Too many of them are taking too much in AIPACBux™. Here in PA I know my Senators and Congresscritter are all recipients. I don't know of any Senator, aside from Sanders, that isn't. The Squad in the House don't, and for their trouble AIPAC has been dropping big money trying to primary them out.

Billionaires aren’t just supporting Trump for the tax cuts. As Peter Thiel once admitted: “I no longer believe that freedom and democracy are compatible.” Make no mistake: The goal of American oligarchy is to tear down democracy itself.

It shouldn't be harder for someone who's served time and expressed remorse for a single crime to get a fast food job than it is for a remorseless criminal convicted of 34 felonies to ascend to the highest office in the land.

It sure would be comical if Samuel Alito had recently published an opinion in which he expressed strong feelings about flags and wrote that passersby viewing a flag flying over a building would naturally assume the flag conveys some message on the owner's behalf www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/21p...

When you get right down to it, no major party had ever nominated a mob-connected, publicly adulterous, serially bankrupt, openly solicitous to foreign powers grifter like Trump before. Twice. We've been in new territory since 2016 and it only starts looking familiar again when he's gone. Maybe.

Yes, a former president has never been found guilty in a criminal trial. A former president has never been found innocent in one either. We’re in new territory here.
