Autocratic crazy people

  Scot Nakagawa wrote on his newsletter Nov. 6, an excellent review of Elon Musk...or rather how we made his power possible.

The Monster We Make

How strongmen rise because we enable them, and what Alex Gibney’s Musk teaches about the part of us that keeps falling for it.


I hope blogger will let me put the link in.
I'll keep trying. That's why it looks like I published this yesterday...I had to test to see if it worked. But it may only open because I have the email address.

Anyway other things we not-so-crazy people are thinking about these days:


But override vetoes takes how many?




Yay Sister!!

We may consider doing away with the electoral college - but that's how Lincoln was put in office. How many other presidents didn't have the popular vote but were elected with the current system, besides of course tRump?

    1. It was fun talking with my physical therapist yesterday after she had watched tRump make a speech. He's not funny. Maddening and sad still.

    1. The people have known the right direction all along. RESIST has a deep meaning in our lives over the last 10 years.

  3. It's not out of the question that a few republicans could vote with us. Btw, I love this header picture.

  4. Hello,
    Hopefully, starting in January they can do something about the high cost of goods. Gasoline prices are still horrible. They need to end the stupid war too. I hope they can get enough votes override the vetoes.
    Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
