Alito is on a mission to burn what's left of the place down as he flees in the face of an incoming Democratic Senate.

The Senate itself must investigate Schmitt and the staffers involved as part of an effort to return to credibility as an institution. But Republicans don't want that. bradblog.com?p=19429

Schmitt’s Failed Perjury Trap of Jack Smith Was Not Just Dumb, It Was Also Based on a Lie
Despite suggestions to the contrary, Missouri's junior Senator had no 'text messages' even suggesting the Special Counsel was at a basketball game in Atlanta...

The concern is about protecting the country from Alito's partisan leanings and frequent misreadings of the record, which like everything else he interprets, he has twisted.

So is the answer, given the reality of corporate media and its increasing consolidation, for Democrats to adopt those tactics that enabled Republicans?

Don't think Doral or anything else is beloved to Trump. He found it in his interest to shutter it, so he did.

Hakeem Jeffries did controversially sit down with Jared in anticipation of the upcoming change in control of the House. Not sure if this was on the agenda as many would have urged, but probably not.

National Democrats are ignoring this race but local Democratic Senate candidate Hallie Shoffner, despite being outspent by Cotton 65-1, is substantially out- performing historic trends simply by being on the ballot.

True Third World stuff. Laws meant to constrain the Executive and protect the taxpayer brazenly violated, with the legal enforcement system neutered and dismantled and no legal consequences for the violators.

Who can forget, though many apparently have, Trump's failed missive to Erdogan pleading with him not to slaughter our Kurdish allies. "Don't be a fool! I will call you later. Sincerely, Donald Trump" www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Pay attention to the previously red districts in Texas' Rio Grande Valley that prompted Trump to push obedient Texas Republicans for his unprecedented mid-cycle gerrymander. Their gerrymander is now a dummymander as Democrats surge to big leads throughout the region. newrepublic.com/article/2161...

Transcript: Trump Midterm Tirade Accidentally Reveals Key GOP Weakness
As Trump’s monologue about his Texas midterm convention exposes a problem for the GOP, a Democratic operative argues that his collapse in South Texas is a real tell about what’s coming.

The former head of Kazakhstan’s National Security Committee alleged that Vladimir Putin possesses a comprehensive kompromat file on Donald J. Trump. He didn’t suggest it. He stated it. The file, he said, is extensive, meticulously documented, and designed not to destroy Trump — but to control him.
According to Mussayev, the kompromat includes financial records showing illicit transactions connected to accounts either owned by Trump or clearly affiliated with his name. It also contains statements from operatives who were directly involved in kompromat operations — individuals who could, if necessary, provide witness testimony confirming the authenticity and intent behind the material. Most damning of all, he claims, are the recordings: audio and video documentation of sexual crimes against minors and acts of violence against women.

The literal original sin of Trump-enabling was GSA and Congressional Dems, and later the Biden-Garland DOJ, and complicit legacy media, allowing Trump to illegally own and manage and encourage patronization of the Trump Hotel in a public building. They were all instantly revealed to be toothless

Only if Democratic officials and leaders are willing to truly fight for this. They have backed down until now. No Republicans, whether supposedly moderate or not, will decisively defect on a major vote until they detect Democratic resolve which has so far been demonstrably lacking.

Yes this is happening. The actual election is more or less conceded, but the real fight will be in declaring and recognizing the winner, which may have little to do with the actual results.

Trump and Republican enablers planned this delayed cut to Medicaid to confuse low information voters as to which Party is responsible for it. As most people impacted will not become aware until after the mid-terms the belief is that Repubs and lazy media will associate the cuts with Dem initiatives.

People like to say we live in the stupidest timeline but rather we live in the stupidest electorate that empowers people like Senator Schmitt with legislative authority. Did the denizens of Missouri not elect the Senator they felt they deserve, based on their educational and cognitive faculties?

All will likely proceed according to the rule of law, until the appellate phase where the panel composition will guide the outcome, and if an outcome unfavorable to Trump is still in force after that, Trump's friends on the Supreme Court will perform their usual work for him.
