Walkabout Thoughts #20 sort of...

My thoughts, Stream of consciousness, rough and ready, while walking off long Covid and listening to podcasts…


Weather for the day… 37° clouded, maybe snow (it's snowing up north)

Podcast for the day The Mary Trump Show podcast, "Special Master"

BTW, I've suggested this on my previous blogs, and I'm doing it again today.
I highly recommend Rachel Maddow's podcast, "Ultra". It's good solid history about America's previous insurrection prior to Donald Trump's also flaky version. You just have to point your camera app on your phone at this to get to it. I'm telling you, if you haven't heard it yet, it's one of the best podcasts (8 episodes, all out now) I've ever heard. Not to mention, one of the best historical stories I never had heard of, and I'm still stunned about that. But then historians lately have said the same thing and they knew they should have known about it! 
Also her previous podcast was very interesting, "Bag Man", about Richard Nixon's criminal VPOTUS. Also a fascinating tale of crime at our highest office.

Instagram post for the day NOPE, well, OK. Here's one. Here's Another.
Dead Man's hand from the short horror film, “Gumdrop”, a short horror.

Here's the deal, weather has sucked lately.

So, let's see...

Stop triggering ignorant conservatives about socialism. It's not the answer (nor is cathartically triggering them, though many deserve it). Reasonable Social Programs are required in EVERY country. But ending our toxic capitalism (& conservatism) is what's required here.

Have you heard about this Nick Fuentes guy that Trump and Ye had dinner with at Mar y Lago? I had no idea what this Nick guy was about. Saw a video (11:58 mins in) of him talking today. Good grief, it's stunningly bad nonsense. Conservatives want to literally destroy this country and turn it into something we'll really, really regret. Damn. Unbelievable. 

When do we wake up and realize on social media platforms we're all citizen journalists & responsible to truth & not spreading lies that can end democracy and this Republic? We're going to have to face the reality & responsibilities.

I'm less concerned about suicides than murders, which need addressing. But not as much as murders. Harm yourself, not others. I've long suggested legalizing mass shootings...IF the shooter offs himself too; he just has to start with that.

It's not just a gun OR mental health crises.
It's both, plus.
It's an overall attitude of guns, period.
A misunderstanding.
A cultural & attitudinal misunderstanding.
Misorientation.
Guns should only be considered & handled professionally.
Respectfully.
NOT toys.
Death Tools.
ONLY then, can they be seen as ANYthing else.

The world via efforts using technology like Cambridge Analytica, has rolled democracy back to 60% 1989 levels.
Autocracy's not growing because of human desire.
Rather, manipulated controls.
In America it's grown via the same with lies, unethical & illegal manipulations. But we're finally getting around to putting it down. Trump is on the run from prison and so far, losing. There is hope, at least still in America. But it's not a given.

If someone has voted for Donald Trump twice, what makes you think you can change their mind? Delusion? Mental illness? Asking for a friend.

Plus I got a pneumonia shot a week ago on the 18th, that set me back in my long covid for a week. You only need one now, they had just gotten in the new vaccine the day I got my shot. It used to be two, one, then a year later the second (heard this from several in my family). My cousin said it made her under the weather for about a week. So my long covid came back as it was a couple of months ago, but that's fading now.

Anyway, no walkabout. I'm thinking now as the weather is lame, cold, wet, kind of miserable, to just use my elliptical and listen to podcasts. Better workout in less time. Just no moving imagery or options for good new Instagram posts.

However, had a couple of thoughts...

Someone tell Republicans to purge themselves of their autocratic fetishes in supporting Donald Trump or any like him for reelection from here going forward. Look at it as if we’re living on the night's edge and they will HAVE to change the name of America, if Republicans win in 2024.

Yes, as Republicans are trying to push it, Hunter Biden‘s laptop is real. It IS a laptop. It IS a solid entity. Whether it’s relevant or not, the FBI should look into that, NOT Congress. However, Republicans are fake, doing jobs to keep their jobs rather than to expend efforts on behalf of our citizens, and that doesn’t seem to be up for debate either. Just consider the POTUS45 administration years. And the 20 years before that. Years after that. And soon the insufferable fake bullshit politically biased politically charged obstructionist MAGA/ QAnon nonsense House Republican "investigations" will begin again. As we has insufferable Benghazi and Hillary's emails "investigations". Sigh... 

We hate others more in what we see in them, which we see in ourselves.

Cheers! Sláinte!
