Just Watch Nazi Republicans Jump Ship Like Rats In Coming Years
“It was out of my control.” “I had no idea that this was happening.”
“I had no say about what the RNC was doing.” “I’ve always said that there’s no place for big money in politics.”
No excuses. These sorry spineless racist warmongers who care little for the people they represent will try to hide behind worn out excuses but WE the People demand accountability for what they have collectively done to the country WE once proudly supported.
They could have done the only honorable thing possible. Leave the despicable group of racists that they colluded with. People from the Lincoln Project, Steve Schmidt, George Will, Liz Cheney, Jeff Duncan, Colin Powell, Tim Miller and many others have disavowed this lawlessly led Cheeto party and denounced it full heartedly. But there are still scumbags like DeSantis, Ramaswamy, Niki Halley, Tim Scott, Chris Christie, Pence, Burgham who will still support the CNPP(Christian Nationalist Pedo Party) despite the racist immoral positions that Project 2025 puts them in. These people should not be allowed to run for dog catcher. And I would argue that the electorate that supports Nazi Republicans are complicit in their avowed racism, corruption, and immorality. How disgusting that there are Americans to turn a blind eye to authoritarian rule.
To this latter group of ANO(Americans in Name Only) WE the People have one thing to say to you despots. There will be no excuses for you when karma comes knocking at your door. Game and career in politics is over. There should be no juicy positions in academia, lobbying firms, or the corporate world. They should be shunned and thrown into a political leper colony to rot with their greedy immoral racist worldviews. WE the People know who you are!!
Steve Schmidt, George Will, Liz Cheney, Jeff Duncan, Colin Powell, Tim Miller and many others like Charlie Sykes, are the intellectual heirs of Milton Friedman, William f Buckley Jr , Ronald Reaga, they are the Tea Party, or were until it morphed into MAGA but there would be no MAGA, no Trump were it nor for them, and they haven't reformed or changed who they are.
They are adding more members to the MSM's cult and are spreading as not so secret "Sleeper Cells" across the Vast Right Wing media scape. Many "ex-Republicans" are MS Now regulars, plus we’ve been seeing some OG pundits and newbie guests like David French - yet another “non frothing-in-public - but full of it - propagandist”, all pitted against progress in America.
I cringe as they so easily and often engage in the “beneath the radar” televised Messaging War with their “Attack of the Fearsome Sound-Bites”.
It comes in waves, as stark warnings about “Democratic Overreach”, “Federal Government - Big Government Overreach”, “Government Takeover”, “Big Government Power-Grap”, and of course George Will’s “Spectre of Socialism”. … to name but a few weapons in their arsenal. There’s no one fighting back.
Once Trump is no longer in the White House, they will emerge from their Sleeper Cells to engage across the MSM in a massive Nationwide Scorched Earth Campaign to assert their traditional agenda of “Limited Government (AKA, their concern of the role and size of government in a free society), Fiscal and Personal Responsibilities, and Peace Through Strength”, and disassociate the Republican Party from anything Trump. To them they believe they can simply “turn the page”.
I don’t see meaningful push back on any of this, and have yet to see the Democrats go on the offensive to attack these ex-officials and pundits, and their positions. They still must put into practice attacks to attain and keep power. And they need to make sure that Republicans forever own everything Trump touched.
Dressing your final paragraph. You are absolutely right, for one thing, the mainstream Democratic party is for the most part compromised,on the take, part of the animal
The three C's, Cowardly, corrupt and/or compromised.There is hope and New York leads the way.
Call them socialist, which the right uses as a euphemism for communist, and they run for the darkest corner,and bend over backwards to prove them wrong, like Clinton did. The man was a disaster for the party, for freedom, liberty, for everything, but a boon for the right wing, the bankers,the prison industrial complex, for racists, for monopolists, were it not for Clinton, eliminating Glass Steagall, there would have been no banking crisis, no bank bailout, no Dubya, no Iraq war, no Trump
i have not read anywhere where anyone has challenged the cockamamie idea of one paragraph/sentence that is not even part of the body of a specific SCOTUS ruling - just a sentence or so in the space above the title. NO ONE NOTICED THIS? WTF! Why can't this be challenged, sued or overturned by anyone with a brain? Or are there no brains left?
That is what seems obvious, but really appropriate. If a corporation commits a crime, there is very little consequence. If a human person commits murder - wither intentional or not - they will be convicted in a criminal court and likely spend time in prison, or worse. Not so with corporations, many of which have killed millions of people through negligence, neglect, breaking laws, or even deliberately. If a human person commits significant fraud, they CAN go to jail - see Martha Stewart. But if a corporate person commits fraud, all they get is a fine, usually no more than a few days or at most weeks of profit.
Corporate "persons" have more rights than human persons. And almost none of the accountability or responsibility.
It's terribly important for us to understand that Field's "ideology" is not about "politics", but an existential psychological issue. It reflects an emotional disturbance, a foreshortened neurological development, an epigenetic corruption of normal human ontogeny. This is important, because such people are not just "anathema to democracy" but dangerous to normal, healthy society. They should be sequestered as early as possible for corrective therapy, or prevented from entering healthy human society. Psychopaths cannot be allowed to circulate in public. We cannot treat them as normal humans, however compassionately we believe they deserve rescue before being readmitted to society.
History has foisted any number of "mad kings" on society. We cannot afford to allow this any longer (think Overshoot and Climate Change, human species survival). We now know better and have tools to attempt to recover basic humanity in those who have been deprived of it by parental neglect and abuse. We will likely make mistakes, but the alternative is extinction. Let's not pretend we can allow this to recur in any more cycles of disaster.
I cannot agree. Do you not recall the way the authorities in the Soviet Union used psychiatric wards to isolate and silence their citizens who expressed "deviant" opinions?
That's a very poor comparison, in my view. We could not be more clear about who was running the Soviet Union -- and who emulates it today from the White House. At some point, Americans are going to have understand what democracy is -- not about pushing buttons from your couch but negotiating everyday affairs with neighbors you disagree with. Those "psychiatric wards" were a sham, as today's detention centers are. We are much better than that. Do we have to gear up and watch closely? You bet. Do we need to disarm the plunderers? What do you think?
I would've liked an explanation of what a Headnote is and why it became more effective than the actual decision. Someone else I read mentioned this ruling/headnote or I would've been really confused.
Thom, corporations people , no. Thanks for the history lesson. Really good stuff. Happy Gay Pride Day! Everybody! Great parade here in Chicago. Lots of happy proud people marching toward their on happiness. I, agree! Just, do you, thank you Kamala! Thom!

Thanks, Thom. Love getting this history, with important facts compiled in a way that is accessible and compelling. Best writer on the planet.

If human rights are accorded to corporations, they should enjoy human consequences, including, with my selective support, capital punishment.
That is what seems obvious, but really appropriate. If a corporation commits a crime, there is very little consequence. If a human person commits murder - wither intentional or not - they will be convicted in a criminal court and likely spend time in prison, or worse. Not so with corporations, many of which have killed millions of people through negligence, neglect, breaking laws, or even deliberately.

Sorry, Charlie!

The crucial element, as always, is "Who decides?"
