Coming . . .

. . . soon
. . . to YOUR theatre . . .


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/democratic-impeachment-holdouts-grapple-rising-pressure-n1058761)
". . . Over the course of the past week, most (House Democratic caucus) holdouts (all of which represented districts Trump won in 2016 had been notably reluctant to speak (on impeachment of Trump), with some ignoring or literally running from questions. . . . Reps. Kendra Horn, D-Okla., Lucy McBath, D-Ga., and Sharice Davids, D-Kansas, for instance, deflected queries from NBC News on Wednesday by directing reporters to contact their offices, which proved no more interested in responding: they did not return requests for comment. . .

In Case . . .

. . .  you didn't know . . .


(from https://www.emptywheel.net/2019/09/26/the-definition-of-collusion-as-impeachment-proceeds-the-risk-trump-poses-to-all-americans/)
". . . There is an impact that Trump’s “collusion” and corruption have on everyday Americans, whether they wear pussy hats or MAGA caps, an impact that Democrats have permitted Republicans to obscure. Trump’s actions effectively rob Americans of the powerful executive on foreign policy issues that our Constitution very imperfectly sought to ensure, without stripping the weakened Trump of the tools he can wield to punish those who call him on his weakness. . .Because he always self-deals, Trump has made himself an intolerably weak President, one who makes the US less secure at every step. Republicans defending him need to be held accountable for weakening the US. . ."

Senator . . .

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zmC-4u7dwm8


(from https://www.sasse.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/about and https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/trump-critic-rising-gop-star-ben-sasse-now-trump-apologist-ncna1056926)
". . . Ben Sasse is a fifth-generation Nebraskan with the honor of representing the Cornhusker state in the U.S. Senate.  Having never run for anything before, he and his family campaigned tirelessly in a rickety old campaign bus in 2013 and 2014, ultimately winning all of Nebraska's 93 counties in one of the biggest landslides in state history. . . Ben Sasse got the Trump tweet he gave up so much to get. “Senator Ben Sasse has done a wonderful job representing the people of Nebraska,” President Donald Trump tweeted. “He is great with our Vets, the Military, and your very important Second Amendment. Strong on Crime and the Border, Ben has my Complete and Total Endorsement!”. . . it is easy to see Sasse’s surrender as both inevitable and predictable: this is, after all, Trump’s party, and colleagues who refused to bend the knee have been defeated — like Mark Sanford — or forced into retirement — like Sen. Jeff Flake and Sen. Bob Corker. . . If Sasse had remained anti-Trump, he would have faced a primary challenge and possible defeat; a presidential bid would likely have been a kamikaze mission. So he chose survival; another six years in the Senate that gives him a chance to actually outlast the Trump presidency, whenever it ends. . ."

Distorted . . .

https://jasonsimonphotography.weebly.com/distortion.html
In the world
Which was much larger then
At least so it seemed
To me and my friends
We loved many things
Understood a small few
But we always relied
On the big people

Then time
Toil and trouble
Took their toll on our dreams
And little by little
We grew
As we learned more and more
Our perspectives had changed
And we wondered

The big people were good
They surrounded us daily
We believed that all big ones
Were worldly and wise
As our own wisdom flourished
We would slowly conclude
That good things don't come
Always with size

Planet . . .

. . . money, guns . . .



Golden we were all that we touched
Turned in a favorable tide
Life, but we know,
Brings what it may
Think of yourself
But don’t do it too much
Pressing your luck
Go too far

Learning . . .

. . . from history (???)


(from Coolidge by Amity Shales)
". . . Balance was all; wherever there was dispute, or costs, he must nonetheless seek the islands of agreement, the middle ground. If there was to be a war, then finding that middle ground, sacrificing principles for the duration would be even more important. Spending would be especially important, however much Coolidge personally deplored it. . .

What, Me? . . .

There's been a time or two, I'll say
In the two-plus years just hence
When the news and its circumstances
Made me wonder 'where's the sense?'

Is there sense in swindling citizens
Who pursuing knowledge, sought
For a means by which the cost
Would not place them in hock

Is there sense in opening Arctic Seas
Like Beaufort or like Cook
To exploration for oil and gas
Are these civil servants or crooks?

And these are only two examples
Of senselessness and things awry
In our government and in our world
Don't worry though, just cry

Aren't We All . . .


What do I know about happiness
Do I possess some kind of key
To things that no one else can see

Just as far back as my memory goes
Sometimes it seemed I was alone
Only my point of view and me

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique

Others speak out very easily
No fear about who may get hurt
By words so hastily dispensed

For some reason I step back away
I hesitate to be so bold as to
Presume some insight gained

As I reflect
Some disconnect
Could be afflicting me
Am I just one
Under the sun
Or am I quite unique


Unique

Explanation. . .

. . . of tariffs . . .
. . . for those that do not understand . . .


". . . Tariffs are used to restrict imports by increasing the price of goods and services purchased from another country, making them less attractive to domestic consumers. There are two types of tariffs: A specific tariff is levied as a fixed fee based on the type of item, such as a $1,000 tariff on a car. An ad-valorem tariff is levied based on the item's value, such as 10% of the value of the vehicle. . . Governments impose tariffs to raise revenue, protect domestic industries, or exert political leverage over another country. Tariffs often result in unwanted side effects, such as higher consumer prices. Tariffs have a long and contentious history, and the debate over whether they represent good or bad policy rages on to this day. . . "

More Mirrors . . .

. . . and smoke . . .



Can you hear all that I say
Beneath all clever wordplay?
Don’t think that I’m insulting you
That I don’t want your point of view
Working from limited base
So easily losing your place
Why feign a blatant expertise
With no obvious philosophies?

Do you know
What you want
To accomplish here?
Will you go
To the length you say you will
Or is this just all
Smoke and mirrors?

You may just set precedent
with every signal you’ve sent
Why don’t you learn the protocol
To no longer suffer this at all

Say what you mean if you mean it
Do what you feel in your heart
Make it real when you’re speaking your mind

Impressions churning and spray
Like repairs flowing away
Pushing downstream ferociously
Uprooting each obstacle you see



Smoke & Mirrors

Challengers . . .

. . . that you, if you are of the appropriate persuasion, should seriously consider in the forthcoming presidential primaries. . .
Governor of Massachusetts Bill Weld
Former Illinois congressman Joe Walsh, who declared his candidacy on August 25, 2019
Former governor of South Carolina and U.S. representative Mark Sanford
(although two of the three have been involved in their own 'scandals', theirs cannot compare to those perpetrated by the current office holder)


(from https://www.nbcnews.com/think/opinion/enjoy-joe-walsh-s-run-against-trump-2020-nod-he-ncna1047036?cid=referral_taboolafeed)
". . . A recent Monmouth University poll found Trump with just an 84 percent approval rating within the Republican Party, while an AP-NRC poll found the president’s approval to be only 79 president among Republican voters. More broadly, Trump is the only U.S. president whose overall approval has never risen above 50 percent. . . "
