Just Thinking…by Jamie Gray 2020-10-13T18:02:32.000Z

I’m not a fan of court packing. Joe Biden just said it (finally). I’ll say it too, because I’m not either. But I’m also not a fan of a polarized, political Supreme Court. Our very democracy depends on the wisdom of impartial, non-partisan justices to evaluate our laws against the template for our government: The Constitution. Nothing is more important.

Full disclosure time. Politically, I’m an apolitical Independent. Given a choice, I’ll stay out of politics. These days, I don’t feel like I have much choice. Life is scary, and I don’t trust ANYONE in power right now more than I trust the American people to #DemandBetter from their leaders. I’m voting for Joe, because the comparison isn’t even close.

Now…assuming the Republicans push through their latest SCOTUS nominee, pushing the Nation’s highest court ‘hard right’, I think court packing could be a solution for the next President. Importantly, I’m not suggesting that Democrats’ pack the court with “liberal” justices to balance out the damage done by the Republicans. No, that would just escalate things, and the makeup of the court will not improve. Instead, Dems need to take the Constitutional high ground, and assuming they gain control of the Senate and Presidency, Democrats need to work to make the court better for everyone, and make sure there’s no reason for the GOP to retaliate.

How you ask? Sounds impossible? Maybe.
But I have some ideas.

Let’s add two new justices. BUT, first, change the laws so that a 2/3 vote is required to confirm ALL lifetime judicial appointments, ensuring the 2 new justices, and all future appointments, will be bipartisan. As they should be. This is America. Courts MUST be impartial and independent.

Adding two new bipartisan judges will add a great deal of balance to the current court, which will still lean slightly conservative, while expanding the 9 seat bench to 11. By making it a law, it will require both houses of Congress and The President to change it…because it should NOT be left up to the Senate to just change the rules on these important appointments, as it is now.

The appointment process can still be changed in the future (hopefully for the better, and with bipartisan agreement) but the temptations..and ability…for one party to try to change the law just to gain a majority in the independent, apolitical and non-partisan high court will certainly shrink.

It’s time we all start thinking about the bigger picture. Beyond politics and parties. It’s time we remember that we can Make America Better, because going backwards is NEVER an actual option. MAGA is just the fear that things can’t get any better than they used to be, and we shouldn’t sell out our future
to fear.

I plan to vote for the future, because MAGA, like everything else that comes from Trump, is a lie.~jg

Footnote: Even if Biden doesn’t have a democratic majority in both houses of Congress, he could still plausibly sell this to some conservative Republicans who still believe in the sanctity of the Supreme Court. Getting it through as a bipartisan effort would be difficult, but Biden says he can work across the aisle…I guess we’ll see

If you agree, #ShareThis
If you disagree, share your thoughts.
Be prepared defend your opinion.
Truthfully, with actual facts and references, please.

Just Thinking…by Jamie Gray 2020-09-30T15:54:34.000Z

If you think Trump is doing a good job managing the Coronavirus pandemic, how many deaths will it take for you to change your mind? How many months of a suppressed economy are you willing to live with, all because infection levels are STILL too high to reopen safely, due to partisan disputes over mask wearing and social distancing fueled by the president?
Because frankly, we could’ve been back to a new normal months ago, if Trump had listened to the experts at the CDC, WHO and NIH and designed one. THAT was his job, to design and construct a new covid-ready normal and help us get there. He Failed. Miserably.
I am personally sickened by Trump’s absolute ineptitude in managing the crisis and his lack of even basic compassion at the resultant loss of life. Every other country in the world has done better than the USA at things that we are supposed to be among the best at: healthcare and crisis management.
Every American should be ashamed of where we find ourselves now, as the rest of the world is deciding between laughing at our President or crying for the American people.

Racism at the Park-N-Ride
Today (yesterday actually), I was having a socially distanced conversation with a good friend at a park-n-ride in Newtown CT. Suddenly, a car full of assholes goes by, shouting racial slurs aimed at the yarmulke wearing jews across the parking lot. On their Sabbath.
Racial hatred in the real white American suburbs is too fucking real, I thought to myself, as my friend found himself apologizing to the nearby travelers for no real reason, other than to show support. To let them know he was horrified. They NEEDED to know.
They said they were used to it.
I was now even more horrified.
Of course I knew there was still racism in America. What I didn’t know is how far we have yet to come to put it in our rear view. That’s pretty clear these days. Once upon a time I thought we were almost there. We are SO NOT almost there, and things are now getting worse. Much worse.
Thanks to Trumpian enabling from his bully pulpit, and make no mistake, Donald Jackoff Trump is a bully…Thanks to his reliance on public hate speech and polarizing rhetoric, regular Americans now feel empowered by this presidential bad example, to become their very worst selves. Anger and hatred that used to be hidden, are exploding in our faces. Violence and hate speech towards minorities of race, faith and gender. It’s sad, and disgraceful. Horrifying.
We ALL need to apologize. Because it’s all of our fault. The years of not saying “we’re horrified” EVERY SINGLE TIME we saw it…the tacit approval…has made it worse, not better.
It’s time we all stop being horrified inside…let it out. Out LOUD. Let them KNOW that racism is not patriotic and hatred is not American.
Diversity and immigration make us stronger. Working together makes us better. Becoming better humans is what America is REALLY about.
American exceptionalism doesn’t have to be a lie, IF it is based on us actually being exceptional, not just trying to get people to believe that we are. Being ‘Exceptional’ is a big BIG job. It means educating every child with the BEST education. Exceptional means having the BEST healthcare for EVERY American, not just the rich white ones. In a truly exceptional America, no one would be going hungry or homeless before the first American had a billion dollars in their checking account.
An actual more perfect union would be exceptional too. Our founders gave us the building blocks to create it, but we have to choose to overcome our short-sighted human nature, and adapt it to the tasks at hand. That’s the true beauty of our government…that ability to change. Adapt.
Are we doing that? Nope. Instead, we’re somehow still fighting the Civil War, 150 years after the good guys supposedly won. Shit is getting bad…if you haven’t noticed. Our melting pot is on the edge of melting down because, after all this time we STILL haven’t done what we said we would do.
Liberty and Justice for ALL. Rich white people generally get to ‘pursue happiness’ but most regular Americans just pursue survival and next months rent.
So, now I get that white people are a little afraid. I mean…We’ve been complete fucking assholes for 300 years or more, so we probably should be afraid. Yet, I think there’s a safe way out. An actual easy answer: Just Change Things. Fix it. Do something for REALZ, and nobody gets hurt. We ALL win. White, black, brown, gay, straight, religious, atheist…ALL of us.
Because Jewish lives matter. Black lives matter. Every Life Matters. And Yes…Police lives matter very much. Most cops are brave and awesome souls. They may just need to be a little braver right now.
Our police officers need to be brave enough to be horrified too, and horrified enough that the blue wall of silence doesn’t matter. That racial justice and harmony matter more to ALL of us, than silence to protect a few haters with badges.
We can..no, we MUST choose to decide that all of us are in this together. That we are ONE America, not Two. We are The UNITED States of America, and anyone who would seek to divide us is not worthy of being an American, much less the Office of The President.

Just Thinking…by Jamie Gray 2020-07-08T18:37:00.000Z

I am sad.
So many people are dying.
I am sad because the deaths are unnecessary.
I am sad because every other developed country in the world has managed to avoid this kind of uncontrolled pandemic, while America flounders; the Great USA failing worse than third world dictatorships at managing the outbreak.
I am sad because simple things, like wearing masks and social distancing can save lives, but people are being told they have “a choice”, instead of a responsibility to respect the rights of others.
I am sad because it seems that so many Americans are so easily convinced that science is a lie, and that impossible claims that could never plausibly be true are accepted, without question, as The Truth.
I am sad that so much hate still exists in the world, a world that is clearly depending on humanity coming together to save us from our own self-destructive nature.
I am sad that we, as a species have not figured out how to overcome greedy self interest and put humanity above nation-states or corporate directors.
I am sad every day.
I am also hopeful.
Because I believe in humanity. In people.
I believe that good leaders can learn to put people first. ALL people.
I believe in US. We the People are good. We all have a moral compass, and we know what we are seeing is wrong. We cannot allow ourselves to believe it, when people in power tell us that the heinous is acceptable. The masses cannot be collateral damage for the wealthy and privileged, to be exploited and profitted on.
No…We The People are an INVESTMENT in the future of humanity, not a drain on their profits of the well financed, and its about time our governments started acting like it. When they do, maybe some of this fucking sadness will fade.
Until then, I will probably keep crying everyday for practically no reason at all. I am sad…but I think being sad is pretty fucking healthy, given the obvious state of things.
In fact, I’d worry about you if you’re not sad.~jg

To all you fuckers who couldn’t bear to stay home for Memorial Day, thanks for ruining July 4th, too. We could be almost back to relative normal, like the rest of the world. Instead, the rest of humanity is laughing at our collective stupidity, as we’re just beginning to see the effects that 4 weeks of “reopen or die” hath wrought upon our lives. No other country has been hit this hard by #coronavirus, and all of it preventable. Here we are anyway.
#Lockdown2 is upon us, and THIS time, let’s stop listening to idiots and get it fucking RIGHT!

Just Thinking…by Jamie Gray 2020-06-27T01:01:55.000Z

I’ve been watching (from lockdown) as the COVID-19 pandemic launches into an exponential growth phase, all because everyone just decided the outbreak was over…or was just a hoax. They thought it would be safe to reopen. Smart even. Good for the economy. They got that idea because leadership of our country TOLD THEM that was the truth.
It’s becoming clear it was NOT the truth. Everyone has been lied to, and now thousands are going to die who didn’t have to.
It was GREAT for the ‘the economy’ if you mean the rich people. They made millions off government handouts intended to help businesses that were in actual need, while 42,000 Americans lost their jobs and business after business closed for good because PPP funds were denied.
125,000 Americans have now died from CoronaVirus. South Korea had their first case at the same time the US did, and only 300 people died because everyone understood the importance of Social Distancing and wearing a mask. They listened to their government leaders, who had the same information from China and WHO that the US Government had and told them the right thing to do, not what was politically convenient.
You can’t blame China. American deaths aren’t China’s fault. How did South Korea manage to do such a good job with the same info from the Chinese?
No, China wasn’t the problem. But Trump has been wrong from day one, imagining the virus would magically go away. He’s been wrong about it being a hoax, a conspiracy to bring his presidency down. He’s been wrong about masks and testing and…well, everything. This pandemic is real, and people are dying who didn’t have to die. Still, the ignorant buffoon denies the science, refuses to wear a mask or admit the experts are right.
No wonder Trump doesn’t want to count the infected. Their blood is on his hands…and there’s a LOT of blood. 125,000 American souls, who should be alive today…their deaths are his fault.
His guilt is obvious.
His ignorance is blatant.
The must be a consequence for this willful ignorance and the resultant murder of American citizens by a fool elected to the highest office.
Also folks…we need to be MUCH more selective in choosing our leaders. When Joe Biden looks GREAT when compared to the alternative, our bar is pretty fucking low. I mean, I’ll vote for him, but I won’t inhale. ~jg

I read a story not long ago about dairies and farms dumping milk because they had no place to sell it thanks to #CoronaVirus. I was like, #WTF?!
Today, we were talking about stocking the pantry with powdered milk for emergency rations (and how expensive it is), and I’m like, BAM! Why the fuck don’t they turn it into powdered milk which lasts like forever, instead of dumping it?
Seriously…Am I wrong, or shouldn’t there be huge supplies of powdered milk available…and cheap?

Once upon a time…
Some shit went down. Lessons were learned. Some of them lived happily ever after. Whatever the fuck that means.
Others died. Not every ending is happy. Not every story needs a moral.
Oh, what the hell: Life is short. Now this one has three.
The End.

A message of post-impeachment-fail hope?

As the complicit GOP controlled US Senate acquits the most corrupt president in my lifetime, for obvious high crimes he has openly admitted to, I can’t help wonder what’s next for America. What will this illiterate ignoramus do next? Now that he has seemingly unlimited license to fuck up our country…our planet, even as he destroys our nation’s reputation with all but the most corrupt leaders of the world, what’s next for the USA? How can this possibly do anything except implode?
Yet, in my darkest reflections, I grasped upon an unusually hope-filled glimmer: Yes…I actually think our Republic is strong enough to recover, no matter how much damage this dumbfuck dildo of a sub-human being causes.
How can it be, you wonder?
Look. Drastic begets drastic. The more polarity, the more disruptive the party in power becomes, the bigger the eventual backlash.
There’s gonna be some serious backlash for this bullshit facade of leadership graft, once the truth comes out. The truth WILL come out. Bigly. It always does.
75% of America thought there should have been witnesses. That implies 75% of America knows this was a sham trial. Many of us think our government is so broken, it may be irreparable. Let’s hope we’re wrong, and can make things right before they break for realz.
Vote. Serve, if you dare. Get involved if you can. Politicians don’t make America great…Americans do. People. Of all shades and spirit guides. All of US make America, not the assholes in Washington (Dems and GOP) who put profits and party above people.
This is a sad day for our country. I truly don’t care which party you vote for. I do care if our votes become worthless because our elections have been rigged. There are 51 Senators who don’t deserve their seats. Many of them are running in November. Let’s all help America do the right thing and teach these fuckers not to fuck with us. Teach them who REALLY has the power here.
#Vote Even if you think it’s a waste of time. It’s not. Not this year. They need to hear us.

It’s all about obstruction.

Trump has blocked most witnesses with first-hand knowledge of his actions, then tries to claim all of the testimony given by others is ‘hearsay’, which while a thing in legal practice, is not relevant to impeachment. Of course, if he were actually innocent of these accusations, he’d be sending the witnesses with first hand knowledge of his innocence to testify in short order, so it’s pretty clear there is no one with first hand knowledge who could HELP him by testifying. Bury him more like it. Because if they tell the truth, he knows he will definitely be impeached…and likely removed.

So here we are. The good news is that it’s a clear case of obstruction, so the reality is that the other stuff barely even matters. Yup…Trump could be impeached solely on obstruction, even if no crime was ever committed. Because that’s how obstruction works…the obstructor blocks the prosecution of a crime…which is why obstruction is a crime itself. Of course, because why would an innocent person block an investigation?

I wonder…Has anyone asked Trump that?

Just Thinking…by Jamie Gray 2019-11-11T17:45:42.000Z

One of the biggest problems in American politics, is that one religious group in particular has an undue amount of political influence… specifically the far right, full gospel Jesus-Should-Be-President, Christians. These folks think that Christianity has some implied special rights under our Constitution because of America’s roots in the religion; this despite the historically verified, clearly secular (non-religious), intentions of the founders, many of whom were non-Christians who preferred to stay that way.

Modern day evangelicals think a lot of other things that are a little bit tricky to understand…but this is not about bashing industrial strength Christianity or the hypocrisy therein. It’s about America. It’s about all of us.

America doesn’t have a state religion and never should. Here you are free to believe in anything or anyone you want, or nothing at all. Yet modern Christian leaders, in their quest to make America the ‘New Jerusalem’…or maybe just bring on the End of Days…use the authority of the pulpit to proclaim ‘God’s chosen candidates’, so their sheep know who to vote for without having to actually think about it. The power of these leaders is multiplied exponentially by the tax-free money they ply politicians with, and the complacency of their followers, who will do whatever they are told to avoid hell and reach The Good Place…and politicians know it.

Trump knew it. He’s president because of it. Because people who call themselves followers of Jesus told their followers that Trump was the chosen candidate to vote for. God’s choice for president.
It seems to me that a true God would want people to think for themselves. A real God would want people who believe in goodness and righteousness for its own sake, not for fear of punishment or hope of reward. Seems to me that a real Christian pastor, follower of Jesus’ teachings, would be warning their flock of false leaders and liars, not suggesting they reelect the fucking anti-christ…the reality TV version of the devil’s own in the oval office.

WTF Evangelicals?!? Are you trying to bring about the apocalypse? Because I don’t think that was John’s intention behind writing Revelations, and I don’t believe that any righteous God would see fit to annoint a cheating, lying criminal as Their Own.

Please wake up. It’s right in The Book. Jesus said it, His words not mine. Don’t be sheep led to slaughter by prosperity gospel pundits, who seek to profit on your blind belief by abusing your faith.

You’ve been warned.

“Then if anyone says to you, ‘Behold, here is the Christ,’ or ‘There He is,’ do not believe him. For false Christs and false prophets will arise and will show great signs and wonders, so as to mislead, if possible, even the elect.Behold, I have told you in advance.”
