What kind of life do we want? America is ready to move forward either into a better future or dialed back to someplace much like Russia. It seems to me that Americans basically want the same things for our children and our lives. Maybe, that is the place to start, with what we have in common.
I do not hold much hope for the former Republican Party. I say former, because that party is essentially gone. People who have always identified with it are more like conservative Democrats.
We asked a lot of important questions this week. Should Roe v. Wade made permanent through Congress, or do we want the Supreme Court’s conservatives to decide for us? What would America be like if Democrats stayed home and Donald Trump returned?
It is hard to see all the good that President Joe Biden has already accomplished in 10 months when we keep getting hit with new COVID variants and worry about inflation. But it is worth the time to check it out. Character does matter.
President Biden wrote this to me, and I thought it might be worth sharing:
‘Our country faces many challenges, and the road we will travel together will be one of the most difficult in our history. It is time for all Americans to set aside their differences, try to understand one another, and strive to make the promise of a just, prosperous, and secure Nation a reality for everyone.’
Pelosi Issues Rallying-Cry To America After SCOTUS Abortion Hearing
Women are about to become wards of the state, forced into pregnancies regardless of their age, health, or any other circumstances. What would life without Roe v. Wade be like? Is it possible that Margaret Atwood’s book and TV series The Handmaid’s Tale will become a tragic reality? Women around the country wondered how the Supreme Court justices could overturn Roe v. Wade, throwing out nearly 50 years of precedent, stare decisis. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi had some thoughts on the matter.
Liberal Justice Sonia Sotomayor summed up the situation perfectly should Roe and Casey be reversed:
‘THE COURT WOULD NOT SURVIVE THE STENCH THAT THIS CREATES IN THE PUBLIC PERCEPTION.’
Audio Calls Linking Donald Trump To Insurrection Plotting Revealed
Under normal circumstances, President Joe Biden’s track record in the first 10 months of his term would be off the charts. He landed hefty checks into Americans’ accounts and provided a fixed monthly child tax credit. Our president signed into law a massive infrastructure bill, which will generate massive numbers of well-paying and union jobs. And his private payroll numbers are posting far better than expected.
In November, the number of jobs increased by 534,000, significantly higher than the Dow Jones estimate of 506,000, according to CNBC.
Audio Calls Linking Donald Trump To Insurrection Plotting Revealed
Hours before the final attack on the Capitol Building on January 6, what was Donald Trump doing? From the White House dining room window, he stood watching as the drama of his failed coup unfolded. His phone was glued to his head.
Even as the planners of the January 6 failed coup met at the nearby Willard Hotel, Trump was still trying to work out a way how to escape becoming the biggest loser of all. He had just met with his former vice president Mike Pence, he told Bannon. And it did not look as if the former vice president would hand him the election at the joint session of Congress.
Trump described what had happened when he met with Pence in the Oval Office. In spite of the ex-president’s best efforts, his vice president told him that he could not, would not halt President Joe Biden’s certification process. According to The Guardian, Trump said of Pence:
‘HE’S ARROGANT.’
‘The Lincoln Project’ Rallies Democrats To Fight Against GOP Fascism
Republicans in Congress know how to fight dirty. And Democrats play nice. For the not-so-Grand Old Party, 2022 is a fight to the death. Democratic legislators meander around the meadow, sightseeing, and singing “Merrily, merrily. Life is but a dream.” The Lincoln Project people are trying to motivate the Democrats to take this once-in-a-nation political sturm and drang seriously. They are not fighting for the Democrats. No, theirs is a fight to literally save our democracy. Or else.
Or else what? The choice is simple. A dictatorship led by a pretty-much insane Donald Trump or President Joe Biden’s vision of a country where Americans all share in the wealth.
The Lincoln Project plays its grim music to the Republicans’ dance macabre: propaganda, race, violence, and domestic terrorism. How would we like to have a House crawling with a nest of bullying Marjorie Taylor Greenes (R-GA) and Paul Gosars (R-AZ) with his murder fantasies?
Or else what? The choice is simple. A dictatorship led by a pretty-much insane Donald Trump or President Joe Biden’s vision of a country where Americans all share in the wealth.
