Everyone needs to come together to get things done that benefit everyone.

We can do things that benefit all of humanity.

And Biden needs to stop talking about taxing people and making them pay their fair share, when he has probably never worked a real job in his life and has never owned a business and has never created jobs and paid taxes. Roy Rogers paid 90%. That is why Roy was a Republican, and Reagan, they were tired of paying 90% in taxes. Biden has never had to pay 90% in taxes. That is why the Republicans hate guys like Biden, they feel like Biden is a free-loader, like a parasite. But if Biden helped the guys who are honest and who are working hard and who are paying taxes and who are creating jobs, then Biden might get some support from the Republicans. If Biden lowered taxes for the actors, and other workers, and for the people who are creating the jobs, and raised tariffs on imports, then we could all work together.

Biden can tax the Japanese and the Chinese by raising tariffs on imports, and he can lower taxes for the actors and business-people in America, and by doing so Biden could get the support of the Republicans.

And many Republicans support unions and fair pay for workers and good benefits, Reagan was head of SAG.

With some of the money from the tariffs on imports we can educate and train our people for the jobs of the future, and we can have more scientists and fewer convicts. And once you teach children the scientific method, then they can use it to solve other challenges that they face, they can become problem solvers. We can have a whole generation of problem solvers.

If we raise our children right then we can have a new generation of problem solvers and helpers. That would sure be better than drug addicts and convicts and gang members.

Salute,

Tony V.

I am grateful that my Mother raised me as a Christian.


As Josh mentions, mothers (and fathers) raise children - Christian or otherwise - but each is given by their respective God FREE WILL.  How the decision making process molds itself for each individual is sometimes mysterious - something we can study but never fully understand.

To each - judge CHARACTER as you come upon it - keep close to you those of like nature and avoid the other when possible.  And life moves on.

Peaceful Sunday, all.

 A mother rang my radio station.
She said she had three daughters, they lived in Sydney's north shore suburbs, you might say 'middle class plus'.
Daughters aged 16, 14, 12.
Elite private school.
The 16 year old was no trouble at all, 'perfect'.
The 12 year old was no trouble at all, 'perfect'.
But little miss 14 yr old, same parents, same everything, decided she was going to live her life HER way.
Short school uniform skirt, laddered school uniform stockings etc.
'Little miss trouble with a capital T'.

Some people in Mexico, Central America, and South America are evil.
Best they aren't allowed into America.
This is one reason why very thorough investigating needs to be done of anyone from there wishing to migrate to America.
Massive immigration just for the sake of it is a totally flawed policy.
The Mexican border with the US should be sealed to keep evil from waltzing in.

First we have to ban all Australians pretending to peddle news.

That will let 9 out of 10 problems we have here take care of themselves.

Some people in Mexico, Central America, South America are indeed evil...you know it is true.
Gee, all you have to do is get in the fake cabs and you could easily end up in the mountains being robbed, bashed, terrorised, or worse...and that's just by the amateurs.
The professionals will kidnap you off the streets and hold you in cages in the mountains for months, even years, cut your ear/s or fingers off ready for mailing...all shown in the movie "Proof of Life".
Then there are the evil people smugglers, organised crime and drug cartels.
How many girls and women murdered in Juarez this week?

"The group ranks Juarez as the third-deadliest city in the world with 103 murders per 100,000 population.Apr 21, 2021"

https://fox59.com/news/national-world/body-count-from-drug-cartel-wars-earns-mexican-cities-label-of-most-violent-in-the-world/

Indeed.
No doubt there are good people in Mexico, Central America, South America.
Just gotta make sure they are the ones being taken in by America as immigrants.
There's enough organised crime etc evil in America now without importing any more, surely.

Bannon "turns himself in"

Looks like a big party.

Heh.

In turning himself in, he proclaimed his opposition to the United States"

That is why we need to urgently end the republican party. It is the epicenter and nutritional load for both organized crime and evil in the United States.

So, you're like the antidote for such partisanship, right?

The defense in the Arbury case requested a mistrial on the basis of having Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton sitting in the gallery.

I think it's a bizarre reason for a mistrial request. I think that this judge might consider it, which is more bizarre, IMO.

I think the judge's demeanor may provide cause to overturn the decision and send it back to this level court, no matter which way the case comes out, but especially if found not guilty on all charges or even given a directed verdict by the judge, which I could imagine happening.

And I don't honestly believe that Rittenhouse would be well served by a mistrial at this point, anyway!

Jury instructions are supposed to be the antidote to any gallery distractions.  Hard to see how there would be any legal basis for a mistrial.  It also would turn any prominent spectator into a scapegoat, an awful consequence for our legal system.

Partisanship is not good. However, partisanship itself is a very minor issue compared to amoral corruption. Amoral corruption effects both sides, but it is so prevalent and concentrated on the the right wing republican evangelical white nationalist side that all attempts at whataboutism and false equivalence are both ridiculous and impossible.

Amoral corruption defines the right all the way through to its most mainstream and minor characters much more than the left because the left has not entirely given up on self policing to line up behind power only for the sake of grasping more power by blindly and blithely lying and bullying to get there.

The republican party has. The republican party has followed a growth strategy based on paranoia and abuse. Now they are ready to burn books in Virginia, locked and loaded, and rally around people who all the time are caught stealing their money to help these misleaders vomit their next round of crime.

There is no modern equivalent in the political sphere to this republican record. It is a sucking chest wound in our national past, present, and future.

This is a partisan statement from a moment when the differences between the sides could not be more clear.

As a side note, the current negotiations in Congress are showing that you can have the full range of ideological debate resulting in only the most pared down and conservative options advancing entirely within the Democratic Party getting and needing nothing at all from republicans who are too busy replotting their treason to offer anything to the American people at all.

America will always be a conservative nation so long as North Dakota gets the same number of Senators as California.  And the Electoral College keeps to a winner takes all system in 47 states.  Our only hope is to reach out to moderate Republicans and form coalitions with more socially sane conservatives.  Scorched earth approaches will fail.

Wrong on all counts.

But why let reality get in the way of a good fable, Tony and Kid.

Make up whatever stories you want to. The records of both past employment and taxes paid are in the public record. Unlike Trump, Biden released his annual taxes. How many years of them do you want to see?

This has 2016-2019:
https://joebiden.com/financial-disclosure/

But in announcing his run, he and his wife released 22 years of tax returns. We're still waiting for President Trump to keep his promise. (Okay, so we're not waiting.)

Quote
The filing shows he and his wife earned $607,336 (430,000 pounds) last year and paid $157,414 in federal income tax.

Their income fell from 2019 when they earned $985,223 mostly from speeches, book sales and positions at higher education institutions.

He's also created businesses and at least one of which is ongoing and has employees. This, too, is public record.

In other words, shut the fuck up if you are unwilling to do any research.

Absolutely.

Right after taking the full weight of the Patriot Act, RICO, seditious conspiracy, and fraud charges against anyone who has put seven figures or more into the big lie and is using false flagging or recruiting off January 6 and or reinstating trump, taking their freedom and all of their money, giving it a chance to reverberate through conservative circles, I am happy to work toward coalitions with the folks who are left. I suspect they will be much happier as well.

A day that truth has won, if not yet accessing the whole truth because yet another "law and order" conservative has failed to produce legally required documents - in this case conspiracy theorist Alex Jones.
