Lawrence O'Donnell just cited a poll which indicates 54% of Americans want a Senator who will be a check on Donald Trump. How many people are there out there who are like me - bothered by the fact that this number isn't way higher?

The premise of the Senate hearing w/former special prosecutor Jack Smith is built around the idea that Trump was treated in an unusal & unfair manner by the Mr. Smith's investigation and in subsequent indictments This & periphiral charges made by Senators trying to gain Trump's favor are Trumped-up

This. It has always been this. A sitting American president did this. And because he did this, he should have been convicted and put behind bars. And the fact that we never held him accountable for these crimes will forever stain this country. And we may never recover from it.👇

The reason why Donald Trump was not shown the door a long time ago: a) the citizenry is disinterested in politics. b) the people are too dumb to grasp what's happenng. Is there a "c" possibilitywhich explains the situation?

Of course too, there will be the wholesale challenges to tranches of ballots from chosen locals, efforts to 'dirty' them, and toss out entire elective districts. Damned right, Phil, there will be a multi-layered effort to deny and overturn election results all over the USA.

It's perfectly obvious he's a mental case. What is truly astonishing is how the SCOTUS and our Congress so easily turn a blind eye to it. The majority in both Congress and the SCOTUS are unfit to serve. They are, along with the president, destroyers of our nation.

Even more confused, faced with our manifestly unfit POTUS, Congress misses (or pretends to miss) the obvious, while the SCOTUS feeds his bottomless needs for authority and validation. Not sort of, not almost; we are right there in Alice's wonderland.

The US Treasury elected not to print bills in denominations over $100 in order to inhibit illicit dealing. But, not to worry! We now have CRYPTO. Which itself should have been made illegal since almost day 1.

Agrees? This is ESSENTIAL if there is to be any realistic hope of saving our nation, of making it something better, OR even of restoring it to its former and imperfect state. ** RESTRUCTURE the Supreme Court. **

The limits of his power may be at their weakest. Yet, he does not act like a weak president. This is because he is frequently acting at the limits of what he can get away with. Other presidents usually acted below that limit, observing instead the rules of precedent and the constitutional order.

It won't be near enough to put him in jail. Every bribe, every ill-gotten penny, plus just & proper fines, must be legally taken or recovered from him and his estate.

It is extremely important that the Senate show spine and reject Blanche's bid for AG. Be aware, already Senate approved, he may remain as #2 at the DOJ. Where he can be a #2 who directs a string of acting AGs, each of whom having been told by Trump, they will be taking their orders from Blanche.

Trumps emotional mentality is not adolescent. It is that of a nine or ten-year-old, at best. (Not intended as a put-down, but as an accurate characterization.)

It is a disease, and it is very real. But, it is NOT TDS, Trump derangement syndrome, It is Trump appropriate response syndrome (TARS). I have it. It brings me down too much of the time. We do need to dump this affliction, and the person who is the cause of this dark curse on our USA.

The people who are almost always BLAMELESS are THE VOTERS. We are poor little lambs who cannot distinguish when we are being fed lies. The politicians are to blame when they take office, and the ones that lose are also to blame, because they ran campaigns that were "too weak" to have won.

The sad truth is there is no democratic system that can successfully be run without the good will of the participants and a willingness to abide in the rules. And, we've gotten to the place where we have neither. One party alone, however enlightened, cannot make it work.

Every day there are several new & negative NEWS STORIES about Trump which, under past administrations, would have each gotten a couple weeks of coverage. They're lucky to get a day in some while getting none in others. "THE ZONE" is "flooded" with shit daily. Not tales, but actual shitty events.

How hard is it to prove a guy in a rehab center is alive and competent? Gov. Bashear could require the rehab center to allow Dr. Langefeld, KY’s Commissioner of Public Health, to meet with Mitch. If they say his wife refuses, that’s the last straw. Appoint & let them sue.

It's a two-fer for Trump. He gets to make excuses for his loss in 2020, and he gets to lay down a predicate for all his planned interference in the coming election season and the litigation and contentiousness post-election. What a bunch of steaming BULL SHIT.

As long as monied people (and especially corporations) are allowed to influence elections and candidates, via unrestricted $$ contributions, extreme income inequality will negate any democratic influence in our political-economic system. Understanding this does not require an Einstein.
