"What Can Be, Unburdened by What Has Been"
My Guru, The Kamala Lama's Program
Sigh..the Kamala Lama is existentially one stopped heart away from the most powerful job on earth: being the puppet on the strings of the real power.
Her program seems to be going out hither and yon spewing this nonsense. Just like Jerky Joe’s program is “Restoring de-moo-krazy” and sTrumpet’s program is MAGA. Even if billionaire sTrumpet is the candidate that is actually talking about things that matter to workers and their families, we know he has never worried about choosing gas for the tank to get to work, or food for that kitchen table that Jerky Joe goes on about.
On Co-dependence Day Eve, if we all understand that there are dark forces behind the prima facie power and they are the ones really in charge, then we realize that it really doesn’t matter who occupies 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Unburdening ourselves from the decadence of that power, we down here in the hoi polloi can finally join our neighbors to do the real work of supporting our families and communities.
I just wanted to check in with you all and give you the mantra for the day: "What Can Be, Unburdened by What Has Been"
Repeat this over and over until you lose your last marble and the existential angst of living in this pitiless sh!thole. Sometimes the only thing we can do is laugh.
For me, where I live, the forecast is for 111 degrees (44 celsius), so I am going to get out for a walk while it is still ONLY 81 degrees at 5:15am.

So glad you are sharing that famous Frederick Douglass 'What to a Slave is The Fourth of July' speech, brilliant! He is one of my all-time heroes.
Stay cool!
Happy Co-Dependence Day! Good way of thinking about it!
Enjoy the absurdity of all of it and keep in mind that people are seeing this.
Reagan, Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama were the lullaby that kept people asleep while the country was ransacked.
I find it nuts that they put an already senile guy and this idiot as VP during a hard time of COVID.... Almost like they expected COVID to seal the deal on people?
Good thing that didn't happen 😂.
