Hedges Destroys Reich

Lucas sent this to me.  Thanks, CL.

Hedges annihilates Reich, who hangs his hat on his "fifty-years" association with Clinton (like that is meaningful to anyone but himself).

I won't vote for him (it's Stein all the way) but I hope Trump trounces the beech.

The case for how bad-off America would be under Trump is over-blown.  If it's not, well, the country gets what it deserves.

Most people are too fucking stupid to understand what has happened. Bunch of suckers.

New Book

This is the POD collection of my pieces for CounterPunch online.

Don't hesitate to buy.  Like all of my work it'll soon become as collectible as dinosaur bones.

Tripping

Settling in at my daughter's place, first chance with internet access, all is well.

Will the Train Run on Time?

Scheduled to leave on the train in 2 hours.

I wonder if Trump could make the trains run on time?  Maybe we'll find out, ha!

Long trip, hard to sleep (I've done this before) but plenty of good sights along the way.  I'll try to shoot some video and stills.

I'm traveling by train to Grand Forks and then busing into Minnesota.

Looking forward to seeing my daughter and her family.

Too Funny

When Elizabeth Warren voiced her support for Hillary Clinton, the rabble began chanting — “Goldman Sachs, Goldman Sachs.”--RM

And on and on.  The rabble acting up in a good way.

Walkout

(There in spirit if not in person, she fell on the sword for the corrupt DNC, Hillary, Wall Street, the MIC, and the neocons.  She'll be rewarded even if she's tossed out of the House.)

One of the most common arguments being made against the walkout is that delegates will somehow abandon their chance to fight for Bernie’s politics and lose their voice by leaving. But the walkout will happen well after the platform and nomination votes are over. After the nomination roll call, the convention becomes ever more purely ceremonial, undemocratic, and scripted: The Hillary Show™--KS

Good move, highly symbolic protest of the machine if nothing else.

My Summer Vacation

Taking the train east tomorrow and outta here for a few weeks to visit family.

I'll keep you posted, some pics maybe.  Montana, North Dakota. Minnesota.

It's sad how this nation has forgotten trains.

RP Thomas/Spider

It lives in my garage. I feed it maimed flies. I maim them with a rubber band. Shoot them lightly and chuck the Saint Vitus twitch fly into the web. Spider is all over it. I like spiders and dislike flies.--RPT
