When Biden chose to dignify Trump, a 34 time convicted felon, with a debate couldn’t have been a more delusional, wishful thinking, pivotal and significant mistake for the DNC and Biden insiders. I can’t be the only person that for years now, that holds their breath ever time Biden gives a speech, on the edge of my seat and praying the inevitable wouldn’t raise its head again, but it does and it did!

When Biden announced his “willingness” to debate Trump, I instantly questioned what “meds” he was on. And now, I suspect, it was the enablers on the inside that let him, if not prod him, to take on a debate while countless of us out here in America that have been in the nosebleed seats, in prayer we weren’t going to hear or see what was clearly showing in many respects.

And while the hopefulness of Biden to “do the right thing” and put Country first over personal interest and ego, leftwing feminist, opportunists, are gathering their “Million Woman March” flags and banners, showing comparative signs of the HRC Kool-aide lane days we came to know in 2016, and then - come to know anew an “America” we could never have imagined – arise. As if the early morning hours of November 9, 2016 weren’t enough, a clarion call, for news reporters, pundits and liberal media outlets to arise in those early morn hours and rewrite their copy, headlines and opening stories, because the country we thought we knew, had long left the station – with extreme prejudice! Yet, still in that oblivion that seems to be getting in the lane, there remains a significant degree of “ignorance” in the media, as to how and why it was that the MAGA train came to town and all the history it made along the way.

In that regard, I have long wondered what it was that brought about the MAGA machine and how did scholars and historians not see it coming. But how could we? Countless could never have known what was “underneath it all,” until the MAGA fields came to fruition and show their hand. And there it was.

I had many theories. In 2018 I moved back to California. For a side job and to get back on my feet, I worked as a passenger driver for Uber and Lyft. While in that employ, and primarily working the LA market, which was very diverse ethnically I came to learn much.

One of the routes I chose to drive back then that proved profitable, was from the Queen Mary, and the various Liberty Line Cruise ships that arrived in the morning from their 3 to 6 day round-trip cruises to Mexico. From that Long Beach port, I would deliver passengers to anyone of their destinations of LA, like Paramount, El Modena, Watts, Boyle Heights or LAX for ongoing destination routes. To say the least, a good many of my/those passengers were black. While in those passenger deliveries I would often chat it up with my passengers, who were more than eager to hear from a local driver, articulate voice. In late 2018 and early 2019, when discussing the 2016 election and the advent of the MAGA steam, overwhelmingly, many of those black riders would suggest that the rise of the Trump machine was the outcome of 8 years of Barack Obama in the White House. And more often than not, the same notion would recite itself again and again with black riders, and I took note.

Could it be, that the undercurrent that was on the rise, that none of us could have imagined, was indeed brewing in the hearts and minds of so many Americans, that the America we thought we knew, wasn’t quite “there,” wherever there was, but that a long developing, slow moving, toxic current was in the making. And that being the degree of contempt, frustration, push-back and intolerance the Obama’s 8 year term stirred in the conscious of so many Americans. And what is that? Perhaps, some degree of “Trans-Generational Trauma,” TGT. Trauma that may have been resting dormant in the deep crevices of many a conscience for countless decades, if not centuries.

It is conceivable that the Obama years significantly stirred the vulnerability that TGT could have manifested. And that the then current and post years reaction to the Obama years and the unconscious vulnerability that lie in waiting, finally found it’s way to manifest and renew itself in the more present minds of so many Americans that carried that prejudice, underneath it all, all those years ago. 150 years is not a long time in terms of the advancement of human values, conditions or mental state of mind. After all, it took how many years since the Civil War to the 1960s when, finally, civil rights measures were implemented – yet, not even that carried much weight in changing the “conscience” of America, considering what still goes on in this Country today. There are multitudes of various nuances of digression that suggests often, we have taken, in reality, so few steps at bringing about the social change the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement sought, and the Trump years showed exactly that, most poignantly.

It makes for a good argument that the Obama years triggered this TGT, and that brought to the surface the fact that what we thought one knew, however hubris, about America, was pure fiction and wishful thinking, as the Trump years proved. The MAGA movement and Trump himself proved to so many, hopefully, how wrong their thoughts and wishful ideals were, albeit “off the tracks,” a mere wishful dream lost in a real nightmare now at hand. And that now, left-wing Feminist, opportunist, are promoting the notion that Harris should carry the ticket, in acknowledgment that Biden's slump after the debate wasn’t an accident, besides a tragedy, the recent SCOTUS decision, likely, couldn’t have more made the circumstances more dire.

Those who suggest that Harris is an option to Biden, are on the same 2016 Kool-Aid that went around and the notion the “HRC ticket” was the right choice, notwithstanding similar ideals that brought about the “Million Woman March” to the “let’s get rid of the electoral college” delusional sentiments that arose in the aftermath Trumps election. Denialism seems to be on the rise again and appears to be persisting among the many liberals that should come to terms with the fact they were grossly negligent, which they wont, in their HRC choices back in 2016, in addition to suggesting Harris is the best Biden ticket replacement, you’re back on 2016 time and not in the present. Get real. The clock is unmercifully ticking. And the longer Biden fails to come to terms with his shortcomings and step away, the closer it seems Trump is going to reign again.

A DEBATE CON LE DIABLO
Did someone accidentally increase Biden's Vi**ra dosage? Joe aint no “Clint Eastwood.” Please. That Biden should dignify Trump, albeit validate him, an indicted, if not soon to be felon, with a debate is a mistake beyond the pale of pales I believe. Yet the media is frothing at the mouth with opportunity and absolutely blind to the fact Biden just isn't up to this task, under any circumstances. As if he wasn't already a substantial mistake for the Democrats in the first place. Nonetheless, Biden just doesn't have the mettle or maneuverability to deal with the level of sociopathic narcissism Trump’s mind is so native to. This is a train wreck waiting to happen, and the media can't be objective about it due to the ink this kind of mess will generate, not to mention the likely election dismissiveness it might inject among the already disappointed Dems holding their nose long enough.

This debate will more than likely prove how, where, when and why the rubber meets the road for a clarity and realization, long overdue. As well as the noticeable and enormous flaws Biden has in general, being as old as he is, notwithstanding the likelihood his mental shortcomings, albeit “bandwidth,” will be tasked far beyond his capacity to maneuver the clever and demonic antics a sociopathic narcissist like Trump can easily muster and execute.

It is a shame to some degree, that social media opportunist are taking advantage of the complicated geopolitical foreign policy issue with the US and Israel, and trying to brand a name for themselves. As if Occupy Wall Street didnt have and clear and distinct call to action for push back on Wall Street. Hardly the case. Bill Maher rings the bell for relevancy, purpose and BS when it needs to find its place off of the "no home" list.

When “activism” merges with narcissism, it becomes more about the person protesting than about the cause.

Will the “Real” Emily Kohrs - “Please stand up?”
February 22, 2023

Perhaps in anticipation of a massive cult following, shares and likes that TikTok, Twitter and Snaplap might spawn for this aspirational foreperson, Emily Kohrs, on the Georgia Investigative Grand Jury, weighs in. And now, the very state, Georgia, that has been on the leading and cutting edge of bringing justice to so many of the MAGA hats, who crossed the line years back, their state laws in allowing “grand jurors” to speak publicly of proceedings, save the guardrails, may be the perfect storm for MAGA storm troopers, if not “get out of jail card.”

Hence, perfect fodder, and cause, for defense litigant(s) later on at the appellate court water coolers, if not the mobile circling SCOTUS taco trucks that are going to clean up on this “perceivable” indiscretion of the GA statutes. All for not, or what, in Kohrs want of AW “15 minutes of fame.” When all is said and done, and while newly elected Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis likely reaches out to her best legal think tank, it may show to some that this premature “perceived” trophy of a case to participate in, at least with better discretion, could well lead to dimensions few could have imagined in years to come.

In her interview with CNN’s Maggie Haberman, Kohrs explains that she felt she wanted to be part of “our” democracy. Provide service for the mechanisms that make the US such a remarkable country. Yet, in the same breath, indicates – she didn’t vote in the 2020 election, and did CNN “edit out,” the fact she didn’t vote in 2016, or was she “too young?” If not “breast feeding” back then?

I've been watching this article comments over recent hours, PST, USA. They must have hit a 1000 within the first couple of hours. Then 3k. 5k. Now 10:45 EST. 6.3k. Some of them are written - by law professors, if not federal judges, one cant say. But I have read opinions by the court(s). And the articulation, wording, brilliant focus of context in these "comments," precise and well pitched, is not Joe at the Pizza Blow down the corner. This will be documented in history - to what is likely to become, come next Wednesday. Shame on Clarence Thomas for dragging our Supreme Court through the mud of Anarchy. He and his wife.

In an email sent Dec. 31, 2020, one lawyer argued that the Supreme Court justice would “end up being key" to asking the high court to overturn then-President-elect Joe Biden’s win in contested states.

One has to wonder, while #45 was watching in real time on smartphone apps, or ?, and watching FBI agents scurrying about his charmed estate, 1500 miles south of the big Apple, what were they "opening?" What door were they getting close to, that tripped Trump into a "glum," the rest of the day, until his statement that evening. All were watching. Even more curious, is "how much money," cash, rubles, gold, silver - did they find in the safe, and got a "snapshot." ??
