The Coming Biden Trump debates...

 He was impeached for conspiring to fix the election with help from Ukraine. The Senate did not remove him because the Republicans want power more than justice and truth. Trump is going to face the people for his conspiracy with Russia - that the Republican Senate Report says is true and he did collude and conspire with Russia. Remember the six members of his 2016 campaign that WENT TO JAIL? There will be more this time, after he is voted out. He already said he can't win the debates. Biden will be given drugs to debate him, according to what he said last week. He's afraid, and he should be. Biden will do well, but he is Right, Biden isn't a kid anymore, but anybody off the street will beat Trump in any debate about anything: Trump will lie and even his followers hate him for being the pathological liar he is. He lied about the virus and 204,000 Americans are dead and 7,000,000 have gotten sick from the virus: he's Donald Death in my mind and will be for all the rest of my life. Moscow Mitch and Donald Death should be put under the jail, not in it. Vote.

One more time: Actual Democracy

We are all equal before the law or there are special people.  America and Trump believe in special people. The Constitution holds a big conrodiction: 5th and 14th Amendments say no person can be deprived due process of law or the equal protection of the law. The first and second article declare that the legislative power of America resides in the Congress and the Representatives in the House will be elected by their constituents and Senators will be elected by State legislatures (later change to direct election by amendment). Article two says the President will enforce the laws and be elected by an electoral college. Judges are appointed by the Executive. No citizen votes for the laws  they under. No citizen votes for the Executive officers, No citizen votes for Federal Judges.

We are denied the right to choose laws, to choose Representatives, to choose judges. Consequently, the citizens are denied the right to govern themselves. Does due process of law include having a say in making, executing, and interpreting the laws? Certainly not in America. Mankind is not wise enough to govern itself. There are special people, Representatives and Executive officers and  Judges. They are asserted to be able to govern us, because, simply, they are special, superior, people.  There is no equality before the law when 538 + 2 + 9 =549 people make the laws, execute the laws, and interpret the laws. If two heads are better than one then 200 million voting age citizens are better than 549 people. On man, one vote, only for other men to pick Executives, judges, and the laws.  Throughout history Representatives have betrayed their constituencies and robbed them, accepted bribes of power and money, and caused revolutions. Revolutions put in new Representatives, who got corrupted, and brought another revolution. With one more Amendment to the Constitution we can cut off the need for the coming revolution: see: assocactualdmocracy.com. 

Vote your "self-interest"

 You can't believe this man, Donald Trump, who deliberately tells you to die for him by giving yourself, unprotected to a deadly virus, "Don't wear masks." gives a damn about the American People? He kisses Putin's ass in public, says America is a second rate nation, seals every billion dollars that he can, and wants to keep killing Americans and Stealing their tax dollars. You probably heard about "voting your self-interest". It means vote for people who are slightly prepared to make sure the laws are made properly, enforced properly, and tax dollars spent properly. Trump doesn't know what properly means and ignores the law, ignores everything, and takes what he wants and says he's doing it for you-, because he "loves" you. He loves you like he loves soldiers: they are "chumps", "suckers" and he really believes it, and his supporters, are "suckers", he says so. A vote for trump is damned near suicide and giving him your bank account passwords.

This Country is all backwards. We are arguing who should interpret our laws and tell us what to do, how to live, what to eat, where to live, and who to love.  Some Democracy!!
Right now, we are free to obey. Quit obeying and they take your freedom.  We must vote directly on the laws ourselves. We must vote directly on the executives. We must vote on the judges.  I don't want a Democrat or Republican making laws for me. They take our tax dollars then steal them. They make laws so their children go to harvard and ours to the local community college.  Trump says the soldiers are fools and suckers. But we all are. We vote for an elected Aristocracy, not laws, not people to enforce those laws, not people to interpret the laws. We have to quit being suckers and vote our self-interest, not the oligarchs.

It really is time for a change, time for a change in the FORM of government.

Ginsburg, another "Great Dissenter"...

The Great Dissenters of the 30s and 40s, Black and Douglas, saw their descents become the law in the 50s and 60s. And I watched the progress of equal rights, equal opportunity, get applied to the black community, the women, immigrants, sports, humanity. But always fighting the conservative philosophy of "superior people" with money and power. The Supreme Court has caused so much division in this nation by supporting the rich and powerful while denigrating the common man, the citizens of this nation. Jefferson's idea, evolved from and through humanity's history, that "all men are created equal" where "men" stands for "each member of mankind" is created equal, has been denigrated by Supreme Court decisions throughout our history. The great dissenters of each generation have fought hard against our prejudice, our fear, our ignorance and our acceptance of the status quo, generation after generation. We need to change our government into an Actual Democracy: people voting for laws, executive officers, and judges, without "representatives" making the laws we live under, electoral college choosing our Executive officers, and the Executive choosing the judges. We will be free when we free our institutions of prejudice against any and all classes that "compete" for the power of the common purse and common law making. We, the common people, should choose our laws, our executives who execute the laws, and the Judges who interpret the laws. See assocactualdemocracy.com.  

Trump and medical masks..

 Trump and face masks? It's simple. Trump is the greatest terrorist in world history. He knows wearing a face mask keeps people from contacting the coronavirus, the cause of covid-19. But he says it is not necessary to wear masks. We have 4% of the world's population and 22% of the covid-19 cases. That's over 5 times what we should have. Canada has .4% of world population and .47% of the cases. U.S. has 5 times cases it should have and canada is slightly above 1 time what it should have, that is, .4% of population and .47% of cases. Why? Because Trump is a terrorist killing the American people while trying to get votes. He's still doing it. Deliberately telling people that "waiters" tell him masks don't help. To raise the chances of illness and death with deliberate intent is murder. Doing it for political reasons is terrorism. Trump, and his fellow right wing Republican extremists, white supremacists, spread deadly misinformation from seats of responsibility to get their constituents dead in the hope for votes. Feed the virus, kill the people, win the election. Putin has to really, really, love Donald death Trump

Response to a question on Racial Equality

 Your look at racial issues is rather shallow. It's not so complicated. It's the Founding Fathers: Is man wise enough to rule himself? Is man wise enough to stop fearing his own ignorance and his parent's philosophy of life? Is man the captain of his own fate or does he just go with the flow? Are those "look different people" , White, black, yellow; rich poor, middle, equal or are they easily classified into "dangerous, lazy, usable, dull" or "Strong, bright, trustful, industrious"? Or do they fit into all categories of human actions depending on what's going on? Are they, am I, humane, seeking knowledge, understanding, thoughtful, skilled, just trying to raise their children and leave the world slightly better off for their having walked on it? Are we all equally human, equal before the law, educable, fun-loving, fallible, trying, people? We, as Jefferson pointed out, summing up 15000 years of human experience, are created equal. So we should treat each other that way, within the limits of the criminal code - when it is applied without prejudice. We can't remove fear, and probably shouldn't. But we can cultivate courage, friendship, openness. It's not just "an eye for an eye" verses "love thy neighbor", or thy enemy, It's believe in yourself, that God and evolution have built us the way we are and we are not perfect, by a long shot. I guess it is harder. You and I just might be in "over our heads". But the questions are good questions. The Answers need a little work.

Pessimism

 We have been talking since The Republicans had control of all 3 branches of our government. But talking does no good when people have no intention of listening, evaluating what each other says, come with an open mind, come with the intention of making things better, for everybody. But we have not found that or brought that to the table. And after talk failed, we threw our hands up and this too will come to pass. Then it got worse, and worse.. We have to act. We have to protect the voting, protect our near poverty from getting worse, protect our paranoia from getting worse. lying, cheating, stealing has become the philosophy of success, the philosophy of even our religion. We need to quit talking and get out into the streets. Mock the fear mongers, join the scientists and get a common goal and work for it. I suggest "No man can be deprived of life,liberty, or property without due process of law." And then get a definition of law that includes accountability for Judges. Directly voting for the Executive officers. Directly voting on the laws we live under. But I have been talking to the wind all my days and now the night is here. We are free to obey. Quit obeying and they take your freedom. Trapped in a circle of futility. Frustrated, broke, and few hopes for the future. Power rules and it has been taken, taken, from us by fools and evil people looking to rule us and they can't rule themselves.
