Mike Pence Responds To Trump On TV
Is Mike Pence a sort of "Quisling"?
My guess is you could call him that.

Reagan's tough talk was just that, talk, later in the week after he discovered that air traffic controllers weren't all that easy to replace, he quietly began hiring them back at almost twice the salary. Some tough guy eh? After all, would you fly on a plane knowing that underqualified novice air controllers were now on the job? Most people chose not to fly and that put even more pressure on Reagan to hire back the experienced people he'd just fired. To their credit, they refused to come back at the same pay.

We don't get enough world news in the U.S. which is why we often go for various political scams like the invasion of Iraq (remember WMD claims?). Of course, such news outfits are biased but all news outfits have biases, so unless you have the chops and knowledge sufficient to sort fact from fiction, you should probably just pass this kind of stuff by.

Now you see that Trump is just a childishly irrational self-interested psychopath, anyone who saw him as a leader was simply being fooled by not paying attention. Without his "moneyman" Alan, his entire organization is slowly circling the drain.

The mean-spirited, massive drive to cut down the vote, state by state
By Wendy Weiser

Following is a lecture by Weiser at Pitzer College May 1, 2012
My topic for today is the battle over voting rights in 2012. I will start by telling you about one casualty of that battle—Jill Cicciarelli.
Jill Cicciarelli is a high school civics teacher in New Smyrna Beach, Florida, whose job includes preparing students for civic life. Last fall, Ms. Cicciarelli was notified that her name had been forwarded to the Secretary of State for violating Florida’s election laws, meaning she could face $1000 in fines and other penalties. Her offense: setting up a voter registration table at her school that helped about 50 eligible students register to vote.
What Ms. Cicciarelli did last fall was the same thing she had been doing for years, and something I hope many of you will consider doing as well. She told the Daytona Beach News Journal, “I just want them to be participating in our democracy. The more participation we have, the stronger our democracy will be.”
But what she didn’t know was that Florida had just passed a law requiring anyone who helps others register to vote to jump through a series of hoops or face hefty fines and other legal consequences.
To comply with this new law, even before setting up a voter registration table in the school auditorium, Ms. Cicciarelli would have had to register online with the state as a “third party voter registration organization,” and to sign an affidavit warning her about all the possible felonies involved in voter registration. She would also have had to ensure that each of the students who were helping her with the drive signed that affidavit, so that she could submit their affidavits to the state. She would then have had to wait for the state to assign her a special number. Once she got the number, that number would have had to be stamped or written on all the forms she used for her drive. At that point, she could have set up her table to help students register to vote. But that’s not all. She would also have had to track the forms that she and her student volunteers handed out so that she could report to the state each month what happened to those forms, whether or not they were used for voter registration. And after helping students fill out registration forms, she would have had to ensure that each form reached state election officials within 48 hours, no matter how far in advance it was of an election. If she was even a minute late, she would face a $50 fine per form. READ MORE

In Europe, the theory about the American political problems is that they are due to America's lack of universal healthcare which is denying Americans the professional help they so obviously need.

Biden Declines Trump's Request To Withhold White House Records From Jan....
If Trump wants to play "hardball" then hey, let him file because then Justice will be entitled to depose him, hahaha and we all know what that means.
Every time Trump wants to file a challenge, he should be subject to being deposed! That will likely end all these challenges. But things should not even go that far because according to the law Trump lost his standing once he left office.

You can be exempt from protection from the disease but remember, once infected you become a spreader. So, if you don't get the vaccine you can't be around people who might either infect you or who you might infect.
Finland limits Moderna COVID-19 vaccine
With over 1 Billion doses administered, it's hardly an excuse not to vaccinate for want of less than a few hundred problems, most especially since not all complaints are actually the result of the vaccine.
