Bette Midler’s observation here rings true to me, FWIW.
Given the sheer volume of Trump’s criminal activities since the 2017 inauguration, it’s just a matter of time until the Department of Justice, along with various state agencies, has airtight evidence supporting charges of seditious conspiracy, election tampering, etc.
Why do Republicans vote against measures that will making life-saving drugs affordable?
Well for one, they have no real option unless they want to go along with Democrats, and that’s totally out of the question. Democrats, regardless of the issue, are the enemy.
Causing the agonizing death of countless people is a small price to pay for fully distancing the GOP from anything that might appear woke, and providing things like affordable insulin is a textbook example.
It’s not hard to see how Donald Trump came to power. He saw that we could tap into the seething hatred of a very large group of uneducated people.
Even though he has been removed from office, Trump is arguably still the most influential person in the United States. Taking him down will require every bit of strength our justice system can muster.
Our country certainly is “Flirting with Disaster,” if it lets a president attempt to overthrow its government and establish himself into the same position that is held by Vladimir Putin in Russia, Kim Jong-un in North Korea, and Xi Jinping in China.
In fact, “flirting with” should be replaced by “eagerly accepting.”
This from Laurence Tribe, described as: “an American legal scholar who is a University Professor Emeritus at Harvard University. He previously served as the Carl M. Loeb University Professor at Harvard Law School. A constitutional law scholar, Tribe is co-founder of the American Constitution Society.”
But “a testament to our tolerance?”
I guess so, but I would add our naivety and our ineffectiveness in dealing with evil.
We’re playing with fire, and the threat grows every day that Trump is a free man.
Great job, Seth Silverton.
This goes back to what philosophers call the “coherence theory of truth.” Everything fits together nicely, but in many cases, it’s all crap. E.g., you may believe:
In America today, we have a completely corrupt justice system that operates according to the whims of the radical left and the Deep State, and is hell-bent in opening our borders, ruining our economy, taking away our guns, weakening our military, supporting quack science like the climate change hoax and vaccinations, giving handouts to lazy people, removing our freedoms, blaming our problems on white people, and destroying our nation with socialism and anti-family values.
Then, if you watch Fox News, this belief system is heavily re-enforced by men with neckties who appear credible.
Without this belief system, Donald Trump would have been just another white collar criminal.
The good news is that the J6 committee’s decision to refer Trump to the Justice Department for prosecution “will be unanimous.”
The bad news is that this decision is essentially meaningless. The DoJ doesn’t need a referral, and is not obligated to act on one if it arrives.
Here’s an investment opportunity for people who a) believe the future of air travel is electric (which it is), but b) have no idea what they’re talking about.
What concerns me most is that it moves so slowly. Your shortish commute to work is now measured in hours. LAX to New York should be, I’m guessing, a week or so. A bit better than a stagecoach.
I think we all know this, at some level. The problem is that making personal sacrifices for the good of all humankind is something that very few people will do.
Seriously, the avalanche of utter disgrace that is raining down on her and her family must be very difficult to accept, not that I sympathize.
