My answer to an old college buddy's question

Trump bragged that he could grab women’s vaginas. Then he suppressed women coming forward about him repeatedly cheating on his wife. Thanks to his control over a FEW women, he gets elected and puts 3 anti-abortion Justices on the Supreme Court, so that women by the MILLIONS lost sovereignty over their own bodies. And then he brags about overturning Roe.

So he grabs women, then suppresses women, then controls women, while bragging about it.

Are any women stupid enough to vote for that monster?

Every time I get stoned, I always seem to end up listening to this song because of all the hot memories from 1983 during which this music played. Transports me, if only in my heart, from age 71 to 30, when I had that recipe. Op. 42

"The Post reported that Trump said the donations would be a 'deal' for oil executives because of the tax cuts and relaxed regulations he would implement ... ."

Well, no wonder Trendsetter Engineering, Inc. so proudly hosted 's 2-Nov-2023 Houston campaign rally. Could its leadership team be so desperate for their 30 pieces of silver that they're willing to crucify American democracy? Certainly seems that way to me.

1/2) If -- keyword "if" -- climate change is making flooding and tornadoes more severe and more frequent, then I guess we already do have a Carbon Tax. It's called insurance premiums. Sad thing is that more and more insurance companies are dropping coverage altogether for many regions. So instead of a small Carbon Tax for all, it's now a huge risk exposure for some.

2/2) Please spare me the "we've always had floods and tornadoes" rhetoric. True that. The question is: Are they more severe and more frequent? Time will tell.

I guess we're all in the gambling business now. Personally, I think future generations will never forgive ours for our relentless inaction.

All of us pay attention to the news. We vote the right way on Election Day. Why not vote the right way all 365 days of the year?

Beware what you share. Russian bots are flooding social media with memes to destabilize U.S. politics, and to divert attention away from its war with Ukraine.

We used to say we live in the "Information Age." Now it's the "Disinformation Age."

Technology is a double-edged sword. Let's hope it doesn't decapitate democracy itself.

I wonder if much of the U.S. campus unrest about might be deliberately whipped up by and other social media algorithms to soften support for among young voters.

(My own position is that is utterly responsible for the October 7th atrocities. However, has stupidly fallen into their trap. is creating orders of magnitude more terrorists than they're killing. Today's Gaza children will grow up with seething hatred and thirst for revenge.)

Your thoughts?

Tomorrow and the rest of Trump's trial will be utter torture for him, to see and hear people telling lots of negative things about him, but without him to be able to shout them down or even utter a single word.

Question: What's the over/under for number of trial days (or a fraction thereof) until the judge has him locked up overnight for verbally or nonverbally interfering with the trial?

Tough call.

In 2022, we had planned on a long road trip to visit relatives in NC. Then the decision convinced us not to travel through anti-choice states. So we spent $4,239.09 in NM and AZ instead, and we had the time of our lives.

Very glad we saw the , , , the , the and many other sites while AZ was still a pro-choice state. I'd never go there now, because I get great satisfaction when I . https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/arizona-supreme-court-ruling-abortion-ban-rcna146915

Imagine the audacity! To even question the honesty of the man who destroyed the integrity of the most important court in the US. What nerve! We have every right to investigate his investigation to death.
