"Buddhanature is the innate primordial freedom of the mind, which is naturally imbued with wisdom, compassion, power, and bliss." Karl Brunnholzl Capitalism is, or is soon to become a dying economic practice (system). The reasons are certainly many, complex, and interconnected. But the primary reason is that capitalism, particularly in the USA, has become entirely focused on increased productivity to maximize profits and increase shareholder's stake, ie increase the wealth of individual shareholders. Which means in truth, as well as in straight talk, to insure that the real (and obscene) wealth is funneled to and concentrated in the top 1 or 2 percent of the nation. When self interest becomes the driving force behind every decision, and selfishness essentially becomes a "virtue" as it is with folks like Trump, then the footing on which a society stands on begins to crumble.

RN... speaking of cowards, here's how the Trumpistas think. Check out this quote. In a post about Biden, one blogger wrote this about the former VP...

A direct quote identifying former VP Biden as a liar, but Pres Trump, lies not. Rather he makes a "TON of non factual comments."
Since when are non factual comments not lies? This is what the GOP has become as they work to bend and jettison all past policies and beliefs in service to a lost presidency.
Well Dave, it is possible that an honest person, believing what info they have to be the truth, will pass that along unaware it is not really factual. Having said that Dotard donnie is demonstrably NOT that honest person. Given his thousands of documented lies and many conspiracy theories only a complete dimwir or tRump cultist would use that clearly ridiculous line.
DeleteAnd yes Dave you are right. The GOP in majority share has and is doing exactly as you say.
Oh RN, I totally agree with you. The problem for the GOP and folks like the one who posted the above is that level of grace is only accorded to GOP politicians, never Dems and certainly not Obama or Clinton. let's remember "YOU LIE" shouted from the floor of the House during a SOTU address.
ReplyDeleteOff topic, unless the topic is Trump, I see his campaign is asking for earlier debates this year. Since when do presidents go begging challengers for debates? The answer of course is never, unless they are worried about something. No one ahead in the polls, as Trump alleges he is, ever wants to debate, because everything that can happen to a front runner at a debate is bad, bad, bad.
Biden should tell him to stuff it.
Biden should tell him to stuff it.,
DeleteTotally agree Dave!
If you buy into the lie, you are stuck with it. Ask the millions of starving desperate Germans
ReplyDeletearound May 8, 1945. There were a few true believer, many enablers and a whole ton of suckers.
IMO, Trump has been a crook since he was a kid and incapable of change. The man is a waste of skin.
Yes BB Idaho. As well as a total waste of perfectly good oxygen.
DeleteBut he sure does pollute every environment he steps into. If only he would disappear back under the rock from which he crawled out from.
