And she’ll win. The Republicans could nominate a slug for senate in South Carolina and it would win. Such is the state of intelligence and rational behavior in SC.

The EU also caved back in July. So CNN will join Fox, CBS and OAN as Trump sycophantic mouthpieces.

Ron, I predicted here months ago that Fetterman will switch parties during the six weeks after the midterms if the Senate becomes 51-49 D or R’s hold. I stick with that prediction.

Won’t matter — Walter and/or TWG can just contribute a few million or so to Trump’s PAC and that, along with the Kushner connection, would end the federal investigation.

Just read his “farewell” column. It is indecipherable — filled with platitudes, generalities utterly devoid of any specific examples, and tropes that leaves one’s head spinning to divine what the hell he’s really talking about (other than to pimp his 60 minutes gig).

Your opinion is fair. The uncalled rough liberties that opponents take against Clark were not limited to her rookie season; they continued to her shortened second year, and continue with a vengeance this year. I do agree that she needs to control her outbursts (7 well earned T’s) and just play.

It is clear from reading your opinion piece that you are far from an objective viewer. Your characterization of Clark as “a flopper” when she gets the shit kicked out of her on the court is just one example of your clearly biased view. It is not her place to respond to every far right/Nazi clown.

Today’s LA v. Callais decision joins Citizen United, tied for most consequential to the Roberts Court’s unceasing drive to destroy representative democracy. The six are evil — it will take generations to repair their damage.

Nikkei clawed back a third of that, closing down ~2700 or about 5% on the day. Kospi closed down a little less than 6%. But yeah, brutal. The recent US SPX wartime pattern has been to open down, go lower for an hour or two, then they pound it back so SPX recovers a good portion of the losses.

She can’t even think one move ahead in a game of checkers. Russia has a huge arsenal of battlefield, tactical and strategic nuclear weapons — and a dictator contemptuous enough of western humanity to use them.

That is correct; a party with standing would have to file suit, and the case would have to reach the S.Ct.

While it is (1) unconstitutional (Art. I, sec. 8) and (2) violates the War Powers Act of 1973, I don’t expect the Congress full of Trump fluffers or the feckless Supreme Court to do anything about it. This country elected a psychopath who is wielding dictatorial power. Shame.

If the DOJ was truly independent and dedicated to following antitrust law (and if the FTC was not Trump lackeys), there is no chance this would pass muster.

He’s a psychopath, not sociopath. Look at the Hare Psychopathy Checklist: he checks damn near all of the boxes. No empathy, self grandiosity, pathological lying, impulsivity, lack of remorse, etc. So a deranged villain runs the country, surrounded by incompetent sycophants, unchecked by Congress.

A CBS News town hall with Kirk’s wife, moderated by Bari Weiss (!?!) — Cronkite and Murrow are rolling over in their graves. Ellison’s next move: to destroy CNN. Pretty soon there will be Fox, FoxBS and FoxNN.

He’s right — so long as Trumpism, Fox News and the naked racism of both thrive in America, American culture is not of “equal value” to other honorable tolerant cultures.

It is difficult to keep the public’s attention and anger at any one Trump lie because the next day (or hour) he utters another even more outrageous. Rinse, repeat, constantly. Very frustrating for the sane among us. Same with his sycophants. Flooding the zone.

As predicted, Alito issued the stay yesterday — despite the definitive findings of fact that (a) the Texas gerrymander was racially motivated and (b) Texas officials likely perjured themselves at the hearing. One batshit, radical Justice gives 5 seats to the Republican Party despite the merits.
