Hello. If you prefer to volunteer with or donate to community organizations, non-profits, or other groups that want to elect Harris and are not funded by the Democratic Party, I created the list below and sent it out to friends and family all over the country. I hope this list is helpful to you as well.
I welcome you to copy and share this list with others.
I am going to post this list each time Michael sends out one of his missives, adding to the list whenever I learn of more options to share.
Please make me and everyone else aware of any other groups/organizations that have campaigns or mobilization efforts going to prevent Trump from getting elected by posting the information as a comment to my post.
Experts who study these things have seen that such simple actions as personal postcards, phone calls, or texts to specifically identified voters can and do make a difference. The organizations below are either the experts or are groups that partner with the experts. Some of these organizations promote who to vote for, while others just encourage infrequent voters to vote, knowing that the people they contact typically vote Democratic. All of these groups can benefit from your time and/or your donations (some of which can be tax-deductible).
The ENVIRONMENTAL VOTER PROJECT identifies millions of non-voting environmentalists and turns them into consistent voters. I have done postcards and phonebanks with them.
THIRD ACT and ELDERS CLIMATE ACTION primarily recruit Seniors as volunteers, but all are welcome. Their campaigns include helping young people get registered to vote.
SEED THE VOTE teams up with organizations like PEOPLE’S ACTION and SHOWING UP FOR RACIAL JUSTICE (SURJ) with Phonebanking campaigns of volunteers calling voters in Swing States.
THE CIVICS CENTER organizes high school voter registration. A huge event they do is High School Voter Registration Week, which will be Sept. 23-27, 2024. They can use volunteer help with that and other events.
THE ARIZONA DREAM ACT COALITION provides assistance to DREAMERS. They also contact legal Latino voters and mixed-status families to help those who can legally vote to register to vote and then encourage them to vote.
As Michael has shared, VOTE.ORG will give everyone all the info they need to register and vote — and to double check their registration: https://www.vote.org/
VOTE FROM ABROAD helps US citizens living abroad register to vote and request absentee ballots.
David French is a conservative opinion columnist at “The New York Times.” Commonly voting for Republicans, on 8/19/24 French did an oral piece for the NY Times on why he is voting for Harris. These links go to an AI-generated transcript of the oral piece and directly to the oral piece:
There were several Republican speakers at the Democratic National Convention, explaining why they are Republicans who are choosing to support Harris instead of Trump in this election. One of them was former Georgia Lieutenant Governor Geoff Duncan: https://www.c-span.org/video/?c5129329/lt-gov-geoff-duncan
Former US Attorney General Loretta Lynch and over 40 former DOJ Officials thank Pres. Biden and endorse VP Kamala Harris for President of the United States:
Will you please encourage the Harris Walz campaign to also leverage text banking, which is supposed to yield better results than phone banking? A lot of people don't accept calls from unknown numbers these days but do read text messages where they have the flexibility to respond hours or even days later to engage in a conversation. I had done a lot of text banking for the Biden-Harrris campaign in 2020 with encouraging results. I am surprised that the Harris Walz campaign is not yet leveraging it.
I just wish shed speak up about our country’s involvement in the genocide Israel’s committing. Of course I, and most will still vote for her, the stakes being so high, but it’s still true that her lack of taking an appropriate stance is putting our democracy at risk, many, many voters will NOT overlook this and give Trump the ability to slip through the net, all over again. Point being, just because no one’s discussing it here, that doesn’t mean it’s being forgotten by every voter!
Dick Cheney is a war criminal for getting us into the 2003 Iraq war. And 911 was an inside job. Look at WTC 7 which came straight down which is impossible if fires weaken only one side of the building (fires can't weaken all walls at the same time so that they collapse at the same time, the cooler air flowing to the fire keeps parts of a floor cooler while the other side of the building burns). NATO held multiple war game excersises that day which confused the response to the real attack on the towers. Michael Moore should know this yet he is unconcerned that the Democrat Party has become Dick Cheney's new party and the warmonger party. Look at the Ukraine war which was triggered by NATO starting in 2014 (Victoria Nuland sent billions to Ukraine to start the Maidon revolution and put in power pro-Nato politicians). Read what Col. Douglas MacGregor says about Nato starting that war. Doesn't Moore read this stuff? Is he secretly corrpupt? I'm a former democrat turned independent.
I don't like to make phone calls, because I don't like to receive them. They are a nuisance. There needs to be a better way to contact voters. I like canvassing, and am hoping the Oregon Democratic Party will have arrangements to canvass in my neighborhood.
I agree with both of you, in a way. Of course, I wish Kamala Harris would speak out strongly about getting stopping sending armaments ti Netanyahu. But it's imperative that we all vote for her in any case, because if we don't, we will end up with a fascist dictator.
I n my opinion...the US government is controlled by Big Money..Corporations...Billionaires....Israel .....AIPAC and other Pacs....Weapons companies..in other words....we do not have a democracy right now~ we already do not have a US Congress that votes on behalf of the people who vote for them......a majority of those in the US Congress vote the way AIPAC (Israel via AIPAC and other PACS controls the Congress) and Weapons Companies and Billionaires, tell them to vote (The Supreme Court ruled in Citizens United that Corporations and special interests have a "free speech" right to pump millions of dollars into our elections, often in complete secrecy".....also....it is not our vote...that puts someone in the White House~ it is the electoral vote.....Hillary won the popular vote in 2016 by 120,000 votes...Trump won because he went into the states that Hillary chose not to go into...she lost the Electoral vote ...Trump won....Kamala has not sought out the votes of US Palestinians...barred US Palestinians who were invited to the DNC from entering the convention....Walz, as governor, refused to speak with a group Palestinians living in his state that asked for a meeting....and Walz invested the pension funds of the people of his state into companies in the US that enable the Israeli economy.....Genocide/Ethnic Cleansing/Mass Murder are War Crimes...the current US Administration is complicit in the Genocide of Palestinians...Kamala has stated Clearly...that she will continue the current course taken by the Biden administration~
Wishing will not change the trajectory of what Kamala is committed to...in my opinion she has said ...she will follow the current Biden's admins...re $$$ and Bombs to Israel.....The Good News is...that the Israeli IDF forces have resignations of top commanders...the Israeli economy is collapsing ....Israelis leaving Israel in large numbers....many countries have stopped trading with Israel....keep on..keep on pushing for a ceasefire....contact your Senators and Reps..and tell them you want a CEASEFIRE NOW! CALL them!!! Tell them stop the money and weapons of death going to Israel...May there be Peace~
You are absolutely right except for one thing. You can't shame or pressure someone who is bought and for. You have to expose them for the traitors that they are. Please read what I posted today.
absolutely, I agree " you can't shame or pressure someone who is bought and paid for"~~~~~ as we see daily.....however we can keep pushing against the system....keep on exposing the system....keep on protesting against the system...keep on working on local levels...state levels...and pushing back in whatever way we can at the federal level......keep on stay strong....

I have been supporter of your work from the beginning, but this I can’t swallow. I will not be voting for another candidate who supports Israeli occupation forces by providing them weapons of mass destruction without any accountability. There is no democracy if there is no accountability.
I cannot and will not vote for or endorse Kamala Harris! She has not done or said anything to convince me and my community that she will stop the genocide! I will be voting for Dr. Jill Stein even if she is not going to win!!! I want the democrats to lose or even if they win, I predict it will be a close win because of us, otherwise they will continue to ignore us! No one is free until Palestine is free! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
It is my contention that the president of the United States has to sound like an American and never in a million years will there ever be a president that has a "Funny" or foreign accent.
.
The irony there is Henry Kissinger probably got the highest he was allowed to go (constitutionally) with a funny accent.
.
Someone once tried to beat me to death with a broad piece of spring-steel in the form of an Epee - on the fencing piste. X- military that used to fly F-111's in the gulf under radar going "Plinking" as he used to call it.
.
Later when I knew him he was an inspector for high $ drone crashes.
.
Seems the American military in this case (Air force) at one time were trained to despise anything or anyone with a foreign accent.
.
The guy is six foot five - comes very close to me standing in the middle of a match with this ludicrous sneer on his face shaking in rage and then decides to cut me down onto the floor and repeatedly whips me with the heaviest weapon legally known to modern fencing - lash after lash after lash. I'm just a random piece of meat on the ground being whipped by America's finest.
.
So I just get up - IGNORE him , go back to the center line - come on guard - and continue the match up to that point I was winning two points ahead of him (as if nothing had happened ). I'm thinking the guy's obviously a psycho - something that was programmed into him has gone "Snap". I know all his kids - they come to the fencing club and fence and I have been to his house and home for dinner - met his wife etc. We've known each other for many months if not years and fenced each other on many occasions.
.
But clearly from his time flying under the radar and "Plinking" a term used for accurate targeting of vehicles, tanks , artillery, personnel - radar systems, fuel dumps, electrical points - people - even single or small groups of people while being shot at. [ By todays standards an old flight system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-111_Aardvark ]. What he would describe as an almost too easy video game that really messed with his head... BUT one has to remember the big RED flag of someone wanting you to KNOW in no uncertain terms they are a victim of the violence they have caused.
.
... And in similar fashion I finish the match - really didn't want to let him win but seemed like a good idea at the time as I had no idea what the "Wing-nut" was going to do next. Pretend nothing happened and carry on as normal.
.
As it turned out he destroyed my left leg main muscles / muscle capsule and took months to heal - the thing was absolutely blue for months.
.
But we finished the match he - (we'll change his name to ) - Marcus - sat down across the other side of the fencing hall (from me) and burst into tears " Why would I do that , he is a friend of mine - he's a friend of mine ... why would I do that ... ????". [Sobbing].
.
Sidenote: ~ Although or OTOH: I met Marcus'* old father at a competition once and there it was clear 'Something" was not right. Begs the question either as victims of abuse (Marcus*) or mentally not quite right in the head to begin with - many then come out of the armed services way more unhinged and deranged; although seems a lot of the "Peeps" in the US Navy seem considerably more 'Chill" and on balance have a few more IQ points to rub together, even though the 'Smert" ones are supposed to be in the Airforce. [No judgement.]. Might explain in part why Navy test pilots were recruited from for NASA astronaut positions / vice vera applicants - Jim Lovell being a good example of someone that knows his sh*t but is calm / chill when needed. Calm temperament in the most dire situations like the Apollo 13 disaster / miracle.
.
Although I don't claim to have "Jedi" powers although those that know my work well with horses seem to claim that I do - by "Virtue" of intent ... as a trainer and coach on the ground training professional trainers and coaches. But on a horse one has to be calm as there is no other choice - not being calm increases your chances of being killed at least fourfold even if the horse is trying to catapult you into the next century. That 'Zen" moment going in slow motion while you try to react in a timely and calm manner but NOT exacerbate the situation smooth out riding forward and other such things.
.
But in that instance on the fencing piste - I did transfer something - something invisible onto Marcus. Standing at distance en-guarde I transferred an invisible malevolent intent towards his target area mainly his torso and chest and he picked up on that immediately - strode over to me - sneered in a way like the movies in incandescent rage (almost foaming at the mouth) and proceeded to try and beat me to death with said weapon used as bull whip.
.
It made me think what the HELL are these American service men and women taught in regards to anything foreign and the fault of logic that anything with a foreign accent is the enemy and MUST be killed or murdered immediately without pause - thought or consideration. Act immediately or die.
.
Marcus had at least four children of various ages of maturity / youth and younger also at the club - and the club owner to make ends meet didn't ban 'Marcus" for six months as is the normal punishment for extra and unnecessary violence as she needed the money.
.
I really wanted to take his blade into the armory and cut into six pieces and hand it back to him in a zip-lock baggie - as such violence - should lose one the right to wield such a sword.
.
But for some reason such an action by me would have been deemed as 'Petty" or at least by my also psychopathic wife of the time. Who ONLY has sympathy for psychopaths.
.
The irony here is that the mistrust of anything "Foreign" especially a British or even post Colonial British accent - maybe from a bygone era still invites terror and suspicion and violence - even today from "homebred and cornfed " Americans.
.
How many phone bankers making cold calls will "Sound like" Achmed (The Dead Terrorist) "I'm GOING TO KILL YOU !!!! guy. And why does Biden look and sound exactly like Jeff Dunham's old man "Guy" (Walter) a dead ringer for Marcus' father.
"Spark of insanity " -- Meet Achmed the Dead Terrorist. ^^^
.
In America if you sound and look like a posh (white) Englishman or Achmed the Dead Terrorist its makes no difference - If you want to run president you have to sound a look like Mom's apple pie and nothing else.
.
America is deeply divided and extremely non inclusive and if you are the 'Outsider" you will be given much lesser consideration by your supposed "Neighbors".
.
.
TBH I don't really get the impression that Americans are 'good sports" or fight fare in any situation - just bratty - spoilt and entitled - which is also ironic given that 'We" posh English / British types are trained to serve and dutifully go over the top to be mowed down by German machine guns in 16 seconds flat... So there is something to be said for NOT doing the "Right thing.".
Dick Cheney is a war criminal for getting us into the 2003 Iraq war. And 911 was an inside job. Look at WTC 7 which came straight down which is impossible if fires weaken only one side of the building (fires can't weaken all walls at the same time so that they collapse at the same time, the cooler air flowing to the fire keeps parts of a floor cooler while the other side of the building burns). NATO held multiple war game excersises that day which confused the response to the real attack on the towers. Michael Moore should know this yet he is unconcerned that the Democrat Party has become Dick Cheney's new party and the warmonger party. Look at the Ukraine war which was triggered by NATO starting in 2014 (Victoria Nuland sent billions to Ukraine to start the Maidon revolution and put in power pro-Nato politicians). Read what Col. Douglas MacGregor says about Nato starting that war. Doesn't Moore read this stuff? Is he secretly corrpupt? I'm a former democrat turned independent.
The quadruple irony here is that Boris Johnson (former UK prime minister) WOULD be eligible to run for US president.
.
^^^ THIS is why I do not support the Constitution of the United States as it is riddled with procedural holes that make no sense whatso ever.
.
I want to live in a country where I can become president of the United States and where BORIS JOHNSON cannot / is forbidden from having the possibility of legitimate access to the American throne .. I mean "White" "House".
Except we already have Christo-fascists in the WH and the SCOTUS but just the MORE Catholic one's rather than the more "Presbyterian to Fundamentalist Christian Zealot " spectrum - Guns - God and Country instead of God, King and Country (like British Boy scouts). ~ Not even more Anglican / church of England "types".
.
Still whether you have a Mike Johnson as a president of 'Fortune" or Putin president of Ukraine - it seems pretty clear to me that LGBTQ+ (and +++) gets completely gas chambered and annihilated.
.
Which is also exactly what the fundamentalists Muslims want to do to "Homos" as well as some orthodox Zionists or even Jews.
.
So even if the Catholic church got together with the Fundi- Christians and the Christo fascists and Orthodox Russians via Putin to kill all the LGBTQ+ or at least take away all their rights and throw them in prison - This would still not bring a common understanding and lasting 'peace" in the world especially when Palestinian children can't tell the difference between Republican Bombs and Democratic Bombs.
.
In the future we need to paint some of the bombs RED and some of the bombs BLUE so that our proxied victims can tell which one is more righteous versus bombs imbued with more "Virtue".
.
RED Bombs color coded for "Righteousness ".
.
and BLUE Bombs color coded for "Virtuousness "
.
Obviously we have to SEND the right message. (not sure if F-16(s) are the right "Platform" for such messages.
Another side joke - If I ran as VP for Trump and accidently pushed him off a balcony while staring at the sun during a solar eclipse co -hosted by the Easter Bunny (at the White House) - uncontrolled jerk or involuntary movement - BY alleged NEW (BS) "Rulings" by the SCOTUS that the VP would naturally be the President of the United States (old form) AND would additionally be above the law for slaughtering* the current POTUS ... However I was born in the U.K. (United Kingdom - London ) to American parents (My father served stateside in the Korean War - drafted - in the USAF. ). I have a US passport and incidentally am an American "Citizen". And therefore NOT Allowed to be president of the United States of America. [Unlike Boris Johnson former British Prime Minister born in New York https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson .]. I'm not sure that his parents are all that American either YKWIM other than possible American industrial heiress type money to keep the lead on the roof from an ancestors wayward gambling debts and the like.
.
In such an eventuality the (The Vice President being born abroad in a foreign country ) - then the line of succession would default to the Speaker of the House as being president.
.
In MY ridiculous bubble a gentleman of the name of Mike Johnson is the speaker of the house
BUT for all you Christo-flavored 'Theists " you'd get your wet dream of a mainlined Christo-Fascista (lite) POTUS... <---- Isn't that what you lot want ? Ohhh BUT much MORE post Lutheran Protestant "Type" - Pro-test- tant - where tant(a) does not mean 'Auntie". Like "Auntie" Angela the Christian Democrat German Chancellor for what seems like more than half a lifetime. Not the same.
.
I'll take care of Trump and you guys get JESUS as PRESIDENT.
.
^_^
[Why settle for a mere King when you can have a literal GOD - well at least the son of some god or other ... ].
.
Its a win - win - totally worth it right ?.
.
Where was Vance born anyways... can't we start a birther movement for him ? [Seems only "Fair" ].

Will you please encourage the Harris Walz campaign to also leverage text banking, which is supposed to yield better results than phone banking? A lot of people don't accept calls from unknown numbers these days but do read text messages where they have the flexibility to respond hours or even days later to engage in a conversation. I had done a lot of text banking for the Biden-Harrris campaign in 2020 with encouraging results. I am surprised that the Harris Walz campaign is not yet leveraging it.
I have signed up to write 100 postcards and will get the names and addresses for sending.. another way to “do something”
Looking forward to it. Thank you for sending the link.

I can’t vote for genocide, I just can’t. I will vote for Jill Stein.
Voting for Jill Stein also!!!!!!!!
If you really want to stop the ongoing genocide, read what I posted today.
Dick Cheney is a war criminal for getting us into the 2003 Iraq war. And 911 was an inside job. Look at WTC 7 which came straight down which is impossible if fires weaken only one side of the building (fires can't weaken all walls at the same time so that they collapse at the same time, the cooler air flowing to the fire keeps parts of a floor cooler while the other side of the building burns). NATO held multiple war game excersises that day which confused the response to the real attack on the towers. Michael Moore should know this yet he is unconcerned that the Democrat Party has become Dick Cheney's new party and the warmonger party. Look at the Ukraine war which was triggered by NATO starting in 2014 (Victoria Nuland sent billions to Ukraine to start the Maidon revolution and put in power pro-Nato politicians). Read what Col.

Maybe if enough of us would vote for an anti war and anti genocide candidate we would make a difference.
Dick Cheney is a war criminal for getting us into the 2003 Iraq war. And 911 was an inside job. Look at WTC 7 which came straight down which is impossible if fires weaken only one side of the building (fires can't weaken all walls at the same time so that they collapse at the same time, the cooler air flowing to the fire keeps parts of a floor cooler while the other side of the building burns). NATO held multiple war game excersises that day which confused the response to the real attack on the towers. Michael Moore should know this yet he is unconcerned that the Democrat Party has become Dick Cheney's new party and the warmonger party. Look at the Ukraine war which was triggered by NATO starting in 2014 (Victoria Nuland sent billions to Ukraine to start the Maidon revolution and put in power pro-Nato politicians). Read what Col. Douglas MacGregor says about Nato starting that war. Doesn't Moore read this stuff? Is he secretly corrpupt? I'm a former democrat turned independent.
Right on!!!!!!!!
And, when we're successful, the real work begins!
Yes indeed!
May there be Peace~
We already have a fascist dictator. Please read what I posted today.
Michael I still wonder as a man of conscience how you can look the other way as Harris won’t say she will stop funding genocide.
Me too! Please read what I posted today.
I have been supporter of your work from the beginning, but this I can’t swallow. I will not be voting for another candidate who supports Israeli occupation forces by providing them weapons of mass destruction without any accountability. There is no democracy if there is no accountability.
I agree and feel so sad as Chris Hedges said the Democrats have become the party of war.
If you really want to stop the ongoing genocide, read what I posted today.
I cannot and will not vote for or endorse Kamala Harris! She has not done or said anything to convince me and my community that she will stop the genocide! I will be voting for Dr. Jill Stein even if she is not going to win!!! I want the democrats to lose or even if they win, I predict it will be a close win because of us, otherwise they will continue to ignore us! No one is free until Palestine is free! 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸
Please read what I posted today. It is the only way you can stop the genocide.
Thank you for reaching out with positive ideas for helpful actions.
Thank you!!! I know I am not alone as someone who objects to telephone calls.
It is my contention that the president of the United States has to sound like an American and never in a million years will there ever be a president that has a "Funny" or foreign accent.
.
The irony there is Henry Kissinger probably got the highest he was allowed to go (constitutionally) with a funny accent.
.
Someone once tried to beat me to death with a broad piece of spring-steel in the form of an Epee - on the fencing piste. X- military that used to fly F-111's in the gulf under radar going "Plinking" as he used to call it.
.
Later when I knew him he was an inspector for high $ drone crashes.
.
Seems the American military in this case (Air force) at one time were trained to despise anything or anyone with a foreign accent.
.
The guy is six foot five - comes very close to me standing in the middle of a match with this ludicrous sneer on his face shaking in rage and then decides to cut me down onto the floor and repeatedly whips me with the heaviest weapon legally known to modern fencing - lash after lash after lash. I'm just a random piece of meat on the ground being whipped by America's finest.
.
So I just get up - IGNORE him , go back to the center line - come on guard - and continue the match up to that point I was winning two points ahead of him (as if nothing had happened ). I'm thinking the guy's obviously a psycho - something that was programmed into him has gone "Snap". I know all his kids - they come to the fencing club and fence and I have been to his house and home for dinner - met his wife etc. We've known each other for many months if not years and fenced each other on many occasions.
.
But clearly from his time flying under the radar and "Plinking" a term used for accurate targeting of vehicles, tanks , artillery, personnel - radar systems, fuel dumps, electrical points - people - even single or small groups of people while being shot at. [ By todays standards an old flight system https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Dynamics_F-111_Aardvark ]. What he would describe as an almost too easy video game that really messed with his head... BUT one has to remember the big RED flag of someone wanting you to KNOW in no uncertain terms they are a victim of the violence they have caused.
.
... And in similar fashion I finish the match - really didn't want to let him win but seemed like a good idea at the time as I had no idea what the "Wing-nut" was going to do next. Pretend nothing happened and carry on as normal.
.
As it turned out he destroyed my left leg main muscles / muscle capsule and took months to heal - the thing was absolutely blue for months.
.
But we finished the match he - (we'll change his name to ) - Marcus - sat down across the other side of the fencing hall (from me) and burst into tears " Why would I do that , he is a friend of mine - he's a friend of mine ... why would I do that ... ????". [Sobbing].
.
Sidenote: ~ Although or OTOH: I met Marcus'* old father at a competition once and there it was clear 'Something" was not right. Begs the question either as victims of abuse (Marcus*) or mentally not quite right in the head to begin with - many then come out of the armed services way more unhinged and deranged; although seems a lot of the "Peeps" in the US Navy seem considerably more 'Chill" and on balance have a few more IQ points to rub together, even though the 'Smert" ones are supposed to be in the Airforce. [No judgement.]. Might explain in part why Navy test pilots were recruited from for NASA astronaut positions / vice vera applicants - Jim Lovell being a good example of someone that knows his sh*t but is calm / chill when needed. Calm temperament in the most dire situations like the Apollo 13 disaster / miracle.
.
Although I don't claim to have "Jedi" powers although those that know my work well with horses seem to claim that I do - by "Virtue" of intent ... as a trainer and coach on the ground training professional trainers and coaches. But on a horse one has to be calm as there is no other choice - not being calm increases your chances of being killed at least fourfold even if the horse is trying to catapult you into the next century. That 'Zen" moment going in slow motion while you try to react in a timely and calm manner but NOT exacerbate the situation smooth out riding forward and other such things.
.
But in that instance on the fencing piste - I did transfer something - something invisible onto Marcus. Standing at distance en-guarde I transferred an invisible malevolent intent towards his target area mainly his torso and chest and he picked up on that immediately - strode over to me - sneered in a way like the movies in incandescent rage (almost foaming at the mouth) and proceeded to try and beat me to death with said weapon used as bull whip.
.
It made me think what the HELL are these American service men and women taught in regards to anything foreign and the fault of logic that anything with a foreign accent is the enemy and MUST be killed or murdered immediately without pause - thought or consideration. Act immediately or die.
.
Marcus had at least four children of various ages of maturity / youth and younger also at the club - and the club owner to make ends meet didn't ban 'Marcus" for six months as is the normal punishment for extra and unnecessary violence as she needed the money.
.
I really wanted to take his blade into the armory and cut into six pieces and hand it back to him in a zip-lock baggie - as such violence - should lose one the right to wield such a sword.
.
But for some reason such an action by me would have been deemed as 'Petty" or at least by my also psychopathic wife of the time. Who ONLY has sympathy for psychopaths.
.
The irony here is that the mistrust of anything "Foreign" especially a British or even post Colonial British accent - maybe from a bygone era still invites terror and suspicion and violence - even today from "homebred and cornfed " Americans.
.
How many phone bankers making cold calls will "Sound like" Achmed (The Dead Terrorist) "I'm GOING TO KILL YOU !!!! guy. And why does Biden look and sound exactly like Jeff Dunham's old man "Guy" (Walter) a dead ringer for Marcus' father.
.

.
"Spark of insanity " -- Meet Achmed the Dead Terrorist. ^^^
.
In America if you sound and look like a posh (white) Englishman or Achmed the Dead Terrorist its makes no difference - If you want to run president you have to sound a look like Mom's apple pie and nothing else.
.
America is deeply divided and extremely non inclusive and if you are the 'Outsider" you will be given much lesser consideration by your supposed "Neighbors".
.
.
TBH I don't really get the impression that Americans are 'good sports" or fight fare in any situation - just bratty - spoilt and entitled - which is also ironic given that 'We" posh English / British types are trained to serve and dutifully go over the top to be mowed down by German machine guns in 16 seconds flat... So there is something to be said for NOT doing the "Right thing.".
Dick Cheney is a war criminal for getting us into the 2003 Iraq war. And 911 was an inside job. Look at WTC 7 which came straight down which is impossible if fires weaken only one side of the building (fires can't weaken all walls at the same time so that they collapse at the same time, the cooler air flowing to the fire keeps parts of a floor cooler while the other side of the building burns).

Douglas MacGregor says about Nato starting that war. Doesn't Moore read this stuff? Is he secretly corrpupt? I'm a former democrat turned independent.
The quadruple irony here is that Boris Johnson (former UK prime minister) WOULD be eligible to run for US president.
.
^^^ THIS is why I do not support the Constitution of the United States as it is riddled with procedural holes that make no sense whatso ever.
.
I want to live in a country where I can become president of the United States and where BORIS JOHNSON cannot / is forbidden from having the possibility of legitimate access to the American throne .. I mean "White" "House".
.
Except we already have Christo-fascists in the WH and the SCOTUS but just the MORE Catholic one's rather than the more "Presbyterian to Fundamentalist Christian Zealot " spectrum - Guns - God and Country instead of God, King and Country (like British Boy scouts). ~ Not even more Anglican / church of England "types".
.
Still whether you have a Mike Johnson as a president of 'Fortune" or Putin president of Ukraine - it seems pretty clear to me that LGBTQ+ (and +++) gets completely gas chambered and annihilated.
.
Which is also exactly what the fundamentalists Muslims want to do to "Homos" as well as some orthodox Zionists or even Jews.
.
So even if the Catholic church got together with the Fundi- Christians and the Christo fascists and Orthodox Russians via Putin to kill all the LGBTQ+ or at least take away all their rights and throw them in prison - This would still not bring a common understanding and lasting 'peace" in the world especially when Palestinian children can't tell the difference between Republican Bombs and Democratic Bombs.
.
In the future we need to paint some of the bombs RED and some of the bombs BLUE so that our proxied victims can tell which one is more righteous versus bombs imbued with more "Virtue".
.
RED Bombs color coded for "Righteousness ".
.
and BLUE Bombs color coded for "Virtuousness "
.
Obviously we have to SEND the right message. (not sure if F-16(s) are the right "Platform" for such messages.
During a Democratic Presidency we blame the Blue Bombs and during a Republican presidency we blame the Red Bombs.
.
The US army is already working on 'Greener" Bombs.
Another side joke - If I ran as VP for Trump and accidently pushed him off a balcony while staring at the sun during a solar eclipse co -hosted by the Easter Bunny (at the White House) - uncontrolled jerk or involuntary movement - BY alleged NEW (BS) "Rulings" by the SCOTUS that the VP would naturally be the President of the United States (old form) AND would additionally be above the law for slaughtering* the current POTUS ... However I was born in the U.K. (United Kingdom - London ) to American parents (My father served stateside in the Korean War - drafted - in the USAF. ). I have a US passport and incidentally am an American "Citizen". And therefore NOT Allowed to be president of the United States of America. [Unlike Boris Johnson former British Prime Minister born in New York https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boris_Johnson .]. I'm not sure that his parents are all that American either YKWIM other than possible American industrial heiress type money to keep the lead on the roof from an ancestors wayward gambling debts and the like.
.
In such an eventuality the (The Vice President being born abroad in a foreign country ) - then the line of succession would default to the Speaker of the House as being president.
.
In MY ridiculous bubble a gentleman of the name of Mike Johnson is the speaker of the house
.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mike_Johnson
.
^^^ OBVIOUSLY ridiculous !!!
.
BUT for all you Christo-flavored 'Theists " you'd get your wet dream of a mainlined Christo-Fascista (lite) POTUS... <---- Isn't that what you lot want ? Ohhh BUT much MORE post Lutheran Protestant "Type" - Pro-test- tant - where tant(a) does not mean 'Auntie". Like "Auntie" Angela the Christian Democrat German Chancellor for what seems like more than half a lifetime. Not the same.
.
I'll take care of Trump and you guys get JESUS as PRESIDENT.
.
^_^
[Why settle for a mere King when you can have a literal GOD - well at least the son of some god or other ... ].
.
Its a win - win - totally worth it right ?.
.
Where was Vance born anyways... can't we start a birther movement for him ? [Seems only "Fair" ].
