Alison Hartson - the shape of US politics to come!

Save the planet. We've all been on notice since "Silent Spring" and have done little to head off disaster. Now we have a President who cares more about money than having a planet to live on. How sad it is when we have a President as an example to our children of what not to grow up to be.

We have to spawn real hope for the young - every day they witness growing problems with sustainability issues. In short it is time to breathe fresh hope in peace. We have to learn to CARE more again - together !

its is patently clear the US system is riddled with corruption - it is a farce to say it offers a democratic system. For too long the politicians have been a front for aiding vested interests. Inequality is rife as the "fat cats" indulge to excess!

Wasn't just Rome but also Greek, Egyptian,etc . Those, then, in power and with affluence practised debauchery, corruption, extreme human rights abuses, etc etc. They could do or command ANYTHING at a whim. They fell and WE ARE NOT IMMUNE! When a, relatively, small "elite" has more wealth than a number of countries we are in strife ! It's heading right our way sooner than most think!

Inspired young people rising to the challenge of educating "dumb-ass" politicians ! This is exactly what is needed as these active young souls will inherit our legacy and our massive mistakes ! Never be daunted especially by idiots in high office !

Trump, the twerp, wants to stand and gush over "his military toys" and the troops (your sons and daughters) who will fight the wars HE WAS EXCUSED FROM ON HEALTH GROUNDS!! Then remember the "ghosts" - vets lost, maimed, wrecked that he and his mates have forgotten - they are screwed! Trump wants a parade for puffery and SELF grandiosity. Deny him the chance !

It is said that "self praise is no recommendation" but in this statement Trump got it half right -many are, and were, idiots but the real sad part is more than a few are intent on remaining idiots! This includes the US womenfolk who support him after his filthy, foul-mouthed CONTINUING behavior! He needs to be criminally charged!

"Attempted murder" is how one analyst described the medical center's decision to leave an incapacitated young woman at a bus stop in frigid weather

"Are you comfortable with having Jared Kushner be the beneficiary of huge amounts of Israeli financing at the same time he's overseeing U.S. foreign policy on Israel?"

"We must act together. And we must act strategically. 2018 is the year the people fight back like never before."

Early in Richard Nixon’s presidency, he told his chief of staff Bob Haldeman that his secret strategy for ending the Vietnam War was to threaten the use of nuclear weapons. Nixon opined that President Eisenhower’s nuclear threats in 1953 brought a quick end to the Korean War, and that he planned to use the same principle of threatening maximum force. Nixon called it the “madman theory,” getting the North Vietnamese to “believe…I might do anything to stop the war.” More

House Speaker Paul Ryan deleted a tweet Saturday touting the GOP tax overhaul after critics called him out for appearing out of touch with the reality of low-income individuals' financial situations.

It's Time For Corporate America To Stand Up To Republican Climate Deniers "AND SO SAY ALL OF US"! Not much money to be made, after all, when all the liquidity is in the tight-fisted hands of the few! This is where and when the "wake-up call" must start ! As more are destined to poverty and brutal serfdom there is not much solace for corporates there ! This is where the cudgels come-out and people have to say it as it is !

The White House seems hell bent on hijacking an Olympic moment of inter-Korean unity.
