This is really troubling. So much damage has been done to this country just within 11 months of 47's presidency. How can we ever undo this?!?

Ossoff: "This is so much deeper than the politics. What does it say about the moral condition of this Congress that the thing that has them all tied up in knots is a very simple question: Should people's health insurance premiums go up double or triple? This is a policy choice."

Given the high suicide rates for veterans, cutting mental health and suicide prevention jobs at the Veterans Administration is UNCONSCIONABLE. The Trump administration is full of incompetent, hateful monsters.

It appears that the Climate Scientists blew it on their predictions. Several recent studies argue that the planet may have already warmed more than previously thought, which would mean the famous 1.5 degree threshold was breached years ago.

ICE use of Border Control agents is disgusting. Most of these agents are criminals with a badge, running free rein on innocent people. Just like the prison guards ICE has hired. They are thugs and losers.

Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed.
Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it.
When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The Supreme Court is on the brink of a decision to give even more unchecked power to the Executive Branch at the expense of the Legislative Branch. For nearly a century, Congress has been able to create independent agencies that enforce the law without fear of political retaliation.

Anyway, if you're surprised at all about the SCOTUS decision, remember
- Bush v Gore chose the president on such nakedly partisan grounds they put in the opinion that it couldn't be used as future precedent
- Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Alito & Barrett all served on W's election legal team

Is anyone else still deeply traumatized by January 6th? I just saw a brief re-enactment on The Morning Show and started shaking and crying. "Tourists." GD I am still so angry about it. Especially now that these J6 MFers have been pardoned and are now ICE terrorists.
