Assuming we have elections this year and assuming if the orange-faced-clown loses, he'll actually step down.

~ rigged redistricting favors Rep
~ rigged computer voting booths favors Rep
~ scrubbed voter rolls favors Rep
~ insufficient facilities with mega-long lines in predominantly Dem districts - favors Rep
~antiquated anti-democratic electoral college system - favors Rep
~ creepy af uncle-Joe with his handsy montages and his absolutely vapid talking points - favors Rep

I have watched 40 years of corruption, propaganda, war mongering, oligarchs rising to power, curtailing of civil liberties, political appointments in SCOTUS, transnational corps with more rights than citizens, private prions, brown water in Flint - and the DNC taking over the Democratic party has relegated us to the U of Chicago economic theories and Wall St Hawks as our only hope for a non-Rep.

And - the Rep of today are not the moderates, hell, I never thought I'd be psyched for Ike to return from the dead.

Rep of today are a horrid mix of xenophobic, religious fundamentalist, Ayn Rand, anti-New-Deal, racists, ignorant extremists.

So this is what I'm going to do in November - one last time, I will hold my nose and voter for evil the lesser of two of them. And then I'm out of the Dem party forever or until the DNC is replaced.

It's time now, while there is a Bernie and AOC and others - to form a real 3rd party that speaks truth to power, that is educated and reasomable and for justice and more fair and egalitarian world that will face the climate crisis and stop putting corporate interests over human interests.

The DNC will scream bloody murder that all of us leftist progressives have doomed us to 100 years of Rep rule. Well, I've lived through Reagan 8 years Bush and Bush Jr 12 years and now the orange-faced-clown fraud and Il Duce 2.0 so what exactly are you doing for me with your Mondales, and Hilary's and Kerrys and such? Obama, sure sure - nice guy, read a book in his life - comports himself with dignity. but his policies? Bill Clinton repealed Glass Steagle and rammed in Nafta and Gatt.

I'm done.

But here's the strategic side of my decision - not the emotinal side Right now, the DNC relies on genuine progressives nd leftists to always vote for their corrupt af candidate. They don't really morph the platform toward the left. They know we'll despise a Bush or Trump so much that will hold our nses. They have zero incentive to accommodate anything.

But, if there was a new 3rd party with say 17% of the voters - 15% of which were former Dems - now - we have our own debates our own media coverage we force certain issues and FACTS yes FACTS - to stay in the front and center. We challenge endless war and gross inequities right up til election day NOW - if the Dems want to win ever again, they HAVE to shift their platform some of the way and share some of the power. Something they don't have to do now.

In time, congress and municipalities will become populated with representatives from this new 3rd party. See Jesse and Nader were too fringe and the Dems still had labor and such. But this is a new world order. And make no mistake - Zuckerberg and Bezos and Gates and Koch Bros and Sinclair and Clear Channels - it's not 1980 anymore and surely not the 60's or 70's... And short of total civil unrest and bloody streets - this is the only path to reform and to reign in the excesses.

That we have an utter lack of competence - basic competence in govt - SCOTUS is had Clarence Thomas and Kavanaugh are you telling me these are great legal minds and deep thinkers? Give me a break.

I challenge a one of you - to point to an empire in recorded history that survived? Or saw its own demise. The players today don't operate in national boundaries, that's just part of the propaganda to manipulate the masses.

So you can debate the nuances of policy wonks and NYT times and whatever rag you think matters - but no one is inspired by creepy uncle Joe - no one is follinig him in to a burning building - he's a career DC bureaucrat who skewered Anita Hill, voted for all the worst sh** and his greatest cliam to fame is he worked for Obama?

Shame on Warren for her thin progressive credentials - for not caring enough about what was good for people and backing Bernie. And shame on Kamal and Booker who stand for nothing but political expediency and fake straw man mayor Pete who was a plant all along.

We are a banana republic with a massive economy and nukes.

American excetionalism still permeates despite the fact that the work force is worse than in 1968 and everything is toxic. Mass distraction with celebrity culture - saddled with debt, and still thinking anything govt run is a bad idea.

How can cradle to grave health-care not be the 1 unifying demand of all people in every demographic? We all have health and have families and friends with health. How is that even a debate? No need for profit or private insurance. EVeryone gets everything for free forever. EVery test, every surgery every medicine.

Can't afford it? Really? How bout we slash the militry budge by 2/3 and eliminate the black budget and no more subsidies for corps and all have to pay real taxes and can't stash the revenue in Ireland or wherever off-shore or lose their corporate charters and can't do buinss in the USA?

We can afford whatever we want. it's about not obfuscating the public and Joe 6 pack and divide an conquer.

Can you imagine Black or Latin or Muslim American citizens all born here - with automatic weapons in a state building? You think that would fly? GTFO

It's time to stop thinking there is some normal that has always been and will always be. That the Phillies will be there on opening day - that's it reasonble for a ballplayer to make 400mil or a basketball player of average sills to make 10mil a year. Or a CEO or anyone to be worth 100billion or 100 million.

That's not reasonable. That's not sustainable.

And that in this moment of fear and chaos and confusion - it's already being turned in to feel good narratives - f'n Mcdonalds with a warm and fuzzy campaign with a warm glowing golden arches to make us feel like it will all be ok, nostaglic for the America that never was and have a big mac and fries nd coke and a smile.

So - yes. I'll vote for creepy uncle Joe and his DNC masters - just for the hope that the plague of 45 and liar, fraud, clown, psychopath. opportunist - can be shed from the white house - but this is the last time I'll ever play this game this way.

Where all that is valid, I think the disinfectant and light inside your body was the bridge too far. His advisors just put that up while pointing and said are you stupid and then they looped it say you look stupid.

The leader of the most prominent group in the US peddling potentially lethal industrial bleach as a “miracle cure” for coronavirus wrote to Donald Trump at the White House this week. In his letter, Mark Grenon told Trump that chlorine dioxide – a powerful bleach used in industrial processes such as textile manufacturing that can have fatal side-effects when drunk – is “a wonderful detox that can kill 99% of the pathogens in the body”. He added that it “can rid the body of Covid-19”.

A few days after Grenon dispatched his letter, Trump went on national TV at his daily coronavirus briefing at the White House on Thursday and promoted the idea that disinfectant could be used as a treatment for the virus. To the astonishment of medical experts, the US president said that disinfectant “knocks it out in a minute. One minute!”

Grenon styles himself as “archbishop” of Genesis II – a Florida-based outfit that claims to be a church but which in fact is the largest producer and distributor of chlorine dioxide bleach as a “miracle cure” in the US. He brands the chemical as MMS, “miracle mineral solution”, and claims fraudulently that it can cure 99% of all illnesses including cancer, malaria, HIV/Aids as well as autism.

Since the start of the pandemic, Genesis II has been marketing MMS as a cure to coronavirus. It advises users, including children, to mix three to six drops of bleach in water and drink it.

In his weekly televised radio show, posted online on Sunday, Grenon read out the letter he wrote to Trump. He said it began: “Dear Mr President, I am praying you read this letter and intervene.”


Crowd sourcing the federal response to COVID-19.

I would be pretty surprised if Trump actually reads his mail.

the new thing is that ACTUALLY Trump was referencing these highly important medical procedures that respiratory therapists know about and you're just too stupid to know he was doing this

but ALSO he was being sarcastic

and ALSO you didn't actually hear what you heard

WH officials discuss HHS secretary replacement following criticism of pandemic response: WSJ

That jackass has supported every stupid thing Trump has said and was hardcore on the hydroxychloroquine, so it only makes sense that there's going to be a scapegoat for this. I mean don't get me wrong they could do to pile a s*** but, it's just typical Trump
