Supreme Court Impeachment Plan Released by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez

The Supreme Court Impeachment Plan recently released by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has stirred up a whirlwind of emotions and opinions. The foundations of our democracy are being shaken to their core, and it’s time for action. The Architect of the Capitol, the Clerk of the House, the Secretary of the Senate – it’s no secret that the Democrats will need a clean sweep to even begin to think about the possibility of impeaching Supreme Court Justices.

The founding fathers established the three branches of government to prevent a dictator from rising to power and destroying our representative democracy. But recent events have shown that this system is under threat.… Continue reading

The President Can Now Assassinate You, Officially

This ruling by the Supreme Court is absolutely terrifying. The fact that the President is now officially above the law and can essentially assassinate anyone under the guise of official acts is a blatant attack on democracy and the principles of checks and balances. The idea that an elected official can have you killed for any reason without consequences is a severe blow to our freedom of speech and democracy as a whole.

The implications of this ruling are staggering. The President, and by extension, the Vice President, can now act with impunity, without fear of any repercussions for their actions.… Continue reading

The Supreme Court Is a Joke. It’s Not Funny. | The justices accidentally, repeatedly referenced laughing gas in a disastrous ruling before declaring that judges know better than agency regulators

The Supreme Court, a once revered institution tasked with upholding justice and safeguarding our democracy, has devolved into a farce. The recent ruling that inadvertently referenced laughing gas as a basis for their decision is not only absurd but downright dangerous. How can we trust a group of individuals who seem more concerned with making a mockery of the legal system than actually serving the greater good of the American people?

It’s clear that the conservative majority on the Supreme Court is driven by their own ideological agenda rather than a commitment to upholding the law. The decision to prioritize judges’ interpretations over the expertise of agency regulators is a blatant power grab that puts the lives and well-being of American citizens at risk.… Continue reading

Lawrence: We live in a country where most commentators declared the liar the debate winner

The recent presidential debate left many of us feeling disappointed and disheartened. It was a chaotic mess filled with lies, deceit, and manipulation. As I reflect on the aftermath of the debate, one thing stands out to me – the fact that many commentators declared the liar as the winner. It’s a harsh reality to face, but it speaks volumes about the state of our country’s political discourse.

Throughout the debate, we saw one candidate spewing lies and nonsense with confidence and energy, while the other struggled to counter these falsehoods effectively. It was a battle of truth versus deception, and sadly, the liar seemed to come out on top in the eyes of many observers.… Continue reading

A Mind-Boggling Number of Voters Who Could Decide the Election Think Donald Trump—Yes, That Donald Trump—is Better for Democracy Than Biden

It’s truly mind-boggling to think about the number of voters who could potentially decide the upcoming election and believe that Donald Trump, yes, that Donald Trump, is better for democracy than Biden. The recent polls and conversations that have surfaced paint a concerning picture of the current state of our democracy. The fact that a significant portion of the electorate trusts Trump to handle threats to democracy more than Biden is alarming and raises serious questions about the impact of misinformation and propaganda on our society.

When delving into the reasons behind this perplexing phenomenon, it becomes apparent that propaganda and media manipulation have played a significant role in shaping people’s perceptions.… Continue reading

America Lost the First Biden-Trump Debate

America lost the first Biden-Trump debate. It was a train wreck from start to finish, leaving many viewers feeling demoralized and disheartened about the state of our nation. Both candidates showed their flaws in glaring ways, with Trump spewing lies and nonsensical statements while Biden struggled to maintain his composure and deliver coherent responses.

The Democratic Party should have prepared better for this moment, cultivating a strong backup candidate and ensuring that the next generation of leaders was ready to step into the spotlight. Instead, we were left with two elderly men, one of whom is showing clear signs of aging and the other who seems to be unraveling before our eyes.… Continue reading

We Just Witnessed the Biggest Supreme Court Power Grab Since 1803

Today, I woke up to the news that we just witnessed the biggest Supreme Court power grab since 1803. As an American citizen deeply invested in the fabric of our society, this revelation shook me to my core. The implications of this decision go far beyond a mere legal ruling – they strike at the heart of our nation’s democratic principles and the balance of power that upholds our system of governance. The Supreme Court, in overturning the Chevron deference, has essentially given itself unprecedented authority to dictate how laws are enforced, a power that rightfully belongs to Congress and the executive branch.… Continue reading

Bolivia Presidential Palace Stormed in Apparent Coup Attempt

I find myself immersed in a situation that seems almost surreal, yet is a stark reality in Bolivia. The attempted coup at the presidential palace is a disturbing reminder of the fragile political landscape in the country. With a history riddled with over 190 coups since its independence, Bolivia stands as a testament to the challenges of upholding democracy in the face of repeated turmoil.

As I contemplate the events unfolding in Bolivia, it becomes apparent that the attempted coup was swiftly quelled, with the President emerging as a resolute figure who directly confronted the leader of the coup. It is indeed a bold move, reflecting a strong stance in defense of democracy.… Continue reading

Trump trusted more than Biden on democracy among key swing-state voters

The idea that Trump is more trusted on democracy than Biden among key swing-state voters is absolutely mind-boggling. How can a man who attempted a self coup and is facing trial for espionage and insurrection be seen as a better option for upholding democracy than the current president? It’s a baffling concept that highlights the ignorance and gullibility of a significant portion of the American population. The fact that people actually believe Trump would accept the results of an election if he lost is laughable, especially considering his actions and rhetoric in the past.

The sad truth is that there are a lot of stupid and racist people in this country who continue to support Trump despite his blatant disregard for democratic norms and principles.… Continue reading

Trump vows to defund schools requiring vaccines for students if he’s reelected

I can’t believe the latest news about how Trump vows to defund schools requiring vaccines for students if he’s reelected. It’s absolutely mind-boggling to me that someone in a position of power would actively work against measures that are meant to protect the health and well-being of our children. Instead of prioritizing the safety of our schools and communities, it seems like Trump is more interested in pushing his own agenda, regardless of the consequences.

The idea of defunding schools that require vaccines is not just irresponsible, it’s dangerous. Vaccines have been proven time and time again to be an effective way to prevent the spread of diseases that can have serious and even deadly consequences.… Continue reading
