@bouriquet I fear we've seen that SCOTUS will do anything it wishes — this SCOTUS — without any regard for precedent or even basic human decency.

@wdlindsy I'm expecting for the North Korean bases set up in the USA, like in the remake of the movie 'Red Dawn"

"Make no mistake. MAGA fascism will not go away on its own. White supremacy, racism, patriarchy, sexism, xenophobia, and free market fundamentalist capitalism have been part of the U.S. political environment across the history of the republic, but have never been unopposed. In the same way that brave and strong-minded people challenged those forces in the past, brave and strong-minded people must challenge them during Trump's next term of office."

I wish I did not agree with everything that article said.
"when Orange Hitler seizes power in January, he’s gonna try to instigate a civil war with tyrannical policies that target immigrants, minorities, and Democrats.
"If Democrats try to defend themselves, we also get a civil war. But then we’ll be in a much weaker position...
"Either way, Putin wins and gets exactly what he wants: the US will destroy itself from within.”

@wdlindsy I am in full withdrawal of news, cable, CSPAN....even my favorite podcasts and YouTube programs.
I took time to read this article about the horrific choices of celebrities to lead important federal agencies.
Thank you for helping me get back to public discourse...it will take some more time.
Really America...a convicted rapist?

“Each appointment is part of a larger picture. Taken together, Trump’s candidates constitute an attempt to wreck the American government. …
However and by whomever this was organized, the intention of these appointments is clear: to create American horror.”

Wreck the American Government ?
Yeah I think that nails it
But like a Guy that likes speed, pushes the limit in a crowded street, crashes, survives, and has a whole lot of damage besides his NOW wrecked Ride ?
Trump & The GOP Madmen are going to be left with a miserable task and no one to blame but themselves
The Attack on Pearl Harbor hardened the American Resolve, we floated the sunk ships, buried our dead, and built new & better ones
Then we brought Hell to those that attacked US -

“The politicization of vaccines [signified by the RFKJr appointment that will result in plummeting vaccination rates] removes any ambiguity about the current character of American society.
Human history is not an unbroken line of progress. From time to time societies choose to disfigure themselves. A kind of civilizational self-mutilation.”

@TCMuffin I fear so. I know someone my age who has been crippled since girlhood because she got polio before the vaccine came out in our childhood. That people want to go back to pre-vaccine eras is just mind-boggling to me. How stupid can we be?
