@Mik said: Pandora's box was opened from 2015 on. What happened in 2015?

@wtg From the brief filed by 35 former federal judges: “The parties have used this lawsuit—which was never an adversarial proceeding over which the Court even had jurisdiction—as a means to allow a “commission” controlled by the President to dole out $1.776 billion in taxpayer dollars without constitutional or congressional authority to do so, and to confer unlawful private benefits to the President and his family by purportedly prohibiting the United States from prosecuting any and all claims against them. And the parties have plainly tried to shield this conduct from necessary judicial scrutiny by short-circuiting this Court’s inquiry into whether the lawsuit is in fact an actual case or controversy by [seeking to dismiss the case] before they announced the “settlement”—clearly in hopes of preventing the Court from ever completing that inquiry, which, if it comes out against the parties, will undo their collusive “settlement.” …. Accordingly, because “[t]he parties’ ‘collusive’ activity perpetrated a fraud on the judicial machinery itself, by fostering an appearance that the litigation involved adverse parties, when, in fact, it did not,” the Court should void its prior dismissal and reopen the case to assess in due course whether a fraud occurred.”

@bernard And for a reason!

It doesn't take a genius to figure out he has dementia, is a malignant narcissist, and lives in his own fantasy world.

My opinion is not an argument nor a disagreement with any other opinion expressed in this thread or in any other thread. My opinion is Fetterman is a tool of the Israeli lobby. I think he's a fool and an ass, when he belligerently waves his Israeli flag, the flag of a foreign nation, at anyone and everyone, in the halls of Congress.

I do get Tangle but haven’t been reading it recently. I did read this - thanks for posting it.

I have nothing good to say so I'm going to say nothing.

I'm trying to stay away from political topics but this would be a fitting quote for him to engrave on his tombstone.

There's a promising a Democrat in Texas (Andy - B...something, maybe). Unfortunately, I agree with Kyle Kalenski's (sp? - don't feel like Googling speling now - sorry) analysis that when Democrats go into the who canned- quote "I don't hate billionaires" rhetoric, it's a sign they don't understand, or don't care about, or are beholden to oligarchy. BTW, I watch part of a documentary about RFK, Jr.'s 2nd (I think) wife. I couldn't watch it until the end but she seemed very smart, very capable, very honest, was earnest in a good way, gave birth to his children, and masterfully remodeled his house because it was about to be condemned. He cheated on her with her own dinner guests, gaslight her, in her words, and generally mentally tortured her. His professional life (lives) and personal life (lives) paint a picture of a twisted soul, imo.

Poll numbers? He doesn't even approve of himself.

It's not even the quiet part out loud anymore. It's just out in the open now. What a collosal moving feast of war crimes and violations of the Constitution from this administration the worst in American history unless my memory is drawing a complete blank.

Again, my advice is save your 5¢ on Lucy's psychotherapy.

It happens to everyone. I wonder if these are just ugly people or if some of them aren't agents provocateurs.

Words fail. Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s personal attorney previously lobbied the Food and Drug Administration to revoke the approval of the polio vaccine, highlighting an influential Kennedy ally who, sources tell ABC News, has been helping interview candidates for top health jobs in the incoming Trump administration. Aaron Siri, a partner at the law firm Siri & Glimstad, has long fought against the widespread prevalence of vaccines. He has also filed petitions seeking to pause the distribution of other vaccines, including Hepatitis B, and to revoke the emergency use authorization of COVID-19 vaccines. The polio petition was made on behalf of one of Siri's clients, the Informed Consent Action Network (ICAN), a group founded by Del Bigtree, another close Kennedy ally who also has been involved in health-related transition matters, according to sources. "Petitioner requests that the FDA withdraw or suspend the approval for [the polio vaccine] for infants, toddlers, and children until a properly controlled and properly powered double-blind trial of sufficient duration is conducted to assess the safety of this product," Siri wrote. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/rfk-jrs-lawyer-top-ally-asked-fda-revoke/story?id=116769906 Would love for these anti-polio vaxxers to talk to Ayuba. I met him a number of years ago when he stayed at my neighbor's house on a Rotary visit. She was active in the Rotary vaccination program in Nigeria and also in India, traveling multiple times to both countries to administer the polio vaccine. https://www.afro.who.int/news/neglect-inspiration-ayuba-gufwans-story

That's a very good question! First step would be to keep Trump away from government.....

It’s close. I’ve seen estimates of 8%.
