Yes, Joe Biden SHOULD HAVE pardoned Hunter. I TOTALLY support that decision. He didn’t lie. He changed his mind when facts changed—a monster got elected president who nominated a ghoul, Kash Patel, who’s obsessed with Hunter and vowed to destroy him. Only a monster father would fail to protect his son, knowing there was no longer going to be a rule of law.

I'm not sure HOW folks ARE NOT seeing the CEO compensations are so astronomical and the minimum wage is stagnant. What else do you need by way of evidence how they DO NOT CARE about working class.

We have been conned into admiring Big Money far too much. Greed has been legitimized.

People are so gullible.

Yes, many are gullible. Your average MAGAmerican certainly are. It will come as a real shock when they feel the effects of the dismantling of programs so many of them depend on - medicaid, food stamps, social security!

Homelessness will look different. Not the addicts or disabled we know about. It could hit hard and fast and take us by surprise. Americans won't cope well.

We have to message direct and bold shedding the light on the evil, vile, corrupt, vindictive, and selfish motives driving Trump and his cronies.

America is to be for We the People, Americans are to be the master not the servants. LIKE in a business, if a person does not do the job, they should be fired. Seeing how we hired Trump, which he turned to others, The Heritage, then they should be held accountable and fired.

Bottom line is many gave their lives for Americas Freedoms, to protect us from government becoming a Dick-tater tot ship. We do still have Rights and need to use them.

There are now three political groups in the country.....RED... BLUE....and, HUH?

Actually, Russian psyops handed the country to Trump. We primarily have a nationsl security problem. Biden needs to stand up, or we are goners. Once Trump is inaugurated, we are lost, and we will be reduced to guerrilla type actions because if Trump becomes the unitary executive due to an emergency, he will be a totalitarian dictator.

Some of us have had counterinsurgency training. and lived the experience of war. The model is China -- where the public is exposed to "1984" in their daily lives. Gulags for heretics. Use of mind altering drugs for political purposes

If we could only realize we out number these billionaires! We the people could accomplish so much more. This is so insane!

Unfortunately, they control the one thing that unites us: MONEY.

Unfortunate truth. Do they realize if they destroy the middle class, their income would go down? The big problem is greed. They have billions, but their lust for money never ends.

Actually....we could do a lot if everyone cut back. For instance I have stopped using Amazon since the election. Buy less... only what you need. A little here, a little there. It adds up.

I cannot bring myself to care about those that voted for Trump. I do feel badly for those who did not vote for him. It's no secret who Trump is and what he is about - a racist, lying, self serving, Putin, authoritarian loving narcissist.

I don't know where the poll is but Joe Biden is definitely justified in pardoning his son. He was relentlessly attacked and no evidence was found on his laptop except embarrassing pics that got spread around horribly. His crimes are nothing compared to people Trump has pardoned and MAGA will prosecute him forever if Biden didn't do this.

I can't find the poll either.

Are they doing this to create this sense of dismay? We must channel our energies to our Congress. How DARE these idiots shut out Democrats??

Expand full comment

Cannot find the poll, but I applaud President Biden for pardoning Hunter. He sited raw politics for one of his reasons and I fully agree with him. Likewise, I feel that President Biden should pardon Fauci, Cheney, Kinzinger, and everyone who has been threatened by trumpband his fellow maniacs.

How do the billionaires expect raising prices/costs make America richer, when the majority of the country cannot keep up with the rising prices?

Expand full comment

They don't. They just don't care. Period.

So basically, they’re in competition with each other. Maybe they’ll destroy each other!

Never in my life have I EVER seen someone's mother have to vouch for a governmental appointee. This guy must be a real piece of work. Has he grown up yet, or is he still 13 years old between the ear?

I'm worried for your safety. So grateful for your bravery. You challenge me to be more out there myself instead of keeping low-key and quiet. We are all now REALLY afraid of our government. The time to be out there and brave is NOW.

Expand full comment

I'm 100% in favor of the Hunter Biden pardon. Those people will never stop attacking this family, and Joe did what he had to do to protect them. Trump has told us for years that he's out for revenge, and with someone like that, you do what you have to do. I hope Biden now starts pardoning anyone who ever pissed trump off, because they're in danger too.

At some point, there is going to have to be a revolution in this country, to rise of and do what the French did, and the Russians did when they got rid if their KINGS. We now have oligarchy and kings of industry. At some point, we the people need to rise up and strip them of their wealth and power. period. There will never be a solution to our problems that are long lasting until they (the billionaires) no longer EXIST.

How to Stop Authoritarians Before They Start

🔸️FITNESS FOR DUTY EVALUATIONS that are mandatory, like the military for high responsibility positions, would have stopped Trump before he got within a mile of the White House.

Bandy X Lee, Steven Hassan, and 100 other psychiatrists agree Trump has five dangerous mental pathologies as listed in the books "The More Dangerous Case of Donald Trump" and "The Psychology Of Trump Contagion - An Existential Threat to American Democracy and All Humankind".

"Containing Trump Contagion and Healing from Mental Pathology in Politics"

https://youtu.be/HTkCqU5LM-k?si=f6g0PolglC21w1nR

🔸️Fitness for Duty Evaluations start with everyone who interacts with the individual in question, and when red flags start to appear, 'say something.'

The US Military has procedures to follow that require individuals in question to have a Fitness for Duty Evaluation. Voters must demand the House and Senate do the same.

"Stephen Xenakis- Fitness for Duty Exams: Preventing Autocratic Abuse"

https://youtu.be/vdtChF07ryU?si=VJ5dauWFoUQg10uH

🔸️Outside the military are professionals like Dr. Bandy X. Lee who has several dozen colleagues all of whom are highly qualified to do Fitness for Duty Evaluations.

The U.S. House and Senate have several mechanisms to enforce their rules, including:

* Leadership

* Committees

* Floor Procedures

* Party Discipline

It's important to note that these mechanisms are not always used consistently or effectively. The more voters demand mentally fit leaders the more the House and Senate will comply.

🔸️I like what forensic psychologist Dr. Bandy X. Lee says that fascism and authoritarianism are just dangerous mental pathologies that worm their way into politics.

Everyone on Earth deserves and demands leadership that is mentally fit.

Fitness for Duty Evaluations performed by well respected psychiatrists ensures every country has leaders who do not serve their own power, but serve their own people.

With a pool of mentally fit candidates, we then have all the elections we wish.

🔸️"Trump.. meets diagnostic criteria from the DSM-5 for five personality disorders! These are: 1) narcissistic; 2) antisocial; 3) psychopathic, which has more lack of remorse; 4) paranoid; and 5) grandiose and paranoid delusional disorders."

So, yes, both Biden and Harris would likely pass with flying colors any Fitness for Duty Evaluations
