Indeed. Based on my understanding of the courts, almost impossible to remove some bias from SCOTUS judicial decisions given its purpose: to interpret the meaning and/or intention of a law. The big problem not bias necessarily but advocating a particular ideology as part of a judge's interpretation.
He got your attention though. He thrives on attention and roiling the waters from what I read. For example, he even loves to pit his WH staff against each other just for the sport. As for his real IQ, I'd say he's clever but not particularly smart or he wouldn't sabotage himself so often.
A clear sign of Trump's November direction to poison waters after any successful voter pushback. We're going to see a lot of this,, I imagine. As for his being "an extraordinarily brilliant person", a lure to grab the headlines IMO. What he actually is: a gifted propagandist.
ABC: I saw Trump explicitly say on video that “I would have won Vietnam very quickly” if he had been president during the war. Sound a lot like what he once said about Ukraine? As a Vietnam vet, I don't know whether to laugh at that comment or pity him. He is one sick puppy.
Virginia did it the right way. Took the question to the people and THEY fought back, in the voting booth. A minor point but IMO an important one.
Congrats, Virginia! I believe you approved your proposal to redistrict! IMO Democracy is winning, step by step, despite all the BS from DC. Minnesota, Virginia, No-Kings 3, Mamdani win, the polls, on and on. Hundreds of activists of all colors part of the movement. It's all coming together!
Every time Trump opens his mouth to spew fear-mongering threats and then backs off, he loses even more credibility here and globally IMO, He's actually a one-trick pony. He calls it the art if the deal. I call it painting oneself into a corner when his target calls his bluff.
Don't give up. We're going to win in the end. But it's going to get really messy for a while. These guys only got this far because they caught us all by surprise. That's not going to happen again, I can smell it.
Indeed. Homan seems to forget a key element of the New Testament versus the Old: the Second Covenant. We encounter there not a God of judgement but one of peace, love, and forgiveness. His Second Covenant with mankind.
In my twisted mind, I see a similarity between how Epstein gang is being protected by a circle of powerful colleagues and Thomas as well. Different situation but both employing delaying tactic in hopes that their problem goes away. As far as I know, issue of SCOTUS code of ethics disappeared.
What I can't fathom is why apparently no one has investigated the number of cases from which Thomas should have recused himself due to his wife's conservative activism and political access. It's difficult for me to believe that the two don't "talk shop" with potential impact on certain case votes.
AI today: Bible reading from the Oval Office is happening this week, but it is not a standalone “Bible study session.” It is part of a week‑long national event "America Reads the Bible." Trump is scheduled to read (pre-recorded) 2 Chronicles 7:11–22. (As expected, God threatens Solomon or ELSE.)
Yes, you're right. His talk is always testing the waters, to see if there's so little pushback on any issue that he can push farther. So it is with the coming 2026 election. He's already setting the stage to keep control of the House. But we are prepared this time, believe me.
Trump is capable of doing a good deed once in a while: new Exec Order to allow certain psychedelic drugs to treat veterans for PTSD. I suffer from it as do many wartime vets. And have followed this promising research from its start. A godsend if rapid FDA approval coming.
Haystack News: This is not a joke. Now suddenly, Trump will be "attending" a Bible Reading session in the oval office this week. As part of some fake national push "to get more Americans to read the Bible." One more sick effort to manipulate his MAGA base IMO, many who now see him for what he is
What troubles me is not just indications like this of insider trading. It's also the interest in crypto currency, which is the currency of choice of the Dark Web and criminals involved in money laundering. Particularly with regard to those who launder money via real estate.
Because he is a man without something most humans have: a sense of empathy and compassion.
This makes my morning. A good laugh. Brilliant.
The point of a Constitution is that even now we are a nation of laws with a working state and federal court system. Trump has lost a huge number of court cases, more than he has won. And like with Orban, democracy will prevail just not right away IMO.
Maybe Homan should sit down and let the New Testament educate HIM.
I figured BlueSky would be targeted eventually. Just a matter of time. The only question is who is doing it.
But Hitler had the advantage of a nation bitter from a major loss of a world war, super inflation, and a fairly homogenous population. And Hitler was smarter. But even HE was almost blown up by his own generals in opposition to his policies.
Re Congress required vote on the War Powers Act & Iran.
If I understand ChatGPT correctly, that's not 60 days from NOW. Iran action began 2/28/26. White House formally notified Congress on 3/2/26, which is when the 60‑day clock legally starts. "That puts the deadline at May 1, 2026." May Day!
Some good news, I think. Around 60 days from now, Trump's current legal permission for any "military action" in Iran will run out. At that time, by law Congress MUST vote to extend that permission. If they don't, all Trump's "war" MUST CEASE. If Trump ignores a "no", another reason to impeach IMO
Gosh, things must have changed a lot since I served. We always said that the Navy had the best chow. Ate at a Navy hospital in San Antonio, temporary duty. Ate like a king. Same thing happening with some base housing. A scandal hitting the news a few years ago.
Saw on News Stack yesterday that Mayor Mamdani is implementing a tax on NYC property valued at more than $5 million owned by the wealthy who have their permanent residence elsewhere. Money to create human services helping poor and middle class residents. Trump's Tower penthouse included. Trump livid
I saw damage done on the side of one of the tankers. That was no warning shot.
I'm attending No Kings's event, “Eyes on ICE: Train-the-Trainer - Immigrants' Rights” - sign up now to join me! www.mobilize.us/nokings/even...
Probably already posted here but here goes anyway.: Major news sources reporting that Iran has closed Hormuz again given Trump's continued blockade. & they have begun shooting at tankers. Well, this is no surprise. I can almost hear Netanyahu's joyful shouts that the cease-fires may be crumbling.
The first time cats lay eyes on an abandoned puppy. Watch their reaction.
