Pope Francis issues his long-awaited climate change encyclical. He blames man-made pollution. Denialists promptly see the light, praise the Lord and vow to curb emissions, demanding national energy savings legislation. Obama cancels drilling in the Arctic. I can dream, can't I?
Hillary is a closeted TPP booster. What a shock.
Despite Paul Krugman's best propagandistic efforts to tell us otherwise, Obamacare is actually helping to destroy what's left of the middle class. A paradox, a paradox, a most ingenious paradox. The technocratic neoliberati are singing with all the grim joy that their piratical Citigroup egos can muster.
Presidential politics are getting really, really, really peculiar. No kidding.
Four sleazy ways that the mainstream press is trying to marginalize the Bernie Sanders campaign. Only four?
(Please feel free to comment on whatever, within or without reason. It's one of those days.)
I will repeat. Where is Elizabeth Warren in all this and what are her plans?
ReplyDeletePearl,
ReplyDeleteWarren is not running for president and the "draft Warren" movement has disbanded.
She's very smart to remain in the Senate, where she is proving to be highly effective and influential. She is a woman who knows how to pick her battles. I could never envision her as president. She has close to zero interest/expertise in foreign policy and is probably morally incapable of dropping even one single bomb.
Thanks Karen: and it is a loss.
ReplyDeleteI hope she will challenge whomever is chosen to run the country at least. I asked about her because I had not read that she was definitely not running for higher office.
I had my computer gone over (it is now fixed) by a man who is from Jamaica or one of the islands that black immigrants in Canada come from. I mentioned what I was involved in and he made some clever remarks indicating he knew the whole sad story of U.S. behavior. I am sure he saw the poverty his people lived in before emigrating here. I am glad to give him my business and he is very knowledgeable about the inner workings of computers. Just changing to all these different windows drives me crazy and although I bought a new computer a few weeks ago they are already changing Windows 8 to Windows 10 in July. I mentioned that is how these huge corporations make their money and where are simple machines without all the gadgets. He said they don't make much money for people who don't like change so concentrate on all the gadget filled expensive machines changing constantly. This is progress?

And clever comment to above:
ReplyDeleteObama, AmeriKKKa's premier traitor, who like Rachel Dolezal fantasizing she is black, so to with Obama, a white man hiding behind a black skin, fantasizing he is black. While Obama has "Dreams of his Father," we have nightmares of his father's son.
