What we’re going through socially, politically and economically is so huge that only artists and poets can adequately convey it. The news media can report the news but for the most part now seems incapable of deciphering its meaning.

Artists and poets tend to be economically illiterate

But they can convey the pain and outrage created by the economic injustice of this moment, in a way that the economist cannot.

NEW OLBERMANN VS. TRUMP: We are asked how we will accommodate Trump Cultists. Today they entered the "Steal Stuff From The DOJ" stage of their attempted coup. Yesterday it was the Flynn "Martial Law" stage. The answer to the question "how do we accommodate them?" is... F THEM!

Today we entered the "Steal Stuff From The DOJ" stage of the Trump Coup, atop the "Martial Law! Suspend The Constitution!" stage. Yet we're asked how WE will accommodate Trumpists? This is how: F THEM

Number one mistake Biden & media are making is thinking things are going to go back to normal. There is no normal anymore. Trump supporters are permanently radicalized and progressives won't get pushed around like before. Next four years will be non-stop fighting from all sides.

It would be nice if, for once, your news media DID report the news - instead of playing to the gaslit echo chambers the Democrats love

It's like all the major events of the World ... it's to difficult to comprehend while it's happening ... However ... we need to focus on what we can understand ... Where all this pain has come from ... and how we might fix it!

Whenever we're in the midst of huge events ... I think the human mind is incapable of comprehending everything that is really taking place ... Hopefully ... History will tell us it was the beginning of a 100 years of Renaissance!
