Political Reality is on an Endless Loop Today

Bernie Sanders officially kicked off his campaign for president last Saturday morning at Brooklyn college.  They had it on C-Span yesterday and the miking was different.   The original on Saturday was a big garbled due to over-modulation.  I caught Bernie Sanders’ campaign rally in Brooklyn where Bernie grew up.  I listened to the introductory guy who said just how active Sanders was in protesting for student and black rights.   He was man-handled by the Chicago police when they tried to put Black stuents in rat infested trailers for over-crowded classrooms while white classrooms went empty.  Sanders covered all of the main issue but some things were a little unrealistic.  He wants of course paid maternity leave and comprehensive health care.  He wants justice of all forms including racial justice and “environmental” justice.  He wants free college education for everyone in America and his most sweeping statement was to  guarantee a job for every American at fifteen dollars an hour.  He was more hard left than even I thought.  He was strong on gun regulation.  I think it’s a good thing that he lays it all out to get it before the American public.  We can debate it and the others can offer criticism of certain planks.  The speech lasted a half hour and it could have gone longer.  I went out for a smoke and when I returned Bill had it on 

It doesn't look like President Trump will ever be either impeached or indicted now.  He can't be impeached because that is considered "too political".   The democrats are worried about what Republicans think more than their own wishes.  And the President can't be indicted because you can't indict a sitting president so he has to be impeached first and removed from office by the US Senate so he can then be elligable for indictment and prison time.   I caught Trump's C-Pack speech excerpts last Saturday.  The speech lasted two hours and Sanders' speech lasted only forty minutes according to C-Span.  The President just rambled on and on.  

Sixty Minutes had these teenagers who filed a law suit against the federal covernment and the courts have accepted the case.  It’s on climate change and he government has known of the dangers of hydro-carbons since 1965.  I wish them all the luck in the world.  Then there was a thing on trains and safety but a lot of the time I was getting my medication.  Then it was on getting girls into computer sciences.  They are there at grammar school level but drop out in middle school.  I guess the dating scene is more important and they want to appear feminine or something.  Anyhow when you get to eighteen and college level, the girls are almost gone.
