"Its no longer an election..."

the remarkable thing about driving a 2025 model automobile after driving only a 2004 or older vehicle is that you are not likely to realize how many more features new vehicles have...i never considered owning a newer vehicle until having spent 8 hours driving one across the state...so if i win the lottery or some other financial windfall, i might consider driving a newer vehicle...but i am mostly thinking an older vehicle that i can work on or public transit...well i watched mr trump announcing his united kingdon trade deals this morning..."WHERE'S THE BEEF!...i guess it is in the usa until they buy it...the news from "OPEN AIR AUCSHWITZ" formerly know as Gaza is very grim indeed...nothing much to releive the agony of the Palistinians...police officers found not guilty of abusing unto death a citizen of tennessee...but these cops were black so i guess its just OK...watching the non-useful talking heads on the c-span station i did see a mr. steny hoyer say something that seems increasingly evident...many of these issues are a distraction and meant to keep the legislators from discussing issues that keep this nation at a standstill...not to my surprise i heard the lady attorney general announce how much drugs and guns and money has been taken from the "MONSTERS"...(this term is way over used)...she also announced that several hundred people had been arrested for sex crimes...several of these were people with badges...GET THEM OFF THE PAYROLL!...heard that $1.5 billion is spent yearly...wait for it...wait for it...on "KIDAULT" toys...toy for adults...wow...to acknowledge the 50th anniversery of the fall of saigon i thought i might illuminate a powerful photograph which has been circulating for more than half a century...the image of a vietnamese man with a pistol in his hand pushed up against the head of another vietnamese man while blowing his brains out has always been described as a bad person doing something to a good person...but a person who was there said the gunman was a vietnamese chief of police and the dead person a vietcong who had just been caught at a mass grave of civilians...i guess the fog of war takes a long time to dissipate...and i would like to comment on a comment made on the the series "Criminal Minds"...namely "spencer" is sitting at a electronic gambling machine waiting for a team member when an attractive woman sitting next to him becomes curious as his machine tallys more and more winnings...the black team member comes up and "spencer" gets up to leave with him...the woman tells "spencer" that the machine has $2000 dollars on it..."spencer" tells her to keep it...as they walk away the black guy tells "spencer" that he just gave $2000 to a prostitute, which i suppose is meant to suggest that this woman is not worthy of any kindness...this seems like it reinforces a lot of amimosity towards a sex worker and promotes negativity towards people who have historically been oppressed...too bad...
