Always love the ocean as well. Sometimes wonder if I sailed on a ship in a past life. (maybe I left my brain there also.). Grew up in FL so love the ocean, before FL became quite so crazy. I was more wondering if you give lessons on searching, but then maybe I should leave the heavy lifting to you. But I sometimes wonder if you decide to call it quits, then I would be screwed. Your research keeps the attention on important issues that need focus and vocal support.
I just saw Nick's question below on Rep. end game. How does the Rep. party even exist. Didn't they wash Russian money /NRA money through the RNC? How can they not get nailed on this? And how is the NRA still with tax exempt status? The Rep party is like a rotten apple tree. Every apple needs to fall eventually- there just are so many of them. (And I refer to criminal activities and not necessarily just people here)
In my opinion the NRA and Russia —> was overly pushed propaganda that sought to divide Americans even more and gave millions of us false hope in the “Mueller’s got this” that Russiagate would take Trump down. I lump it into the trash heap of “chill counterintelligence got this” <—straight up QANON-for-the-Left and was overly amplified by a blue check that traffics in unhinged conspiracy theories. None and I mean none of what he predicted has come to pass. That said the NRA was used as a boogie man - don’t get me wrong the NRA is a shitty political player and they should forfeit their tax exempt status. I also think religious institutions that become political weapons should also lose their tax exempt status. As someone who did extensive research on the NRA and the various charitable foundations, I never conclusively found “vast buckets of Russian money” - conversely I did find nominal donations but again if the NRA was really a front for “Russian Money laundering” or “dark Russian money seeping into our political system” then I would have expected indictments. But alas here we are some 4.75 years later and that blue Check is still trafficking in QAnon-for-the-Left disinformation and misinformation. Nearly insane conspiracy he’s amplified has never materialized into actual criminality, but yet hundreds of thousands believe his fetid tired bullshit
Wow, Okay. I thought once Reince was out of there and the Butina stuff happened that it was a pretty big deal. While I didn't think we would get justice necessarily during the 4 yrs I thought maybe later it would play out.
Concur on tax exempt status though for religious and NRA.
Which is completely understandable and reasonable expectation- and it’s okay to disagree with me - because I’m not always right. And while the NY-AG civil case is something to watch - I think if NRA members sued (assuming they could get a class certified) that would be a more appropriate & entitled party. I guess my frustration is I’m pissed at myself for believing that blue check account and thinking he was in our intelligence community. I still can’t get over in March 2018 when I as doxed he told me “I have my people watching you - so you and your family are safe” I genuinely hate myself for ever believing his bullshit. He’s not in the IC, he’s never held any security clearance and frankly he’s a shitty analyst -who hasn’t held a real job since 2014 - you can’t claim to be a patriot when you haven’t filed any income tax since 2015
Yeah that is quite disconcerting. Total BS. I feel as though I have seen people come through here and they are not who they pretend to be. Anonymity is not always the best thing. Lots of actors and players out there. It's almost as if you have to be skeptical of everyone which is a difficult thing when we need to band together for positive results. Weird on the NRA. Hard to believe they let someone be in charge who raided the coffers. It isn't like there is one thing wrong with them but a whole host of things.
It's hard to disagree anyways when you aren't bring the receipts. No one has done as much HW as you in so much of this.
Okay, now I know, and I stopped retweeting his stuff because I believe hes full of sht.. His recent attacks on someone really upset me, so I'm done with him.
That’s his standard go to - all the women are “crazy or stalkers” yet he is never held accountable for his misogynistic assoholic behavior. His most ardent supporters - the females attacking other females is just predicable and vulgar. I very much look forward to their reckoning because that’s coming soon
😀😃.. Sometimes I think I know who you're talking about, but there are a couple of guys that fit that description.. Anyhoo I keep my eyes & ears open. I try not to get sucked into everything & if I see someone is bad news i stop reading their stuff.. 😁😊 I think you're awesome..
Filey, what’s the Republican’s end game here? Do you think they’ve even thought about it? It looks to me that they’re greed and never ending quest for raw power allowed them to become enveloped by the Trump underworld/TOC and are now doomed to the consequences. Question is how will this end?
That’s an excellent question - my guess is the Republicans that are doubling down and passing Jim Crow laws on steroids—they are “all in” with Trump’s big lie. These laws are a progeny of that party realizing that when more Americans vote it tips the favor towards Democrats. I don’t see how this is sustainable because there is only one party that is fighting to make voting more accessible and that’s not the Republican Party.
I agree, their desperate measures only show Americans that GOP members are willing to make it more difficult for voters to cast their votes. Of course this only happens in communities where POC vote. In Arizona they're making it more difficult for Native Americans and Latinos to vote. Where trump felt he lost that's where these corrupt measures are being placed. It's not rocket science to figure out what this is for. It's cheating plain and simple. I hope we vote in record numbers in 2022 and 2024.
Always. The ocean always brings me joy... TY.💛
THANK YOU! The ocean is always with me. I appreciate your little videos. Beautiful.
Me too
So calming....thank you!
Much needed for a Monday morning. Thanks 🌶

Not to hijack this Q&A but the following link from an historian sheds real light on voter suppression and all the tricks the Republicans are turning to today. https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/p/march-28-2021?r=1x439&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email&utm_source=copy
She is freaking amazing and I genuinely enjoy her newsletters and her research is incomparable
Same. In one fell swoop she recaps the days events, adding impact on history when warranted.
I just want to add how important it is to see American history as it played out, not just the bullets taught in most curriculums.
Nothing like standing on the shore watching the wavelets come in. It's soothing and centering.
