This turned out to be one of the most prescient and important (and creepy) statements of the Trump presidency: from Chuck Schumer to Rachel Maddow - in early January, 2017, before Trump was even inaugurated: pic.twitter.com/TUaYkksILG

    Play this one over and over again. Pause. Think about it.

    From the Trumped up Russian Collusion 2 years waiting for 'Mueller Time'. Sad anticlimax... Awww we couldn't get rid of him. Then the CIA does it again defending all that is pure as they bust him for asking the Ukraine President to check into it. Feeling pressured Nancy Pelosi? Can you hold out against your young 'bucks' I mean sisters, who are tired of your 'old' ways? You best give in, if you want to continue to be Speaker of the House... 

     Let's go Impeachment Whoa-oa!!! (as in Ward Bond and Wagon Train) ..

    'What do you think they'll do?' says Rachel Maddow

    Did 'they', do that? 

    Trump played his part. 

   Tweeting about Lady Gaga the week of your election!? Sad.

   Not that anybody voting for you cared at that point. Including me. YMCA. 

   What a ride!

   And now Brennan and Clapper have the intelligence agencies on the right track, in the hands of the Clinton/Bush/Obama/Biden practical people of either party. Who will in their wisdom and decency defer to the greater wisdom of 'intelligence'. They don't have to tell us, the people, how they know. That's why we give them a black budget for how many years in a row (40? <just a wild guess>) 

   1947 to 2020 that would be 73 years and counting...! 

'This budget was approved by the US National Security Act of 1947, which created the Central Intelligence Agency, the National Security Council and reorganized some military bases with help of the Defense Department.'

   https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_budget

  The National Security Act of 1947 the price of our WWII victory, neutralizing endless enemies, in the dark, that this country created and one that still affects our Country and the World. It reminds me of my Dad, the minister, pacifist during WWII, who gave continual instruction to all who would listen. Warfare begets more warfare. The means creates the ends. etc.. he had the audacity to believe that Hitler could be defeated without weapons. Mercy, mercy! Yet of course you can see how the winds of Hatred are stirred up and once you have successfully demonized a person or a people then the bullets are ready to fly. The Good people of the USA and the Good people of Germany, just caught up in the emotion. 'Everybody knows' is not evidence. 

   Accentuate the Positive, eliminate the Negative... 'Ve shall eliminate the negative!' 

  From my perspective I'll try to keep my sunny side up, wish everyone the best, perhaps it couldn't have worked out in a better way. 

  I had a housemate years ago. A taciturn but straightforward young man. Who held to the opinion that 'gridlock' was a victory for the people, that neither side could in the name of the people, create the next intervention, the next great plan. Inherent its seemed in this 'contrarian' point of view was that there was some greater wisdom in allowing or even encouraging people to find the solutions in ourselves, in our local choices in our communities. I like that basic principal. That is not to say that government is to be disdained or degraded, it just needs to be kept in some sort of check and when the next big thing comes along make sure it has input from all sides of the political spectrum.    

      

Is anyone archiving these Trump sycophants for when they try to downplay or deny their complicity in the future? I foresee decent probability of many deleted Tweets, writings, photos in the future

     Ah yes Ms. AOC that's why we have black budgets it is all being archived, by those who by your practical nature you will likely embrace as your partners in the near future. Only the guilty need to be afraid, that is the familiar refrain over American history as we, 'trample the constitution' to rid ourselves of those who 'trample the constitution'. Ms Robespierre the guillotine is ready. (or Maybe you are not Ms. Robespierre maybe you will learn something about this country that goes beyond your current understanding, I am open to that.)

    I am hopeful of a resurgent America a redefined Republican Party whether it is a Republican Party or the Tree Party. A party to carry on principals of 'life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness', a party where as JFK once stated Race has no part in Government, Freedom of Speech is protected, where Immigration is acknowledged as a privilege not a Right. That Personal Responsibility is the key to a revolution in turning the corner towards a Sustainable and Thriving Planet, where the needs of protecting EcoSystems are accepted as our Human Mission.  Where everyone has a home, and where we can live free from violence and coercion. Where the Black Budget is abolished and the light of day no matter who it might upset is welcome. 

      I dream of, a major sweep in 2022 lifting Tree Party candidates into office in every community in America.

      If the People exercise their Power, then the people have the Power. If you look to others to exercise your Power then you remain subservient. Somehow we are all in this together. The new Rainbow Coalition includes Deplorables too. 

Creativity, Good Will, WillPower itself. This is the best of this tribe called America. A sea-change, a transformation, a turning of the world inside out is on the menu. There's some major prep work in the kitchen over the next few years.
