Former Trump Aide Rick Gates Will Plead Guilty To Mueller Probe Charges: Report He’s willing to testify against Paul Manafort, his onetime associate, according to The Los Angeles Times.

The unstable moron: The house of cards is coming down.  In the end Donald Trump is a STUPID man.   He thought he could use the presidency as an authoritarian cash cow.  He thought he would get away with immense power so no one would challenge a thing as he did in his business schemes but this time milk the American taxpayer for all we are worth.  He did not count on one thing because he knows nothing about our system.  He never counted on a document being more powerful than he -- the Constitution and a balance of power. 

Putin must have some unbelievable kompromat on Trump to force him never to utter Russia's name in vain when he insults everyone else.  Why?  I can guess.  His Congressional Republican partners will be jumping like rats off a ship in an attempt to save their vile jobs and their own skin.  They made a losing bet.  May this charlatan con man never rest in peace and may he, his family, and all his cronies get the justice they so richly deserve.  Bless this nation that will be taking down the most powerful man on the planet but in truth he is simply a common criminal as he is alleged to be and an unstable stupid one at that!

A thing of gender idenification

I just watched a very interesting documentary "Gender Revolution: A Journey with Katie Couric."  I got it through Netflix but you can view it if you choose by Googling it. 

All of it is interesting but of particular interest to me was the segment on non-western nations which incorporate different sexual identifications of their people without hostility and discord such as Samoa which, in fact, lauds sexual diversity, parts of India (the Hijra) and a part of Mexico (the highly revered Muxe.)  Some even conduct celebrations of that difference.


What surprised me the most, however, was Couric's discussion she had with Rabbi Elliot Kukla, an expert on gender issues, who talked about the Talmud and other classical Jewish texts dating back thousands of years that identified six genders: male, female, tumtum, androgynos, saris and ay'lonit.  He explained that "clearly other variations were there and that they had a system that was not binary."

Personally, I have eschewed faith not only for its irrationality but because I am hostile to what the important text of Leviticus has done that has created mayhem for those who were born with gender identity differences.  It created great unnecessary suffering, ruined lives and even prompted many to suicide.  Our nation obviously wants to return to that oppressive era by Trumpian crushing what little progression has been made on these issues debating the stupidity of who can use what bathroom, who cannot and who will be ostracized as well as bullied because nature dictated something different for them.

This documentary shines a light through expert analysis and through those who experience that gender difference.  Things, in fact, are changing here but for those who experienced a different brutally hostile time the blame of which I put squarely on a variety of Biblical text written by heterosexual men for other men makes me still angry.  The fact that attitudes in the west have changed does not prompt me to forgiveness.  Because of it and other dictates of faith I remained alienated from it.  As Bill Nye the science guy explained there are a host of human sexual differences that the Trumpian Republican right refuses to acknowledge.  No, they choose to add to their swamp more swamp making sure misery prevails for all but the fortunate 2% richest among us whose money allows them to evade national hostility or prosper because of it.
