Trumpery and Tyranny? Forced Births or Freedom?

  

The Super Bowl of Democracy

Trumpery,  noun, plural trump·er·ies. Definition; Old English. something without use or value; rubbish; trash; worthless stuff.

nonsense; twaddle: His usual conversation is pure trumpery.

Archaic. worthless finery.

adjective

of little or no value; trifling, worthless; rubbishy; trashy.

I had been lulled into the sense of complacency by the time of the attack on the US capital on January Sixth 2020. I was on edge through most of the elections, and pins and needles from the time the counting started until Pennsylvania was called for Joe Biden. Then the last of the crazy law suits brought by the Trumpsters crazy lawyers.

Many of the politicians and the TV talking heads were saying that “This is the most important election of our lifetime”, and it was. I can not even imagine how bad it could be now if the Trumpsters were still in the white house. And so is this election. Just like the Super Bowl every year is the most important game of the year. So is the election every year the most important, only it is not a game. This is a contest for the continuation of our country as a functional republic.

We (The USA) survived the attempted coup d'état of the last election of 2020 by the Republican leadership. The sixty three law suits filed to challenge the already certified counts in the several states, that all failed. Then attempts to appoint alternate slates of false electors in several states. The full out assault on the capital on the day to certify the results of all the states elections on January Sixth. The crazy “Forensic” re-recounts in Arizona and several other states. The refusal of the people around the Trump gang to come and testify for the insurrection investigations of the January Sixth Committee, while lying about it out in public media.

This is not over. The Republican Party criminals will not quit, they have to much to loose. Whether it is time in prison, or loss of the giant fat cat bribes. Bribes that are destroying the foundation of the republic and the Constitution, ever since the insane CitizensUnited decision of the Supreme Court in 2010. Vast amounts of untraceable dark money in every kind of local and national political campaign. As our former President Jimmy Carter framed it, “The country has become an oligarchy of unlimited bribery.

The Supreme Court is now way beyond any authority or powers ever granted in Article Three of the US Constitution. They were never granted the authority or ability in the Constitution to define words or redefine words. Plane and simple, Corporations are not People, and Money is not Speech.

Now after years of obstruction of appointments to the courts by Mitch McConnell during the Obama years. Then with the very fast appointment of several extremest Justices to the court in the trump years. Who all committed perjury in the appointment hearings with the Senate. All claiming that Roe v Wade was well settled in law before being confirmed to the court.

There were discussions during the Constitutional Convention and the adoption of the Amendments, to also include medical freedom that document. This did not happen. Even back then, the idea of how important medical freedom was, was very well recognized. Now the fundamental right to medical care by women is in danger of being regulated away or even criminalized by these Republican extremists.

 

Not just voluntary Abortion, but even to criminalize birth control and

 prevention. No exception for a spontaneous miscarriage of a fetus 

with genetic congenital or other problems. To say nothing of the 

states ready to institute trigger laws that have no exception for rape 

or incest. And then to criminalize women that have gone through 

that. That is beyond crazy, that is amoral, heartless and cruel.

The Republican leadership say they value freedom, say they want to

 protect babies, even before they come out of the uterus, but do not 

want to protect the women. They refuse to support common sense 

gun ownership restrictions, and let thousands of kids die of gun 

violence. Guns are now the number one cause of death in children in

 America, even more than car wrecks.

The words of these Republicans in leadership do not match their 

actions. What is it? What is more important? Money from the gun 

lobby, or to protect our children? Forcing women to carry a child to

 full term even if it kills her? Forced birth or freedom? Which is it?

We are again at the point of the most important election in our life 

time. The Super Bowl of Democracy. Every year is the most 

important election, even the off year elections for governors, mayors

 or school boards. The tyranny of the few crooked oligarchy in the 

Supreme Court and a few hundreds of Republicans in leadership in 

DC, and the several state capitals. We can never allow this to 

continue. End the Republican Party. Never support a republican or 

corporation that supports Republicans and this attack on our country, 

until the ship of state is set aright. They seem to forget the part that 

says “We The People”.

The tide has turned and spring is coming. End the Republican party.

     There are not many people in the republican party that I would ever consider supporting, but here is one. Richard Painter is the former White House ethics lawyer from the first Bush Daddy Administration. 

 

    This is the first thing I noticed at the top of his campaign web sight. Really common sense for someone running as a GOP candidate. Where all I hear is the #BIGLIE stuff from regular rethuglican leadership

Ethics.
Environment.
Healthcare.
Farmers and
Small Businesses

 Sounds like he is running for the green Party. Looks like the #Bernie campaign did have a good influence on people with morals and ethics.

I have not even thought about supporting a republican since the time back in the days when John McCain was running back in the nineties. 

Too bad there are not a lot more of these type of old school Republicans who have some real morals or ethics willing to run.   My moms family were almost all Democratic Party supporters. Both of my parents were old school republicans like this. My dad worked for the military industrial complex and my mom taught business and ran her own business. Their involvement in politics was almost all at the local level, back before the press was bought by hedge funds and giant corporation, and all the local papers and independent TV, and radio stations were swallowed up. So just a thought, either the GOP has to join the dust bin of history or there have to be more people like Richard Painter to run on the GOP tickets around the country. Well anyway that's just a thought for today.  BB

One year ago today. #January6th, #CoupDeTat, #StoptheSteal #TheBigLie #NPR

 

A year ago today, I was sitting here in front of the computer, a nice view of trees out of the window. I had the radio on to KUAR the Little Rock NPR affiliate to get some local weather and news when the radio interrupted the regular show. They cut to a clip from Washington about events at the Capital Rotunda. An attack on the Capital, that started with a “Stop the Steal Rally”. People were swarming the Capital from the rally. The President told his supporters to walk down the Capital. He said “I will be there with you”, but he wasn't.

NPR, January 6^th.

I had been lulled into a calm state of mind, I thought the lies and law suits that all failed, were over. Just the Certificating of the electoral college vote was left. Boy howdy was I wrong! By that night the attack was over at the Capitol. I breathed a sigh of relief. Little did I know that the slide to a corrupted one party system was already being planed by Republican leadership in many of the state capitals around the country. The Big Lie Continues, NPR.

It has become clear that Democracy is not a product, it is a process.

Like Ben Franklin said after the Constitutional Convention. “A Republic, if You can keep it.”

Run for a local office, Democracy is not a spectator sport. Run for Something. Support local Candidates that support Democracy. Organize locally. Democracy is not a spectator sport. Tag, You’re it.

Why is BBB so Important?

 

When the power of private interests with in a country becomes more powerful than the government, then private power becomes more dangerous than foreign interests. FDR

When those private interests, seize control of the levers of government, and over power the legitimate functions of governing for whatever reason contrary to the interests of a healthy society, it is the responsibility of all people and especially those within the government to stop these private powers. This has happened before in America. Several times from foreign powers, and several times from within. Some times the destructive foreign powers become the destructive powers within.

This is where we are today in America.

History shows us that when the few have much, and that many lack much of the basics to sustain even at least a well taken care of family, a society becomes unstable. If the nation and the economy become too unstable the great tasks that must be accomplished will be much harder to complete. Soon and in the near future there are great tasks that must be accomplished, and this will take training many many more people than we have ready now. Many of the best engineers, technicians and scientists in our country are near the end of long careers.

Why must we have the Build Back Better plan

Why the Build Back Better Plan is So Important.

It will take having many many more workers of almost every occupation to accomplish this mission. An almost Herculean accomplishment. To build back better. To remake the US in a sustainable and equitable manner. We can rebuild the infrastructure for our country with the workers we have now. But at this time in history we will have to have many millions more workers of almost every imaginable occupation to finish remaking American into a long term success that is sustainable.

We can make all the schools to make sure every young one can have universal Pre-K or that every High School grad gets at least Two years of College or Vo-Teck Training. Do we even have enough teachers and professors across enough subjects now, to train the people we must educate to do this project? But if we do not have enough teachers, Why would we build it? Do we have enough teachers for every one from kindergarten to college? How many do we have to have, and how soon?

We can Build out enough High Speed Broad band internet and communications networks country wide. A fully upgraded sustainable electric grid. How many millions more Techs, Linemen, electricians, installers, and maintenance people are we going to have to train, and how many people are we going to have to train in Cybersecurity to be equal to the task of keeping this secure. How many more, to accomplish the task set out in front of us, to be equal to the project of saving the biosphere from utter collapse.

How many civil engineers, construction and design engineers. Other specialized engineers trained across several of these disciplines to oversee these great projects. High speed rail on a vast scale, Redesign and upgrade of the shipping, delivery systems and ports in America. Upgrading Bridges and of all the different highway and support systems for transportation in America.

How many people will it take for a state of the art re-envisioning of our water infrastructure to meet the task of saving the planet. A complete changing of the Argo-industrial -medical complex. A return to some kind of sane form of agriculture that does not destroy the biosphere or the health of our people.

Just as a consideration from some simple systems analyses. We can see that the cost of replacing all the damage done by recent weather disasters, it is worth investing in some long term strategy that will have multiple uses in preventing damages, and at the same time benefits in the battle to stop much worse disasters from global warming.

Republicans; A Tradition of Messing with Texas. #Sold out. #Privatization #Plutocracy.

 

Its not as if Texas was enough of a mess before this.

A privatized electric grid. A winter disaster that killed many people because of Privatization, Ala Ronald Reagan. Many more died from the Republican designed privatization than the Texas Republican leadership wants to admit..

This is to say nothing about all the damage to the infrastructure in Texas from the lack of electricity during the #Snowmageddon storm.

Now the 2010 census is ready and its time to reapportion the congressional seats for the State and Federal legislatures.

The Republican leadership know they will loose leadership and both houses if they do not cheat and steal the next election. As if that was not enough the Texas Republicans are hoping to remove many people from the voting rolls and make it harder to vote. There are many more dirty tricks up their sleeves with more to come if they can pull it off. The Democratic leadership and other members have left the state and fled to DC to hopefully get some help from the Dems and stop this continuing disaster

I am from New Mexico, and was still living in New Mexico around the time of the 2000 Census. I remember the State Legislature of Texas was in session and the Democratic Party membership of the legislature left the state of Texas to prevent the Republicans for instituting a new Redistricting map for Legislative seats.

Some of the Texan Democratic Legislators showed up in Santa Fe. The governor of Texas said he was going to send the Texas Rangers to find them and Bring them back. Needless to say the Authority's in New Mexico were not real happy about that idea.

There was still some animosity about Texas and New Mexico. Going back to the time of Spain or the Mexican Revolution, The division of lands, by the Federal government. Everything west of the Rio Grande river in New Mexico was considered part of Texas at one time. New Mexico and many New Mexicans still had title to their land that were land grants from the Queen of Spain. There were Families that felt like the Border crossed New Mexico, more that once. The older People used to say “We didn’t cross the border; the border crossed us”

New Mexico has almost always been quite progressive, since there was such a large ethnic mix since before New Mexico was a state. The Spanish, who exterminated, or conquered dozens of Native tribes. The Scots-Irish that did not get land in the time of the Oklahoma land rush gave away a lot of Native Tribal lands to more foreigners. But I digress! I was Thinking about Oligarchy and Tyranny.

We Now have an Oligarchy of Unlimited Bribery of Unlimited, and Headed towards Tyranny of a single party that has no honor or any shame about Lying to keep their Phony Baloney Jobs.

They Think it is about Money and Greed, and the next election to keep getting massive donations from the corrupt corporations and criminals they are bought off by.

Call your Congressional Representatives and Senators.

Tell them its time to Stand on the Progressive side of History.

The Oligarchy of unlimited Bribery. #Joe Manchin and #Kyrsten Sinema

 

 

It has become Clear that the Corporations have bought, and own the Elected and Appointed officials at many levels of our Government in the United States. As Jimmy Carter Called it, “An Oligarchy of Unlimited Political Bribery”.

Exxon-Mobile has stated publicly that they have Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema in their pocket . We can safely assume that they own all of the Republican party in federal positions in Washington DC. We can also assume that there are many other Democrats including Chris Coons and John Tester who have sold out in DC as well.

Check out opensecrets.org and see what your elected officials are reporting. This does not cover any of the vast amounts the Black Money that does not have to be reported from the 501-c-4 organizations or Super PACs. They have totally run amok since the 2010 decision of the Supreme Court called Citizens United which said money is speech. Now the majority of the Supreme Court is controlled and bought by the Corporate Fascists. This is so bizarre. Anyone with any common sense knows that money is money and speech is speech and never the twain shall meet.

There is now one party is actively acting to end democracy, and traitors to the Republic and their Oath of Office. The Republicans who have sold the birthright of a nation for a bowl of soup. Who have called January Sixth a regular tourist day. It was not. Who still push the ‘Big Lie’ every day. There are some so called Democrats that are actively aiding and abetting the traitors.

The First Article in Amendment to the US constitution says nothing about Money. It Very clearly covers the Five Freedoms related to Speech. It only applies to People, not Corporations. Only “We The People”,

All things People do, Worship, speech, a free Press or however you communicate today, the right to assembly which was the way to communicate back then before phones. The right to Petition for a redress of Grievances, that is to sue the government if needed. Or as it is also now used to push elected officials into doing the right thing via petition.

It is very clear that the Founders never intended to grant any special rights to the artificial organizations like this. They even went so far as to start a war over the power of a corporation. The British Corporation; The East India Company. The one that was shipping Tea and Opium into America, and famous for the Boston Tea Party. It is now looking like We could be at the edge of a new civil war in our country. It happened before in our country and its time to work to make sure this does not have to happen again. What can we do in defense of democracy.

It looks that We The People may have to Make a New Declaration of Independence from a new kind of Tyranny. The Tyranny of Dark Money and the The Oligarchy of Unlimited Bribery, Monopoly and corruption. It looks as if the Oligarchy is more interested in their money and power than they are interested in the people of America. That is the people who actually do the work that makes their insane amounts of wealth and greed possible. They are more interested in power and control than taking care of the planet or the environment and our common biosphere that we all must depend on to live.

I hope these people come to their senses before it is to late.

The National Chamber of Commerce has said they will donate to Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema since they Voted to stop the 15$ Hour Minimum Wage.

Joe Manchin used to be part of the Koch Brothers networks that have perverted much of the legitimate functions of our Government. The ones that Buy and Sell elected and appointed officials like a kid in a candy store. I presume Joe still is owned, even if it is not so openly as it used to be. More like a Mole now, than to representative for People in West Virginia.

Let your Congressional Representatives and Senators know about this and that it is time for this to end now. It is time for a truly open and honest discussion about corruption, and the open sale of politicians and our government, the elephant in the room. That our governments have been bought by big money and corruption. We Must have an open, transparent and honest government that includes all voices in elections. To raise generations of young people and tell them the long winded story about freedom and democracy in the form of revisionist history, and then say “aww tricks this doesn't include you!” is very very dangerous. The climate is already burning. Last summer the US. was burning, and looked so much like 1968-69, after the George Floyd murder.

Are you ready for a figurative kicking and scratching match? Ready to pledge you life, your time, your skills, your sacred honor, to save the vision of a more perfect union? To save the Planet?
