Thank you so much! I appreciate the kind words. and promise you I'll keep doing my best to speak for you and the vast majority of this country who gets that Trump/MAGA/GOP at this point are fully corrupt gangsters who must be electorally tossed into the abyss.

Trump's Mad Hatter logic: You better not call me a fascist; call me a fascist and I'll have you arrested.

During his first administration, Trump ("the Iguana," I call him) muttered something along the lines of — "Did you know Lincoln was a Republican? Not too many people know that." Apparently he just became apprized of that arcane bit of knowledge a day or two earlier.

Not only is the Iguana ignorant; he's too stupid to know how ignorant he is, and too ignorant to know how stupid he is.

Actually there's an Iggy the Iguana who runs things around that creeps place back there who disagrees. The iguanas I've met seem more capable than that creep. But okay.

Your ringing the bell Cliff. I hope enough of us are listening. As long as we have the ability to vote, I will insure to keep voting for Democrats. We do have some outstanding people in the party. And no matter what the fat felon spouts, I have not forgotten Epstein.

Cliff, you are right. Fascism cannot stand without a lot of help. Henry Wallace knew this when he wrote the op/ed that got him removed from FDR's ticket as an incumbent vice-presidential candidate. Wallace warned that American Big Business would be the major collaborated of American Fascism if that movement was allowed to get off the ground. Not much has changed since then, and make no mistake about it, corporate media IS big business. What's a 15 sec spot during the Superbowl cost?---Roland Poche, New Orleans

I so wish you weren't right about Hakeem Jeffries...((sigh)) And - I'm sorry; you would have made a fine comedy writer.

Cliff? I agree on all points. Except for the offer for the privacy cleanup thing. Turns out I was able to annoy the databrokers a while ago they, well except for one who thinks the original two for the phone number can get back to them, everyone else has removed all of my information from the Internet. All of the spammers are working on old lists. All except for a few out of my six AT&T addresses, none of them are published and yet they get spammed.

We are still almost submerging ourselves. And with regards to Kirk why aren’t we saying that a groyper spilled the trigger. Even now all we do is pull out charts about violence

Musk is trying REALLY hard to incite a civil uprising around the world with lies about "the violent left," warning young men, "you either fight back or die." Show us this imaginary "violent left," Elon. May your efforts be as successful as your Wisconsin Supreme Court fight.
