  1. And apologies for the typos in this and my prior post. But gd autocorrect on my stupid fucking phone. But why aren’t they asking Kennedy about the pressure (blackmail?) for his resignation. Completing the fbi investigation on Kav that trump quashed and impeaching him. Possibly impeaching gorsuch for the stollen seat. The GQP is still screaming nonsense about Hunter Biden and the dems won’t even investigate known corruption that’s real.
  2. The dems should be pounding the table that Thomas must resign. They should have long ago subpoenaed Gianni about her role on 1-6 bad called on Clarence to testify about why he was still ruling on cases about 1-6. Hell, he should have been impeached the second that info came out. I get that the debate wouldn’t convict. But the dems should be yelling and screaming and holding these corrupt assholes feet to the fire. Make them Testify under oath about their corruption.
  3. Sure. But how's that rationally going to happen. The Dems get 2 more Senators, abolish the filibuster, and pass a law saying Marbury v. Madison was wrongly decided, and SCOTUS no longer has the power of judicial review? Good luck with that one.
  4. Why does it have to be one or the other? Congress is fucked up. It's filled with a bunch of wackos or checked out long termers in safe seats due to gerrymandering. I don't think anyone here disagrees with that. The Supreme Court is also fucked up and is rendering batshit decisions sounding in Calvin Ball.
  5. Yes, in part. But do you really want to get on a passenger jet that was certified for commercial flight based on guidelines developed by a group of laypeople that includes rocket surgeons such as MTG as opposed to engineers with flight experience at the FAA?
  6. Money and power. They keep making money, with no oversight of their fraud, and no regulations they have to follow. And they live in their private fortresses, without worries about the safety of their own tap water. Meanwhile, 2024 comes around, with air pollution, unsafe drinking water, no workplace safety measures, and on and on, and the rubes who are either brainwashed by Fox or paying attention only to the Depp/Heard trial but are pissed about their family being killed by toxic "medication" no longer subject to FDA approval, votes for the GQP, while other votes are being suppressed.
  7. It's not as obvious a point as with Roe, and a lot depends on how extreme SCOTUS is in its decision, though no reason to believe they won't burn down the government. But the executive's regulatory authority is huge currently, and most safety and health safeguards would potentially be gutted. For example and off the top of my head: Anything to do with the environment, emissions, pollution Workplace safety--OSHA and Div. of Labor safe food and medicine - the FDA EEOC And on and on. It'll be a shitshow.
  8. If you do head back to Chicago, there's a Holocaust museum just outside the city in Skokie, which I think is at least as good as the one in DC.
  9. And more ruined vacation plans. I was supposed to visit some family for the first time in ages over July 4th weekend, but they tested positive Monday. And then I made alternate plans to head to the beach with a friend, but she tested positive yesterday. Everyone fucking has it now.
  10. I spent a week in Quebec City and don't speak French and had no problems. I've also been to Montreal with no issues, but one of the friends I was with on that trip is from France
  11. Montreal and/or Quebec City Also, Florida in August will be brutal. I'd wait for the fall for that one.
  12. Most divisive president in our history.
  13. I still can't get over the fact that Dotard's SS code name was "Mogul." I mean I know he's a delusional narcissist, but wow.
  14. Huh. Weird that the House GOP thinks the Federal Rules of Evidence on admissibility in Federal trials somehow applies to Congressional testimony. Maybe we should take them up on this and have her testify in court. Are they conceding this is a criminal matter?
  15. I have such mixed feelings about this witness. She is clearly brave, and at 25-years-old showed more courage than anyone else in trumpworld. But she's also proud of her "legislative accomplishments" on behalf of the trump WH, presumably including such things as separating brown babies from their mothers and getting ACB on the Court. She's done some vile things that should transcend politics, had one of the "political parties" not gone completely off the rails in fascism.
  16. Oh, here's some more, totally non-shithole things:
  17. And your point is what, exactly? Politician has different opinion today than he espoused 16 years ago News at 11.
  18. Things were more obviously at a breaking point in the 60s. We're in a Constitutional crisis right now, with a Supreme Court of political hacks and a political party that controls many state legislatures telegraphing that they'll install a GQPer into office regardless of the true election results. But we don't have violence in the streets or a situation where even the white GOPers have to worry about their kids getting getting drafted into war unless they were wealthy. Instead, we have a country brainwashed by facebook and Tucker and paying more attention to Johnny Depp/Amber Heard than rising fascism. Just look at the posts on this board, saying why are you hysterical, women can just travel to other states, they'll never go after other things. We're entertaining ourselves to death, while the fascists take over the country. This was rambling. But I don't think the issue is division of the country, so much as that most of the country is living in an alternate reality, and can't work up the enthusiasm to care about anyone or anything, so long as they can live in their 4 bedroom house in the burbs and afford cable with Fox News on it.
  19. The problem's not the Constitution. It's a piece of paper. And only has as much value as the people in charge give it. The people currently in charge are treating it like toilet paper, while being cheered on by a few and ignored by many, who are receiving a steady diet of empty rage on gas prices, transgender athletes, and drag queen story hour.
