Agree Enco,

Obama was a complete fuck up in the middle east.

How many tens of thousand died because of his policy?

And the failure to recognize Islam, what it is, what is its nature, what does it do?Pathetic.

Hardball!

They’re playing with rocks. You want to counter with paper airplanes?

Look it is pretty obvious Trump and his cabal have no intention of ceding power. To that end and considering the decomposition of our institutions and norms it is time to be proactive and machiavellian.

Dems should be prepared for every contingency. Go to Federal…[Read more]

But there is no constitutional provision that allows a president to suspend the Constitution or cancel elections indefinitely. Even during the Civil War, when Abraham Lincoln suspended habeas corpus in limited areas, elections still occurred in 1864. There is no built-in “emergency extension of presidency” clause.

Yes, the US Constitution is very strong on this point.  To amend Article V would require 2/3 of both the House and Senate to propose an amendment to change it. But even then it would need to be ratified by 38  out of 50 states.

Trump cannot use an executive order, Supreme Court reinterpretation, or congressional workaround that can bypass that r…[Read more]

This is my wild guess. Seems to me that Bannon’s stirring the pot ahead of time, expecting MAGA (or some future evolution of MAGA) to own the presidency.

It wouldn’t surprise me if Trump gets sick enough to be unelectable, or could die before his term is up, but maybe there’s enough new deep state in place to act as a proxy in Trump’s name. Maybe…[Read more]

Awaken and smell the fetid politics!

Did you listen to Bannon? I know you heard him. Did you listen? Zero attempt to argue about the inarguable unambiguous plain language of that amendment. One hundred percent graft. This mofo will be prez on such and such a date. WILL.

And notice how Bill Maher humored and condescended to Steve Bannon,…[Read more]

Jon Ossoff does characterize MAGA properly, but there is probably enough Venn Diagram intersection between the elites in both the Democratic Party and the Republican Party contained in the Epstein files to stifle running on being the Anti-Epstein.

Also, Tucker Carlson would still find any angle to bring Antisemitism into any campaign…[Read more]
