Egberto doesn't allow folks to get him on the emotional train. He has a long conversation wherein, after the caller rants a bit, they have a dialogue. Egberto states plainly that it's the system that's a problem and that he and the caller are really on the same team.

The caller is wayyyy tooo easy... That's what proves he is an idiot ... he needs to look inside and realize that his 'type' has never even been questioned. Riddle me that my friends.

And speaking of teams, Beau is amused at the outrage over the latest professional team name change.

Trump is aware that his base doesn't require evidence. He's not worried that he's gonna have to prove anything. He just needs it said.

Louis Rossman of Rossman repair group is fighting for the right to repair. He's discovered that the real distinction when it comes to representatives is who they are listening to. Do they listen to their constituents or to the corporate lobbyists?

The good news is that he's finding that more and more representatives are listening to him, rather than the lobbyists.

I'm sure he told the Repubs that he has a life-size doll of the Golden One in his bedroom ...

I don't know much about Louis. I've heard about the 'right to repair'. I find his perspective on the 'little guy' being able to make a difference useful. Louis isn't just wanting to tear everything down. He was cagey about who are more responsive to the 'little guy'. I hope he's right about the trend.

Garth Brooks is not suddenly 'woke'. He's been woke since the 90s.

the Paul Clan are morons with loud mouths ... As the nuns used to say, empty cans make the most noise ... when they're getting dragged behind a car in any case.

Morons with loud mouths used to just be American tourists.

Now it's our leadership.

Playing the game of pinning the responsibility on one leader or another does nothing to stop it from happening again.

I happened to catch a snippet of a good discussion on NPR today ... a deeper look and what it means ... the tragedy is that none of the standard guards will ever hear it.

"If you're looking down, you're not paying attention to what the people above you are doing."

Which will be flouting the law with impunity. Another boot on the neck of the poor. What's new? (don't be fooled by those saying it's about babies, it's not)
