Over 80% of All US Voters Support Ending Dark Money’s Grip on Democracy | Common Dreams

American voters overwhelmingly support anti-corruption measures, including a constitutional amendment to limit money in politics.

“The public’s conception of what has gone wrong goes far deeper than super PACs or White House ballrooms or even slush funds. To them, it is a system that is fundamentally misfiring.”

The poll, which surveyed 2,000 registered voters across the country, found 79% support “a constitutional amendment to restore limits on money in elections.” The proposal would essentially overturn the 2010 Citizens United Supreme Court ruling, which opened the door to unlimited corporate spending in US elections.

We are in a bad place because men who rape children are allowed to enact political vengeance if they are publicly and purposefully racist and misogynist. They can make a career of it.

“Everybody knows that the boat is leaking Everybody knows that the captain lied Everybody got this broken feeling Like their father or their dog just died Everybody knows the fight was fixed The poor stay poor, the rich get rich That's how it goes Everybody knows"

--Leonard Cohen (Sept. 21, 1934-Nov. 7, 2016)

Everybody Knows :: Leonard Cohen

On June 6, 1963, in a modest London boxing gym, six-year-old Patrick Power was lacing up his gloves for another round of training. Bullied at school, he had taken up boxing for confidence and self-defense. What began as a typical session would soon transform into an extraordinary moment in history. That afternoon, the gym fell into an excited hush as Cassius Clay—soon to be known to the world as Muhammad Ali—arrived to train ahead of his match against British boxer Henry Cooper. No one expected the young lad and the rising American boxing star would soon share the ring.

Ali, already famous for his quick wit and larger-than-life presence, spotted young Patrick among the group of trainees. With characteristic warmth, he invited the boy into the ring for a lighthearted sparring session. Encouraging Patrick to throw punches while he playfully dodged and danced around, Ali made sure the boy landed a few jabs, even raising the child’s hand in mock victory. The gym, usually a place of grit and sweat, erupted in laughter and applause. It was a brief but magical moment that showcased Ali’s compassion and love for people as much as his talent for boxing.

A single photo from that day captured the essence of the encounter: the towering future champion crouched down, smiling, while Patrick launched a punch with all the heart of a young fighter. That spontaneous act of generosity and joy revealed Ali’s human side—far from the flashbulbs and headlines. For Patrick Power, it was more than a playful exchange—it was a life-affirming experience, and for those who witnessed it, a lasting reminder of Ali’s rare ability to uplift others, even in the most unexpected ways.

He is such a disgusting piece of human waste. He’s turned the White House into a landfill. A white trash landfill.

He respects no and lives in fear that everyone will eventually know the true failure he is. His malignant narcissism is destroying our Republic and those who should be calling out his inept ability to do the job he finds himself in are cowed by a man wearing bad makeup and adult diapers!

We can hope they find their spines but almost all are cowards and are more concerned with enriching themselves through stocktrading.
