Agreed Ms. Lawless. But now we need to implement real change! I attach my post about the future. In it, after my GOP supporter critique, I expand on what our nation needs in integrate actions and new constitutional amendment to protect our people as that is the heart of our future as a nation. Democratic leadership stated immediate plans to end the Iran conflict and tariffs, and some suggest Medicare for all. I want a bright future for all American citizens, beyond the use of one's likeness being illegally copied and used by AI creations without owner approval, payment, and royalties. This goes well beyond writing, acting, and directing, as your profession knows all too well. AI and robotics will replace the most of the jobs we currently perform to earn our living in ten to twenty yearsm Worse yet, both may lead to our end if allowed to grow and be used without safeguards and strict legislation of their industrial growth and usage both nationally and under international treaties. Of course, I'm no longer in the IT industry. I'm just a songsmith and musician now after leaving 30 years of professional work in IT culminating in a decade of business and technology consulting after Y2K. I saw the future and didn't want to be part of creating what is now "a run away train". I prefer offering emotional understanding and occasional outrage that helps people understand the human conditions and one another through lyrical tales and music. Plus pure fun and edutainment mixed in, plus multiple songs where royalties are directed straight to charitable causes and humanitarian aid. But I digress from my political intent of my attached post .... #oped #realtalk #reality #PoliticsToday #BlueWave #Democrats #GOP #MAGA #PoliticalAction #Change #MovingForward #followers #songs #music #IndieOriginals #markofthemusic 💙✌️🖖 – at Elmwood Park, NJ
This man's speech has no relevance after the 2026 elections made clear citizens reject MAGA claims which were all RHETORIC and LIES with Trump leading his double down on lies campaign, misogyny, and using hate to divide American citizens while straying from the path of our constitutional rights and proper presidential leadership. Costs skyrocketed in everyday goods from food to fuel, and people keep losing their ability to earn income as AI data centers and billionaires get preferential treatment while ENDING OUR ABILITY TO EARN INCOME AS CITIZENS! This was either an old recording, or this man is clearly being ridiculous following the double down on lies MAGA strategy. The 2026 wave of blue didn't require promises of millions in winnings from fake lotteries to win votes... That was all on MAGA and Elon Musk's demonic political action group of schemers in an illegal vote buying scam under the AMERICA PAC corporate banner. Never forget this lesson, or the truth of who Elon Musk is and why he and his people ran DOGE plus his key IT people are still deeply embedded in his so called "right sized" federal agencies. This was the so called "lottery" run in all swing states: A "million dollars a day" giveaway for signing up and staying officially Republican in your support for the 2024 elections, also requesting statements the were sometimes used in ads, and yet the giveaway has official embedded GOP MAGA spokespeople who were ALL to be the PRE-ASSIGNED winners, meaning the entire giveaway was a SCAM in the first place. Watch and listen: This was the official announcement of the $1M giveaway on YouTube by MUSK covered and recorded by CNN: youtu.be/4OiaAVfWb1s?is=aVJW… Elon Musk Veers Into Clearly Illegal Vote Buying, Offering $1 Million Per Day Lottery Prize Only to Registered Voters, on the Election Law Blog: share.google/z0suqTHQ4G83N6l… As to the settlement, where Elon avoided prison due to his wealth and top legal minds assisting him, as it was his AMERICA PAC which technically broke numerous state and federal election laws (just to shield him and MAGA), even though MUSK was the mastermind of the plot in claims of corporate sovereignty. Elon Musk agrees to settle lawsuits over 2024 election lottery on Reuters: share.google/8prE5EqcyBez6xO… Musk Settles Lawsuit Over His $1 Million Voter Giveaways on Forbes: share.google/j1ozWTDH0xz5Lxq… Elon Musk Settles Suit Over $1 Million Giveaway to 2024 Voters on Bloomberg Law: share.google/aPtJvWBrBM0QJXZ… Elon Musk settles lawsuits over his $1 million election giveaways on KCRA: share.google/Tjy2hsX9vONlFT4… My point is simple: "We The People" deserve more rights than corporations, not the reverse as it's currently applied by the courts under our current Constitution, which is why we allow amendments: We The People deserve rights, NOT Corporations used to shield their leadership! So at a minimum, those who run corporations deserve to face the courts when their leadership leads corporations to commit crimes against it's workers, the citizens, our constitution, or humanity beyond our borders, and they just face REAL PRISON TIME and MASSIVE PENALTIES to strip them of their wealth and power. Of course, with leaders like Felon 47, until he is removed from power by impeachment, along with J.D. Vance and many of Trump's placed heads of government agencies, we cannot be cleansed of this toxic leadership that awards the wealthy and corporations at the cost of all the voters and citizens. I must add that JD Vance, based on his record as VP alone, should be removed but no matter what, his removal is a necessity to avoid his likelihood to offer executive clemency to Trump and others who may be prosecuted with massive fines and prison time after impeachment removal of President Trump and his cronies from their government office positions. Then we need constitutional laws... 🧵1of3

This is uncalled for, crossing the lines like MAGA rhetoric, and just plain mean Jamie. I was offended by Charlie Kirk's MAGA myopic cult mind-control using tunnel-visioned hatred-centric Christian value based Republican leadership, but I CANNOT condone his murder. 💙✌️🖖 – at Elmwood Park, NJ

First, it isn't a properly declared war. It's simply an executive target by the Commander in Chief President Trump unless Congress votes to declare an official war. That's one of the points in why President Trump requires IMPEACHMENT for his extended just of military attacks, without congressional approval and proper oversight in funding, creating unfunded expenses that expand our deficit after giving himself and his fellow wealthy Americans and corporations tax breaks. Add the following to my list of demands on our Democratic Leadership after you take Tariffs and Iran from your dockets in my attached post: teapawt.net/TechSimplicity/status/… #Democracy #Leadership #Demovrats #BlueWave #TrueDemocracy #WeThePeople #Politics #PoliticsToday #Followers 💙✌️🖖
BREAKING: In an incredible moment after taking back power, Congressman Ted Lieu just announced that Democrats first two priorities will be ending Trump's stupid war in Iran and his insane tariffs. Let's go!

Voting all blue in NJ is actually easy with good candidates. So no excuses not to vote in all BLUE for Dems here. I prefer to vote blue, but I still examime each candidate to avoid voting in a POS, as they slip through cracks into every party on occasion. Still, I'll take an imperfect Democrat over a GOP MAGA supporter every time with the state of our nation under Fascist Totalitarian actions of our President Donald J. Trump, and a Congress that supports DJT's actions. Calling all citizens.

President "F3L0N 47" Trump only dropped long term sanctions and paid premium prices for Russian diesel fuel after: 1. Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev made a personal gift of hundreds of thousands of dollars toward a three-day wedding celebration in the Bahamas in May 2026, including private island rentals and a fireworks display at Donald Trump Jr's wedding to Bettina Elisabeth Anderson. Of course, Don Jr. recently claimed he paid the money back... kind of odd if it truly was a "personal gift". 2. Ukraine had recently destroyed Russia's active B0T servers. 3.Trump was made aware that Russia needed the funding so they could afford the Russian B0T server redeployment (against the Democrats and Ukraine). Result: President Trump orders that USA drop sanctions against Russia and he ordered that we buy one tanker of diesel fuel from Russia. Less than 3/4 of a day in supply for USA diesel fuel usage. So just what will it take to be considered "sufficient evidence" for the Congressional Intelligence Committee to finally begin President Trump's impeachment process!?!? Want to learn facts of where our country is with Trump vs. if we had elected Harris back in September? teapawt.net/TechSimplicity/status/… I kept it to the highlights you can easily verify. #politics #PoliticsToday #politicsnews 💙✌️🖖 – at Elmwood Park, NJ
BREAKING: congressional intelligence committees say that they received an intelligence briefing that Russia has been waging a misinformation campaign against Democrats running in the midterms. This comes as Trump removes sanction on Russia AND turns on Ukraine. Yes… another Quid Pro Quo with Russia F-CKING VOTE!

Felon 47 showing his true face: This is precisely what Adolph Hitler, President Vladimir Putin, and other despots did/do to their dissenters. Hitler and Putin often took it further with the imprisonment and execution of dissenters, but how much better is President "Felon 47" Trump when he ACTIVELY SUPPORTS his followers beating his dissenters at his rallies and then has the dissenters arrested? And Trump signed executive clemency orders for the rioters that stormed the capital and were found guilty of both sedition and the death of Washington DC police officers, plus other criminals who committed crimes against our nation, all while he continues supporting Putin when we have sanctions in place against Russia and taking bribes directly or via his family. He doesn't uphold our constitution, except when it suits his needs, and otherwise breaks it. And our economy is in freefall, with ongoing job loss due to runaway AI growth where only the wealthiest grow richer while we suffer the worst inflation we have in decades. And datacenters are plagues on the power grida and heath of local communities. Trump's GOP is protecting pedophiles, rapists, plus they continues to promote conflict and prejudice, all while continually spreading misinformation and lies in rhetoric aimed at blaming others for Trump's GOP horrible policy failures. These are the opposite of the values created in our bill of rights.

A protester just now at Trump’s rally was just punched multiple times by a Trump supporter. Notice how the protester gets kicked out, but the guy who assaulted him is praised by Trump, who then says that he loved watching it. These people are in a sick cult. They cheer on violence as long as the violence is directed against those who aren’t in the cult.

Either the President was lying or Musk was lying, but the decision to slow down satellite speed and access has life or death consequences for Ukraine. This deserves a full investigation by the Senate. Elon Musk should be compelled to testify before Congress and under oath. National security decisions should be made in our national security interests, and not based on the personal whim of an unstable executive.

I compose songs that often focus on what people feel in my more serious pieces. ATM, I must offer credit to @AbdulElSayed for his noble and informative response to a query based in a curiosity that's clearly based on preconceptions and fear. All politicians should be questioned and answer with honesty and understanding like this. I only wish our President offered such noble responses and actually respected our constitution beyond using it to enrich himself and the wealthiest Americans. I'll stick to expressing how people feel in my more serious lyrical tales. Look, we ALL possess a level of preconceptions and fears which may surface in simple questions let alone statements, even when we do not intend harm. But that doesn't mean we don't inflict insult or pain on the recipient. This is how a a recipient feels: 🎵Preconceptions🎵 distrokid.com/hyperfollow/ma… And as people forget that no matter what our intention, even if to guide or assist another person; our simplest advice is often a source of pain: 🎵Caveats Of Advice🎵 open.spotify.com/track/5f3Cy… music.apple.com/us/album/cav… music.youtube.com/watch?v=6_… Remember to practice kindmess in all your interactions. And may you enjoy a melodious lifestyle! #songs #song #music #OriginalSongs #IndieMusic #IndieOriginals #JazzRnBPop #fusion #Preconceptions #singersongwriter #CaveatsOfAdvice #MarkOfTheMusic #MOTM #followers #VOTE 💙✌️🖖
OMFG! This response from @AbdulElSayed to a completely bigoted question is probably the best thing I’ve heard all year. Every bigot in America needs to listen to this three times.

It is not unusual for President Donald Trump to switch sides the moment he or his family receive substantial bribes from foreign leaders, especially when it's from his friend/mentor/sensei and now benefactor President Vladimir Putin. While there are international sanctions the USA helped create against Russia, President Trump suddenly buys Russian diesel fuel, (while we produce our own,) supposedly to support our military due to President Trump's own illegal war on Iran. It's a real life "Game of Thrones" as both leaders are fascist totalitarians along with other despots in power at this time.

BREAKING: In a stunning moment, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy just went on TV and made clear that Donald Trump is abandoning Ukraine. Just weeks after Don Jr's wedding paid for by a Russian oligarch, this happens. The corruption is astounding.
