With Jan. 6 case, the Supreme Court could take America down the dark road to dictatorship

is a way for them to consolidate power and push their agenda, they will take it. The fact that the Supreme Court is even considering the idea that a president could have absolute immunity is not only shocking but deeply concerning. This case, stemming from the events of January 6th, could set a dangerous precedent that could lead America down the dark road to dictatorship.

The idea that a sitting president could be immune from criminal activity while in office is absurd. If the Supreme Court rules in favor of this notion, it opens up a Pandora’s box of possibilities. As pointed out, if a president truly had absolute immunity, what would stop them from ordering the assassination of political opponents or even canceling elections to stay in power?… Continue reading

‘This is B.S.’: Maddow shreds ‘cravenness’ of Supreme Court delaying Trump trial

yacht, and a million to his wife, but Ginnie Thomas later participated in the January 6th insurrection. The conflict of interest is clear, yet he refuses to recuse himself from cases involving Trump. The cravenness and corruption within the Supreme Court are a stark reminder that justice is not blind, but rather tainted by political bias and personal interests.

The deliberate delay in hearing Trump’s case, the manipulation of the legal system to protect him, and the complicity of conservative justices in aiding his authoritarian aspirations are all symptoms of a broader decay in our democratic institutions. The erosion of the rule of law in favor of partisan agendas is a dangerous precedent that threatens the very foundation of our society.… Continue reading

The courts were never going to save America from Donald Trump – No one is coming to save US democracy, except for ourselves.

because someone else will come along with the same tactics and the same followers. We have to be vigilant and proactive in protecting our democracy, not just reactive.

The court system, with its history of siding with authoritarian policies and movements, cannot be relied upon to save America from threats to democracy like Donald Trump. The judiciary is not a strong enough institution to stand against those who seek to undermine the foundations of our society. We must recognize that the courts alone are not our saviors.

It is up to us, the citizens of this country, to protect and defend our democracy.… Continue reading

Liz Cheney Nukes the Supreme Court Over Trump Delay—and Hands Dems a Weapon

urgency for more balanced and ethical governance. We must continue this momentum and empower our leaders to make meaningful changes to protect our democracy.

The recent actions of the Supreme Court, particularly in delaying Trump’s cases, have laid bare the corruption and political agenda that taint the highest court in the land. The fact that Trump is seeking these delays to protect himself from prosecution if he regains the White House is alarming and should serve as a wake-up call for all Americans.

It is clear that the Supreme Court is playing a dangerous game by potentially enabling Trump to place himself above the law.… Continue reading

“I have no answer”: Experts say TrumpWorld’s “star witness” sank their case against Fani Willis

I have no answer. I find myself perplexed by the constant circus that seems to surround Trump and his loyal followers. The latest saga involving their “star witness” sinking their own case against Fani Willis leaves me shaking my head in disbelief. It is a spectacle of deception, delay, and distraction that seems to have no end in sight.

From what I gather, this whole charade was nothing but a desperate attempt to muddle the waters, sow doubt, and delay the inevitable. The lack of a solid case, the reliance on baseless accusations, and the blatant disregard for truth and justice are all too familiar tactics in the TrumpWorld playbook.… Continue reading

Trump’s Team ‘Literally Popping Champagne’ Over Supreme Court Taking Up Immunity Claim

It’s absolutely sickening to think about the celebrations happening in Trump’s team over the Supreme Court taking up his immunity claim. The blatant abuse of power and manipulation of the justice system is a clear indicator of the corruption that runs deep in this administration. The fact that they are rejoicing over a delay in consequences, rather than seeking truth and justice, speaks volumes about their priorities.

The Supreme Court’s decision to entertain this immunity claim is a dangerous precedent that could have far-reaching implications for the future of our democracy. Allowing a president to escape accountability for their actions while in office sets a dangerous precedent that could pave the way for authoritarian rule.… Continue reading

Cook County judge orders Donald Trump removed from Illinois primary ballot for his role in Jan. 6 riot at U.S. Capitol

As a concerned citizen, I couldn’t be more pleased with the recent ruling by a Cook County judge to remove Donald Trump from the Illinois primary ballot. This decision is not just about political maneuvering; it’s a statement of accountability and justice. Trump’s role in the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, was a blatant attack on democracy and the rule of law. It’s reassuring to see that there are still those in power who are willing to take a stand against such egregious behavior.

The fact that Trump’s name may not even be counted on the ballot is a significant step in the right direction.… Continue reading

‘Kremlin Leaks’: Files detail Putin’s €1 billion propaganda effort ahead of presidential vote

I can’t help but feel a sense of disbelief at the extent of Putin’s propaganda efforts ahead of the presidential vote. Spending a billion euros to win an election that is essentially rigged in his favor seems excessive. But then again, when you consider the atrocities he’s committed in Chechnya, Syria, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine, his desperation to maintain power becomes somewhat understandable.

The fact that he silences political dissidents like Navalny through imprisonment or death while manipulating the truth through lies and disinformation is a clear indicator of his immoral character. The audacity to portray himself as a legitimate leader while resorting to such underhanded tactics is truly disheartening.… Continue reading

Two candidates for mayor of a Mexican city are shot dead within hours of each other

The recent news of two mayoral candidates in Mexico being shot dead within hours of each other is a chilling reminder of the deep-rooted issue of cartel violence in the country. The fact that elected officials are being targeted and killed so brazenly raises serious concerns about the state of democracy and governance in Mexico. It is alarming to think that those who are meant to represent the people and lead their communities are being taken out in such a ruthless manner.

The rising influence of drug cartels in Mexico is not a new phenomenon, but it is certainly one that seems to be escalating with each passing year.… Continue reading

It’s a chilling realization to come to terms with the fact that our own elected representatives, the very people tasked with upholding the values of our nation, are being manipulated and used as pawns by a foreign power. The recent revelations by a former CIA Director shed light on the stark reality that Russia is actively targeting Republican lawmakers to sow discord and weaken the United States from within.
