In my opinion, one of the worst aspects of these fundraising letters is that they drive ordinary people apart. I have Trump-supporting family members--so does my boyfriend. We're not giving them up. We just vote differently. I do think Trump is dangerous, but dividing the American public into the good guys and bad guys is more dangerous in the long run.
It's all the Blue Team has at this point. They have no policies that any people in the US want (except the war profiteers) and so they have to run on fear. It is the primary weapon that wealthy elites use to herd the masses. If you turn on TV news, it is a 24/7 fear fest. The Red Team is the same, they blather 24/7 about immigrant hoards. It is no wonder that the US is falling apart when there is this level of fearmongering and dysfunction.
Though Trump may not be the answer, I have seen nothing but division and negativity spew out of our current "supposed President's" mouth since day one!!!!!!!!!! Good article and will be linking it today @https://nothingnewunderthesun2016.com/
The last President I really Respected was Ron Reagan. I see his Son Ron Jr. does the Atheism commercials now -- off topic, but not really we need to keep Religion & Politics separate. I like him too. The last President with any Vision for me was JFK and his: The New Frontier! Sorry Politics are that Dry (Academic & Dull) nowadays though possibly they may be right in that Trump may actually be more enfeebled by Age at this pt. He never really was any "Mental Giant" to begin with... 7 more months to go! My much more Interesting Countdown is to the Total Solar Eclipse than those 2 boobs...!
NOT TO BE OUTDONE BY TRUMP, BIDEN RELEASES OWN VERSION OF THE QURAN
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Not to be outdone by Trump releasing the "God Bless The USA" Bible, President Biden announced today the production of his very own "Allahu Joe Biden" edition of the Quran.
"Just in time for Ramadan!" exclaimed Biden, holding up a copy fresh off the printing press. "Allahu, uh, the thing!"
According to sources, the new Quran will come with a copy of the Hamas charter as well as a list of President Biden's favorite Arabic proverbs. "Back when I was a kid, I was literally raised in mosques! I was always hanging out with the Imams -- not a joke," said Biden. "Muslim Joe, that's what they used to call me back in Scranton. Trump thinks he's such a hotshot with his Bible, wait until you see the 'Allahu Joe Biden' Quran, the Arabs are going to go crazy for this."
Though the White House vehemently denied Biden's new Quran to be associated with his poor poll numbers in Minnesota and Michigan, pundits have remained skeptical. "With no improvement in the polls after negotiating to free 400 Hamas terrorists, Biden is getting desperate," said Hill commentator Janice Beasley. "Sadly, I don't think he knows how the Muslim community is going to take the phrase 'Allahu Joe'. This won't be pretty."
At publishing time, Biden had announced a humanitarian airdrop of Biden Qurans into Dearborn, Michigan.
Earlier, there was a brief discussion about Donald Trump’s latest fundraiser, the “God Bless The USA” Bible. Here are
10 CHANGES TRUMP MADE IN THE 'GOD BLESS THE USA' BIBLE
The entire world is still abuzz with former President Donald Trump's announcement of the release of his new "God Bless the USA" Bible, but people have wondered what sets this new edition of the Bible apart from all others before it.
We obtained an advance copy and can unveil the following list of changes in Trump's new Bible:
1. Moses has to hold up the American flag so Israelites can win in battle: Waving Old Glory gives the Hebrews the victory.
2. Proverbs is replaced with a collection of Trump's finest tweets: A book full of wisdom, 280 characters at a time.
3. The New Testament now includes the full text of TRUMP: THE ART OF THE DEAL: The two greatest books in history are now together in one volume.
4. Joseph's colorful coat is orange: A very beautiful orange. People loved the orange coat. Everyone says so.
5. Jesus is betrayed by a kiss from Mike Pence: Never trusted Pence. Short guy, fly on head. Not trustworthy.
6. All biblical villains now have nicknames: Including "Phony Pharaoh," "Nasty Nebuchadnezzar," and "Lyin' Lucifer."
7. The first apostle Jesus calls is Ben Franklin: Put down your kite and follow me!
8. 23rd Psalm replaced with lyrics to "American Pie": Such a beautiful song. Let's Make Psalm 23 Great Again!
9. Ravens feed Elijah by bringing him a Big Mac and fries: God provides the best food for His people.
10. Jesus doesn't die in this one: People prefer stories where the hero doesn't die.
That's just a few examples of the exciting additions to the most sacred text in human history. Order your copy today and have God's Word autographed by Trump as a free gift!
At the risk of resurrecting Dennis Merwood’s favorite “Old, Dead Horse” for beating, and triggering one of his routine, standardized, cut-and-paste diatribes against anybody who “loves” America doing anything but voting for Trump… :
As it stands right now, in every federal election to be held in 2024, Americans will have five choices. They will be able to:
* Vote for the Democrat.
* Vote for the Republican.
* Vote Third [Fourth, Fifth, etc] Party.
* Write-In Somebody/Anybody.
* Not Vote.
What if there was a Sixth Choice?
What if there was a Sixth Choice that demanded additional choices be offered? And then Voters made that Choice by being able to vote for it?
What if on every ballot for every federal election there was also a designated spot for “None Of These Candidates”?
This presents the argument that “None Of These Candidates” should be on every ballot of every federal election, and proposes a nation-wide campaign to give the American Voters a real Alternative to ~ and an actual Antidote for ~ what America’s Ruling Political Class is and will be giving them for so-called, alleged “Choices” in 2024.
The best alternative to, antidote for, and action against the “Choices” that America’s Ruling Political Class is offering Voters in 2024 is NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES [NOTC].
Casting one’s vote for any of the 3rd, 4th, or 5th Party candidates will accomplish nothing except give the individual Voter the satisfaction of having voted in accordance with her or his conscience. It will have no impact whatsoever on whether Trump or Biden gets elected.
But if all those contemplating voting 3rd, 4th, or 5th party voted instead for NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES, it could have an impact. Certainly more than scattered votes for the different alternative candidates.
And if all those Voters ~ who have nobody to vote FOR in the election, and only Trump or Biden as who they are going to vote AGAINST being the next President by voting for the other guy, the so-called “lesser of two evils” ~ if all of those Voters voted NOTC, it could have an impact, as well.
And finally, if all those Voters ~ who are fed up enough with American politics to not vote for or against anybody, and not vote at all ~ if all those Voters had the opportunity to vote for NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES as an alternative to Not Voting, it could also have an impact. [Note: In 2016, 38.6% of all Registered Voters did not vote for anybody to be the next President; in 2020, 33.3% did not vote for anybody for POTUS,]
Done in sufficient numbers all across the nation, a strong showing by NOTC would send a very loud and clear message ~ a shot across the bow, as it were ~ to that Ruling Political Class that its time of unbridled, unchallenged, and unchallengeable political power is over.
And that having to choose between “the lesser of two evils” is really nothing but a thinly disguised version of “the evil of two lessers.” And is no longer an acceptable option.
So the Question becomes: How would one vote for NONE OF THESE CANDIDATES and actually make a difference?
One very obvious option would be to organize and launch a national, 50-State wide campaign to get Voters to write-in “None Of These Candidates.”
An alternative to writing-in NOTC would be mandating by State-established process and procedure [legislative action, voter referendum, etc] that NOTC be available as a choice on all ballots for all federal elections held in that State.
Either and/or both of these things could happen very easily if a critical mass of conscientious, concerned, and committed Citizens determined to make exactly that happen in their State in plenty of time for Election2024; particularly in those states with US Senate elections.
For more information and specific details on how and why NOTC2024 is the ONLY viable option and choice that has the potential of bringing meaningful, effective Change to American Politics and its system of Government and Governance, contact me by email at notc.alaska@gmail.com.
Given the arrogant, ignorant policies of and actions overseas by the so-called “Leaders” of the American Government so far in this Chinese Year of The Green Wooden Dragon; and,
Given the Goat Fuck that is American Politics this Election year; and
Given the leading contenders to be the Next Supreme Leader of that arrogant and ignorant Government…:
One can only imagine what next Monday ~ April Fools’ Day 2024 ~ will bring. To say nothing of Easter Sunday, the day before.
Or the End of Ramadan on April 9; the day after the Total Solar Eclipse.
Or the Beginning of Passover on April 22, which ends on April 30.
How did T.S. Eliot put it to open his 1922 poem THE WASTE LAND?
Yeah, the fear-mongering is excessive, and tiresome. I will say, though, about your reference to "bloodbath," Bill: TFG predicted that consequence if he isn't elected. And I have no doubt he'd do whatever he could to get the MAGAs to assure that happens. Still, it's in poor taste for the Dems to echo the term.
I agree whole-heartedly that the vitriol and apocalyptic terminology needs to be replaced with a much more constructive message. If the Dems can't produce that, they've given voters no reason to support them.
I'll be going out next week to collect signatures to get Cornel West on the Illinois ballot. I won't vote for a man devoted to himself alone or to a mass murderer. In the Illinois DP primary, I voted for Marianne Williamson. She got about 3% of the vote. RFKJ is all in for Israel. I have to admit the big names are very easily disqualifying themselves for my vote, essentially trumpeting why they are unfit for the office.
In my opinion, one of the worst aspects of these fundraising letters is that they drive ordinary people apart. I have Trump-supporting family members--so does my boyfriend. We're not giving them up. We just vote differently. I do think Trump is dangerous, but dividing the American public into the good guys and bad guys is more dangerous in the long run.

Yup the are both a horses arse.
Vote Green dear colleagues.
*Break away from the war industry
* the 2 party system is not working

Genocide Joe wants you to treat MAGA like Bibi treats Palestinians……
The last President I really Respected was Ron Reagan. I see his Son Ron Jr. does the Atheism commercials now -- off topic, but not really we need to keep Religion & Politics separate. I like him too. The last President with any Vision for me was JFK and his: The New Frontier!

Reagan was surely the worst president of my lifetime. Trump is a buffoon. Biden is a dangerous demented neocon. Vote 3rd party, if at all.
