I am hoping Biden will expand and enact ethical standards for the Supreme court in his second term.

He can't use an Executive Order, those can only apply to the executive branch. A law? Even if the Democrats maintain a majority, they won't be able to get past the filibuster. Even if they could, the courts would kill it. Don't forget that all three branches are equal. Now if the Democrats expand the Supreme Court (if they can), then the new Supreme Court can create ethical standards for itself.

God Guns and Gays. Lee Atwater’s pillars of the Reagan Revolution.

Abortion and guns were supposed to be ✅s on large numbers of voters. Two lines in a speech or ad and you have them in your back pocket. No campaign or fundraising resources needed past that. The GOP RNC got overrun by “the preachers” as Goldwater warned about. THEN their media became its own monster and IT got overrun by Trump.

“There’s not a dime’s worth of difference between Al Gore and George Bush”

And fuck all the lefties that bought that, and still buy it.
Fuck the “greens” and the horse they rode in on

Children slaughtered in school, one million covid deaths, POC killed in the street and in their homes, young women hunted down and jailed for reproductive crimes, ignore climate destruction, etc etc.

"Nothing we can do about it." The new shameful American slogan.

Keep sensing that 2022 is potentially our last election, and we must elect massive amounts of Democratic officials, nationally to state to local, so that 1) we can preserve voting and 2) make Federal law for fair elections.
Thank you for posting this.
