Politics What is happening????

NATO in talks to put nuclear weapons on standby, boss tells UK's Telegraph

Want to play a game???
I wonder if anyone remembers Wargames?

There's a reason they call the posture, MAD. ...Mutually Assured Destruction...

Wonder if Xi and China will tell Putin to back off and stand down, with the Nuclear saber rattling. (Because China would be just as damaged in a global confrontation)
Someone has got to be the sane player on the "bad guy" side.

 

Billions of people just felt the deadly intensity of climate-fueled heat waves — The Washington Post

IMHO, oh well…
It’s a damn shame and tragedy to be sure
BUT…we were warned, they’ve been saying this for decades

So we roast.
Look at it as a way of population control.
Hey, if 10 billion crabs can die off in a year because of climate change, why not some humans???

Yes, we can help
But it would take a GLOBAL trial of locking down the Pandora’s box of waste and excess.
corporate, govt and individuals, all the above.

And that won’t guarantee that it will improve.
It “could be” just natural change.
But the effort would be helpful anyways.
“Clean up your room” puts the odds in your favor.

So, people die…
We’re gnats on fleas on a huge dog, scratching away.
We’re maggots about to be dried out in the sun.

Better hope you’ve got shelter, water, AC
and the $$$ to paid the bill. Because the bill has come.
And this “collector” is ruthless and uncaring.

Don’t ask “why?”
Ask, “why not???”
We’re not as important as we thought we were.
(Past tense, for a reason…)

 

This goes beyond the election and individuals
And even had global consequences

Tyranny Expert Sums Up A Trump Win With 2 Ominous Words — HuffPost

IMHO, he’s right.

I guess most is repairable, as long as there’s no nukes
But we’d likely have to reboot
Like France after Napoleon
Italy after Mussolini
Etc

Even a full update to the Constitution
Other countries have done it, why not US?

Hey, if we survive…lessons learned.

 

All I'm seeing is a series of unfortunate events turn into a burning train wreck...
And a relatively stable world turn into chaos, by our leaders allowing radicals take advantage, bit by bit.
There is no control, death by 1000 cuts.

Unless the sane and stable leaders rein it in and convince normalcy...
But no, many VIPs are just having selfish hissy fits not thinking about the consequences.
This is Chaos Theory in action.

The dice are rolling...

 

Trump's Project 2025 is now being searched in Google more than Taylor Swift and the NFL

Now DailyKos is a "bit" biased to the Left, I'll admit.
But a stat is a stat...and it's interesting. (I know, I know..."lies, damned lies and statistics" thank you Sam )

But the word IS getting out there about Project 2025
And Chump can't disavow, many of his aides and allies are up to their necks in it.

Let the bells ring and shout it aloud. Project 2025 is coming...
You know conservatives, they don't give up any idea...they'll just change the year if TFG loses, for the next GOP prez.

Again it's not just the one person for prez you need to concern yourself with
It's ALL they peeps they bring with them.

 

When Fighting Disinformation, Even the Best Tools Are Not Enough

We are getting to the point we're drowning in lies, skews, twists...not seeing where the air bubbles go to...not knowing which way is UP.

It's a maze and many don't know how to traverse it.

Those with false hoods, claiming they're truth-sayers and their opposition are liars.

"Every accusation is a confession" has become a cliche.

And the pace of it all is overwhelming to many. (some just turning it all off, preferring to be totally uninformed)

This is part of the Future Shock that I've noted before.
And our minds often can't handle it...even making us crack... or worse, make bad decisions.

IMHO, I think they should start enforcing fraud laws more...including with business.
These are laws on the books, and if they get into the trend, others will follow.

Right now, it's become the Wild West...lawless or little law.

 

Project 2025 Is a Blueprint for Canceling American Democracy

It's not if it's coming, it's when...
If not Chump, then whenever the next GOP prez gets in.

This is a very organized push by the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society...many judges and government insiders and players, helped make it or bought into it.
While Chump is officially backing off of it, many of his previous administration, potential administration, aides and allies have an agenda for it.

Yes, I realize the Sierra Club is not a conservative friend, but the article was a good summary of the potential dangers of the P2025 plan.
So I deviated from my usual try to neutral media and put it up. (I just don't want to write that much )

I don't need to go into the alarm signaling statements, because TFA sez it all. A good read. Not too long.

But they're right, it's something to be VERY concerned with.
Question is, are they going to DO something???

 

Followup summary (although I hate the pic of Chump )
