Mo & Mo en Route – Eclipse

Eclipse

Four minutes of Darkness and then the light again.

Mo & Mo en Route – The AI Climate

The AI Climate

AI is here now, so what comes next?

Folks are doing a lot with AI these days…
Some good, some not so…
Now they’re applying AI to solve Climate Change.
Why not, we’ve failed to use our own intelligence.
*All backgroud images are AI generated…

Mo & Mo en Route – Brackets

Brackets

How is it that we have a party that sets a whole new standard for being a candidate.

Mo & Mo en Route – Double Down

Double Down

The GOP following their fearful leader… believe it doesn’t matter if it is true, “If you say it enough and keep saying it, they’ll start to believe you.”

Mo & Mo en Route – Democracy cont.

Democracy cont.

Closed primaries, winner takes all delegate distribution? It’s like the Parties don’t want popular candidates.

Super Tuesday primaries chose delegates… but so many were winner takes all… Not exactly democracy.
Some say 2024 is an election for Democracy. Historically it’s been a long road to democracy… Still a work in progress.
First only white landowners could vote, 90 years later black men could vote, then another 50 years women… There’s a lot of laws to suppress the vote, and with the electoral college we’re back to winner takes all,.
So it’s actually a “Let’s keep trying Democracy Election” vs. a “Do anything to win except democracy Election”. Do I get a Vote?

Mo & Mo en Route – Speaker

Speaker

With crisis in the world, the budget and the border… the speaker sleeps.

Mo & Mo en Route – Presidents

Presidents

Celebrate Presidents Day, Washington’s Birthday… The GOP celebrates, but with what “Great Again” are they thinking?

Mo & Mo en Route – Minority

Minority

Minority Rule?… “That’s not how this works, that’s not how any of this works.”

Mo & Mo en Route – The Show

The Show

This show in Congress, in the House, has been playing since 2022, but their performance is garnering only a 15% approval.

118th Congress is the most unproductive in decades…
They are upset about Taylor Swift though…
Entertainers shouldn’t get into politics, they should just perform…
Maybe, but shouldn’t legislators stop performing and just legislate? Yeah, they’re not very entertaining.

Mo & Mo en Route – Democracy

Democracy

The National Popular Vote, access, common sense, do unto others, it could be a start.

So, let me get this… Iowa has 1% of the national vote, New Hampshire has .5% of it, and South Carolina has 1.5%, and after that this could be all over?
3% of the voters will decide who runs for the Presidency. Then for the national election democracy kicks in?
Not exactly, there’s the electoral college, misc. voter restrictions and voter suppression… it might all shake out. This is the election to save Democracy?
Shouldn’t we try to get Democracy first? Oh man, my head hurts. We only have over nine months of this to go.
