That’s the weakness Franklin had in mind when he said
“If you can keep it”.

And the courts get to decide whether the legislation that Congress passed and the president signed meets Constitutional muster.

Almost like the three branches of government check each other’s authority.

Sounds like a Seinfeld episode.

The people who stood by while George Floyd was murdered would have been arrested, or worse, if they had tried to intervene.

Former NASA astronauts launch new group to promote U.S. constitutional values More than 100 NASA astronauts have signed on to a nonpartisan effort to promote “the principles that have propelled our nation for 250 years”

"the rule of law, checks and balances and the peaceful transition of power..."

“The group plans to release scorecards rating national political candidates on how well they adhere to the Constitution and the rule of law.”

That plan is sure to get them labeled as “radical left extremists” by Trump and his minions.

Data Colonialism: AI Data Centers on Indigenous Land The artificial intelligence industry’s data center boom is the latest chapter in a long history of environmental racism and resource exploitation in vulnerable Native communities, says Oglala Lakota a...

“Krystal Two Bulls, a longtime Oglala Lakota and Northern Cheyenne activist. is the executive director of the group Honor the Earth, which has launched the No Data Center Coalition. Honor the Earth has been closely monitoring the construction of data centers in or near Indigenous lands.”

Any mainstream media coverage of this? The depth of corruption is staggering.

This is loser behavior.

PabloReports: What do you make of Stephen Miller and Tom Homan asking for all this money but then refusing to show up to the hearing today?

Frost: That’s what happens when you have a lapdog as speaker.

Shorter version: rural racism.

A whopping 18% of Americans live in rural areas. If the Constitution wasn't rigged in their favor they wouldn't have been able to jerk the majority around for decades since republicans figured out how to use the them to manipulate the system.
GOP's constituency is mostly cow shit.

These losers do this all the time in Washington too. People from rural counties that have, like, eight people and fifty cows in them complaining about being "ruled from Seattle."

I don't know what to tell you, bud! 52% of the state's population lives in the Seattle metro! That's democracy.

Any "extraordinarily brilliant person" would know his presidency is in free-fall after his disastrous decision to enter another endless war-of-choice in the Middle East & that on November 3rd accountability is coming for the most corrupt criminal Administration in U.S. History.

tick...tick...tick

“Purposely unintelligible and deceptive”

Yeah. Sounds just like Trump.

Bondi needs to be held accountable!

Law requiring ICE agents to show identification struck down by 9th Circuit. - Los Angeles Times 2.

This is another abomination; 9th Circuit Court of Appeals are in #45’s pocket! We The People need to do something; this is unacceptable! Renee Good & Pretti’s lives matter, let our voices be heard!

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

Pete Hegseth is blaming Joe Biden for military vaccine mandates.

The flu shot’s been required since 1945.

Joe Biden was 3 years old in 1945.

I know you have heard this for decades, but these upcoming midterm elections in November are truly the most important ones of anyone living in America on the right side of history...

Vote Blue Or We Are All Screwed!

While Trump & his ilk are fighting like hell to keep the price of fossil fuels stratospherically high to benefit his donors, China is kicking our asses in clean energy. We're losing our standing in the world.

Scratch that. We've lost our standing in the world.

We, as a country, have squandered our drive for innovation and replaced it with financial schemes and slavish devotion to dying technologies.

I mean, why build something when we can just buy a company, lard it up with debt, and take a golden parachute as the company dies?

BYD already destroys Tesla in every market they are allowed to compete. Higher quality at lower prices.
Tesla was left to stagnate for too long, now everyone is eating its lunch.

Then the US contrives to score the stupidest own goal by simultaneously making fossil fuels more expensive, and the supply of them more unreliable. Is your country Great Again yet, Drumpf?

Reading the FT front page story about a Chinese company introducing a battery with a 1500 km range & six minute recharging time & about how two Chinese companies own more than half of the global EV battery market & I am struck by the different realities the US and China occupy. We’ve lost the plot.

Indeed.. that's like asking a Republican to be honest and follow the rules..

This is just like toxic dumping in 3rd world countries where decision-makers just don’t care about the local population.

In this case it’s South Texas with a majority brown population.

So much for letting corporations self-regulate.

Indeed.. that's the way industry has always behaved. it was much worse in the 50s and 60s, I've seen lake Michigan in the 60s with dead fish floating in it you wouldn't believe the way it looked and smelled as opposed to what it is today
