Politics Are The WWE and YOU Are The Mark

As Tennessee State Senators are dismissed for poor decorum in the chamber, they are just as quickly reinstated. Which is not a problem.

Political Ideologues LOVE What They Claim To Hate

Trump Pleads "Not Guilty". What's good, what's bad, and what's ugly? I'm sure too many won't agree. Grifting is a big thing for right wing pundits...but it's pretty bad on the left as well. Give 'em credit. Idaho Republicans try to ban Tampons in schools? If it wasn't an "anti-woke" thing...there is a way to make it make sense. And anti-gun folks "raid" the state Capitol in Tennessee. Because that is what we do instead of democracy now.

Government Grows To Bring Authoritarian Woes

Authoritarianism is not a partisan fight. It is a bi-partisan problem for the people. And it isn't just an American issue. It is global. Authoritarianism often seems like a good thing when your ideologues are in power. It can be tough to see. It can look like a good thing that is easy to overlook, or even excuse. It's NOT.

American Lives and Minds Are Political Chess Pieces

The fiasco in East Palestine is not and never was about the people effected. It is clearly about politics. Why did Trump go and Biden not so?...Politics over people. Not because anyone cares about the poor people. Alphabet agencies admit Covid "likely" came from a lab leak. And it is why government should NEVER have control over information.

The Ukrainian States Of America

Biden makes a trip to Ukraine to promise more money while Ohio soaks in Vinyl Chloride. Contracting Covid is Just as Effective at Preventing Covid (if not more) as the vaccines.

Trumpists vs McCarthy. Did Trump Help Democrats? & Twitter: The Psyop Factory

Kevin McCarthy's woes amuse Democrats but not "Leftists". Is Trump actually and asset for Dems now? Or is it still an open secret? Twitter is truly a place for rotten human, clout seekers.
