LiveToLurk's JournalNeil Gorsuch is Preparing His Revenge - You would hope the SC couldn't get worse....
We are really going to be screwed on this one. We already know how it's gonna turn out.
"Republicans on the Supreme Court are, it appears, planning to gut most of America’s regulatory agencies, in what could be the most consequential re-write of the protective “deep state” since it was largely created during the New Deal in the 1930s.
If they pull it off, they could destroy the ability of:
— the EPA to regulate pollutants,
— the USDA to keep our food supply safe,
— the FDA to oversee drugs going onto the market,
— OSHA to protect workers,
— the CPSC to keep dangerous toys and consumer products off the market,
— the FTC to regulate monopolies,
— the DOT to come up with highway and automobile safety standards,
— the ATF to regulate guns,
— the Interior Department to regulate drilling and mining on federal lands,
— the Forest Service to protect our woodlands and rivers,
— and the Department of Labor to protect workers’ rights."

Did Putin and crew only consider right wing sources of news from the US/rest of world?
When putting their Ukrainian takeover plan together? Just seems to me they bought into fox narrative that the USA/Europe is weak and divided since Biden became president. Or are they just evil dumbshits?
Wow! I've been here for 20 years now - Crazy!
I'll try not to post as much in the next 20......
At the debate Tuesday, I really hope Joe says something to the effect of:
"Man, you really can pull some pretty big whopper lies out your ass Donald....."
Something like that would be awesome.
Question regarding the end of the ACA:
So, once the SC gets rid of Obamacare - is the only solution Medicare for all?
A Letter of Hope Fron Henry Rollins - I hate "we're fucked" - Great read:
My apologies if this has been posted already, but it really made me feel better and hopeful for the future.
"I hate “we’re fucked.”
I mean, I don’t want to shame anyone who has said it, thought it, or posted it. I have too. But as a philosophy, as a statement of belief, I hate it. Because it means you’ve given up.
We are absolutely NOT fucked.
Things are so bad. This country has taken a turn that I could never have predicted. It is absolutely fascist, nativist, and extremist. It’s every bit as scary as it seems.
But we are not fucked."

Giving shit back to trumsters on FB - re: dear leader's Syria bombing:
If you have some friends or relatives who are crowing about what a strong president we have after the Syria bombing, please ask them if they and trump were wrong then when they demanded that Obama ask for congressional approval to bomb Syria back on 2013.
And when you get no response from them, also remind them that no more chemical attacks happened, since 2013, until trump and crew announced that they were not going after Assad. And you can post this great link from The Blaze. Hee Hee! Still waiting for a response.

Conservative provocateur targets CNN with secret recordings
Source: CNN
O'Keefe said in a telephone interview with CNN on Wednesday that he has "a few hundred hours" of "secretly recorded material" from inside the network. "We're calling it CNN Leaks," he said, drawing inspiration from WikiLeaks' document dumps.
He said "part one" would be published Thursday at about 10 a.m. ET. "This is all legally recorded information," he said, declining to be more specific.
O'Keefe, who uses undercover stings to trap his targets, has a reputation for shady tactics and exaggerated statements.
