Matt Allison Posted 21 hours ago Share Posted 21 hours ago I got a reminder of this today. Time and (especially) Newsweek no longer really matter, but they definitely did in 1992. Man was I pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill Fite Posted 19 hours ago Share Posted 19 hours ago Is it inconceivable that 6 of the remaining states will not join in calling for an Article 5 Constitutional Convention if Trump wins the election? If one is called all issues could be on the table including possibly secession and expulsion of states. Quote How far are we from an Article V Convention? Right now, there are four major campaigns for an Article V Convention: the Balanced Budget Amendment (BBA) campaign, the Convention of States (COS) campaign, the Wolf-PAC campaign, and the term limits campaign. Each has different goals, but together, they have convinced 28 states to call for a convention. That means they have just six states to go.

Steve Thomas Posted 11 hours ago Share Posted 11 hours ago - former federal Judge J. Michael Luttig 07/01/24 - “America’s democracy and rule of law are this country’s heart and soul,” Judge Luttig said. “Our democracy and the rule of law are what had made America the envy of the world and the beacon of freedom to the world for almost 250 years now. Today, the Supreme Court cut that heart and soul out of America.” Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted 9 hours ago Share Posted 9 hours ago Day two of Donald Trump's dictatorship By Chauncey DeVega July 2. 2024 https://www.salon.com/2024/07/02/day-two-of-donald-dictatorship/ Without immediate action, DeVega warns, Americans can expect the following: Camps that can hold millions of people One lone national political party White Christianity as the nation’s official religion Mass deportations Military occupations of Democrat-leaning cities The United States military will be ordered to occupy Democrat-led cities and other “blue” parts of the country to combat "crime." There will be a national “patriotic” education program where dissent and intellectual freedom and otherwise challenging “conservative”/neo-fascist orthodoxy and dogma will not be allowed. High-quality public education will be ended and replaced with indoctrination programs to create compliant subjects who lack the intellectual training to be critical thinkers and responsible citizens in a real democracy. Universities and colleges will be targeted with censorship, lawsuits and other efforts to defund and close them down – as well as to threaten and intimidate faculty and administrators – if they do not sufficiently support the Trump regime and the larger right-wing reactionary and revolutionary project.

Matt, Which Democratic candidate has the best chance of defeating the Orange Psychopath in November? (I don't know the answer to that question.) Kamala Harris was a distant 5th or 6th in the 2020 Democratic primaries, before dropping out early. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Thomas Posted 5 hours ago Share Posted 5 hours ago “ELIZABETH LYNNE CHENEY IS GUILTY OF TREASON,” one post created by another user that Trump amplified on his social media website Truth Social on Sunday reads. “RETRUTH IF YOU WANT TELEVISED MILITARY TRIBUNALS.” A separate post Trump amplified on Truth Social Sunday includes photos of 15 former and current elected officials and says, “THEY SHOULD BE GOING TO JAIL ON MONDAY NOT STEVE BANNON!” In addition to Biden and Harris, the post includes photos of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, former Vice President Mike Pence and members of the House select committee that investigated the January 6, 2021 attack on the US Capitol. Not just any old trial mind you, but military ones. Welcome to Argentina. Steve Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Allison Posted 3 hours ago Share Posted 3 hours ago This article seems to implicate Biden's advisors in that Biden was on some kind of insane globe-hopping schedule leading up to his debate. When not exhausted, he is said to remain an imposing presence: "Aides present in the Situation Room the night that Iran hurled a barrage of missiles and drones at Israel portrayed a president in commanding form, lecturing Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu by phone to avoid a retaliatory escalation that would have inflamed the Middle East. “Let me be crystal clear,” Biden said. “If you launch a big attack on Iran, you’re on your own.” Netanyahu pushed back hard, citing the need to respond in kind to deter future attacks. “You do this,” Biden said forcefully, “and I’m out.” Ultimately, the aides noted, Netanyahu scaled back his response." https://www.seattletimes.com/nation-world/bidens-lapses-are-increasingly-common-according-to-some-of-those-in-the-room/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
