Today, you might want to know that Stanford University now considers the word "American" to be triggering bad vibes and so it should be replaced by US Citizen. After all, aren't Chileans Americans and Canadians Americans, in the sense that they are from the Americas? We live in a wonderful time when a garbage man is now a sanitation engineer and a hooker is a relationship therapist. And by the way, the Republicans and Democrats are both utterly corrupt. Which one is more corrupt than another. You know, not that long ago, I had a conversation with a young woman who works for the Ukrainian Rada. (For those unfamiliar with Ukraine, the Rada is the Ukrainian Congress or Parliament.) I asked her how many of the members she thought were honest and actually had integrity. We were walking through Berlin at night, the former GDR section of Berlin which was behind the Berlin Wall. She finally said she thought about 25 of the member of the Rada were truly honest. Then, we both agreed that most governments were probably about the same, mostly corrupt. And then I asked her, so you got the Covid shot because those people recommended it?

I pray for less vitamin discussions. Meet Christmas!

Perhaps being an expat helps perspective. There are chances at reform but your references put their finger on the Courts. The R's will need to hone lawfare to a much higher level. Mark Elias of the D's has done a remarkable job in "reforming" elections so that both sides must develop even better cheating means to crank out ballots. But as your writers note the Uniparty is not likely to really want change to their sinecures. Anything that threatens that strikes a nerve. The mere fact that so many were re-elected in spite of the worst economy in a generation tells me normality can't exist.

So enjoy your sojourn. I will try my best to challenge and hope to convince a few that we must demand better. Then again, my horizon is quite short, arriving faster each passing day.

You can't resist a poke at Democrats. Let's see them match:

4 indictment referrals for the ex-President, many more indictments likely for GA, classified docs, etc coming

This week: House representative to be George Santos who ran and won a House seat in NY based on lies about his background

Also this week: Trump's IRS Commissioner failing to follow the law on auditing a sitting President's tax returns

Again this week: Stefan Passantino, Trump's "ethics" lawyer advising Cassidy Hutchinson to "not recall" things in testimony when she, in fact, did recall them.

I could dig a lot deeper into the past, but I think you get the idea. Although, occasionally Democrats find a corrupt member, it is nothing on the scale of recent Republican scandals.

The Democrats are worse scum because they have murdered millions of people by forcing them to take an experimental injection (called a vaccine) and we still don't know the long term consequences. About 8% of those vaccinated have had serious medical issues that required hospitalization or doctor visits, and about 500,000 have died. The signal is there, but the Biden people don't give a fuck who they kill. They mandated the military, every single member of the armed forces, to get injected. Why do they want to destroy the US military? Is it a payoff for the Chinese Communist Party? Of did they do it because they're all the World Economic Forum cult and they want the elites to rule the world? Only the US military can stop the WEF. And it's been compromised.

Trump is dogshit. I despise that guy, but the crimes that the Democrats have committed could wreck the world. Trump is just a condo salesman lying through his teeth to sell one more condo.

I can't even if you really believe the vaccine killed millions. Only about 1 million total died in the US, pretty much all from COVID.

I think there was a guy, now who was that? Oh yeah! Lavrenti Pavles dze Beria was his name "Show me the man and I'll show you the crime". https://michaelsavage.com/stalins-head-of-secret-police-show-me-the-man-and-i-will-show-you-the-crime/. Given how all the politician regardless of party mange to become multi-millionaires working on a modest government salary, having never actually worked a real job for any length of time, well given that, one might find a lot of crime if you looked for it. And those in the club never will look. (Well maybe a few would, but the others would stop that right away).

Nope trotting out Trump's purported sins won't fly. He is likely the cleanest of them all given his stuff has been constantly under investigation. Of course, "they" won't stop. He has to be dirty ('cause we all are) and we will go to ends of earth to find something. After all Trump is not a club member. He isn't owned by big money donors. (Or he wasn't at first).

Sadly, his persona is rather crude and he rarely think before he speaks but he was sincere in his attempts to improve things. The swamp bit back hard and he can never be part of the corruption club. Making money in the real economy is too much work for the club.

It's a remarkable country, the US. Do you know that 90% of the children in the US are above average? Did you know that 70% of Americans rate themselves above average drivers? Did you know also that Americans consider themselves in the top 5% of the wealthy? That's not in the world, but in the US. I love America where 300 million people are above average delusional.
