If you wonder, like I do, about how ANYONE can cling to a view that pretty much the entire country thinks is wrong, think about this: Politicians are a unique breed. They are the clique-makers. The authors of division, by definition, placing party loyalty above all else.

So here’s the problem with that: They surround themselves with like-minded people, shunning the viewpoints of anyone who is NOT on their team. To the point where NO ONE would dare even bring up climate change in a room with them…unless to joke about or reject it, and anything said by its supporters, as #fakenews. They never SEE the evidence (because they cover their eyes). They never HEAR the Truth (with hands over their ears), so how are they to believe it?

Sure…in a perfect world they are duty bound to become informed, and make the decisions that are best for all of their constituents and America. But this ain’t no perfect world, and these guys ain’t no model citizens. No, they are flawed, self-centered, humans…who need to be bitchslapped into the 21st century and have their eyes forced open (think #ClockworkOrange), forcing them to see to the realities around them.

Bullies suck. I was bullied a lot as a kid, but honestly it seems like it’s worse now. So many more ways to hurt people with “virtual” bullying. Physical bullying has limits in time and space…they waited to give me my daily beatings every day at the bus stop at 3:15. But the Internet is 24/7 Everywhere. No place to hide from your antagonist(s).
Keaton…you are brave and you are not alone. Hang in there…it WILL get better if you don’t allow them take your future from you. ~jg

That’s right…the French are offering grants to American scientists to encourage climate studies. Since it’s pretty obvious that the #Trump administration is out to destroy the environment, it’s lucky for us that #France wants to make the PLANET great again.
Great, in this case, being ACTUALLY great…as in before HUMANS started fucking everything up.

Folks…wanna see what a #PoliceState looks like? Want to see where all this “surveillance in the name of security” is leading us? Well…Look no further than #China. Soon, you won’t be able to pick your nose in public without fear that the #Chinese government is watching…and ready to destroy your life in a heartbeat to keep control.

This is America in 10 years if we don’t demand our rights back!
Go ahead. Keep saying it can’t happen here. It can and it IS happening…right under our noses, condoned rather than exposed by ALL of the #MainstreamMedia on BOTH sides. It’s ALL #FakeNews when it comes to the elite keeping control. When History writes this American Chapter, they will surely note how avoidable it was. Just like Hitler was avoidable, The signs were there…they were just ignored because #ItCantHappenHere

#SpoilerAlert: It CAN happen here. It’s Happening NOW, and we’re all in denial.

Equality and Justice is better for everyone. The more people who share the Knowledge, the better chance of solving our Serious Problems. Better chance of bettering life for ALL, not just the richest. It’s obvious our leadership can’t see past the forest for the trees on many imperative issues…perhaps including the WHOLE country on these decisions instead of letting these idiots make them. These AssHats in control, who routinely ignore even the will of their own constituency, to hunker down along party lines, averting any real progress in the name of profits and progress for a few, at the expense of the masses.
But…the information and education revolution is well underway, and when the whole world gets wise to these charades of a few, there will be no way for these “elite” parasites to hide behind the wizard’s curtain.
Another important reason we need to keep the Internet free. Support #NetNeutrality

ps…Sometimes it amazes me where I end up from where I started, while writing about a headline. Equality for women -> net neutrality — Am I not the Segue King?

Diplomats don’t quit every day. This is seriously a bad, bad, Very Bad, B-A-D. sign. Tex and the #Trump Gang are accused of “gutting the [State] department and damaging America’s standing across the world”.
Damaging the reputation of The United States is treasonous, and very dangerous, the way they are going about it, doing an excellent job egging on global thermonuclear war as well.
I turned off #WarGames last night, not because I’ve seen it so many times, but because it was all a little too real, and made me worried there WON’T be a happy ending to our current nuke-cautionary tale.
