I’m reading a book about Hitler and the Habsburgs and this stood out to me:
“To him, immigrants were a cancer stealing his future and destroying Austria. Their (Habsburgs) social and economic success personally stung him. He came to believe that people of different races, cultures, languages, and religions threatened to marginalize Austria’s German population, making them a minority in their own homeland”
/Sounds exactly like the GOP and their dogwhistles about immigration and the border.
Speaking on behalf of the idealists in the room: -
AAAHHHHHGGGGGGG!!! 🤬😠 😲
The only backstop left to us is ensuring Trump does not win the election in November.
This will be no small task, given his continuing rule and law breaking.
History in the making.
I fear we are all watching the eradication of the fair rule of law in America.
By the time SCOTUS hands down the opinion, "law" will be applied based on who you are instead of what you do.

What a farce that SCOTUS is even hearing this.
The Constitution is a carefully constructed set of checks and balances. Except of course that the president has dictatorial powers beyond those checks and balances.
No

Dear Justice Alito:
You're arguing a president must make multiple difficult decisions.
Yes.
But we're talking about a man whose mind is not a functional organ.

I'm listening to the SCOTUS debate over Presidential immunity.
It's sickening to observe Justices taking a magnifying glass to our Constitution in a desperate attempt to find some esoteric, convoluted reason to lift Donald Trump above the law.
The current Supreme Court is broken. We need a plan to fix it. Read about it below.
I'm so depressed to think about the VERY large section of America that will not, and may never, see the immoral, sleazy nature of this man Trump as it is displayed in the ongoing trial.
If you get your news from FOX, and your social media is Truth.Social or maybe Facebook or X, you won't know the truth.
This NY trial needs to be televised.
Yeah? You know who else is losing credibility? It's Judge Merchan himself.
How does anyone take your orders seriously if you don't enforce them?
Good for them! 👏
More media outlets need to follow their example.

I was inspired by the recent solar eclipse to revisit this fascinating presentation about the origin and peculiarities of the moon.
Mankind is learning the moon is not what we think it is.

Talk about truth and professionalism in the news media: how about starting with this small matter.
Please stop referring to the witness as "Stormy Daniels". The woman's name is "Stephanie Gregory Clifford".
If you want to be a journalist and not a gossip entertainer, you can start there.
All week I've been privately saying I expect some appellate level court to step in at the last minute, or for him to do a SCOTUS petition and they issue an emergency stay, or some other crap to delay the trial.
The unfair, preferential treatment he's received in multiple venues so far is literally unbelievable.
But if we make it through the day it appears Trump will finally sit down at a criminal trial for some of his behavior.
At least I've lived long enough to see that. 😐
Wow! Watching John Bolton's interview by Nicole Wallace on MSNBC. If you didn't realize before how much of a misguided, ignorant, ass he is, you have not listened very closely.
Credit to MSNBC to let him air his views so we can all see the type of people who make up the modern Republican Party.
