“The political Witch Hunt by the Radical Left Democrats, with New York now taking over the assignment, continues. It is dividing our Country like never before!”
—The former guy, responding in (yawn) the same old tired way to indictments handed down against his company this week.
“He’s a decrepit, sick, vile old man. I hope he burns in the hottest place in hell.”
—Janice Baker-Kinney, a Bill Cosby accuser who says he raped her in 1982.
“The act of throwing tortillas at a predominately Latino team is unacceptable and warrants sanctions.”
—California Interscholastic Federation news release in announcing that a high school basketball team was being stripped of its regional title after members of the mostly white team threw tortillas at a predominantly Latino opposing team following their game two weeks ago. (Just an extension of the Stephen Miller mentality, folks, and what of the coach who allowed this kind of behavior to take place?)
Reflections on our current world. The first person is pure evil and he has inspired the action in the 3rd one. The second one might reflect what victims believe, but justice has apparently been purchased in that case. Perception has definitely become reality today. When actual reality bites, it is going to bite hard.
Here is a LV exclusive. Years ago I worked on one episode of the Cosby Show as an actor. Cosby had a nasty attitude. Gratuitously so. More to the point there was a beautiful Latina working for the day-also as an actor. I recall starkly the look that Cosby gave her. Speculative and predatory..It struck me then and it makes perfect sense now. The come down from America’s Dad to America’s
serial rapist has been considerable.
If not for the damage Cosby has perpetrated to the lives of countless women
it would be satisfying. The question that obtains is what is wrong with this country when it elects and still gives credence to an unhinged megalomaniac
who also ran roughshod over the hearts, minds and rights of countless women
and brags about it?
No question America is teetering on the brink of the resolution of an experiment begun in 1776. As Benjamin Franklin said standing below the Liberty Bell when asked “What kind of a country are you giving us?” “A republic…..IF YOU CAN HOLD IT.”
Enjoy the ride! Our democracy will hold and we will endure. I am still learning at 76 and refuse to even think we can’t stand up to Trumpites and precious Christians/religious zealots. I get angered at the propaganda and lies by the Repugs, but I will never throw away what I learned at home, church, and school. Please contact your state lawmakers to say no to the looney gun nuts who want a veto session and if you think it is a good idea, please contact me. thanks ron thompson
As far as the basketball coach goes, he’ll run for congress as a Trump republican and get elected overwhelmingly.
And he would probably have been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom had this happened a couple of years ago.
