    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Typical of modern republicans, though. Accuse the other side of what you, yourself are doing.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Oh, trust me, I know. I lived for decades in TN. There ARE states where it can make a difference. Places like Pennsylvania, Virginia, the southwestern states(excluding Utah) and possibly Georgia. Heck Texas might even be in that list. Might even be enough to keep the Court from eviscerating...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Given the supreme courts current actions, local and state elections are more important than ever. The only way to stem the tide is to retake state legislatures and governorships. They want to strip the people of their ability to choose electors and give it to the state legislatures, let's make...

    What stupid thing did the GOP say or do this time? Episode 3!

    Probably a lot. I tend to let people assume I'm a Christian Republican when I'm actually a left-leaning agnostic. Frigin' coping skill I learned while in school back in the late 80's to mid 90's

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    It's not over yet, but things are looking grim, especially if you live in a red state(Kinda glad I no longer live in Tennessee a this point).

    Or at least I hope we learned it. History and repeating and all that.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    If they rule on that and they rule in favor of letting state legislatures do whatever they want when it comes to elections, the US is over. Such a ruling WILL lead to violence and war. This court NEEDS to be stopped and now. They CAN pack the courts, the filibuster rule isn't set in stone...

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    I believe the term predates Trump It's simply a class of custom armored SUVs the secret service uses to carry the President and important foreign dignitaries. It's not an official name for the vehicle, more of a nickname. Kinda like the A-10 Thunderbolt Ii being referred to as the warthog.

    Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny

    I maintain to this day that if Crystal Skull didn't have the Indiana Jones name attached to it, it would have been regarded as a somewhat cheesy, but enjoyable adventure movie.

    Traitor Watch - The 45 & 47 Thread

    Yup, the storming of the Bastille was symbolic. The people overthrew of the monarchy. Sure, in a couple of year a fanatical wing took over the government and instituted the terror, within two decades, France was ruled by a dictator, but the symbol remains. I don't know enough of the history...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    I'm afraid you're right, or at least one where he realizes he's not up for the job and decides NOT to run in 2024.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    True. I'm simply afraid that AOC could be Hillary 2.0 given how Fox News and it's ilk have treated her since she appeared on the political scene(they've been after her since 2018, she's already one of Fox New's biggest boogeymen and shes ONLY in the House at this point). Granted Hillary's...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Wow, had to look it up, but AOC turns 35 less than one month before the 2024 elections. She could potentially run. Sanders is 80 NOW. He'll be 82 for the next presidential election. I'm not sure he'd be able to run even if he wants to. Problem is even if AOC runs, i'm not sure if she could...

    Yup, remember the French Revolution was immediately followed by the Reign of Terror.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Not the federal executive branch, STATE governments, which might be even worse, given that the governors of certain states are borderline fascist. There's no federal abortion ban after all(at least not YET). Question is would medical records from state A that supports abortion rights have to...

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    As much as I would have preferred Kevin, I understand why they had to go with J Elvis. Still it was a nice throwback and I'm kinda wondering if he will still have his 'MIGHTY VOICE' at the beginning of Emily's next episode. As far as the movie goes, it reminds me of something that could have...

    The MST3K thread by Gizmonics

    Either wasn't a professional grade camera or a very inexperienced cinematographer, possibly both. Not often the cgi effects were better than the actual footage.

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    Local/state has always been more important than the national elections. It's the state legislators that set district maps, after all. My current state legislature is pretty solidly blue and hopefully, with Hogan unable to run for another term, so will the governorship.(granted, Hogan isn't...

    The US Supreme Court and its decisions

    The ONLY hope is that this can convince enough people to vote dem this November to allow us to keep and possibly increase our hold in the House and Senate. Maybe with larger majority in both houses we could POSSIBLY return to having a justice per circuit the way it was before the civil war...
