"Every time I got married I was told it was time to settle down, and every time I got divorced I was told it was time to settle up. My accountant says I can't afford to settle down anymore." - Carl Engel (A farewell to Paradise)

Asking for help. This is my new website, and it needs some visitors to get noticed by the search engines. Clicking the link below will provide the boost I need to be noticed by those spider things.

Another new normal to add to all the others we are inundated with; treason is now an acceptable political strategy in #Washington. Actions have consequences, and #America cannot abandon the rule of law and continue to claim to be the bearer of some sacred torch of righteousness.

Democracy is a threat to white supremacy. It is not distrust of the democratic process that is causing this chaos, it is fear and hatred of democracy.

Mike Pence could go down in history as the most cowardly and obsequious man that ever cut a throat. He is their Brutus, and if he doesn't stab his Caesar soon, they will take his dagger away.

I was asked the other day, how long it took me to write my last book - about 58 years, I told them.

It's not all gloom and doom. A black man and a Jew were elected in #Georgia! Trump and his #treason like everything in his life, will end badly. Evil lurked in American society. #Trump fed it, and it dared to show its face. Let's see what happens next. I am no longer pessimistic.

Alternative reality always becomes an alternative morality. #CapitolBuilding #CapitalHill #Capitol #capitolbreach

#America excused Trump's endless lies, claiming them to be "alternative reality." This is what you do to the mentally ill. "Oh, don't mind Donald, he lives in an alternative reality." Isn't that another way of saying, "Yes, he's insane, so we let him do whatever he wants?"

#ChrisHedges is one of the clearest thinking people out there. This short video is excellent, indeed.

The way to decide what is immoral, is to ask yourself, what would happen if everybody did it? If everybody behaved like Trump, we would have universal lawlessness, and conclusions through bullying, leading to anarchy. Some people won't understand this and are best ignored.

#Trump is certainly entertaining. As Karl Marx famously and brilliantly put it: “Hegel remarks somewhere that all great, world-historical facts and personages occur, as it were, twice. He has forgotten to add: the first time as tragedy, the second as farce.”
