Hello All
Thom's blog in this space and moving to a new home.

It is easiest to spot the ones in the Republican Party.
Thom, before the Biden administration can do anything they must rid themselves of the White Supremacists in their midst. How quickly we all forget the "white power" signs being flashed over the last four years, in fact, I remember entire shows being dedicated to this disgraceful act. Another example just a few days ago yet we heard nothing from the media.
The point I am making is, DC is full of hypocrites and the entire lot of them need replacing. The search for those who truly want to do the job without all the partisan BS should and will hopefully continue.
Your or anyone else's effort to stifle or eliminate any opposing party or their beliefs is exactly what a constitutional republic does not need.
Life is but a dream.
There are a bunch of Senators that want to run for President in 2024. Seems that the best way for them to do this is get Trump out of the way.

It can be implemented by starting with spreading the knowledge of these points.
Yes, it will take more than just Sanders or Warren because we have a scared DNC
who are still heavily tied to big business money, but a media that isn't giving equal
weight to truth vs. lies would be helpful as well.
Nice wish list Thom but how can it be implemented when 99% of Republicans are poor or middle class and vote for a Party that only supports the 1%? Look at the crowd at the Capitol. How many were in the 1%?
Executive actions.
"What still works?"
Cuz #3: "Answer me this, your only child is very sick with a life-threatening issue, do you rush your child to, A. Someone who happens to be the "first" doctor? B. The most capable doctor?"
Ah... C. "Nearest" (n.e.a.r.e.s.t.): No time to rummage through goddamn paperwork, the Yellow Pages, or the internet for fckng credentials, numbers, addresses, etc., etc. (or to leave frantic messages on some computerized phone service because your regular doctor is out playing golf on the weekend and won't pick up). You call a damn ambulance right efing NOW! Go, go, go!
Or... D. Whatever, drive yourdamnself then and hope you pick up a police escort -- worry about the details later. You just rush like hell to the nearest emergency room, and you hand that little crumb-cruncher to the nearest team of excessively trained, more-than-capable doctors and nurses supplied with the latest knowledge, equipment, and technology.
Because this is a liberal democracy, all are widely available throughout America primarily because of, well, liberal Democratic platform policies hardwon over the decades, notwithstanding the devastating effects of overstepping privateers bleeding our lifeblood (literally) for exorbitant profits -- just more-of-the-same blood-money (literally) policies stacked high on the standard Republican platform.
Oh yeah, while on your bony knees bleeding on the hard floor, throw in a little prayer for Bernie, who's running the Senate Budget Committee. Maybe in the near future, all those corporate-slanted, outrageously expensive private insurance plans and supplements riddle full of legalese holes won't be breaking your fragile, paycheck-to-paycheck budget or won't, God forbid, give you a heart attack. Then you'd have to call two ambulances, a budget-breaker for sure.
And don't forget to thank your lucky stars that more COVID economic stimulus is coming down the pike, eh? More of that evil socialism, wink, wink.
E. Don't worry, be happy }:--))
Executive orders.
The plot thickens.
So, people who are opinionated automatically think they are in charge.
yeah...got it.
Really? You're suddenly concerned about executive orders -
especially when we have a variety of crises that have to be
attended to while facing an intransigent Republican Party?
Again, it is not supposed to "be" democracy,
but a way to restore democracy.
spinning = lying
The sore losers are stumbling through the devastation and carnage all around them, still dazed and in denial after crawling out of the derailed Trump Train -- "The GOP: One train wreck on top of another.." - Riverplunge #1 👍
They haven't yet fully processed the fact they have faithfully supported and enabled a human monster and a traitor these four long, miserable years. And they will always share personal culpability for much of the death and suffering of so many. That stink won't wash off.
But how does one come to grips with something that monumentally stupid and immoral? Most Republicans probably won't. Denial and distraction are the easier paths. "Eyes are the mirror of the soul." It's simple -- just don't look in the mirror.
Here's only a glimpse of the horrible mess Biden inherited, the rest of which will take years to clean up:
Taking Trump's lead, his sadsack army of liars and losers are trying desperately to portray Biden as a doddering old fool unaware of his surroundings. That lie will also fail, just like all their other pathetic attempts to stay relevant.

Hi Sue, thanks for the comeback. I only assumed who was the moderator based on one individual's dominance of this blog's posts.
Thank you for setting me straight. Psst, don't tell the other person they are not in charge, the damage to their ego might be devastating.
Carry on and thanks for the much needed positive post the other day. It sounds like you are not in the US. Wherever you are, stay safe.

President Biden has issued 9 more Executive orders in his first week than the last eight administrations combined. Where is democracy?
Here were the results for the last eight administrations:
Cuz never has facts. It is only opinion.
Notice that we have a Press Secretary that actually gives Press Conferences. Notice that they treat the media with respect. Also no lies! Also they did not spend the first week bragging about the Inaugeration. Instead of keeping meetings with Putin secret, Biden releases the transcript.
spinning = lying
Notice how vicious lies about Biden and his crew are presented as facts as if they should be part of a reasonable discussion.
Notice the lack of sourcing.
Notice the clear pattern.
Doesn't all that spinning make you dizzy?
One more thought,
remember when senators got coronavirus
briefings before the public and sold off
millions of dollars in stocks before the
crash last year and faced no
consequences and no regulation? then
reddit made one stock into a meme and
they're talking about restructuring the
whole market.
Good column Thom but you may have it twisted a bit.
It is not Donald Trump and GameStop or AMC that are the same, it is Donald Trump and the reddit bunch of average people that are the same.
You have railed on bloodsucking hedge funds for decades, I agree and I find them very comparable to the power hungry congress critters that pass laws totally created for them by lobbyists. Even Elizabeth Warren rushed to the aid of the hedge funds on Friday reinforcing the fact it was wise to boot her out of the democratic primaries.
The reddit group as you correctly labeled them, average middle class people, is very equatable to the group of early on Trump followers who thought they saw a way to throw sand in the machinery that is sadly in so much in need of repair.
Take your feelings about Trump out of the equation and remember it was running on populism which can bring us a Trump or Reagan every few years and both of whom were in stark contrast to the man currently in the Oval Office signing a record number of EO's put in front of him by people he does not even know. That number is 30 and counting and I would wager he cannot even name a third of what he has decreed as law with a stroke of his pen.
Trump was a loose cannon, Biden is a machine gun manned (pardon the gender identification) by a crew of individuals all with their own personal agendas where race, gender of choice, and being "the first" are a priority and all three trump capability.
Answer me this, your only child is very sick with a life-threatening issue, do you rush your child to,
A. Someone who happens to be the "first" doctor?
B. The most capable doctor?
Don't worry, be happy
10 of the Executive orders were Pandemic related. Emergency needs for a Pandemic that was ignored by the previous administration. Thus, why we are number 1 in Covid-19 in the world.
Let's see who he beats:
"According to the Federal Register, Trump signed 220 executive orders during his four years in office. Throughout their eight-year administrations, Obama signed 276 executive orders and George W. Bush signed 291.
What makes you think you have riled me, cuz? I'm pretty easy-going most of the time, and I'm the only moderator here unless I call in the webmaster, which I very rarely do. You remind me of the Republican congress critters who are doing the rounds on media saying they have been censored. But I don't recall hearing any silence or beeps on those media. I do hope that everyone will do their best to remain civilized though.
I don't care what gender people are, but it is helpful to know whether to refer to them as 'he' or 'she'. 'It' sounds so rude.
