The supreme court (lower case disrespect intended) has been operating in a totally backwards way from what is intended in emergency cases where lower courts are halting unconstitutional actions by state e******ns officials as well as a******n and other topics.

When an unconstitutional action is challenged in the court system, the logical action by a court that agrees that something is likely unconstitutional is to stop that action before it does harm, and it can be put to the constitutionality challenge. It would not make sense for a court to allow a new and questionable law to take effect to where it would affect an upcoming e******n.

We are seeing courts at state and federal level that are properly stopping unconstitutional actions, states are putting stops, and when they are appealed to federal courts they are agreeing and maintaining that position...only to have the supreme court act in the interim period before a full supreme court case can settle the matter of constitutionality by reversing the proper stays of the lower courts to say the unconstitutional action can take place.

Apparently they are taking the truly backwards and mentally r****ded view that by preventing the constitutionally illegal action it would alter an upcoming e******n it would be an improper overreach...Duh, that is why it is before the courts is to keep an unconstitutional overreach from affecting an e******n.

Texas makes the case, by trying to make it harder to v**e they are violating constitutional v**er rights. Court steps in and says we agree, no you are not going to do this. Texas takes it before a federal court, only to get the same logical and expected result...

The supreme court sees it, and not having time to properly hear the case, instead of supporting lower court holds on the illegal actions, says sure go ahead, being prevented from doing this would affect the upcoming e******n.

The supreme court is there to protect the constitution and especially v****g rights, and they have been instead undermining v**ers rights at every turn by allowing states to make it harder to v**e. GOP friendly courts are not observing the first rule of determining whether a new rule is an unconstitutional action....make the ones that want the change make the case that there is a reason for the change in the first place.

CNN poll: Biden collapsing "across the board"

QUOTE: Nearly 6 in 10 Americans disapprove of how Joe Biden is handling his presidency, with most of that group saying there's literally nothing Biden has done since taking office that they approve of. The finding, from a CNN Poll conducted by SSRS in January and February, highlights the entrenched politics driving the nation at the start of the midterm year, with little agreement across party lines on priorities for the government or how to handle the c****av***s p******c.

Oh the division in the GOP!

Frankensteins Monster crowd are so delusional that they think Trumpenstein can win and the rest of the Policritters are runnning for cover because they think they've waited too late to keep from being run over by the train.

The v**er weren't all Trump loyalist and by now the right is figuring out that Trump might just repel the ones in the middle that only v**ed for the Orange Julius because Old Joe just didn't seem right to do.

I would categorize this current state of affairs sort of like Pompei. They know its coming but have no where to go.

Sorry, Mitch McConnell. Frankenstein’s Monster Runs the GOP Now

Groupthink, obedience, loyalty, and propaganda are the lifeblood of every successful cult trying to indoctrinate, retain, and strengthen its members. That’s why it was such a rare and strange sight to see Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell publicly break with the Republican National Committee and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy over the censure of Reps. Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger.

Don’t be fooled by this public theater. McConnell is desperately trying to put lipstick on a wild, savage pig before a contentious and pivotal 2022 midterm e******n. He realizes the aforementioned livestock he’s nurtured has t***sformed into a radicalized and weaponized death herd willing to violently tear down our democratic institutions.

Republican National Committee Chairperson Ronna McDaniel reflected the grievance of a wounded cult member when she said, “Liz Cheney and Adam Kinzinger crossed a line” by choosing to join “a Democrat-led persecution of ordinary citizens who engaged in a legitimate political discourse that had nothing to do with the violence at the Capitol.” Sen. Mitt Romney—McDaniel’s uncle— apparently “exchanged texts” with his niece over the RNC’s “inappropriate message,” but, alas, he was unpersuasive.

Republicans Actually Love Affirmative Action (for Themselves)

Maybe he should engage in “legitimate political discourse” by arming himself with a variety of weapons like the Trump supporters who stormed the US Capitol in a violent r**t that led to the deaths of five people, including a cop. They intended to engage in “discourse” with stun guns, bats, f**gpoles, rope, and pepper spray. Many of these “ordinary citizens” were actively hunting for House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Vice President Mike Pence—who is now seen as a “t*****r” for deciding to opt-out of Trump’s c**p and instead reflect the will of the American people and their v**ers.

Asked by CNN’s Manu Raju about the RNC’s controversial statement last week, McConnell replied that J****** 6th “was a violent i**********n for the purpose of trying to prevent the peaceful t******r of p***r after a legitimately certified e******n, from one administration to the next.”

But it would be a grave mistake to assume that McConnell and other Republicans—such as Sens. Romney and John Thune, who support his sentiment—are “moderate Republicans,” an oxymoron that should have been retired in 2016. They are walking dinosaurs soon to be replaced by the true base of the GOP, which increasingly believes in the Big Lie, entertains the “Deep State” conspiracy theory, and wants to model itself after Hungary’s authoritarian, ethno-religious nationalism.

If anything, their distancing is perhaps motivated by self-interest with an increasing realization that the Department of Justice and the House Select Committee are ramping up their investigations which might implicate many of their colleagues and place them in serious legal jeopardy. At any rate, their words are hollow when compared to their actions, which are in full support of the GOP’s radical agenda against v****g rights, c*****e c****e, income ine******y, gun control, police reform, and any meaningful attempt at addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion.

Recall that McConnell similarly had harsh words for Trump after the failed c**p attempt, but he still v**ed against impeaching him. In 2021, McConnell warned of a “death spiral” for democracy, yet he has done almost nothing to rein in the extremists of his own party. His legacy will be defined by being an obstructionist who made the Senate into a legislative graveyard and surgically packed the courts with right-wing hacks—most notably the Supreme Court, which just oversaw a 5-4 decision that will suppress Black v**ers in Alabama.

Another top Republican who is doing his part to accelerate the death spiral of US democracy is House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, who rather than answer questions about the RNC’s “legitimate political discourse” madness, ran from reporters like he was practicing for an upcoming track and field competition.

Much like McConnell, McCarthy initially blamed Trump, publicly saying, “the president bears responsibility for Wednesday’s attack on Congress by mob r****rs.” A year later, after realizing his base was fully radicalized by the Big Lie, he did a 180 and said, “I was the first person to contact him when the r**ts were going on,” adding that Trump promised to “put something out to make sure to stop this. And that’s what he did; he put a video out later.”

When asked if he supported the RNC’s resolution, McCarthy declined to respond. However, he defended the use of “legitimate political discourse,” and did a remarkable Jedi mind trick by suggesting the RNC was actually referring to subpoenas sent to RNC officials who were allegedly part of Trump’s false e*****rs scheme. Nobody believed him. Nonetheless, House Republicans did emerge from a closed-door meeting agreeing that Rep. Cheney, who v**ed with Trump 93% of the time and used to be the third highest-ranking Republican, should not be re-elected.

Both Ms. Cheney and Mr. Kinzinger were targeted by the RNC for simply putting loyalty to the country and national security above the GOP’s interests. Their punishment is permanent exile. They were not guilty of antisemitism, anti-Muslim bigotry, allegations of sex trafficking, or palling around with white nationalists. Those are the acceptable sins, respectively, of Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Lauren Boebart, Matt Gaetz, and Paul Gosar. None of them have been publicly condemned by the RNC for their vile behavior nor reprimanded by the party’s leadership.

Instead, the RNC has decided to focus explicitly on Cheney and Kinzinger, because they were the only two Republicans who chose to sit on the House Select Committee. As a result, Rep. Kinzinger has announced he’s no longer running for re-e******n. In November, Wyoming Republicans v**ed to stop recognizing Liz Cheney as a member of the GOP. (Her last name…is freaking Cheney.)

For his brief dalliance with democracy, Pence now also stands condemned and joins Kinzinger and Cheney in the small cast of villains and t*****rs to the right-wing cause.

Justice Department is Finally Getting Serious About Holding the J*** 6 Ringleaders Accountable

Despite spending four years utterly debasing himself and prostituting his dignity and ethics in servitude of Trump, Pence was recently thrown under the bus by none other than former UN Ambassador Nikki Haley, who still nurtures hopes of becoming president one day. Pence’s crime? He said Trump was “wrong” to claim that the vice president could have overturned the results of the 2020 e******n. Haley jumped on Fox News to praise Pence as a “good man” and an “honest man,” but nonetheless revealed her true loyalties, when she admitted: “But I will always say, I just, I’m not a fan of Republicans going against Republicans.”

Ironically, Haley did just that against Trump last year when she said, “He went down a path he shouldn’t have, and we shouldn’t have followed him, and we shouldn’t have listened to him.” Now? Haley says, “We need him in the Republican Party. I don’t want us to go back to the days before Trump.”

Haley, perhaps unintentionally, revealed a painful and sad t***h about the modern GOP that many within powerful institutions, especially the media, are still unwilling to hear. It is no longer a normal political party with sober adults who are able and willing to form guardrails that protect democracy. The movement is so beholden to its radicalized base that it must abandon its own legacy star, Liz Cheney, simply for refusing the Big Lie.

Where are the moderate Republicans and why can’t they condemn this violent extremism? They’re too busy applying lipstick to a pig, but sadly they can’t hide the true face of this ravenous herd coming for our democracy.

The key word of this topic of mine is "Intentional"! We as citizens of this country of ours have seen the outrageous actions both foreign and domestic and we should all wonder who is going to take action within the federal bureaucracy to stop it. Or better yet which federal organization is willing to their balls on the line to stop it. When does it become a complete necessity to stop all of the mayhem that has been going on in order to make our country safe again?
