While you are clear in your views, you are inaccurately painting a lot of people with a broad brush.

I am not cheering for Carlson's failure in any emotional sense. It's not about him feeling bad or me feeling good. But it pleases me to see him off the air and his Twitter show sputtering. As Pilgrim said, "[Carlson is] a once in a generation media personality that has the ability to influence...

While my compassion does not stop with citizenship status, our porous Southern border is deeply troubling. A border should mean something and with literally millions crossing seemingly at will, the Southern border means nothing. The only immigrants who should be allowed to enter the USA should...

Is Guiliani Flipping on Trump? The news stories are still developing, but it appears that, yes, Guiliani is flipping on Trump. And that is HUGE. If Guiliani flips, everyone in Trump's inner circle and Trump himself will be exposed. Their illegal actions and intent will become fully known and...

All in good time for what? What is it exactly that you are looking for? What do you want Tucker to be or become? What difference does it make to you if he becomes that or not? Why does it matter to you?

If you are a human being, you are entitled to my compassion. If you are lying injured on the side of the road, I'm going to stop to help no matter who you are or what your citizenship status is.

There is that hope, and there is what is actually happening now. No regularly scheduled show. No staff that we know of. A cease and desist letter issued by FOX. Just six brief episodes in the last two months, none of them regularly scheduled. Massively declining views per user across those six...

See my post above. It seems the US Constitution requires that district lines be drawn on population and not on eligible voters. That does not mean that illegal immigrants have the right to vote. They do not. But their numbers must be included as a factor when district lines are drawn.

When I shared this idea with my wife last night, she said it won't work because the US Constitution prescribes another method. ChatGPT put it this way (emphasis mine): "Excluding non-U.S. citizens for the purpose of drawing district lines is not permissible. The U.S. Constitution requires that...

More about this here, regarding the Classified Information Procedures Act. It seems Judge Cannon has already decided the classified documents in question are indeed classified documents. Trump has said he declassified the documents. No sale. The judge ain't buying it...

New York AG Case Against Trump Narrowed This ruling seems reasonable and fair to me. https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/6/27/us-court-narrows-scope-of-trump-civil-suit-dismisses-ivanka

I'm skeptical about that. Sources? Checks and balances is a fundamental American idea that has been in place for centuries. That is a prevailing idea. The independent state legislature theory and ideas akin to it are antithetical. It seems improbable to me that the two ideas would both be...

Prevailing where? Just because an idea has been floating around out there for a long time does not make it the law of the land. To be specific, the legal theory before the court in today's ruling was the independent state legislature theory (IDLT). The Court soundly rejected that theory...

Indeed.

It is correct that Republicans were not alone in their gerrymandering activity. With gerrymandering, there is a natural bias for the incumbents to make their own seats safe. To that end, if a party lacks the super-majority power to impose unfair district lines, they are happy to work with each...

The Supreme Court on Tuesday rebuffed a legal theory that argued that state legislatures have the authority to set election rules with little oversight from state courts, a major decision that turns away a conservative push to empower state legislatures. By a 6-3 vote, the court rejected the...

There are thousands of people who would like a job on Carlson's new team. But does Carlson want or need them? Producing a Twitter opinion show requires a fraction of the staff it takes to produce a national TV show. And so far, zero revenue has been produced from the Tucker on Twitter show...

I'm not sure about post-Musk Twitter either. We can look at the obvious and draw conclusions from that. Beyond that, it's hard to know much of anything. For example, say personality X has 1 million followers today, up from 1/2 million a year ago. The obvious conclusion is this personality has...

I'm not certain, but I don't think so. I've heard talk about special rules that govern cases where classified documents are part of the evidence. While documents and info are handled in a certain way under the rules, I don't think the jurors in such cases have to have security clearances. I've...

Under Seal Because the Trump Mar-a-Lago documents case (national security case) involves classified documents, a number of filings will be done under seal. One such filing was made today. We don't know what it was because it's sealed. It's going to be like that a lot between now and trial...
