Ferryboat's JournalSocial security numbers are required to access federal programs
This fact needs to be emphasized in every conversation about the current shutdown.
Low information voters need to hear this everyday. Rethugs push the idea that democrats want to give free Healthcare to illegal immigrants.
Without a ssn it's not gonna happen.
Passing through Coville Wa, No Kings protest
12 Trump supporters, up 1 block across the street?
Full block packed curb to sidewalk with our fellow resistance.
12 to 1 est.
Side note; road trip took me through Metaline Falls.
Absolutely no T signs, which is quite remarkable given the political leanings of Northern Wa and Northern Idaho.

Who knew a Doonesbury character would come up with an acceptable coping method.
Road trip to North Idaho
Visiting friend in Priest Lake, very beautiful place.
800 miles rt
5 Trump signs of which 2 were 2016. Do they count?
2 Biden signs.
My buddy warned me that everyone I would meet were trumpsters.
I countered that they were conservatives that lost their way.
Everyone was extremely nice and gracious. No political discussion with anyone other than my misguided friend.
Sunday OP NYT Donald Trump Is Unfit to Lead
No link.
Of course this was written before the attempt. Brutal reminder of what matters.
Specifically these topics were addressed;
Moral fitness
Principled leadership
Character
A presidents words
Rule of law
Well worth reading.
NYT, Careful Strategy to Trump Inquiry Left Garland Racing the Clock
Great article detailing the pace of DOJ investigations relating to J6.
One part of the article is especially interesting regarding the goings on at the Willard Hotel and those in attendance.
A quote from a war criminal
NYT obit of Henry
Writing at age 23 of his encounters with concentration survivors in Europe.
" The intellectuals, the idealist, the men of high morals had no chance".
Something to keep in mind in the unlikely event of tfg return to power.
2600 mile road trip, how many DT vs JB signs?
Traveled through Washington, Idaho, Montana and Wyoming over the last 2 weeks in predominately red rural areas.
Zero Joe Biden signs, only 2 DT signs. I avoid all political discussions when traveling but did meet 1 person more than willing to share his opinion on the injustice being done to TFG.
There needs to be consequences.....
Have been watching a Frontline Program on the Pegasus Project. An Israeli company NSO who for a price sells software which is a go to for tyrants without a adequate intelligence service. Allowing hacking of any phone number.
It was a comment from the head of Whatsapp, Will Cathcart " if there are no consequences for those who try to break that software to commit human rights abuses, there will always be someone trying to do it".
Something applies to J6, gun violence, tax evasion ,corporate malfeasance etc.....
Actions must have conquesneses!
Call out those politicians who take money and than sell out those they profess to represent. Of course one problem is low IQ single issue voters dont pay attention nor do they care if they vote against their economic interests because they get to own the libs. Fuck them, try to educate the younger generation.
Allowing banks to pay a fine for malfeasance is not enough.
Allowing corporations to pay a fine with a empty promise to do better is not enough.
If corporations have rights accorded to flesh and blood individuals, than they should be subjected to the same penalties.
Imprisonment for corporate officers, dissolvement of corporate entities with assets going to the public coffers.
You want to solve illegal immigration?
Throw the head of the company in jail! Not some low level manager.
The head of the company! That would stop it.
But then what would farmers do? They need illegal immigration, I dont see any white boys in the fields in Skagit county when I drive through 2x a day.
Give those who come across the border a path to citizenship. The majority in this country are descendants of immigrants. Our forefathers are what made America great.
Just a rant from a wine addled cynic.
