  1.  @lindadbse1919  ... yep, under capitalism everything can be stolen and most everyone can be bought. most of us can be bought on the cheap with a ridiculous, worthless cellphone. the philosophy of equalism says - the ruling elite don't oppress us. we oppress each other on the behalf of our rulers and its called "employment." our rulers pit us against each other for our daily survival. cut-throat, winner-take-all competition, rather than mutually beneficial cooperation, is the very foundation of capitalism. you ever known anyone who ever got rich from kindness and compassion? as for reincarnation; hinduism and buddhism link it to "karma." the belief is we can learn from the mistakes of our past lives to make a better future world for everyone. but i don't see anyone learning any lessons, acting any differently or a better world than 6000 years ago. in fact, i'd say things are much worse than 6000 years ago. the world's in a constant state of near total collapse and chaos. which only pits us against each even more. if reincarnation is real then it ain't doing nobody any good. betrand russell once said - "cooperation is the only thing that will redeem mankind." will we, as a species, EVER figure out this reality?

  2. yes, for the last 30 years everytime trump got on tv i'd change the channel. but for the last 6 years i've been FORCED to watch and endure the insane trump show. we can't get away from it. trump says or does something stupid or criminal and our news media covers it none stop. they had no choice since trump stole the white house. like you said, the FIRST day i wake up and experience ONE ENTIRE DAY without being inundated by trump's stupid and criminal antics will be MY LIBERATION DAY!

  3.  @debrakleid5752  ... thanks for that clarification. i'd forgotten she was in the military. but once you leave the service the oath you take to get into the service is no longer valid. only current military, elected officials, judges and cops are bound by any oaths.

  4. the corporations are buying up properties and increasing rents across the country! THE CORPORATIONS ARE CREATING THIS NATIONAL HOUSING SHORTAGE CRISIS! you should see the ridiculous and criminal demands being placed on renters! among other crimes they're demanding income be 3 times the rent! hell, i'm paying more than half of my income on rent now! i've never had 3 times the rent in income - EVER! and i've rented for over 40 years! so, thanks to corporate greed and the govts refusal to protect my rights, i'm about to become homeless althouhgh i have a steady income, a small savings and can afford a reasonable, non-price gouging rent! over 50% of today's homeless aren't mentally ill. they're the elderly, the disabled and the poor. they're the employed and their families! the corporations are buying up rental properties and increasing rents across the country. meawhile there's 5 year waiting lists on govt subsidized "afforadble housing." THIS IS A NATIONAL SCAM, A NATIONAL SHAME AND A NATIONAL CRISIS!

  5.  @markpmar0356  ... what the elite have been doing the last 25 years, since the internet kicked in, is "bubble" economics. these bubbles raise prices in different economnic sectors. the rich rake in huge profits and when the bubble bursts society pays the price. there was the internet bubble. it burst. the mortgage bubble. it burst. recently there was a covid-19 and used car bubbles that sent prices soaring. during covid-19 the profits of the rich increased some 30%. now there's a housing bubble and it's burst. congress holds committees to cuss out the CEOs but don't punish them for the harm they cause only encouraging them to move on to the next bubble. meanwhile the govt does nothing to stop the elite from pulling these scams. at best, they just offer more ineffective govt programs or offer no help at all!

  6. trump's 30,000 lies while in the whitehouse wasn't political? the GOP twice acquitting trump of impeachment when they publicly admitted he was guilty wasn't political? trump continuing to spread the lie that he won the 2020 election isn't political? trump screaming "stop the vote" during the 2020 election wasn't political? trump instigating attacks on school boards, health care woirkers, election officials and congress wasn't political? the extremism, lies, hypocrisy, double standards and situational ethics on both sides is enough to destroy democracy all on their own. but to complain that a politician makes "political" comments is absurd beyond absurd. making political statements is what politicians do. the question isn't whether politicians should or shoudn't make political statements but whether those statements defend fascism or democracy, are divisive and fearmongering or are inclusive and accurate. i'm so sick of this crap. the GOP has fully embraced fascism; its lies, its deflections, its corruption and its violence. and trump is the poster boy of this GOP fascism.

  7. the only clue trump has in anything he says is how to manipulate his cult with his lies and misinformation.

  8.  @Randyrocker1  ... your comment made me laugh. it sure seems that way don't it? the GOP leadership, including mcconnell, already expressed that desire concerning the dems. in private they expressed the hope the dems would take trump down so the GOP leadership wouldn't have to. to me, that just reeks of cowardice. the GOP is lead by cowards who don't have the integrity to do what they know should be done hoping the opposing party will do their dirty work for them. you can't get much lower than that.

  9. why do they have "pride" signs up? do they have signs exhaulting and promoting hetreosexuality and common sense? no? why do gays and trans get this special treatment? why do we have to accept being forced to bend over backwards to kiss the butts of the fascist gay-lobby? just what is gay merchandise? are gay's only allowed to buy things marked "gay" on them? can't they buy the same products everyone else does? why do we treat gays with kit gloves while we trash EVERYONE else so gay's feelings aren't hurt? no one gives a damn about hurting my feelings. MY GOD PEOIPLE! quit acting like gays are superior to ALL humanity and deserve special privilege!

  10.  @bonitajanssen745  ... i'm glad to hear you don't like trump too. i quit conforming to this insane world over 50 years when i was a teenager. its led to nothing but a life-time of misery. but that doesn't matter. my soul ISN'T for sale. i will never comply to the gangsters who rule us all and who want to abuse and enslave me.
    2
  11. we have to examine why its so hard for people to say "no" to crazy, corrupt, disgusting people? the left does it too. its like we don't want to hurt the feelings of our abusers. we accept delusion over reality, falshoods over facts and absurdity of common sense just so we feel like we're a part of something. we want to belong and be accepted so bad we're willing to abandon all logic and observable reality. we're willing to betray our own ethics and integrity. why is that?

  12. good point. actually, before his tv show trump was nearly broke. his companies werre hemorrhaging money. mark burnett and abc came along and decided to help giving trump an undeserved and unearned "reality" tv show that replenished trump's bank accounts. meanwhile, i'm being denied medical care and housing right now in my OWN COUNTRY! i'm about to become blind and homeless and no one gives a crap. profiteering and price gouging corporations have taken over the govt and are pushing inflation and denying services and basic human rights, PROTECTED BY LAW, right here in fascist america! lawyers, doctors, medicare, HUD, politicians and the news media ALL IGNORE THESE CRIMES being committed across the nation. isn't america great? i'd move the hell outta here BUT I'M TOO DAMNED POOR AND SICK!

  15. these people are criminals. and stupid one's at that. these people could be voting GOP. they don't know. i'm not a big fan of drop boxes. they should at least be located in front of voting locations and preferably inside the building. there should be an election official there to recieve the ballots and mark off the voters name just like in same-day, location voting. i'm also not a big fan of early voting. here's how it should work. instead of voting day there should be voting week or voting month. (no longer than a month though.) polls remain open from dawn to dusk. 7 days a week for as long as the voting period lasts. people who have trouble voting call a hotline and a PAID election official can come collect their votes verifying their name in the process. voters vote at their leisure not at the govts command. i've been advocating this SANE system for 40 years. guess what? i've been ignored and margainalized for 40 years. go figure.

  16.  @ZMAN_420  ... thanks. i'm not sure if armed guards are required. but why not? although their presence could be interpreted as intimidation. just make them firearm-free-zones. that oughta make the GOP happy. we have to face it. no lasting positive or constructive improvements to our country will ever occur as long as we continue to allow ourselves to be lead by fascists on either side. as long as we continue to do things as we have been for the last century fanaticism, extremism and absurdities will rule us and our country.

  17. here's what the DOJ needs to do - send a legal response to judge canon saying - we reject your intefereing on this matter because 1) you aren't the legal judge assigned to this case, 2) we reject your findings on that ground and on the ground you aren't following legal procedural standards and 3) this is an abuse of the courts and an illegal tactic by trump to deley, corrupt or obstruct this investigation into his alleged crimes. but guess what? the DOJ won't do this. they'll just play along with whatever BS trump pulls regardless of how illegal and unprecedented it is.

  18. one thing trump, george santos and the GOP has proven beyond the shadow of any doubt is that the u. s. justice system is corrupt as hell. both trump and santos committed BLATANT fraud in public for all to see yet neither of them have been indicted or arrested for their fraud against the american people. and, now, its the DEMS who're refusing to enforce the law and protect our nation from such obvious criminal political activity. trump stole the 2016 election and tried to steal the 2020 election and has gotten away with both crimes. santos stole his election and isn't facing any criminal charges. and the GOP and the dems are doing NOTHING to punish or stop all this fraud! its because our entire political system is based upon fraud and making false claims and promises to get elected. BOTH SIDES play this game. the u. s. is a nation of fools ruled by gangsters. and the last 7 years has proved this beyond any doubt!

  19. these maga politicians are dangerously underqualified, unqualified to hold public office and be entrusted with the daily issues of govt. they don't know the laws, they make up their own facts and they're using the govt to seek revenge on percieved political enemies. not only that they're dumb as rocks. they constantly mispronounce words and misapply defintions. we probably have more unqualified and corrupt people in govt today than we ever have in the history of this country. and a lot of this has to do with underqualified, unqualified and gullible, paranoid and flat out stupid voters. who vote for morons just as stupid as they are. they don't vote for the most qualified candidate but for the candidate that tells themm the lies they want to hear. is that any way to run a country?

  20.  @gottalovegabe1176  ... no. ignoring corruption doesn't make it go away. i complain so they'll FIX THE PROBLEM!

  21.  @nklinef  ... well, as little credibility they may or may not have, they still have more credibility than trump and maga.

  22. see? even some of the worst presidents and presidential candidates in american history were civil, humble and uncorrupt enough to admit defeat and wish the winner well. that is, until litigation addict trump. who never let reality or the law interfere with his greed, narcissism and criminality.

  23. by law thomas is REQUIRED to recuse himself. even the mere hint of impropriety demands judges to recuse themselves. will thomas do what's required by ethics and the law? NOT BLOODY LIKELY! we already have 5 supreme court justices who committed perjury to get on the court. i wouldn't expect them to stsart acting ethically or legally now. we'll have to wait, and wait AND WAIT some some more to see if ANY law will ever be enforced against trump! two legal principles come to mind - 1) if you want justice go to a brothel. if want to get screwed go to court. 2) the chomsky quote - lawyers are paid to tell us the law doesn't mean what it says. the law is ridiculously and needlessly complicated. equalism says "complication divides. simplification unites." complication in the law exists to create ambiguity. and ambiguity in the law invites, no, almost always results in corruption and favors the privileged, the criminal and the unethical rich.

  24.  @Leo82155  ... what yoiu're talking about is choosing the lesser of two evils. that's basically how either party wins elections. people more often vote against a candidate than for one. i'm tired of playing that fasscist game. i'm sick of choosing between two extremes. i don't want to live in a liberal fascist state any more than i want to live in a conservative one. i'm sick and tired of playing "divide-and-conquer" while both sides screw me, dehumanize me. demonize me and ignore me. you might like being exploited and manipulated but i don't see. i see the false promises of both sides. the baiting, delusions and divisions of both sides. i say its time for a change. because whatever it is we're doing - IT AIN'T WORKING! the nation and the world is more screwed as its ever been. we're less free and more divided than ever.

  25. trump and his maga cult will still claim fraud. they'll claim BRG, barr, his own DOJ and FBI, his own whitehouse staff, fox news, all courts and all other 3rd party "researchers" are corrupt and biased and conspiring against poor little ole defenslesss, victimized trump. furthermore trumps frame of mind means nothing LEGALLY or otherwise. the fact that all these pundits keep bringing it up proves there's a different standard of justice for the rich. even if trump really did believe there was corruption in the 2020 election it doesn't give him an excuse to send his supporters to attack the capital at any time or FOR ANY REASON! you go to court and claim you didn't know your crimes were illegal. see how long you stay out of prison.

  26. i think both sides have lost the battle between "normal" and "crazy." both sides have been taken over by delusional extremism and fanatism. both sides promote and pursue purposely extremist, fanatical and absurd agendas designed to create social divisions and political paranoia. one side wants us all dependent on the ruling elite through an unrestricted private sector and the other side wants totally dependent on the ruling elite through govt. both sides embrace and promote the corporate technological police-state that addicts us, controls us and tells us what to do. neither side promotes reason, logic, observable reality, science, women's rights or human rights. both sides push suspicion, distrust, intolerance and hate of the other side. i'm tired of playing the ruling elite's game of "divide-and-conquer." the question is why do you keep playing the divisive and destructive game?

  27. there's ONE THING even more dangerous to our country than trump and maga. OUR CRIME OF A JUSTICE SYSTEM! if we had any justice system at all in this country trump would've been inprisoned 3 months ago. a year ago. 2 years ago. 5 years ago. 20 years ago. 30 YEARS AGO! trump's been on a 50 year crime spree and he STILL walks free. and he ain't the only rich person to be given such privilege. the american justice system is a SHAME and CRIME on our entire country! and the medical sysatem isn't any better.

  28. i'm not too sure anymore if human society couldn't use a nice, cleansing collapse. maybe we deserve it after allowing ourselves to be ruled by gangsters and thugs the last 6000 years. maybe its time for a change and we should stop playing this endless damned stupid rigged game generation after generation. it doesn't matter who wins any damned pointless "election." the conflict, chaos and corruption will continue as long as WE, the people, are so gullible as to keep playing the elite's game.
    2
  29.  @randyhilton6629  ... yep. i founded an entire philosophy called "equalism" based partly on that fact. big govt is the result of capitalism not socialism. big govt is used to enforce the will of the ruling elite. it serves no other purpose.
    2
  30.  @briangallagher787  ... and the supreme court is the first place we should start withholding their pay. they just lied saying the 2nd amendment protects EVERYONE'S wish to carry guns IN PUBLIC! there's nothing in the 2nd amendment that even gives individuals the right to own a gun. much less to brandish it in public and threaten and intimidate people. this amendment mentions NOTHING about "public carry." this amendment deals ONLY with state stanctioned and regulated militias. there's no debate here. that's what it says. the supreme court now has a fascist majority thanks to traitor trump. and since he's a clear traitor he had NO authority to appoint ANY JUDGES! his judges need to be REMOVED immediately. they were placed there through fraud and deception. CEOs, corporations, politicians, the supreme court and cops have no obligation to follow the law. but YOU and I do? its called a LAWLESS society. where privilege determines who can and cannot ignore the law. isn't capitalism great?

  31.  @gsdlover257 ... trump is absolutely the worst candidate on every level imaginable.

  33. its true that probably more than 50% of all americans are, right now, under the "influence" of some corporation's psychotropic drug. i learned a few years ago that both my siblings and my mom were all on "mood stabilizers" to help them deal with the pressures and stresses of everyday life. i'll bet nearly EVERY AMERICAN knows someone on some kind of pharmaceutical or are on them themselves. THAT'S NOT GOOD! here's the problem... instead of fighting for a society where those enormous stresses don't ruin your life we're being advised to just take some over-priced drugs and all your problems will be resolved. got an unruly kid? just put them on expensive corporate drugs. that'll solve your problem. over half of all american kids and adults are now dependent on these very dangerous drugs designed to make us numb and compliant. but the GOP offers no solutions. in fact, its mainly because of their apathy and cruelty that these social pressures exist in the first place. the GOP create the problems and the dems offer the drugs to deal with those problems. also, more than half of americans are on some kind of govt assistance. the GOP create the need for this assistance while the solution the dems offer is more govt assistance. there's something wrong here coming from BOTH SIDES! something that trump and other fascists can and do take full advantage of to gain support. and that just adds to the insanity of the whole mess!

  34. i just recently saw the results of a harvard poll that says trump would defeat biden in a rematch. if that poll is accurate we're in a heap of trouble. i don't like biden much either. both people ARE TOO OLD! but to choose trump the traitor over anyone is scary as hell. and, of course, it begs the question - why isn't trump in prison yet? why is trump and his co-traitors allowed to spread their anti-american venom at will and MAKE MONEY from it?
    2
  35.  @kevchard5214  ... man, you got that right. the dems talk the talk but don't walk the walk. i agree. the elite could've easily stopped a gangster like trump from stealing the white house in 2016. but they didn't because they knew he was a polarizing figure. the ruling elite want us divided. they want us fighting each other so we never join forces against them! and, not just americans, but people throughout the world have fallen for this scam generation after generation. you know what's weird. it seems its the most extreme and absurd policies of both sides that become reality. while the common sense, logical and reality based policies are continually struck down. this insanity is what keeps us at each others throats attacking each other instead of working together for the common good.
    2
  36.  @kevchard5214  ... that's an excellent observation. every time the voter votes to change something for the better it always ends up worse. laws passed are so full of loopholes, exceptions and double-talk they actually achieve the opposite than what was claimed to be intended. no wonder so many fear change. things only change for the worse. chomsky says - lawyers are paid to tell us that laws don't mean what they say. (paraphrased) man, was he right about that!

  37. this c huirch violsated its tax-free status by allowing a political speech to be given. but of course no one enforces the law in this country. pastors have been violating the law for decades even going so far as to demand their "flocks" vote for a particular candidate or party. and none of these pastors have ever been charged or had their tax-free status revoked. what's wrong with this picture?
    2
  38. what these crazy judges are intentionally missing is that the 2nd amendement doesn't give anyone the right to murder or even threaten others. it's implications are that law-abiding, non-violent people have a right to own firearms for SELF-protection. for defense not aggression. so, under reagan the u.s. moved drastically backwards in its violation of human rights. only to be outdone by bush and trump in later years. what the courts have decided is that laws don't have to meet modern standards or needs and no one has the right to feel safe in their own society.

  39. an out of control wild man DID kill ashli babbot. his name was trump. all corporations sell nothing but crap. they all lie, cheat and steal. its what makes america great! we're a nation of fools ruled by gangsters. and this won't change regardless of what happens to trump. and it don't look like anything's going to happen to trump. the ruling gangsters protect their own! if you're a lower class traitor you get disgusting meals behind bars. if you're a rich traitor you get breakfast in bed. and law enforcement is right there to serve it to you! and its been like this for 250 years. and americans STILL haven't figured this out. isn't america great?

  40. judges MUST make emergency rulings regarding musk's ILLEGAL access to the federal govt and issue ARREST WARRANTS! odd, trump could recieve IMMEDIATE EMERGENCY relieve at the asking but trump's prosecutors had too wait MONTHS for judges to rule. we're STILL waiting on rulings concerning trump's document theft case! courts drag their feet when protecting the law but are instantaneous when violating it! HOW IS THAT? every trump decree should be put on hold pending judicial and congressional review! why is this not happening? TRUMP ISN'T EVEN PRESIDENT! quit treating him like a dictator!
    1
  41. if trump were in prison, where he belongs, these rallies wouldn't exist. the DOJ needs to do a lot of things concerning trump and enforcing the law that they aren't doing. one thing they could do right now is put a gag order on trump. this isn't uncommon. criminals under investigation and under arrest are often issued gag orders to stop the accused from lying to the public about their cases. trump, himself, boggles the mind. maga betrays all common sense. but the DOJ's lack of legal action against trump is beyond baffling. it defies all logic. they won't arrest trump. they won't shut him up. they won't stand in trump's way from profitting from his lies. just what is going on here? you'd think the DOJ wants trump to continue his destruction of the u. s. govt and are even willing to help him do it!
    1
  42. all of the positions just listed are mainly economic. easily 65% to 80% of americans support sane and just economic policies. now, if you could just get out from under the "gay-lobby's" thunb and admit men can't have babies and get over all this ridiculous "pronoun" chicanery and stop defending illegal immigrants and "sanctuary cities" that vow to break the law to help non-citizens - you might be on to something. i'm an independent but i used to be a PROUD "leftist" until the so-called left was taken over by wackos and extremists. you CAN support gay rights without condoning all the extreme delusion nonsense the gay lobby now DEMANDS! you protect foreigners best through an uncorrupted, anti-fascist and anti-corporate foreign policy. trump and maga are our biggest threat right now. but BOTH SIDES still uphold extremist positions that threaten our unity, science, biology, women's rights and REALITY! let's quash this trump threat then we can work on fixing all this other insanity both sides are pushing that are designed to DIVIDE US!

  43.  @thetheo859  ... speaking of threats to the country: trump's walking free two years after commiting TREASON IN PUBLIC! that doesn't even include the two hundred other crimes trump committed while in the white house! instead of enforcing the law the dems are using trump's crimes, LIKE TRUMP, to raise money and as campaign fodder. both the GOP and the dems are corrupt as hell! i say screw this country.

  44. its not just about defamation and lying. its about fraud ands making millions off of that fraud. (fraud is making money off of your lies.) alex jones attacked these victims for money. like trump, he made a carreer out of it. he made a fortune off of destroying people's lives. now, let's apply the same laws to trump. trump's doing what alex jones did and he's STILL doing it!

  46. it depends on what you call "hate" speech. the left has decided that any contrary opinion to theirs is "hate" speech. (the right does this too) you label any criticisms of the fascist gay lobby or of pro-illegal immigrant groups as "hate." the only thing that needs to be censored are calls to violence and blatant lies. which means the gay-lobby can't spread their nonsensical and absurdist lies about the myth of "transgenderism," that just made up, anymore. i criticize the gay lobby all the time and NEVER ONCE have i spread hate or lies. but my criticisms are often refused posting or taken down seconds after postiong. the fascist gay lobby has taken over left wing media and the left. you can't even call a man a man anymore. its now basically illegal, if not impossible to state the biological and scientific fact that only women can have babies. the gay lobby insists such statements of fact be removed and stopped from being expressed at all. the laft has turned toward fascism, the right has been there for a long time, and that's a SERIOUS concern to us all.

  49. yep, just find a lawyer who'll file such a class action suit. i wouldn't hold your breath. odd, we've been promised video-phones for 100 years now. we've had video-phone technology since the 1960s. sixty years later all we got are these damned stupid, overpricved tracking and recording devices you carry in your pocket that you rarely get good, reliable service on that have taken over every aspect of out lives. yet still no in-home video phones that can be connected to your home computer screen or tv. science and technology are nothing but corporate scams. and with every generation over the last 40 years our youth is sold the lie that corporate technology is the savior of humanity all the while all it does is oppress us, deny us what we want and tell us what to do. how did people get so damned stupid? from listening to and accepting corporate propaganda rather than the wisdom of the adults of each generation.
