The Supreme Court decision on acceptance of gifts vs. bribery is yet another example of how the Court twists the plain meaning and intent of legislation to defend the indefensible--in this case, to justify the clearly immoral conduct of two of its most infamous members. How can anyone expect any American to have any respect for the rule of law or the courts when the Supreme Court refuses to do anything to rein in behaviour that should have led to the impeachment of both Thomas and Alito at least a decade ago. This horrendous ruling makes the argument for separation of the sane parts of the country from the insane ones that much more compelling. The moral standard shown in the ruling would embarrass most banana republics. No one who believes in the rule of law should have to live in a country where the chief arbiters of the law include men like Thomas, Alito, Kavanaugh, and Gorsuch, none of whom is fit to sit on any bench, let alone the nation's highest.
Suddenly I am only getting an audio version of the article. I prefer to read it. Was there a change? Can I get the content in written form, please? How?
Wisconsin may not see any economic value in the GOP convention! Ya, that is some good news. You have to be on the take to get the blessing of the ' Paid Off! ' supporting individual by the right wing with your participation in their economic money policies. As by your loyalty of groveling, bowing, and kissing the ring of Trumpian Power... And then by you giving the money all back to them...
I am embarrassed that some “prominent people” requested President Biden’s resignation. I am highly impressed with his accomplishments and proud that he leads America to a better standard of living, a safe and all-encompassing America.
I am frustrated with middle America and the people it sends to Congress, especially Republicans. I wholeheartedly agree that most of the middle class's standard of living has been stolen by millionaires; however, we cannot deny that it was made possible by middle-class members of Congress. That was a betrayal of the promise they made upon swearing in.
Furthermore, most middle-class people do not read but listen to pre-digested blurbs with no valuable content. These blurbs are only designed to ensure their political ignorance, leading to their eventual servitude.
Thank you for introducing the term "Gish Gallop" in reference to the debate. I don't think Trump was actually advised to use that technique, I think it comes naturally to him. Biden needed a fire extinguisher prop for the "pants on fire". Maybe an entire fire brigade. It's hard for me to believe that con-man occupied the White House for any length of time. [Locusts! ... I was the person handing you that cartoon and the picture of my Dad with JFK at Cape Canaveral in Missoula.]
I would like to read the Letters instead of listening. And, I like having text to save things sometimes. What do I need to do to receive the Letters in a readable text form?
Heather I am a paid subscriber, but it shows up as free. I’m not sure how to change that. I keep running into dead ends. If you could help that, I would appreciate it thanks.
