@georgetakei I really hope you’re right. Problem is, come Nov 4th, do you really expect we’ll have free and fair elections? They will either be cancelled by Trump calling on red state governors to suspend their state elections under the guise of “national security” (if even one of them does, the entire process collapses) or if elections proceed and the result is something he doesn’t like, the results will be deemed illegitimate.

How do we resolve this? Congressional GOP and SCOTUS must all grow spines and exercise their constitutional checks and balances. NOW!! They must stop cowering to the bully and stop throwing democracy under the bus.

Are we paying attention yet, America?
Navarro says it plainly like few others can.
Trump fired the head of the BLS as a warning to future officials to not report bad news. But he’s also busily rewriting the past. I call him out in three of his lies in my piece today, write-up in the replies.

I encourage you to read this frightening article about a Supreme Court that is operating ina way that undermines democracy.

“In one single month, the Supreme Court: legalized bribery of public officials, declared the president of the United States absolutely immune from criminal prosecution for “official” acts, and made the power to issue regulations subject to the court’s unelected approval.
…The court also ruled that people who fail in their violent attempts to reverse the results of an election can run for office in the very next election; would-be mass shooters can buy attachments to change their weapons into machine guns; and white state legislatures can systematically remove all Black people from their districts and call it “politics…” and that insurrectionists who attack the capitol and obstruct the work of Congress cannot be charged with a crime, but homeless people sleeping on the streets can be sent to jail.”

It’s Impossible to Overstate the Damage Done by the Supreme Court in This Term — The Nation

The effects of the high court’s rulings will be enduring and almost impossible to overturn without a serious reckoning by Democratic lawmakers.
