I just keep remembering how Nixon ordered to "make the economy bleed" regarding Chile in the 70s when the result was putting Pinochet in power. Now Trump has put an illegal 50% tariff on Brazil.

It's fun to hang out with people who "talk like us," but it doesn't mean they would make a good president.

We have to face the fact that 30% of our citizens are literally insane, sadistic and/or psychotic.

"It is too easy for modern readers to feel superior by blaming the "bad people" of another time & region. Slavery reveals how anyone, now as well as then, can come to accept, perpetuate, and justify and exploitive system that seems essential and immutable. After all, we live with our own monsters."

“Originalism is an incoherent doctrine. It allows you to prove anything. Thus what it amounts to is a ritual invocation of the Founders, gesturing at this or that piece of text, before delivering whatever conclusion was approved on Fox News the night before.” www.liberalcurrents.com/we-have-no-s...

We Have No Supreme Court

The philosophical incoherence of originalism prevents the Court from performing its core functions as a supreme court.

Joe Walsh refuses to see the difference between anti-semitism and anti Netanyahu. He will not even comment on the difference. All he says is that his support for Israel is unconditional. Looking for AIPAC $$. Can't get outside of his big head. He is not a Democrat. He is only anti Trump.

Go to where your heart is and that is clearly the Republican Party. Your strategy will get them elected so just be honest about it.

That's the plan. As soon as Dems win pivot to the deficit. Every single minute that is what they will be talking about and as usual they will probably win the presidency for a deficit that they are mostly responsible for.

You think SCOTUS hates this? Think again. They have already softened the ground through the shadow docket to get us comfortable with their 'FINAL' word on anything and everything.

So many times Democrats are left flat footed to these recurring lies in these hearings. Schmitt, Kennedy and Grassley were counting on it this time and this time it did not happen.

What do John Roberts, George Will and the now diseased, William F. Buckley have in common? They all think that us peons are not as smart as they are and if they had their way only the smartest would be allowed to vote. They despise the poor, the uneducated and most especially, immigrants.

Another example of projection by the Republicans because this is exactly what Leonard Leo's Federalist Society did and are still doing. One way or another they are all groomers and proud of it.

An extremely important oped, as destroying separation of church and state is central to the Catholic Integralist believers on Supreme Court. Secular democracy is heresy. Note Leonard Leo and his Becket Fund NGO are primary in this SCOTUS erosion of democracy. www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/o...

That is a very easy position to take and it ties in with Trump.

Well, knew all along that would do that. You don't hold any Democratic positions except that you hate Trump. That doesn't make you a Democrat. It makes you, simply, anti Trump.
