Mo & Mo en Route – Summer

Summer’s End

A busy Summer, and as much as has happened, the next few months promise a whole lot more to come.

Well, summer is ending… A lot’s happened though, investigations, indictments, accusations, arguments and talking heads… And speaking of heads… ahead is coming, more probes, hearings, rallies, midterm elections and after that, the 2020 Election starts ramping up. Also known as… Hurricane Season. Ahhh summer…

Mo & Mo en Route – Quiet

Quiet 

“Quiet August” used to be a thing. But boy have things changed, like we’ve never seen before changed.

They used to call it “Quiet August”, not a lot of news, money markets and politics slowed down, folks on vacation, Congress on breaks. Things were quiet, but now… we have trade wars, treaty disputes, ruckus rallies, investigations, corruption trials, congressmen charged, tweets, tweets, and more tweets. Splash! Crash! Oooh… Quiet where art thou? MAQA! Make August Quiet Again!

Mo & Mo en Route – License?

License?  

If the messaging comes from the top, does that give people a license to hate? How is that legitimate?

License to Hate? That’s just ridiculous… like people are waiting around for a license so they can go out and hate. Hate is not something you practice for, or a skill you hone, or something you wait till you’re good at and then you apply for that license to hate. You can’t get a license that makes hate OK. That’s not a thing, not OK. I say we end it. The license or the hate… Both! Go with love, who needs a license for that.

Mo & Mo en Route – Conspiracy

Conspiracy  

Conspiracy Theories have really run amok. What is the attraction? Do we really prefer the lies?

Conspiracy Theories… Yea, Alex Jones and his “Infowars” got the boot from YouTube, Apple and Facebook. “Infowars”? Rather a war on the info, and facts, and reality, and truth. Then there’s the QAnon conspiracy theory… But a theory is based on basic principles, that is anything but principled. Conspiracy Theories have always been around though… But man, the internet was just made for this stuff. …And it’s a place where those pesky facts don’t seem to slow folks down.

Mo & Mo en Route – Balance

Balance

A hallmark of our governmental system is a system of checks and balances… So, does anyone know where we put them?

The balance has shifted over the years, the white house now legislates. And Congress… meh. The White House creates and executes tariffs, immigration laws, environmental laws, treaties. And Congress… meh. With all the power grabbing out there, why is Congress giving it away? You can’t have the checks without the balances? Bring Back Balance!. …Again with the hats.

Mo & Mo en Route – Values

Market Values

The high road does win in the long run, if only the markets could see it.

Social Media has a crazy effect on news these days. Plus, Social Media Companies as the news. They are trying to clean up their act though… Better vetting, making it safer, etc... But, boy did the markets hammer them for that. So, let’s get this straight, efforts to make the service better and safer, results in huge stock market losses? Yeah, Markets don’t seem to Value Values. I’d value a little help here… tide, in, help, really.

Mo & Mo en Route – Friends

With Friends Like…

Is it inversion thru subversion, or subversion thru inversion, and why is it coming from the top?

At the Helsinki Summit this week… “With enemies like you, who needs friends?!” “Brilliant Donald.” “Thanks, Vlad, I came up with that myself.” “You are so smart!” “That’s what I’ve been saying all along”. “Vlad, how about a sleep over at my place this fall.” “You read my mind” There are times when this all doesn’t seem to be of this world.

Mo & Mo en Route – Witch-Hunt

Witch Hunt

Witch hunt? Repeat it again and again doesn’t make it so, this is not some cheap hypnotist shtick.

What are you doing? I keep hearing it is all a “Witch-Hunt”… I want to get to the bottom of this and see for myself, so I’m searching for witches. How’s it going? It not being Halloween, not so good. I think this is more accurately about “Which-Hunt”. Just try to figure “which” hunt they’re talking about. Election interference, Russian meddling, Obstruction of justice, Collusion, Perjury, Emoluments, Ethics violations… My head is spinning. Tell me.

Mo & Mo en Route – Loons

Loons

Getting people not to vote? It’s now a science, not quite right. But there is something we can do.

In 2016, Trump's Social Media Manager used Facebook Dark Posts to demobilize voters… There are some who fear there’ll be too much of a turn out on the right for the midterm… …and some who fear too much on the left. An awful lot of emphasis on getting people not to vote... Pushing a don’t vote campaign? This isn't a post-truth era, it’s just a plain Loony Era. To end the Lunacy, everyone could just… vote!

Mo & Mo en Route – Incivility Wars

Incivility Wars

So civility seems to be M.I.A. as of late… OK, it’s been missing for a while now, time to reclaim it.

I love the lights, the flash, the noise… Well, there certainly has been a lot of noise lately, nasty noise, and acrimony… Like fireworks, there has been quite the reaction. A recent poll said about a third of Americans think we are headed for a “Civil War”.. Well… we are in a “War on Civility”. Some at the top seem to enjoy it. We need a war for civility… with civility. If folks get out and vote for civility, then there’ll be some real fireworks.
