Somehow not everyone is aware of fact alluded to below. So one more time: John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Amy Coney Barrett were all on GWBush 2000 'Florida Recount' team. (Which made GWB first prez in 112 yrs to 'win' after losing popular vote. Now they 'impartially' rule on our future.)

If only our nation's press had accurately reported on Trump's catastrophic cognitive decline, when it mattered - during the election campaign. ... But they had their hands full handwringing about Biden.

The strategy next time should be to indict everyone for everything, everywhere. The ex-president, if alive, should get a hundred indictments, spread across as many districts as possible, with as many state charges separately brought as possible. Cabinet members and aides should get dozens.

There need to be so many separate indictments so spread out to ensure no one judge or circuit can protect them. And they need to spend the rest of their lives on trial. This can take decades.

Hegseth, for example, can get a separate murder indictment for each boat strike. We should also encourage other countries to charge them as well where justified, and be open to extradition.

The skills of a bullshitting, oft bankrupt, real estate developer really don’t translate well to leader of the free world. Why it’s taken some people 10 years to figure that out and others still haven’t, is the mystery of our lives.

The entire US politics and news industries spend a large chunk of their waking hours on a platform designed to inflate the importance of that 18%. It's a big problem, and why you get stuff like Tammy Duckworth saying she's against impeachment because she wants to "find a compromise" on USAID $

If they deserve to be impeached — and so many of them do — then the House should impeach them. Maybe the Senate won‘t convict but it’s still worth the effort to remind people that laws still exist and that Democrats still defend it. Also, as noted here, make ‘em sweat.

Symbols matter. White House isn't a palace. Kennedy Center is for the general public to enjoy. We don't have a triumphal arch in DC because that's imperial. We don't put the president's face on money because it's monarchical. It's about tearing down everything that says we're a democratic republic.

Jared Kushner is not "on the other side of the aisle." He's not an elected official. He's not an administration official. He's the president's son-in-law and a private citizen. You do not, in fact, have to take meetings with relatives of the president. Some might even say you should *not* do that
