bambuworld today:
"Cross Party delegation to travel to US to seek release of Assange."

Should be interesting.

If it were still the Morrison government or if they had any prospects of returning, we would expect most members of the delegation to seek asylum in the United States.

As it is I expect they will talk some and eat much better than they are able to do at home.

Progress.

Keep marching.

I have been looking at photos from the Great Depression, it is amazing how far we have come since then. Even with the Corona Virus and shutting our whole nation down we have not suffered as much as our ancestors did during the Great Depression.

When I went through Kansas it was all hay fields, way different than the photos of the dust bowl during the Great Depression.

And now we have the Jimmy Buffett lifesyle, people lounging on the beaches of Key West, drinking margaritas and eating cheeseburgers. People today are living a whole different life than our ancestors lived during the Great Depression.

Then they had to fight World War II after the Great Depression, they had hard lives.

As hard as I have had it, it is nothing compared to what our ancestors survived. They were strong people. And they created the Labor Unions and Labor Laws which improved the lives of the workers and which helped to create our huge middle class.

We have come a long, long way since the Great Depression, and we have learned a lot since then.

Salute,

Tony V.

Our Troops and our Veterans are mixed in with the people at the R.V. parks, and in the low rent housing, and some Veterans are homeless. I have a friend who succeeded as an Aircraft Mechanic on an Aircraft Carrier for the Navy and he was well paid, and when he retired he bought a beautiful custom made home in Texas, so he had a good life. But, a lot of Troops and Veterans have it harder than he did.

Of note, the Veterans are good at managing Homeless Shelters. As the homeless veterans are helped then many will rise to become shelter managers. I had a friend who was a Combat Medic and he was an awesome Shelter Manager.

As we help our homeless then many opportunities will be created for Shelter Managers, and Social Workers, and for Crisis Intervention Specialists, etc, and for Van Drivers, etc, and people can work at the Mental Health Associations, and at the Wellness Centers, etc.

Salute,

Tony V.

Woke and anarchy obviously rule the landscape in Britain today, and as such society there is in decline.
Asylum seekers shown on my tv burning their documents on a beach in France before departure for England via boat.

The asylum seekers are safe in France, so why are they going by boat to England?
The very generous welfare system perhaps?
Former Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono once told Australia..."take the honey off the table".

Seems the People in Britain have had enough of the Just Stop Oil protesters blocking roads and motorists are becoming vigilantes, driving their cars slowly thru the protesters, as passengers in the cars get out and shove the protesters out of the way.
Whose fault is it that is happening?
Answer, the govt/cops.

Oil makes the world go around today, someone should explain it to oil protesters.
Largest producer of oil in the world today is...USA...19 million barrels a day.
Why?
Answer, to run the nation, secure energy for industry, transport etc...secure the economy.

2nd largest oil producer...Saudi Arabia.
3rd largest...Russia.

Tony, we can house all the homeless in golf clubs and yachts. We can house more people in the property of right wing mega churches that get shut down for fraud. We can also house people in the property of right wing institutions that supported the insurrectionists and are fomenting another civil war.

Lots of space for everyone if we just get our priorities straight.

My thought is that the British cops should get after the "Just Stop Oil" protesters who are basically ruining British society with their blockades...and instead of just standing around asking the protesters to cease...they hire some big, tall, muscular men in tipper trucks to attend the blockade protests... grab the protesters standing in the middle of the roads with banners,...bind their ankles, and arms to bodies, then 'toss' them into the trucks, drive them to the re-education centre and upend the load into a foam filled pit....re-education officials then taking charge of them.

Wow, you can out-fascist the fascists.  China should call you in for consultation on Uighur management. 

Step 1: eliminate due process of law
Step 2: concentration camps!

Step 1: eliminate due process of law

The democrat desire in its folly arguing section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars Trump from running for President.

You mean long-time Democratic Party stalwarts like William Baude?

The democrat desire in its folly arguing section 3 of the 14th Amendment bars Trump from running for President.

So... you do not know what due process of law means either. Since effort made so far - and for the record I disagree with them - has invoked the legal process required for disqualification.

section three as advocated by democrats versus Trump makes a mockery of due process.

The mechanism for law abiding Americans to disqualify trump resides in each state individually as we have a federalized election system. It will happen on a state by state basis and be contested by those for and against disqualification within the differing legal systems of each state.

Trump will probably remain on the ballot in some places and be eligible for those electoral votes. He probably will not make it on in some swing states. If that is decided prior to primaries it may have an interesting effect on the republican primary. Though with the stupid fucking cultists that make up the GOP that might still not be enough to break the spell.

It must be though to be a republican and live with no country, no morals and no future.
