Moscow Mitch has always given in to foreign pressure to help Weird 34. The Turtle's hypocrisy isn't much of a surprise. Shame on Kentucky voters that voted for McConnell and against America.

Garland would have been a better SCOTUS Justice than the Attorney General. If only we had someone better ready to move faster. But even if he had, wouldn't SCOTUS have still stopped him? Hard to know for sure.

We now know that Chief Justice Roberts is pro autocracy. His actions speak louder than his words. He thinks and has ruled that the President should have more power in the USA than the old kings of England had over their people and parliament. A king who is immune. Charles I got hung for thinking he had less power than what Roberts has granted Weird 34.

From the article: "There is a risk of authoritarianism down the line."

I disagree. A Dementia Don win is an inevitability that we'll have an autocrat in charge. Roberts may want to reflect on the monster he's created, especially if the autocrat gets his way and dismisses SCOTUS as easily as dismissing the Constitution.

Yep by the time Roberts gets his "let Roberts enforce it" moment from trump the Republic will be in shambles.

If project 2025 gets in effect we will see civil war.

We will see civil war no matter what if the court doesn't change. It's basically what happened last time.

If project 2025 gets in effect we will see civil war.

project 2025 has been a thing since 1981 and all of our presidents and congress people have already enacted nearly 75% of it so far; people have been accepting it since then; also attacking leftists for pointing it out since; and there will be no civil war because of these facts.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!
