Now consider Project 2025 and those who say they know nothing about it like FG. Of course they do and he sure as hell does. It is what's coming for you. Pres. Biden will fix this.
Over 50 patients and staff are trapped on the roof of Unicoi County Hospital in Tennessee as water rises rapidly. Emergency crews are struggling to evacuate, and the National Guard is being deployed.

Hmmm, I decided to do some reading— just a light skim over headlines in my newsfeed. No wonder I've started to avoid the newsfeed. The headline was to the effect of FG being asked something about Mark Robinson and his porn problems and FG says he is not going to get in the middle of it.
I didn't open it and go any farther and it finally 'struck' me in part why. I'm sure the media does this quite purposely. Here is FG standing outside the glass double doors that go out into the use to be Rose Garden of the White House. First off — he hasn't been 'that' person for almost a whole other term which someone else has had and has been doing a fantastic job. Secondly, while the FG and or other guy was around, he was NOT a REAL president. He didn't know his A$$ from his hat and only used OUR house for what he could procure for himself. This has likely been in a corner of my mind for some time 'bugging' me. It just didn't fully register til' today. I do not enjoy anything having to do with the great Imposter and even more when reminded by seeing him posed in front a place he had absolutely no right to be.

It's been said that to wonder is to begin to understand. Wonder most definitely creates possibilities! Where's your sense of wonder? Have you gotten so bogged down in the minute-to minute "stuff" that life has become dull? Bring forth your curious, creative, sense of wonder and dust if off -- lighten up and wonder about everything! We are all amazing and awesome beings and our world is extraordinary even when days may be dark. A sense of wonder reminds us of just how vast the unknown is and how much we have to learn each day.

Still listening to some news with a jaundiced ear. Sort of looking at it like the media working pretty hard to keep FG in the game. Maybe not such a great time for some of them —trying to spin such damaged goods. I did hear some things from the Town Hall/Rally talks. FG was not keeping it together much at all. More un-connected (for the small part) gibberish. Still the election timewise is so close that I'm pretty sure media will keep it up.
Seemed Harris is up in all the poles save for one that is tied. You know it just is hard for me to make it real that she would not do well when I do hear it being admitted that FG isn't even trying and or is doing gibberish. Also, sounding like Vance doesn't know what is going on either. Went to a sandwich shop in PA and they turned him down on having a campaign stop there.
Those things (like stops) are arranged by your ground people in advance — so what happened there??? Anyway, Vance wandered the parking lot looking for people to talk too. Really!!! Just things like these make me wonder —JUST what is going on???? Harris is getting so many endorsements, and I think FG has only a few. She has more ground people, offices, endorsements, rally crowds, funds coming in, and the polls would seem to be reflecting in her favor. She is also competitive in states that were going to go to FG, but there are question marks there too.
I guess it is too much to ask for the media to be a bit more honest because if they were honest, where could they generate enough interest in people to tune in. I do think in reality that keeping up the work is a good thing, and I hope it means that there might be something closer to that landslide. Certainly hoping enough to quell most thoughts that there was 'fraud' from our side.
Looking forward to Tues. night when Vance and Walz have their debate. The moderators have already said they are NOT going to fact-check but will leave it to the candidates to fact-check each other. That is not really what they should have to do, but this is now — with the un-ending S*** Show from FG, Vance and the Reps. and so things will not be standard. 9 yrs. I'm Sooooo Ready for big change and starting with Harris and WALZ.

I think it’s wrong they will not fact check the VP debate.
I read a few stories about the PA sandwich shop just east of Pittsburgh and Vance. You’re right, Jackie, it sounds like his advance team screwed things up but it makes you wonder if they do that because they get more publicity that way.
Interestingly, dh and I were in Pittsburgh yesterday. We met up with ds and went to the Strip District, a popular shopping spot filled with lots of small stores, ethnic groceries, restaurants, and sidewalk vendors. It’s a small strip of land between the Allegheny River and a hill, hence the name. I recently got a Harris/Walz button that I pinned to my crossbody purse. I did not see a single other person wearing anything political, and this was blocks and blocks filled with Saturday shoppers out and about. We waited in line for a while to get some delicious coffee and pastries then sat at a table outside on the very busy sidewalk while enjoying the tastes, aromas and ambiance. I saw and heard nothing political. The only political interaction I had was when I was walking and a woman came up to me and asked if I was registered to vote. I said yes, and said, “this is who I’m voting for” and showed her my Harris/Walz button. She gave what I thought was a neutral laugh and moved on.

Marcellus Williams. An innocent man.
Apologies for the late post—it’s been one of those days. I’m getting ready for tonight’s episode of “Ask Mary Anything within Reason” at 6:00 p.m. ET. I know it’s late notice, but leave your questions in the comments and I’ll get to as many of them as I can. I hope you can join us—and if you come to the Mary Trump Media Channel, please subscribe!
“Pro-life” Republicans keep killing innocent people. Marcellus Williams, who was put to death last week by the state of Missouri, is their latest victim.
It is widely acknowledged that the state’s governor, Michael Parson, committed murder when he allowed the execution of Mr. Williams to proceed. It is widely acknowledged that the corrupt illegitimate super-majority on the Supreme Court is, at the very least, an accessory—although I would say they are equally complicit in the murder. It is also widely acknowledged that that’s just the way it is in American now and there’s just nothing to be done about it.
As Dahlia Lithwick and Mark Joseph Stern of Slate write, Williams “was almost certainly innocent, and his own prosecutors, as well as the family of his alleged victim, had sought to spare his life.” In addition, there was no physical evidence to link him to the crime scene, including DNA.
Despite all of this, Marcellus Williams was killed by lethal injection on Tuesday, not long after the Republican super-majority, partially engineered by Donald Trump, denied Williams’ request for a stay of execution. The three liberals on the court vehemently dissented.
Lithwick and Stern marvel at the degree to which the right-wing justices were “obsessed with due process and judicial review and the possibility of vindictive prosecution” when it came to Donald, but they gave no such consideration to Marcellus Williams.
“Indeed, these six justices’ extreme solicitude for [Donald] in last term’s appalling immunity decision stands in stark and alarming contrast with their bloodless, wordless dismissal of Williams’ final petition for relief,” Lithwick and Stern write, pointing out that there is far more evidence that Donald is guilty of inciting the Jan. 6th attack on our Capitol than there that Williams committed a murder. “Yet [Donald] evades even a trial on the merits, while Williams is sent to the death chamber.”
This, in the view of those who are wholly dedicated to twin objectives of perpetuating white privilege and the racist death penalty, is as it should be.
I have always been against the death penalty—because we so often kill innocent people, like Marcellus Williams; because the death penalty disproportionately impacts Black and poor Americans; and because killing another human being in the name of the state demeans all of us.
“It is now certain beyond any shadow of a doubt that the six justices of the conservative supermajority have constructed two classes of judicial relief: one that looks like them and shares their values, and another that garners no empathy, concern or even curiosity,” Lithwick and Stern wrote.
The good news is Democrats are beginning to fight back. This week, Vice President Kamala Harris called for ending the filibuster in order to restore the rights that were stolen from us when Roe was overturned.
The Senate Judiciary Committee held a hearing on the far-reaching consequences of that corrupt immunity ruling.
And Sen. Ron Wyden of Oregon on Thursday introduced a bill to reform the Supreme Court. Among other things, Wyden’s bill would add six justices.
It’s time. This court has lost its way. It is as cruel, uncaring, and un-American as the Republican Party which it now represents. It’s not just the death penalty, of course. The Republican Party no longer seems to value human life. We’re all expendable in the service of helping them prove a point.
From their indifference to gun deaths, especially from mass shootings at our children’s schools, to the unnecessary and avoidable deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans because of Donald’s malicious mishandling of COVID, they just don’t care.
In order to save an embryo, they are willing to allow women to die. In fact, women are dying even when the fetuses they carry are unviable. And to prove their moral superiority, they’ll even sacrifice the lives and bodies of girls impregnated through rape and incest.
In the view of the 12th century legal theorist Maimonides, "it is better and more satisfactory to acquit a thousand guilty persons than to put a single innocent one to death.” This principle, which has evolved over the centuries, is known in modern law as Blackstone’s Ratio which embodies the principal that, “It is better that ten guilty persons escape than that one innocent suffer.”
But not according to this Supreme Court. Not in America—not any more.

I have not wanted the death penalty for a long time. That said, in many cases it is likely well deserved, but I tend to be in agreement with Mary. If you have too many strikes against you, meaning you are pretty much not white and well off, you stand a high chance of getting railroaded. I presume the Innocence Project still works, but they can only take so many people.
I also have this thing about killing people because they killed someone. It is WRONG to murder people — legally or illegally. That said, I do think this continues to come up because we don't have REAL systems in place for a chance at decent rehabilitation or having a designed punishment that will be a deterrent. Even if that is life w/o parole. It's a difficult problem, but I think there could be some form of a happy medium.
Sounds like your day was a delight, Divine. Sort of nice to be in a MALL just full of people and no one bothering with politics. I think they are all worn out and likely were feeling a bit giddy and lighthearted to not have the 'ugly' shadow tagging along. I know I have felt better for keeping everything at a minimum. Of course, that said, so much of it is due to the media and their game playing. I got pretty much disgusted one day a while back and never lost the feeling. No longer over-exposed is good. I do miss a few things now, but for the most part anything important will be around long enough to get to me.
