Thanks so much for your brilliant insights and your compassion. In 2012 there was a little known study none by Princeton and, I believe, North Western University, in which the conclusion was that it makes absolutely no difference which party occupies the White House nor what the people want. Its conclusion was clear to all who were paying attention. The oligarchs got their way 99 per cent of the time. Since then it has gotten even worse.

We really need to find a way to change this horrible systems before it literally kills us all.

Cindy Sheehan, you are a treasure!

If we had a soul, it was quickly hijacked by the manipulators...

Even at the start...

The Constitution was so lacking that they had to AMEND it with the bill of rights, because people were protesting the lack of rights in the Constitution!

Anarchy is more appealing every day. Rules; no rulers.

Yep. I agree

Ain't that the truth, Nancy. Here's my tongue-in-cheek idea to get it started, Anarchy Hour ...

Best of luck with shedding your rulers in NC.

I have to give you five stars for sitting through the "State" of the "Union" speech the other night. I couldn't make it past the first five seconds Genocide Joe opened his mouth. I just don't need any more at this point.

I did not make it thru by a long shot

I give you both credit for making it thru 5 seconds.

It was agonizing.

I boycotted it, a sane method I think.

So many excellent quotable quotes here, Cindy! Thanks for the reliable reassurance that it's not us who have lost our minds. You would make such a kick-ass President. Then our country would have a "soul" to work towards.

So well said Cindy. Thank you. It has taken me so much longer to get where you are and your eloquence is welcome. The murder of your son (and millions of others) should not have happened. Yet it continues. Does the US have a soul? I think not.

If it does, it's black.

Thanks!

That hollow husk talking about "soul" would be beyond excruciating. I watched the basketball game instead.....

It was that's why I could take only a few minutes at a time

Since I dumped cable, I went to the Dollar Store to do something constructive.

I don't have cable either. I watched a reaction channel on YouTube of someone who was watching it. Like I said, I'd pop in once in awhile. The energy was so toxic, I actually witnessed the host deflating more each time I switched over. It was truly bestial.

Yet another great rant, Cindy, could not have put it better except maybe to say I would rather have a sharp stick in the eye than watch that steaming pile of propaganda. Thanks a ton for getting out the message of our longstanding problem of a sick, dark government, a message that sadly, many still need to hear. ~~ j ~~

Yes, the poker thing, as well.

Thank you 💐

Good question, while we wrestle to receive a seat at the table.

Good orientation, Cindy. As I often say, "Despair is not a winning strategy."
