I have been Charge Nurse and as such it is your responsibility to go check things out when messes/train wrecks arise regardless of assignments.

 For comparison sake, did you feel, after one year, that Pence's management of the pandemic was a total mess? 

Once again, what precisely did Biden or Harris DO to create your sense of crisis or the actual influx of minors at the border?

I don't even know where to begin with that article.

Already gone is the 176-year-old tradition of a pivotal November Election Day. The 152-year-old nine-member Supreme Court, the 184-year-old Senate filibuster and the 62-year-old idea of a 50-state union are all being targeted by the New Democratic Party.  

No the nine-member Supreme Court is not gone.  

The long standing tradition of a President accepting defeat and calmly stepping down is what was ruined.   Through no logical and proven process did he win the election.  Like I said many times before the inauguration if he and all these armchair disbelievers in the election know the election was stolen, how is it that only he knows (and the people that believe him just because he says it) and won't provide the evidence he possesses.  

He also rattles on about the deficit.  I knew after Trump raised the deficit that when Biden came around conservatives would suddenly be concerned about the deficit again.  I probably said it a time or two here or on the blue side.

I suppose it's good to reflect on things.  But like Trump during his campaign had to convince people that America was in ruins, I think the campaign to convince us we are in ruins has begun.

It's especially important to convince the conservative base that the border crisis is going to destroy America and that while this is going on the current administration will do no right.

Yawn.

Its a tired and unimaginative script, isn't it @Tweety

Trump supporters are concerned about messes all of a sudden? Trump is/was a mess, Trump's policies regarding international affairs and immigration were a mess, Trump's racist corrupt cabinet was a mess, the crooks and cheats in Trump's orbit are a mess.  Yet, Trump supporters had no problem with the mess that was Trump's crap presidency created at the border or the messes he made around the world and in this country.  

Also, I disagree that Trump supporters are for the US Constitution.  January 6 did not happen because a bunch of reporters stormed the US Capitol to stop Biden from being certified as President of the United States.  Trump supporters who are against the US Constitution that are traitors and domestics terrorist, invaded the US Capitol on January 6.  In addition, the media did not censure Republicans who spoke out against Trumpism and the big lies regarding the elections in 2020 that Trump told. Trump supporters censured those Republicans.  Furthermore, the media has not written laws that are restricting largely black and brown American communities from being able to vote around the country, Trump supporters are doing it.  Plus, the media is not continuing to tell the lie that Trump is president.  That lie lays at the feet of Trump supporters.  However, I will concede that right-wing media is largely racist.  On the other hand, I believe Trump supporters choose to be racist and so, it is their own fault.  

By the way, there is nothing nefarious about the American citizens of DC having local representation.  We did not start with 50 United States.  Moreover, Democrats or anti-Trump Republicans being voted into office/"gaining power" is not against the US Constitution.  In fact, Americans who support Democrats and the Biden Presidency outnumber Trump supporters and voted in the numbers that put their choices into office.  That is how our democracy works. 

Our democracy does not work properly to have a small group of racist control the country through a fascist like Trump, where the majority of American voters are against politicians like Trump.  We tried that for the past 4 years, it did not work.  Our democracy was almost torn down by Trump supporters (again, not the media).

When it comes to media coverage, I definitely see Fox News et al portraying the border as chaotic and out of control and the President should go there.  But other more moderate sources like BBC or NPR aren't covering it much.  Fox News also recently portrayed some scuffle in New York City as "city on fire" when no other organization covered it hardly at all.  Their main headline today is about anarchists in Portland.   I don't trust them for accurately portraying such situations.  

About the democracy, the "Trump won the election, let's storm the capitol" is not democracy.  

I really don't have a problem with conservatives taking up their causes such as the deficit, the border, and how they want to deal with international relations and their criticisms of Biden.  This is democracy and I approve and will discuss that.  I just wish they would dump Trump.  Trump is not the answer anymore.  Let him go and find someone else that will better rerpresent what truly is conservative and Republican policy and fight the Democrats tooth and nail, just please dump Trump.

It's only been a few months but I do hope sooner or later we can stop talking about Trump.

That would be nice.  But justice and accountability don't work quickly in this country and it's going to take some time to ferret out the damage that was done across all of the institutions by Trump appointees. There should be hearings and trials during which Trump family crimes are discussed. Those need to start so that we can be done with this Trump mess as soon as possible...

How to ferret out the damage that Trump administration did, just follow the money.  I'm sure that a few cabinet members didn't walk off with a bucket of money but, off the top of my head, I can't think of anyone except Elaine Chao who got caught with her hand in the till.  But the nepotism exercised by her just being there speaks for itself.

Yeah. Definitely follow the money. 

But I have a feeling that we are going to discover that the damage andv threat is much more than aftermath of historic grifting. We're going to discover that some of the intentions were deviously motivated to empower Trump above the law and to weaken or trouble all institutions, offices or authority's which might limit his power. There was a bunch of people moving going on in the weeks leading up to the insurrection...

I didn't mean me personally, I meant that "news" organizations are bias ( and the bias goes both ways, some right and some left) and as I said as a nation we are not listening to each other but instead dehumanizing others, meaning news organizations, politicians etc. And somewhere along the line it has become OK for people to be fired, doxxed, kicked off social media etc because of their views, IMO unfortunately this should not be America but it is!

LOL, Republicans do care about the Country and the Constitution. But, it is currently the Democratic party that is going after the power grab to keep their power. It is completely unconstitutional to make DC a state but that is exactly what they are trying to do. That along with with getting rid of the filibuster and packing the supreme court should keep them in control, ie a one party system. I believe that is called a dictatorship or totalitarianism. Add to that making Puerto Rico a state, massive infrastructure and covid bills, immigration issues, gun issues...where do you think this will end. Like I said, it won't be pretty for any of us!

A large portion of the 'surge' of unaccompanied minors at the border is due to the accumulation that resulted from Trump's "remain-in-Mexico" policy which left this kids easy targets for human trafficking and sexual assault.  The Biden administration is now processing and returning these kids to their country-of-origin under US protection, I'm not sure what your problem with that is.

There is nothing unconstitutional about DC statehood.  Not only does the Constitution not prohibit it, but the basic premise of their push for statehood would clearly be supported by the founding fathers.  "Taxation without Representation" has been the official motto on their license plates for the last 20 years, and was also one of the main reasons for our country's founding.

Refusing to put a nominated SC appointee through the confirmation, as required by the Constitution isn't "packing the court"? what "packing" have the Democrats engaged in?

Trump is going to be on the table for a very long time. I don't see how we are going to get past the Executive branch of govt, attacking the Legislative branch of govt, quickly. 

That's like almost too much to even conceive! It's the very foundation of our constitution the process attacked that day and Trump had already pried open partially Pandora's box during his time but he literally opened the lid completely that time. Especially as so many republicans embraced the situation, I don't see how that genie gets put back into the bottle unless Biden does away with the filibuster and immediately stacks the courts before mid terms. He has to get John Lewis's law passed asap before mid terms or he will be a lame duck president. 

It's the fatal flaw that republicans exploit over and over again. The weakness that Libs and Dems have, expecting republicans to somehow get decent and law abiding and respect the constitution. They have been doing illegal *** since I started hearing about Nixon and they haven't stopped since, just became better at it!
