Di, how great to see you. Yes, the Depends just don't cut it for the orange thing. I am wondering how many ( I have read a couple of Reps. comments ) just how enamored a number of his followers are going to be. The outing in SC did not sit well with them and I think as well along with 1/6 they are not so keen on these so-called 'audits' either. Only time will tell since we get lop-sided views often from the media although I am happy that the "speech" was not well carried. Perhaps many have learned their lesson and will keep some distance. There will always be someone covering it, but we won't be treated to it on the 24 hr. basis any more. The orange one is over and nearly done for and I think one of the best ways to tell is that he gets way less ( scant really ) play now. Suits me fine. Just getting enough to know what he is up to or how the SDNY situation is coming along is pretty much enough.

We are all waiting. It is to me quite a fitting end to the person who has never been made to be accountable for one thing much in his life. I was always told if you want to dance, you have to pay the fiddler and I am waiting with baited breath because it is so long past time.

Another thing that makes orange
blob,blimp,bloatedwindbagdoofus less relevant is that as a country, we are pulling out of the pandemic. People, places and things are now available to us that had previously been on hold for over a year. Vacations, concerts, sporting events, graduations and ensuing parties, visits to grandma and grandpa...the list is unlimited. These activities and rites of passage are diverting attention away from the stale rhetoric of a failed presidency—-one that the maga folks flocked to for lack of other things to do because of a pandemic and coronavirus run rampant due to the very idiot they worship!My county recorded only 28 active Covid cases in the last week. Zero hospitalizations. This is one week after the mask mandate was lifted. The highest count here was mid-December when it reached about 2500 active cases. We are getting somewhere in all of this! I thank the ever loving stars above that Joe Biden had a plan to roll out the vaccine at warp speed. I realize on some levels we cannot let our guard down when it comes to former guy and the Republican
manifestoagenda. But as we keep our eye on their oppressive challenges, our lives are Moving Forward and we are able to move about more freely and outwardly and create new normals as we add what we’ve learned in the past year to what we already knew. The former guy becomes less relevant as he continues to stay stuck in the muck and mire of yesterday.0 -
How could I feel so miserable in the midst of such splendor? The question flashed through me all at once, not waiting for words to express it. The answer came more slowly: No one makes you angry. Anger, like love, is something you choose. Stunned, I sat down in the middle of the field I'd been walking through. I knew I needed to look within myself, let go of my anger and have a quiet talk with God. -Susan L. Taylor
Angry people are insecure people. Anger becomes a face-saving device to cover up deficiencies of another sort. Don't be fooled by the domineering character of an angry person. Know that during moments of anger there dwells a poor self-image. -Shantidasa Angry people are in-secure people. Anger becomes a face-saving device to cover up deficiencies of another short. Don't be fooled by the dominating character of anger. Know that during moments of anger there dwells a poor self image. Shantedasa

Just love how the Senate GOP perpetuated suppression of female salaries yet again. What is they are so afraid of? Makes me sick.

After Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) announced this weekend that he would not support either the For the People voting act or an attempt to break the filibuster for a voting measure, but would work to get bipartisan agreement on the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, today Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell pulled the rug out from under him.
McConnell said today that restoring the provisions of the 1965 Voting Rights Act that protect minority voting would give too much power to the federal government and that such protection was unnecessary anyway. "The Supreme Court concluded that conditions that existed in 1965 no longer existed," McConnell said. "So there's no threat to the voting rights law. It's against the law to discriminate in voting on the basis of race already. And so I think it's unnecessary."
To say there is no threat to the voting rights law is delusional. The reality is that In 2013, within 24 hours of the Supreme Court's Shelby County v. Holder decision ending the Justice Department's oversight of certain states' voting requirements, Texas enacted a strict voter ID law. Other states quickly followed suit. And now, in the wake of the 2020 election, Republican-dominated state legislatures across the country are drastically curtailing voting access.
Today, more than 300 "advocacy, civic, faith and labor groups representing nearly 2.5 million Americans from 43 states and the District of Columbia" asked the president and vice president to fight for the For the People Act. "[F]air representation and voter access in America are under direct attack," the letter read. "We are extremely worried about the very survival of our democracy. We ask that you place the urgent passage of this bill at the top of your administration's agenda."
This afternoon, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said that the Senate will still vote on the For the People Act, as scheduled, in late June. He says he is open to changes to the measure if they will help get Manchin on board. But he is going to force senators to go on record for or against voting rights.
Gone are the days when McConnell could protect his caucus from unpopular votes simply by refusing to bring anything to a vote. Republicans have had to vote on the bipartisan, independent January 6 commission, which was popular, and voted to go before the country as a party protecting insurrection. Now they will have to take a stand on other popular measures like voting rights and, if the Senate breaks up the bill, getting big money out of politics, which is even more popular, and so on.
Today, Republicans filibustered a measure designed to prohibit discrimination in pay based on sex. The bill would have limited pay differentials to things like education, training, and experience, and would have prohibited employers from retaliating against workers who compared their salaries. Blaming the Democrats for advancing what he calls "partisan" bills, McConnell pointed to the equal pay act as a sign that the "era of bipartisanship is over."
In fact, we had an illustration of what "bipartisanship" means in today's Senate when the Senate Rules and Administration and the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committees that investigated the January 6 insurrection today produced a bipartisan report on the events of that day. Homeland Security and Government Affairs Committee chair Gary Peters (D-MI) told reporters: "There were significant, widespread and unacceptable breakdowns in the intelligence gathering. . . . The failure to adequately assess the threat of violence on that day contributed significantly to the breach of the Capitol… The attack was, quite frankly, planned in plain sight."
To gain bipartisan support, the report focused on communications failures. It did not explore the roles of government officials, including former president Trump, in the January 6 crisis, and it did not use the word "insurrection" apart from quotations of witness testimony. The result was a curiously sanitized rendition of the events of January. Representative Ted Lieu (D-CA) commented: "January 6th didn't happen because there were security failures, it happened because there was a violent mob that attacked the Capitol, and we need to know why that happened."
McConnell's comment about the end of bipartisanship was a sweeping declaration that he would lead Republicans in opposing the Democratic program, and that includes the American Jobs Act, the extensive infrastructure bill that President Biden initially pegged at $2.3 trillion. Biden has been negotiating with Republicans, led by Senator Shelley Moore Capito of West Virginia, on the measure, but today called it quits after they refused to raise their offer more than $150 billion despite his offer to cut more than $1 trillion off his initial ask. Republicans blamed Biden for ending the talks.
Biden has not, in fact, ended the talks, though: he has handed them to a different group of lawmakers who have shown a willingness to work across the aisle. That group includes Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema (D-AZ), who might be persuaded to be more reliable Democratic votes if they have a bigger hand in the infrastructure bill. If this group does manage to hammer out a bipartisan infrastructure package, a vote on it could undercut McConnell's ability to hold his caucus in opposition to the Democrats.
The biggest sticking point in negotiations is that Democrats want to fund much of the American Jobs Act by increasing corporate taxes from the lows of the 2017 tax cuts (although not to the level they were before those cuts), while Republicans are adamant they will not sign on to any such increases.
The Republican position took a hit this morning, when ProPublica published an investigation based on leaked tax documents. It revealed that America's 25 richest people—some with more than $100 billion in wealth—pay remarkably little in federal income taxes…sometimes nothing. They can avoid taxes through various accounting methods, while ordinary Americans pay full fare.
Also this morning, Biden tweeted: "I'm working hard to find common ground with Republicans when it comes to the American Jobs Plan, but I refuse to raise taxes on Americans making under $400,000 a year to pay for it. It's long past time for the wealthy and corporations to pay their fair share."

This is a part of an ad that requests money at the end. Still, I thought it was something good to read and was afraid some pieces wouldn't open unless I put it in as was. I am though going to attempt to take out the plea for funds.
FIRST: columnist Marc Thiessen points out that slim margins in Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Georgia made 2020 an incredibly close election – and make Trump a viable candidate to run again in 2024. Just three states can make or break a presidency, no matter what the rest of the country thinks.
AND THEN: in those three states, he points out just 73,000 votes could have won Trump the presidency despite him losing the popular vote by 7 million ballots! No other country in the world has an election system as vulnerable to massive splits like ours.
That's why the Editorial Board came to the same conclusion that we have:

One of the things we must develop is a capacity for exploration, a searching for meanings and connections. The search itself is crucial. If you are not asking the hard questions of life, if you are not carefully testing what others tell you, then you are not engaged with all the potential aspects of your own unique and wonderful life. -Sallirae Henderson

Betrayal and Magiclight
As to this other insert. It seems sort of white washy to me. In fact, it is just close enough to have a lot of people be able to say it took place as written up. The thing is that it wasn't written up anything near to this right after the event and Garrett Hake ( newsperson ) was there and says that day was one of most peaceful protestors day there was -- that nothing was taking place until the police and pepper spray got there. To use some rather famous words -- I think this is farcical Fake News..

When federal police officers violently cleared protesters from the city's Lafayette Park in June 2020, they did it so a contractor could install fencing — not to let President Donald Trump hold a photo opportunity at a nearby church, a report published Wednesday by the Interior Department's inspector general found.

I find this to be so spot on. I thought people who were "off" were easy to spot but now see all the ones I missed that in many cases I would have said were perfectly normal. White Supremacy is anything but, as well as the Ted Nugent's who are next to certifiable. It has been painful as well to see family members and good friends, who are still wonderful people if you could but X out the strange spell they have fallen under.
