A few days ago, I watched a very scary interview with Steven Bannon. He was talking about Dozing Diaper Donald staying as president beyond January of 2028 and of course would not divulge how that would be possible. I'm hoping that if we don't stop that, that the Supreme Court will. I don't think this Supreme Court wants to be remembered as allowing him to do whatever he pleases and, in the process, ruins our country.

Oh yes they do.The Roberts Supremacist Court has enabled all of this.

I wish someone would explain to me, in simple English, why they would give him so much power?

Follow the money/perks flowing into their pockets? They have no mandatory ethics policies. They have re-defined/excusedbribes as “gratuities in advance.” How corrupt is that???

And they must not feel confident that they could find employmen, at their present pay scale, elsewhere? Holding onto a get-out-of-jail free card?!?

I suspect they are looking for short-term payoff, vs. the effort they might have to make to have him arrested for trial or even him being told (and enforcing this) that he can't act out his perpetual state of tantrum for at least a preliminary review of its constitutional and/or statute-legal illegality.

'Must be something degenerately, ethically and morally, strategic. . .

Yep, 'fraid so. What I can't process is why other Republicant judges are parroting Roberts' phraseology, eg., _____ "'may be', or 'likely' unconstitutional," rendering an opinion or a stay. . .

I think now of Upton Sinclair’s observation: “It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends on his not understanding it.”

Joanna Coles at The Daily Beast has a podcast on Monday that often features David Rothkompf and Mary Trump. I love it!

Denying Trump photo coverage is important. The NYT could print a black box photo on the front page where a photo of him with Xi would have been if he weren’t such an entitled megalomaniac.

What did Representative Beatty--who's also on the K.C. board(?)--say to djt?

North Carolina elected a Democratic governor and the Republican legislature removed almost every gubernatorial power from the office. Is there any chance a Democratic majority could reduce Presidential powers to ribbon cutting and ceremonial dinners?

Great to have the young student integrated

News organizations need to at least not cover any Trump glamour event.

Thank you for the transcript of this lovely conversation and listening to it everything was so true. Also the conversation with actor Martin Sheen was lovely.
