win, so much for media impartiality, I need a break as Ron was telling me.  So I am going to play Portal Two.   It is a wonderful puzzle game using a portal gun to shoot an incoming portal and an outgoing portal.  No shooting other players.  This is a grand game for people not wanting to hurt others even in a game and for stretching the mind.  If you don’t have a gaming console the game is also on PC, which is where I first played it.  Hugs I am off to challenge my brain on more than politics.  Hugs.    

This Was A MASSIVE Part Of Trump’s Victory

Please watch this.  This is Vaush.  He points out that of the top left wing streamers.  Streamers make an hour to 3 hour content on schedule.  A lot of them clip their streams to smaller 10 minute clips or so that they can post.  Of the top ten who many are right wing media?  9.  Yes 9 out of 10 most popular streamers on social media which includes YouTube, Twitch, other smaller streaming services.  The amount of money pumped into the right wing media is incredible as I have been saying.  Look at the graph of incomes.  The one that was leftist was Hessian and he doesn’t lean towards either democrats or republicans.  He once worked for TYT and left to make millions streaming.  This is about 20 minutes long but it describes the cumulative power of everyone left of center right now is drowned out (tRumped) by 5 to 10 Nazis from the right.   If we want to win we must reach people where they are, and to do that we must be on the media they us.  Much more covered in the video. Hugs

History Will Not Forget

Let’s talk about Trump’s Social Security plans….

We can only hope the divisions and internal infighting will delay the worst of the things the most maga want to do including tRump.  Remember the republicans in congress and in the states still have to be voted in.  Call your local offices even if they are republicans, tell them you are a voter, be polite and to the point.  You disagree and why.   They are worried about their job and even in deep red districts republicans won’t be happy if their incomes and funds are cut or shit interferes with their families.  Sadly a lot of people who voted for tRump thinking he did not mean them or their families will find out he did, just as the people deported last time whose family members voted for tRump.   Hugs.

Let’s talk about Trump vs Democratic Governors….

Important info for fighting back.  As I said the other day, tie everything up in the courts until we can win the Senate back.   And we will.  As crazy as tRump is / will try to be, we will win in 2026.  Hugs

Let’s talk about finding out fast, tariffs, and Trump….

Surviving Trump: A guide for Trans and LGBTQ youth. #lgbtqia

As I mentioned I spend all day listening to podcasts on one device or the other. Here is some of what I hear

This short clip is great.  The point she makes is the same one I made about the Democratic Party sliding right to get dissatisfied republican voters.  Her point, we should have paid more attention to the people who left the Democratic Party than those who were never tRumpers or left the republican party due to tRump.  Again it is the party of the working person not the party of republican lite.  Hugs

While I find it easier to follow Sam’s reasoning on some issues, while he is out on funeral leave after his mother died, I am glad it is Emma explaining this.  Listen to what tRump was saying about women.  He wanted to see Harris in a ring getting beaten by Mike Tyson. He said he would protect women if they liked it or not.  So she says two themes, I say three.  She says fear stoking by bashing immigrants and misogyny.  I say it was them plus racism.  The first thing he said about her was she changed to being black for advantage, then started calling a black woman retarded. But if you remember the things he said about women in the 2016 election about Clinton and the grab them by the pussy tape.  Sad that so many of our fellow people have these feelings in 2024.   Hugs.

in this video both Matts are upset with the culture of democrats in office refusing to do what is needed instead patting each other on the back as infallible.  Trump attacked both democrats and republicans who did not follow the ideas he pushed.  Ideas that he felt people wanted, and it became true the more he said it.  Even when they failed to actually help the lower incomes and did increase greatly the incomes of the upper incomes / very wealthy.  They mention that again in 2023 the mean average income was lower than in 2019.  Lower incomes are still losing and have been since the 1980s.  While harder to listen too it is all about the conditions on the ground vs words used by democrat candidates.  Brandon talks about the influencers on podcasts / social media.  Matt Bender continues that conservation.  Hugs

This video is about Joe Biden and him staying in until the last minute.  How there was no primary and no time for Harris to introduce herself to the public.   How Biden did not promote her publicly until he dropped out.  How Biden kept her sidelines because her age made him look older by comparison.  How the democrats need to do more to run to their extremer base like the republicans do.   Hugs

In video Emma points out that the covid recovery plan of massive help for the lower incomes made the Biden administration very popular, but when that changed in 2022 for a more austerity program pushed by bipartisan republicans and Manchin / Sinema … or should I say by the republicans and Biden’s need for the feeling of bipartisanship.  Once people realized again they wouldn’t be getting the help promised them by the democrats they again felt the democrats left them behind.  The lower incomes feel betrayed by the democratic party and they feel used.   Paid attention to only every four years and promised table scraps so the democratic candidate can keep the corporate dollars flowing.   Hugs

My thoughts after the election 11 7 2024

I talk about why I think Harris lost the election. What people heard and understood. Mistakes made from hiring people who keep running old playbooks to who was listened to on the ground. This is one of many videos I hope to make on this subject.

Peace & Justice History for 11/9

November 9-10, 1938
Nazis looted and burned synagogues and Jewish-owned stores and homes, and beat and murdered Jewish men, women, and children across Germany and Austria.

Known as Kristallnacht, it was a night of organized violence against Jews marking the beginning of the Holocaust with the killing of 91 and the deportation of 30,000 to concentration camps. The German word translates to “the Night of Broken Glass,” so called because of the vast number of broken windows in Jewish shops, 5 million marks worth ($1,250,000).

November 9, 1965
At the first draft-card burning [see November 6, 1965], a heckler shouted that they should burn themselves, not their draft cards. Three days later Roger LaPorte, a student of religion and a Catholic Worker volunteer, poured gasoline on himself and struck a match to it in front of the United Nations headquarters in New York. Police managed to douse the flames.

Roger LaPorte
On his way to the hospital he said, “I’m a Catholic Worker. I’m against war, all wars. I did this as a religious action.” He died 33 hours later. Dorothy Day, founder of the Catholic Worker movement and a speaker on the 15th, wrote that she believed that LaPorte knew it was wrong to take his own life. But she explained his desire to end the Vietnam War; in the previous few days, six massive air strikes had made it the deadliest week since the war began.

November 9, 1984
U.S. peace activists sailed a shrimp boat into the Port of Corinto to confront U.S. warships threatening Nicaragua. The U.S. had mined the harbor in violation of international law, and had invaded Nicaragua through this port in 1896 and 1910.
November 9, 1989
For the first time since World War II, free travel between East and West Germany was allowed. The Berlin Wall, built to stop the exodus from the Communist-controlled East in 1961, was opened in response to nonviolent popular action.

Somewhere between 450,000 and a million Europeans in Florence, Italy, peacefully protested the threatened U.S. invasion of Iraq.
Florence, Italy 11.9.2002
The inaugural meeting of the European Social Forum had just concluded there.It was a regional part of the framework established at the World Social Forum which had met in Porto Alegre, Brazil, first in 2001.

Read more about this protest 
The Forum is a citizens’ movement exploring alternatives to globalization and the inhumane consequences of the changing world order. They focus on sustainable development, social and economic justice. Those who were part of the Forum come from a broad range of civil society, including: pacifists; environmentalists; those in nonprofit, volunteer and non-governmental organizations; representatives of religious and lay groups; those in the anti-globalization and anti-capitalist movements; and, for the first time in Florence (Firenze), significant involvement of the labor movement, notably the European Trade Union Confederation (ETUC), and trade unions or national confederations from nine European countries, including Russia.
