He couldn’t pull it off if his life depended upon. A skillful cross-examination would cause Trump to have a complete and total melt down, and he’s cagey enough to realize it.
It's ironic
Merrick Garland will be in charge of prosecuting the evil spawn of Tim McVeigh’s terrorist faction.
Is it finally time to have strict and comprehensive anti-domestic terrorism laws in the US?
If not now, when?
What recent events have taught us about certain Republicans
It’s pretty obvious who’s been compromised by the Russians and their money.
Josh Hawley is a patrician posing as a populist
He lives in Virginia, but uses his sister’s address in Missouri for his voter registration, which speaks to his integrity. Hawley attended to Rockhurst High School, a private all boys Catholic high school in south Kansas City for the elite. (I lived nearby for many years across the state line in Kansas, in a very affluent neighborhood & am quite familiar with his type. My sons had friends who attended testosterone-overloaded Rockhurst.) His credential from Stanford and Yale law school speak for themselves. Hawley just another entitled rich kid posing as a Trumper populist-a polished grifter doing whatever it takes to advance his career, and increase his net worth.This latest silliness about challenging the electoral college vote is just a stunt he thinks will advance his political ambitions. Scratch Hawley’s surface, and despite his elite degrees, there’s nothing of substance there.
Trump wants Covid relief payments increased to $2,000, a gift to Warnock & Ossoff!
He’s threatening to veto the bill. Pelosi’s wants to hold a vote and McConnell must be having apoplexy.
We've Been Here Before - The Big Con
Excellent article from The Guardian (and a bit long but worth it) shows why the Biden/Harris "Build Back Better" is crucial to the future of our democracy.

Democrats need to address Republican use of the scare tactic, "socialism"
Republicans have been able to get far too much mileage from it. As Harry Truman said, it’s a scare word Republicans like to use for programs that help everyone. Democrats are overdue to reclaim the narrative that we know will be weaponized by Republicans and the mainstream media once Biden is inaugurated and in office. Let’s be proactive.
Thoughts on DC and Puerto Rico statehood?
The House has already passed a bill for DC statehood and the referendum in Puerto Rico just passed. I’m wondering how long it would take for both of them to write and pass a state constitution. The potential for four more Democratic senators is very appealing.
In future elections, I would like to see more emphasis on down ballot races.
The presidency is important. So are congress and the state legislatures.
