Ok, since I have much better things to do than continually write about, observe and shake my head at the ridiculousness of the executive leadership of our nation, since I prefer to be optimistic and generate hope and happiness, and because I'm very sure that karma will, no doubt, intervene (it is inescapable), I have decided to no longer comment on Donald J. Trump. ...at all. Let the chips fall where they may...(and, for Ghod sakes, Donald, keep your head down, fingers off the Tweet button and mouth closed - so that one of them doesn't land squarely on your orange helmet of hair)! With any amount of luck, this will all be over soon... ^_^

Only a brainless excuse for a law enforcement officer would deport hundreds of taxpayers (illegal or not, they still paid the taxes these rich ass-hats got away with not paying) while costing the rest of the taxpayers millions in legal costs and destroying families - the fact that he ridiculed, bullied and generally treated as non-humans the lot of them...notwithstanding. I wonder who the Republicans expect to pay all the taxes while they keep giving the rich a free pass and keep deporting all the people who pay their taxes (legality aside) and don't partake of any benefits (since they can't) while forcing the unghodly burden of taxes on the rest of middle class Americans? Well, I've been watching this for a long time and I can't wait to see if Arpaio will make it to jail in time to sit in pink underwear in the notorious “Tent City” that his successor is shutting down by the end of this year. Some people just don't get it...(but they usually do in the long run, one way or another)!

Systemic racism...but not in the US (although it has been bad here for centuries). I already knew about this from traveling. There are biases everywhere. In India, it's caste systems, in China, it's ethnicity (Han Chinese being the 'predominant ethnicity), we all know about apartheid South Africa, etc...etc. This is not the behavior of a so-called progressive, advanced society. It's just wrong...

Funny how you hear people on the right claiming that handgun ownership is so they can defend their freedom from a tyrannical government and then, when the left exercises violence as a result of a tyrannical government (led by a right-elected constituency), they say those people are 'violent'. Just a bunch of BS, really...since the left are doing what the right claim they want their guns for, though they don't use their guns for that...and the left want the right to give up their guns so they can elect a government that will mandate obedience from the right. When will all these chickensh!t excuses end and how long until we get back to working things out without violence and acting like human beings again? The progressives really want to know (since there isn't a damned thing progressive about what's been going on for the past few decades)! ;)

I ran across a cover of a Michael Jackson tune I always liked and it was by an a cappella group from India that I never heard of before called 'PAN!C'. There are several bands I like who sing 'a cappella' (a translation might be "in the style of a chapel" - or singing without musical instruments). I'm a big fan of Pentatonix and Duwende (who also do an awesome cover of this tune), as well. I like to see talent from cultures all over the world and people connecting through art and other cultural aspects. It's much better than listening to people argue over their differences! ;) Anyway, check out this group, PAN!C, and see what you think. This is their cover of Michael Jackson's 'Stranger In Moscow':

Looks like balance will be restored pretty soon - either that...or things are probably going to end very poorly! (y) What other option will people have but to promote the benefits that humans (should) have over machines and fill positions that cannot be filled by machines - the benefit of emotion and compassion. I sure wouldn't want to be among those who are void of these skills.

This story kind of makes me wonder what will happen: Will the police acknowledge that many of their officers are a bit too 'trigger happy' - since they're, apparently, shooting at each other now...or will the officer that has already been traumatized by being capped by his fellow officer either 'play along' and be quiet about it or be 'encouraged' not to make a big deal of it? I suppose we will never know... At any rate, at least the criminals were caught and the officers made it out relatively unscathed.

Here's a bit more information that shows how there is (and was) little difference between the Neo-Con Democrats (left-leaning conservatives like Clinton) and the Republican party - basically, one and the same. If this doesn't indicate how different Sanders's platform was from the Democratic party's platform, why he had such a massive following (and was forced out of the race for it - as acknowledged by the Democratic party...who lost), how it was basically useless to vote for either one of the other parties' candidates and why Sanders would have won and is still doing what both of the others should still be doing - but are not - including the President, who was elected to do so...then I can't think of what would convince people.
