I have a multi-decade plan, too. It includes prison, substantial taxation, and a message of self-deportation to those who don't want to live in a multicultural democracy with a constitution and rule of law. Get the fuck out. Leave us in peace.
All PEDOPHILES Should be Prosecuted no matter who they are or how rich they are. Lock them up. They done the crime so they have got to do the time. They are not Christians.
Release all the EPSTEIN FILES with only the girls/ women names redacted nothing and no one else.
If we had equal justice of the law all of them would be prosecuted by now. America is not a republic nor is it a democracy. We are supposed to be a country with liberty and justice for all and we’re supposed to be government for and by the people. We don’t have people justice in this horrible thing called America and we are not government for and by the people. The clowns that we call our government serve the corporations only.
Same church, same pew. I am a physician - i think it likely that the tendency to pedophilia is genetic. It expands the population OF fertile females for reproduction, the purpose of our basic biology. Unfortunatey, it comes at a tragic childhood cost. Happy NY!
Hope the flu skipped you David but this was a short post! Try to stay well, you and family. We all know chump is guilty/a disaster, stay well we can pick up later...
"creating a misleading narrative where Trump is only responsible for success."
I remember shortly after starting in office in 2017, there was a report of some large number of years without a plane crash, and Trump immediately took credit for it.
I remember Trump, in an interview during the height of the Covid pandemic, Trump denying ANY Responsibility for anything.
That is his way. Claim credit for everything, even if he has to lie to have something to take credit for. In fact if it is already good, he will lie to make the numbers better. But he will NEVER take the blame, accept responsibility, admit to ANY mistake or admit that anything is less than the perfection he wants it to be, unless he is fear mongering then just reverse everything...
No need to be shocked, he has done it so very many times, publicly. One time in an interview, early in his first term as I recall, he admitted that when he calls something "Fake News" it actually means it is just news he does not like. And yet all day long the MSM just reports his claims like it is news. What would be NEWS is if Trump actually told the truth, or admitted to a mistake or took responsibility for something not working.
During Covid his strategy was to reduce testing, so things wouldn't look so bad, and to shove all the responsibility to the states, then pressure the states to do nothing so everyone could pretend the pandemic away. All while he made the weekly reports on Covid all about him 'being in charge' (but never responsible).
This is a tired old exercise where we keep trying to capture in real time the picture of 'how bad Trump is'. What we NEED is a picture of ALL the bad things he has done so people can see clearly 'how bad Trump is'. It is very hard for a person who only peeks at the news occasionally to realize how bad Trump is, especially when Trump LIES all the time and is supported in his lies by an entire Conservative media system and most all of those who still call themselves Republicans. It must be easy to believe it is just the usual noise of politics and accusations by both sides. Few will take the time to review the evidence in legaleze documents of way too many pages. And even then, it is one crime, with no context. And of course the accusations from Trump sound semi real, until you take time to dig for any actual evidence to back the claims.
There is more than one way to show a story, to paint a picture, to explain a concept and help people to see the truth. It is OK for us to explore the talents and skills of Democrats and provide context, perspective, the evidence without burying them in it (but laying it there so people can see it is real). and to give the feeling of the depth and breadth of all of the different ways Trump has done wrong. Point to the crimes, including those that are plainly crimes but that he has not yet been convicted for. Point to ALL the reasons he does not belong in office, per the constitution. FLOOD THE ZONE!!!
There is more to the problem of mass forgetfulness of trump's (and his supporters) lies and crimes. Fox and other trump mouthpieces have successfully convinced the followers that all information counter to the dear leader's message is FAKE NEWS. That's what cult leaders do. But there are plenty of independent thinkers who voted for trump. They are the ones who need that constant reminding of facts in order to swing the political pendulum back to a normal government that functions for the people.
I am not saying to stop reporting the real news. Just saying that we need multiple channels to reach the different people in the different ways that might resonate with them. Think about the people who rarely tune into the news. They care, but they just can not devote much time to it. How will they make sense of it all? Lies sound just as good, and sometimes better than the truth, until you have time to look closer, to examine the details, to notice the patterns as they repeat. A news report is not likely to clarify it for them, especially if they are hearing the 'other side'. To uncover the truth takes a dedication to the quest, spanning weeks, maybe months. I have been doing this more than a decade and still I find a new aspect. Still it takes serious time to see the whole picture and see the entire pattern clearly. If you think you see everything going on, you probably aren't seeing enough, or not getting all the perspectives. It is not easy.
How can you force a person to keep accepting reminders? We use various ways to communicate ideas and perspectives. Music, Movies, videos, websites, social media, demonstrations, Advertisements... Now, picture the method most likely to help a person who is for a few minutes, willing to 'see the other side', our side. What would you do that would get through and be persuasive to break through all the lies they had been told. Remember they have already been told about 'fake news' and 'Lawfare'. They have been told your views are evil and not to be trusted.
How do you help them understand you are not talking about one event, or even a few, but an incredible array of terrible things? Something they can explore. Something that allows them time to think and test, poke around and see the vast array, the huge number of awful things. Where when they want to see the consequences, it is listed right there. When they ask questions, the answers are there. But if you answer questions before they ask, it is not nearly as effective. If you rush the information at them, shoving it at them faster than they can absorb, they can not hear it, they shove back, they go away. Do not load it with hate, or fear, or a sales pitch. make it a simple honest effort to portray the truth, with the broad perspective.
We have the truth on our side, but we want to make it easy for them to realize what we have is the truth and what Trump and his minions have are lies. Though not all are in the cult, even others surrounded by the Right wing messaging may find it hard to tell truth from lies. These people are potential allies, if we can only help reach them, and forgive them.
Republicans has at least 5 channels of Air TV in my state, Democrats zero! Why? Why isn't Democrats buying up air TV and radio ,pointing out the insanity and their real accomplishments 24/7?
Perhaps because rich Democrats are first off 'fewer' and secondly, not on a mission of national domination like Republicans are. Democrats assumed all the main stream media would be sufficient to spread the news and never even noticed the 'small markets'. It used to be assumed a rich person could not be corrupted, so owning a news outlet was 'ok'. But now we see how too often they are the most corruptible.
What should be: All major sources of news should have an obligation to provide facts and not lies. Freedom of speech already has the limit on defamation, libel, slander... It needs to be expanded and easier to enforce. Known lies need to be 'bleeped' just like swear words, even if they are streaming or cable, satelite... If the company claims the right to lie because it is 'entertainment' (Fox did that for Tucker and Hannity) they need a large continuous banner on their shows that says that clearly. For radio it should be regular with every advertising break or declaration of which channel they are on.
Major media companies that have 'news' should NOT be owned by a single person, should be broken off from any conglomerates and have a board whose responsibility is to ensure they deliver news, not lies.
'Equal time' does NOT include equal time for lies.
Shows like late night comedy, should be held to the same standards, but perhaps not 'bleeped', just a clear 'graphic' or clear statement by the comedian to 'explain the joke'. Fair is fair.
People tend to assume news is based on facts and includes facts that might not be friendly to one party of the other. This assumption should be enforced.
It’s important that David pointed out to that even as Trump gone, Trumpism is not going away when Trump is gone. I remind people that Adolf Hitler didn’t single-handedly kill 6 million Jews and 5, million gypsies. The people in Trump‘s orbit are every bit as evil as the Nazis,maybe worse.
I’m not that concerned about the upcoming measles epidemic. A measles vaccine works in the responsible people will get their kids vaccinated. MAGATS are such selfish whiners and slaves to their politics but they’re willing to put their kids at a risk. Their kids will probably turn out just like them so if they die prematurely, it’s probably a good thing.
I’m sorry you show no concern for those too young or unable for any other reason to be protected from disease thru immunization. There isn’t an excuse beyond stupidity for anyone to ignore decades of research and science- you know, “stupid is…” And the poor children impacted- perhaps forever by that neglect, have no agency….
All those redaction and black ink, I think that tells everyone that Trumps name and many other pedophiles names have been redacted, this shows that many people need to be held accountable for these crimes.

Do we really need indefeasible legal proof that Trump committed execrable child sexual abuse? After all, he is already incontestably a legally adjudicated rapist. His fitness to continue serving as president is now essentially a moral, not legal, question and issue.
How are parents so naively ignoring decades of data and science and following doofus quasi “experts???” regarding measles!! That’s NEGLECT in my book!! Yes their kids balk at going to a clinic and getting vaccinated; yes it’s easier to convince yourself that it’s ok to take the easier path but HOW ??? When a child contracts the “wild” measles virus there is no control over the amount- get a tiny amount to activate their immune response so they are able to “recognize” it if exposed so they’re able to mount a defense without illness or long term damage-
TWO shots for preventing measles!! Come on parents!! PARENT!!! 🤬🤬😤😤

One way to fill up the vacancies in Trump Tower.
DT is a n American version of the German Adolf
That 4.3 gdp is and has not been a proven fact. I call bullshit!!!
Me too!!!
The market is flying blind now. What could happen?

Ray MERRY CHRISTMAS. Unfortunately Christians can be pedophiles. Do not believe me? Call the Vatican.
Oh I do believe you, and hope one day that all the pedophiles are eventually get charged and convicted no matter who they are or how rich they are.
Same church, same pew. I am a physician - i think it likely that the tendency to pedophilia is genetic. It expands the population OF fertile females for reproduction, the purpose of our basic biology. Unfortunatey, it comes at a tragic childhood cost. Happy NY!

WHAT. MORE. DO. WE. NEED?
I'm not surprised with the DT fiasco file.
Release all the EPSTEIN FILES.
All those redaction and black ink, I think that tells everyone that Trumps name and many other pedophiles names have been redacted, this shows that many people need to be held accountable for these crimes.
Impeachment NOW.
