Knew someone who did a post graduate tour of Europe ending through Israel. In Israel said Israelis were unpleasant while Palestinians were friendly. Summer 1970.

This facetious post ignores and trivializes how the Dem party establishment ridicules, scorns and ostracizes any non-full compliance with whatever direction it chooses for America. How did Biden win the nomination?

You should probably thank Joe Manchin for that. Biden blocked a far better proposal in BBB working to kill its linking to a bill Manchin wanted. And isn't it strange how "BIDENOMICS" is no longer mentioned because the millions of people that most need help know it's not coming to them?

You're not absolutely outraged that a piece of shit like Biden, barely coherent, is the champion this piece of shit Dem party has forced on America as a savior? And if he happens to win, think for a second Dems won't look for a way to keep fucking average Americans, keeping the grift line going?

At this point, with "official" presidential acts permitting just about anything, those SCOTUS members that have endangered the republic could be arrested and jailed. No rulings from them allowed. That's the insanity we've fallen into. But you're right. Only OK for MAGAts.

Won't happen from within the Dem party. What was done to Bowman demonstrates that. The big money supports itself, not the people. And a third party will be difficult to form. Dems have made that route extremely difficult.

And why doesn't that slightly older and slightly more apparently demented guy use those 'official' powers NOW? This is a threat to the republic.

Empathy is a very rare commodity. And the savagery is only permitted for a select group. If reversed, even in fantasy, it's considered the ultimate evil that must be responded to with even greater, but justified, evil.

Weren't Biden's 2020 wins worse than down ticket Dems? It was very much an anti-Trump consideration rather than positive. Yet with Trump going full Reich that seems less a factor.

This now seems to be a counter talking point. For me it just shows how both parties don't really have the good of the country as a concern. And all the allowed alternatives wouldn't either.

Absolutely. When at police ceremonies many police turned their backs on him in a public display of disdain de Blasio should have demanded their names and had them disciplined. It's supposed to have a military like control but it's out of control.

Not a fan but he also had Cuomo trying to block or undercut many of the positive measures he supported. Blundered as mayor elect making statement about warning mixed son to be careful with police. Police dissed him from that point. Not sure why he wasn't aggressive in response.

I've seen this with video series removed from availability. There's some monetary advantage doing this. I've wondered about copyright though. What's protected if the material is blocked? Supposed to be in public domain eventually. No basis for 'out of print.'

Part of this radical politicizing of the courts is that rabid SCOTUS members can 'punt' because they know they'll be fed suitable doctrinaire cases in the near future. They've set up a pernicious system for radical change in America.

I don't the details of the cases but the conviction of Democrat Alabama governor Don Siegelman was considered at the time to be undeserved. Did his case fit the pattern of gift after the fact?

It'll be conservatives that do it first. Dems are too chicken. Probably won't even try to add to SCOTUS when they get the chance. Repubs would scream and Dems run from that.

She is where she is and she knows that any attempt to remove her, no matter how apparently valid, would cause a national backlash. At the same time attempts are being made to remove Merchan and question his trial oversight. There's an obvious gross imbalance in America's legal system.

I don't believe this is an honest view but instead intended as a projection for low info MAGAs. You can't claim something is a major concern and not understand the mechanism of a drastic change affecting that concern. It was major news at the time that 3 Trump pushed judges caused the change.

Life tenure. That doesn't seem to mean much for 'liberal' professors that upset the right. If Trump wins and a SCOTUS spot opens up, she's a likely choice.
