I'm sure everyone has started seeing the evangelicals and the GQP, former and present, starting to subtly toss tfg away. What everyone should also realize is that they aren't tossing him aside because he's a monster, the rape allegations, the antisemitic bs, the racism, the homophobia, the blatant lying about a pandemic and causing untold numbers of deaths, the stealing documents, the grifting, none of it. It's cause he's LOSING. It's cause they know they'll lose with him.
Big Business lobbying of Congress has been out of control since the 1970s, when a consumer-protections bill was defeated after a small number of paid-off Democrats defected.
Afterward, House Speaker "Tip" O'Neill (D-Mass) said βI have never seen such extensive lobbying.β
That was in the wake of the 1971 "Powell memo," a blueprint for corporate domination of American democracy, which prompted the corporatists to move to DC from NY.
The left needs to organize better. Infighting hasn't worked.

1) Destruction is counterproductive, it turns people off and makes climate activism appear to be an antisocial movement.
2) There is collateral damage to innocent people. (I'm not thinking of Picassos, but of blocking traffic and having patients in ambulances die in the traffic backup)
The University of California, Berkeley, School of Law on Thursday joined the law schools at Yale and Harvard in withdrawing from U.S. News & World Report's influential law school rankings.

#ClimateCrisis: #Flood-weary residents in #Australia's southeast were urged to remain on high alert for major #flooding.

What next, petrol on a Picasso? Threatening art is no answer to the #ClimateCrisis! Attacks on art have become a headline-hogging obsession with a hideous escalating logic. The nastier the treatment of a famous masterpiece, the bigger the media coverage.
