(Comment:) The new Trump admin. will probably overreach/deploy wacko extreme policies -- and 🀑people -- and mess up again, just like last time. >>>The first (of many) *"you were warned"* ...but it's actually also (ultimately) a ray of hope for the sane that remain: "Trump's MAGA allies gloat Project 2025 "is the agenda"' (Updated 2x)

 (Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)


Note: ..Other than Bannon I have no idea who the Trump riffraff are (that are) mentioned in this source article:

"Trump's MAGA allies gloat Project 2025 "is the agenda""

Reality:

10/29/24 article link: "New UMass Amherst Poll Finds ‘Project 2025’ Policy Proposals Wildly Unpopular Among Americans"


Excerpt:

"...strong majorities of Americans express opposition to key tenets of the conservative playbook. ...Six in 10 of the survey’s respondents oppose eliminating the Department of Education and firing civil servants and replacing them with political appointees loyal to the president, a majority opposes cutting funding for renewable energy research and investment, and a whopping 74% oppose restricting women’s access to contraception. The jury has decided on Project 2025 and Americans are clearly not in favor of the changes that the conservative agenda proposes."


Another: 

1/11/24: "Americans oppose most Trump policies"


Excerpt:

"...On 30 policy ideas presented to a national pool of respondents, 22 saw a majority oppose the idea. Only four had majority approval."

 

>>>Insert: Oh. ..That "mass deportation" plan from the new monarch/wannabe dictator?  "Trump's plan to deport millions of immigrants would cost hundreds of billions, CBS News analysis shows"

11/17/24 addendum. AMEN:

Article excerpt:

"...Mr. Trump’s voters are granted a level of care and coddling that defies credulity and that is afforded to no other voting bloc. Many of them believe the most ludicrous things: babies being aborted after birth and children going to school as one gender and returning home surgically altered as another gender even though these things simply do not happen. Time and again, we hear the wild lies these voters believe and we act as if they are sharing the same reality as ours, as if they are making informed decisions about legitimate issues. We act as if they get to dictate the terms of political engagement on a foundation of fevered mendacity.

We must refuse to participate in a mass delusion. We must refuse to accept that the ignorance on display is a congenital condition rather than a choice. All of us should refuse to pretend that any of this is normal and that these voters are just woefully misunderstood and that if only the Democrats addressed their economic anxiety, they might vote differently. While they are numerous, that does not make them right.

These are adults, so let us treat them like adults. Let us acknowledge that they want to believe nonsense and conjecture. They want to believe anything that affirms their worldview. They want to celebrate a leader who allows them to nurture their basest beliefs about others. The biggest challenge of our lifetime will be figuring out how to combat the American willingness to embrace flagrant misinformation and bigotry."

And: ↓Truth, vs. Republican GARBAGE:

(Article excerpt:)

"...In this multistage process of inflation’s arc, the American Rescue Plan played a minimal role. The stages would have occurred regardless of whether the plan was $2 trillion, $1 trillion or $500 billion. It simply takes a long time for economies to adjust to massive shocks like the pandemic.

This conclusion might strain credulity to those accustomed to hearing the typical mantra that fiscal excess triggered inflation. There are some common-sense pieces of evidence supporting our conclusion.

For starters, look across countries. If the American Rescue Plan caused inflation, we should see that countries that provided more of such covid relief experienced more inflation. Yet other countries, including Germany and Britain, did a lot less covid relief and experienced similar inflation to the United States...

A reposted 11/5/24 observation. The politics of hate and division won. U.S. democracy and the rule of law lost (again). (Updated)

 (Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)


"I keep thinking about the Supreme Court. Remember that these justices (including Trump’s three appointees) protected him from legal accountability for Jan. 6, blocking a trial that should have started and finished last spring. Should he win, Trump will fire Jack Smith and drop the Jan. 6 case as soon as he is inaugurated. In sum: Trump tried overturn a free and fair election by illegal and violent means, and because of John Roberts and his colleagues, not only will he never pay a price for it; he will be rewarded with another term."

Just a few rhetorical questions for all -- especially those who voted for Trump rule: 

..We've apparently elected a convicted criminal/adjudicated sexual abuser to the U.S. presidency: 

- Will basic, everyday laws 'on the books' still be enforced? Or, will those no longer 'really' matter anymore. (Or, will people need to be of only one political persuasion to get such help?)

..Hey: It generally doesn't seem to matter for at least one leading person in the U.S., who apparently has shown that he is likely above the law... E.g., in the future if I call the police about a crime (minor or major), will I get a response? An investigation? 

- Will courts continue to try cases and render judgments, or does that also not 'really' matter anymore? 

- Will convicted criminals continue to serve jail sentences, or doesn't that really matter anymore? (..At least in certain cases...)


P.S. One more: ...How does one explain all of this to one's children, if one is not trying to raise criminals/tyrants..?

(Comment:) It's the fall season, 2024. A lying, xenophobic presidential candidate who is a convicted felon, adjudicated sexual abuser and business fraudster, who has also repeatedly and publicly made racist comments, somehow has the current support of 46-47% of respondents in national polls. A) Think about it: What does that say about our country? B through Z) (Prove me WRONG -- *and hang-on to your health care and some fundamental rights*, BTW:) Please "say it ain't so" ...at the ballot box

(Reposted trailer:) A movie that every American voter should find a way to watch ...soon

 (Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)


Reposted trailer. Copy, no affiliation:



..FWIW, the film will be screened in Washington DC on 9/24/24: https://dcdoxfest.com/films/from-russia-with-lev/

..Otherwise (for the moment), perhaps it will be shown again soon on MSNBC, as it was last night (Friday)...

A tiny comment: Excellent content in the film, but this viewer got a little dizzy at times with the constant quick switching/flashing to new screens during much of the movie. ..Perhaps might have been slowed things down a little but (in fairness) there was a lot of good content to present (..e.g.: Lev's many photos..).

(Reposted excerpt:) "Picture this: It's the weekend and you're a 78-year-old man running for the highest elected office in the country. National polls suggest there's an almost razor-thin margin of popularity separating you and your opponent after a debate that didn't exactly go in your favor. How do you drum up more support? Do you hold another fundraiser? Release a detailed, more comprehensive plan for healthcare? Or do you pick a fight with arguably the world's most popular music idol and her legions of devoted fans? If you're Donald Trump, you write all in caps, "I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT" and let the social media comments fly where they may..."
