it's about fucking time. What took them so long?

The JOD is conservative - in the best sense of the word, which implies caution, due diligence, and sticking to the rule of law. Historically it was the CIA and the NSA who were responsible for dealing with foreign threats. In today's world, cyberattacks can come from any place, domestically and foreign, and it isn't always clear which it is. Every corporation, every company, every government office, local or national, must take the threat of cyberattacks seriously.

McCarthy warned a group of private companies that Republicans will "not forget" if they comply with

a request to preserve documents from the House select committee investigating the January 6 assault on the U.S. Capitol? A traitor and a liar. McCarthy can be trusted just about as far as Trump. That is, under no circumstances and not at all.

It is so good to see the American justice system working as its should, methodically and by-the-book

rolling up all these miscreants, frauds, and traitors. Every single fake elector should be charged and tried in court. Every single politician who appointed them should be charged and tried in court. The President and all the aids and abettors who planned the concept of fake electors and made phone calls and sent emails to encourage their appointments should be charged and tried in court. The system needs to cleanse itself of all these pathogens and aberrations to restore democracy as envisioned by the constitution.

Republicans' move to cut IRS funding is proof that they are not interested in reducing the debt.

Furthermore, it is proof that they are only interested in forcing through politically unpopular GOP policy anti-tax and anti-safety net priorities by blackmailing the United States with economic catastrophe because they do not have enough votes to achieve those aims democratically.

Biden and/or Democratic Senators should invoke the Constitutional rule that the United States will

pay all debts. That overrides the artificial debt ceiling gambit. It's just an invention of anti-American Republicans.

If no one is defending you, you are probably in the wrong. Of course, that wouldn't occur to a

conservative Supreme Court judge. The arrogance alone disqualifies this judge from siting on the bench of our highest court.

It's a good pitch, and it's true. The Republican version of "Freedom" is more gun deaths, more women

dying in childbirth, less healthcare, and more poverty.

Republicans can only force through the unpopular changes they want by threatening to severely damage

the nation (and the world's) economy.They must be exposed for the frauds they are, even if that requires a lot of pain. Otherwise, they will do it again and again and again. This isn't legislation - it's terrorism.
