To put a finer point on it. Trump’s contention isn’t just that he can deport people without them appearing before a judge, but that he can render them into a life sentence in a foreign dungeon with no process whatsoever.

Vox populi --
Democrats shouldn't need a poll to convince them to oppose Trump's authoritarian moves vocally, but the polls do show that voters REALLY do not want a dictator. www.messageboxnews.com/p/voters-are...

Palin's NYT lawsuit fizzles ... again --
Sarah Palin just lost her defamation suit against the New York Times—for the third time. The jury cleared the paper in under 3 hours. All that outrage, all those years, and still no case. Sometimes the “witch hunt” ends with a mirror.

I don’t get the idea that people think polls matter. The republicans aren’t worried about town halls because they know there won’t be any more elections. And there’s nothing anyone can do about it, no matter how concerned the democrats get.
ReplyDeleteSeafury -- gotta say, not crazy about your doomerism. Might as well just get into a fetal position and give up.
ReplyDeleteHate to get depressed about future elections, but really what is the point of the Dogechimps if not to blowi up federal elections?
ReplyDeletePoint taken. Trust me I’ll do handsprings as soon as I see something I can get behind. Protests and polls notwithstanding. Besides, I can’t get into the fetal position.
