Edward Snowden reacts to Russia meddling in U.S. elections--My Comment: Our Discontent
Worthy comments of Snowden that require listening. It is sad Snowden created the pot in which now he and our nation are stewing. His words have merit though. In short, we are the only ones who can change the trajectory of this nation and we are the only ones who can fight Russian misinformation by creating and believing in rational truth. He says there will always be some nation that will want to insert itself in our affairs. That cannot be stopped. I think that is true. Nations like Russia, he says, will always exist but the way to combat it is with sanity and truth. We are the creators of our own discontent!

To Save Nations
Every time I see the crosses and some Stars of David on the Normandy beach site in France marking those utterly brave souls who gave their lives on Omaha, Utah and other beaches during WWII so that the world could be free of the Nazi menace I choke up with sadness and am in awe of those dedicated and ever-so-brave Americans with our allies who sacrificed their lives so the world could live free from the jackboot of tyranny. Trump besmirched and insulted every man and woman who has served selflessly in our military to defend all of us from the machinations of corrupt autocracies.
Imagine if Trump were president at that time -- a man who loves and sides with Putin and other autocrats, would have loved Nazi strength along with its no conscience attendant cruelty and would have bowed to Hitler whom I am sure he would have envied and, indeed, imitated. We would be seeing Nazi swastika flags in all of Europe and flying from sea to shining sea of our once great nation. We would have seen the world lay prostrate wrapped in an envelope of fascistic barbarity for which Trump would have sadistically and with zero conscience advocated. Herculean heights of death and destruction would have been the Trump legacy and he would have shown no mercy to opposition he would crush like an insect under his shoe if he could.
It is said at Trump's bedside lay a book of Hitler's speeches. I do not, admittedly, know how true that story is. It may not be true but because I cannot dismiss that story outright and know of the characterless, corrupt and fraudulent Trump just the fact that it could be true is enough to make me cringe at the thought of giving the most ignorant of all men a second term.
If, God willing, Biden wins, I urge you to get down on bended knee and thank fate or, if one prays, thank the God to whomever one prays that this nation will have escaped the most corrupt, inhumane, and psychopathologically sick beast to ever occupy the sacred office of the United States presidency.
Our nearly 250 year democracy hangs on a thread of human volition and can be snuffed out in a near instant when a cult of personality that is Trump prevails to trick a needy populous into believing a mountain of lies which serve as a footing to build his future familial empire. Trump's cult of personality and promises are based on empty promises and unconscionable mendacity. He does not care about you, he does not care about me and he does not care about preserving our democracy. He is ripping our nation's foundation up to preserve his own power as the only thing Trump cares about is himself. If elected again on November 3 our democratic experiment will be left to the dustbin of history taking its place aside many other failed states bathing in the ruins of once prospering nation states.
Make no mistake Trump is the real loser and sucker he thinks those in the military who died or were captured are. Every indictment he makes is an indictment against him. The insults he spews against others he perceives as enemies is in reality not a description of them but a description of him.
To save not just this nation but all nations who love breathing the air of freedom's democracy, on November 3 get out to vote and vote blue up and down the ticket. The lives you save will truly be your own!

HOW UNSTABLE/STUPID IS DONALD J. TRUMP? ANSWER: VERY
HOW UNSTABLE/STUPID IS DONALD J. TRUMP? ANSWER: VERY!
This shows you how unstable and stupid Donald J. Trump is that he acquiesces to subverting the US Mail to hurt Democrats BUT what he does not count on is his own Republicans getting angry and hurt because many are old and want to vote by mail either because of disability or to avoid COVID infection; moreover, they want their prescriptions, too, so it should alienate seniors Republican and Democrat in general; beyond that the military whom Trump always says loves him so much will NOT love him when their prescriptions do not arrive on time either and perhaps not a few will die because of it. Yes, slowing up the US Mail hurts, in reality, EVERYONE not simply Democrats but Republicans also. So who thought up this stable genius maneuver?
The final analysis is that Trump had to say yes to the illegal maneuver that is subverting the US Mail before DeJoy, his megga donor in-his-pocket Postmaster General, could perfect the crimes. Donald J. Trump is VERY unstable and VERY stupid to think he would get away unscathed by this, unsavory, illegal, immoral and unethical action!!

COVID, charasmatic Kamala
I have stopped crying out of happiness and now am cheering for the joy of Kamala Harris, Biden's pick for VP on the ticket. Watching clips of her in more frequency since she was chosen I realize what I did not before. I originally was a supporter of Susan Rice who seemed to me to have the gravitas and superb intellect needed for high office. However, I have changed my mind and now support Kamala Harris with the full force of my emotive strength. There is a reason I am, as an understatement, thrilled at Biden's choice.
Kamala Harris oozes charisma. Her smile is infectious and her laughter contagious. She is a necessary complement to Biden. The ticket is explosive now with enthusiasm which Kamala already has brought to the contest.
A friend of mine when asked by me how she felt about the choice. She said she thought Republican men were heading to the bathroom since they saw their demise. I say good. That is exactly where supporters of Trump belong so we can flush the poison down the toilet never to be heard from again!! Well, I can hope anyway.
This is the first time my depression has lifted over months perhaps even years. Maybe just maybe the scourge of Trump has met his Covid and charismatic Kamala match. Good luck VP Biden and Kamala Harris this progressive is with you both 100%

Trump’s New Favorite COVID Doctor Believes in Alien DNA, Demon Sperm, and Hydroxychloroquine
This is the face of uneducated America and Trump wants to know why people do not like him! Trump has got at least one thing right few like him, the worst most corrupt president in US history. Mr. Trump, maybe that's why we do not like you because you are mean, cruel, have divided this nation possibly beyond repair; you are corrupt, you are a fraud and you lie continuously. Your inaction as to COVID-19 is responsible for thousands of American deaths and to add to the plethora of reasons to reject this president in toto he further stated that in 8 calls with Russia's Putin he failed to bring up the intelligence fact which has alleged that Russia is putting bounties on the heads of US soldiers in Afghanistan. He lied and said this intelligence did not pass his desk. Of course, it did. This is nothing less than treason!
Mr. Trump, you don't read, worse you do not read the presidential daily briefing, you ignore experts and you are criminal. You are an immoral, unethical beast who is a narcissistic sociopath. What is there to like about you? Answer: NOTHING. Resign!

"Warning, Warning: Republicans Are Plotting to Raid Social Security"
In November, when we decide whether Donald Trump will retain the presidency and whether Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Graham, Ernst, Collins, Cory Gardner (R-CO), David Perdue (R-GA), Steve Daines (R-MT), Thom Tillis (R-NC), John Cornyn (R-TX), and Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) retain their Senate seats, we should remember the money they are pocketing.
Donald Trump was right to say we should drain the swamp. What he failed to tell us is that he and his Republican allies are the swamp creatures."

The Great Nadir
From the Atlantic Magazine: "Whatever way you look at it, it is impossible to turn this history and its leading figures into a part of American heritage. Founded in an act of treason against the government its leaders had sworn to protect and serve, the Confederate States of America and its white-supremacist government waged a four-year war against the United States of America and the principles Americans value most highly."
"This is the cause that Confederate statues commemorate. This is why white supremacists arrive armed to prevent their removal, as they did in Charlottesville, Virginia, in 2017. And it is why they are a target of Black Lives Matter protesters in their campaign for racial justice and a crucial part of the conversation about the legacy of slavery in American life."
