We lose our freedoms a bit at a time. The cumulative effect at some point could be overwhelming.
America lost last night when Senator Elizabeth Warren was charged with impugning the character of a fellow member of the Senate. Jeff Sessions.
Does not make sense. Sessions the Senator was not the subject matter of the discussion. Sessions the nominee for Attorney Genera was. As such, he was fair game.
Especially since Warren was chastised and seated for wanting to read a letter by Coretta Scott Key re Sessions’ qualifications. Her letter of some 20 years ago when Sessions was a candidate for a federal judgeship. Read then, why not now?
The world’s greatest house for debate tainted itself last night by stifling fair comment.
My blog talk radio show last night interfered with watching the Syracuse/Clemson game.
Tuesday Talk with Key West Lou touched several Trump situations. Topped off with the Chicago Police Department’s unusually high suicide rate.
Syracuse, my Syracuse! Won again! By one point. 82-81. With a 3 pointer at the buzzer. God bless America! God bless Syracuse! Keep it up guys!
This morning finds the water level low. Tide out. Water calm.
A number of houses of prostitution existed in the Key West area in the 1930s and 1940s. The U.S. Naval Base provided most of the customers.
One was Alice Reid’s aka Mom’s Tea Room. She once was found guilty of bringing women across state lines for purposes of prostitution in violation of the Mann Act. Sentenced to three years. Another time, one of her ladies committed suicide. Cecelia Thompson Trunks. An overdose.
Whore houses are no more. Replaced by the socially acceptable strip joints/gentlemen’s clubs.
As well as escort services provided via telephone and the internet. Menu services. Order what you want.
Whether houses of ill repute of old or today’s more modern ways of finding sexual companionship, all wrong. Most of the women young ladies working under adverse conditions. In many instances, the products of human slavery.
Trump’s executive orders becoming cumulative. The orders and proposed legislation empower corporate America. The people losing along the way. A step at a time.
Stephen Bannon not happy with merely changing America. He is out to change the Vatican, also.
Bannon a Catholic. He is not happy with Pope Francis. A liberal. Bannon at best can be described as a far to the right conservative.
Politics everywhere. Even in the Vatican. Bannon has joined with Cardinal Burke to undermine and replace somehow Pope Francis. Burke a conservatve Church leader who was demoted by Pope Francis.
Lenin hoped his communist philosophy would ultimately take over the whole world. Bannon I suspect is hopeful that his far right beliefs will bring down not only government as we know it, but also the Catholic Church. Each to be replaced by new and radically different governments.
Yemen and the United States today. A perfect example of the tail wagging the dog.
Trump’s first commando raid was into Yemen last week. A disaster. One American killed, one $75 million helicopter lost, 14 al Qaeda soldiers killed, several citizens killed. One an 8 year old girl.
Yemen might be described as a split country. The U.S. recently assisted the good guys with an anti-terror ground mission.
Yemen is unhappy. Citizens were killed. A no no in most Middle East countries. Yemen’s people are upset. They have been burning the American flag in the streets.
They have also said they want no further anti-terror ground missions. No Americans to fight on their behalf. However, they will permit American military drones to continue their attacks. Also, they will permit American military advisers to remain.
A sort of biting the hand that feeds you situation.
Enjoy your day!
elizabeth ‘ you didn’t build that’ warren. I wonder why anyone would want to listen to anything she has to say. Thats time one can never get back.
Does McConnell really think he can stifle the voice of the opposition? This isn’t about Warren, this is about the MILLIONS in this country and around the world that are unified to make sure the so called “good ol’days” of bigotry, racism, elitism, etc. never return. McConnell may not see it coming, as is often the issue with bubble dwellers but I suggest he take heed and try to open his eyes. This is the beginning of a period of civic awareness not seen since the 1960’s. Trump should be given some credit for making the decent in America stand and fight!
Tough shit. Elections have consequences, remember?
You scumfuckers lost. Get used to it.
Once again, the Fount of Wisdom. What exactly is a scum fucker? Some pool cleaner I have yet to hear about. Your Mom must be so proud!
Don’t know. I’ll ask her when I get my dick out of her mouth.
So great how you elevate the tone and add to the conversation, Fred. Thanks for stopping by.
Louis, when you eventually blog negatively about President Trump tweeting that he sticks up for his Ivanka’s loss of major dept store great clothes order, you should also recall as Rush reminded us yesterday that your fav libdem President Truman wrote a nasty letter to a music critic who put down Truman’s opera singing daughter’s voice.
I’d bet my bottom dollar this is Diana Millikan. You’ve got to be in the running for the most exhaustingly dull person on Earth.
Steve, I am going to beat you up. With words. haha
