THE BIDENS ARE A DISGRACE TO THE COUNTRY
Horrific video here: clear signs of early onset Parkinson’s disease and dementia.
This is really disgusting how his power-obsessed wife drags this poor old man around, hopped-up on meds & clearly has no idea what is going on around him most of the time. Shame on Democrats for carrying this on for so long…

The problem isn’t just that Biden is old. The problem is he’s insane. Only a madman would not consider a nuclear holocaust/war an existential threat, saying “the ONLY existential threat to humanity is climate change.” And this insane person has the power to launch a nuclear weapon. How could we even consider it would be safe to reelect this man?

Does anyone really believe after seeing the debate that Biden is in charge? The real power lies with the Deep State, Intel agencies, and propaganda media who got him elected in the first place. They don’t want Donald Trump elected because they’re afraid he will expose and dismantle this shadow government pulling the strings.

2024-07-01 "ALL OVER FOR BIDEN, HE CAN'T GO ON"
‘Humiliation’ President stands ‘frozen with his mouth agape’ as Jill Biden speaks for him
Sky News host Chris Kenny says it was a “bad look” when First Lady of America Jill Biden had to speak for President Joe Biden after the presidential debate last week.
“We had the, I suppose, the humiliation, really, of seeing Jill Biden, his wife, having to speak for him,” he said.
“It’s a bad look, and she’s revving up the crowd, and he’s just sort of standing there frozen with his mouth agape.”

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. http://joebiden.com

We don’t choose our chapter of history. But we can choose who leads us through it. In this moment, with the perils the world is facing, there is nobody I would rather have sitting in the Oval Office than my husband. Joe tells the truth. Donald Trump lies every chance he gets.

I will respect the limits of presidential powers that I have for three and a half years. But any president, including Donald Trump, will now be free to ignore the law. I concur with what Justice Sotomayor wrote today: "With fear for our democracy—I dissent." So do I.

here is my reply to their posts ...
For some people the day comes when they have to declare the great Yes or the great No. Yet that no—the right no— undermines him all his life.

C.P. Cavafy "Che fece .... il gran rifiuto"
Some people come a day
where should the big Yes or the big No
to say
The introductory verses of the poem present us with the poet's reflection from the beginning. At some point "some people" are asked to choose something extremely important in their lives, i.e. they are faced with a crucial dilemma, with such an important decision that will define their lives as a whole. It is the moment when they will have to say the big Yes or the big No. This yes can be about either compromising with something required of them or taking on an extremely important responsibility, and correspondingly, no works as a refusal to forced compromises or excessive responsibilities. The poet, not wanting to limit the meaning range of his verses, does not define what this important decision is about, thus leaving these verses open to multiple interpretations, but also ready to express the reflection of many people.
Cavafy, however, emphasizes that this poem concerns "some people", not all, and this is because for many people such important dilemmas are never posed in their lives.
It is immediately apparent who has it
ready within himself the Yes, and saying it beyond
it goes to his honor and conviction.
Of the people who will be faced with the important dilemma, those who are ready to respond to what is asked of them, the people who have the Yes ready within them, are immediately apparent. They are the people who appear ready and willing to live up to the demands that others have of them, they are the ones who want, in every way, to appear worthy of the expectations that exist for them. People who have the big Yes ready, choose to fulfill the demands raised by their social environment and in doing so succeed in being accepted by others and honored for their choice.
It is, of course, important to realize that the people who will say yes, come to this decision because it is in line with their views and inner needs. They choose to answer positively, not because they are forced to, but because that decision fulfills their need to live in accord with their position and in accord with what is expected and required of them.
The Denyer does not repent. If asked again,
no he would say again. And yet he pays him
that no - the right - throughout his life.
Those who will refuse, those who will say the big No, reach this decision consciously and no matter how many times they were faced with the same dilemma, they would still say no. And yet, they will pay for this no throughout their lives, because their refusal means that they choose not to compromise with the demands and claims of others, they choose to break with social expectations and conventions, carving out the their own way. The big No requires great strength and determination, as society does not forgive those who do not conform to its dictates. The big No accompanies forever the one who dared to say it and weighs on him like a constant censure, like a constant disapproval. And while the people who will say no needed more courage and more mental strength, than those who said yes, they do not receive the same honor and respect. On the contrary, they experience the rejection and rejection of their fellow citizens, just because they did not accept to live according to the traditional concepts. The no that people who have the courage to refuse will say is right for them, because it goes along with their beliefs and opinions, that is, it expresses their personal identity, but it does not agree with society's opinions, that's why and are punished for their refusal.
The great refusal, therefore, is according to the poet a choice that requires mental strength and dynamism and cannot be made by cowardly or weak people. Cavafy, that is, taking the verse from Dante's Inferno: "che fece per vilta il gran rifiuto" removes per vilta (from cowardice), which in Dante's text refers
==
to a specific person, and gives us a different version of people who say the big No. That is to say, while Dante's verse is the initial trigger for Cavafy's poem, Cavafy moves away from Dante's thought of the one who made the great denial out of cowardice, and presents a poem to honor the great deniers, those people who they have the courage and strength to say no to current morality, social conventions, outdated poetic techniques and everything else society tries to impose on people, locking them into a certain way of living and thinking. Cavafy knows what it means to say no and how much it costs to say no, which is why he does not accept the per vilta of the Dante's verse for any reason.
In a personal comment the poet records his own thought about the one who said the big no, leaving Dante's "from cowardice" aside.
"He refused because he thought conscientiously either that he was unfit for the work or that the work was unworthy of him or that the work should not be carried out or some similar logical reason. But someone else took up the task and succeeded—perhaps because he was the right person for that particular task, or because he possessed some special means, which altered or facilitated or improved the task or its results. The success of this other person reflects against the Denyer, and this is why, although the Denyer knew that his no was right, yet this No weighs on him throughout his life - they make it weigh on him , the suspicions and chatter and slanders and misrepresentations of many."

Dante's Inferno
InOurTime 20081023 Dante's Inferno
In Our Time
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Dante’s ‘Inferno’ - a medieval journey through the nine circles of Hell. “Abandon hope, all ye who enter here”. This famous phrase is written above the gate of Hell in a 14th century poem by the Italian poet Dante Alighieri. The poem is called the ‘Divine Comedy’ and Hell is known as ‘Dante’s Inferno’. It is a lurid vision of the afterlife complete with severed heads, cruel and unusual punishments and devils in frozen lakes. But the inferno is much more than a trip into the macabre - it is a map of medieval spirituality, a treasure house of early renaissance learning, a portrait of 14th century Florence, and an acute study of human psychology. It is also one of the greatest poems ever written. With, Margaret Kean, University Lecturer in English and College Fellow at St Hilda’s College, University of Oxford; John Took, Professor of Dante Studies at University College London and Claire Honess, Senior Lecturer in Italian at the University of Leeds and Co-Director of the Leeds Centre for Dante Studies.

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
On 2021-01-06, the United States Capitol Building in Washington, D.C., was attacked by a mob[34][35][36] of supporters of then-U.S. president Donald Trump, two months after his defeat in the 2020 presidential election. They sought to keep Trump in power by occupying the Capitol and preventing a joint session of Congress counting the Electoral College votes to formalize the victory of President-elect Joe Biden. The attack was ultimately unsuccessful in preventing the certification of the election results. According to the bipartisan House select committee that investigated the incident, the attack was the culmination of a seven-part plan by Trump to overturn the election.[37][38] Within 36 hours, five people died: one was shot by Capitol Police, another died of a drug overdose, and three died of natural causes, including a police officer.[c][29][39] Many people were injured, including 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within seven months.[30] Damages caused by attackers exceeded $2.7 million.[40]
Encouraged by Trump,[41][42] on January 5 and 6 thousands of his supporters gathered in Washington, D.C., to support his false claims that the 2020 election had been "stolen by emboldened radical-left Democrats"[43][44][45][46] and to demand that then-Vice President Mike Pence and Congress reject Biden's victory.[47] Starting at noon on January 6,[48] at a "Save America" rally on the Ellipse, Trump gave a speech in which he repeated false claims of election irregularities[49] and said, "If you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore."[50][51] As Congress began the electoral vote count, thousands of attendees, some armed, walked to the Capitol, with hundreds breaching police perimeters.[52][53] Among the rioters were leaders of the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers militia groups, who conspired to use violence and interfere with the peaceful transfer of power.[54]
The FBI estimates that between 2,000 and 2,500 people entered the Capitol Building on January 6,[55][56][57] with some vandalizing and looting,[58][59] including the offices of then-House speaker Nancy Pelosi and other Congress members.[60] Rioters also assaulted Capitol Police officers and reporters, and attempted to capture and harm lawmakers.[61] A gallows was erected west of the Capitol, with rioters chanting to "Hang Mike Pence" after he rejected requests, from Trump and others, to use authority they believed he had to overturn the election results.[62] With building security breached, Capitol Police evacuated and locked down both chambers of Congress and several buildings in the Complex.[63] Rioters occupied the empty Senate chamber while federal law enforcement officers defended the evacuated House floor.[64][65] Pipe bombs were found at both the Democratic National Committee and Republican National Committee headquarters, and Molotov cocktails were discovered in a vehicle near the Capitol.[66][67] Trump resisted sending the National Guard to quell the mob.[68] Later that afternoon, in a Twitter video, he reasserted the inaccurate claim that the election was "fraudulent", and told his supporters to "go home in peace".[69][70] The Capitol was cleared of rioters by mid-evening,[71] and the electoral vote count was resumed and completed by the early morning of January 7. Pence declared President-elect Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris victorious. Pressured by his cabinet, the threat of removal, and many resignations, Trump later conceded to an orderly transition of power in a televised statement.[72][73]
A week after the attack, the House of Representatives impeached Trump for incitement of insurrection, making him the only U.S. president to be impeached twice.[74] In February, after Trump had left office, the Senate voted 57–43 in favor of conviction, but fell short of the required two-thirds, resulting in his acquittal.[75] Senate Republicans blocked a bill to create a bipartisan independent commission to investigate the attack,[76][61] so the House instead approved a select investigation committee consisting of seven Democrats and two Republicans.[d][77][78] They held nine televised public hearings on the attack,[79] voted to subpoena Trump,[80] and recommended that the Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecute Trump. On August 1, 2023, following a special counsel investigation, Trump was indicted on four charges.[81][82]
As of May 6, 2024, 1,424 people have been charged with federal crimes relating to the event.[83] As of May 6, 2024, 820 defendants had pleaded guilty; 255 people have pleaded guilty to felonies, while 565 have pleaded guilty to misdemeanors.[83] As of the same date, 884 defendants have been sentenced, with 541 people receiving a jail sentence as a penalty.[83]
Some participants in the attack were linked to far-right extremist groups or conspiratorial movements, including the Oath Keepers, Proud Boys, and Three Percenters.[84][85] Numerous plotters were convicted of seditious conspiracy, including Oath Keepers and Proud Boys members;[86] the longest sentence to date was given to then-Proud Boy chairman Enrique Tarrio, who was sentenced to 22 years in prison.[87]
