There is a second remedy: constitutional amendment. Not sure exactly who should be watching the watchers if it’s not Congress. But we can assign someone to do so.
Maybe a supermajority of district court judges should rule on issues involving SCOTUS justices.
the worst part about them is they arent even neds parents. at least his parents were concerned. they arent even conservatives at this point theyre regressives. they want to encourage the bad behavior.
Not all states support recalls. California kind of goes all in on the democracy thing with the ease of introducing ballot initiatives and recalls and such. It’s mostly fine, but it can also result in pretty stupid plays like this.
I didn’t read the article. Let me guess… Conservatives areas live shorter, lower quality lives? Who would’ve thought the state providing actual services and support with tax dollars could increase quality of life!?!
Yeah, our Founding Fathers clearly believed that to secure the rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, governments were wholly unnecessary. They split from Britain and set up their own government just for funsies.
Brother I fix cars for a living. It's literally not my job to investigate and I couldn't if I wanted to. We have people for that. It's long past time to hold them accountable.
Anything works flawlessly when your goal is to not use it. The difference is that Democrats are interested in using the government to promote the common good and Republicans aren’t. But when they’re backed into a corner where no government action would get them crucified (like the COVID bills) Democrats won’t get in the way. Whereas whenever Democrats try the same thing Republicans obstruct and filibuster so they can blame Democrats for their inaction.
Except they do and have accomplished things to help. The fact that they haven’t done more is proof that we’re never satisfied. It would be easier to do if Republicans hadn’t decided their path to power is to obstruct and blame everything on Democrats, but we no longer live in that world. Let’s acknowledge reality instead of helping Republicans blame Democrats for their hindrance.
Because the government works in favor of Republicans and against Democrats every single time. Because Joe Biden, Joe Manchin, and KKK Leader Robert Byrd are/were pals. Because Biden rode the term “welfare queen” to the presidency. Because Kamala Harris is a cop and a DA. Because if it isn’t Manchin it’s Sinema. Because “The Squad” only swings their ladydicks when the stakes are low, and spend the rest of their time conveniently allowing the Republicans to operate with impunity. Because Marjorie Taylor Greene is still allowed in DC. Because because because becaaaause!!!
And when they get the votes to bypass Republican obstruction, they deliver for the nation. Which is more than I can say for Republicans, who only serve the donor class.
But please, continue to be smug in your enlightened centrism. You won’t hear from me again.
Twice in my life the popular vote was overridden by the electoral college to install a Republican, and look who’s crying about stolen elections, and look who’s dragging out the investigation.
Republicans control the house and the senate is still subject to the filibuster and likely will remain that way until the next time there is 52+ dem senators + dem house + dem president simultaneously.
Florida, and coastal conservative states… do you want even less homeowner’s insurance? Ignorant chuds.
“I hate socialisms! Anyways, I don’t got no insurance and this cyclone bomb storm flooded and destroyed my uninsurable house, where’s my FEMA money to fix it? I need to get my house rebuilt now so I have a place to fight the socialisms from!!!”
The interesting bit to me here is about Woodward. He appeared to be advising certain clients in a way that was both illegal and which put the client paying the bills at an advantage.
The only way this works is if people join. I’ve worked in quite a few right-to-work states. There is a lot of poverty and there is always someone willing to work more for less money. That is also true in the north, but unions already have a foothold here. Republicans also have convinced a lot of people down there that unions are just trying to steal your money.

Lotta people don’t realize that there’s no silver medal in the race to the bottom. There’s always someone who is more desperate than you to be exploited.
Can you imagine trying to publicly strongarm and shame the people you call colleagues for just a little bit of power? He betrayed every relationship he had and expended all of his political capital, gaining nothing in the process.
