I used to be a student of literature, a lawyer, a real estate developer. Now I grow grapes. I haven’t shut off DMs but don’t expect an answer.

Sure. If I run headfirst into that brick wall again, it’s sure to crumble.

You really aren’t worth wasting time on. It’s because of fools like you that we are just as likely to lose as keep our democracy.

I think extortion is a more accurate term

So? Reagan was elected 45 years ago and we can’t alter that fact now. It barely makes sense to look at how the Democrats lost last year.

The present crisis is more than enough to deal with.

Or, as Yogi Berra said, “Predictions are hard, especially about the future.”

But at least there used to be reasoning of some sort and, unlike now, the Supreme Court seemed to understand that it had to decide cases as a matter of law, not just ignore the trial court’s findings of fact

No, but SCOTUS is

When the Court is only result oriented, then there’s always a way to bend the law

On no planet and in any event it
takes 67 votes in the Senate to convict. The Democrats would have to hold all the Senate seats they currently hold and win 20 out of the 22 Republican seats up in 2026.

I live in a zip code that he wants to represent part of, but luckily (?), the part I live is represented by Roger Williams. He’s just a “normal” rightwing MAGA. Nothing special by Republican standards.

I don’t know. That horse would be a better senator than Tommy Tuberville or Markwayne Mullin.

We had a condo in Downtown Dallas until September. Pre-pandemic the city was improving but all the momentum was then lost. We found the city almost unlivable. Long walks crossing roads with at least six lanes of fast traffic to get to a grocery store. Enormous barren parking lots. A car required

You’re lucky. The indicated cat contacted me about obtaining injunctive relief but I had to decline representation because I’m not licensed in Ohio.

I know a fair amount of people already living in the manner you describe as life under fascism.
