Right wing terrorist have been vandalizing cities with prominent BLM protest so Trump can send in the National Guard. This is an all out attempt by Christian Nationalist to destroy democracy. The time for being nice and politically sensitive is over. The people calling the loudest for "Law and Order" are doing so after creating the chaos they claim they want to put down. This is epic and it's NOW and it's dangerous as hell. I expect a shit load of bloodshed the next couple of weeks, please watch out for yourselves, the American Nazis aren't coming, they're here and they control the White House, the Senate, and now the courts. These are the times that try the human soul.

Has The Trump Civil War Begun? - YouTube

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 27, 2020:

We've been knowing this was going on. BLM is a peaceful movement, because it has to be. These right wing jack offs are using tactics from Charlie Manson's play book and it's been clear as vodka since the beginning. It's the Reichstag fire all over again. This isn't independent of Trump, he's behind it and counting on it. That's why he was trying his best to strong arm Governors to let him send in the National Guard. This is a concerted effort to destroy Democracy.

A REAL president speaks.

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 27, 2020:

I just find it depressing that a fully qualified competent rational woman was passed over to put this shit stain in office. They can kill me but I'll spout truth and resentment until everything Trump dies just as a quarter million of my fellow citizens have. No one in this administration should be allowed to work anywhere in any capacity for their contribution to this criminal endeavor to destroy Democracy.

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 27, 2020:

She's part of a plot by the administration to steal the election. This is why Trump is still talking shit and sounding confident, he thinks his lackey's will just take it for him. I know if they try there will be a huge civil unrest that will not end until the stink of this administration is entirely purged.

How are you coping with the new realities?

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 27, 2020:

My experience is that you can never go back home again. The new normal is typically the persistent normal. Humans crave stability in an unstable world. They frequently sacrifice almost everything to maintain a sense of continuity in their life. I am where I am, for good or ill, and when things change they'll change, but they never return to some old version of normal. For me mask are now normal, isolation is normal, I'm learning to embrace that.

We never have, but in this case I’ll argue we should because she’s clearly not what the majority of Americans want. Then again she may surprise us like Gorsuch did when he and the court agreed that the 1964 civil rights act, article 7, protected the LGBTQ community from being fired despite the fact that Trump nominated him.

I am a death-row executioner

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 23, 2020:

Much to the surprise of many who, logically, would assume that shortening someone's life should be cheaper than paying for it until natural expiration, it turns out that it is actually cheaper to imprison someone for life than to execute them. In fact, it is almost 10 times cheaper! One might ask, “how can that be?” Every state that has a death penalty also has an intricate system and basis for appeals. These appeals can relate to everything from due process claims to equal protection (minorities are convicted at far higher rates than whites) and, most famously, to the cruel and unusual punishment prohibition of the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The result? In California, the slowest state in the Union, the average wait time for someone sentenced to death is 20 years between conviction and execution. The national average is just under nine years. And, while all of this waiting is going on, the process has not ground to a halt. Quite the opposite, in fact. The appeals process consumes hours of labor, not only by court staff, but also by the often court-appointed, tax payer funded, and constitutionally guaranteed public defenders. As a result, some estimate that it costs U.S. taxpayers between $50 and $90 million dollars more per year (depending on the jurisdiction) to prosecute death penalty cases than life sentences. A number of states have taken notice of this fact, particularly in the wake of the “Great Recession.” As state budgets shrank, unnecessary expenditures, even ones that are usually fairly politically popular like the death penalty, found themselves on the chopping block. Several states decided that the cost was unreasonable and decided to either enact a ban on death penalty cases or change the law to eliminate it as a possible sentence all together. Another reason many states have seen skyrocketing costs and have considered banning the death penalty: DNA evidence. Genetic testing is not terribly cheap, nor are the experts required to testify about the results. But, now that hundreds have been exonerated as a result of genetic testing, it is clear that it is an invaluable tool in the criminal process and has helped to prevent innocent men from facing death for crimes they did not commit. Therefore, despite the expense, DNA testing is here to stay despite adding to the expense of a death penalty case. Death penalty trials are more expensive for several other reasons, as well. They often require additional attorneys, including some with specific levels of experience who are “death penalty certified.” Needless to say, these attorneys tend to command higher salaries than first year public defenders. Security costs are often higher for death penalty cases, both in the courtroom and in prison where death ...

So did Mell Tillis but he was a talented musician and singer, I hate country music but I have to give credit where it’s due. The point is the man has always had a stutter yet look what he’s achieved in respect and national recognition, oh I’m talking about Biden. **RESPECT**

Guess Trumps' Twitter password ?

Just remember, national health care is national wealth care. Take it from an unfortunate cancer survivor that can only afford to live in her car.

That's why I keep telling him to go F himself.

Credit is a financial tool used by people who don't know how to manage or budget their money.

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 22, 2020:

Necessary evil, try getting cancer and not having credit. At the point you become ill, your fortune has been squandered because our countrymen are too greedy for national health care, and they'll go broke as well unless they're lucky enough to die quickly. Medical bills keep me doing sleep overs in my car. I was unfortunate enough to survive cancer, and that's the most American thing I've said all day.

Jesus saves doesn't matter.

They welcome all groups that oppose liberal democracy. Birds in cages think that flying is a sickness.

Who wants to bet on Trump trying to physically charge across the stage at Biden during the debate?

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 22, 2020:

I bet he won't because I bet he can't. It would be "The Blob" remake.

I'm listening, live, to Barack Obama adressing a public meeting in Pennsylvania.

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 22, 2020:

It's kind of shocking to hear a politician that's not either babbling incoherently or taking us on the way back machine to 1973 when I had only been in Washington for thirty years, just a youngster from Scranton. The last debate sounded like the Odd Couple reunion at the nursing home. Considering this election is between Statler and Waldorf, I look at their running mates. For certain Harris is preferable to Pence. With the senior killing Trump virus I prefer to think of the administration I vote for is represented by the VP. At least Biden respects Science and education, and he's kind and concerned with the welfare of citizens. Biden's my favorite TV Grandpa. Trump is my favorite Scrooge, easily replacing Adolph in my collection of realistic Jungian archetype figurines.

I am FURIOUS.

I care. I suffer from Crohn's disease. An inflation of the bowl. I’m 61, so I guess I’m an old crone for real. I’m feeling my destiny is to become a crazy cat lady, or early organ donor. I was always a loner, but the isolation is getting to be a bit much.

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 22, 2020:

Then why was the FBI loosing their shit when Apple refused to unlock the telephone of the San Bernardino terrorist a couple of years ago. Make law enforcement work for it. It’s ok if they get in when they have reason to work that hard, but gives them a barrier to abusing the capability. It’s a difficulty check against tyranny. Just know there’s reasons Trump keeps hosting his shit show, it’s so his cabinet can tear America apart for profit and Christianity. It’s a lethal mix of poison designed to kill the American dream of a free and wealthy society. It is their objective to keep as many uneducated and poor as possible because it’s all or nothing for them. There are enough of us that working together we can overcome most of these problems, but our first priority has to be to remove the cancer that’s killing us. November 3rd.

Lotsa talk about God/not God.

Willow_Wisp comments on Oct 21, 2020:

God evolved with human hubris. The older the God the more mortal they seem. To get an “All powerful God” took time and a growing sense of relative invulnerability in the minds of men. When great beast might prey on you and the climate was harsher you couldn’t be sure if your next hunt would be your last. Hurn the Hunter was good enough for Celts living in Britannia. He could fend for himself, that was his God power, and being immortal. Then they started taking on cosmic consequences like the convoluted associations of the River Nile and seasons with Osiris. The Hebrew God started off as a volcano God. He mutated as culture changed into something akin to a Cosmic Consciousness reflecting how smug we are when we compare ourselves to our Bronze Age ancestors. It’s all truly organic, very great apish.
