What the Hell Is Going on With the Supreme Court’s Trump Ruling?

What the hell is going on with the Supreme Court’s Trump ruling? The situation seems more convoluted and corrupt than ever before. It appears that the court is intentionally dragging its feet and delaying the decision to grant Trump immunity, all while trying to ensure that the ruling does not apply to Biden. The justices seem to be playing a dangerous game of political manipulation, trying to keep Trump in power and avoid any repercussions for his actions.

The whole scenario reeks of corruption and abuse of power. The Supreme Court, which is supposed to be the ultimate arbiter of justice, has turned into a tool for those in positions of extreme power to manipulate the legal system to their advantage.… Continue reading

Bernie shreds billionaires backing Trump: ‘They’d rather give up democracy than take a hit’

As I read about Bernie shredding billionaires backing Trump for their preference for an oligarchy over democracy, it struck a chord within me. The idea that these ultra-rich individuals would rather give up the principles of democracy just to safeguard their wealth and power is not only troubling but also a grim reminder of the dangerous path we are heading towards.

The fact that billionaires are so fixated on maintaining their riches that they are willing to sacrifice the very foundation of democracy speaks volumes about the toxic grip of greed and self-interest that has clouded their moral compass. They have become so entrenched in their wealth and power that they have lost touch with the realities faced by the average American.… Continue reading

Court that can remove Aileen Cannon “wants her out”: Legal analyst

The situation surrounding Aileen Cannon and the Mar-A-Lago case is truly concerning and a stark reminder of the challenges we face in upholding justice and democracy. The possibility of further delays in the case if she is removed is a valid concern, but the implications of leaving a biased judge in charge are far more troubling.

As a nation, we have witnessed the unprecedented damage done by the previous administration, where corruption was normalized, the rule of law was undermined, and the very fabric of our democracy was tested. The prospect of allowing a judge with clear biases to oversee such an important case is a dangerous path to go down.… Continue reading

Fox News is helping Trump plan another Jan. 6-style assault on democracy

Fox News has once again found itself at the center of controversy, this time for allegedly helping Trump plan another Jan. 6-style assault on democracy. The insidious cycle of lies that led to the events of January 6, 2021, is back in full swing. With only five months to go before the 2024 election, right-wing media outlets are already peddling the narrative that a Trump defeat can only be explained by fraud. Fox News personalities like Greg Gutfeld and Jesse Watters are actively priming their audiences to reject the legitimacy of any future election results that do not favor Trump.

The fear-mongering around potential election fraud has become a staple on Fox News, with hosts like Laura Ingraham stoking the flames of conspiracy theories and misinformation.… Continue reading

Shocker Poll: Trump Verdict Actually Does Matter to Voters—Big-Time

As I sit here absorbing the latest shocking news about the impact of the Trump verdict on voters, I can’t help but feel a mix of disbelief and relief. A felon candidate is bad news, right? It’s almost as if there was a deliberate effort to downplay the significance of this conviction, to sweep it under the rug in the hope that it would fade from memory quickly. But the truth is, this verdict matters—a lot.

The recent poll results revealing that 33% of Americans and 32% of independents are less likely to support Trump due to his conviction, while 17% are more likely to support him, should come as no surprise.… Continue reading

“Intentional”: Harvard legal scholar says SCOTUS “deliberately delayed” Trump immunity ruling

When I first heard about the intentional delay by SCOTUS in ruling on Trump’s immunity, I was not surprised. It seems like the perfect scheme to keep the former President shielded from accountability for as long as possible. The fact that a Harvard legal scholar had to point this out speaks volumes about the state of affairs in our country. It’s alarming to see how the highest court in the land can prioritize political motives over justice and rule of law.

The blatant attempt to manipulate the outcome of the case based on who is in power is a direct assault on democracy.… Continue reading

John Kerry warns that Project 2025 would be “absolutely unimaginable and destructive”

John Kerry’s recent warning about Project 2025 has sent shockwaves through the political sphere. The implications of this project, if enacted, are truly catastrophic. It’s not just a matter of political differences or policy disagreements; it’s a fundamental threat to our democracy and way of life. The sheer audacity and malevolence behind Project 2025 is truly terrifying.

This project, outlined in meticulous detail, is a roadmap to an authoritarian, fascist state with Christian nationalist undertones. The implications are clear – the erosion of civil liberties, the suppression of dissent, and the consolidation of power in the hands of the few. It’s a chilling reminder of how fragile our democracy truly is and how easily it can be subverted by those with nefarious intentions.… Continue reading

But his emails: Trump’s increasingly unhinged calls for violence

Trump’s increasingly unhinged calls for violence are not just alarming but truly dangerous. His pattern of threats and incitement to violence, from his infamous “DAY OF RECKONING” claims to more recent statements, showcase a disturbing lack of regard for the rule of law and democratic norms. The fact that a convicted felon, who has never shown an ounce of remorse, can openly threaten the President of the United States with little to no consequences is a clear sign of the broken system we are dealing with.

The normalization of Trump’s erratic behavior within his base is troubling. The fact that his supporters are willing to ignore his history of violence-inciting rhetoric and embrace his absurd claims is a testament to the cult-like following he has cultivated.… Continue reading

Trump Is Now Openly Threatening CEOs Who Don’t Support Him

Trump Is Now Openly Threatening CEOs Who Don’t Support Him

The audacity of Donald Trump never seems to amaze us. His latest antics involve openly threatening CEOs who dare not to support him in his quest for power. In his delusional mind, he equates the role of President to that of a CEO, failing to understand the fundamental differences between leading a country and a business. This misconception is not only laughable but also deeply concerning, as it demonstrates a complete lack of respect for the democratic principles that govern our nation.

CEOs are not psychopaths, as Trump seems to insinuate.… Continue reading

Roger Stone Caught on Tape Discussing Trump’s Plan to Challenge 2024 Election

Roger Stone, where do we even begin? The man who seems to personify everything wrong with politics today, caught on tape discussing Trump’s plan to challenge the 2024 election. It’s like we’re stuck in a never-ending loop of corruption and dirty tactics that threaten the very fabric of our democracy.
