Defend your right to vote + free and fair elections ...from despots and cheaters like THIS: (Excerpt)
"...Though Trump has insisted his [election] fraud claims are real, there’s no evidence they were, and the lawsuits in the Fox and Newsmax cases show how some of the president’s biggest supporters knew they were false at the time. Trump’s then-attorney general, William Barr, said there was no evidence of widespread fraud.
Trump and his backers lost dozens of lawsuits alleging fraud, some before Trump-appointed judges. Numerous recounts, reviews and audits of the election results, including some run by Republicans, turned up no signs of significant wrongdoing or error and affirmed Biden’s win."

2/9/25 article excerpt:
"..The second Trump administration’s brazen pattern of blowing through myriad apparent legal limits has prompted debate about its intentions. One theory is that it is deliberately setting up test cases that would ultimately pave the way for the Supreme Court’s Republican-appointed supermajority to expand presidential power by striking down the statutes as unconstitutional.
But the escalating pace of courtroom clashes has raised the question of what would happen if Mr. Trump simply started ignoring decisions he did not like, rather than appealing them. The result would be a constitutional crisis."

(Reposted opinion article excerpt) ..An expression of truth, from the land of reality: "I am afraid of what this future holds, my fellow Americans, because Trump is a fake, Lindsey Graham is a fake and the G.O.P. has become a cult with no coherent platform other than what side of the bed Trump woke up on, meaning it’s a fake. None of them will fight for anything any longer — other than staying in Trump’s good graces by saying whatever he tells them to say. They are all trapped in a performative doom loop that has nothing to do with acting on our real interests. It’s only about performing for Trump and for his base to get more clicks, to get more donations, to get more votes, to get elected and then perform again for more clicks. Rinse and repeat — the actual world be damned..."

6/9/22 update: ↓..An idea about some of what will be presented by the January 6th House committee, beginning tonight:
(Excerpt:)
"Sources familiar with the panel’s investigation who have spoken to The Independent have said the hearings will reveal that many of the events that transpired that day – events which have heretofore appeared spontaneous – were in fact part of a multi-pronged, multi-faceted effort by former president Donald Trump and his supporters to overturn results of the 2020 election, and to knowingly do so with the aid of a violent mob.Specifically, the panel intends to use the hearings to make clear that it has not found any evidence to support Republican claims that what happened on 6 January 2021 was a peaceful protest gone bad or that other occurrences of violence that day were spontaneous or accidental. The committee will also use evidence it has gathered, including witness testimony and unreleased documents, to show connections between a violent extremist core group of Mr Trump’s supporters who responded to his call for a “wild” protest that day and Mr Trump’s expansive coterie of outside confidantes, sounding boards, and allies in the right-wing political and media ecosystems."

'What goes around, comes around...'

They are absolutely right, and there's simply no other way to say it. #debates
9/29/20 commentary article link:
"Trump’s baffling debate strategy was to tweet out loud for 90 minutes"
Brief excerpt:
"...[Trump's] approach was the approach he takes on Twitter: lifting up various unfounded allegations, shouting at everyone for hours on end, celebrating obscure memes and jokes. Biden found himself debating @realdonaldtrump and not the president of the United States.
It was an odd gambit for Trump. Sure, it meant that he flooded out Biden’s own attacks or Biden’s presentation of his policy ideas. (Trump, famously, has offered little in the way of a second-term agenda.) The Atlantic’s Derek Thompson noted that it was the human equivalent of a distributed denial-of-service attack, a hostile effort in which a website is flooded with so much garbage traffic that good requests can’t get through. Few rational debate topics survived Trump’s tsunami."

I obviously think I'm some kind of wonderful prognosticator, so here's an early, broad outline suggesting what's likely to happen related to the SCOTUS vacancy
(Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)
FWIW, I reserve the right to modify the outlined predictions, especially over the next few weeks:
(Sources reviewed for the following are linked:)
-- Donald Trump will likely nominate a woman. Here is a link to one current "short list". Part of the reason will be a cynical attempt to -- belatedly -- appeal to women voters.
-- Polling might help guide whether Republicans will nominate someone before Election Day, vs. shortly thereafter. (Caveat:) Reminder: Donald Trump likes to pick fights, divide...and he rarely "does the right thing". Mitch McConnell is one of his chief enablers.
...Trump has already indicated that he wants a nomination 'without delay'. One report suggests a nomination announcement before the first presidential debate.
-- Trump (and Republicans) will use the SCOTUS battle to distract from other issues, including probably worsening overall U.S. COVID-19 numbers this fall.
-- Democrats will fight hard to delay a SCOTUS nomination until at least after election day, if not further. Large/energetic protests are likely to occur at some point. Can Democrats convince the public that it's wrong to nominate/confirm someone before the election, and/or before (its) results are in? (Also ref. 'polling', above.) Conversely, Republicans (overall) may be willing to "go to the mat" over this nomination (i.e., almost "no matter what.."), as it seems to be a rare opportunity to shape the court for years.
-- (To Republicans' delight..) 'Obamacare' may be in peril. (Ref. link.)
-- Subject to revision in the weeks ahead, as things generally look right now, Donald Trump will lose the presidential election -- both by popular vote and in the electoral college. Complete voting results however, will not likely be available on or around November 3rd, leading to disputes and at least some delaying (..and dividing) tactics. Also: As things look right now the most likely election vote outcome for the U.S. Senate may be a 50-50 split.
-- If you 'buy' the last prediction above, Democrats (in general) will subsequently fight with everything they can muster to delay the SCOTUS appointment until after the 2021 presidential inauguration.
-- Ultimately, Democrats may be unable to prevent a SCOTUS nomination from Trump/Republicans prior to the 2021 inauguration. If they gain power, Dems. may (then) consider "structural changes", including expanding (or 'packing') the Supreme Court, ending the filibuster, etc.
....We will see how this develops...

(Updated:) American war dead are reportedly "losers and suckers" to Donald Trump. No human would give that reprehensible + soulless point of view any kind of a 'pass', ever
(Commentary, including reposted material. Temporarily posted.)
9/4/20 update: Significant aspects of The Atlantic's reporting (below) have now been confirmed (by major news outlets) here, here and here. (Subscriptions may be required.)

(Comment:) No one should let this latest Trump abomination "slide". We may again 'pause' this blog soon, but a new mission will be to (strive to) make certain Trump's words + attitudes about U.S. military service will always be associated with him, and never be forgotten.

(↓Previously posted material:)
Here's the 9/3/20 story (link):
"Trump: Americans Who Died in War Are ‘Losers’ and ‘Suckers’"
Brief excerpt:
"...Trump rejected the idea of the visit because he feared his hair would become disheveled in the rain, and because he did not believe it important to honor American war dead, according to four people with firsthand knowledge of the discussion that day. In a conversation with senior staff members on the morning of the scheduled visit, Trump said, “Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” In a separate conversation on the same trip, Trump referred to the more than 1,800 marines who lost their lives at Belleau Wood as “suckers” for getting killed.
Belleau Wood is a consequential battle in American history, and the ground on which it was fought is venerated by the Marine Corps. America and its allies stopped the German advance toward Paris there in the spring of 1918. But Trump, on that same trip, asked aides, “Who were the good guys in this war?” He also said that he didn’t understand why the United States would intervene on the side of the Allies."
>>> (Inserted comment:) **Your tiny-blog writer's U.S. Marine grandfather fought in and survived the Battle of Belleau Wood -- and five more World War I battles in France, 1918.** (A little more about Belleau Wood is excerpted further below.. P.S. My grandfather's battalion was awarded France's fourragère of the Croix de Guerre following the victory at Belleau Wood.)

Some additional (early) reporting (link): "Trump denies report claiming he called dead American soldiers 'losers' and 'suckers'"
Brief excerpt:
"...White House deputy press secretary Judd Deere also denied the report in a tweet, calling it "anonymously sourced story." The Atlantic said it spoke with multiple sources on the condition of anonymity. The Associated Press said they confirmed some details in the Atlantic report. NBC News has not independently verified the report."
..........................................
More (early) reporting (link):
"'We only have one truly sacred obligation': Biden hits back at Trump for reportedly calling dead US troops 'losers'"
Excerpt:
"...Biden, whose son Beau served in Iraq, said in his statement that he considers the protection of "generations of American troops have shed blood around the world in defense of our freedoms and to protect US vital interests" the "one truly sacred obligation" of a president."Duty, honor, country — those are the values that drive our service members. Those are the values that have formed the core of America's defense for centuries," Biden said. "And if I have the honor of serving as the next commander in chief, I will ensure that our American heroes know that I will have their back and honor their sacrifice — always.""
..................................
Brief excerpt, online encyclopedia article, "Battle of Belleau Wood" (footnotes omitted, emphasis added):
"...After the battle, the French renamed the wood "Bois de la Brigade de Marine" ("Wood of the Marine Brigade") in honor of the Marines' tenacity. The French government also later awarded the 5th and 6th Marine Regiments the Croix de guerre. An official German report classified the Marines as "vigorous, self-confident, and remarkable marksmen ..." General Pershing—commander of the AEF—said, "The deadliest weapon in the world is a United States Marine and his rifle." Pershing also said "the Battle of Belleau Wood was for the U.S. the biggest battle since Appomattox and the most considerable engagement American troops had ever had with a foreign enemy."
Legend and lore has it that the Germans used the term "Teufelshunde" ("devil dogs") for the Marines. However, this has not been confirmed, as the term was not commonly known in contemporary German. The closest common German term would be "Höllenhunde" which means "hellhound".
Regardless of the term's origin, ten years after the battle, Lieutenant Colonel Ernst Otto, from the Historical Section of the German Army, wrote of the Marine Corps; "Their fiery advance and great tenacity were well recognized by their opponents."...
...Marines actively serving in the Fifth and Sixth Marine regiments are authorized to wear the French Fourragère on the left shoulder of their uniform to recognize the legacy and valor of their regimental predecessors."
