Four Walls @FourWalls (86910) • United States 7 Jan 21

Usually I can think of something to say about anything that happens. Today, however, I have no words. I’m thankful: our Constitution works, despite so-called “patriots” trying to undermine it. I’m also worried. In 1944...

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 21 Oct 20

Today is Wednesday, October 21, 2020. This is what's on my mind. * * * Trump says if Biden gets elected, the US is going to end up just like Venezuela. Let me think. What happened to Venezuela? Oh yeah! The people...

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 23 Sep 20

Why does America want to be ruled by old men?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 4 Mar 20

It is now looking as though the next POTUS is going to be a septuagenarian, whoever wins the election in November. The Democrat field is being whittled down to Joe Biden, who will be 77 on polling day, Bernie Sanders (79) or...

I Meant the Stupid Stuff. Not the Funny Stuff!

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 17 Feb 20

I know in my last post I said something about ignoring American politics. But I meant the stupid stuff. Not the funny stuff. For those who don't keep up, Andrew Yang was trying to run for POTUS. But he has dropped out of the...

Do You Think He's a Fake?

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 16 Aug 19

I remember these song lyrics from a song that use to be popular back in the day. They come to my mind sometimes when I'm dealing with a difficult person who is trying to show me one face, but they really feel the exact opposite...

What's in a Name Anyway?

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 21 Mar 19

I don't really maintain a steadfast and constant review of everything that's happening in American politics. But there are some folks whose names pop up so often you can't help but notice them. Like U.S. Representative...

If It's Broke, We the People Should Fix It!

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 5 Oct 18

Every once in a while I like to repeat myself. If you've been following American news then you know that in a few more days we will or we will NOT have a new member judge added to our Supreme Court. This confirmation process has...

Let the “Great” Guessing Games Begin!

cmoneyspinner @cmoneyspinner (9218) • Austin, Texas 19 Jan 17

Here's the gist of a recent NPR report (link supplied below). US citizens and world citizens (particularly those in Europe) are worried. My opinion? We / They should be! Why? Because nobody can answer a question about how...

Will the Republican Party survive Donald Trump?

John Welford @indexer (4852) • Leicester, England 9 Dec 15

One notable feature of Donald Trump's latest piece of nonsense - namely his call for all Muslims to be banned from entering the United States - has been almost universal condemnation from his fellow Republicans. Even those who...
