I’m going to say something that shouldn’t be controversial but will be. If you are a Christian, you can support border control and immigration being legal vs illegal. You CANNOT celebrate deportations and get off on the cruelty, and be a real Christ follower. Period

The head of our country’s government is in the early stages of consolidating total power. We must of course reject this, but that is not enough. We have to respond by creating a different and better kind of American politics than we have seen before.

If you see a magnolia blooming this week, please know that it is one of our oldest flowering species, over one hundred million years old. In another time, dinosaurs walked under their blossoms. They have been guardians of our planet, careful watchers.

And then, related to the Supreme Court, we see that Justice Alito was flying an upside down American flag at this house for several days around January 17th, to be precise, both after the insurrection on the sixth and while the Supreme Court was still considering whether to hear an election-related case. Was he showing support for "Stop the Steal"? One wonders. Expect more flak to come about from this. Have we EVER had such a blatantly corrupt Supreme Court??? Jeez . . .

I’m glad you brought up Alito and the upside down flag. I saw this, too. He blames his wife. Abhorrent man and a disgrace to the Supreme Court and our democracy.

For all the progressives back in 2000 who had to "follow my conscience" and vote for Ralph Nader, Samuel Alito was the prize you got for your "efforts," just like Trump was the prize for 50,000 Berners who had to "follow my conscience" despite Bernie asking them to please not write him in, in Wisconsin and Michigan and Pennsylvania - the margin by which Hillary Clinton lost those states and the electoral college. And now we've got another class of over-educated, under-intelligent "progressive" …

Let's not forget about those who do not vote.

The 2000 election hinged on Florida and hanging chads.

After 8 years of the "Cheney administration", "hope and change" denied Hillary Clinton the nomination, and Democrats regained control of Congress two years later. The change was less than stellar, but people still had hope.

By 2016, after Republicans had blocked Merrick Garland's appointment to the SCOTUS, Democratic superdelegates were all in for Hillary from the get go, but momentum favored Bernie Sanders. Why not place some blame there?

Hillary was status quo, as were the likes of Jeb Bush. Voters were still hungry for change, and Trump's messaging struck a chord. What a sad commentary on the state of American politics at the highest level.

Perhaps, Biden should have followed LBJ and stepped aside as a "transitional" candidate. One thing is for sure, if Trump survives the Republican convention, this election will be a watershed event in America's history.

Isn't it ironic that Liz Cheney has been ostracized while Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio kiss the ring?

Maybe we should be placing more emphasis on neutralizing people like Matt Gaetz, Loren Bobert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Tom Cotton, and Jim Jordan, et al.
