Once again Tropical Soulvangelical notices that the Central Donkeys are at it again, using what TSV calls fatalism, perhaps alarmism, to try to distract from a) their attacks on Biden and b) the fact that they don't feel like they have anything to offer the populace. Gavin Newsom was on Colbert claiming something to the effect of "we may not have an election in 2028." Among other things, TSV takes this as moving the goal posts from last year. What happened then was that both Hillary Clinton and Michael Cohen both said "if -trump- wins this election, there will be no more elections." But TSV notes that among others, there's one that's going to happen in his home state and there's the one in New York City. Why, then, he wonders, doesn't the central party get alarmist about those? This he thinks they should do if -truly- there will be "no more elections." Or do they mean, no more -Presidential- elections? What is -their- definition of "election" anyway? We had primaries in both contests TSV mentions, so those don't count as "elections?" If they meant -Presidential- elections, he wonders why they didn't just say so? And here's another thing. He heard on audio this morning that Bruce Springsteen wonders whether we should have a third party because he says he doesn't believe that the central party is effective in things, and this is nearly 24 hours after Gavin Newsom's claims. At present, TSV didn't hear The Boss predict the end of elections, just his dissatisfaction with both -trump- and the central party. TSV wants to read if that's because Bruce, too, has misgivings or bitterness over how the central party attacked Biden and to date never apologized for it or sought amends. This whole bit about 2028, TSV observes, is an attempt to try to prolong a distraction from the attacks on Biden for -three whole years- as if we're going to be frozen in time at 2025 for all those years. Granted, TSV's not saying nothing bad is going to happen or -trump- won't try anything, but he thinks some perspective is in order if we -really- are going to defeat -trump- and send him to jail and hold him accountable. He thinks he talked about this one before, but generally speaking, you should -always- be concerned about democracy -in general-. He thinks that's what eternal vigilance is truly about, but that the alarmists have deliberately misinterpreted what Ben Franklin was trying to say, and in their own interests (yes Franklin mentioned that one too). Alarmism he sees as a thought terminator (and one which he has often sought to turn the tables on in order to make a point). If someone tries to tell you it's the end of the world, you then cannot argue or discuss the matter without being told you're just being in denial, but instead follow your own frightened instincts and then become malleable to the doomsayers. That's why instead of denying doomsaying predictions, TSV finds other ways of expressing skepticism about them. Where dictatorship is concerned, he wonders whether Camelot with JFK counts as a form of dictatorship in which we were made to regard the Presidency as royalty. If we truly believe in democracy, that kind of worship he contends is inappropriate, but he never hears any such reservations from the central party, only a euphoric recall type nostalgia. He resultingly also wonders whether the assasination of JFK was effectively a political bubble popping reminding us that Camelot was likely not such a good thing the central party thought it was. Both in Obama and Zohran Mamdani the central party insists on seeing a ghost of JFK, and obsessing over the supposed importance of "charisma." TSV points out that charisma is what generally causes dictatorship, because you really have to be an insecure person to be that focused on the "charisma" of the other person instead on your own self-reliance. It's pretty much cult-like thinking. Oh, and another thing. If there's truly an existential threat to democracy that Gavin Newsom supposedly describes, TSV points out that's why you have rebel groups in other countries, so instead of it being like 1984 or Hitler, it's more likely going to be like a rebellion civil war. There was never a civil war against Hitler that TSV was aware of, just World War II. That's why he thinks that tragedy in Utah happened a couple weeks ago. If push truly comes to shove, and as distasteful as it sounds, there are those who are looking to defend our values, by all means (see below)...

Tropical Soulvangelical spent most of yesterday evening declaring he's with Kimmel via his do-things activist channel (this shares base is the content he wants on an eventual audio solution replacing what we did previously, and is his/our say-things channel). Nearly half of his activity was about telling off the Bidenhater Donkeys who have apparently suddenly discovered that true free speech and the solidarity within are a thing. In fact there was a Donkeys channel (he believes this is the official one) in his stream that he responded to and said, "This [the attacks on Kimmel] is partially on -you-." He observed that Chris D. Jackson who's more or less the only Donkey figure supporting Biden (not merely "defending" but -supporting-) more or less saying the same thing, but TSV went right to the sources. One of those was Adam Schiff whom TSV dropped from his contacts list because of 7/24, and TSV told him onstream that it's not too late for those who attacked Biden (hint hint Mr. Senator because you're one of them) and themselves overturned democracy without -any- help from -trump- whatsoever, to apologize for the attacks. TSV's request for the Bidenhaters is to stop hating on Biden even now in 9/25, 14 months after 7/24. This he believes they can do without fear of compromise to political convenience (in fact it would be even -more- convenient, not less), because they have a chance to win back those whom they lost who stand by the concept of principle. Maybe the Bidenhaters just don't get the concept of principle when they place that below political convenience in terms of life's priorities. TSV saw a lot of suburbansplainers who unsurprisingly used a lot of Neimoller references to try to use the situation with Kimmel to guilt trip people like they've been doing, well, since 7/24 proper. If there's anyone still stuck in the past, it's them and not those of us as Biden Supporters, #Pro46, whom they try to tell to "stop wallowing in the past," which is also part of the 'splaining that TSV's expecting going forward. TSV got back at the 'splainers to tell them they just don't get it. But what generally happens is that the suburbansplainers do what they do to maintain the power balance of classicism. If the Donkeys were really about inclusion, they'd try to listen to those of us who try to live by principle by keeping on the righteous path towards the state of principle. But here's something that TSV doesn't think is getting reported. While he doesn't deny that Kimmel is getting suspended because of -trump-, the Bidenhaters are gleefully hoping that Kimmel is so badly compromised that they will get him to crawl to them to push the logical fallacy of presentism. For them, whatever it was that Kimmel said that got him suspended was not the sticking point. It's Kimmel on more than one occasion using the phrase, "When we look back on this years from now..." or "Historians will look back on this years from now and say..." To the Bidenhaters, this type of wise historical perspective is an anathema to that great headscrew they're trying to force on the populace to further their own political ambitions, over Biden's political grave, and using the awfulness of -trump- as a great opportunity. This TSV can see right through, and he's been deleting the activist texts accordingly in favor of Tropical Soul's own brand of defense on our own for Kimmel accordingly. They succeeded in making Colbert their house slave where Bidenhating is concerned which Colbert admitted to Kamala Harris roughly two weeks before he announced he's getting cancelled. Subsequently, it's the cancellation TSV sees as Colbert's karmic lot for playing house slave. The Bidenhaters, TSV sees, are seeing that Kimmel isn't as willing to play house slave, but now that Kimmel's suspended, they'll come right up to him and try to tell him You Have No Choice. In addition to suburbansplaining, this TSV sees as the act of rescuering. They act like they're Kimmel's "rescuers," which is also another way of TSV saying that Kimmel at least he knows where he stands with -trump-, but in time TSV sees that even Kimmel will see that the Bidenhaters truly are -trump lite- both as 'splainers and rescuers at least. TSV and I the Happy Bachelor within Tropical Soul want to let Kimmel know we have his back, and we're not going to try to "seek a favor though" on him unlike the Bidenhaters. But in time TSV's thinking that once Kimmel finds a way of getting back on the air, he'll see what we in Tropical Soul have been seeing since 7/24, take it out on the Bidenhaters accordingly, and think twice about having George Clooney on his show despite Clooney living about two blocks away or so from Kimmel's studio in the Hollywood area. This is because in time, Kimmel himself will see that such a thing will be increasingly...

Tropical Soulvangelical wants to make it known that he regards the shooting death of Charlie Kirk as terrible and tragic, and that that man should still be alive rather than dead. Do you know what TSV -isn't- saying though? That he somehow "condemns" what happened. In fact, he condemns the condemnation as a feckless appeasement of -trump- that will only -encourage trump-, and as an affront to the very concept of right-and-wrong as we're all obligated as human beings to make our way towards principle. He wonders whether the pseudoactivists had ever thought about how condemnation is contrary to what democracy is about in reality. He's pretty sure on the one hand they're Neimolloring the surrounding population and trying a guilt trip on them about not standing up, but that on the other hand they, too, join in the "condemnation," using a hash tag to the effect of Lower The Temperature. TSV asks them this as a history lesson. At what point during the Revolutionary War did George Washington with starving troops ever call over battles lines to the Hessians and said, "Hey Hessians! Let's 'lower the temperature'"? 36 hours before Mr. Kirk's untimely death, TSV was listening to Necessary (see below) on YouTube by KRS-One that he paraphrased in a previous base share. It wouldn't be lost on TSV that listens of Necessary and similar political rap from the late Eighties had picked up in listenership at roughly the same time by those of us the guilt tripping and hypocritical pseudoactivists from the donor class have effectively marginalized and hence prove themselves -trump lite-. It's also not a coincidence that TSV figures that the pseudoactivists also either said nothing or even supported calls for Biden to be deposed as President 15 months ago, and yet they still try to guilt trip everyone else about not caring enough about democracy? The same way TSV hears (paraphrased) in Necessary (see below) "my violence is not your violence," he's thinking that -his- democracy (and that of other Biden Supporters) is not the same as the "democracy" of the rich donor class pseudoactivists. The democracy that TSV embraces is more democratic than that of the pseudoactivists, which renders as a pseudocracy post-Hands Off. So here's a warning to all those who "condemn" even that violence that may be done in self-defense that both Malcolm and KRS-One talked about in favor of "lowering the temperature" that TSV makes to them. You should ask if you're really all that serious about the -reality- of democracy and what it takes to make it truly happen, by all means (see below ascii art)...

Jerry Nadler's decision not to run for reelection has exemplified for Tropical Soulvangelical the Donkeys As The Party Of Ageism. So anyone who tries to tell him he's wallowing in the past for continuing to protest what happened to Biden 14 months ago, TSV will point to the Nadler situation as a counterpoint. Those of you who might not know, Nadler has said he's not running for reelection in order to conform to the Donkeys' apparent "demand" that he "step aside for the next generation," despite the fact that he's only 78. TSV's congresswoman is about the same age as Biden was last year when he was deposed as President, and he wants her to hang on until -she- feels ready to go, and not because some corrupt bureaucrats in the party try to bully her in looking at marketing trends as per the 18-35 demographic category, totally ignoring all those over 35 but not yet 65. TSV believes that the party truly doesn't believe there are -any- people that exist in the country that are between 35 and 65 except for "parents." When you're a parent, apparently, your age category can be waived, and no-one ever talks about how you're not 35 anymore. TSV remembers it used to be 18-25, but now we're tacking on age numbers as we go. What's going to happen when in a given race an 80 year old decides to run in a primary on the promise of fighting ageism and who's never run for public office? TSV predicts that the corrupt bureaucrats will try to dissuade said candidate for being "too old", hence confirming what that candidate is trying to tell people and run on. TSV has always seen Nadler as a bit of a wuss, and wonders how he was ever a chairman of a justice committee when you think of a peace-through-strength type cop, Nadler is the last person to come to mind. So maybe it's not a surprise that he readily gave into undue pressures of some sort, because TSV has never seen him as somebody who ever stood for anything. TSV isn't exactly a spring chicken himself, and -none- of us are getting any younger. At what age are we going to tell people that they can't run for public office, and will that age get younger and younger, and if we can prevent people from entering public service solely because of a number, what other things are we going to prevent them from doing in life? Hold down a job and try to pay the bills? Vote??? As TSV leans over my shoulder as the Happy Bachelor watching me write this base share, he just told me right now that he wants to find an anti-ageist action non-profit to make donations to as part of his True Activism. Such a thing stands in opposition to the pseudoactivism he blasted the other day as the kind of wuss Nadler himself is, and is promulgated against by the concept of (see below, and no, Nadler is not going to be looking out of a window with a gun in his hand any time soon as per the ascii art)...

Whether it's peace by war, or peace by peace, somehow we've got to get there, By All Means Necessary (KRS1BDP). And with that, Tropical Soulvangelical and I totally dispense with what passes for "protest" in the post-HandsOff era. We had thought that maybe there was a pursuit of principle with respect to Indivisible and 50501 earlier this year, but TSV's observations of protests in Washington DC and leading up from Hands Off to now demonstrates that that's pretty much over. Now when he sees video shots of protests, he's seeing intellectualists and Ivy League Idealists (i.e., -trump- Lite types) and -not- the ordinary people who are truly affected. His misgivings have been confirmed by the pseudoprotestors proclaiming that it's -everyone else- who's "tolerating" -trump- (what else do you expect a -rescuer- to say otherwise?). While TSV thinks it's all fine and well to be throwing sandwiches at an adversary, he says to be prepared to pack something with considerably more punch, because otherwise -trump- is just being emboldened by the current pseudoprotests. It's unlikely that we can run out the clock, TSV believes, with respect to the Supreme Court, because he sees the high Court as eventually giving -trump- a rubber stamp on -absolutely everything- he wants to do because both they and the intellectualist/pseudoprotestors are just too timid to resort to other means if that becomes Necessary. There's no way, TSV points out, that you can just read that passage from the Autobiography Of Malcolm X where he takes the position of By Any Means Necessary and not think that's being called for now. -trump- is endangering the lives and the institutions of both the National Guard and the Supreme Court, along with members of his administration and supporters both in the government and without, not to mention the pseudoprotestors very likely, and maybe even -trump- himself. TSV doesn't see -any- of those people surviving no matter how much protection they gain for themselves unless we somehow (proverbially) dodge a bullet. Both the National Guard and the Secret Service present way too many vulnerabilities for them to survive the concept of Necessary. Necessary will, if Necessary, cut through -all forces- like hot butter. Not even nukes will work. TSV asks, where exactly would we be right now if George Washington spent most of the Revolutionary War paraphrasing Neimoller while the Hessians run roughshod on America? We'd likely still be a British colony along with half of the rest of the world. Neimoller vs. Necessary. Maybe -that's- what Kamala Harris was trying to say on Colbert? If so, TSV sees it being totally lost on Colbert as much of his audience is made up of those middle/upper class -rescuer- types. So for the time being we're swapping out our usual valance banner at the bottom of our base shares for the concept of Necessary. And here's TSV making clear to all of you, including -you- who just came across this on the Internet and wondering what this "blog" of Tropical Soul And Principle is about. Once it comes right down to it, what would -you- do? Obvious answer, but we're placing it as ASCII art under this base share for our current banner.

A few tidbits. Tropical Soulvangelical took to Twitter to not only let the DC Attorney General know that he's got his back, but TSV also proposed to DC's delegate at large that the home rule be revised to allow DC to take over the White House in case of emergency rather than it always being the other way around. From a practical point of view, TSV believes DC will point to the abuse of home rule in effect right now as a case for DC statehood, but he doesn't think that by itself is an adequate fight-back response to the troop deployment particularly considering -trump- wants to occupy Chicago and New York City. TSV's observed that the self-pity stance of the rich donor class among others simply encourages -trump- to go after them and their values, and TSV says hear-hear to the defiant stance on part of Chicago's city leadership. He's noticed that -trump- dropped the subject of occupying Chicago when they did that, thereby confirming the TACO notion of -trump- always chickens out. TSV, on the other hand, is striving to -never- chicken out so maybe the acronym in his case would be something to the effect of TSVNCO, which doesn't spell a word unfortunately. But unlike the pseudoactivist groups like the the Ivy League Idealists and the intellectualists and the rich donors, to name a few, TSV's stance is not to quote Neimoller or just go "ooh this is dangerous" but instead propose tit-for-tat like wrt to the troops in DC. He's used to being told that his proposals are somehow impractical, unconstructive, not planned out very well, whatever, and he's stopped listening to every word of that because what if Zelensky was told that and he decided to give in to Russia as a result? Because that's what will happen, hence TSV estimates that I and he as a group of two have made more political defiance against -trump- than all the pseudoactivists put together. That's because unlike them we're not trying to write a book. When then-Czechoslovakia got occupied in 1968, did we see a lot of self-pitying book writers quote Andrew Weissman in declaring "the end is nigh?" Or did the people do what they could to resist, even if at that time it would have been almost impossible odds? Among other things, TSV sees the pseudoactivists also motivated by a fear of failure. Things are going to not work from time to time, and TSV wants to dress down the pseudoactivists accordingly, reminding them that that's just life. He's failed far more often than he's succeeded, but he refuses to adopt an inferiority complex like the pseudoactivists have. In that spirit, he also proposes a hopeful graphic for the future that reverses the conversion of the White House flower garden into deck chair deck. In this graphic, and those of you who are interested may want to either do an image search or an AI, the before and after graphics show the deck chairs and the rose garden respectively, demonstrating the upcoming return of the rose garden. But also in the after graphic, we see a burning bonfire of the deck chairs at a safe distance from the future returning rose garden, but TSV doesn't think that's going to happen if Nice Guy Butti gets installed in 2028. But TSV does see the eventual return of Antifa, and he sees it as Antifa 2.0 that will not just take the fight to -trump- but also the Trump Lite pseudoactivists and perhaps the central party's Bidenhaters. It's going to happen.

A few things here, as best as I the Happy Bachelor and Tropical Soulvangelical can remember. There's always stuff to unpack. We revised the "girlfriend" pics so as to have them follow the same path towards principle we've been beseeching of the populace accordingly, so we hope by now no-one's going to say anything to the effect of how we're not walking the walk. We -are-, so how about -others- doing so? Where the Texas Donkeys are concerned, TSV heard a claim on 1010 WINS that they're apparently going -back- to Texas, but he can't find proof of that on the Wikipedia article regarding the redistricting. But when they left Texas to break quorum, the three states TSV read they went to were New York, California and Illinois, but why not also TSV's own state? It makes it harder for TSV to help them out if they decide to ghost TSV's home state. He's getting tired of his home state being totally invisible, because last time he checked, it -was- one of the 50 states of the union. Another thing he doesn't understand is why the governors of those three states hadn't proposed adding blue districts in their own states -regardless- of whether Texas adds red districts? Maybe even by executive order? Just Texas threatening to do so is more than enough reason to pull the trigger on your own in this instance. This kind of rhetoric from the urbanes like the Ivy League Idealists and the intellectualists and the rich Donkey nailbiters just really tires the heck out of TSV. He proposes that democracy will remain unsafe when Texas decides -not- to redistrict -if- the blue states also decide -not- to redistrict in response. This while the hypocritical urbanes excoriate the populace over -their- supposed cowardice. TSV also further proposes that the true pursuers of principle mount a restraining order on the urbanes if things escalate. This also gets to TSV's followup on Kamala Harris plugging her book on Colbert claiming that it's "naive" to "wait it out." As a citizen himself, TSV respectfully points out to the Vice President that resistance against the conformist establishment wrt -trump- is ultimately about -constructfully- waiting to a more hopeful time in the future when not only -trump- is out of office, but he's made to answer for what he's done, including business fraud and money laundering that TSV's finding no-one's talking about, and also damaging our children's morality. There's no doubt that -trump- is heading for a burning grave (if not a jail on Earth) even if a neo-Antifa ends up burning that grave themselves. TSV thinks Antifa needs to come back to slap the urbanes out of their self-righteous and self-pitying reverie. But TSV tells us it's a -hundred times more naive- to assume that -trump's- burning grave will never happen. It's going to happen, and TSV will be there to tell you he told you so.

Tropical Soulvangelical waited nearly two weeks before watching the Kamala interview on Colbert, but he finally tuned in with great interest, and he's got some takeaways. Being pro-Biden, TSV was especially interested in Kamala's thoughts on the central party's War On Biden. Kamala's response was that she "wasn't going to pile on." TSV knew she really wanted to say "I wasn't going to pile on -Biden-," but that was pretty much narrow straits in the interview, so she figured that she needed to choose her words carefully. TSV understands, but he found revelations in Colbert as well, in that he wasn't unsympathetic to the central party Bidenhaters, and while TSV still loves Colbert and wishes he take TSV's advice not to make his career choice as being CBS-or-nothing as per the Youth Power Ivy League Idealists' putting pressure on him accordingly, he still believes that Colbert is seriously mistaken in taking this stance regarding Biden and now not applying regret to his decision. Colbert must know by now that the central party bled nearly half its donation base in choosing to attack not only Biden, but also Biden's supporters as well as basic values that Biden and his supporters have sworn to live by, namely the concept of principle. By supporting the central party's decision to not recant their attacks on Biden, Colbert has helped assure that those lost supporters will never come back until the central party admits wrongdoing, even if that's 20 years from now. So what about the rest of the interview? TSV believes that Kamala -will- try to make a comeback in '28, possibly as a primary challenge to "Butti" whom for some reason TSV observes that Chris D. Jackson has confided in but whom TSV truly doesn't trust until Butti -also- makes clear where he stands on the War On Biden. He doesn't think she was necessarily untruthful when she said that she didn't want to run for office because she felt the system was broken, but if you've read us this far you'd see that TSV sees the breakages as -specifically- being with the central party rather than just the system at large. He also gets the impression that Colbert wanted his audience to go into the interview in suspension of disbelief over the War On Biden, for everyone to somehow pretend that it's not going on, and then try to keep the interview on those specific 107 days, rather than the 40 days that took place before the 107 days. Ultimately, they did end up going to the elephant in the living room. TSV is already skeptical of books, because they are ultimately just the opinion of their respective authors, and he doubts he'll dabble in 107 Days accordingly. But if he ever does, he believes that at least half of Colbert's audience will read the book with the War On Biden in mind, and only see the book through that lens with the likelihood that the book will try to make the War On Biden a less than minor narrative, but still come away like TSV did from the interview that Kamala would have won if there wasn't a War On Biden, -or- the central party suddenly remembers that principle is still a thing and recants their War On Biden so that Kamala would have the moral support she needed to send -trump- back to jail.

Tropical Soulvangelical forgot specifically what it was that made him mad enough to get me the Happy Bachelor to do a base share for him. But while he's trying to remember, a few things. Firstly, he strongly doubts that Colbert will take his advice and find a post-CBS gig to continue some sort of show from, and that's because TSV believes Colbert's under pressure from some of his supporters to take a CBS-or-nothing stance. They'll try to tell him that if he looks for a post-gig, that will amount to a "surrender" of sorts. TSV hasn't heard anything specifically, but Colbert did have "pod save america" on after last year's election which TSV found Team Joe's criticisms of to be valid. The criticisms are that, who do they think -they- are to think -they're- the ones to "save" America, being centered in Beverly Hills and not necessarily reflecting the concerns of the working class, particularly the pro-46. So TSV thinks psa's helping put this pressure on. Another issue is about the political trope of the Weak Donkey. TSV still thinks this sentiment is directed at actual registered Donkey voters (despite their everyday protests) and not the central party even though it should be directed at the party. TSV would otherwise not disagree with the trope -if- it were directed at the party, but he thinks it's actually very hypocritical to accuse -someone else- of being weak when -you're- too weak to specify who exactly you're talking about and not name names. TSV wants it to be Schumer and Schiff and the Dirty 30 and George Clooney and Jake Tapper and the other Bidenhaters, and this being only a little over a year after 7/24, TSV has observed that this Weak Donkey sentiment -still hasn't- acknowledged the attacks on Biden, so doubly hypocritical is this trope. A third thing is the "hidden story" trope being floated by some activists that claim that certain stories -they- think Americans should be concerned about are somehow inherently unreported. On the contrary, TSV has found experientially thus far over the past six months or so that 90% of what he believed he needed to know he's found -does- get reported either on newsradio for him first thing in the morning, or in Wikipedia's list of events for 2025. Sure you're never going to cover 100%, but where the missing 10% is concerned, he observes the activists as using the "smoking gun may be a mushroom cloud" argument because they, too, aren't specific enough as to which missing stories people should be looking out for. He believes that if you ask them, you're only going to get what amounts to their -opinion- and not actual reportable facts. He already does that here, because what's to stop TSV from declaring that the opinions he's getting me the Happy Bachelor to put out aren't themselves "hidden stories" that conformist society wants to deny are going on, just because he says so? And now here's a fourth thing. He never got a chance to say so 15 months ago, but over the Memorial Holiday Weekend of 2024, he got harassed on the road by a tailgater trying to get him to speed on a 45 speed limit road and TSV's already doing 50, and the tailgater passed him over a double yellow line with a roaring engine (no it wasn't a muscle car). TSV beeped at him and the tailgater beeped back at him in a kind of how-dare-you stance. TSV now, in August of 2025, condemns the tailgater as inherently personally corrupt and will not fall prey to the past events argument that the conformist society would try to give him. It was probably about politics but TSV never takes -his- politics out on the road. He's just trying to get from point A to point B, so it just doesn't make sense to him regarding people who just take a drive out on the road because they got nothing better to do and wasting all that gas. So accordingly he turns to the tailgater right now and asks him if things are really better off for the tailgater 15 months later than 15 months ago, and hence says to the tailgater, May God Have Mercy On Your Soul. TSV doesn't forget things because it's actually a sin to do so. It amounts to lack of faith in the things you claim to believe in.

Tropical Soulvangelical finds Sean Diddy Combs guilty as charged on all counts. TSV's verdict morally overrides that of the court, and he's got a number of points to make about establishing equity in the system which he saw lacking in the court trial. Firstly is the idea that the verdict of a court trial can never be questioned by the general public not exposed to evidence or lack thereof in the court, that somehow the general public is -disqualified- from making verdicts of their own and carrying out penalties accordingly in their own personal jurisdictions, e.g., increased demonstrations outside a Diddy concert with respect to the rights of survivors. TSV has just recently made a donation to a local anti-exploitation group because -trump- wants to pardon Ghislaine Maxwell -and- Maxwell's attorneys want the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction. They want it both ways, and TSV finds that our current court system makes that possible while a poor teenager languishes in jail sentenced 20 years to life for a shoplifting charge. TSV expects the prosecutor in such a case that has already seen a verdict to make a press conference discussing the 4- or 5- digit value of the items the teenager has shoplifted which may expose said prosecutor to disciplinary actions if it's determined that such assertions are untruthful and that said shoplifting items amounted to no more than $100 in value. Also, even if the items were of lofty monetary value, is that somehow an excuse for said teenager to be warehoused in the penitentiary system until he's 50 years of age? So with all that in mind, TSV makes the following requirements to our current system. If a defendant has the best legal team money can buy in a given felony case, a background review of the case as it has played out in court, including the actions of the judge, be automatically initiated upon acquittal of at least half the charges in the case. Such a review also invites public commentary that can be added onto via the public's reps in government even after the review is over, so that there isn't the move of "deadlining" on the public. TSV's pretty sure this is how they do it in Europe, which is why he's never seen OJ type trials in Europe. Only in America.

Tropical Soulvangelical wants to make a followup on our last base share regarding the attacks on Colbert. So while he still doesn't think that the cancellation was necessarily politically motivated, he nevertheless invites a public investigation into CBS accordingly. Maybe that's what he pretty much said last time, but he's justified in disinvolving Adam Schiff. He thinks Schiff was trying to pull a Biden to try to play down his attacks on Biden last year when Schiff said on Colbert's show that -trump- should eff off. Despite everything, TSV is still open to a sincere and contrite apology to Biden and his family and the American people from the Freshman Senator, so this whole business of "Hey I can pull a Biden too" he thinks really strikes as a poor and clumsy substitute to a proper apology. TSV's also disappointed that in confirming whether CBS portrayed the charred bodies of Kobe Bryant and his daughter, he was only able to find that Vanessa Bryant specifically sued authorities in Los Angeles County and not the media. That said, TSV did an AI to find out whether the newsmedia used the offensive photos (Chat-GPT via Duck.ai) and he was told, [paraphrase] Yes they did [end-paraphrase], so why shouldn't he believe that even with the inaccuracy disclaimer? He has heard in passing that CBS was involved, so why shouldn't he believe that someone was trying to hide something to make the evidence of such harder to find? Oh, and another thing, with respect to Colbert and TSV watching the monologue about Epsteingate and -trump-, TSV's wondering if -trump- kind of -enjoys- all the negative attention and all the denial he's doing in response, possibly because it distracts from having to attend to Presidential duties, because that's just a lot of hard work requiring the utmost pragmatism. TSV regrets that they don't do a poll on each and every single passing incident of something instead of just general issues, because then he would have seen a poll done on -trump- AI'ing an Obama video and whether the respondent believes Obama did something wrong solely based on an obviously fake video. 10% say he did, 85% say he didn't, and the other 5% is not sure. Of course when we get the final mushroom cloud over the horizon, about 5% of people seeing said mushroom cloud will poll as "not sure if that's a mushroom cloud and if I'm dead by the time you read this."

Tropical Soulvangelical's not sure he particularly cares whom he shocks when he says he doesn't see any immediate evidence that Colbert got cancelled for political reasons. He went on his activist channel to provide support to Colbert and his family, encouraging him to look beyond the vagaries of CBS, including their wanting to cancel the Star Trek franchise. He told him that any one of us can run a business like CBS better than those currently in charge. This is a network, TSV observes, that thinks nothing to showing graphic footage of school shootings like Parkland Florida without even a warning to the audience or the victims' families and he remembers CBS getting sued by Kobe Bryant's widow. She won that suit with respect to emotional distress when they showed the charred bodies of Bryant and his daughter after the helicopter accident. So TSV's thinking that if you don't think this is a network that makes sense for Colbert to just ditch CBS altogether like the way Howard Stern ditched regular talk radio for SiriusXM, he wants you to consider the above. So as per the theory of a political conspiracy? TSV's hoping for substantive evidence to arrive in time, but thus far all he has is Bidenhater Adam Schiff with a video caption reading [paraphrased] did CBS cancel Colbert over politics(?) I think we know the answer [end-paraphrase]. The phrase "I think we know the answer" TSV views as a poor substitute for substantial proof of something solely because you don't have that proof. TSV clearly sees this as an "extraordinary claims merit extraordinary evidence" situation. After all, those few scientists who go to a Ted Talks saying, "Is there intelligent life in outer space, I think we know the answer" TSV sees as getting laughed out of Ted Talks (he's hoping that Ted Talks's standards haven't sunk to the level of CBS). But TSV holds out hope we can find actual evidence instead of instances of emotional appeal that LogicallyFallacious.com warned him about. He's open to possibilities, including how he's now pretty sure that there was a second shooter on the grassy knoll (he feels they made a strong enough case) despite the fact that no one can contend that the second shooter necessarily delivered the fatal shot. So until then, TSV encourages Colbert to look to other sources like YouTube and Comedy Central proper among others. Colbert's capital of credibility outshines that of CBS by at least a hundred times. After the sex scandals of Les Moonves at least, TSV's having a hard time seeing CBS as the one time home of Walter Cronkite.

This month 7/25 marks the first year anniversary of 7/24, which a year later and perhaps forever Tropical Soulvangelical will remember as -the other- 1/6, where the central party betrayed Biden and his citizen supporters, and started off on a tangent that ultimately gave us another term of -trump-. TSV is blessed with being able to follow other supporters, like Chris D. Jackson, but only on a very fragmented basis. Sure there are the hashtags #Team46 and #TeamJoe but other than that TSV doesn't yet see a citizen supporter supported set of hash tags to try to unite Citizen Team 46. He's really not sure how hash tags catch on, because -anybody- can do a hash tag. Just go on your social platform of choice and do hash tag # and whatever phrase you want to hash tag with. But in any case, a year later, TSV is just as distrustful of the central party as he was a year ago, and is still at war with Schumer, David Axelrod, George Clooney, Jake Tapper and the Dirty Thirty. TSV resolves to keep on with primarying out as many of the personally corrupt as he can, and doesn't buy for a second any of their distractionary measures, including exploiting the very terrible -trump-. TSV keeps killing texts off his flip and ignoring manipulative emails. He just fired Insurgent in earnest though keeping track of Rachel Maddow and Lawrence O'Donnell, but he's certainly not going to miss the rest. So in addition to pro-Joe citizen hash tags, he wishes there was a pro-Joe video channel he subscribe into as the -real- Insurgent. For the time being, he'll have to keep looking.
