What an horrific display of anti-democracy and anti-Americanism by the GOP at the SOTU!

How anyone of any political stripe watch that GOP behavior and continue to support and vote for most Republicans is beyond me.

I believe Nancy would have taken a few Dems acting like that to her private wood shed (even to Trump).

Wouldn't it be nice to see a few switches from GOP to Dem as a result? House or Senate is ok with me but certainly a few from the House is in order. They have perfect cover now. (Dreaming on.)

I was so proud of Joe Biden, our President, and the way he handled those cretins.

Tom Fitton Joseph Goebbles. The insurrection was starting back in July of 2020.

We are moving right along with McCarthy at the helm in the House. Name your historical characters among the GOP House members.

Being of mixed race and part of a totally ethnically mixed family, I have become obsessed with

viewing every WWII documentary or docudrama I can find.

I had to stop watching the news, even on MSNBC. Listening to the news every night and day only confirmed in my mind how this country is spiraling down the abyss that swallowed Germany during WWII under Hitler. Just finished Spielberg's The Last Days.

Many here and elsewhere we say I am over reacting and spewing conspiracy theories. It can't happen here but it is already happening if you understand what is before your very eyes and ears. My fear, as well as the fear of many POC are real and deep. Recent killings of blacks by police only heighten fears. It's the little ways it begins...more auto rages, more mass shootings, more and more guns, government in the hands of insurrectionists, price fixing and gouging. You must study history to understand what gives rise to underlying fears of many...unspoken, deep but real fears.

The media is following the 1940 script almost to every dot and tittle. They are not warning, they are not exposing, they are complying.

I used to post "stay woke" Now I want people to WAKE THE FUCK UP!!

Omar: Good floor speech. Anti-Semitic insurrectionists still on FR Committee never apologized for

their anti-Semitism or their support for insurrection. Remember the GOPers who vote for this nasty move and vote them out!

ok, so for an afternoon away from the news, the shootings, the gouging I spent about two hours

listening to XM radio: Siriously Sinatra. Wow. It really felt good listening to really good music by fantastic artists.

When love was lovelier, and happy was happier. Streisand, Hartman, Fitzgerald, Mathis, Armstrong, Sammy Davis, Lawrence, Peggy Lee, etc. Just so refreshing. Promised myself to listen more everyday. Why did we ever let this music go?

Well, it looks like complaints about the rising costs of Hellman's Mayo is taking hold

if not in the US, across the globe.

I was way ahead of my time back in the late nineties complaining about the smaller jars and rising prices. Same goes for Kraft miracle Whip. Stopped making my Philly potato salad because of Miracle Whip prices. Don't even miss it. Learned to do without a lot of stuff during and after the pandemic. The gougers can take their shit and stuff it!
