...which is a shame because I believe no one, and no entity, is above criticism. My very same sort of criticism got me thrown out of r/democrats on reddit (whose moderators tend to be the biggest of babies in just about any sub). So many everyday Americans have recognized these aren't normal times, and, in fact have recognized these are extraordinary times that command extraordinary responses. Yet, the opposition party remains afraid to use the f-word when it comes to this administration and its acolytes and seem to have no other commitment to fighting him that goes beyond waiting him out. They can pile on the gloom and doom in the fund raising emails and texts, but have yet to go, en masse, on any of the Sunday shows to speak in the most plain and serious terms about where this country is.

And I continue to be amazed at the optimism within this sentence:

You should already be working with strategists and military minds on PROJECT 2029, a coordinated, long-term plan to rebuild this country when the smoke clears
.

Cutting to the chase: as district and appellate courts try to beat back the worst excess of this president, his very pliant, lapdog Supreme Court undoes their work, consistently elevating perceived harms to the government above those done to individuals, turning the whole concept of law in the United States onto its head. After the Supreme Court, there's nothing left except God Almighty, if you believe such a deity. May you someday in your life have someone who loves you as much as this Court loves Donald Trump. They may see to it the smoke never clears.
