Don't forget to turn your clocks back today. Daylight Savings Time ended at 2:00 a.m.

If we really could turn back time, what year would you go back to? While you are thinking, I'll give my answer: Anytime before January 20, 2025, when our country began its downward spiral away from democracy and into authoritarian madness with a Manichaeistic despot at the helm, who appears more often than not to me to either be loony-tunes batsh*t delusional, or so narcissistic that he thinks he owns the world.

This is an open thread, all topics welcome.

    "The rules of the game have changed. Now, we have to rewrite the new rules."

    -- California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D), quoted by NBC News.

    I want a politician (5.00 / 2) (#5)

    A president, who is going to say we gotta fix this.   We gotta pass a bunch of laws to make these easily avoided so called NORMS into laws.

    There needs to be a wave of post Watergate type laws to stop this from ever happening again.

    I think many want that and I think the person who frames that best is going to be the next nominee.

    I like Pritzker but Newsome is doing it right now.

    And I think a bunch is going to be needed. I doubt the ballroom will be finished by 2029 but even if it is it needs to be destroyed.

    This nonsense of being under US law and having no representation needs to end. Statehood for PR and DC and maybe even Guam. Supreme court expanded to 13. Take districting for congressional seats out of the hands of the state legislatures. End the electoral college albeit a harder one there. Get rid of Citizen's United. And I'm sure there are more that I cannot think of right now.

    of conservative Christianity over other religious groups by members of this Administration is frankly shocking in its blatant unconstitutionality.

    While the American leader touched down in a dated Air Force One, the French PM outclassed him by arriving in the mighty Concorde flying at Mach 2 and 60,000 feet.
