As I read Mr. Rather's essay I am, as he has said, elated and scared as hell . However, I am reassured also as I read it because it steadies (!) me as I reaffirm my own resolve to continue to want justice to prevail--blind justice...even in the face of the threatened violence that I am frightened will tear our country, our families, our institutions, apart...boy, do I cling to 'darkest before the light' --and have been for several years now. Thank you, Mr. Rather, you steady me every time you write
Back to the language and errors. I was born here and like all Canadians have to pass rigorous English tests to move on to the next grade, then another more in-depth for English and Math to enter University. Your comments in your last two posts indicate you have a significant lack of knowledge about geography and culture. To improve your knowledge you can follow this link: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canada
It is obvious that between the two of us you do need to enter an ESL program. I am sure you can find one in your area. Here they are free. If you have to pay, let me know the cost. Perhaps I can help out with a GoFund me for your ESL and other programs you need such as geography, cultural identities of the global population, diversity, the government, Political Science, and International Relations.
You said, “if I really want to help you”. What an odd thing to say. By now we know that I think you are a vulgar ignoramus. If you don’t know that word they may teach it to you in your upcoming ESL class.
There is not a single thing in the world I would want to help you with. Unless it was educational content related to the USA government and structure, how Bills and other acts are developed and enacted, how Bills are struck down whether by house and senate review, followed by a cancellation, Presidential Executive Orders, or Supreme Court decisions. You may also have to learn the various government levels and responsibilities from town or city Mayor and council (The Municipal Government, State government, and National government.) This knowledge will assist you in your posting, Inaccurate information of each level of governments’roles are will indicate where your hatred will be read and if it has merit acted upon.
As it stands today you just sound like a crotchety old man with little schooling and comments that do not make one iota of sense or logic.
I choose my associates and friends carefully: first someone I respect for their actions, kindness, and well-thought out communication, people who are thoughtful, kind, empathetic, respectful of others, considered in communication, accepting of all people regardless of background, accepting of all family structures, contributes to society, understands and follows the rule of law, humorous, allow everyone to have their own opinion and accept it as their very own opinion. (as for opinions, thats why I would never associate with someone like you. You want to jam your twisted opinion down people’s throats and then verbally assault them if they disagree).
That in turn gives you 0 for 0 on all of the above. I am baffled as to why you choose this site to post from. In the majority of cases your rhetoric will be ignored with contempt.
In my case I am just fooling around and playing with you. I don’t usually do something that cruel but you have shown yourself to be an easy target with the illogical profanity laced comments and reply’s.
Now, let’s just agree that we don’t now, nor will we ever agree on pretty well anything. As a result any further communication would be pointless.
Excellent article, stating without doubt that the laws apply to all citizens. Former President Trump dodged and ducked, now he will face the charges against him just as every American citizen must do. We all have our day of reckoning. Finally equality applies even to Donald Trump.
I have had to work at not letting my cortisol overcome my oxytocin ever since #45 ran for office. I have sought the good news and enjoyed every byte of the feds pursuing his criminal behaviors. I can wait for his downfall and the possibility of that raises my oxytocin that in turn, promotes my health. Thank you for this good news.
Reading and watching this from Canada. Land of the polite people. So I will be polite. WTF were people thinking when casting vote. Enough warning signs my 2 year old grandson would use his favorite word: oh oh. There should be no surprise and shock to anyone in the world.
Saddest is that this constant focus on what did Trump do today, bipartisan squabbles (if this were kindergarten you would get a time out and for everyone sit in a circle, sing or read, fighting and name calling not permitted everyone get along or we will have to take away the class bunny until you can play nicely)
All detract and suck focus from issues that are not just critical to the USA as a whole but the people who are planning back to school with fear in their gut:
Food for breakfast and packed lunch.
School clothes
Tech for homework
New shoes for gym
Binders, paper, subject books
Covid rules
Camera ready for first day pick
Did any classmates have a bad summer, is depressed, is suicidal, home life crap due to covid and inflation? Ergo, is my child going to be safe?
Islamaphobic- The use of so much vulgar name calling does not make you long strong, smart or scary. If you disagree or want to be taken seriously as an adult, lighten up.
Thanks for the reasoned, intelligent commentary in the midst of so much illogical, hostile right- wing views of holding trump to account for his many crimes. Karma has come knocking.
Initially I was shocked & quickly elated. I still believe this evil man will get away with a lot as usual, but I pray that this evil person is taken down and imprisoned.
With respect to Dan and Elliot, this Steady community should not tolerate the nasty comments that have appeared recently. An example is islamophobic, who should be blocked from posting altogether.
I am still amazed at the inability of Americans to recognize & deal with the deadly fascists amidst them. Remember the responses to the Hippy movement, which as anything but seditious & violent?
Thank you for banning the person who was spewing hate and racism here. I can come back now.
Then you are vulgar. You are espousing hate. You want to offend ppl..
Either Trump’s lawyers lied to the Justice department or he lied to them about having additional documents.

Get a life, and make it a great one.

Thank you for your calm, reasoned and law-abiding approach.
I lean liberal and blue. Having said that, I believe we need Republicans like Cheney, Kinzinger, Garland and Wray to help protect our democracy.
