I am no one. Meaning that there is nothing in life that would make me significant. I like to think and understand in a way that is outside of normal conflict. Where others see conflict, I see a manufactured division to keep us separated and servile.

The problem with computer people is that they believe everything is 0 and 1. Then they think they can solve all problems with a 0 or 1. They hear mine and think our records are in a coal mine somewhere. Life is full of nuance Musk will never get. And since they are infallible, they never listen.

Boy was I wrong. The stock market usually is a see-saw and recovers. Maybe America should have paid more attention that the president has gone bankrupt 6 times.

Business owners love the line that they want to hire the best person for the job and DEI would make them hire a less qualified person. Truth is it’s not that DEI makes you hire an unqualified person, it prevents you from not hiring someone because they are DEI.

Because 97% of all Wall Street trades are done by computers, it is likely that the market will shoot up on Friday. Wall Street is stupid.

Fire a bunch of government workers. Unemployment goes up. Stock market goes down. Wall Street is stupid.

Seriously, all going on in the world and the White House is being used to negotiate the merger of LIV golf and the PGA. Like we didn’t know the focus of Trump anyway.

I think we are missing a FAFO. for decades republicans have screamed waste fraud and abuse to their mooks about the federal govt. yet did next to nothing to change it. Because it largely doesn’t exist. This means now that someone is actually cutting govt, we are finding out that it is needed.

During the campaigns in 2024 we kept hearing of maga leaving rallies early and trumps voters losing interest. And he won. Now we are being fed Trump voter regret. One story will be amplified across many platforms as if its many stories instead of one. Purpose. I don’t know.

Remember. When you protest against something, you also have to protest for something. Democrats need to offer a new vision for America. Mine: Free education/healthcare Free mass transit $40 an hr min wage Funded pbs/npr

China is only powerful because American corporations buy their stuff from there. Chinas economy would collapse if we went to war. China knows this. It’s what holds them back. Repubs are using them as a punching bag because they know China won’t fight back. It’s cheaper to sell spyware apps to us.

So we have doge which is a group that has no authority or accountability that can’t be stopped because no harm has been done. This is the current state of court rulings. And people wonder why there is no faith in our government.

Governor Polis is going to run for president. His vocals and stands on issues shows he is trying to play both sides. He will be resoundingly out early. The base of the Democratic party is moving away from his form of governance. The left needs to unapologetically stand up for their issues.

So we are finding out that this whole douche thing is a scam. They are using the government to shut down and fire people from someone who has no authority to do so. These are basically phishing emails to see who bites.

The reason why people say they don’t like liberals or such is almost always the same lie. That they are rude or call you names. Answer: yep, why can’t you take a joke?

Remember federal workers that are getting fired. Don’t hate on the Democrats or anyone else. Hate on your fellow workers who believe their job is more important that yours. They keep demanding an end to govt waste. They are openly maga govt workers.

I am by far no expert. It looks like the landing gear failed on the jet that crashed in Toronto.

Every DOE personnel should all demand a 20% raise if they get re-hired.

People need to understand where modern republicans came from. Eisenhower is the cause of the modern party. He campaigned like heck against The New Deal. Saying it was bloated and wasteful. Then when he gets elected he sees how great it is and creates the interstate system and the St Lawrence seaway

The reason we have to abandon maga is because of never trumper republicans. None have had the contrition that they spent the last 50 years creating Trump. They still think he is an aberration and the Republican Party is viable. None of their policies worked. They need to face this.

Irony. Govt isn’t here as much for the left as it is for the right. It’s there to keep rural America viable as a part of our country otherwise no one could live there. This means that if you want to seriously cut programs, it will have to fall on rural America. From welfare to roads, it’s a lot.

When the right starts to protest, the left will have to resist compromise. Farmers will drive tractors on the capitol and then ask for the same policies that got us into this mess. They need to be held to account for their ignorance. They can have input when the answer yes to voting for a Democrat.

If Democrats want to show they are serious if they get into power, the need to strip Reagan’s name from National airport. Put it back to its original name.

Asking maga to give up on Trump is like asking a Christian to give up on god. Or a Muslim to give up on Allah. Or a Jew to give up on Yahweh. Or a Hindu to give up on Ganesh. Or or or or

Press the gas. Bannon promised Musk would be out by the inauguration. Didn’t happen. Make fun of him. Deportations aren’t happening. Make fun of Trump. Musk said 2 trillion, then 1.5, then less than 1, then 1 over 10 years. Make fun of him. Elected democrats need to make fun and press the gas.

FDR was so successful because he threaded the needle between fascism and socialism. If the downturn comes to pass, for America’s success, we need another leader who will tell the rich to go take a hike and focus on the needs of the people.

Marco Rubio showed the slight of brain manipulation of the rubes today. When asked about free speech prior to the nazis (which existed), he responded with there was no free speech during the nazis. This is the type of stupidity you have to watch out for.

Marco Rubio is the example of the central problem of the senate. He was voting in on a 99-0 vote for Secretary of State. Not because he has talent, brains, experience, or ability (you know, merit), it’s because he is friends with the rest of the senators.

If you want to see how well tax cuts work for the average American, look no further than the elderly. They have discounts and tax cuts all over the place. They have property tax discounts, and even exemptions. And a lot more. Yet many live in poverty. Tax cuts will never achieve what a raise will.

The next Democratic presidential candidate needs to answer a simple question with “no” That question is “would you hire a Republican for your administration.” There is no job in the government that can’t be done better by a Democrat at the cabinet level at least.

West Virginia may be an opening for Democrats. The state is beholden to coal. Senator Robert Byrd tried to ameliorate this my moving hundreds of boy thousands of departments and offices to West Virginia as a competition to coal. This state will be hit hard by president Musks actions.

Government workers who are being fired and will need a job to survive especially when there may not be a safety net. Don’t worry, they will have jobs. The Chinese are more than happy make a front company that can exploit their knowledge of American government operations.

We have discovered why there are 150 yr old social security recipients. Because the rich refused to pay taxes to update the system from the 1960’s COBOL and into the modern age. I don’t want to hear sob stories when your check doesn’t arrive. I want to hear the answer to “will you vote for Dems?

Elected Democrats need an argument for when the right wing FAFO gets serious and they start protesting. The media will give them the narrative. An answer could be asking a question. “Will they vote democratic?, if they wont, they are not serious” Republican policies got us here. Abandon them.

Remember, one of the reasons Wall Street is so stupid is because it will reward a business in the stock market for firing 10,000 employees. Then turn around a month later and hurt the stock market because unemployment went up.

Basic political philosophies in the United States. Right: we want all the trappings of big government, but don’t want to pay for it. Left: we want all the trappings of big government, but everyone needs to pay for it.

We need a 3 strikes and your out law for corporations and billionaires regarding the legal system. SLAPP lawsuits are a problem because they have endless resources to abuse the legal system. If your argument or any adjacent argument fails 3 times, you lose. This would prevent abuse of the system.

When Trump says he knows nothing about it or never heard of the person, he knows everything and orchestrates it.

I’ve been struggling with protesting. One side is I don’t want to be used as an excuse for martial law. The other side is they need to know we aren’t taking this malarkey. The key I believe is that the Democrats need to have your back. And that begins with voting no on EVERYTHING! United dissent

One of Governor Newsom’s first tests of his presidential ambitions is coming within 5 months. When there is no water for the crops in the Central Valley, how will he make Trump responsible by pointing out that Trump drained the reservoirs of water in January?

It’s time for the Democratic Party to be true to themselves. We have the plan and we know what to do. When we tell the plan, people will spout back decades of right wing taking points. Stand firm, these are the ideas that work and here’s the proof. It will take time.

This country will be ready to transform when one idea is accepted as necessity. Tax the rich Across nearly all categories of voters is the lack of this one idea. Left to right almost no one thinks you can tax the rich. And that taxing the rich, void of evidence, is bad for the economy.

The Democratic Party was looking for life in 2016. And the base wanted Bernie. The base wanted someone to speak for them, and there is AOC. Jim Himes CT still impresses me. He has the calm gravitas of Obama and the fire of AOC. I’m glad they let him out of the cage tonight. I argue this is the man

Not bad for Musk. Spends 250 million to buy a president, now gets 400 million back in a state dept contract. That’s 3125 cybertrucks that are useless in most of the world. So I guess also charging stations. This will work out well.
