NO I DIDN'T STUTTER; yes I regard "impeachment" as an archetypal Neoliberal crusade, infinite noise and zero action, intended to preserve the ecogenocidal Big Lie of USian "democracy" by protecting the perpe-traitors whether governmental or cor-pirate while providing sufficient circuses to distract Moron Nation from its ever-worsening lack of bread whether edible or spendable.
(For detailed elaboration of my views about impeachment -- which thus far is the Democratic (sic) Party's scam of the century -- go to comment threads here, here and here. )
Now on to an anthology of reports I recommend as essential to our understanding of the ever-more-nightmarish era in which we Working Class folk abide (upper and lower case -- "upscale" and "downscale" in newsroom parlance -- as in originals) :
Dangerous Levels of Warming Locked In by Planned Jump in Fossil Fuels Output
As I concluded last year and have been saying ever since -- no doubt why I am the target of (thus far) low-intensity electronic harassment -- the ever-more-blatantly obvious explanation for such deliberately ecogenocidal policies is that our Neoliberal Masters have weaponized terminal climate change to serve their Shock-Doctrine agenda of perpetuating their technological omnipotence by radical population reduction. Which if you read their ideological sequels to Mein Kampf is to be by elimination of 90 to 95 percent of the present global population: thus to (A)-exterminate all so-called "surplus" humans and (B)-position the survivors for easy reduction to inescapable slavery by their omnipotent Masters. Indeed it is not hyperbole to state the Masters' long-term goal is to transmogrify the entire planetary economy into a modern variant of the antebellum slave plantation, policed of course by the highest-tech, most viciously zero-tolerance slave-patrol surveillance ever known. (Cheap, too -- especially with all-seeing airborne drones that kill on sight.)
Patriot Act extension concealed in funding bill passed by House Democrats
The party of Barack the Betrayer and the Clinton War-Crime Family continues its real-world function as the Fifth Column of the party of Ronnie the Nazi and Gerald the Pardoner. (And yet Moron Nation is brain-warped-ignorant enough to continue believing the Democratic (sic) Party, like Jesus or Santa Claus, will rescue it from Neoliberal ecogenocide.)
Under Trump, LGBTQ Progress Is Being Reversed in Plain Sight
A core part of Abrahamic religion's misogynistic agenda is exterminating human sexual freedom and (again) reducing all women to chattel by keeping them barefoot and pregnant and otherwise effectively burka-ed on the outskirts of town and beyond the Pale of society. (This of course is but a subset of the inbred misogyny by which all three Abrahamic religions -- Judasism, Christianity, Islam -- justify their ecogenocidal hatred of our Mother Earth.) (Disclosure: I have lesbian and gay kinfolk, hence am acutely conscious of how this often-deadly malevolence already wracks their lives.)
Unprecedented 'Architecture of Surveillance' Created by Facebook and Google Poses Grave Human Rights Threat
As I have pointed out more times than I can count, what else might one expect when the computer as we know it is a product of IBM's collaboration with Nazi Germany to facilitate the Holocaust, and the Internet itself is the purposeful creation of the USian imperial war machine?
Half of American Men Can’t Handle the Prospect of a Woman President
Misogynists R Us. See also New Trump Advisory Board Member: ‘Men And Women Are Not Equal’

Christianity as USian state religion: yet another of the innumerable atrocities piusly inflicted.
The US Is Not 'Losing' Its Democracy, It's Already Long Gone
As I said on the comment thread, "However if the Capitalists are to be properly caged and controlled, we must first recognize that they are all -- every patriarchal one of them -- quite literally the deadliest predators ever to prey on this planet."
Virginia labor targets ‘right to work’; governor may stand in the way
Again, the party of the Betrayer in definitive Fifth Column action.
Michael Bloomberg Formalizes Anti-Gun, Climate Crisis Campaign Agenda
Exactly as I predicted, with Bloomberg's tyrannical intent camouflaged by instigating fearful hatred against legal firearms owners and pretending to cope with the climate-crisis. In truth the climate-crisis part is still more Obamanoid "change we can believe in," political sleight-of-hand as maliciously deft as anything I have yet seen. Meanwhile ask yourself why -- if not to clear the way for final imposition of zero-tolerance Neoliberal tyranny -- would our Masters be imposing forcible disarmament on legal, law-abiding firearms owners? (Alas, Moron Nation is ignorant enough -- and therefore gullible enough -- to fall for Bloomberg's lies.)
Trump administration food stamp cuts spell hunger and destitution for millions
As I said in the comment thread of an earlier story on this atrocity: "Again, genocide by any other name: the defining policy of Neoliberalism, the rationale for which is given by Adolf Hitler in Mein Kampf (NSDAP Printing Office, Munich: 1930; Ford Translation, Elite Minds Inc., U.S.A.: 2010). See especially page 247: The struggle for daily bread conquers the weak, sickly and undecided...If any other process were the choice of Nature, all development and evolution would cease and the progress so far achieved would reverse...Given equal opportunities for survival and reproduction, the worst part of a species would increase so much faster than the smaller numbers of quality members...A correction that favors the dominance of the better individual must take place. Presumably I need not point out that slashing food-stamps for nearly 700,000 hopelessly impoverished humans is just such a 'correction.'" The earlier story is here.
“Booming” Economy Means More Bad Jobs and Faster Race to the Bottom
The core intent of the Neoliberals writ in homeless camps and permanently destroyed human lives.
Responses of African-American Women to Washington’s Paid Family & Medical Leave Program
Recognizing the intensifying sadism of Moron Nation's resurrected racism, Black women say they're terrified of being fired should they dare claim the benefits to which in Washinghton state they are now legally entitled -- a modern variant on minority-peoples' old-as-the-Empire fear of being lynched merely for asserting their rights.
Here -- because whenever possible I like to end these periodic preachments with less-pessimistic reports -- is further evidence dogs (and canines in general), are this planet's true apex species: Loyal sheepdog tries to hunt down truck transporting his flock to the slaughterhouse
