    Why would they want her? They would suspect that she would eventually turn on them too.

    Yes, a series of low quality/incoherent questions and comments by posters often makes me ask that question.

    Why do you want to know that? I don't think that's any of your business.

    Let's get back to the subject at hand:

    It's another Fire Drill Friday and Jane Fonda and her Cohorts will be at again. They have gotten the attention of people like you and me who really can't do much of anything about it at all. Citizens like you and me can't do much and we have to accept this and obligated to do so. Now I ask you, what can you and I do to get to this climate control to stabilize the global warming? HMM? Not much but we'll have to do the homework about it won't we? Think about it. That's all I'm going to say for now.

    I wanted to know that only because your earlier post seemed as though you did not quite comprehend the matter being discussed.

    Specifically, to my comment that the government needed to control the narrative and continue military aggression, you asked "how do you do that?"

    Jane Fonda seems to be rethinking getting arrested every Friday. The "Grace & Frankie" star revealed that she stayed the night in jail following her third arrest and the experience changed the trajectory of her plans.

    “I’ve got all the cockroaches [in the jail] on a first name basis,” she told the Post. “As one of my jailers said, ‘There’s gotta be better ways to call attention to your cause—don’t come back.’ I think she’s right. … My 82-year-old bones hurt.”

    Fonda was issued a court date for her arrest charges. Fonday could face a maximum of $500 fine and/or 90 days in jail if found guilty on "incommoding" charges, according to DCist.

    She told the Hollywood Reporter that 90 days in jail could affect her ability to film for the next season of "Grace & Frankie".

    “So I’m not going to get arrested every time," she said. "They give you three warnings and so I will step away at the third warning.”

    She began her original "Fire Drill Fridays" quest after being inspired by Greta Thunberg.

    It was about time she learned her lesson and the consequences of all this.

    Never mind I try to comprehend the matter discussed. We're talking about Jane Fonda and the Fire drill Fridays. We were going off track here so stick with it.

    I think the Fire Drill Fridays are over after finding out Jane Fonda and her people know the consequences of the maximum punishment of the $500 fines and 90 days in jail. I believe the overnight jail stay did them in. So better luck next time.

    Fonda is not proud of the US today just as Roger Waters is not proud of Britain for its crimes against Julian Assange.

    "I am not proud to be an Englishman" regarding the treatment of Assange.

    Patriotism means supporting your country all of the time, but its government only when it deserves it.

    At this point in time, neither the British government nor the US government deserve support for their criminal actions.

    I am always proud of my country. The USA has been that essential nation in the cause of liberty and freedom without which billions of people would have fallen under despots in the last 102 years at least.

    When some American does something bad, fails at high office perhaps, I despise them and heap shame and derision upon them. But never upon the Republic as a whole.

    What about when the American government does something bad, something criminal? Do you support your government in those actions or do you condemn it?

    If Jane Fonda and her followers are to know better, They should quit while they're ahead.

    Fonda was clearly happiest in Vietnam.

    Jane Fonda is a grandstander and that's all she is. If her grandstanding doesn't stop and soon, a $500. fine and 90 days in jail awaits her. I have to conclude that she's not normal like the rest of us are.

    Diane Lane, Piper Perabo Arrested While Protesting With Jane Fonda

    Jane Fonda was joined once again by a number of famous faces on Friday as she led a climate change protest in Washington, D.C. at the Supreme Court building.

    The actress was joined for the seventh political demonstration in a row, called "Fire Drill Friday," by actresses Diane Lane and Piper Perabo, actor Manny Jacinto (The Good Place) and model Amber Valletta. Perabo, Lane and Valletta were arrested.

    Fonda avoided arrest the past two weeks of protest because she faced a lengthy jail stay for each additional infraction with which was charged. Fonda previously spent a night in jail after she was arrested a fourth time.

    However, her attorney announced earlier in the week that the D.C. Attorney General's office declined to charge Fonda for her previous arrests. Authorities confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter that was accurate. She would not be charged.

    Last week, Fonda was joined by Abigail Disney and Robert Kennedy Jr., among others, including actresses June Diane Raphael and Marg Helgenberger, for a sit-in at the U.S. Capitol building. RFK Jr., Raphael and Helgenberger were arrested along with others. It is unclear if their charge of crowding and obstructing or incommoding was also dropped.

    Fonda has been a political activist for decades and a staunch opponent of oil industry developments and she has made clear her plans on protesting as many times as it takes to get her climate change concerns and point across.

    This is nothing to be proud of:

    https://www.therichest.com/poorest-list/10-countries-with-the-worst-income-inequality/

    "It's hard to imagine the United States being so high on this list, but truthfully, the US hasn't seen such large income disparity since 1928. And if you thought some of the other countries had it bad in regards to numbers, these numbers will no doubt serve to shock: From 2009 to 2012, the top 1% in the U.S. claimed 95% of gains from the economic recovery. And the rest of country, the other 99%? They only saw income growth of 0.4% while their richer counterparts saw their incomes rise by over 30%. While the economy is superficially showing recovery from the Global Financial Crisis, the reality is that the lower classes are not recovering nearly as fast as that top 1%."
