Civil Rights icon Cong John Lewis might call a "good problem."

I admit problems w/ Sen. Sanders, but Ideologies aside, which is where they belong, I note his "Massive" audience is as usual, like a blanket of fresh snow with barely a fleck of the cultural medley that is real America; in this case a "Good problem," talking to the only people who can fix it.

On a lighter note, "Welcome home Smokey (the name I give all Black cats)! "How u gonna keep em down in the Apt. once they've seen outside?" I prescribe a review of Disney's "Lady and the Tramp, "If U don't please," & a few episodes of the TV cartoon series "Top Cat" & smile at their self sufficiency

Expecting elected lawmakers to suddenly act as revolutionists is a delusion, & Dems. have told us so; instead calling on their constituents, "Us, the People to rise up & fill the streets." Historically few if any politicians are ever killed or injured in democracy-saving fights & demonstrations.

American Nazis hosted summer camps to train young racist/antisemites in violence. They held mass rallies in NYC. Congressmen on Hitler's payroll (we have receipts) were regularly flitting to Berlin, delivering floor speeches written by Nazi propagandist spies; only Pear Harbor saved us that time

Are these the spontaneous cries of outrage from a vast pool of Americans supporting Trump, fascism & White supremacy? Are the (never revealed) threats of violence against lawmakers & their families so frightening that Republicans are forgiven their moral paralysis? I Think Not.

Trying not to stay calm & pay forward my utilities when possible. The first check missed or cancelled will be catastrophic for the coup makers - Citizens will revolt. How long they intend to use it as a terror weapon before, overcome their sadist impulses they pull a stop payment stunt.

To pass on their wealth power & crucially their name unto perpetuity is their unholy grail. Trump's ham-handed family fondling & Musk's serial fathership tip it. For lesser greedy-cats, media, political & religious ultra-millionaires, the King's secondhand blessing of hereditary nobility is enough.

"Hereditary power." is my answer to the question, "How much F*cking money is enough for these Peter Pan billionaires, & men w/ political power to starve, impoverish, or kill millions; what more do they want?" To live forever through the majesty of Divine Right a blood-favor only given by God.

Trump loyalists lap it up w/ their near vestigial adoration & fascination, of European Americans for all things Royal: Crowns, 7-G watches, bejeweled staffs of office, gold toilet seats; ostentation is a mark of divinity. The one thing royalty have the uber-rich & powerful don't, "hereditary Power."

Brilliant! "Reverse Sadam Hussain" as when during a long speech the dictator's security thugs removed his political enemies one by one from the terrified audience; this SOTU, a replay as Republicans watch in horror their democratic opposition stride out defiantly one at a time. DECORUM IS COWARDICE
