to get the Democrats to abandon their attempt to force him to speak honestly in his confirmation hearing.

Let’s hope they’re made of sterner stuff now, as the full ramifications of Justice Alito’s unfitness for judicial service become clearer by the day.

Michael Isikoff in Air Mail describes Alito’s “emergence as the staunchest, most uncompromising and defiant hard-right member of the Court—a role some say was entirely foreseeable when Democrats lost their nerve to challenge his nomination nearly two decades ago.”

It was probably then that Mitch McConnell realized the Democrats weren’t up to fighting for anything, and he could trample our Constitution and judicial system at will.

Trump’s behavior, as well as his policies, turned America into a pariah and a laughing stock on the international stage.  Biden needs to remind the country of that, now that Trump is insisting that we were respected as never before dudring his calamitous presidency.

it simply couldn’t give a shit whether South Carolina’s electoral maps are gerrymandered racially–bring back Jm Crow! It wants to do everything it can to ensure that all of America’s electoral maps are that way. Let’s face it, John Roberts and brethen would prefer that only wealthy white Christians have the right to vote. But  no one is more down with it than corrupt-to-the-roots of his hair Clarence Thomas, a traitor to his race and his country–his next target being both the right to contraception and the mandate that American schools should  be integrated.

When will Dick Durbin do something?

Rep. Omar questions Justice Alito’s patriotism, and it’s about damn time the seditious Roberts majority faces that brand of music.

Will Dick Durban do anything, or will we be subjected to more throat clearing and paper shuffling from Durbin and the Democratic-controlled Senate Judiciary Committee?

As Trump plans his Fourth Reich and ramps up his attacks on American Jews, the Republicans exploit the Gaza crisis to strip Americans of their right to protest, and blindly follow Herr Trump in lockstep.

President Biden must start discussing the parallels between Hitler’s rise and rhetoric, and  Trump’s. In fact, he needs to start not only reminding, but educating Americans about who Hitler was–let’s face it, millions of Americans don’t know.

President Biden undoubtedly knows that Trump’s been on the stimulant happy dust for decades, so he should call Trump’s bluff and agree to a drug test as long as Trump takes one, too.

Remember what “Apprentice” staffer Noel Casler said: the Adderall was flying out of Trump’s surgically-repaired nose.

The Trump syndicate is desperately afraid that knowledge of Trump’s addiction will become widespread. Thus its insistence that it is Biden, not Trump, who is the substance abuser.

Every day Trump mewls the same whimpering complaints and defamation, and every day something that’s happened with his sprawling legal exposure is, so he claims, like nothing the world’s ever seen.

How can democracy in America survive when the mainstream corporate media goes out of its way to not report crucial facts on many of what should be among the most urgent concerns of the electorate?

Media Matters for America reports that their analysis found “thhat from May 9 through May 16 top local newspapers and TV outlets in the largest media markets to reach the battleground states of Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin did not bring” the Washington Post’s story of Trump’s quid pro quoa with the oil executives “to local audiences — with one exception.”

It is anybody’s guess why the corporate media is plumping so hard for Trump, except then, again, it isn’t–the corporate chieftains don’t want to pay taxes. The only thing these execs–same for Wall Street–seem to be concerned with is short-term financial gain. And yet they ignore the fact that Trump is threatening to seize the endowments of private educational institutions, and Michael Cohen ha warned that Trump has ever intention of shaking down individuals or corporations whose wealth he covets.

Where the corpoate media is concerned, the additional irony is that Trump, like his beloved Hitler did, will undoubtedly within his first year of a second term move to shut down any independence the corpoate media has tried to maintain.

Has there ever, in the entire history of the United States, been a Supreme Court majority as defiantly lawless, corrupt, and transactional as  the one over which John Roberts now presides?

“With Mr. Trump leading in the polls,” A LIE included in Rob Copeland’s Times article about  fascistic Wall Street morons who now support Trump although he has made clear that he will impound private wealth.

Finance reporting in the Times, or anywhere else in the corporate media for that matter, skews right even more predictably than do the news desks. But nevertheless, this type of slovenliness is just outrageous.

This article is just one ventilated opinion after another–Biden’s “flagging siupport for Israel.” ??? Copeland iclaims insidiously that it is non-white and youth voters–rather than the actual majority of Americans–who are demanding that the Gaza genocide stop.

This piece should have been properly labelled an editorial. That wouldn’t have made it any less of a shoddy assault on the facts. 

One thing is clear: Wall Street will rue the day it supported Trump should he win.

And so will the Times.
