  • This is truly amazing. A big shout out to Elizabeth MacDonough for doing her job in a non-partisan manner and doing it well.

    Bless her heart!
  • I certainly appreciate her spunk, but what a slender reed to lean on to save us from moral and financial disaster. We now depend upon one lonely woman to restrain Congress and the "president'? Six members of the judicial branch have insured no help from that direction.

    I doubt that our country's founders ever thought that someday we would come to this pass.
  • "I doubt that our country's founders ever thought that someday we would come to this pass."

    THAT'S a big 10-4. Policy differences have always been expected. But the prospect of a conscience-less, criminal President surely never entered their minds.

    We have been in decline for decades. High gear by now.

    @Crash- I'm not sure about that. They had a lot of knowledge of and experience with conscience-less, criminal rulers. They did their damnedest to construct a system with two other branches that had the power to check such an individual.

    Unfortunately they believed that the individuals who would come to populate those two other branches would have the same general moral and belief systems as themselves.

    Their confidence was misplaced.

    Exactly. Even worse, we are now doing governance by means of the courts, the slowest and most inefficient way to proceed.

  • Worse yet, our new autocracy has the backing of the highest court. Nothing Supreme about these MAGA loving turds who wear robes and help steer us into the abyss.
