I doubt he's a troll, Daniel . . . Many of us are feeling this way, MANY OF US. The actions you keep recommending must take a lot of money on private individuals' parts. I don't have money to pay for all that postage for postcards and letters. I'm glad that you do!!
I agree, Mehrdad. We face the same problems and inequalities today that we saw 50 years ago, only more so. By allowing Big Corp to finance only two parties, we're literally encouraging oligarchy, whether overt or covert. There's no reason that there can't be more than two parties. A leader who had to form a coalition government would have to listen to all factions and preside accordingly, I think. By limiting ourselves to fair-to-middling vs. blatantly evil, we eliminate the possibility of really good leadership. At this point, the Establishment Dems are in control of their party (not great), and the RWNJs control their party. We CAN do better.
Before the bashing begins, I'll make the obligatory, "Yes, Biden is better than tRump," statement. The point being that repeating the same process gives us the same results, but we shouldn't be forced to vote for only one of two candidates put forth by corporate-led party apparatuses.
Denise Donaldson ; I'm an independent , in my state I can be unenrolled, and not in either party. I support those who are not bought by corporate interests. This is hardly the time to talk about changing our party systems. it is interesting to think about. most Americans have not been taught about this concept and practice, and it would be interesting to look at. Certainly not now.
Laurie, unfortunately, I have to register for a party to vote in a primary.
I take your point about, "not now, " but when, then? I've been voting for 48 years, and every single election, the refrain has been, "Oh, we have to vote Dem, or else!" Meanwhile, we get the same ol', same ol' from the Dems, every time, and only incremental progress, at best, if we're lucky. The GOP has gotten worse, no question, but that's not the point. If we keep picking the Dem candidate out of desperation, we're never going to see a nominee like Sanders, for instance, because the Establishment Dems won't allow it; we've already seen that. If this country would work toward legitimizing multiple parties, more people would have a voice.
Laurie, it's been time to change our two-party system for a long, long while now! What a horrible situation we find ourselves in this very day for our terrible sin of procrastination!! Biden vs. the horrible rotten filth that is Trump! Is it any wonder so many Americans just don't give a shit anymore?? "Genocide Joe" and the most demented, sick, disgusting, lecherous, rapist, finally-convicted-of-a crime-after-50-years-of-committing-so-many piece of FILTH and ROT THUG -- THIS IS OUR CHOICE??
You're right, Peggy. Yesterday I saw a report that voter registration cards were being passed out to illegal aliens -- so your suggestion is already being implemented by your party. Bj
Guess you missed the part about the forms being given only to ELIGIBLE CITIZENS, not all.
"These allegations are false and baseless. DHS is legally required to include language around voter registration in shelter contracts and this guidance applies only to eligible clients who are citizens, and would clearly not apply to asylum seekers in shelter," the spokesperson said.
There it is: "house republican says". Nothing more need be said, outside of the MAGAts. will lie, cheat, and steal to get what they want - just like their idol.
You can’t register if your not here legally dolt - just passing out forms doesn’t mean you qualify - I get dozens of credit card apps in the mail/ I can’t apply for all of them.
Why did California’s on-line and DMV registration systems change 33,000 foreign-born voters’ birthplaces of record to “California” or “United States”, potentially masking non-citizens unlawfully registered to vote? Similarly, why were 76,000 birthplaces changed from another U.S. state to California? Click for a chart of birthplace changes.
Susan - You mean you're "not supposed to register" -- because there have been many reported instances of people illegally registering and voting. Best. Bj
And just where did you hear that, BJ (like giving those out do ya?)? Fox No-One-In-Their-Right-Mind-Would-Believe-A-Thing-We-Say Not-News or was it OAN, Newsmax or some other right wing propaganda site that has the credibility of a tick? I know it is because there has been no credible source that has said that. But, let's see. Show your proof. You know--evidence. That thing republicans always say they have but then the dog seems to have eaten when asked to cough it up.
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake. For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College. Rejoice, rejoice an absolute field day for all the fascists, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, plutocrat billionaires, corporatists, corporate media, evangelical preachers and six Supreme Court Justices all Backing a Moronic and now progressively Demented Fuhrer for the MAGA Masses Who Worship Him Like A God, Further Feeding Its Insatiable Sociopathic Narcissism!!!
Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters. You ain't going to be changing any preacher's or MAGA's minds about how unhinged DT is with any raft of articles cause that is the Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron's Lowest Common Denominator Appeal To The Wrap Yourself In MAGA Flag And $60 Bible Masses!
Fox News. No wonder. You do know they went to court to prove they lie all the time and anyone who believes them is completely nuts, right? That Fox News? Moron. Like I said in my previous post, you got it from a not-credible source. Do you know that journalism classes use Fox "News" as the model for what to never do as a journalist? That they break every single rule of journalistic ethics? Yeah, that's part of their whole lying schtick that they proved in court they did because they're just entertainment and not actual news. MAGAS are so gullible and naive. I'm surprised you manage to survive at all.
What flavor do you like your B.S.? Just let us know, because I'm sure we can make up mountains of it in whatever flavor you like. Of course consuming it all will kill you, but you're probably too addicted to it to cut back even a tiny bit.
LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Did I call it or did I call it? So far we've had an article from Fox News, who admits to lying about everything, and Newsmax, who just mimics what Fox says. All we need now is an OAN article and one from a conspiracy site and we'll have the, well not trifecta, but the limit of sources the cons will go to--all incredibly non-credible sources. I'll bet you love the taste of that warm, yellow, "koolaide" trump squirts into your sippy cup, don't you? If you're lucky, it's just urine. Knowing trump, though, it might be something a bit more disgusting. But then, you go by bj, so maybe you'd like it.
Politics is a dirty game. Even more be said for the MAGAt's, in spades. Up to and including raiding the Capitol to interrupt the certification of Biden's VALID victory. Go peddle your pap to your choir.
What can be said that isn't already floating through the air ways? There are two sides to this coin and the reverse is indistinguishable as anything being minted in this country. Lies seem to be the fuel that powers the engines of the MAGA community. Like moles that burrow beneath the surface of our society, they seek the darkness that Trump's lies provide. How do we pull our people from those subterrain tunnels and greet them with the warmth of the sun? That is our quest.
The elephant in the room is the genocide in Gaza. That is what many people see and know. Young people especially—the conscience of the nation as always in matters of war, both for (WW2) and against (Vietnam War, Palestine War,) —have been slapped away for years by the Dem establishment on this. They need to see the “warmth of our sun,” not limbless children writhing on the street and jubilation in Israel. This is on us to overcome the rot in our own party, which sadly is lead by Joe, AIPAC and cronies on this one. It’s that easy, but Joe and DNC seem hell bent on snatching defeat from jaws of victory. Rather than showing warmth to the youth cohort that carried Joe to victory last time, he’s FROZEN them out.
Seems like Robert Reich should have a plan for that, because it’s the fulcrum of this election ? Organizing to barrage Schumer, DNC reps and Congresspeople in each state with a “come to Jesus” talk with Biden about EVIL Far Right Gaza genocide? Like he toothlessly said he would do with Netanyahu?
Stopping blowing little kids and civilians to pieces seems to be a place to START to win this election?

Sean Sheeter ; Don't forget the time when , at the United Nations, DJT said that he was "the best President in U.S. history."! (paraphrased). The whole world represented there .... Laughed!
There are a number of talented, brilliant filmmakers out there. I think if one of them were to create a movie simulating life under Nazi rule, but using AI to replace Hitler’s henchmen with Trump and his henchmen showing what life would be like for Americans were these monsters to be allowed to take over our government. There would be people cowering in their homes and offices, just waiting for that inevitable call or visit from some ‘ government official. ‘ to arrest them for some minuscule offense to their leader, even something like posting a criticism of their leader on social media. In short, such a production would create the fear among the MAGAts and billionaires that even their professed loyalties and massive wealth would not protect them. Trump is the master of deception and lies while his devotees love nothing more than good entertainment that stokes their emotions. It’s time to fight fire with fire.
There is a wonderful documentary already out there called Active Measures (several years old, $2 on Amazon.) It does an excellent job of telling the background of what is happening to us. There's a chilling bit at the end about how Cambridge Analytica used big data mining and algorithms to shave the electoral results upwards in a few states to hand Trump his marginal "victory" in 2016, when he lost the popular vote by what, 3 million votes? Watch Active Measures https://www.amazon.com/Active-Measures-John-McCain/dp/B07H39Y8XK
I saw it, thank you. But heinous as it is, that is not what I had in mind. I was suggesting a film that simulates what life in America would be like under a Trump regime where lies become their own truth, while fear and paranoia dominate our thinking.
We will become a nation in which The common good and law become artifacts of history.
Of course, not. Yet. But Supreme Court Justice Alito‘s upside down flag would work just as well as a symbol of a new dictatorship. And no, I do not indulge in LSD; my creativity is just fine, thank you.
Like moles, they are blind when the light of truth shines on them. They're a hopeless lot that drink so much of the stuff trump squirts into their mouths they have no brain cells left to rub together for warmth much less thought.
I suppose you did not consider the Trump Russia collusion story or the assertion by 51 intelligence professionals that the Hunter laptop is probably Russian disinformation to be lies by the democrats!
There’s one moron named William Ferrer who claims that the Steele dossier has credibility. Even though it has been thoroughly debunked. It’s sad that people that dumb aren’t able to concede that they are spreading lies on behalf of a media that exists to spread propaganda.

There is another organization people should consider. It is the Sister District Project. It works by having groups in very Blue districts, such as in MA, coordinate fund raising and getting out the vote messaging for state legislators. The organization picks candidates who have a chance of winning and impacting the make-up of state legislatures. State legislatures control voting rights, voting districts, and often issues such as abortion, healthcare, education, childcare, and many others things that impact everyone's lives. It also can create bottom to top voting, while focusing on the top of the ticket often ignores the bottom. If you are in MA, NY, CA, or any other solidly Blue district, stearch for Sister District. We have been very successful and helping candidates win.

A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.

Even if some Republicans do get registered, there are many more democratic thinking unregistered voters who would vote Democratic if they could spare time from or get away from work. Many need transportation to the polls, and many need encouragement to vote. I repeat that yard signs make a difference. If they didn't, I wouldn't have had to risk paying huge fines a gone to court to defend my right to freedom of speech against our Village against the Village attorney without being able to afford a lawyer myself.

Still reading the Washington Post, Daniel? Stick to your tribal campaigning, less chance for embarrassment there. Read below and give yourself a big face palm for me.
“Menn’s crude distortions of The Grayzone’s reporting highlight the malicious agenda behind his sloppy smear piece, and raise serious questions about the competence of the Washington Post’s editorial staff.
On almost the same day the Washington Post published its attack on this outlet, the paper abruptly fired its editor-in-chief, Sally Buzbee, and implemented a desperate plan to prevent its complete dissolution. “We are losing large amounts of money,” Washington Post publisher Will Lewis lamented during a June 3 staff meeting. “Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”“
They have no comeback when reality smacks their propagandized mindset in the face.
I have no problem admitting I was on the wrong side of an issue, as I was with Russiagate, some aspects of Covid, early days of intervention in Syria, etc. The difference with so many of these liberal lemmings is they think they can’t admit they are wrong when faced with critique, or else the whole house of cards collapses.
I'm willing to bet you think Russia didn't interfere with our elections--they admitted to doing so and there is evidence of them doing so; that you originally thought Covid was an issue but, once the orange stain said it would "go away" in a couple of months, you decided it was a hoax, etc. You're right on one point, though--lazy and cowardly thought will get YOU in trouble.
I’ve been a far-Left person for a long time, but that stops LONG before I find myself in Putin’s pocket!! What the world these days calls “communist” countries are not at all on the Liberal Left — they are as fascist as any fascist country ever was. Russia? China? On the “LEFT”??
Don’t make me laugh.
They are authoritarian dictator states, like anything ever seen under the Third Reich or Pol Pot …
Somebody here has seriously scarfed the KoolAid, Daniel, and that person’s first name is “Tom.”
If we want a few more Putins in the world, we can just follow Mr. High.
If we want to maintain a modicum of our democracy and have a chance to make it stronger, let’s register Democrats and save the world.
Seems pretty obvious that you're trying to hijack the discussion and move it into a far right direction. Or are you just one of Russia's or China's bots flooding the internet?
Since when is dialogue construed as "hijacking the discussion"? It seems to me Tom High has raised some significant challenges to this thread that none of you lefties are able to meet. All you seem able to offer in response are non sequiturs and insults for replies. That's a fail!
Publisher, Will Lewis, is right. I used to be a WaPo subscriber but dropped it in favor of the Washington Times when I noticed that the WaPo was not covering stories that I was interested in.
I've put my money on Biden. And I'm sending all my Social Security money to various Democrat candidates around the US, also the ACLU and various pro-choice organizations. Since I still work, I have set aside my SS money "for an emergency." This is the emergency.
Yes, and, unfortunately, while Biden has done a remarkable job, he trails Trump by four points, while a "generic" Democrat beats Trump by 8 points. Thus, Biden, at best, would eek out an upset, which would guarantee a repeat of the last election, except that this time there would be nothing to prevent the Reds from pulling it off. However, if the Democratic Convention were MC'ed by an orator and showcased what the nation and the world face, today, the right Democrat would win in the landslide that we need to save Democracy. And that "right" Democrat is Al Gore, from whom the presidency truly was stolen- by a Supreme Court that we now know to be corrupt. What Mr. Reich says is correct- but he did not go far enough. We also need legislation to set up a new elected position to run the Judiciary Branch of Government-taken away from the executive branch- the Grand Foreman of the Juries- elected by all of the people of the United States, who would have the power to enforce ethics and reality check the Supreme Court, to send cases back for rehearing when opinions don't reality check- such as Citizens' United and. the Dred Scott decision
Even though I will support President Biden, if a different candidate were put in to replace him, I would also be behind Pete Buttigieg, Al Gore, Michelle Obama, Jamie Rasking, Al Gore, and yes, even Kamala Harris! I will support the blue so that we remain a Democracy!!
When Biden wins a second term, Buttigieg, Gore, Obama, Raskin, Harris, and many others will govern alongside him. in 2028, one of them will become president. Biden is who we have today. I accept that and don't waste time wishing things were different.
I like your thinking, Cyrano! President Biden does have my vote. If they did change things at the convention, my vote will be for the blue; however, I honestly feel President Biden will succeed with a second term.
When a poll calls, I don’t answer the phone. Most smart people don’t. Trump has a lot of uneducated people supporting him. They probably answer the phone or click on the surveys on the internet.
And rightly so. I am not as sharp as I once was and doubt anyone over 65 is as sharp as they were at 50, or 40….
We require pilots and others charged with safe execution of their duties to retire at an agreed upon age. (Hollywood and Tom Cruise’s ridiculous last turn as “Maverick” notwithstanding…)
WHT NOT UPPER AGE LIMITS FOR LEGISLATORS AND PRESIDENTS????
Granted, those who benefit from a paradigm, have no incentive to change it.
But McConnell has shown,on camera, that he has “episodes”,
And he can’t be alone. For the sake of our fragile democracy, enact and enforce old-age forced retirement.
Thank you, Tim. As you know, elders are revered in many cultures for their wisdom and experience. I feel that I understand much more about the world and life than I did when I was younger. It's a societal crime to throw all that away.
Don't forget that Trump is, what, 77 years of age, or was it 78? No denying that's old, even though "the paper of record", the NY Times, and the rest of major media have pegged Joe as the 'old guy' when Trump is showing signs of ill health and dementia.
He's obesely fat and out of shape, undoubtedly has high blood pressure if you catch any of his screaming rants, is totally paranoid, and is continually making odd errors when he speaks, early signs of dementia. So that's the Republican choice, a sick, demented, blob who doesn't know where he is half the time.
I'm old too, 😪 and I don't want to be in charge. My feeling is in his heart Biden would yield to another torch bearer if there was one. Where is the bench. Obama was a "candle in the wind." It is scarey that on the one hand MAGAts believe the anti-Biden propaganda, but if you ask "Do you really want a dictator?" They minimize.."oh he doesn't really mean that, he only says it to get Dems mad." I fear Trump is just the clown distracting us from something much bigger and much scarier. People age differently. I don't think there's a magic number. Anthony Fauci stepped away at 80 at the top of his game. It is painful to watch these frail, stooped popes trying to get up and down. Somehow with frailty McConnell seems to have recovered some decency. In any case I daily pray for DJTs ill health.
McConnell has now drunk the Trump kool-aid and can't stop bowing and scraping to his new god, Trump. It was only a brief and partial respite. McConnell has done a lot of damage over the years and is now worse than ever.
I think he fears for his life. He loathes the Orange Antichrist but like many other victims of the mobster blackmailer, he cowers before Mango Mussolini.
I agree. I'm still looking for that video I saw months ago, of three Trump staffers discussing the death threats they got if they failed to say what Trump wanted assiduously enough. I think Trump indirectly, through his posse of other convicted felons, threatens those around him, the regular GOP, and all others (like jurors and witnesses) with harm--financial, physical, familial, and life-threatening--unless they bow to his will. It's the only thing that explains moderate Republicans kowtowing suddenly, 100% of them, to his will. And it explains the rats abandoning a sinking ship exodus of moderate Republicans who quit Congress/retired over the last few months.
I can't take your suggestion seriously. An effective leader understands that time passes and younger supporters must be mentored and prepared to assume the highest offices. This is a difficult task for each one of us. The clock ticks for everyone. Setting an arbitrary age limit is simply wrong.
The "old" person is not a king. The "old" person works with capable younger people, knowing that the time will soon come to gracefully concede the powers and privileges of high office. Yes, this is an idealistic way of seeing things. It's my ideal.
Simon sayz that things are looking up. "It has been our core argument here for many months that as voters engaged, and came to understand the choice of Biden successful and good President vs. Trump the ugliest political thing we’ve ever seen, things would improve for us. It’s been my view that it was likely Trump’s thundering guilty verdict would move the election a bit towards Biden, but that it would take a while as voters needed time to process the news. So while most of the polling this first-week post-felony verdict continued to find a toss-up race with little movement, that we now have a series of polls showing Biden making gains is notable and encouraging.
"Murdoch’s team went into overdrive defending Trump this week. The intensity of their efforts suggests they are seeing this movement and erosion in their internal polling."
Daniel; my Congressman, LaHood, still hasn't answered my question whether he will certify the election when Biden wins. I realize that is why we need a landslide of Dem winners, but we have few Dem candidates here.
Same with three (3) here in Baghdad By the Sea. Our primary is in August, so we don't know who will oppose them. My theory is the more Democrats we register, the better off the down ballot candidates will be.
What percentage have pets? Does Lahood hate dogs, too? How can Lahood support stealing from kids with cancer?
Will Lisa Haderlein oppose him? If so, have her contact FT 6!
Agree. I think the Trump followers are scared. He's a convicted felon, he calls for revenge every day, he wants to end contraception in the U.S., and he pretty much speaks only gibberish now. I want to see prime-time TV carry full coverage of all his campaign speeches. I think that would go a long way toward convincing those wavering that his mental condition makes him unfit to have another term.
The legacy of the Clinton Years, and thus of Gore was the longest period of economic growth in history, when America was arguably at its greatest, and where the middle class faired well, and that led a trillion dollar SURPLUS that would have completely changed the dynamics of the American economy toward permanent abundance if American had only taken the direction advised in the Bible to save that trillion dollars from the seven years of plenty for the years of want to come, or to invest in the infrastructure that Trump promised, but Biden actually delivered. But the Really Big Money could not have a trillion dollar surplus, as then the U.S. Government would no longer be providing them with steady income from our debt.
And so, to preserve their unfair economic advantage they brought in George Bush II, who put us squarely back into deficits. Gore can now help to lead the way back to fiscal sanity.
Exactly. You are making the same point of my original post which is at the top of this chain (and was the second comment posted on the list at one point.
(Poling shows that Biden is four points under Trump, and a generic Democrat is 8 points above Trump.) The presidency was ACTUALLY stolen from AL Gore, by a Supreme Court that we now find to be corrupt, causing us to lose 8 years in the climate change battle- during which time it now appears we may have crossed the tipping point, where catastrophic change is now inevitable, potentially ending human civilization. The good and bad news is that this summer is going to be a scorcher beyond anything experienced by our species.
I wish we had polling for other Democrats so that we have a more solid basis to judge. Biden has had plenty of time to convince the electorate that he can wallop Traitor Trump through all the revelations, bad news & shocking rhetoric from the sadonarcissist, yet the best he can do through all that is a tie. I'm sure there are other Democrats who can do better. The unwillingness for Democrats to challenge the corporatist establishment that rules the Democratic Party is frustrating.

At a third press conference on 9-11 the above rap will be followed by reference to 35 pages of Antichrist Prophesies I discovered two days after the 2020 election! And GOD Set Up This Event 53 Ago in 1971 when an atheist named Kevin Coffey had Vision of 9-11-01, which became The FIFTH PROOF OF GOD on 3-23-24! Biden's known about the Antichrist since mid summer 2020 and about me at least late April, but I break this News to the Princeton Press religion and science editors tomorrow on 6-11-24!
Desperate times call for desperate measures. All over Europe the lights are going out, with a hard turn to the far right, except in the UK, where there is a solid chance of a left wing victory in 3 weeks. Dr. Reich's analogy to Pearl Harbor and WWII is even more appropriate given this global change.
Biden looked exceptionally weak and confused at the D-Day memorial. He has done his job well. The way to defeat Trump is not by pleading with a tone-deaf Congress, but rather by replacing Biden with a vigorous full-throated left wing populist like Bernie Sanders. There is no other candidate who can beat Trump.
Pay close attention to trump’s pick…neither of the two old men will likely fill their four year terms. As much as I really don’t want Biden we cannot afford to have a MAGA running the country. Take away the make up, hair dye or toupee and trump too looks old and feeble. The presidency ages all presidents, I suspect since trump preferred golfing as opposed to working he may not have aged as the others.

A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake. For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College.

I think that when people say Biden looks too old, what they really mean is feeble. Sanders is two years older than Biden, but he is vigorous. Nobody says he is too old. Biden simply has to be replaced. I disagree about Al Gore's suitability. He will be seen as part of the corrupt old Democratic establishment, and lumped with Hillary Clinton.
Joe always made gaffes. He always told stories that were more like tall tales. He always stuttered. It takes a lot of energy to control a stutter. Now he is over 80 and looks it. But what we need is someone with the experience to make the judgments needed to fulfill the promise of democracy. We used to value older people for their wisdom. Well, Joe has demonstrated that. He is cognitively fit and demonstrates that he is physically fit enough for the job. He chooses competent people to fulfill his mission. Why can't that be enough?
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him.

Michael, I do agree that in Europe there is a far right lean; however, I will still support President Biden. If they choose at the Democratic National Convention to go with a different candidate, I will support that candidate.
In re suggested mandatory retirement age.. Bernie is older than Joe or Trump. He's aging amazingly but sadly I don't think he could get elected...he says what he thinks.
Used to think you were right. Voted for Hillary. Now I watch her throw all her “I do everything for the women and children of the world ” schtick out the window re: Gaza. And Bernie of course retains his compass on the things that count and does it in a way within the system that’s authentic. That’s what people are hungering for, but Dems are too weak (and disconnected at DNC level) and completely lacking in confidence to provide consistent leadership? So there’s a vacuum that’s being filled by Trump?
Too late. Sanders is also "too old" and creeps like Miss Marjorie Taylor will attack him as an elderly "communist." Biden is ours now, for better or worse.
Lots of people care about what Miss Marjorie Taylor says because they share her personality traits. Or they recognize her personality traits and want to remove them from our government. Personally, I think the way David Hog dealt with her -- 4 years ago --when she pursued him for several blocks with her camera crew trying to provoke him into an angry reaction is the proper response. She has the style of an annoying bar fly. You don't fight with bar fly because that is exactly what they want you to do. Jasmine Crockett and AOC walked right into her trap last week.
Hahahaha! Bernie! He already took the shaft from Hillary - but look on the bright side - he got three houses out of it. Not bad for a Commie that never had an actual job!
Nor is it "lights out" every time your team doesn't win. The utter lack of respect for any of your fellow citizens who dare to think ir vote differently than this sycophantic tribe does
George Conway was the guest on The Daily Show, 6/6. He made a great point in his interview: Mock & Laugh at Trump, if you want to reach the Trump voters who are reachable!! "Don't get mad, Mock him! ... Laugh at him!" Provoke him into more craziness by laughing at him!
MAGA's want to "own" the Liberals/Lib-turds. They resent the "elites", the "nerds" who paid attention in school & went to college, rather than goofing off, "owning" them, making more money, getting loans forgiven, etc. Anger doesn't get them to change their votes

This is the result of condoning bad behavior. Trump and his gang of thugs are using every single weakness in our constitution and our institutions to destroy our democracy! The wheels of justice have the speed of a sundial and there is a two tiered justice system and everyone knows it! The Supreme Court’s refusal to make a decision on whether or not Trump had absolute immunity is absurd!
And it’s not like we don’t know that they’re doing it, but somehow that doesn’t seem to matter. The partisan hacks on the Court, led by Alito and Thomas, apparently have no integrity and no shame, and Roberts either can’t or doesn’t want to reign them in.
"Partisan hack" - Any judge who doesn't vote psycho-left or agree with me, one hundred percent of the time, regardless of the constitution. Right BAD! Left Good.
No, any judge of any political stripe who makes decisions that affect millions of people based on his religious or political beliefs, ignoring the Constitution and established law, is a partisan hack in my book. Left or right isn’t the deciding factor.
The wheels are in motion to take over the government by fiat. The extreme RW is in full motion. If Americans care about democracy they will show up at the voting polls enforce and put an end to the RW takeover. But I am fearful that Americans are too ignorant, fearful, and filled with resentment and hatred, which is the perfect fertile ground for a fascist dictator. Just think of the USA as a fascist country, once the oldest democracy formed to avoid kings/dictators by giving the people the right to choose their leaders. And now we have half the country willing to vote for a dictator. This could never happen without media that are devoid of honest news reporting. And a corrupt SC.
I just keep remembering that the last 7 elections have been won by the blue votes! Look at tRUMP's latest Rally in Nevada! No teleprompter! Riot! His onlookers in the stands were looking at each other critically! Some were walking out! then he said ;" it's OK ; go away! I don't care! All I want is your votes!" Biden lost no time using this in a campaign ad! Perfect!
Trump is evil. Say it to everyone. We must be deeply fearful now as millions of Americans see him differently, as a victim, as a great businessman, as a messiah. Robert, all your legal proposals are just what we need, but none of them will get through the Congress or a House under MAGA Mike Johnson. Today's Republicans don't want a fair election result; they just want a win, a return to power, and a transformation of the United States to a country that none of you reading this want to live in. It's time to scream HELP!
I think that’s how young people feel when they see limbless children writing in pain and jubilation in Israel. And know we are all complicit. This is the way Joe loses the election: not sure why the entire Dem party isn’t screaming their heads off about this? It’s so obvious what he had to do all along to win: don’t force Americans to fund genocide. Apparently that was asking too much?
Joe Bailey Cole ; Actually, what Robert Reich proposes is just that. Even if it does not pass, the idea is out there and the threat is illustrated/explained. some who are clueless will see what is at stake; what is planned by those who are lawless and evil.
My great concern is that even if all of Prof. Reich's good government bills were to become law, they'd be ignored by MAGA. Democrats will of course file lawsuits but MAGA-friendly judges will issue injunctions, preventing the laws from going into effect. And while the suits wend their leisurely way through a hostile-to-democracy judiciary system, MAGA will continue to run amok.
Finally, even if the laws are ultimately allowed to be valid exercise of legislative power, the damage will take generations to undo.
You clearly don’t know what Naziism is. Joe Biden is the best President you’ve ever had.. He isn’t the Liar-in-Chief his opponent was and still is. Biden has done more for your welfare, and in a bi-partisan way, than any other President since 1968. Wake up! Or are you a Russian operative?
Joe’s support of genocide in his actions is the fulcrum upon which this election rests. Dont shoot the messenger. Instead use every tool at your disposal to stop Joe from throwing this election away!!
Welcome Vladimir.....you found your voice. Except you wouldn't know a Nazi if one kicked you in the arse.... Tell us about the Russian Nazi party you created....
Amazing conclusion considering reality. You are confused and a problem for America. This not a difference of opinion, you are just lost. Good luck to you but, you would destroy America due to your lack of cognitive thinking.

It’s not a majority but we are a country w a significant number of low information voters aligned w corporate and wealthy individual interests who think tax breaks are more important than our democratic experiment. This time there won’t be a US coming to the rescue but rather a Russian oligarchy ( really a dictatorship) that will be running the show.
I agree Professor. We all must continue to work hard to defeat Trump at the Ballot box. I believe he will stop at nothing to try and sieze power this time around. Nothing.
The question has always been why the Democrats didn’t do all of this and more with urgency when they had the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress beginning on Biden’s Inauguration Day. Yes, the majority in the Senate was suspect, but it existed, and Schumer could have pushed to end the filibuster.
But they didn’t because of the nonsensical institutionalist belief that our system is designed to protect democracy and that it worked. No it isn’t and no it didn’t.
The intervention of a few Republicans who weren’t fully-committed at that time to the GOP’s neo-Confederate, insurrectionist totalitarian plan stopped it — not the system. The system, particularly the Electoral College and the non-proportionate Senate with its 3x longer terms and greater power (especially the power to confirm presidential nominations to high offices and the Federal Courts) is designed to favor less-populous, Whiter states — originally the enslavement-economy states that became the original Democratic Confederacy and now the “red” states of the new Republican Confederacy now intent on using those patriarchal, White supremacist remnants of the “original” herrenvolk Constitution ratified in 1789 to roll back the protections for equality demanded by the reconstructed post-Civil War Constitution and begun to be enforced during the quarter century of the Civil Rights Movement from 1954 to 1979.
On Inauguration Day 2021, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) was interviewed and said that the nation would see that the Democrats can use their time in power as effectively for good as the Republicans used their time in power for ill. But, in this crucial sense, a need for the “hardening of democracy” against the Republicans’ ongoing self-coup that was obvious from the near-miss of the 2020 and 2021 attempt to overthrow the duly-elected government, the Democrats fell back into insupportable institutionalist smugness about our system working and our democracy being impregnable.
Now, because of that inexcusable failure, it’s up to us to show up in overwhelming numbers and to vote for every Democrat running for every office at every level of government — numbers so overwhelming that, despite the Republicans’ voter suppression and election subversion efforts combined with the preference for patriarchal White supremacy built into our pre-reconstruction constitutional structures, the coup can be stopped a second time.
This time, no Republican will step up to help; this time, every Republican is committed to the coup. This time only we can stop them with our votes. And then maybe the Democrats will finally get off their asses to protect democracy, equality, and justice.
We are the Democrats you are looking for to protect democracy, equality and justice.
It is the people who did not join or support the Dem party in sufficient numbers to make changes they thought were necessary.
I get it. I think all the Dem Party had to do was nominate a white guy with some populist appeal to run away with this election. Water under the bridge.
We have to stop them with our votes, with our lawyers (in Missouri we have among others the MO Voter Protection Coalition), and other measures Reich talked about.
I am registering voters and will work to get the message out on 2 popular ballot initiatives as well as how Missouri Republican legislators have consistently sabotaged ballot initiatives in the past --so VOTE THEM OUT if you want reproductive rights and a minimum wage and paid leave.
I’m Unaffiliated and have been since I was originally registered Democratic from 1976 until 1990. I changed for two reasons: (1) to vote in the Republican primary in NC for the least fascist candidate, and (2) as a children’s rights advocate, I was fed up with the Democrats’ running on social and economic justice issues and then governing to appease the party’s White majority of center-right “moderates” who were the very model of the people Dr. King described in his 1963 Letter From Birmingham Jail, people content to deny justice by delaying justice interminably “to a more convenient season”. I stood up and demanded more from our local and state Democrats as a private advocate in the community, as a big-firm commercial lawyer, as a volunteer and non-profit leader, and as a school board member -- pushing from outside the party hierarchy.
But I always vote for the Democrat running for every office at every level of government on my ballot because it has been obvious to everybody paying attention since 1980 that the Republicans are neo-Confederates determined to restore the totalitarianism of Jim Crow. I also contribute to and campaign for Democratic candidates; I encourage people to register and to vote; and I assist others who need help getting to the polls.
But the bottom line is that the Democratic Party remains an institution of the unjust status quo order of power and wealth, as has been reflected by the self-defeating institutionalism of their leaders for the past 44 years — refusing not only to challenge the Republican extremism in the manipulation of the system by exerting the available counter-actions but also to capitulate to their abuses, as with Clinton’s actions on both “welfare as we know it” and criminal justice and as with Obama’s abject surrender to McConnell on the Garland nomination. And let’s not talk about Biden’s actions as a Senator to undermine Anita Hill and pave the way for Clarence Thomas to be confirmed and Biden's current genuflection to AIPAC by failing to push Netanyahu as hard as he can to end Israel's crimes against humanity in Gaza and the West Bank.
But, having said all that, the parties are far from “the same” so there is still no alternative but the Democrats to keep hope for justice under our reconstructed post-Civil War Constitution alive, so I will work for them and vote for them while holding their feet to the fire to do better.
So thanks for what you’re doing, but if what you’re doing isn’t challenging the Democrats to act for justice “in the fierce urgency of now”, to do all the things they could have done in the first two years of Biden’s term to “harden democracy” against the Republicans’ neo-Confederate totalitarian coup, then you’re just another institutionalist engaged in business as usual, trusting our untrustworthy systems to do the opposite of what 18th Century White men designed them to do when they brought forth upon this continent a self-colonized nation conceived in genocide and enslavement and dedicated to the proposition that only able, White, cishetero, Christian, English-speaking men of property were created equal and endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights.
And Democratic business as usual is not going to stop the next insurrection and the rise of patriarchal, White supremacist, Christian nationalist, oligarchic fascism — again.
Excellent post! You understand the vast difference between the parties but also the utter failure of the Democrats to do what's necessary at key moments in time to make substantial lasting progress in our society & save our nation from the fascism of the right..
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake. For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College. Rejoice, rejoice an absolute field day for all the fascists, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, plutocrat billionaires, corporatists, corporate media, evangelical preachers and six Supreme Court Justices all Backing a Moronic and now progressively Demented Fuhrer for the MAGA Masses Who Worship Him Like A God, Further Feeding Its Insatiable Sociopathic Narcissism!!!
Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters. You ain't going to be changing any preacher's or MAGA's minds about how unhinged DT is with any raft of articles cause that is the Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron's Lowest Common Denominator Appeal To The Wrap Yourself In MAGA Flag And $60 Bible Masses!
Biden should lean into his populism more. Boldness for the future, The 2 or3 popular things he will do if re-elected. Many voters don't know. Not sure I know. Protect democracy is not enough.

>>>>>>White supremacist remnants of the “original” herrenvolk Constitution ratified in 1789 to roll back the protections for equality demanded by the reconstructed post-Civil War Constitution and begun to be enforced during the quarter century of the Civil Rights Movement from 1954 to 1979<<<<<
Heather Cox Richardson (HCR) pointed out in her emailed newsletter this evening that Trump's plan--as described in deep-state shredding Project 2025--"It is no accident that those arguing for a return to a system without a strong administrative state are eager to impose their religion on the American majority, who have rejected their principles and policies. "
And quoting James Madison "The establishment of one religion over others attacked a fundamental human right—an unalienable right—of conscience. If lawmakers could destroy the right of freedom of conscience, they could destroy all other unalienable rights. Those in charge of government could throw representative government out the window and make themselves tyrants. " Which is exactly what trump wants to do, seems to me. trump and his plutocrat/oligarch and perhaps theocrat wannabee buddies...
Project 2025 writer and advocate Russell Vought "argues that the United States is in a “post constitutional moment” that “pays only lip service to the old Constitution” and calls for what Vought calls “Radical Constitutionalism” to destroy the power of the modern administrative state and instead elevate the president to supreme authority. " Trump would serve who? Putin? Whose 'god' is what I want to know. Or serve only himself seems more likely.
Seems to me revealing the possibility/probability of a so-far ~covert but real theocratic GOP agenda could gird voters to vote for pro-democracy President Joe Biden.
100% agree, Mark! Project 2025 alone is enough to raise the hairs on your arm!! America can never go back. We must, must, must move forward and become a nation of diversity, equality and inclusion of everyone. Vote Blue, America!!

Wow! That was excellent!! I clipped and saved it to use, I hope that is okay. Thank you, Sean! That's a real eye opener when those gaffes or as I like to call them, moments of stupidity are put together like that!
Agree. But what will shake people up? Republicans who detest tfg will vote for him because, Republican. And so so many of them never reap the ‘benefits’ of that party. In fact, their lives are made less.
Confederates argue that they support the Constitution "as originally written." We must ask them: as it was before 1865? 1965? We must demand specific answers.

Robert writes "Trump’s clear threats to our democracy should set off no fewer alarms" but what's not examined is who still BELIEVES in democracy (and capitalism... the two seem to be intertwined in American thought but they are two distinct things).
The people at the top definitely do not believe in Democracy and either want a Theocracy, Libertarian Oligarchy or fascist Autocracy.
The people at the bottom have lost faith in Democracy, and for good reason.
They've long ignored by both Capitalism, because if you don't consume you have to value, and by Democracy, because the governments duly elected under that system have ignored them since Reagan in order to pander to the needs of corporate lobbyists and the ultra-rich.
So, who are you left with? The rapidly shrinking middle-class, who do OK out of the current system and hence have a vested interest maintaining it, but who also now need two incomes and smaller families to maintain that comfortable lifestyle?
They also see that social mobility has stagnated, with fewer and fewer middle-class people breaking out into the ranks of the ultra-wealthy, and more and more of the ultra-wealthy obtaining their privilege via inheritance rather than any modicum of talent or ambition on their part.
The Youth vote?
They have been brilliantly wedged by the right-wing media on the issue of Palestine which, for all its horrors and injustices on both sides, is a side show compared to the future that Project 2025 and Agenda 47 hold for America.
The nearly 40K dead on both sides in Gaza will pail into insignificance on the deaths that will occur if 11 million undocumented immigrants are rounded up, detained into camp and then forcefully deported (to where? Shoved back over the border to Mexico, where they aren't citizens of, anyway?).
Likewise, if both abortion and contraception are banned, what will the impact be on the 65 million American woman of child-bearing age?
And if domestic concerns can't motivate the youth, the fact that nearly 500,000 people have died so far in the Russia-Ukrainian war should give them pause, since it's naive to think Putin's imperial ambitions would stop at the Ukraine should NATO be torn apart under an pro-Putin isolationist Trump government.
And all of this against a background of ruthless gerrymandering and voter suppression that means, even if you can vote, it won't be worth much, anyway.
So, I guess my key question is this - "do enough American voters still believe enough in Democracy to vote to preserve it?". I'm not sure that the answer is an automation "Yes" any more.
Yes, Stephen, your doubts are well founded. The last four years have been hard for most of us, especially the poor. The cost of living has risen dramatically, and it is imperative for Democrats to convince people that they can help.
They have been brilliantly wedged by the right-wing media on the issue of Palestine which, for all its horrors and injustices on both sides, is a side show compared to the future that Project 2025 and Agenda 47 hold for America.”
That’s one of the more callous, and hyperbolic declarations I have read lately.
The fact is, you don’t really know if any of your hysterical predictions will come to pass.
How much the youth vote will defect from Biden over Gaza? Mmmm, perhaps this is over-stated, but given the current situation Biden needs all the votes her can get.
Or the part that rounding up 10 million people, of all ages, and keeping them in interment camps, and then deporting them to who knows where by methods yet to be determined, would result in a death toll exceeding 50,000?
Well, let's look at some historical precedents.
110,000 Japanese and American citizens of Japanese descent were interned during WWII. 1,862 died. So, scale that up to 10,000,000 would give you > 100,000 deaths.
If you look at data from refugee camps, a review of mortality data from refugee camps in Thailand (1979-80), Somalia (1980-85), and Sudan (1984-85) you get deaths per 1000 per month ranging from between 14 to 34. Apply that to 10M people, and you would be talking about 14,000 to 34,000 deaths PER MONTH.
Yes, we'd hope that these are massive over-estimates because you'd start with a healthier population initially and the conditions would be better but (1) there is clear evidence that the conditions in current immigration detention centers are unsafe, unsanitary and they have inadequate nutrition and medical care (2) the US governments ability to mobilise and care for large numbers of people is clearly deficient (ref the Katrina response for 1M displaced people) and (3) this ignores the immediate deaths and injuries that would occur during the "round up" phase. ICE/CBP are not well-known for their restraint when making arrests.
BTW the mortality rate in US Prisons is around 300 per 100,000/year which would give 300 x 10 x 10 = 30,000/year for 10 Million detainees. Note that the entire US prison population is 2.5M and costs £182Bn/year...
I quoted the hyperbolic part. And the diminishment of the genocide in Gaza to advance your speculative horrors of what awaits should Trump win the election is repulsive, regardless of your intent.
Sudan? Somalia? Just stop. The only way anything comparable comes to pass in America is if liberals sit on their ass and allow it.
So, if or when a neo-fascist Trumpist regime gains power and implements the plans they've clearly laid out in Project 2025 and Agenda 47, it's the liberals fault?
Wow, doubleplusgood doublethink there!
As for Palestine / Gaza, you seem to be glossing over the part where I clearly said "all the horrors and injustices on both sides"?
Does it diminish the situation in Palestine / Gaza to say that the forced deportation of 10 million people by way of internment camps has the potential to dwarf the humanitarian crisis in Gaza?
Does it mean people can't provide humanitarian relief to Gaza whilst simultaneously exercising their democratic right to vote to protect democracy in America? People can do multiple things at once.
“Sudan? Somalia? Just stop. The only way anything comparable comes to pass in America is if liberals sit on their ass and allow it.”
How about Iraq Syria Libya Afghanistan Ukraine and soon enough Taiwan? American foreign policy has been an embarrassment. Both sides allow it while ignoring water in flint Michigan. You are utterly clueless Tom.
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake. For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College. Rejoice, rejoice an absolute field day for all the fascists, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, plutocrat billionaires, corporatists, corporate media, evangelical preachers and six Supreme Court Justices all Backing a Moronic and now progressively Demented Fuhrer for the MAGA Masses Who Worship Him Like A God, Further Feeding Its Insatiable Sociopathic Narcissism!!!
Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters. You ain't going to be changing any preacher's or MAGA's minds about how unhinged DT is with any raft of articles cause that is the Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron's Lowest Common Denominator Appeal To The Wrap Yourself In MAGA Flag And $60 Bible Masses!

>>>>>>>And if domestic concerns can't motivate the youth, the fact that nearly 500,000 people have died so far in the Russia-Ukrainian war should give them pause, since it's naive to think Putin's imperial ambitions would stop at the Ukraine should NATO be torn apart under an pro-Putin isolationist Trump government."<<<<<
HUH? WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I know that critical thinking and research have been criminalized in LaLaLand here are three documentaries which clearly show that Obama and Biden started the Ukraine cascade.
Trump could end the idea of democracy in the USA. Emboldened Putin and usher in 4 years (or more) of turmoil for the world and increase the chances of WW3. As a Brit please don't let this happen.
Climate change: the evangelicals say it's God's will; the Republicans are saying that it is a hoax; the average guy complains about high gas prices. In November people will vote on the concerns of the day. Grandchildren? God help them!
As climate change worsens the economic costs will go up for voters.
So what's going to happen? Putting this in binary terms- the public will come together as earth warriors or harden in tribal/nationalist mode with more denialism, more conspiracy beliefs. More insanity.
I am consistently amazed at how much trump projects his own criminal behaviour onto his political enemies. Adolf Hitler used an arson-initiated fire at the Reichstag as an excuse to gobble up all the law-making power for himself. Trump (as a person) is an unreliable truthteller and has no integrity, but I believe all his words about weaponizing the Justice Department for revenge on his enemies, of which he suffers no shortage. He has been humiliated, publicly, legally, and convincingly and likely faces more guilty verdicts in weightier matters, whenever the trials start. The constitution is silent on the issue of running the country from a jail cell.
I am amazed as well that his projections seem effective with his base. I don't think the originators of the Constitution could imagine our current problems and plenty of white men did not want the white minority rule changed, including democrats who did not vote for the ERA, which would have prevented some of the recent disasters. Further, Biden created the very dysfunction we see now, with many of his votes and projects in the Senate. It is said the 'ones who created the problems can not fix it'. I can only hope Biden continues to call on his 'inner FDR", for which he is paying a terrible price in the so called liberal newspapers, as their billionaires do not want to 'pay for US common good'.
The suggestions to strengthen our democracy that Reich makes in this piece are necessary. I hope the dems and old school who don't want to see their kids entrapped in an autocracy, will do this. Further, Reich's support of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is critical.
To imagine only voting in these gerrymandered voting grids will work is to hide our head in the sand.
No use waiting until after. Even guilty rats who evade rightful accountability for (alleged) crimes, using the election as an excuse, deserve a fair trial and a convicted felon now stands, like it or not, for election. There is very good reason to flee from Agent Orange in the voting booth.
A new DA inherited the file and investigations had already started so he went ahead. Other constitutional attorneys aren't as enthusiastic to jump on this train of persecution named, "Oh, pity me, I'm being railroaded." But in truth, this case matters less than the others, where evidence gathered from Republicans will be adduced.
How the GOP can get dominated by a paranoid narcissist is curious at least. But the problem is why it happened and whether it is all okay when Trump is defeated. I don't think so.
So, let us use this columns to talk about the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 and Russell Vought, The American Mind, etcetera. Let us talk about the power of big money in politics and media. Let us talk about the outdated electoral system, and tools to modernise it.
Trump is busy disqualifying himself. But if Biden wins, there still is quite a lot to worry about. And Bob, the question is: what and when should be done to adress these worries?
Prof. Reich, I have emailed R. Maddow Show, and commented in more than several posts that a rigorous examination of Project 2025 should be undertaken NOW. In at least one of my posts, I have asked if you would also step up to be one of these explicators. Why am I so keen on this endeavor? Because I don't think that most people, even progressives, truly understand what Project 2025 is proposing. When Biden talks about 'democracy' in the abstract, I think it flies right past most people, because a lack of education in critical thinking is/has been absent in their education. I venture to guess that most people could not explain the difference between democracy and authoritarianism -- and how Trump fits into one of these camps.
Your participation in Project 2025 discussion would be more than helpful to readers of your Stubstack, but Maddow would reach a larger audience of the clueless. Can you help in any way here?
Trump is the symptom, not the cause, not the disease. Trump wants to be King and would be pretty much happy with that should he live so long. But Trump is the Trojan Horse being used by all the people associated with NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) which is not so out in the open.....Trump is nothing else if not a good distractor. https://hartmannreport.com/p/america-is-under-assault-by-a-cancerous-ceb They are the true threat and as you do more digging you will find all sorts of Trump connections. Indeed the NAR is essentially a conspiracy the Vladimir could only dream of.
Tom van Doormaal ; I think Robert Reich just made an intelligent suggestion that would propose a remedy to this constitutional crisis and educate the public, even if it fails. Our system is so loaded with bombs against fairness and sanity, it may take a tragedy of enormous proportions to wake everyone up. So much has and is happening that is so obvious and the laws that were remedies have been removed from our Constitution by those in league with the perps, we are heading for the worst disaster imaginable. Everyone could see this guy coming! the founders had better ideas as to how to treat traitors!
Laurie, I agree with you. Point of Reich is: what can be done toe avert civil war in the month's ahead. Not much, is my fear, because of the polarisation and the stupidity in Congress. Reich does quite a lot to stimulate public debate, and he should be admired for that. But more should be done...
Tom van Doormaal ; Well said ; I agree. Robert Reich wants to stimulate public debate, and find peaceful ways to educate, which is reasonable. But we are in peril!
Yes ; it’s constitutional convention. Will go along way Towards a unified government representing people the human people and not the corporate people. Politicians on both sides of any issue are very comfortable with the current situation in constitution they are probably the most adverse to change…
We could change the way we elect presidents eliminate the electoral college guarantee, abortion, rights, voting rights,
And limit states rights to state issues…
The rewriting our constitutional rules would have to be truly Representive and include mandatory voting by everyone.
Corporations should, in fact be limited in their input through the process …
And who do you think will be selected as voting members with authority to ratify this new Constitution? And where will the $$ come from to support those delegates while they ponder?
Wouldn't this be a great opportunity for the Right (and their corporate sponsors) to erase anything they don't like in the current Constitution and replace it with one more to their advantage? Why do you presume the left will be better funded, better represented at this Convention?
Professor Reich: these are great suggestions but i really doubt that the congress will vote to pass even a single one of these acts into law. worse, i doubt the MSM (NYTimes, WaPo, etc.) will present any of these to the public in a fair and reasoned way, nor will they cover these acts as necessary for preserving our democracy.
as they say: "democracy dies under the leadership of william lewis".
So, the challenge becomes raising public awareness of the issues ahead of November. Prof Reich indicates that even the creation of such acts in Congress would alert everyone to the crisis that is forming even if - as you point out - there is great doubt that they would become law.
I just got back from the TX Democratic Convention. The message was clear: Register voters and get our Democrats to the polls to vote. No point in trying to convert MAGAs. They're lost. Get our Democrats to vote. The only issue is keeping tRump out of the White House. If we don't reelect Biden everything else is irrelevant. GOTV!!!
I'll admit to ignorance about US politics and the constitution, but wouldn't some of the measures you describe have prevented some of the actions the US govt took to enforce civil rights in the South? (I agree Trump is a menace and the electoral college is effectively gerrymandering....)
We must do everything we can to defeat Trump. He has no qualms about seeking revenge on those he sees as enemies.
@ Irish Mouse. At this point we still have the capacity to sweep. Millions of unregistered folk trend Democratic. Register Democrats and sweep.
https://www.fieldteam6.org/
Yes, absolutely!! Everyone needs to get these people registered to vote!!!
We need to reject this corrupt two-party system and always be content to [S]elect the lesser of two EVIL.
'People get the leaders they deserve'
Americans deserve better leaders
Troll.
Thank you.
And now go and look in the mirror to see if you see anything different than a MAGA type logic.
Mope
I doubt he's a troll, Daniel . . . Many of us are feeling this way, MANY OF US. The actions you keep recommending must take a lot of money on private individuals' parts. I don't have money to pay for all that postage for postcards and letters. I'm glad that you do!!
Divide and conquer. BYOP are FREE.
The default is Fascism.
I agree, Mehrdad. We face the same problems and inequalities today that we saw 50 years ago, only more so. By allowing Big Corp to finance only two parties, we're literally encouraging oligarchy, whether overt or covert. There's no reason that there can't be more than two parties. A leader who had to form a coalition government would have to listen to all factions and preside accordingly, I think. By limiting ourselves to fair-to-middling vs. blatantly evil, we eliminate the possibility of really good leadership. At this point, the Establishment Dems are in control of their party (not great), and the RWNJs control their party. We CAN do better.
Before the bashing begins, I'll make the obligatory, "Yes, Biden is better than tRump," statement. The point being that repeating the same process gives us the same results, but we shouldn't be forced to vote for only one of two candidates put forth by corporate-led party apparatuses.
Denise Donaldson ; I'm an independent , in my state I can be unenrolled, and not in either party. I support those who are not bought by corporate interests. This is hardly the time to talk about changing our party systems. it is interesting to think about. most Americans have not been taught about this concept and practice, and it would be interesting to look at. Certainly not now.
Laurie, unfortunately, I have to register for a party to vote in a primary.
I take your point about, "not now, " but when, then? I've been voting for 48 years, and every single election, the refrain has been, "Oh, we have to vote Dem, or else!" Meanwhile, we get the same ol', same ol' from the Dems, every time, and only incremental progress, at best, if we're lucky. The GOP has gotten worse, no question, but that's not the point. If we keep picking the Dem candidate out of desperation, we're never going to see a nominee like Sanders, for instance, because the Establishment Dems won't allow it; we've already seen that. If this country would work toward legitimizing multiple parties, more people would have a voice.
Laurie, it's been time to change our two-party system for a long, long while now! What a horrible situation we find ourselves in this very day for our terrible sin of procrastination!! Biden vs. the horrible rotten filth that is Trump! Is it any wonder so many Americans just don't give a shit anymore?? "Genocide Joe" and the most demented, sick, disgusting, lecherous, rapist, finally-convicted-of-a crime-after-50-years-of-committing-so-many piece of FILTH and ROT THUG -- THIS IS OUR CHOICE??
>>>>>Before the bashing begins, I'll make the obligatory, "Yes, Biden is better than tRump,<<<<<

Nope
Everyone who votes Democrat and wins by whatever means (corruption, fraud, etc.), get the exact “leaders they deserve”; everyone else suffers.

You're right, Peggy. Yesterday I saw a report that voter registration cards were being passed out to illegal aliens -- so your suggestion is already being implemented by your party. Bj

Guess you missed the part about the forms being given only to ELIGIBLE CITIZENS, not all.
"These allegations are false and baseless. DHS is legally required to include language around voter registration in shelter contracts and this guidance applies only to eligible clients who are citizens, and would clearly not apply to asylum seekers in shelter," the spokesperson said.
There it is: "house republican says". Nothing more need be said, outside of the MAGAts. will lie, cheat, and steal to get what they want - just like their idol.
You can’t register if your not here legally dolt - just passing out forms doesn’t mean you qualify - I get dozens of credit card apps in the mail/ I can’t apply for all of them.
Why did California’s on-line and DMV registration systems change 33,000 foreign-born voters’ birthplaces of record to “California” or “United States”, potentially masking non-citizens unlawfully registered to vote? Similarly, why were 76,000 birthplaces changed from another U.S. state to California? Click for a chart of birthplace changes.

No. She means you CAN'T register! They would deny it. Wow. You even give magas a bad name and that's really tough to do.
And just where did you hear that, BJ (like giving those out do ya?)? Fox No-One-In-Their-Right-Mind-Would-Believe-A-Thing-We-Say Not-News or was it OAN, Newsmax or some other right wing propaganda site that has the credibility of a tick? I know it is because there has been no credible source that has said that. But, let's see. Show your proof. You know--evidence. That thing republicans always say they have but then the dog seems to have eaten when asked to cough it up.

Fox News. No wonder. You do know they went to court to prove they lie all the time and anyone who believes them is completely nuts, right? That Fox News? Moron. Like I said in my previous post, you got it from a not-credible source. Do you know that journalism classes use Fox "News" as the model for what to never do as a journalist? That they break every single rule of journalistic ethics? Yeah, that's part of their whole lying schtick that they proved in court they did because they're just entertainment and not actual news. MAGAS are so gullible and naive. I'm surprised you manage to survive at all.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL!!! Did I call it or did I call it? So far we've had an article from Fox News, who admits to lying about everything, and Newsmax, who just mimics what Fox says. All we need now is an OAN article and one from a conspiracy site and we'll have the, well not trifecta, but the limit of sources the cons will go to--all incredibly non-credible sources. I'll bet you love the taste of that warm, yellow, "koolaide" trump squirts into your sippy cup, don't you? If you're lucky, it's just urine. Knowing trump, though, it might be something a bit more disgusting. But then, you go by bj, so maybe you'd like it.
Politics is a dirty game. Even more be said for the MAGAt's, in spades. Up to and including raiding the Capitol to interrupt the certification of Biden's VALID victory. Go peddle your pap to your choir.
You just repeat the orange turd mantra -
What can be said that isn't already floating through the air ways? There are two sides to this coin and the reverse is indistinguishable as anything being minted in this country. Lies seem to be the fuel that powers the engines of the MAGA community. Like moles that burrow beneath the surface of our society, they seek the darkness that Trump's lies provide. How do we pull our people from those subterrain tunnels and greet them with the warmth of the sun? That is our quest.
The elephant in the room is the genocide in Gaza. That is what many people see and know. Young people especially—the conscience of the nation as always in matters of war, both for (WW2) and against (Vietnam War, Palestine War,) —have been slapped away for years by the Dem establishment on this. They need to see the “warmth of our sun,” not limbless children writhing on the street and jubilation in Israel. This is on us to overcome the rot in our own party, which sadly is lead by Joe, AIPAC and cronies on this one. It’s that easy, but Joe and DNC seem hell bent on snatching defeat from jaws of victory. Rather than showing warmth to the youth cohort that carried Joe to victory last time, he’s FROZEN them out.
Seems like Robert Reich should have a plan for that, because it’s the fulcrum of this election ? Organizing to barrage Schumer, DNC reps and Congresspeople in each state with a “come to Jesus” talk with Biden about EVIL Far Right Gaza genocide? Like he toothlessly said he would do with Netanyahu?
Stopping blowing little kids and civilians to pieces seems to be a place to START to win this election?
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake. For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College. Rejoice, rejoice an absolute field day for all the fascists, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, plutocrat billionaires, corporatists, corporate media, evangelical preachers and six Supreme Court Justices all Backing a Moronic and now progressively Demented Fuhrer for the MAGA Masses Who Worship Him Like A God, Further Feeding Its Insatiable Sociopathic Narcissism!!!
Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters. You ain't going to be changing any preacher's or MAGA's minds about how unhinged DT is with any raft of articles cause that is the Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron's Lowest Common Denominator Appeal To The Wrap Yourself In MAGA Flag And $60 Bible Masses!
Sean Sheeter ; Don't forget the time when , at the United Nations, DJT said that he was "the best President in U.S. history."! (paraphrased). The whole world represented there .... Laughed!
Trolls everywhere!
There are a number of talented, brilliant filmmakers out there. I think if one of them were to create a movie simulating life under Nazi rule, but using AI to replace Hitler’s henchmen with Trump and his henchmen showing what life would be like for Americans were these monsters to be allowed to take over our government. There would be people cowering in their homes and offices, just waiting for that inevitable call or visit from some ‘ government official. ‘ to arrest them for some minuscule offense to their leader, even something like posting a criticism of their leader on social media. In short, such a production would create the fear among the MAGAts and billionaires that even their professed loyalties and massive wealth would not protect them. Trump is the master of deception and lies while his devotees love nothing more than good entertainment that stokes their emotions. It’s time to fight fire with fire.
There is a wonderful documentary already out there called Active Measures (several years old, $2 on Amazon.) It does an excellent job of telling the background of what is happening to us. There's a chilling bit at the end about how Cambridge Analytica used big data mining and algorithms to shave the electoral results upwards in a few states to hand Trump his marginal "victory" in 2016, when he lost the popular vote by what, 3 million votes? Watch Active Measures https://www.amazon.com/Active-Measures-John-McCain/dp/B07H39Y8XK
I saw it, thank you. But heinous as it is, that is not what I had in mind. I was suggesting a film that simulates what life in America would be like under a Trump regime where lies become their own truth, while fear and paranoia dominate our thinking.
We will become a nation in which The common good and law become artifacts of history.
HUH? WTF? Was the Swastika flying over the Whitehouse from 2016-2020? LSD much?
Of course, not. Yet. But Supreme Court Justice Alito‘s upside down flag would work just as well as a symbol of a new dictatorship. And no, I do not indulge in LSD; my creativity is just fine, thank you.
Like moles, they are blind when the light of truth shines on them. They're a hopeless lot that drink so much of the stuff trump squirts into their mouths they have no brain cells left to rub together for warmth much less thought.
I suppose you did not consider the Trump Russia collusion story or the assertion by 51 intelligence professionals that the Hunter laptop is probably Russian disinformation to be lies by the democrats!
There’s one moron named William Ferrer who claims that the Steele dossier has credibility. Even though it has been thoroughly debunked. It’s sad that people that dumb aren’t able to concede that they are spreading lies on behalf of a media that exists to spread propaganda.
A quest I can get behind!! Let them see light!!

If Biden would stop literally crapping his pants, that would be great. But he still supports genocide in Gaza
Thank you for your lyrical description of what drives MAGA. May I quote you?

There is another organization people should consider. It is the Sister District Project. It works by having groups in very Blue districts, such as in MA, coordinate fund raising and getting out the vote messaging for state legislators. The organization picks candidates who have a chance of winning and impacting the make-up of state legislatures. State legislatures control voting rights, voting districts, and often issues such as abortion, healthcare, education, childcare, and many others things that impact everyone's lives. It also can create bottom to top voting, while focusing on the top of the ticket often ignores the bottom. If you are in MA, NY, CA, or any other solidly Blue district, stearch for Sister District. We have been very successful and helping candidates win.

Even if some Republicans do get registered, there are many more democratic thinking unregistered voters who would vote Democratic if they could spare time from or get away from work. Many need transportation to the polls, and many need encouragement to vote. I repeat that yard signs make a difference. If they didn't, I wouldn't have had to risk paying huge fines a gone to court to defend my right to freedom of speech against our Village against the Village attorney without being able to afford a lawyer myself.

For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College. Rejoice, rejoice an absolute field day for all the fascists, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, plutocrat billionaires, corporatists, corporate media, evangelical preachers and six Supreme Court Justices all Backing a Moronic and now progressively Demented Fuhrer for the MAGA Masses Who Worship Him Like A God, Further Feeding Its Insatiable Sociopathic Narcissism!!!
Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters. You ain't going to be changing any preacher's or MAGA's minds about how unhinged DT is with any raft of articles cause that is the Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron's Lowest Common Denominator Appeal To The Wrap Yourself In MAGA Flag And $60 Bible Masses!
Still reading the Washington Post, Daniel? Stick to your tribal campaigning, less chance for embarrassment there. Read below and give yourself a big face palm for me.
https://thegrayzone.com/2024/06/06/washington-post-grayzone-editor-smear-piece/
“Menn’s crude distortions of The Grayzone’s reporting highlight the malicious agenda behind his sloppy smear piece, and raise serious questions about the competence of the Washington Post’s editorial staff.
On almost the same day the Washington Post published its attack on this outlet, the paper abruptly fired its editor-in-chief, Sally Buzbee, and implemented a desperate plan to prevent its complete dissolution. “We are losing large amounts of money,” Washington Post publisher Will Lewis lamented during a June 3 staff meeting. “Your audience has halved in recent years. People are not reading your stuff. I can’t sugarcoat it anymore.”“
Bots, trolls and a-holes.
So, no counter-argument, just invectives.
They have no comeback when reality smacks their propagandized mindset in the face.
I have no problem admitting I was on the wrong side of an issue, as I was with Russiagate, some aspects of Covid, early days of intervention in Syria, etc. The difference with so many of these liberal lemmings is they think they can’t admit they are wrong when faced with critique, or else the whole house of cards collapses.
Lazy and cowardly thinking… not a good look.
I'm willing to bet you think Russia didn't interfere with our elections--they admitted to doing so and there is evidence of them doing so; that you originally thought Covid was an issue but, once the orange stain said it would "go away" in a couple of months, you decided it was a hoax, etc. You're right on one point, though--lazy and cowardly thought will get YOU in trouble.
What is your purpose?
It's easier just to say MAGAs
Lazier. Fify.
Hurts to be shown to be a sucker for propaganda, don’t it?
By protesting too much, you shine the light on your derriere.
I’ve been a far-Left person for a long time, but that stops LONG before I find myself in Putin’s pocket!! What the world these days calls “communist” countries are not at all on the Liberal Left — they are as fascist as any fascist country ever was. Russia? China? On the “LEFT”??
Don’t make me laugh.
They are authoritarian dictator states, like anything ever seen under the Third Reich or Pol Pot …
Somebody here has seriously scarfed the KoolAid, Daniel, and that person’s first name is “Tom.”
If we want a few more Putins in the world, we can just follow Mr. High.
If we want to maintain a modicum of our democracy and have a chance to make it stronger, let’s register Democrats and save the world.
By continuing to deny reality, you prove you’re an empire simp.
Tom, Camp&Co have dead worms in their brains.
Seems pretty obvious that you're trying to hijack the discussion and move it into a far right direction. Or are you just one of Russia's or China's bots flooding the internet?
Seems pretty obvious you’re a fool. Or just a Democratic Party apparatchik?
Since when is dialogue construed as "hijacking the discussion"? It seems to me Tom High has raised some significant challenges to this thread that none of you lefties are able to meet. All you seem able to offer in response are non sequiturs and insults for replies. That's a fail!
Publisher, Will Lewis, is right. I used to be a WaPo subscriber but dropped it in favor of the Washington Times when I noticed that the WaPo was not covering stories that I was interested in.
Or spewing out the disinformational propaganda you prefer.
Jaime, just know that I hit the "like" button but it doesn't work. I don't know why.
I've put my money on Biden. And I'm sending all my Social Security money to various Democrat candidates around the US, also the ACLU and various pro-choice organizations. Since I still work, I have set aside my SS money "for an emergency." This is the emergency.
Yes, and, unfortunately, while Biden has done a remarkable job, he trails Trump by four points, while a "generic" Democrat beats Trump by 8 points. Thus, Biden, at best, would eek out an upset, which would guarantee a repeat of the last election, except that this time there would be nothing to prevent the Reds from pulling it off. However, if the Democratic Convention were MC'ed by an orator and showcased what the nation and the world face, today, the right Democrat would win in the landslide that we need to save Democracy. And that "right" Democrat is Al Gore, from whom the presidency truly was stolen- by a Supreme Court that we now know to be corrupt. What Mr. Reich says is correct- but he did not go far enough. We also need legislation to set up a new elected position to run the Judiciary Branch of Government-taken away from the executive branch- the Grand Foreman of the Juries- elected by all of the people of the United States, who would have the power to enforce ethics and reality check the Supreme Court, to send cases back for rehearing when opinions don't reality check- such as Citizens' United and. the Dred Scott decision
Even though I will support President Biden, if a different candidate were put in to replace him, I would also be behind Pete Buttigieg, Al Gore, Michelle Obama, Jamie Rasking, Al Gore, and yes, even Kamala Harris! I will support the blue so that we remain a Democracy!!
Me,too,Peggy.
When Biden wins a second term, Buttigieg, Gore, Obama, Raskin, Harris, and many others will govern alongside him. in 2028, one of them will become president. Biden is who we have today. I accept that and don't waste time wishing things were different.
I like your thinking, Cyrano! President Biden does have my vote. If they did change things at the convention, my vote will be for the blue; however, I honestly feel President Biden will succeed with a second term.
I like Sheldon Whitehouse
I like him, too. Also Elizabeth Warren, Jeff Merkley, Jamie Raskin & Gore. Cory Booker, too.
Joe Biden has accomplished a lot for this country. He is a smart man and I have great respect for him. 🇺🇸🫡
Yes, absolutely!
Seriously?
You don’t want a king, but you do want a Supreme Arbiter?
No thanks.
“We the People”, not I the supreme decider!
I think the commenter said an _elected_ arbiter.
Who said we want a “supreme arbiter.” I didn’t see any language referencing such a person.
Polls are trolls, mostly.
When you see something that contradicts your preconceived notions you immediately call it a troll. You are just so special.
When a poll calls, I don’t answer the phone. Most smart people don’t. Trump has a lot of uneducated people supporting him. They probably answer the phone or click on the surveys on the internet.
I’m a decade younger than Biden and LONG retired.
And rightly so. I am not as sharp as I once was and doubt anyone over 65 is as sharp as they were at 50, or 40….
We require pilots and others charged with safe execution of their duties to retire at an agreed upon age. (Hollywood and Tom Cruise’s ridiculous last turn as “Maverick” notwithstanding…)
WHT NOT UPPER AGE LIMITS FOR LEGISLATORS AND PRESIDENTS????
Granted, those who benefit from a paradigm, have no incentive to change it.
But McConnell has shown,on camera, that he has “episodes”,
And he can’t be alone. For the sake of our fragile democracy, enact and enforce old-age forced retirement.
I disagree. Everyone is different. I am 74 and as sharp as ever, if not more so. There is no place for ageism in our society.
Agree. Let the voters decide if someone is too "old" to serve, not some arbitrary age limit.
Thank you, Tim. As you know, elders are revered in many cultures for their wisdom and experience. I feel that I understand much more about the world and life than I did when I was younger. It's a societal crime to throw all that away.
Don't forget that Trump is, what, 77 years of age, or was it 78? No denying that's old, even though "the paper of record", the NY Times, and the rest of major media have pegged Joe as the 'old guy' when Trump is showing signs of ill health and dementia.
He's obesely fat and out of shape, undoubtedly has high blood pressure if you catch any of his screaming rants, is totally paranoid, and is continually making odd errors when he speaks, early signs of dementia. So that's the Republican choice, a sick, demented, blob who doesn't know where he is half the time.
Trump turning 78 on June 14. National celebration of his birthday, showcasing that number, please!
I'm old too, 😪 and I don't want to be in charge. My feeling is in his heart Biden would yield to another torch bearer if there was one. Where is the bench. Obama was a "candle in the wind." It is scarey that on the one hand MAGAts believe the anti-Biden propaganda, but if you ask "Do you really want a dictator?" They minimize.."oh he doesn't really mean that, he only says it to get Dems mad." I fear Trump is just the clown distracting us from something much bigger and much scarier. People age differently. I don't think there's a magic number. Anthony Fauci stepped away at 80 at the top of his game. It is painful to watch these frail, stooped popes trying to get up and down. Somehow with frailty McConnell seems to have recovered some decency. In any case I daily pray for DJTs ill health.
McConnell has now drunk the Trump kool-aid and can't stop bowing and scraping to his new god, Trump. It was only a brief and partial respite. McConnell has done a lot of damage over the years and is now worse than ever.
I think he fears for his life. He loathes the Orange Antichrist but like many other victims of the mobster blackmailer, he cowers before Mango Mussolini.
I agree. I'm still looking for that video I saw months ago, of three Trump staffers discussing the death threats they got if they failed to say what Trump wanted assiduously enough. I think Trump indirectly, through his posse of other convicted felons, threatens those around him, the regular GOP, and all others (like jurors and witnesses) with harm--financial, physical, familial, and life-threatening--unless they bow to his will. It's the only thing that explains moderate Republicans kowtowing suddenly, 100% of them, to his will. And it explains the rats abandoning a sinking ship exodus of moderate Republicans who quit Congress/retired over the last few months.
Why not upper age limits for legislators and presidents, Dude, it's because we don't all age at the same rate.
Well - it may be in our best interest to have an age limit - I’m 72 and think the stress of politics is too much for the older candidates
So should we have 20-somethings in charge? Is there automatic virtue in youth, just as you are saying there is automatic badness in age?
You are dealing with greed and sloth, which can only be controlled by term limits. Age isn't the issue, human nature is.
Wrong. Suppose a young person suffers from "greed and sloth." Do we simply wait until they "age out"? Of course not.
What has that statement got to do with term limits. The idea is to prevent settling in with power and becoming a trump or a Menendez.
Trumps has noticeable Alzheimer’s moments - he’s not better / he’s worse bc he has NO MORALS whatsoever
What "upper age limit" would you set, and what would be the basis for your choice?
70 really should be the cutoff
I can't take your suggestion seriously. An effective leader understands that time passes and younger supporters must be mentored and prepared to assume the highest offices. This is a difficult task for each one of us. The clock ticks for everyone. Setting an arbitrary age limit is simply wrong.
Elizabeth Warren is over that age limit & is sharp as a tack. Energetic, too. Bernie Sanders is over 80 & very sharp. Many other such examples.
The "old" person is not a king. The "old" person works with capable younger people, knowing that the time will soon come to gracefully concede the powers and privileges of high office. Yes, this is an idealistic way of seeing things. It's my ideal.
NOOOO! Gore will be seen as part of the corrupt Democratic establishment, and lumped together with HRC.
Both of you need an injection of Hopium.
Simon sayz that things are looking up. "It has been our core argument here for many months that as voters engaged, and came to understand the choice of Biden successful and good President vs. Trump the ugliest political thing we’ve ever seen, things would improve for us. It’s been my view that it was likely Trump’s thundering guilty verdict would move the election a bit towards Biden, but that it would take a while as voters needed time to process the news. So while most of the polling this first-week post-felony verdict continued to find a toss-up race with little movement, that we now have a series of polls showing Biden making gains is notable and encouraging.
"Murdoch’s team went into overdrive defending Trump this week. The intensity of their efforts suggests they are seeing this movement and erosion in their internal polling."
Daniel; my Congressman, LaHood, still hasn't answered my question whether he will certify the election when Biden wins. I realize that is why we need a landslide of Dem winners, but we have few Dem candidates here.
Same with three (3) here in Baghdad By the Sea. Our primary is in August, so we don't know who will oppose them. My theory is the more Democrats we register, the better off the down ballot candidates will be.
What percentage have pets? Does Lahood hate dogs, too? How can Lahood support stealing from kids with cancer?
Will Lisa Haderlein oppose him? If so, have her contact FT 6!
Mobilize women!
Agree. I think the Trump followers are scared. He's a convicted felon, he calls for revenge every day, he wants to end contraception in the U.S., and he pretty much speaks only gibberish now. I want to see prime-time TV carry full coverage of all his campaign speeches. I think that would go a long way toward convincing those wavering that his mental condition makes him unfit to have another term.
The legacy of the Clinton Years, and thus of Gore was the longest period of economic growth in history, when America was arguably at its greatest, and where the middle class faired well, and that led a trillion dollar SURPLUS that would have completely changed the dynamics of the American economy toward permanent abundance if American had only taken the direction advised in the Bible to save that trillion dollars from the seven years of plenty for the years of want to come, or to invest in the infrastructure that Trump promised, but Biden actually delivered. But the Really Big Money could not have a trillion dollar surplus, as then the U.S. Government would no longer be providing them with steady income from our debt.
And so, to preserve their unfair economic advantage they brought in George Bush II, who put us squarely back into deficits. Gore can now help to lead the way back to fiscal sanity.
Couldn't agree more. It is this corrupt two-party system that is the problem and always pits us against each other to [S]elect the lesser of two EVIL.
What are you suggesting ?
From what I have seen so far, Jill Stein will be my choice.
I am fully committed to hold all politicians that are up for re-election accountable for their performance and who they have stood for.
A guy with good ideas! I like it!
Az, thank you for this warning.
Exactly. You are making the same point of my original post which is at the top of this chain (and was the second comment posted on the list at one point.
(Poling shows that Biden is four points under Trump, and a generic Democrat is 8 points above Trump.) The presidency was ACTUALLY stolen from AL Gore, by a Supreme Court that we now find to be corrupt, causing us to lose 8 years in the climate change battle- during which time it now appears we may have crossed the tipping point, where catastrophic change is now inevitable, potentially ending human civilization. The good and bad news is that this summer is going to be a scorcher beyond anything experienced by our species.
Trump will not accept any win by Biden and this time he has his wretched henchmen setup in government to back him -
I wish we had polling for other Democrats so that we have a more solid basis to judge. Biden has had plenty of time to convince the electorate that he can wallop Traitor Trump through all the revelations, bad news & shocking rhetoric from the sadonarcissist, yet the best he can do through all that is a tie. I'm sure there are other Democrats who can do better. The unwillingness for Democrats to challenge the corporatist establishment that rules the Democratic Party is frustrating.
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake.

Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters.

At a third press conference on 9-11 the above rap will be followed by reference to 35 pages of Antichrist Prophesies I discovered two days after the 2020 election! And GOD Set Up This Event 53 Ago in 1971 when an atheist named Kevin Coffey had Vision of 9-11-01, which became The FIFTH PROOF OF GOD on 3-23-24! Biden's known about the Antichrist since mid summer 2020 and about me at least late April, but I break this News to the Princeton Press religion and science editors tomorrow on 6-11-24!
Desperate times call for desperate measures. All over Europe the lights are going out, with a hard turn to the far right, except in the UK, where there is a solid chance of a left wing victory in 3 weeks. Dr. Reich's analogy to Pearl Harbor and WWII is even more appropriate given this global change.
Biden looked exceptionally weak and confused at the D-Day memorial. He has done his job well. The way to defeat Trump is not by pleading with a tone-deaf Congress, but rather by replacing Biden with a vigorous full-throated left wing populist like Bernie Sanders. There is no other candidate who can beat Trump.
I love Joe, but he must go.
Pay close attention to trump’s pick…neither of the two old men will likely fill their four year terms. As much as I really don’t want Biden we cannot afford to have a MAGA running the country. Take away the make up, hair dye or toupee and trump too looks old and feeble. The presidency ages all presidents, I suspect since trump preferred golfing as opposed to working he may not have aged as the others.
It didn't really age him last term - he actually seemed to get younger!

Keep blabbering - you'll likely get lost in your thoughts and forget to vote!
I think that when people say Biden looks too old, what they really mean is feeble. Sanders is two years older than Biden, but he is vigorous. Nobody says he is too old. Biden simply has to be replaced. I disagree about Al Gore's suitability. He will be seen as part of the corrupt old Democratic establishment, and lumped with Hillary Clinton.
So you would have been aghast to see FDR lifted into a wheelchair daily ?
Sounds like you're more into style than substance.
No. I am genuinely worried about Biden. He is looking more and more confused. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GxuV7nmW7es
Please stop wasting time talking about age.
Accept the fact the candidates have been selected, almost a certainty, and help get voters registered and willing to cast their votes in November.
Joe always made gaffes. He always told stories that were more like tall tales. He always stuttered. It takes a lot of energy to control a stutter. Now he is over 80 and looks it. But what we need is someone with the experience to make the judgments needed to fulfill the promise of democracy. We used to value older people for their wisdom. Well, Joe has demonstrated that. He is cognitively fit and demonstrates that he is physically fit enough for the job. He chooses competent people to fulfill his mission. Why can't that be enough?
Sure you are. You didn’t watch his DDay speech did you? You didn’t watch him greet the veterans and help them sit and walk.
If you had, you’d see a great speech made by a great man.
Keep humming that tune ....its the one they're singing over at MAGA hdqs.....soon you'll be ready for the choir.

A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.

Michael, I do agree that in Europe there is a far right lean; however, I will still support President Biden. If they choose at the Democratic National Convention to go with a different candidate, I will support that candidate.
Agreed, but I still hope they choose someone else. This is getting ridiculous.

I love Bernie, but he’s not the answer either.
In re suggested mandatory retirement age.. Bernie is older than Joe or Trump. He's aging amazingly but sadly I don't think he could get elected...he says what he thinks.
Used to think you were right. Voted for Hillary. Now I watch her throw all her “I do everything for the women and children of the world ” schtick out the window re: Gaza. And Bernie of course retains his compass on the things that count and does it in a way within the system that’s authentic. That’s what people are hungering for, but Dems are too weak (and disconnected at DNC level) and completely lacking in confidence to provide consistent leadership? So there’s a vacuum that’s being filled by Trump?
Try again. If you really watched his speech and actions, you’d know he gave a speech for the ages.
He made me proud.
You really believe that? You're sounding a lot like Putin/Trump have you by the long ones.
Too late. Sanders is also "too old" and creeps like Miss Marjorie Taylor will attack him as an elderly "communist." Biden is ours now, for better or worse.
Who cares what MTG will say? Only a small portion of the American people regard her positively, & no Democrat could reach those people.
Lots of people care about what Miss Marjorie Taylor says because they share her personality traits. Or they recognize her personality traits and want to remove them from our government. Personally, I think the way David Hog dealt with her -- 4 years ago --when she pursued him for several blocks with her camera crew trying to provoke him into an angry reaction is the proper response. She has the style of an annoying bar fly. You don't fight with bar fly because that is exactly what they want you to do. Jasmine Crockett and AOC walked right into her trap last week.
https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/27/politics/marjorie-taylor-greene-david-hogg-video/index.html
Hahahaha! Bernie! He already took the shaft from Hillary - but look on the bright side - he got three houses out of it. Not bad for a Commie that never had an actual job!
It’s too late. The race horse has left the gate. There is no turning back. Biden is our candidate.
And why limit it to Bernie or just another Democrat which have proven to be in essence the same as the Republican with a lipstick.
We need to reject this corrupt two-party system if we are to rescue this drowning ship, called America.
It rhymes, but there is no time. You don't love Joe at all.
The unions are very strong in Europe - I’m sure they are mostly left leaning for more benefits and higher pay
and that's why Trump hates the EU and supported Brexit.
Nor is it "lights out" every time your team doesn't win. The utter lack of respect for any of your fellow citizens who dare to think ir vote differently than this sycophantic tribe does
is astounding.
Perhaps.
Interesting observations.
And brings up yet another point overlooked, or hidden from those who oppose Trump.
Bluster and offensive talk, but NO New Wars. And unleashed or military to get the ISIS job done and start getting home.
A stark contrast to those before and after him.
Trump has promised a bloodbath if he loses and retribution if he wins. Trump = violence in America win or lose.
George Conway was the guest on The Daily Show, 6/6. He made a great point in his interview: Mock & Laugh at Trump, if you want to reach the Trump voters who are reachable!! "Don't get mad, Mock him! ... Laugh at him!" Provoke him into more craziness by laughing at him!
MAGA's want to "own" the Liberals/Lib-turds. They resent the "elites", the "nerds" who paid attention in school & went to college, rather than goofing off, "owning" them, making more money, getting loans forgiven, etc. Anger doesn't get them to change their votes

That’s the part I look forward to
The Democratic nominee must convince voters that s/he has a plan to bring down the cost of living. Give people hope, and they will vote for you.
The Socialist Demon Rats , they can dish it out bur can't take it. They must be crushed like the treasonous seditious roaches they are.
Which is everyone who doesn't vote for him or who says anything about him that's not, "Sir, we love you and think you're our god."
>>>>treasonous seditious roaches<<<
those willing to steal elections
those willing to mandate the unnecessary poisonous clot shots
those willing to allow 15,000,000 unvetted illegals to waltz into the country
those willing to ban fossil fuels, coal and LPG
those willing to poke the Russian Bear in order to provoke a nuclear WW3
ad nauseam
justly so.
You love animals. Does that mean you love Trump?
Trump hates animals. An animal lover would not love an animal hater, so I suppose not.
Reich on "It's Not Too Late to Harden American Democracy..." Highly recommended. Give hope.

This is the result of condoning bad behavior. Trump and his gang of thugs are using every single weakness in our constitution and our institutions to destroy our democracy! The wheels of justice have the speed of a sundial and there is a two tiered justice system and everyone knows it! The Supreme Court’s refusal to make a decision on whether or not Trump had absolute immunity is absurd!
Keith ; and criminal! It's not like they don't know what they are doing!
And it’s not like we don’t know that they’re doing it, but somehow that doesn’t seem to matter. The partisan hacks on the Court, led by Alito and Thomas, apparently have no integrity and no shame, and Roberts either can’t or doesn’t want to reign them in.
Jody ; "Absolute power corrupts absolutely!"
And they think think they have absolute power, & it seems they do, since nobody seems willing or able to do anything about them.
"Partisan hack" - Any judge who doesn't vote psycho-left or agree with me, one hundred percent of the time, regardless of the constitution. Right BAD! Left Good.
Such deep thought in this group.
No, any judge of any political stripe who makes decisions that affect millions of people based on his religious or political beliefs, ignoring the Constitution and established law, is a partisan hack in my book. Left or right isn’t the deciding factor.
The wheels are in motion to take over the government by fiat. The extreme RW is in full motion. If Americans care about democracy they will show up at the voting polls enforce and put an end to the RW takeover. But I am fearful that Americans are too ignorant, fearful, and filled with resentment and hatred, which is the perfect fertile ground for a fascist dictator. Just think of the USA as a fascist country, once the oldest democracy formed to avoid kings/dictators by giving the people the right to choose their leaders. And now we have half the country willing to vote for a dictator. This could never happen without media that are devoid of honest news reporting. And a corrupt SC.
I just keep remembering that the last 7 elections have been won by the blue votes! Look at tRUMP's latest Rally in Nevada! No teleprompter! Riot! His onlookers in the stands were looking at each other critically! Some were walking out! then he said ;" it's OK ; go away! I don't care! All I want is your votes!" Biden lost no time using this in a campaign ad! Perfect!
Can you post a credible link to this event?
No, but I have seen the political ad made by The Biden team.
>>>>fascist dictator<<<<<
Talking about fascist dictator - our alleged president Joe BuyThem was selected and installed by the CIA
He is Ukraine poking the Russian Bear in order to start a Nuclear WW3
He has allowed 15,000,000 unvetted illegals into our country WITHOUT any Constitutional or stautory authority
he wants to UNILATERALLY bam fossil fuels, coal and LPG
How do LaLaLanders Define "fascist dictator
.
Well said, Keith!!
HUH? WTF !!! LSD much?
Trump is evil. Say it to everyone. We must be deeply fearful now as millions of Americans see him differently, as a victim, as a great businessman, as a messiah. Robert, all your legal proposals are just what we need, but none of them will get through the Congress or a House under MAGA Mike Johnson. Today's Republicans don't want a fair election result; they just want a win, a return to power, and a transformation of the United States to a country that none of you reading this want to live in. It's time to scream HELP!
I scream this inside and out every single day. No one seems concerned. I feel as though I’m in a nightmare in a coma.
I think that’s how young people feel when they see limbless children writing in pain and jubilation in Israel. And know we are all complicit. This is the way Joe loses the election: not sure why the entire Dem party isn’t screaming their heads off about this? It’s so obvious what he had to do all along to win: don’t force Americans to fund genocide. Apparently that was asking too much?
Joe Bailey Cole ; Actually, what Robert Reich proposes is just that. Even if it does not pass, the idea is out there and the threat is illustrated/explained. some who are clueless will see what is at stake; what is planned by those who are lawless and evil.
My great concern is that even if all of Prof. Reich's good government bills were to become law, they'd be ignored by MAGA. Democrats will of course file lawsuits but MAGA-friendly judges will issue injunctions, preventing the laws from going into effect. And while the suits wend their leisurely way through a hostile-to-democracy judiciary system, MAGA will continue to run amok.
Finally, even if the laws are ultimately allowed to be valid exercise of legislative power, the damage will take generations to undo.
Absolutely 💯 % Warren Brownell.Everything you said!
The real evil is Biden...
He acts like Nazism all over the world...
St Petersburg, is that you??
Yo obviously fell for the lies of a grifter. Open your eyes !
Trump is the grifter.
You clearly don’t know what Naziism is. Joe Biden is the best President you’ve ever had.. He isn’t the Liar-in-Chief his opponent was and still is. Biden has done more for your welfare, and in a bi-partisan way, than any other President since 1968. Wake up! Or are you a Russian operative?
Joe’s support of genocide in his actions is the fulcrum upon which this election rests. Dont shoot the messenger. Instead use every tool at your disposal to stop Joe from throwing this election away!!
Is a difference of opinion so shocking that the only logical conclusion is they are a Russian operative ?
Welcome Vladimir.....you found your voice. Except you wouldn't know a Nazi if one kicked you in the arse.... Tell us about the Russian Nazi party you created....
https://www.latrobe.edu.au/news/articles/2022/opinion/russias-long-history-of-neo-nazis
Amazing conclusion considering reality. You are confused and a problem for America. This not a difference of opinion, you are just lost. Good luck to you but, you would destroy America due to your lack of cognitive thinking.
@Panagioti Bziotopoulos: 🤬. MALARKEY.
Go talk to your friends, if you have any, which I doubt.

It’s not a majority but we are a country w a significant number of low information voters aligned w corporate and wealthy individual interests who think tax breaks are more important than our democratic experiment. This time there won’t be a US coming to the rescue but rather a Russian oligarchy ( really a dictatorship) that will be running the show.
I agree Professor. We all must continue to work hard to defeat Trump at the Ballot box. I believe he will stop at nothing to try and sieze power this time around. Nothing.
The question has always been why the Democrats didn’t do all of this and more with urgency when they had the White House and majorities in both houses of Congress beginning on Biden’s Inauguration Day. Yes, the majority in the Senate was suspect, but it existed, and Schumer could have pushed to end the filibuster.
But they didn’t because of the nonsensical institutionalist belief that our system is designed to protect democracy and that it worked. No it isn’t and no it didn’t.
The intervention of a few Republicans who weren’t fully-committed at that time to the GOP’s neo-Confederate, insurrectionist totalitarian plan stopped it — not the system. The system, particularly the Electoral College and the non-proportionate Senate with its 3x longer terms and greater power (especially the power to confirm presidential nominations to high offices and the Federal Courts) is designed to favor less-populous, Whiter states — originally the enslavement-economy states that became the original Democratic Confederacy and now the “red” states of the new Republican Confederacy now intent on using those patriarchal, White supremacist remnants of the “original” herrenvolk Constitution ratified in 1789 to roll back the protections for equality demanded by the reconstructed post-Civil War Constitution and begun to be enforced during the quarter century of the Civil Rights Movement from 1954 to 1979.
On Inauguration Day 2021, Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) was interviewed and said that the nation would see that the Democrats can use their time in power as effectively for good as the Republicans used their time in power for ill. But, in this crucial sense, a need for the “hardening of democracy” against the Republicans’ ongoing self-coup that was obvious from the near-miss of the 2020 and 2021 attempt to overthrow the duly-elected government, the Democrats fell back into insupportable institutionalist smugness about our system working and our democracy being impregnable.
Now, because of that inexcusable failure, it’s up to us to show up in overwhelming numbers and to vote for every Democrat running for every office at every level of government — numbers so overwhelming that, despite the Republicans’ voter suppression and election subversion efforts combined with the preference for patriarchal White supremacy built into our pre-reconstruction constitutional structures, the coup can be stopped a second time.
This time, no Republican will step up to help; this time, every Republican is committed to the coup. This time only we can stop them with our votes. And then maybe the Democrats will finally get off their asses to protect democracy, equality, and justice.
We are the Democrats you are looking for to protect democracy, equality and justice.
It is the people who did not join or support the Dem party in sufficient numbers to make changes they thought were necessary.
I get it. I think all the Dem Party had to do was nominate a white guy with some populist appeal to run away with this election. Water under the bridge.
We have to stop them with our votes, with our lawyers (in Missouri we have among others the MO Voter Protection Coalition), and other measures Reich talked about.
I am registering voters and will work to get the message out on 2 popular ballot initiatives as well as how Missouri Republican legislators have consistently sabotaged ballot initiatives in the past --so VOTE THEM OUT if you want reproductive rights and a minimum wage and paid leave.
I’m Unaffiliated and have been since I was originally registered Democratic from 1976 until 1990. I changed for two reasons: (1) to vote in the Republican primary in NC for the least fascist candidate, and (2) as a children’s rights advocate, I was fed up with the Democrats’ running on social and economic justice issues and then governing to appease the party’s White majority of center-right “moderates” who were the very model of the people Dr. King described in his 1963 Letter From Birmingham Jail, people content to deny justice by delaying justice interminably “to a more convenient season”. I stood up and demanded more from our local and state Democrats as a private advocate in the community, as a big-firm commercial lawyer, as a volunteer and non-profit leader, and as a school board member -- pushing from outside the party hierarchy.
But I always vote for the Democrat running for every office at every level of government on my ballot because it has been obvious to everybody paying attention since 1980 that the Republicans are neo-Confederates determined to restore the totalitarianism of Jim Crow. I also contribute to and campaign for Democratic candidates; I encourage people to register and to vote; and I assist others who need help getting to the polls.
But the bottom line is that the Democratic Party remains an institution of the unjust status quo order of power and wealth, as has been reflected by the self-defeating institutionalism of their leaders for the past 44 years — refusing not only to challenge the Republican extremism in the manipulation of the system by exerting the available counter-actions but also to capitulate to their abuses, as with Clinton’s actions on both “welfare as we know it” and criminal justice and as with Obama’s abject surrender to McConnell on the Garland nomination. And let’s not talk about Biden’s actions as a Senator to undermine Anita Hill and pave the way for Clarence Thomas to be confirmed and Biden's current genuflection to AIPAC by failing to push Netanyahu as hard as he can to end Israel's crimes against humanity in Gaza and the West Bank.
But, having said all that, the parties are far from “the same” so there is still no alternative but the Democrats to keep hope for justice under our reconstructed post-Civil War Constitution alive, so I will work for them and vote for them while holding their feet to the fire to do better.
So thanks for what you’re doing, but if what you’re doing isn’t challenging the Democrats to act for justice “in the fierce urgency of now”, to do all the things they could have done in the first two years of Biden’s term to “harden democracy” against the Republicans’ neo-Confederate totalitarian coup, then you’re just another institutionalist engaged in business as usual, trusting our untrustworthy systems to do the opposite of what 18th Century White men designed them to do when they brought forth upon this continent a self-colonized nation conceived in genocide and enslavement and dedicated to the proposition that only able, White, cishetero, Christian, English-speaking men of property were created equal and endowed by their Creator with inalienable rights.
And Democratic business as usual is not going to stop the next insurrection and the rise of patriarchal, White supremacist, Christian nationalist, oligarchic fascism — again.
Excellent post! You understand the vast difference between the parties but also the utter failure of the Democrats to do what's necessary at key moments in time to make substantial lasting progress in our society & save our nation from the fascism of the right..
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake. For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College. Rejoice, rejoice an absolute field day for all the fascists, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, plutocrat billionaires, corporatists, corporate media, evangelical preachers and six Supreme Court Justices all Backing a Moronic and now progressively Demented Fuhrer for the MAGA Masses Who Worship Him Like A God, Further Feeding Its Insatiable Sociopathic Narcissism!!!
Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters. You ain't going to be changing any preacher's or MAGA's minds about how unhinged DT is with any raft of articles cause that is the Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron's Lowest Common Denominator Appeal To The Wrap Yourself In MAGA Flag And $60 Bible Masses!
Clearly Trump is cuckoo.
Yes! It is imperative for Democrats to give people hope--convincingly.
Biden should lean into his populism more. Boldness for the future, The 2 or3 popular things he will do if re-elected. Many voters don't know. Not sure I know. Protect democracy is not enough.
Water under the bridge? Or memory holed. We seem to learn this lesson on a loop.

>>>>>>White supremacist remnants of the “original” herrenvolk Constitution ratified in 1789 to roll back the protections for equality demanded by the reconstructed post-Civil War Constitution and begun to be enforced during the quarter century of the Civil Rights Movement from 1954 to 1979<<<<<
HUH? WTF !!!! LSD Much?
Heather Cox Richardson (HCR) pointed out in her emailed newsletter this evening that Trump's plan--as described in deep-state shredding Project 2025--"It is no accident that those arguing for a return to a system without a strong administrative state are eager to impose their religion on the American majority, who have rejected their principles and policies. "
And quoting James Madison "The establishment of one religion over others attacked a fundamental human right—an unalienable right—of conscience. If lawmakers could destroy the right of freedom of conscience, they could destroy all other unalienable rights. Those in charge of government could throw representative government out the window and make themselves tyrants. " Which is exactly what trump wants to do, seems to me. trump and his plutocrat/oligarch and perhaps theocrat wannabee buddies...
Project 2025 writer and advocate Russell Vought "argues that the United States is in a “post constitutional moment” that “pays only lip service to the old Constitution” and calls for what Vought calls “Radical Constitutionalism” to destroy the power of the modern administrative state and instead elevate the president to supreme authority. " Trump would serve who? Putin? Whose 'god' is what I want to know. Or serve only himself seems more likely.
Seems to me revealing the possibility/probability of a so-far ~covert but real theocratic GOP agenda could gird voters to vote for pro-democracy President Joe Biden.
100% agree, Mark! Project 2025 alone is enough to raise the hairs on your arm!! America can never go back. We must, must, must move forward and become a nation of diversity, equality and inclusion of everyone. Vote Blue, America!!

Wow! That was excellent!! I clipped and saved it to use, I hope that is okay. Thank you, Sean! That's a real eye opener when those gaffes or as I like to call them, moments of stupidity are put together like that!
Agree. But what will shake people up? Republicans who detest tfg will vote for him because, Republican. And so so many of them never reap the ‘benefits’ of that party. In fact, their lives are made less.
Confederates argue that they support the Constitution "as originally written." We must ask them: as it was before 1865? 1965? We must demand specific answers.
Pure Unadulterated bullcrap

Robert writes "Trump’s clear threats to our democracy should set off no fewer alarms" but what's not examined is who still BELIEVES in democracy (and capitalism... the two seem to be intertwined in American thought but they are two distinct things).
The people at the top definitely do not believe in Democracy and either want a Theocracy, Libertarian Oligarchy or fascist Autocracy.
The people at the bottom have lost faith in Democracy, and for good reason.
They've long ignored by both Capitalism, because if you don't consume you have to value, and by Democracy, because the governments duly elected under that system have ignored them since Reagan in order to pander to the needs of corporate lobbyists and the ultra-rich.
So, who are you left with? The rapidly shrinking middle-class, who do OK out of the current system and hence have a vested interest maintaining it, but who also now need two incomes and smaller families to maintain that comfortable lifestyle?
They also see that social mobility has stagnated, with fewer and fewer middle-class people breaking out into the ranks of the ultra-wealthy, and more and more of the ultra-wealthy obtaining their privilege via inheritance rather than any modicum of talent or ambition on their part.
The Youth vote?
They have been brilliantly wedged by the right-wing media on the issue of Palestine which, for all its horrors and injustices on both sides, is a side show compared to the future that Project 2025 and Agenda 47 hold for America.
The nearly 40K dead on both sides in Gaza will pail into insignificance on the deaths that will occur if 11 million undocumented immigrants are rounded up, detained into camp and then forcefully deported (to where? Shoved back over the border to Mexico, where they aren't citizens of, anyway?).
Likewise, if both abortion and contraception are banned, what will the impact be on the 65 million American woman of child-bearing age?
And if domestic concerns can't motivate the youth, the fact that nearly 500,000 people have died so far in the Russia-Ukrainian war should give them pause, since it's naive to think Putin's imperial ambitions would stop at the Ukraine should NATO be torn apart under an pro-Putin isolationist Trump government.
And all of this against a background of ruthless gerrymandering and voter suppression that means, even if you can vote, it won't be worth much, anyway.
So, I guess my key question is this - "do enough American voters still believe enough in Democracy to vote to preserve it?". I'm not sure that the answer is an automation "Yes" any more.
Well said, Stephen. I couldn't agree with you more.
Yes, Stephen, your doubts are well founded. The last four years have been hard for most of us, especially the poor. The cost of living has risen dramatically, and it is imperative for Democrats to convince people that they can help.
“The Youth vote?
They have been brilliantly wedged by the right-wing media on the issue of Palestine which, for all its horrors and injustices on both sides, is a side show compared to the future that Project 2025 and Agenda 47 hold for America.”
That’s one of the more callous, and hyperbolic declarations I have read lately.
The fact is, you don’t really know if any of your hysterical predictions will come to pass.
Which is the hyperbolic part?
How much the youth vote will defect from Biden over Gaza? Mmmm, perhaps this is over-stated, but given the current situation Biden needs all the votes her can get.
Or the part that rounding up 10 million people, of all ages, and keeping them in interment camps, and then deporting them to who knows where by methods yet to be determined, would result in a death toll exceeding 50,000?
Well, let's look at some historical precedents.
110,000 Japanese and American citizens of Japanese descent were interned during WWII. 1,862 died. So, scale that up to 10,000,000 would give you > 100,000 deaths.
If you look at data from refugee camps, a review of mortality data from refugee camps in Thailand (1979-80), Somalia (1980-85), and Sudan (1984-85) you get deaths per 1000 per month ranging from between 14 to 34. Apply that to 10M people, and you would be talking about 14,000 to 34,000 deaths PER MONTH.
Yes, we'd hope that these are massive over-estimates because you'd start with a healthier population initially and the conditions would be better but (1) there is clear evidence that the conditions in current immigration detention centers are unsafe, unsanitary and they have inadequate nutrition and medical care (2) the US governments ability to mobilise and care for large numbers of people is clearly deficient (ref the Katrina response for 1M displaced people) and (3) this ignores the immediate deaths and injuries that would occur during the "round up" phase. ICE/CBP are not well-known for their restraint when making arrests.
BTW the mortality rate in US Prisons is around 300 per 100,000/year which would give 300 x 10 x 10 = 30,000/year for 10 Million detainees. Note that the entire US prison population is 2.5M and costs £182Bn/year...
So, not really that hyperbolic, no?
I quoted the hyperbolic part. And the diminishment of the genocide in Gaza to advance your speculative horrors of what awaits should Trump win the election is repulsive, regardless of your intent.
Sudan? Somalia? Just stop. The only way anything comparable comes to pass in America is if liberals sit on their ass and allow it.
So, if or when a neo-fascist Trumpist regime gains power and implements the plans they've clearly laid out in Project 2025 and Agenda 47, it's the liberals fault?
Wow, doubleplusgood doublethink there!
As for Palestine / Gaza, you seem to be glossing over the part where I clearly said "all the horrors and injustices on both sides"?
Does it diminish the situation in Palestine / Gaza to say that the forced deportation of 10 million people by way of internment camps has the potential to dwarf the humanitarian crisis in Gaza?
Does it mean people can't provide humanitarian relief to Gaza whilst simultaneously exercising their democratic right to vote to protect democracy in America? People can do multiple things at once.
Nice try. But your false framing, questions that aren’t questions, logical fallacies, and sophomoric inquiry add up to a big fail.
Do better.
Perhaps you, too, can, "do better" by offering an rebuttal argument with actual facts and data as opposed to virtue signalling or ad hominem attacks?
But I won't hold my breathe.

“Sudan? Somalia? Just stop. The only way anything comparable comes to pass in America is if liberals sit on their ass and allow it.”
How about Iraq Syria Libya Afghanistan Ukraine and soon enough Taiwan? American foreign policy has been an embarrassment. Both sides allow it while ignoring water in flint Michigan. You are utterly clueless Tom.
Indeed!
Hey Victor! Nice peanuts!
A Comparison of President Biden's Mental Competency with Donald Trump's
Recently the media focus has been on the 'age issue' and the question of the mental competency of an octogenarian during President Biden's second term. So let's compare his mental competency with Donald Trump's starting with his most recent gaffow followed by a list of what he said and his cabinet members said about him during his first term. (A short list of my faves:)
Did Biden call Nancy Pelosi Nicky Haley when recently talking about the 1-6-21 assault on the capital?
Did he claim the ability to properly identify a giraffe in a multiple choice of three animals, proved he was a "real stable genius"?
Did his former college professor call him the "dumbest f--king student I ever had"?
Did Biden suggest we could build a wall with transparent concrete?
Did he ever say to the camera he wished his wife were present with him while she was literally standing next to him looking confused?
Did his own sibling say in a recorded interview that he paid someone to take the SAT for him because he was too stupid to get into college on his own?
Did Biden think people needed photo IDs to buy groceries?
Did Biden say Paris was a city in Germany?
Did he misspell basic words in dozens of different tweets only to "correct" them by misspelling them a different way?
Did he suggest injecting disinfectants into our bloodstream to kill COVID?
Did he say he didn't know what a blind trust is, despite having a "degree" in Finance?
Did he bankrupt every business he tried starting on his own, including a Casino?
Was Biden the first President in history to utter the sentence, "Belgium is a beautiful city"?
Did Biden ever say our captured prisoners of war are only heroes because they were captured?
Did he have more than a dozen of his hand picked cabinet members resign because they couldn't work with his incompetence?
Did his own Chief of Staff call him an "idiot"?
Did a Senator from his own party say, "The White House has become an adult day care center”?
Did his own Secretary of State say he was a "fucking moron"?
Did his own economic advisor say he was "dumb as shit...an idiot surrounded by clowns"?
Did his National Security Advisor say he was "a dope...an idiot [with the intelligence of] a kindergartner”?
I saved the above collection of quotes that was originally posted on a Facebook page dedicated to insuring Joe Biden's second term last year. That was before that Republican special prosecutor in his VP document's case harped on the age issue and Joe's forgetfulness of details when the guy interviewed him. I was going to submit the above to the Daily Kos before reading the two following articles updating Trump's mental problems amidst the failure of a media focus on the orange moron at the president's expense while he's trying to run this country as the GOP is fixed on trying to tear it apart.
I just read your lead article titled The media will not report that Trump appears to have middle-stage dementia, cataloging his further mental decline. A couple of days later Facebook suggested I look at a new site dedicated to the politics and humor of Jon Stewart which just 'happened' to have posted the original interview in Salon titled "Like someone pulled the metaphorical plug": Dr. John Gartner on Trump's "accelerating dementia". This whole interview was fixated on the dementia issue without mentioning that Both his Parents had Alzheimer's/dementia, which I Learned when I posted A Comparison to every response.
Trump has obviously been both a low IQ moron and a fascist all his life, his first attorney was Roy Cohen Christ's sake. For here's precisely how he became the Perfect GOP Candidate: A supreme Narcissist who first builds Hotels with his last Name plastered all over the top of each with a Will To Power Fixation that drives him to become a TV Star where the whole game was to have the contestants kiss his ass to see who was His most 'competent' Apprentice, Firing all the Losers before finally picking the Winner, Like Me. Which sets him up to run for President, Wrapping Himself In MAGA Flag to Beat all those Loser Politicians in the Primary and Lock Her Up Hillary in the 2016 Electoral College. Rejoice, rejoice an absolute field day for all the fascists, white supremacists, Christian nationalists, plutocrat billionaires, corporatists, corporate media, evangelical preachers and six Supreme Court Justices all Backing a Moronic and now progressively Demented Fuhrer for the MAGA Masses Who Worship Him Like A God, Further Feeding Its Insatiable Sociopathic Narcissism!!!
Turns out I also hadn't read the whole issue with A.J. Pennyfarthing's 10 stunning moments from Trump's late-night speech to religious broadcasters. You ain't going to be changing any preacher's or MAGA's minds about how unhinged DT is with any raft of articles cause that is the Fascist Dementia Addled Supreme Narcissistic Moron's Lowest Common Denominator Appeal To The Wrap Yourself In MAGA Flag And $60 Bible Masses!

>>>>>>>And if domestic concerns can't motivate the youth, the fact that nearly 500,000 people have died so far in the Russia-Ukrainian war should give them pause, since it's naive to think Putin's imperial ambitions would stop at the Ukraine should NATO be torn apart under an pro-Putin isolationist Trump government."<<<<<
HUH? WTF !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Since I know that critical thinking and research have been criminalized in LaLaLand here are three documentaries which clearly show that Obama and Biden started the Ukraine cascade.

Wake the FK up
Trump could end the idea of democracy in the USA. Emboldened Putin and usher in 4 years (or more) of turmoil for the world and increase the chances of WW3. As a Brit please don't let this happen.
We're trying our best Mark!! Keep those prayers coming. ❤️🇺🇸💙
The fight against climate change can't afford one lost day. 4 lost years will bring disaster.
Climate change: the evangelicals say it's God's will; the Republicans are saying that it is a hoax; the average guy complains about high gas prices. In November people will vote on the concerns of the day. Grandchildren? God help them!
As climate change worsens the economic costs will go up for voters.
So what's going to happen? Putting this in binary terms- the public will come together as earth warriors or harden in tribal/nationalist mode with more denialism, more conspiracy beliefs. More insanity.
I am consistently amazed at how much trump projects his own criminal behaviour onto his political enemies. Adolf Hitler used an arson-initiated fire at the Reichstag as an excuse to gobble up all the law-making power for himself. Trump (as a person) is an unreliable truthteller and has no integrity, but I believe all his words about weaponizing the Justice Department for revenge on his enemies, of which he suffers no shortage. He has been humiliated, publicly, legally, and convincingly and likely faces more guilty verdicts in weightier matters, whenever the trials start. The constitution is silent on the issue of running the country from a jail cell.
I am amazed as well that his projections seem effective with his base. I don't think the originators of the Constitution could imagine our current problems and plenty of white men did not want the white minority rule changed, including democrats who did not vote for the ERA, which would have prevented some of the recent disasters. Further, Biden created the very dysfunction we see now, with many of his votes and projects in the Senate. It is said the 'ones who created the problems can not fix it'. I can only hope Biden continues to call on his 'inner FDR", for which he is paying a terrible price in the so called liberal newspapers, as their billionaires do not want to 'pay for US common good'.
The suggestions to strengthen our democracy that Reich makes in this piece are necessary. I hope the dems and old school who don't want to see their kids entrapped in an autocracy, will do this. Further, Reich's support of the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact is critical.
To imagine only voting in these gerrymandered voting grids will work is to hide our head in the sand.
I am consistently amazed at how the Socialists Demon Rats want to piss on our legs and call it rain.
Four "indictments" B4 the election , puhleeese
https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/A13usaonutL._CLa%7C2140%2C2000%7C91M0vqRZKGL.png%7C0%2C0%2C2140%2C2000%2B0.0%2C0.0%2C2140.0%2C2000.0_AC_SX679_.png
No use waiting until after. Even guilty rats who evade rightful accountability for (alleged) crimes, using the election as an excuse, deserve a fair trial and a convicted felon now stands, like it or not, for election. There is very good reason to flee from Agent Orange in the voting booth.
FIVE CONSTITUTIONAL ATTORNEYS SAY THAT HE WAS RAILROADED
https://www.lewrockwell.com/political-theatre/superb-analyses-of-trumps-ny-political-persecution-trial/
A new DA inherited the file and investigations had already started so he went ahead. Other constitutional attorneys aren't as enthusiastic to jump on this train of persecution named, "Oh, pity me, I'm being railroaded." But in truth, this case matters less than the others, where evidence gathered from Republicans will be adduced.
PURE UNADULTERATED BULLCRAP
Bragg REFUSED to indict Trump even though two of his assistant prosecutors resigned , ie, Carey Dunne and Mark Pomerantz,
https://www.politico.com/news/2022/02/23/prosecutors-trump-criminal-probe-resign-00011175
Trump was "indicted" AFTER Biden sent DOJ Officer Matthew Colangelo to instigate the FAKE INDICTMENT .
How the GOP can get dominated by a paranoid narcissist is curious at least. But the problem is why it happened and whether it is all okay when Trump is defeated. I don't think so.
So, let us use this columns to talk about the Heritage Foundation, Project 2025 and Russell Vought, The American Mind, etcetera. Let us talk about the power of big money in politics and media. Let us talk about the outdated electoral system, and tools to modernise it.
Trump is busy disqualifying himself. But if Biden wins, there still is quite a lot to worry about. And Bob, the question is: what and when should be done to adress these worries?
Prof. Reich, I have emailed R. Maddow Show, and commented in more than several posts that a rigorous examination of Project 2025 should be undertaken NOW. In at least one of my posts, I have asked if you would also step up to be one of these explicators. Why am I so keen on this endeavor? Because I don't think that most people, even progressives, truly understand what Project 2025 is proposing. When Biden talks about 'democracy' in the abstract, I think it flies right past most people, because a lack of education in critical thinking is/has been absent in their education. I venture to guess that most people could not explain the difference between democracy and authoritarianism -- and how Trump fits into one of these camps.
Your participation in Project 2025 discussion would be more than helpful to readers of your Stubstack, but Maddow would reach a larger audience of the clueless. Can you help in any way here?
Please don't ignore Trump's Project 47.
Trump is the symptom, not the cause, not the disease. Trump wants to be King and would be pretty much happy with that should he live so long. But Trump is the Trojan Horse being used by all the people associated with NAR (New Apostolic Reformation) which is not so out in the open.....Trump is nothing else if not a good distractor. https://hartmannreport.com/p/america-is-under-assault-by-a-cancerous-ceb They are the true threat and as you do more digging you will find all sorts of Trump connections. Indeed the NAR is essentially a conspiracy the Vladimir could only dream of.
Tom van Doormaal ; I think Robert Reich just made an intelligent suggestion that would propose a remedy to this constitutional crisis and educate the public, even if it fails. Our system is so loaded with bombs against fairness and sanity, it may take a tragedy of enormous proportions to wake everyone up. So much has and is happening that is so obvious and the laws that were remedies have been removed from our Constitution by those in league with the perps, we are heading for the worst disaster imaginable. Everyone could see this guy coming! the founders had better ideas as to how to treat traitors!
Laurie, I agree with you. Point of Reich is: what can be done toe avert civil war in the month's ahead. Not much, is my fear, because of the polarisation and the stupidity in Congress. Reich does quite a lot to stimulate public debate, and he should be admired for that. But more should be done...
Tom van Doormaal ; Well said ; I agree. Robert Reich wants to stimulate public debate, and find peaceful ways to educate, which is reasonable. But we are in peril!
Rewrite The Constitution of The United States and Eliminate The Electoral College …
Send Money to The Biden Campaign; Support the Removal of Election Deniers By the Ballot Box…
Act and Talk not Just Talk By act I mean vote and encourage your friends to vote
Trumpet 🎺 Pretty Stinky to a Lot Of Republicans who need to vote Against and His Chaos…
States Rights were imo designed to do anything but get support for the original US Constitution to be approved by all of the states…
The term states rights has been used as a cover for slavery and a host of other unfair despicable practices …
Sounds like you'd like to convene a Constitutional Convention.
Yes ; it’s constitutional convention. Will go along way Towards a unified government representing people the human people and not the corporate people. Politicians on both sides of any issue are very comfortable with the current situation in constitution they are probably the most adverse to change…
We could change the way we elect presidents eliminate the electoral college guarantee, abortion, rights, voting rights,
And limit states rights to state issues…
The rewriting our constitutional rules would have to be truly Representive and include mandatory voting by everyone.
Corporations should, in fact be limited in their input through the process …
Very unlikely but something to strive for.
And who do you think will be selected as voting members with authority to ratify this new Constitution? And where will the $$ come from to support those delegates while they ponder?
Wouldn't this be a great opportunity for the Right (and their corporate sponsors) to erase anything they don't like in the current Constitution and replace it with one more to their advantage? Why do you presume the left will be better funded, better represented at this Convention?
Republicans want a constitutional convention dominated by state legislatures, most of which are Republican.
Right. And the Electoral College will be a keeper.
Professor Reich: these are great suggestions but i really doubt that the congress will vote to pass even a single one of these acts into law. worse, i doubt the MSM (NYTimes, WaPo, etc.) will present any of these to the public in a fair and reasoned way, nor will they cover these acts as necessary for preserving our democracy.
as they say: "democracy dies under the leadership of william lewis".
So, the challenge becomes raising public awareness of the issues ahead of November. Prof Reich indicates that even the creation of such acts in Congress would alert everyone to the crisis that is forming even if - as you point out - there is great doubt that they would become law.
The poor UK. Such a pile to dig out from under. At least it looks like they'll soon get the opportunity
I just got back from the TX Democratic Convention. The message was clear: Register voters and get our Democrats to the polls to vote. No point in trying to convert MAGAs. They're lost. Get our Democrats to vote. The only issue is keeping tRump out of the White House. If we don't reelect Biden everything else is irrelevant. GOTV!!!
Give people hope and they will vote for you.
Ok, after reading all this my question is what are we waiting for???? 😳😳😳
“Speaker Johnson has an alarm that monitors potential erections, but supports a sociopath who incites insurrections.”
I'll admit to ignorance about US politics and the constitution, but wouldn't some of the measures you describe have prevented some of the actions the US govt took to enforce civil rights in the South? (I agree Trump is a menace and the electoral college is effectively gerrymandering....)
I thought of that. What if the Governor of a state approves of civil rights violations and and denied approval for the President to intervene?
