Unless the US adopts some kind of proportional representation system (or even at the least discards FPTP), doing that would only ensure that no progressive voices are heard in the government.
The better and more practical option is to take over the democratic party. That is unless you want to have no control over the government.
The goal for them isn’t to have the most money relative to you, it is to make you have no money and be in utter desperation. Then any kind of work that feeds you and your family will be acceptable. Any orders from a billionaire will be followed out of sheer terror of starvation or torture or whatever else the billionaires intend to use as coercion.
Yes they are winning because they already fucking won by having billions of dollars. Their goal is to widen the wealth gap as much as possible. Then us poors are unable to fight back when they unleash mercenaries on us
It’s not easy but we could build a water softener that replaces flouride in the water with lead. I bet they’d fucking love that. Slap a trump hat on it and charge $2k per install. MADE IN AMERICA, BABY!
Coal is so massively expensive to build, maintain and operate that it is being phased out by literally every single power generating utility company. There is no possibility that these regulatory changes that have yet to go into effect will change that.
Trump has been a money launderer for Putin for the past 3 decades. Trump’s entire reason to own international resorts is to use them for laundering money. It’s easy. Build a huge resort, say it’s full even when it is not, and it just so happens to be that half the guests paid in cash. Well, the cash guest, Putin and his oligarchy bros, said “Keep this up or we will ruin you”. So the choice is to make money or lose it all/get killed. Pretty easy choice right?
Whether or not he’s a pedo who did illegal shit on camera is another story
Fast forward to today.
Marshall laid out his arguments for judicial review in Marbury v Madison. At the time it was supported by Hamilton and others too. But it’s not explicitly stated in the constitution. Jurisprudence is entirely an unconstitutional (though consistent with other sections of the constitution) power that the courts granted themselves. It’s been a long time since my last us history class though.
The Supreme court manifested the entire concept of jurisprudence. I think they could do the same for a system of officers of the court.
Supreme court could just manifest the ability to fund a system of officers of the court from thin fucking air if they wanted to.
Yeah I’m starting to think that a triumvirate is the way to go for the office of the president. Let’s have a head of state, a head of government, and a head of _____ idk. But the job is too intense for one individual and we need an escape hatch while also having stability. So we could impeach the head of state but keep the head of government so shit still gets done during that transition.
No, from the brownshirts who have been systematically threatening and murdering the judges and their families who oppose fascism.
I switched over all my devices to 24 hour - phone, computers, cars, etc. I even change the settings on my wife’s phone sometimes. It’s so much easier to mentally read.

03-04-05 – Kushner, Charles – Sentencing – News Release
Political Contributor and Developer Charles Kushner Sentenced to Maximum 24 Months for Witness Retaliation and Other Crimes
NEWARK - Real estate developer and political contributor Charles Kushner was sentenced today to 24 months in prison for his pleas of guilty to assisting in the filing of false tax returns, retaliating against a cooperating witness and making false statements to the Federal Election Commission, U.S. Attorney Christopher J. Christie announced.
Calling Kushner’s crime “disgraceful and reprehensible,” U.S. District Judge Jose L. Linares sentenced Kushner to the top of the eligible range - 18 to 24 months - under the his plea agreement with the government.
“The court of law was the great equalizer for Mr. Kushner, who had obviously convinced himself that his power, influence and immense wealth put him above the law,” Christie said. “We are very pleased that justice was done.”
Judge Linares ordered Kushner, 50, of Livingston, to surrender to the federal Bureau of Prisons by May 9 to begin serving his sentence. Judge Linares also fined Kushner $40,000, the maximum amount as determined under U.S. Sentencing Guidelines.
On Aug. 18, Kushner pleaded guilty to 16 counts of assisting in the filing of false tax returns, one count of retaliating against a cooperating witness and one count of making false statements to the FEC.
Kushner admitted then that, as chairman of Kushner Companies, he assisted in filing false tax returns claiming over $1 million in partnership charitable contributions as office expenses, causing losses to the IRS of between $200,000 and $325,000.
Kushner further admitted at his plea hearing that he devised a scheme to retaliate against a cooperating witness - his sister - and her husband by having a prostitute seduce the husband and covertly filming them having sex. Kushner admitted that he paid a private investigator $25,000 to arrange for the seduction and videotaping of the cooperating witness’ husband. Kushner admitted to personally recruiting the prostitute and instructing that the videotape be mailed to the cooperating witness.
Kushner also admitted to making false statements to the Federal Election Commission which allocated campaign contributions to certain individuals who had no knowledge that contributions were being made in their names and had not consented to him making the contributions.
Christie credited Special Agents of the FBI, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Joseph Billy, Jr.; and Special Agents of the Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation section, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Patricia J. Haynes.
The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Scott Resnik and Thomas Eicher of the Special Prosecutions Division.

I honestly wouldn’t be surprised if he first learned about it just after the debate with Trump. I read (on the internets so not sure how true) that this cancer often presents itself as causing a UTI. And UTIs often cause delirium and disorientation in elderfolk. Just like he seemed to have during the debate. So my theory is he didnt step down because of the bad debate performance but because his doctors then found the cancer and told him he would likely not make it through the next term.
Everyone seems to have forgotten that POTUS’s health conditions are a state secret. FFS they even take a portable toilet (or probably just a garbage bag as a liner) for him to shit in when traveling to foreign countries so they can’t collect the turd for forensic analysis of his health.
The problem is the old fart democrats and a few DINOs combine to make it so there just isnt enough of a voting block to actually make anything happen. It sucks right now but the whole point of congress is to require a majority consensus in order to pass legislation. Frankly the fact is it was structurally designed to be slow because the founders of the constitution were tired of King George and now we’re bearing witness to what happens when we need it to respond.
The audience viewing Greta’s ship getting bombed will be a subset of people who care about Palestine. Israel wouldn’t give half a shit.
The only way for her to do this safely is if she became an official diplomat of Sweden.
