Howard Stern. Who would ever expect a Vice President to appear on such a risky program?

Kamala Harris was completely unafraid of the reputation of Howard Stern and agreed to speak with him. I found Howard Stern to be sincere with a more than interesting interview. Howard, you are a great American.

There are definitions to the tactics of the Republican Right Political Wing.

 There is nothing strange about Trump's political strategy. It is all in the artful practice of a conman.

The term "Red Herring" comes from the practice of drawing a red herring across a trail to confuse hunting dogs.

Then there is just the purely illegal and unethical behavior of bad actors including the schemes of Donald John Trump.

Lying, cheating, and deceiving should matter to disqualify people seeking office in politics.

Deceptive practices are not okay. Ethics protects of people from the abuse of powerful people.

Partners (click here) at the Wall Street firm backing Donald Trump’s social media platform Truth Social used company funds to pay for prostitutes, abused drugs, partied with strippers and lost millions of dollars gambling, according to a new report in the Wall Street Journal.

EF Hutton is also being investigated for securities fraud, and investors have accused its brokers of pushing speculative investments, according to competing lawsuits filed by two of the firm’s partners....

Perspective

Just to put this Elon Musk “thing” into perspective, the Assault Weapon Ban sundowned in 2004. At least that is the way I remember it. So that was 20 years ago. 

The first ten amendments to the USA Constitution were ratified in 1791. None have been removed OR the wording changed in all this time. 

While there is always legislature passed to carry out better governance every two years with a new Congress the Constitution and its Amendments have never been revised or removed. The USA Constitution has stood the test of time and remained the guiding light for this democracy.

In regard to Musk’s factitious petition, it is a political gimmick that holds no water anywhere. He started these $1,000,000 rallies when Trump’s own rallies began to fail. This is attempt by Musk to stand up Trump for whatever reasons he thinks it is important.

It seems to me these $1,000,000 rallies are illegal under election law of this democracy.

Solicitation

I have been thinking about Musk’s factitious petition and it is wrong. It is basically enticement into corruption. 

He is seducing people with money to believe there is something wrong with the First and Second Amendment that requires a petition to protect it, when in fact, there is not a thing wrong. It is manipulation of the electorate to create fear. 

The fear component is definitely political. He is using money for politics.

The fear is to build suspicion of “the other.”

There is a desired political outcome he is looking for. It goes beyond endorsement to create an atmosphere conducive to his desired outcome. It is premeditated.

If Congress had passed a repeal of the 1st and/or 2nd Amendments which would mean a super majority in both houses past it, with the signature of the president and those repeals were now circulating the country Musk would have reasons for his rallies but not with seductive money enticements.
