YouTube video by Brandon Van Dyck Michael Brooks takes a question on Israel

“So it’s not a complex issue. That’s the big thing, it’s super simple. There’s one group that has enormous power, is the most powerful country in the Middle East, it’s backed by the US, it acts on another population w/ total impunity and is never held accountable for anything.” -Michael Brooks, 2020

The irony of Trump firing the Commissioner for the Bureau of Labor Statistics, claiming without evidence that the data was skewed for political reasons, is that now he will find someone who will skew data for political reasons.

Former President Obama literally said:

“We salute the rank, not the person.”

Here’s the unfortunate part, Nixon’s VP pardoned him after the resignation. So when Trump knows that he is cornered and that Vance is his only ticket out of the mess through a pardon, he will find a way to resign.

Just a prediction, but the Epstein files will be Trump’s Watergate. Trump will resign like Nixon when he knows there is no way out. Just as how Nixon’s own party slowly constricted him out of power, now the Republicans can do the same with Trump.

Nixon walked so Trump could run. Nixon proclaimed that if a President does something, it is not illegal. Trump wants to make that a reality.

However, the irony follows. Nixon had to resign when he was being cornered in the Watergate cover-up. The buck stops with the President.

The Man in the Middle. Service today at church had such a great lecture. Thank you Pastor Wilfong.

Everyone is so close to realizing it: Trump ran for President because he wanted to use the power of the Presidency to protect himself. He used it to protect himself from prosecution, and now he is using it to delete incriminating evidence against himself like the Epstein files.

Someone press skip chapter so we can go into class consciousness.

5 episodes of Ace Attorney back to back, alright, I can definitely see how anime can really make time fly by.

Just started a 7-day trial of Crunchy Roll to try anime for the first time. Let's see what happens... or how lost I get trying to navigate anime culture.

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

Did I just hear Mike Johnson say that rights are derived by God and not by government? If I heard right, then why are the vulnerable, the elderly, the immigrant, the people of color, and the poor all treated as less than humans under this GOP budget?

Republicans are still trying to pass their Big Betrayal Bill.

They held the previous vote open for hours—and STILL don’t have their shit together.

Maybe the problem isn’t the vote count. Maybe it’s the bill.

You can hold the vote open all night…trash is still trash.

Mexico vs USA in these times makes it that much more historic and iconic. Mexico will prevail. It’s personal, not just a game.

The GOP is holding this big vote like they want to hold general elections. If the vote count isn’t to their liking, they will hold it open until the numbers match what they want.

A government that abandoned the vulnerable, attacked the defenseless, and abused its authority… is terrifyingly similar to the kind of government that compelled the United States to declare independence. Quite ironic given that it is about to be the 4th of July.

The fan theories written there are fun to think about. I found more resonating the parallels depicted through the whole show.

"At its core, I believe Squid Game depicts the message clearly: individualism in this world, or indifference if we want to call it that instead, kills democracy."

Squid Game, especially seasons 2 and 3, mirrors the U.S. election cycles post-Citizens United v FEC almost exactly. I hope more people see the parallels. Elections aren’t inherently evil, they’re corrupted. Like children’s games aren’t evil, but when hijacked by the greedy, they become bloodsports.

"Squid Game, season 3" presented by Experian has much irony in it, I do not know where to start by wording it.

Ranked-choice voting works. New York demonstrated it loud and clear.

Is it really so controversial to say that all persons, every single person, deserves a dignified, healthy, happy life from birth to grave?

First time back on a soccer field in a while. Practiced for perhaps a good 2 hours, and I’m pretty glad to feel strong all things considered. Awesome!

United Nations translators need more credit and recognition than they are already given.

“The Sum of All Fears” (2002) is a movie that everyone should watch.

In summary, the movie presents the following question:
What happens if a lost nuclear payload fell into terrorist hands, and they used that nuclear weapon to pit two nuclear nationals on a collision course to destroy each other?

I will be checking it frequently, too. It is tragically unfortunate.

I’m going to take a guess that it is now less than 60 seconds to midnight once the new doomsday clock comes out.

Impeach and remove T**** from office. The People of the United States did not want another war.

Learn from Bush’s lies and how it entangled the US in a long, drawn out war build on false pretenses.

The anti-immigration bills in North Carolina have been vetoed. That’s a victory. The next battle is the veto override. Once the veto holds an override vote, the bills are dead.
