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.

Mo & Mo en Route – Blame

That Blame Game

Make a mess, blame everyone else? Face it, if you brake it, you own it, and by the way kids aren’t pawns.

“If you don’t build me my nuke, I will kill your family… and you will have made me do it!” I hate that, it’s just crazy! The Villain has to own it, it’s his evil! You can’t always blame the victims! “If they die, it’s your fault!” It’s that idiotic Villain logic… Who would follow such stupid reasoning? “I mean it!” I don’t know, who would? “Are you feeling queasy, or maybe things aren’t going quite right...?”

Mo & Mo en Route – Redux

Redux

It has not been “Great” lately. Maybe try some “Good” instead, no self-justification or equivocation needed.

So how’s that “Great Again” going? Well, we’ve got this authoritarian envy, the disparaging of friends and allies… Attacking the 1st amendment, separating families at border… OK, not so good. I’m thinking we need to redo this “Great Again” thing. It’s too subjective and not working out… So you have a MAGA hat? I call it MAGA Redux. Make America Good Again! “Great” is too squishy. “Good” is just simple, if it’s good do it, if not don’t.

Mo & Mo en Route – Base

That Base

It’s seems to be the thing to just go to that base, forget the middle, forget everyone else. Thus, no ability to achieve balance anymore, it’s all kind of lopsided.

I love playing to the bass. Aaaahhh… not that kind of base. They are talking about playing to the Political Base. The Political extremes. To the base it’s more emotional, easier, simplistic rhetoric and policies. None of that careful, nuanced, crafting of compromise… So, it is “All about that base…” That Meghan Trainor is a prophetic genius! I’m All About that Bass, about that base, no treble… I’m All About the Base, no middle… I’m All About the Base, mo’ money…
