    A big chunk of the party and growing is all in on a prior attempt to overturn a legal election and install their guy.  They are on board with him saying he’ll act like a dictator.  They cheer when he says he will leave alliances.  They expend their most vigorous efforts trying to get fewer people to vote.

     

    I dunno, it seems EXACTLY that nefarious. 

    Of course,  this was all predicted by Bush v Gore

    Just imagine this happening in Germany during the WW2 era. That generation would have treated this traitorous cunt like he should be but instead you have MAGATS that are slurping this shit up.

    During WWII, yes, but just before WWII started.....counterpoint:

    So I'm just about halfway thorough this book...

    It's eerily fascinating how close this is to our current history

    wait... who the hell are these people and did they just physically attack some poor guy on the street for being an immigrant?? like, seriously, is that what's being broadcast here, and nobody did anything? what the actual fuck??

    "Guardian Angels" of 80's fame.

     

    Sliwa, their boss,  a wannabe NYC militia leader

    We're mostly guys so we assumed she meant "physical combat," but she's a woman so "fight" probably meant "disagree verbally."

    In either case, no.

    The nearest Trump sign to me was over on another street. It's a couple with a puppy and the lady belongs to my wife's running club. I guess if blood flows in the streets she (meaning the Trumpkin 400 yards away, not my wife (I hope)) might try to chase me down and stab me in the neck with a screwdriver, if so, may I go down fighting so that they let me into Valhalla.

    I've been stabbed by a screwdriver before. 

    It's painful,  but unless it's pretty sharp,  it doesn't go that deep

    Sounds like you dodged a bullet.

    Or maybe, you didn't dodge the bullet?

    Yeah,  I took a bullet to the upper abdomen at close range... just a little guy. Bullet went in,  split my vena cava, split my sciatic nerve, hit L4, lodged in between L4 and L5

    Outside of quibbling over the true definition of "died", that's at least a little encouraging.  (Takes notes.)

    Well, I had no pulse and they couldn't get a vein so they had to central line me in the ambulance...

    I coded three times.  Maybe I wasn't dead,  dead,  but the surgeon said I was DOA

    Nobody can say with certainty what would be the most "humane"way to execute someone.  No living human has died.  (Let's leave reincarnation out of this.)  Medical experts probably have more insight than most, and most of them seem to think the quickest way is the most humane way (bullet to the head, decapitation, etc.).

    Here's the problem:  death penalty advocates have no concern for a humane execution.  In fact, most are interested in the LEAST humane methods.  It's bloodlust, pure and simple, and it is a huge stain on our collective "humanity".  

    I have died.  

    I had severe internal bleeding which was really pretty peaceful.  I felt little pain,  probably due to shock, and I felt like I was just very tired and was comfortably falling asleep... so much so that when my friend kept waking me up it was making me very angry... so there's that

    While it's a good ruling, the cynical part of me is this was a calculated move that gives the Rs more fuel for their "IMMIGRATION!!!" fire come November. 

     

    "FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD:FWD: We are in a crisis and BRANDON removed the wire to make it worse!!?!?!?!"

    Yeah,  but the dems should be hammering their heads in the ground since the R's are running their usual play of voting against comprehensive reform then saying "these dems won't do anything to fix the problem!"

    Especially since Trump said it all out loud

    Just assume that the current Supreme Court will not rest until the government can be drown in a bathtub… except for the power of the President. That office is somehow untouchable. It’s written in the constitution … or at least that’s the original idea as interpreted but our justices.

    Don't forget they're going to do everything to expand their power as well... they haven't been setting this all up so that they can't benefit themselves as well,  as we've what seen, both monitarily and in sheer power

    They want to be the arbiters of everything.  Just witness the "major questions " doctrine,  and pretty much every decision since they got a majority

    Every election cycle, the executive branch assumes more and more power through the expansion of the Chevron doctrine, yet we have a bunch of cheer leaders in here acting like it doesn't enable the kind of authoritarianism we saw under the past administration. It clearly needs to be curtailed. Let's hope that's all they do. Worst case, mass chaos, but with the silver lining that the pubs won't be able to pull as much shuts off. 

    In not completely sure that's how this works...

    I AM pretty sure that the Supreme Court would love a chance to vest more power in the judiciary,  however,  and 6 of 9 justices are now dreaming of how they're going to lord over the other two branches with this new interpretation they have probably already decided upon. 

    Let's all get ready to welcome our new overlords,  the unelected textualists who can't wait to turn back the clock on any government regulation, and our society to a new theocracy. 

    Here's a piece by Robert Reich on the issue:

    Well the last I checked I wasn’t posting the story in CR so figured we could stay on topic. But you are right that’s my fault I should know better.

    None taken and I agree. The ironic thing is we were military police and very well trained on the use of force and she should have known what was going to happen. I think it speaks to the power of the cultish brainwashing by maga.

    I tend to think she was maybe murdered for her belief in her white privilege... she was probably, actuality killed for her lack of self awareness of her actions,  thinking that they wouldn't shoot her,  a white woman who had served her country...

     

    Of course,  she was wrong

    Let me be clear on this…

    any rioter that took one step into the capitol that day, should have been executed that evening on the capitol steps.

    Maybe even those that were at the first barriers?

    What’s nuts with the anti-vaccine stuff is that he’s probably old enough to remember people who were affected by polio, among other things we vaccinate for.  But vaccines become evil because dumbfucks on the internet won’t do their own research

    No,  I'm pretty sure they do their own "research "
