  Ten Democrat senators broke voting for cloture advancing a draconian spending Republican bill, which the Democrats had literally no input in drafting and, worst, offered no guard rails to curtail or constrain Musk; an illegal South African immigrant, who has been busy as a bee, rummaging through secured, sensitive federal databases, compiling personal, confidential banking information on regular American citizens, harvesting proprietary [read that: trade secrets] information on competitors, which the courts had already told him hands-off. We have already gotten sporadic reports that at least two Social Security recipients have had their benefits stopped, and monies debited (unlawfully clawed back) from their approved personal checking accounts. The same with NYC. It's Citibank checking account was over-drafted to the tune of $15,000 when US Treasury acting on behest of Musk somehow managed to reverse an eight million dollar transaction. No one (including the NYC Comptroller) even...

 Not to worry. The tattered remnants of the Grand Oaf Party will emerge like a specter from the ashes of our moribund democracy to push back against trumpty dumpty's authoritarian yearnings once chump the brain dead comic carnival barker aka klueless the klown starts the wholesale dismantling of the intelligence community (which has been eerily silent knowing tRump is a spy at best, a Manchurian candidate at worse), breaking long-standing treaties like NATO, the Abraham Accords, and the Paris Climate Treaty; green lights China's annexation of Taiwan, destabilizes the 27 resource-rich Sub-Saharan African [read that: "shithole"] countries on an industrial scale enabling his billionaire buddies to exploit these countries free of interference by popular, democratically elected leaders, while giving Israel free reign to totally decimate the Palestinians. The internal strife, the civil war, coupled by a House prayfully led by Hakeem Jeffries will render MAGA impotent after ...

I do not care about immigrants, period. I do not care about white women, period. I do not care about Latinos who identify as either "white" or white adjacent, period. No other progressive Black ought to either. And until the Democrats understand this fact, we will continue trying to court these ungrateful constituencies. Ones that showed their collective asses on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, by overwhelming voting for chump the brain dead comic carnival barker aka klueless the klown. I am more concerned about the federal merit system (civil service) where Blacks over index in GS-03 through GS-18 items; Article III court judge appointments (and centrist Democrat senators like Fetterman cross party lines to confirm radical, right wing ideologues because the "country must move forward" or some other rationalization), the Attorney General, DOJ, Department of Education and the social safety net. Those cabinet level appointments will directly and adversely impact our commun...
