For 249 years DEMOCRACY and the US Constitution has worked for America. There have been issues but the Law has spelled out reasonable solutions for us. Why has our Democracy failed so badly?
What do you think ???
I respect and admire Erwin Chemerinsky, Dean of the UC Berkeley School of Law and his thought is very interesting:
EVERYBODY PAY ATTENTION!
The Mitch McConnell story is about to get interesting and is extremely important. It has to do with the balance of power in the Senate.
We know that Trump and the Republicans are up to no good tricks to control the MidTerms. The Republicans hold the majority but it's a very thin majority.
Ol' Mitch has been in extremely bad health. 2 weeks ago EMT's was called to his home where he was found unconscious. They administered CPR. We don't know how long he was out but if cardiac insufficiency was over 4 minutes chances are that his brain was damaged and he may well be brain dead or close to it.
Information is nonexistent!
Now, if Mitch is dead, Kentucky Governor Andy Beshears, a Democrat, can name a replacement until a special election can be held. With the balance of power in the Senate in mind, Republicans are desperate to keep that from happening! ONLY 4 months to the MidTerms!
If Mitch can be kept alive on life support, heart beating, his Senate seat is untouchable, meaning that his Republican Senate seat is retained. While he can't vote, a Democratic replacement can't vote either!
Either way Mitch is likely ROTTING because of his politics! Karma is hell!
Trump is falsely linking Democrats to Communism. He realizes that if he says Communists eat babies most of his followers will believe him!
Most Americans have no idea what those terms really mean, just that they are bad. Most don't have a clue.
In actuality they are economic and political theories, like capitalism, nothing more!
COMMUNISM - government ownership of property, equal wealth distribution.
SOCIALISM - seeks greater equality by creating more equal distribution of wealth with limited government ownership of property.
CAPITALISM - a system in which a country's industry is controlled by private owners for profit.
The United States practices Capitalism or bend over buddy, your share is coming! It leads to Trumps and Musks and Kochs ... etc. The others don't work either as in Germany and Russia and Poland who have tried variations.
The latest is Democratic Socialism (Mandami, Sanders) which is a real mystery but it links socialism and communism to the Democrats.
Chaos and confusion are Trump's trademarks and he wins by using them, as he is doing here, relying on American stupidity!
I'm generally against the death penalty ... generally!
"A Los Angeles-area man pleaded guilty to felony harassment charges in federal court on Thursday for sending fake ransom notes posing as a kidnapper of "Today" show co-host Savannah Guthrie's missing elderly mother."
There are exceptions however. In some cases such as this, brutal torture before death is warranted!
Instead he gets 5 years probation. I'll bet the SOB is a Republican.

. HE'S PLAYING JESUS AGAIN!
I've often wondered:
When you give $19 a month to the ASPCA to rescue those poor animals in their TV ads, where does your money actually go?
The ASPCA pays top executives millions—over $1.2 million to its CEO alone. It has a $388 million annual budget and is sitting on $466 million in investments. Yet it gives only 4% of the budget to local pet shelters in grants, and it's not affiliated with your local SPCA.
WE ARE GETTING RIPPED OFF ALL THE TIME!
Trump and Roberts meet at the oval orfice!
Maybe AI really isn't that smart!
I've been working on a small web server and when I pointed the domains DNS to the server, it would respond to http:// but not https://. That's a simple problem ... usually.
After a couple of days I gave up and asked the registrar's AI what I was missing. It gave me several things that should be changed and asked me if I wanted it to change them for me.
I said "sure" and it's never worked at all since! It's completely broken! When I enter the servers URL, it tells me to go F myself! 😂 😆 😆 😂
Has the water in the Reflecting Pond set up enough that you can walk and ride a motorized cart on it?
Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court today reading the Court's opinion on the 14th Amendment. His hemorrhoids were acting up!
What a sad day when the Supreme Court needs to tell the President what the Constitution says and that it can't be changed by EO!
What a glorious day it will be when a mortician superglues his lips together!
"Supreme Court strikes down limits on party spending in federal elections, backing Republican appeal"
IS THERE ANY QUESTION WHO'S IN CONTROL OF ALL 3 BRANCHES OF OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?
Because a person is lucky in making financial decisions, doesn't mean that he/she has any form of advanced intelligence! Without such luck their humanity becomes questionable.
PERFECT EXAMPLES:
He ran on the Democratic ticket. The Democrats , even Bernie, endorsed him. In his campaign he told fairy tales. He promised the impossible.
... and now?
On a day 75 years ago, my father sat me down for a little man to man talk. He started gently, "ya know son that there's something your mom and I need to tell you". he said to get my full attention. "you know all that stuff about Santa and the Easter Bunny? Well that's really just your mom and I" he said.
My mind raced, "you mean ... uh .. what about Jesus"
As the blood drained from his face, he quickly responded "Oh no! That one's real"
It was right then that I became a skeptic!
Not releasing the entire DOJ Epstein file over 6 months ago became illegal and Congress keeps forgetting. The DOJ must need more time ...
