Ponderable

Donald is the Fredo of the Trump family.
Father and son. And other son.

Frankly, they've got no Michael, or Sonny. Or Vito. Or Connie.

Sure, you could claim Ivanka as Connie, with the complicity, but Connie was smart. Ever read some of Ivanka's tweets? "My eight month old son is so wonderful. Happy Birthday!" Something damn close to that.

The nincompoops can smugly correct me on her actual tweet. I'm sure I took it completely out of context in their safe bubble Fox World. And fellas, don't forget to assign the manila folder emoji to this post.
 
Yesterday I met with a potential customer in my office. We started talking political shit and he throws out about how stupid college campuses are and it is a sign of the decay in America.

Today I am on a campus that is 125 years old at the Homecoming fair. There are people of all ages. Current students, alumni, mascot, kids and dogs. And pop up tents with all the clubs, Greeks, official school stuff and of course the school radio station on speakers through the whole thing. The clubs range from the benign transfer club for transferring in students to the debate club. You can talk to the right wing group or go down three booths to the Back Students Union. School t-shirts in all sizes. A Black Lives Matter shirt ten feet from "I stand for our flag" shirt.

Nothing but smiles and good natured fun.

We will be just fine.

Gov Jerry Brown is freaking out since the President turned off the Financial
spigot that funds the majority of Calcare and portions of it were being diverted to
the Unfunded Pension Plans that he separated from the budget to make it look as if
he balanced it.....
You will only see Gov Jerry howl louder as the finances run out and the Pensioners
start to put pressure on him.....
Wait til the Gas Tax increase on Wed Nov 1st kicks in...that's going to be a Reality
check to every citizen in California that you've been screwed ! Again !
 
And, his job is to take care of his state and the residents of.

His job is to fund the State Unions and the Unfunded Pensions or his head will be on a plate...
The shell game is about to be exposed...
We are going to be living a form of Venezuela financial collapse if we stay on Gov Jerry's course.

Many good points, a few myopic and some wide reaching, but I see the proliferation of extreme propaganda as one of the main things tearing us apart, "Vote for us cuz they'll eat your children!" and secondly the massive influx of money into politics, at times into small local contests by large entities with huge amounts of funding. Get the money out and somehow bring facts and reality back into the picture. The fact that the jade helm/pizzagate/deflection/whataboutism/tabloid way of thinking has made it's way into the picture in anyway is disgusting. It use to be a small side show, now for some it is the main show, and the believe and defend it. Like a cancer it can spread to the less engaged and unengaged as it has.

"Decades ago, consumers mobilized to make cars and household appliances safer. With the proliferation of news sources and the potential for deceptive news to wreak harm, a new generation of consumers should mobilize to demand similarly high standards for the news that commands our time and attention."

Do I get two stickers for liking your post?
 

Oh and look here another mandate!! Shocking!!

In the interest of a more functional nation, then, I propose a new high school requirement. Every student should be required to take, not a course in foreign culture — not a course in Italian food, or Japanese gardens, or Central American weaving — but a course on the nature of culture: on meta-culture. We could call it Identity 101

2 for 2 mandates.

I found myself surprised by ideas I found a bit whacky and then needing to step back and understand my predisposed concepts gave me a very pointed view of them and why that was not necessarily helpful. Mostly those based on religion and the feeling of attack some of those on the right feel towards new norms. There is a lot of fear there for folks.

I was most surprised not to see the structural pair of ideas that I think would in a bipartisan way make the most significant impact on the national stage. Ending gerrymandering and installing term limits on the House of Representatives.
 

But if we seek one simple thing to do for a start, maybe we could make ourselves more receptive to the music of accommodation, particularly by abstaining from the blare of vain and vicious animosity. If only as a marker of our desire to do this, we should each commit to staying away from social media for a month this coming year.

Okay. All you clowns are on ignore for a month. Friend or Foe.
