Regarding the protests ongoing at this moment on the Capitol steps
In response to:
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Well you've lost all the things
That sharing could bring
Thought you were doing right
But violence and flames
And torches and chains
Are fueling
These new northern lights
Like prisoners working
On infertile land
Took eight years
To find out the score
If you're sick then you're lonely
Out of work then you're hungry
The sentence is four years more
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up
Who says poverty and race
Can be kept in their place
By keeping it
All underground
And ruling the country
Are unfaithful husbands
Who spank little boys
Gagged and bound
There's got to be a better way
For you and for me
To turn this hypocrisy round
The growth of a nation
Cannot be achieved
By keeping
The downtrodden down
Turn it up, turn it so loud
It don't ever stop
No no no no
Turn it up, makes me so proud
I believe in this feeling
Turn it up, turn it up
Right up, right up

It's quite clear, that the GOP agenda is much more important to Republicans than what the majority of people want.
It didn't start with the election of the most unqualified US president in history.
It started with the Tea Party within the Republican party,
a band of obstructionists, who would do anything to halt progress.
Indeed, they pledged to do just that.
But, with the help of Putin, Trump was elected and Republicanswe re so happy that a person
representing the Republican party, got in power, that they turned a blind eye to things they would have
passionately objected to only 2 years earlier.
We are now at a point, that the Republican 'representatives' no longer care about what is the right thing
to do. Instead, most have replaced integrity with what can we get away with, and the public has
been outraged at many things that have taken place in the past 2 years.
These include tax cuts for the rich, jailing young children of refugees away from their parents,
obnoxious Tweets, alienating allies, coddling dictators, allowing more pollution, allowing mining & drilling in National Parks, destruction of net neutrality, attempts to take away health benefits, and other things deleterious to a large part of the population.
The result is that this country is more divided than it has been in decades.
The Kavanaugh confirmation may be the tipping point.
Will the confirmation of an accused s*xual predator to the Supreme Court be the tipping point
to finally motivate voters to select better representation ?
The majority of people in the USA are female. However, Trump lost the popular vote in 2016
and still got elected due to an antiquated electoral college.
Yet, Congressmen don't get an electoral college to vote as they please.
They are elected by the popular vote.
So, will the public make their voices heard, when & where it will do the most good ?
Will this be the end of the Republican majority in Congress ?
I guess we will find out in early November.

I also can understand how he hets the " leftwing looney " title from all the political zealots that inhabit the net these days. He usually shows the average citizens perspective and not that of the upper two per cent. He also seems to have an open mind about his subjects and a gift for making it slightly humorist. Just think, if he was a conservative idiot with his head in the sand, he would be Lienie Riefenstahl.
Impeach 'em both! And Kavanaugh, too!
