Sidney Powell and the "release of kraken"

Image
Trump's attorney Sidney K. Powell promised to "release the kraken" through her election lawsuits. Kraken is a "sea monster in Scandinavian folklore that emerges from the sea to devour its enemies". However, all the lawsuits failed due to lack of evidence. This does not deter Powell who claims that the vote counting software is the same as used by Hugo Chavez in Venezuela. But since Chavez has been dead since 2013, there is no way to verify this. Maybe that is the point. Does truth really matter? For Trump it is all about winning. Cheating is acceptable. Lies are acceptable. Crazy is not only acceptable, but desirable.  What kind of lawyer would promote ideas for which there is no evidence? Who would work against facts, logic and truth? Can Astrology shed some light on this behavior? In Astrology the planetary energies associated with chaotic thinking and rebellion are primarily due to Uranus, Neptune and Eris. These planets feature prominently in Donald Trump...

Inside Trump's Sociopathic Echo Chamber

  No amount of racism can change the US racial composition. The USA is a diverse country and that is reality. The original sin of slavery was due to greed. Without thinking of the consequences, wealthy Southerners brought in hundreds of thousands of slaves. Slaves were treated more like livestock than human beings. Their human rights and equality were denied at every turn. White slave owners wanted the wealth, but did not want to live alongside their slaves. Selfishness and greed is what brought in slavery. Fast-forward 243 years, and in Trump we have a narcissistic president who personifies selfishness and greed. Now past the November 3rd election, Republicans are screaming that the votes of Blacks and other minorities are fraudulent. This without proof and based solely on their prejudice about minorities. People of color have been labelled as corrupt and criminal. The Republican base wants to see all the social evils in these minority people, not in themselves. And yet, in Donald...

RBG and Antonin Scalia: An Unlikely Friendship

Image
The two, now deceased, justices of the Supreme Court, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Antonin Scalia had an unusual, yet true friendship. They managed it in spite of being most often on the opposite sides of the Court's decisions. For RBG the issue that was of prime concern was the equality of women. To her equality meant that women should be in charge of their bodies. She wrote: "The state controlling a woman would mean denying her full autonomy and full equality." Antonin Scalia certainly had no such concerns. He never strayed far from the teachings of the Catholic Church which are based on a patriarchal society of 2000 years ago. From that perspective women were just reproductive vessels to be used by men. Yes, there seems to be an elevation of the Virgin Mary in the Catholic Church, which could just be a cover-up for the fact that Mary was an unwed pregnant teen. They sold the virgin birth really hard and it stuck. How could an intelligent man like Scalia buy into these irrat...
