#we've elected traitors to our office

[thalambwithacult]

America is a disappointment of a country. Originally the birth of freedom from tyranny to now we call ourselves the land of the free yet we bind ourselves to horrid jobs and overpriced living. Now we elect a facist dictator to our office and soon shall plumment from democracy to a new nazi party. I wish mercy and luck apon every minority that came to america for a chance to escape their prosecutors in fleed countries and destruction of your homes. Led by lies to this criminal country. Where only the poor are bound to rules and laws. Where the rich and mingle with our chidlren and we cant do nothing about it. Arent you tired of kneeling to the wealthy? Dont you want to live life happy without the thought that as long as your miserable a millionaire is happy?

To all the people who believe trump will fix america im sorry for your stupidity. When his tariffs hit i will be blaming you.

To all those who wonder why democrats are cutting you off due to voting for trump its because you have told the world and every soul on this planet that you DO NOT care about minorities and women. Your white privilege is more important to you than diversity. You like putting your fingers in the business that doesnt include you. Pro life and pro choice shouldve never came into the question. A man has zero say over a womans body. Thats common fucking sense. Im a male and i firmly and will forever believe this. Religion and sex should stay far the hell out of education and work. Cause im telling you now to the religious folk if you put your damn god in my classroom i'll be using the papers from your bible as joint rolls and use the book for fire wood..

May America one day heal from this racist sexist cesspool we have dumped ourselves into.

May next election we have more qualified candidates and not a woman threatening single moms with jail time over truancy and a orange facist.

Pics: So many things that need our attention & help to fix.

1. Undecided voters think that not voting will actually do or help out their stance.

Sorry, it doesn't.

You sometimes have to choose the least damaging evil...

2. On to the recycling boondoggle:

Turns out there's no real recycling going on...

So, you can now find bits of micro- scopic plastic - in all our blood streams...

Plus, giant garbage islands are now found in most oceans...

And, plastic production continues un- abated...

3. An equal social justice system is still a major goal for all colored folks.

Like so many other things, it's been forgotten due to the election.

Plus, the Scotus is brazenly endanger- ing our democracy...

So, expect worse to come...

4. As for police reform, I've yet to hear anything.

Our streets are still having shootouts & mass shootings...

The NRA still bribes Republikkkan for gun laws in its favor...

5. Unfortunately, not all people are re- presented in Congress - especially the poor, new immigrants & the home- less...

We need more young people of color to seek high office & help balance out racial equality for all...

If we survive the clear & present Rump danger...

6. The right of peaceful protests does not seem to extend to students.

At least, not on private property.

And, on city property, 1 actually has to schedule a protest or parade with the city & the police - ahead of time!

I also believe that you might have to pay for your own security...

I'm not up to date on all of the official requirements.

7. I've already written about how the Democrats, in their chicken shit matter, are making a mistake on re- placing Prez Biden.

The man had a bad night - we've all been there!

Better still, our President already beat tRump last time!

It's you Democrats that are at fault for not attacking the Rump's many illegal attempts to steal another election so much sooner than this.

The Felon Don should never have been allowed back on the ballot!

Rump should have be rotting away in Gitmo, so long ago...

8 & 9. It's probably too late to keep atomic weapons from being develop- ed in the Arab world.

Let's hope that our military ability, to keep such destructive forces from being used indiscriminately, is still better than our enemies' attempts to use smaller, dirty bombs...

Don't let that Rapist Rump sell off all of our agents' identities in the Middle East.

The Traitor Don has done enough damage to our foreign agents...

Don't let him sell out our nation - Vote Blue, all the way!!

Vote Biden.

End.

When Biden talked of fighting but also healing, what he means is fighting to win the election, and then pardoning every criminal Republicon including trump.

There can theoretically be healing with or without pardons, but with old-school Joe, this was more of the same type of reassurance he was giving mega-rich prospective donors: don't worry, nothing will change if I get into power.

Of course Biden will make "compromises." He has his ambitions. Duh. He covets this position, which is why this is his third presidential run. A third strike, and he's out.

Of course he's signalling status quo and safe passage, but he's doing it on the debate stage.

This is something Democrats should be debating.

trump talks about Democrats as enemies and traitors for not clapping for him and for investigating his crimes and for constitutionally mandated oversight, so we know what's likely if he gets a second term and keeps his pet Senate.

Democrats especially, in contrast, buy into the misty-eyed vision of healing and uniting which affects much of the nation's politics. Democrats do want to heal and unite, but serious consideration should be given as to whether pardons are the way forward this time, or really were before.

There are all kinds of sappy visions about how political pardons "heal the country" and are somehow heroically magnanimous, even though they are ugly and dangerous, much like decades of shoving racism under a pretend rug, or like rewriting slavery as a good-natured profit-producing team sport, with winners and not-winners.

Here are a few particles of the mist:

See especially:

We shouldn't nominate Slow-Mo Joe anyway, because the country and the world can't afford the centrist vision of hobbling into the future while straddling every political fence. What good does it do to survive trump and rampaging Republicons, only to have Biden in charge of a fate not worse than death, but seriously unappealing. He contemplates the possibility of a Republicon running mate! That isn't healing. That's a lifeless marriage of convenience where Democrats, already honor-bound regardless, get both f*cked and cheated on after handing out indemnity.

In borrowed psychological terms, there's a case to be made that pardons aren't "healing." They are national repression. They have made us dysfunctional. They have led directly to Republicons, and the 1%, and the white supremacists, and the Christian dominionists, and all of their combined vicious, arrogant, determinations of grandeur, including criminal king trump and his dynasty in waiting.

With this concept of pardons creating unity, we have arrived at near civil war levels of tribal divisiveness. Fox Gnus, a plague on our democracy, was born in conservative rage that Nixon the Lesser criminal had been squeezed out of power, without being impeached, and regardless of blanket pardons.

We are at a point where the duty to uphold the Constitution, and the office of the presidency, but not any level of crook who took power, was regarded as "too divisive," and too risky, although Mueller specified crimes, until a simple no-brainer set of crimes came along ... All of which still has not budged the divisiveness we started out with, born from the various "unifying" political pardons.

Historically, mercy is regarded as wiser than vengeful slayings, or the type of brutally stringent reparations that helped bring about Nazis. But here we've been pardoning our way along, and we have privileged faux "victims" and freaking neo-Nazis in America, all feeling cosiest on the side with almost all the criminals and nearly all the political pardons.

We can find a balance between scooter-free pardons versus strictly making murderous regimes. That balance is justice, in a public forum.

There is a deep bench of eager, criminal Republicons, cult loyal, who have watched the criminals ahead of them get slapped with a few weeks or months of incarceration for crimes in the context of our government where we should have the strongest accountability. As a result, the Republicons set out to transform the federal judiciary into a wholly owned subsidiary, sure to be lenient towards them and to favor their agendas, while harshly judging everyone else.

We've been pardoning. Look where it's gotten us. The perfect time to stop is coming right up. Justice is supposed to be the American way. We got misled. The American way right now is letting horrible and complicit leadership in our government branches, whether Chiefs trump or Roberts' and their supreme conservatives, or Majority Leader McConnell, or Minority Leader McCarthy. They lead the NRA and law enforcement, our military and our churches and our news media and our industries, and whatever future we may have.

Those who are weak, or complicit, who won't investigate, and look at evidence, and hear testimony, and hold a trial, and mete justice, don't belong in power in our future if we want a future. That's something to keep in mind as we watch Senate Republicons this month, after watching House Republicons before, and watching trump all along.
