SloozarSloozarCan Mike Pence Really Push Trump Out of the Oval Office?the Elections Are Over - Donald Trump has yet to concede.  It's getting ridiculous, really.  Republicans tolerate Trump's chipping at our democracy while taking advantage of naive and gullible people who continue to believe he could keep the Oval Office. He CANNOT. There is ZERO possibility for that to happen, and yet millions of Republicans continue to pour money into Trump's coffer for the improbable outcome of staying president. The damage that's inflicted in our system of democracy is not easily reversible. Added to...2020-12-261h 44SloozarSloozarCan Trump Secure A Second Term - S2E1Can Donald Trump secure a second term?

Whenever the word is used, it is most likely used within that context JFK said that "the ignorance of a single voter in a democracy impairs the security of us all".

And yet, despite the mountain of evidence Donald Trump represents the greatest threat this country has had, despite facts he does not give a rat ass as far as the wellbeing of his supporters, despite irrefutable proof he is stupefyingly incompetent, millions of Republicans continue to support him, to defend him and some to even suggest he is the greatest president the country has had.

The atrocity of the murder is nothing new; after the civil war, blacks were chased much like wild animals, gunned down, their bodies left to be consumed by animals or decomposed.

As such, we've always given a pass to "well educated" individuals even when it is obvious their statements, their arguments, their theories are completely deprived of any logic. Such bias lends credence to those individuals who have exploited the social status to dumbify others. You can see the impact on Fox News's audience; you can see the devastating effect on Donald Trump' supporters. The impact, the...2020-05-241h 41SloozarSloozarTara Rease Sexual Assault Case CLOSEDA few months ago, Tara Reade dropped a bombshell; she accused Joe Biden of having sexually assaulted her. Joe Biden denied it ever happened. Usually, sexual harassment and/or assault would boil down to she says/he says unless there is proof (eye witnesses, documented behavior, etc). More often than not, the individual accused of sexual assaults is engaged in that pattern of behavior. Women, several women would speak about their respective experience with the individual accused of such.

A total imbecile, Trump is not just a professional liar, he is a very dangerous man who should be placed in a mental institution, for there is no possible rationale to understand how such lunacy made way to the highest office in the land.

Human casualties continue to mount. As of our last broadcast, the number of individuals infected with the CoronaVirus has surpassed a million.

As of this podcast, the scientific community has yet to announce a cure for the virus. In the meantime, areas that were previously considered CoronaVirus free are in full panic mode.

The governments believe China must be held accountable, punished even in order to pressure the Chinese government to abide by democratic norms. Ironically, businesses in those democratic countries love to run to China for cheap labor; translation, those businesses want to make more profits. It's difficult for either side to gain any ground on the other; both sides tend to lose if they strain the relation...2020-02-131h 17SloozarSloozarInterested in being conned?Chances are you don't know anyone who would want to be conned, not even for fun. Okay, maybe for fun. But seriously! Beside being humiliated to have been conned, one would feel ashamed to have been taken for a ride. Most people would react angrily, a few would even kill the perpetrator(s) if found. We've seen professional con men such as the famous Adrian Lester aka Mickey Brick in Hustle along with his team. We've all enjoyed watching a good con being performed but that's where our love for con ends.  2020-02-111h 35SloozarSloozarA Valueless ConstitutionRepublican Senator Lamar Alexander said in regards to the impeachment trial "I worked with other senators to make sure that we have the right to ask for more documents and witnesses, but there is no need for more evidence to prove something that has already been proven...

It's not just because of a possible negative outcome for the individual under impeachment; it's what it entails in a negative outcome. The accused will never be allowed to hold public office again. As if that's not enough punishment, the impeached individual can be prosecuted afterwards once removed from office. There is really no incentive for public officials to engage in wrongdoing or criminal activities. Yet, the 45th president of the United States has acted almost...2020-01-241h 30SloozarSloozarLie to MeMost would cringe at the idea of associating ourselves with liars. And yet, science proves most people are attracted to liars, even subconsciously. We know for instance for over a decade now that Fox News - most of its hosts -  have distorted the truth at best, lied to the audience in general. And yet, as of date, Fox has held the spot to be the most watched in the nation. Can anyone come up with any other logical explanation for fascination with Fox? Science is very rarely wrong.

It seems the dumbness of the two main characters has overshadowed the stupidity of the supporting actors which would leave smart individuals scratching their heads.

Victims of devastation such as earthquake, hurricanes, bombardments in war have described being buried under piles of rubble as a very scary experience.  Survivors would suffer for a while - sometime through the rest of their lives - of claustrophobia ( a type of situational phobia where an individual struggling with great fear  of small or closed spaces.) Flashbacks of how it happened will continue to haunt most. As such, no one would poeticize rubble. Is it any different if the rubble in qu...2019-12-201h 14SloozarSloozarIs Unfulfilled Raped Not Punishable?There is no decent individual - in any country or era - who would suggest there is some positive in rape. In the Republican circle however, a rapist who is stopped from fulfilling the despicable act is not guilty of anything.  How low has the Republican Party fallen when it comes to decency?

One aspect of mankind that is  helpful is the ability to use logic (commonly called common sense) and to rely on facts to understand our environment. But what happens when individuals deliberately try to dumbify others? That's what Republican constituents have been subjected to in the hands of their elected representatives.  The rest of the country is dumbfounded.

No one can make a case for Donald Trump or any Republican Legislator as having the quality of a leader, and yet million constituents continue to provide their support for the Republican Party.  It is baffling!  If you're interested in making stops between here and there, feel free to stop by The People Branch website where you will find ma...2019-11-291h 10SloozarSloozarDo GOP Leaders Exploit Supporters’ Ignorance?As America prepares to celebrate Thanksgiving, most - if not all, everyone - are completely oblivious the current state of the country is very reminiscent of what happened to the indigenous communities. Then the pilgrims massacred, completely wiped out a whole nation of people; the objective was to seize their lands. Now, the Republicans are all in on Donald Trump shredding our Constitution, trampling the rule of law and destroying the fabric of our society.  And yet, the nation "girdles" to rejoice on a day which should have been a day of reflection. I...2019-11-261h 27SloozarSloozarWhat Makes One DumbfoundedOne of the most difficult language to understand - for me at least - is stupidity, which is the cultivation of ignorance. I used to think that everyone is dotted with some level of common sense until it has become most obvious that Republicans - elected officials and constituents alike - have cultivated and embraced everything but common sense, leaving me - and many others - completely dumbfounded.

Is it worth it?2019-11-161h 37SloozarSloozarStungAnyone who's been stung has experienced pain - no matter how temporary - s/he would rather not experience again. Ironically, in politics everything seems different at best, completely illogical.

This phenomenon can only be explained by suggesting all those individuals suffer of permanent brain freeze. How else can it be explained? Everyone in the Republican Party - Legislators and constituents alike - behave in ways which defy logic and any form of common sense. They are not under hypnosis, as it is probably impossible to mass hypnotize millions. One thing is certain, they...2019-11-081h 26SloozarSloozarWhy Are Republicans NOT Smart?No doubt that the passing of Elijah Cummings, the Chair of the Oversight Committee will be felt, more immediately by the Democrats but eventually by everyone in the country at a time when the other political Party, the GOP, seems to be on a mission to destroy the rule of law and shred the Constitution. His departure will be felt but the question I keep asking Why Are Republicans Not Smart?

That was a very long time ago. Starting with Barry Goldwater who campaigned for the presidency of the United States in 1964 and became the Republican nominee that year by sidelining Blacks and blaming minority for every ill in the country, the GOP has never looked back.  Today, with Donald Trump, an openly racist individual, in the Oval Office as the 45th president, Republican Legislators have made it official they have embraced r...2019-07-1852 minSloozarSloozarShould Donald Trump Be Impeached?Yes!

For a very longtime, Republicans have claimed and occupied the spotlight on national security, on fiscal conservatism, on Christianity, on family values, on morality. It didn't take much to remove the mask they've been wearing for decades now. The latest affront to our nation by a rogue president received no push back, no resistance, no rebuke from the president.  2019-04-061h 05SloozarSloozarTragedy of Human TraffickingHuman trafficking is a global problem; young children are kidnapped and forced to prostitutions and even bestiality.
