That Canon lady whom I'm not about to call a judge, and Harlan Crow's man friend said it's because Special Counsel Jack Smith was never confirmed as an attorney, where as all other historical Special Counsels were.

So they see him as an unconstitutional representative of the "Administrative State"... Because the rightwing in America are hard line constitutionalists (who still bend shit), they want to destroy the "administrative state" eg. Public Servants, eg. All the stuff that makes up a modern functioning nation.

It goes along with their "defund the government" and "defund the tax system" goals, and their goal to defund all revenue streams of the commons (via privatisation), and "getting rid of red tape" (eg. Public protections).

In the minds of conservatives there should be a basic criminal justice system, and nothing else. That's what they see as government.

Of course when they get into power it's all embezzlement and golden handshakes with corporate friends... So there's the facade they believe in and then what actually happens when they get into office, as there always is in politics.

...now with Project 2025, this pattern may never end.

How many more cases of "forever Capitalism" do we have to see to understand that Capitalism usurps all other value systems, including valuing each others health.

The problem is basic values are being usurped by profit driven interests.

Not economically viable.

How about an animated comedy series that teaches US history based on this premise... They always end up having partners and kids two of which always end up being cowboys.... Until the final season when they choose normal modern day jobs.

You could run a cabbage, but if everyone votes for them they've pulled it off. Voting is the difference between winning and losing.

It's all religious Zealots behind the scenes in politics. They all think the issue is protecting cites mentioned in the bible. They think that's the basis for Western Civilization rather than the French and American revolutions and the Dutch or Westminster system of law.

Why haven't most Western nations had atheist leaders? Why don't they ALWAYS have atheist leaders?

This preference for superstition over rationality holds us back as a species.

Yeah... Surviving that basically won him the election.

Not if everyone making this assumption gets out and votes, rather than staying at home and assuming they've already lost. The left outnumber the right after all. Losing is a turnout issue.

With just the same first and last name, where as the Republican party registration had other corroborating data, such as middle initial, address, and date of birth.

So the donation is nowhere near as solid as the Republican party registration.

Yep there's a lot of dramatic panic, and it needs to be translated into action not apathy.

Assassination attempts don't translate to election wins.

Stick to the plan, GET OUT AND VOTE!

I don't really get it.
