Cyrano's JournalA short era of insanity? Or our future?
Yeah, if you're sane and capable of rational thought, we're currently living in "interesting times." (Living in "interesting times" is supposedly a Chinese curse.)
A mentally disturbed, dangerous man is running for president again and may "win"/steal it. And this "race" is supposedly to close to call.
Who knew there were tens of millions of Americans who are either ignorant enough, or stupid enough, to vote for the end of our Constitution, and the end of all of our freedoms and our way of life?
No one knows what's going to happen on election day. But whatever happens will determine whether we're going to be living in a democracy, or, (and I'm absolutely certain of this), Hitler's Germany 2.0.
Isn't it obvious that Trump's "deportation camps" will become death camps. And not only for so-called "illegal immigrants." There's no place to deport all the "THEMs," so they'll end up in some modern mass-death shower room. Along with anyone else Trump and his regime/Reich want to put there.
Isn't it obvious that the Supreme Court that has enabled Trump will become as irrelevant as the congress if the madman is in the White House and having his strings pulled by the creators of Project 2025? (Project 2025 is a blueprint that any would-be "King-of-the-World" would envy.) Isn't it incredible that six of the nine Justices don't understand or foresee this?
That's one scenario. The other is that Kamala wins and has to then deal with the remnants of the Trumpism disease. It won't go away overnight. And whether or not Dems control both houses of congress will be important. Republicans in control of either the House or the Senate will drastically slow down the "de-Trumping" of America.
So will the insanity be voted away in November? Or will we all be deported into a parallel universe? It's really up to each and every sane person in America to vote in such overwhelming numbers that it can't be stolen. And not just for the presidency. Today's Republican Party has to go. And hopefully, the sane remnants of that Party will come together to form a true opposition that is essential to any democracy.
Living in these "interesting times" is stressful. In a little over six weeks, we'll know which fork in the road of life we've taken.
Are Trump and Vance crying fire in a crowded theater?
Regarding their lies about Springfield, Ohio, it seems to me they are creating an extremely hazardous environment. And if one or more people end up dead because of it, wouldn't they both be guilty of manslaughter at a minimum?
J.D. Vance has admitted he'd make up whatever is necessary. So he's all but telling us that he's yelling fire, although he's fully aware there is no fire.
This seems to be an issue for you lawyers out there. Is it legal for Trump and Vance to continue to create a potentially deadly situation? And at a minimum, can't a restraining order be put on them?
I won't accept a Trump "win."
Were he to actually “win” the Electoral College, it would be entirely due to Republican voter suppression.
From intimidation at the polls, to “cleansed” voter lists, to incorrect dates on mail-in ballots, to “lost” ballots, to questionable voting machines, there’s no way it could be acknowledged as a fair and honest election. Countless thousands of voters in swing states would either be prevented from voting, or not having their votes counted. And lack of a few thousand votes in specific places can make all the difference.
There is no way Trump can win this race without Republicans in control of swing states putting a heavy hand on the scale. I therefore will not accept a Trump “win.” Will the country at large hold the same view? And if so, what’s to be done about it?
An explanation of undecided voters.
Many undecided voters have been shown to us on various TV interviews. After watching the debate, many of them said something like, "I still want to know more about Kamala Harris." The implication that they may still vote for Trump is mind boggling after his demonstration of his mental unfitness.
Then, I realized that these undecided voters were perfectly described by Gene Wilder in the movie "Blazing Saddles." It was a scene in which Wilder was explaining to the new Sheriff, Cleavon Little, why the townspeople hated him because he was black. It seemed to me that his explanation fit some/many? of the undecided.
(The link is long, but it's a 20 second scene clip.)

How to end mass murder in schools and elsewhere
"Thoughts and prayers" are a politician's excuse to do nothing.
Getting rid of (almost) all the guns will end mass shootings in schools and elsewhere.
That's the solution.
It's the only solution.
I know many (most?) of you, and most Americans, don't agree.
So tell me the thousands of reasons I'm wrong.
Why was it so easy for Trump to break America?
We were ripe for it.
Our news outlets had become more interested in profits than journalism.
Obama's eight years in the White House had made us Dems complacent.
The "online era" was unforeseen, underestimated, and changed what had always been considered "normal."
Republicans spent decades building a propaganda Goliath. We Dems did nothing to counter it.
A fanatical fringe has always existed in America. We Dems believed it was okay to ignore them.
No one expected a presidential candidate to lie to them with every breath.
Hate and fear are powerful motivators. They were used to divide us.
Few believed that so many would buy obvious snake oil in this "modern" age.
No one believed that one of America's two major parties would fall in line behind a malignant buffoon.
And perhaps most importantly, we believed in the basic decency of most human beings. Republicans didn't.
I believe Kamala understands all of this and is well prepared to break the fever and bring us into a brighter future.
Pelosi: "There's a domestic enemy in the White House."
In a newly released video shot by her daughter during the January 6th riot, Nancy Pelosi called Trump a domestic enemy.
She was exactly right.
Now, this domestic enemy is once again running for president.
WTF is wrong with this country?
Here's why Trump spoke of "fleeing America" if he loses.
During his "interview with Elon Musk, he mentioned that if he lost, he'd flee to Venezuela because it would be "safer" for him there.
He'd probably flee to Moscow. But of much greater importance is that this is, by far, the most revealing exercise in projection that he has ever uttered. He always accuses others (mostly Dems) of doing exactly what it is that he himself is doing or planning to do.
His statement that he would be "safer" if he flees, reveals what he has in mind for his enemies if he wins. And it's not jail. It's straight out of the "presidential immunity" Supreme Court ruling, and the Project 2025 playbook. If he ends up in power again, I have no doubt that he will order the assassination of his political opponents, anyone who has ever "betrayed" him or pissed him off, and virtually any and all other Americans who dare to speak out against him.
(Note: There's no link. This is my own personal opinion of how crazed he is and one of the first things he'll do if he regains power.)
Based on everything he's revealed of himself to us over the past nine years, I fully believe that America would see death camps on a scale matched only by Germany during the Third Reich, or Russia during Stalin's reign.
Many here may think this sounds like I've been smoking too much weed. I haven't.
Disagree if you will. But as certain I am of his intentions, I'm just as certain that Kamala is going to win this November in a total blowout. The upcoming election will mark the beginning of the end for Trumpism, MAGAs, and Republican insanity. It will take a while, but eventually, we'll see a sane opposition party come into being. But this era will always stand out as a moment of immense danger in American history.
Your reign of terror is over, Donald.
In 2015, you rode down your golden escalator and a dark cloud descended on America. Armed with nothing but hate, fear and lies, you took the joy out of life for countless millions.
Now, after nine long years, America, and the rest of the world, are watching you shrivel. You never wanted to be President. You wanted to be King. And, up until a couple of weeks ago, you thought the throne was within your reach.
Well, Donald, the only throne you're going to be sitting on is that one in Mar-a-Lago, surrounded by all those boxes of highly classified documents you stole when you left the White House.
You"re crouching in fear of an outstanding woman, now joined by a decent man from the heartland, who have brought back to America the joy you took away.
You're going to lose big, this November. And no matter what you try to do to steal it away from her, it won't work. America is on to you, your tactics and your thugs.
After the election is over, you're going to be spending a lot of time in court rooms, and wondering whether you'll spend the rest of your life in jail. So you'll still be in the news, but not in the way you had planned.
You've spent your life caring about no one but yourself. And now that you're closer to the end than the beginning, no one really gives a damn what happens to you. And you're going to end up in the history books as a dangerous, ignorant buffoon who brought nothing to the world but misery and evil.
Too bad you can't go back up that golden escalator that brought you here, Donald. You've never shown sympathy or empathy for anyone in your entire life. And now you can reap what you have sown.
Rachel's warning
Last week, and again last night, Rachel reported that Trump and the MAGAs are not counting on winning the presidency. They are focused on stealing it.
In many states, the positions of electors, (the people who certify votes in each county of a state), are now filled by MAGAs. If Harris/Walz win, these electors will not certify them, which will throw the election into chaos in many states. Theoretically, thie election could end up being decided by the congress, or the courts. And if the courts get involved, you just know it will end up in the SCOTUS. We saw a Supreme Court appoint a president in 2000, (George W. Bush), by stopping the vote recount in Florida. Do you really have to guess what our current Supreme Court would do?
Democrats are aware of this, but it must become general knowledge. Everyone needs to know what they're up to. Widespread knowledge will help stop their plan.
I believe that Kamala Harris and Tim Walz are going to win this election in a blowout. And a Democratic House and Senate will ride to power along with them.
But stay aware, and tell everyone you know, about the Republican plot to steal this election. Widespread public awareness is a powerful weapon that can be used to stop them.
