They relish destroying, we do not. I graduated UC Berkeley out of political psychology, a new major that wasn't quite a major yet, so political science to be politically correct. Never too into the science but always the psychology. When the orange peel first slipped onto the political stage slithering down his toxic elevator; professional psychologists, psychiatrists, lawyers, judges all called him exactly what he was and spelled out our doom if we didn't listen. What is it about him that is alluring? I can't figure it. From the minute I heard his name I detested his behavior. Why are we so stupid thinking that people with money are smart, talented, trustworthy??? As a boss of mine when the orangatang surfaced said I must vote for him and I said I never could, my response was, "What do you like about him?"
"He reminds me of my daddy." Oy. Needless to say, I lost that job immediately.
"political psychology" major, wow how cool! Yes, the masters of the dark arts completely indoctrinated their cult members. I'll never understand it either. Except I worked hard and understanding things, contemplating my navel, to achieve some basic critical thinking skills. Apparently many Americans are too damn lazy to try to think past their party dogma.
Party dogma, while partying.... inebriated, not seeing clearly, happy to go along with the loudest which they think means the best... I guess. Not in my universe! It does take extra work to ascertain how the inside gears work. There isn't a promise that such a hobby will bear fruit. Early on so many take the Pavlovian example as reality.
Too cold for beach volleyball here, but a grand day to protest, turnouts were fantastic! John Lennon wrote Imagine, it’s something that always comes to mind… like seeing Al Gore speaking recently… things always could be much different, it’s up to us to make those changes!Sla’inte
May I ask where you are, Patrick? It was freezing today at the beach here too. I think the coldest it's been in a long time. I only stripped down to my bathing suit after three hours in my hoodie and sweat pants.
I've been to every protest going right after volleyball if needed, but I didn't see one today? Normally I just stop in Culver City on the way home. Thanks for getting out there!!
“Imagine if the Democrats had blasted Trump’s cognitive decline on repeat, highlighting his dismal crowds, incoherent speeches, molesting microphones, talking about Hannibal Lecter and Haitians eating the dogs, eating the cats?
Imagine if we had fought GOP lies about the economy as viciously as they spewed them. Like the Canadian campaign message, “Elbows Up!” what if Democrats had used “Bottoms Up!” meaning, “Cheers to Biden’s bottom-up Keynesian economics, disproving Trickle-Down economics, and making our economy the envy of the world!” “
All of that would have been nice. I understand the aversion of elected officials when it comes to criticizing the press, but just in this past decade alone the fourth estate have shown themselves needing to hear it.
Billionaires have bought elections and our judicial and elected representatives via Citizens United, by a corrupt SCOTUS.
Operation Mockingbird infiltration of the MSM, started the fall of truth…the billionaire class have always been exerting influence and control of a class we’ll never be a part of. They have become the enemy, of we the serfs!
I’m. In Minnesota by the by Lorraine, excellent piece!!
IMAGINE is a song title. We can’t revisit the past. We can only learn from it if we will. Tomorrow isn’t a given but we should always have a plan should tomorrow arrive. We do have today; 24 little hours. The question remains how can we best use them for the higher purpose of re-forming a more perfect Union?
This piece should be our manifesto!
Hindsight is 20/20, Stanley!
Well I do have some problems with my vision problems.

And just downright indoctrinated. No excuse.

Agreed, Rue. The Fourth Estate is owned by billionaires. It's been captured too. 💔

It is a sad sight indeed. There is a history of shortcomings & problems but this moment truly takes the cake.
Dark times. I hope we see the light at the end of the tunnel soon.
I hope so too.
Kudos, Lorraine!
That means a lot coming from you, thanks Manuel. 🥰
Lorraine Evanoff: Ever since Olympics a few years ago, I learned the thrill of beach volleyball that had eluded me.
The women play with real spirit, energy and superior skills.
Love your pictures with beach volleyball action.
While I love Joe Biden -- who STRENGTHENED NATO -- look at NATO's map as a result of the Biden expansion . . .
I am a real fan of Kamala Harris, and her recent speech leaves promise for the near future.
Maybe Kamala Harris will run for Governor of California.
In any event, Kamala Harris is not a shrinking flower.
As a matter of fact, in about 170 days, Kamala Harris compressed about two years of Presidential campaign.
I look very much forward to the future in Democratic leadership.
A lot of talent.
JB Pritzker.
Andy Beshear.
Muriel Bowser.
Maura Healy.
Kathy Hochul
Katy Hobbs
Gavin Newsome
Janet Mills.
Gretchen Whitmer.
HAKEEM JEFFRIES!
CORY BOOKER!
So many more.
The future of the Democratic Party looks VERY GOOD!
So very many more!
