America has a fundamental lack of understanding of what constitutes a 'socialist' or 'socialism'.

I don't think such events are breaking through with the public. The US is the global reserve currency on economic AND political grounds. Each chip away at that status spells doom for the US economy and its politico-military position in the world. Debt affords the US its military spending.

U.S. loses AAA credit rating due to rising debt, interest costs: Moody’s - National | Globalnews.ca
The rating agency changed its outlook on the U.S. to 'stable' from 'negative,' but said the government has 'failed to agree on measures to reverse the trend' of high deficits.

Has CNN lost its mind?! Why does this network seem to have a memory no longer than 5 minutes?! Good lord, "even-keeled negotiators"? Is there anything beyond their banal broadcasting, which keeps giving this grossly incompetent administration the benefit of the doubt. This is not journalism.

I think the outcome in Canada, with the Liberals winning and NDP holding a critical balance of seats, might be okay, for now. But too many Canadians voted for the empty shell of Conservative nonsense last night. One shining light--that fork-tongued creature, Pollievre, lost his parliamentary seat.

So, undoubtedly, it's true--the liberal state has proven a less-than-optimal vehicle for social justice. But it holds out one basic promise in two simple words: Due. Process. Lose that, and the rule of law that it accompanies, and you can kiss every other social justice project goodbye.

Seriously, what is wrong with these Democrats? What feeble, self-serving logic has to be in play with these four? Don't tell me these were 'votes of principle'. If they could just think outside their district and their Congressional position for one second! Sniff the wider political winds people...

Okay, not to toot my own horn (as he prepares to toot his own horn), but I said it a month ago about Treasury bonds...
Interest rates are the least of your worries. What happens when China and Europe start dumping US Treasury bonds, too? The US dollar is the anchor, because the world world allows to be. Trading partners do not call out your huge debt. The logical result of this tomfoolery is a run on the US dollar.

That SCOTUS is even taking this up for review does not bode well. They should have let the circuit ruling stand. It seems as if they are moving against lower courts to further enable administration immigration actions. How much of this is just Roberts trying to avoid a direct clash with Trump?
NEW: Justice Roberts has halted the lower court’s order to return Abrego Garcia today pending SCOTUS review. If SCOTUS allows the Govt to send people to foreign jails in violation of court orders and not return them bc they aren’t in U.S. custody, we’ll be on a path to lawlessness.
NEW: 4th Circuit says return Abrego Garcia to the U.S. by midnight bc the Govt has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the U.S. and remove him w/o due process. The Govt’s contention otherwise & its argument that fed courts are powerless to intervene are unconscionable.
