I’m feeling very tired on a hot muggy day. The move is set for the week of 6/9. I just took a ride in the elevator. They fixed it yesterday afternoon. If I can sign the lease and get the keys next week, I can go see it before moving day. That would make me much more organized then. TGIF!

From YouTube (MSNBC Channel): Smoking Gun Evidence Of President Donald Trump’s Push To Rig The Census
The goal of the Republican Party is to create permanent, racist, fascist, totalitarian, plutocratic Republican Reich in which elections exist for show only, because the Reich controls who gets to vote. RESIST!!
From YouTube (CNN Channel): He broke with GOP under Nixon; hear his advice for them today
Effectively, that divides Republican Reps and Senators into three categories: complicit criminals, quivering cowards, and Amash. RESIST!!
From AlterNet: If the United States weren’t in the midst of its own “constitutional crisis,” a headline like this would be big news: “Israel Moves to Hold New Election as Netanyahu Fails to Form a Coalition.”
Seven weeks after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared “a night of tremendous victory” in Israel’s election, his failure to form a government by midnight Wednesday has turned into a stunning debacle for him and thrust Israel into a new election.
Israelis will return to the ballot box in about three months, the first time in the country’s history that it has been forced to hold a new national election because of a failure to form a government after the previous one.
To maintain his parliamentarian majority, Netanyahu’s conservative Likud Party needed to form a coalition Government with right wing secular ultranationalist and ultra-Orthodox factions. A refusal by those parties to compromise on proposed legislation about military service made that impossible. But here is a critical element of the story.
Facing possible corruption charges, Mr. Netanyahu had less political wiggle room to turn to more liberal parties and failed to assemble the 61-seat majority required to form a government.
The best thing that could happen for Israel and for Palestine is for Butcher Bibi to crash and burn. He has dragged Israel into multiple war crimes. RESIST!!
