@Huntn00 He would want to name them all after himself, like Trumpopolis or something ridiculous like that. And they'd all have a Trump Tower and Trump this and Trump that.

Like Potterville.

"This smackdown between two White male extremist brutes [DeSantis and Trump] may seem entertaining to some. Yet as a scholar of strongmen and the destruction they cause to societies, I see this macho posturing about who can be more commanding and violent as dangerous in myriad ways."

A woman from Kherson tells how Ukrainian Defenders made sure she knew she would be rescued after the destruction of Kakhovka dam - they dropped her a note from a drone, then directed a team of volunteers to her home.

SLAVA UKRAINI ❤️❤️❤️

My gawd, Russians & Republicans are the same motley cur!

Russians believe that migrants into their country must "earn" their right to live in that great xenophobic motherland of theirs - and serve at the frontlines first.

@Huntn00 I would agree with you with one caveat. The Right has become very well entrenched in not only the courts including the Supreme Court, but in local school boards, local municipalities, etc. the fuse has been lit and I think it may take decades to rid ourselves of this Q-anon style bullshit! So, even if we don’t end up with the Orange Goon, there are many other states and courts that are already headed down that path! I hope I’m wrong

Trump's new promise is to build 10 new cities on federal land (why?) ....

Lemme guess, Mexico is paying for them ...

@Huntn00 I wouldn’t put ANYTHING past that turd! It seems like every day I read something even most insane happening, if not in Florida than some other state. It definitely seems we’re running headlong into mass political violence between states, federal government and people in general! It’s extremely saddening

Ya got my vote! Ol' Mitch "Turtleface" McConnell needs to permanently retire. We need to get that obstructionist SOB out of office as soon as we can!👎😡-ER

"The hot conditions are developing too quickly, and across too much of the planet, to be explained solely by El Niño. Records are falling around the globe many months ahead of El Niño’s peak impact, which typically hits in December and sends global temperatures soaring for months to follow."

So, it appears the "secret sauce" to prevent another disastrous storm that knocks out my power for 3 days is to make sure everything is charged to 100% -- car, laptop, phone, watch, earbuds, lantern, bluetooth speaker, ETC. ALSO, do not under any circumstances buy anything perishable that day.

And that is how I guarantee I will not lose electricity.

The last installment of my look at the SCOTUS term is about judicial restraint--or rather lack thereof. In what ways did SCOTUS rewrite or invent rules to achieve the desired result? Take a look with me. https://open.substack.com/pub/statuskuo/p/unrestrained?r=1zr8b&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web

"Our system is supposed to function by way of majority, elected rule—and not via edicts from a star chamber. Interference in the legislative or executive process is rightfully viewed by many as a power grab, especially when the Court’s decisions are doing the heavy lifting for the party out of power. It is a form of minority rule, and it is antithetical to democratic principles."

"Among the most notable new features of Chief Justice John Roberts’s Court is a willingness to insert itself into matters traditionally reserved to the legislative or executive branches, substituting its own judgment for that of Congress or federal agencies.

This is a particularly troubling development for any democracy."
