Roberts was 18 in 1973 and therefore according to the unwritten rules too old to watch Saturday morning television, hence why he missed the critical lesson on George III that all Gen Xers received:

Unpopular decision they are issuing for their benefactor who gave them the job and has an agenda— just as some of your colleagues (forgive me for noting what I read on social media) appear to be publishing unpopular pieces they are issuing for their publisher who gave them the job and has an agenda.

Posited until today that John Roberts would go down in history as the Chief Justice at least as bad as if not equal to Roger B. Taney. He has now exceeded Taney.

“The Court’s conservative majority has revealed itself to be the most direct threat to American democracy, and any Democrat who is not ready to shelve old fears about ‘court packing’ and get serious about expanding and reforming the Court isn’t made for this moment.” Correct.

There is no question the Supreme Court must be expanded if we are to save democracy. Dem members of Congress who believe that should go to the president, tell him they will fight for him, particularly as there are calls for him to leave the race, and that he must expand court.

They don't even have infinite resources for hunting down foreign journalists who travel surreptitiously through their countries as tourists. And when they catch you, do your best to act like a stupid tourist and pay a fine. Though indeed facial-recognition technology has made it more complicated.

Excellent advice, something I can absolutely concur with having been hounded for years by the relevant organs of the CCP for writing about Xinijang and Tibet. People, it is perfectly acceptable to post on social media under a screen name and if other users don't like it they can ignore or block you.

The American public is well aware of its antiquated system of democracy that cannot be modified without 3/4 of the states agreeing to a constitutional convention, at which point everything will go off the rails. Tiny Wyoming population 581,000 has two Senators just as California with 40 million, /1

After taping Saturday & Sunday pages to the wall and reviewing how many times they stuck knives into Biden and how few times they stuck knives into Trump, the confirmation I have is that you are right: these people refuse to believe that all of their posts and all of their columns don't mean shit.

The idea that Trump has the mental and cognitive health to serve as president is just ... bananas. Focusing on Trump during the debate, I heard a delusional narcissistic sociopath completely divorced from reality who will be sentenced on July 11 and possibly lose immunity as soon as tomorrow.

Kamala Harris isn't some perfect solution to all that ails the Democratic party. But she is basically the only other plausible option, and insisting that a white or male figure untested on the national stage is somehow a safer option is telling on your own racial and gender attitudes.
