How much more clearly can we state colonization and corruption for cash, than as expressed by American oligarchs?–

Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, praises ‘very valuable’ potential of Gaza’s ‘waterfront property’  — “It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but I think from Israel’s perspective, I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner added. “But I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”

Meanwhile, family member and WH networker Trump continues a seeming manic religious attack in the USA. a nation supposedly based upon religious freedom.  —  Trump draws ire for saying Jews who vote for Democrats hate their religion, Israel  – “Any Jewish person that votes for Democrats hates their religion, they hate everything about Israel and they should be ashamed of themselves,” said Trump, who hopes to unseat President Joe Biden, a Democrat, in the Nov. 5 U.S. election.

 —end of trump embarrassingly but typically offensive rhetoric—-

Trump does embrace Christian Nationalism which is peculiar for this character, but fine as a personal choice, if not foisted onto We The People as a governing construct.  America isn’t a theocracy.

All religions on a private level are valid as long as they don’t hurt others, including Jewish, Christian, Muslim, Buddhist, pagan…..whatever.  The hubris of patriarchy is to cudgel We The People over morality, which in itself is immoral.

And to get back to brother Kushner, his comfort with corruption and colonization is openly expressed as to represent the desultory Trump-crew view of life, now applied against Muslims as openly as to suggest the same is their attitude toward We The People.

The double talk is obvious.

Consider the question put to Mr. Snead on C-Span about ranked-choice voting.  His answer sounded like “Duopoly will think for you so you won’t need to”.  Mr. Snead says ranked-choice voting is too complicated.  The Duopoly that has insinuated into the voting process contrary to principles in the US Constitution, they would prefer robotic voter participation in which we must “hold our noses and vote” for the choices of the Duopoly.  In FACT, the simplicity of the Russian elections.

In 2021, the Honest Elections Project held a series of conferences with state lawmakers and leading conservative advocacy groups such as ALEC and the Heritage Foundation to train them on implementing more restrictive voting legislation, such as mandatory voter ID laws, which disproportionately disenfranchise minority voters. As a result, by the end of 2021, more than 440 bills aimed at restricting voting access were introduced at the state level, and 19 states enacted some form of voting restriction. 

In September 2022, HEP filed an amicus brief in Moore v. Harper – a case that will decide whether “the state legislative body, independent of any constraints by state courts or other laws, have sole authority to regulate federal elections” and has been seen by many commentators as a path to election subversion. HEP’s brief, in this case, pushed the independent state legislature theory – a fringe legal theory that gained steam among conservatives in recent years and threatens to wipe out most checks and balances regarding federal elections.
