Much depends on how we deal, or don’t, with judges abusing their positions of unique power.American democracy is at a precipice, experts say. And time is ticking
"doom scrolling" awesome term.Doom scrolling much?
You know the news sucks but no sense in creating more angst and anxiety over the uncontrollable..I've taken my life back a bit from news and it feels great. Still have my fingers on the pulse- I think a hurricane hit Florida.
I'm going to read a book and put together an item I ordered today; maybe slide over to Dispensary, and you?

We might just rely on our neighbors to the north to be our backup reservoir of pluralist politics, from which we might reinoculate our damaged political ecology.
I intended no slight; in fact I think I’m conferring respect. If we figuratively go south, Canadian politics would be a salutary counterexample next door.Much depends on the upcoming elections.
I don’t understand the perceived slight. There was nothing in the article that hasn’t already been noted by many members of Congress.
That's the point..Media knows nothing more than we do until it's announced- I can do without the speculation of others lesser than myself."doom scrolling" awesome term.
The news really needs to get off this full tilt boogie of speculation and amplification of a handful of knuckleheads.
The one way to effect that (and I don’t know how, without unintended consequences) is to reduce the amount of money in doing so."doom scrolling" awesome term.

You have a lot to say about an article you didn’t read.Advertisers want bang for their buck- audience..the name of the game is 'outrage' to keep you engaged.
Oh no. I thought the premise of the article you posted is sobering and sound.I thought you felt slighted.
YOU didn’t read it, either: Choker Quarrlesome, it ain’t."doom scrolling" awesome term.

It's not a matter of putting head in sand.Obviously you didn’t read the article.
Keep your head in the sand though, that’ll help.
I’m still hoping for a surprise victory and the Democrats hold on. It can happen.It's not a matter of putting head in sand.
We are undergoing a generationally driven social shift away from the status quo of white rural power that controlled much of this nation since its inception. It's so big and moving so slow, it hardly matters to our daily lives. We are going to vote in November. It's quite likely that Democrats will lose the House. What happens next? We will see.
It wouldn't be a surprise if I were expecting it, would it?I’m still hoping for a surprise victory and the Democrats hold on. It can happen.
It could have happened if Biden hadn't started a proxy war with Russia driving up the price of everything and is threatening military action to another nuclear power (China over Taiwan), record inflation, market crash and housing bubble bursting in some metropolitan areas. Although not all his fault, he's gonna wear it like a cheap suit.I’m still hoping for a surprise victory and the Democrats hold on. It can happen.
